An age gap love story.
A brokenhearted billionaire.
A college girl.

"Nevaeh," Aiden whispers, "can I rest my head on your shoulder?"
I nod, letting him rest his head on my shoulder. He closes his eyes.
"Thank you." He sighs in contentment. "...

My gaze darts outside the car window during our journey back home. Aiden is driving beside me, and we've been sitting in comfortable silence.
However, my mind still can't get over the fact that we just had sex in the campus library.
Yes, we'd done something inappropriate there before, but what we did just now was beyond my imagination. I never thought that we would do such a wild thing. What if someone came over and spotted us doing that?
"I can't believe that we just did that," I blurt out.
I shift my gaze to Aiden, who only responds with a small smile. As usual, his side view is really good it almost distracts my mind.
Right now, Aiden looks calm, so different than a while ago when he was looking for me in the library. I can't always tell what he's feeling inside. Sometimes, he's insecure. But other times, he looks contented.
He glances at me and chuckles lightly. "Should we worry about that?"
He lays his hand over the gear shift and opens his palm, silently telling me to hold his hand. My heart melts as I see that simple but meaningful gesture. I lace my fingers through his, and he gives me another reassuring smile that washes away all the other things in my head.
It's strange. Just being together with him like this does so much to my heart. It makes me feel like nothing else matters as long as we're together.
Somehow, seeing how badly Aiden needed me a while ago has given me hope. There's a hope that what we have will be enough to face all the struggles and challenges coming our way.
Perhaps, if Aiden indeed needs me by his side that much, he won't leave me or won't tell me to leave once he figures out what happened in the past.
I know that this is selfish of me. I'm such a selfish girl for wanting the man I've broken. Yet, only this time, I want to allow myself to be selfish. Because I can't imagine losing him.
My heart would shatter into pieces if he hated me.
