LOVE STITCHES

Chapter Twenty Three

"There you are, someone just left your office"

Aiden frowned.

"Someone? Did you see their face?" He asks. Nithya shook her head.

"They were wearing a green tracksuit."

They enter Aiden's office and see a large brown envelope. He glances at his friend who shrugged. He sighs.

"Maybe it's a security hazard, I'll call security"

"Wait!....maybe it's a donation"

"Nithya, a strange person left this in my office. I could be a viral bomb"

"Or....it could be money, open it"

"No, I'm calling security. Don't touch it" he says and walked out. Nithya frowned.

"Why is he so difficult!"

Mintues later, Aiden returns with security wearing protective clothing.

"There it is"

"Don't worry sir, we'll burn it to avoid any harm"

"Thanks"

They watch the team put the envelope in red plastic bag and carry it out. Aiden sighed.

"And now we wait for the security footage"

Nithya sighed.

"I think you're overthinking this."

"This is a hospital Nithya, we can never be too careful"

"Thanks for the pie"

"You're welcome....see you tomorrow?"

"I'm not sure....Aiden is trying to keep me busy without a schedule"

"Oh...see you around then"

Cayden offered him a smile.

"Goodluck on the coitus"

Jaxon laughed shaking his head.

"He's too cute for this world"

Outside, Cayden walked back home. Surprisingly their house was just two streets away. His phone started to ring. It was Aiden.

"Hello"

"Hey babe....are you home?"

"I'm on my way there, I just had pie with whipped cream"

"Sounds yummy, let's go together tomorrow"

He smiled and skipped along the sidewalk.

"I'd like that"

"Me too....I'm going to be home at 6, there's a takeout menu on the fridge"

"Okay and Aiden?"

"Yes babe?"

"....I love you"

"I love you too....so much"

He smiles and hangs up. He stuffs the phone in his pocket and crosses the street.

"Welcome back!"

It was Jade again. Cayden smiled at her.

"Thank you"

She smiled.

"Do you want some cocoa? I'm alone in the house so I'm bored"

Cayden shrugged.

"Okay"

They go inside. Cayden was led to the kitchen.
