Not So Perfect

XVIII

Aiden's POV

"Do you think that worked?" I asked Janice, as soon as Nora stepped out.

"Totally. Dude she was so jealous, it was written all over her face." She said, making me grin like a fool.

"Really?"

"Really. But I must say she's a beauty Aiden. How did she even fall for you?" She asked, making me roll my eyes.

"Whatever."

"Dude, you need to make things right with her and fast. What if she misunderstands us and you know tries to move on. And someone else comes and sweeps her off her feet and runs away?!" She said, I furrowed my brows.

"Seriously?" I frowned at her.

"Seriously. And now let's go for lunch I'm super hungry." She said, pushing me towards the door.

"Okay okay calm down. Let me get my coat." I said, moving to take my coat and walked out with her.

It's been a week since the whole jealousy mission thing we did, then I had to go for a business meeting to Paris, so I went with Janice as she was returning too.

And now I'm on my way back home. I'm first going to go to my home, there's some files I need to take. And then back to Ash's.

I can't wait to see Nora again, I missed her. All this week I wanted nothing but to go back to her and make everything right.

I know its going to be harder than that. But I'm going to try harder too.

I want to clear all our misunderstandings and just be the way we were, before anything of this happened.

I was foolish enough to let her go once, I won't do it twice.

After a while, I reached Aria and Ash's home. I went in and Sophie ran to me so I picked her up and spun her in my arms.

"How're you princess... Did you miss me?" I asked her.

"Yes I missed you a lot. Did you bring something for me?" She asked, getting down, looking at me hopefully.

"Ofcourse I did, you'll get it later when I take it out, okay?" I told her, poking her nose.

She giggled and nodded, running away.

"How was your trip, Aide?" Ash asked me and I nodded saying it was good.

I sat down and he passed me a glass of water.

"Where's Aria?" I asked him.

He rolled his eyes and I looked at him confused.

"She went to a club." He said and I chuckled.

"And? Why are you so annoyed?" I said, sipping my water.

"Oh you wouldn't know now, you will when you have a wife of your own and slimy looking guys look at her like they want to snatch them away from me." He said, looking irritated.

"Calm down Ash." I said, laughing at him.

"She went with Nora, I told her not to go and she gave me a whole feminist lecture as to why I should let her go." He said, rolling his eyes again.

I looked at him immediately.

"Nora went too?" I asked him, sitting my glass back down.

"Yeah." He said simply.

"Oh.." I trailed off, clearing my throat.

I have no problem with her going to the club, obviously.

"Speaking of, we need to speak about you and that Nora girl." He said.
