RIGHT

Chapter 44

I was always been a curious person but with him and his secrets, I learned to be patient. Even if he would take an eternity to reveal I will wait for him.

When his verdant eyes fell on me, his lips twitched, with a long stride he approached me and pulled me against his muscular chest. My hands wrapped around him and his lips moved to mine, and then he kissed me, passionately. Breathless, that is what I was when his lips tugged away from me. It was a sweet and warm feeling to be in his embrace. Yes, we fought but nothing was considerable in front of our love. Love always wins.

"Aiden, I have something to te-" His lips once again invaded my mouth which honestly, I loved.

"I am so sorry, Emerald. I shouldn't have reacted that way. I would try not shut you out, it's hard for me but I will try for you." he apologized. His modesty brought a smile to my face. He had changed, change as in not like in terms of appearance, virtue, morals but on aspects of understanding and value. He was putting forth the understanding and consideration of his wrong action rather than letting his pride speak. He wasn't the same Aiden who would throw rude remarks here and there.

" I am sorry too, I might have overreacted, I should have understood that with the force I was making matter worse."

" I just need some time eventually I will tell you someday."

" And I will wait for that someday." I smiled, and his hand tightened around me, as his eyes bored into me.

" Thank you," he squeezed my sides and grinned.

"I have some great news for you," he appeared perplexed but none other than that his beautiful smile never flattered.

"I am selected for an internship," my excitement was assorted in my voice. In an instant, I was swirling in the air in the arms of Aiden.

"I am so proud of you. You deserve it, you deserve everything." He said, settling my feet on the ground and I stooped a little to catch my breath. " Let's go to my house you deserve the treat for your accomplishment."

His smile does not at all was providing any indication of innocence, the meaning behind his words redden my cheeks. Even though I wanted to spend time with him, I had assignments plus I wanted to meet Grace, whom I haven't talked to or seen in days.

" Your offer sounds amazing," his smirk thrived, "but, I will pass it." The faster his smile was flourished as faster it fell. My heart tugged, he truly wanted to celebrate my achievement.

I quickly kissed his cheek and whispered in his ear in a low tone.

"We will celebrate, just you and me, tonight." He gulped, and I kissed his neck softly and at lightning speed, we had space between us. He looked at me with a heavy gaze, while intertwining our fingers.

" I am will make sure of it, tomorrow you won't able to walk at all." With my burning cheeks, we sat inside the car while his smile returned on his lips.

" Well, let's take you to the dorm so you can complete your assignments, and then we can execute with our plan," he said while driving.

"Don't you have your assignments to complete? I never saw you studying." I asked. This question often invades my mind but I never had ever given any serious consideration to this matter.

" I have and it's already completed, practicing in the company are the perks of getting it done effortlessly," he replied, gazing in my way for a second before continuing to drive.

It was easy to understand his point, he was already handling a business, and not any business but a reputable business, working at a young age had his outlook on factors which was taught us in the books.

I still remember one time wandering through the college hallways, I saw Aiden's face with some unfamiliar faces in the portrait hung mightily, he had ace academically. He was the topper of the class for the past two years; it made me think about how can some person have two different sides. He acted carefree and cold, he breaks all the rules yet he excels in his studies, he had the brain of a genius and immotile confidence.

" Aren't you a genius!" He just smirked and settled his one hand on my knees, intertwining both our hands.

Soon, we parked in front of my dormant building, and hand in hand we walked to the room, however at the entrance, we heard the sharp sound of music blaring in indoor of the room.

" I think everyone is here," I said as we stepped inside, the space was plenished with inebriated individuals. There was no trifle difference at the place from before, every time the party held the same spectacle. Alcohol, intoxicated people, drugs, and sex.

Aiden settled his arm around my shoulder and pulled me against him. Few familiar faces were seen, Holden and Warren were conversing with the beer in their hands. Grace was sitting in the corner with a guy, I think doing drugs. My rudimentary aim in coming here was to have a conversation with her. Lately, she has been utterly distant, drinking often, in her world. We even hadn't properly talked in weeks, guess today also was no possibilities were seen. She was exclusively intoxicated.

Ava was the first individual that noticed us, and also was drunk, from the way her cheeks flushed and eyes glazed, however, she was in control, she was well aware of her surroundings.

"Guys look here, love birds have graced us with their presence," Aiden's arms tightened around my shoulder at her words. I glanced at him, and he had an unreadable immovable exterior. Few gazes drifted in our way, however, intoxication seizes your senses, so not much center of attention we were.

I sigh, heavily.

In relief as well as in distress, relief that attention has been diverted and in distress because the parties only ever brought the affliction for me. And today seems like another rain on my parade day.

Without a word or a glance in her direction, Aiden pushed through the violent crowd towards where it was less populated. Before we could say or commend anything, Warren was at our side.

"Are you two dating?" He inquired, my gaze discreetly peering at Aiden for the answer, last time when this subject rose, in a snap of fingers Aiden declined it with utmost apathy.

So, I was certainly dreading his retort. I knew he loves me; however, does he want to let the world know about us was the integral question. He had been in the situation not long ago and at that time his denial not only left me with disappointment but also with hurt, so everything was once again dependent on his answer. Aiden's forest eyes fastened with mine; a tenderness glazed in them. I held my breath, in anticipation of his answer.

"Yes, we are." Still looking at me with the same warmth, my heart flipped and butterflies erupted in my stomach. My happiness could be reflected in my vision, he pulled me against him and kissed my forehead.

He was accepting our relationship.

"Well fucking awesome," Warren gave me a sincere smile which I returned with the same integrity. Warren has always been a genuine and honest person, the night when a massive secret was revealed, I was surprised but not judgmental at all. He acts so carefreely when deep inside he was hiding his fears, maybe it's like that, we all hide deep secrets within ourselves with a smile, a perfect illusion to cover our gloom.

" I had called you tons of times to join the party, now I understood what you were occupied with," he said to Aiden with amusement prominent in his tone.

" Emerald," before we could react, a familiar voice rose from my behind, immediately seizing our attention. " Can we talk?"

Holden timidly stood in front of me, purely sober. I was upset about how he lied to Aiden that day just to spite him. That day, if Aiden wasn't as understandable as he had been, there was a possibility that could certainly blemish our fragile relationship. So, I had every right to be upset with Holden.
