UNWANTED AFFLICTION | n. smith [ON HIATUS]

※ 𝟳 ፧ truth be told

Later that evening, Aleena knocked onto Alden's door, hoping that he was in his room. Although he didn't need an apology for what happened, she thought that she ought to apologize for Evan's rude behavior.

After a few moments, the male opened the door and looked down at the girl, he was shirtless and wore his jeans. He was clearly surprised to see the girl, but that didn't stop him from showing a slight bit of frustration.

"I want to apologize for Evan's behavior. That douche bag can really ruin a good moment, but I'm thankful for what he did." She stated, Alden crossed his arms over his chest and furrowed his brows in confusion, "Despite him being my friend, he tends to go overboard when it comes to me and emotions." She sighed

When she used the term friend for him, he felt his irritation lift from his shoulders. They weren't together. He was relieved to hear that. When he heard that she referred to emotions, his look instantly softened, "It's okay, you didn't need to apologize for him." He stepped to the side, extending his arm into the room, "Come in?" He asked

She gave a nod and a gentle grin as she walked in, looking around as she did. She made a mental note that there was one bed in the room, "So you don't have a roomie." She softly chuckled

"Nope, the room is only big enough for one." He replied, a small grin on his face as well, "You didn't have to apologize for him, you know."

The girl turned and looked at him, "I know, but I felt the need to apologize for my friend." He looked at her, as they looked at each other, Aleena's eyes slowly trailed to his collarbones, then back up to his eyes, "He is an absolute douche."

"A douche that cares about you," he said as he took a step towards her, "He's a good friend, stepping in between an emotional friend and a stranger."

She took a step towards him, putting her hands to her sides as she looked up at him, "A stranger who seems actually different from the people she's met." She replied, his eyes darted to her lips, than back to her eyes.

"A girl who seems to have walked into the strangers room, not knowing he was thinking of her." He softly smirked down at her, his hands softly reaching out to the loops of her pants and gently pulled her closer

She couldn't help but place her hands flat on her bare chest, she could feel his smooth skin beneath her calloused hands, "A stranger who she had been thinking of since they had met yesterday."

"A girl the stranger wants to so badly kiss right now." He stated as he began to slowly lean down to her, "A stranger the girl wants to kiss as well." She replied as she leaned up, slightly pushing on her tippy toes to get closer.

Within minutes, their lips pushed together and instantly began to dance. His hands wrapped around her waist and pulled her into him, her arms wrapping around his neck, deepening the kiss. The pair instantly became one, their bodies melting into each other as the kiss began to quickly heat up. They would both be lying if they said they hadn't missed the feeling of intimacy.

Gripping onto the other, Aleena walked him back into the bed and pushed him to sit down, "What are you-" he started, but she cut him off with her lips, "Stop talking"

Aleena softly hummed as she sat down and ate supper, Evan sat across from her and Kalvin sat next to Evan. The pair had been a bit more comfortable with each other since they were assigned to work on the fence.

"I don't think there was enough gel in the world for that movie." Evan said, he continued to stuff his face with the little food on his plate. "Yeah, but it's still a classic John Travolta film." Kalvin replied to the male
