It's been four days since me and Aiden confessed for each other with no more complications well on his behalf not mine. I still haven't mustered up on how I am going to tell Lyn but for some unknown reason I got a feeling that she knows that Aiden may have already had feelings for me.

I spent the day with her yesterday but mostly me carrying her bags from going shopping with her. What girl buys five pair of shoes with forty five quid each. I was flabbergasted of how much money came out of my bank card.

I may have been spending my money on her as I kinda feel guilty as I technically cheated on her. Okay not kinda fully guilty.

If Emilie had heard on what I have done I wouldn't hear the end of it. But I got a feeling that she doesn't like Lyn anyways.

I shake away from my thoughts as I hear my door knock making me groan rolling over on to my stomach. "What" I shouted but most of it was mumbled through the pillow. I hear the door opening slightly and then I hear... paddling?

What the fuck.

I turn my head to the side just to see a small yellow fur ball paddling across my floor boards. I jump out of bed as land on the floor with a thump causing the animal to turn its head to me tilting it to the side. My eyes go wide as the animal paddles over to me.

I hear laughing from the door as I look up to see Aiden with his phone out recording me as I flip him off just as the fucking duck lays on my lap.

"Why the fuck is there a duck in my room?!" I seethed, narrowing my eyes at the creature.

"Quackers just wanted to see his new mummy" Aiden shrugs like it is not a big deal of having a small duck in your room.

Hold up did he just say quakers?

"Quackers? Where on earth did you get that name from?" I looked at him deadpanned.

"Because ducks quacks so he is now named Quackers" Aiden says seriously as he smiles like a goofy kid as I shake my head petting the... duck.

Yup this is weird.

"Follow up question why did you get a duck?" I questioned raising a brow as Aiden rubs his neck sheepishly.

"I .. uh... it's for you?" He says.

A small smile ended up on my face at his adorable face and I couldn't hide my fondness anymore with the duck as I hold it tight against my chest, "you remembered" I smiled up at him as a small tear falls down my cheek.

Fuck you little ducky for making me cry like a baby.

I'm a man.

Aiden sees the tear as his face changes to panic as he runs over to me pulling me into a hug, "what's wrong baby? Why you crying? I thought you would like the duck? I can give the fuck back. Fuck-" he rambled as I chuckled against his chest making him to pull back furrowing his brows at me as I lean in to peck his narrowed eyebrows away.
