Alpha Aiden And His Human Mate

Chapter 8

"So, are you going back to school? ," he asks after relaxing in silence for a while.

"No, I'm just gonna go home, I have homework to complete" I have been sliding behind in schoolwork. And now that I feel better, I have to go catch up.

" Okay, so when am I seeing my sister again?" He inquires jokingly and I smile.

"You can join me if you want, I don't mind" I'm seriously inviting a stranger to my house.

Every relationship starts with two strangers, right?

"Maybe some other time, see you soon" he gives me a side hug before standing up and walking away.

Well, that was something.

Getting back in my car, I drive home with a serene heart.

Time.

I'm gonna give myself time. Process everything, heed to their motives then make my ruling.

I take all the books I need which are a whole lot on my dining table, and immerse myself in the world of studying.

Sometime later, Grace appears with my phone which has been ringing endlessly.

Can't they just stop?

I begrudgingly pick it up without confirming who the caller is, just so I could quit this madness.

''Hey'' the unexpected caller mumbles

Aiden? I can't miss that voice anywhere.

''Hi," I whisper back nervously. Like the first time, my heart extremely speeds up. The effect he has on me is so immense. I don't know if I will be able to ignore him.

"I came looking for you but you weren't in school" his voice is low and deep. It's calming.

Did he come to my school?

''I left early, what's up ?"

''I'm fine, just wanted to say hi"

''Okay"

He came looking for me to say hi, understandable.

There is silence on both sides. I don't know what to say so I choose to wait.

''Are you busy ?'' He breaks the silence again and I sigh in relief.

''Yes, school work '' I mumble staring at the books in front of me.

''Can I see you? '' he hesitates before adding ''Please"

What should I say? I don't think it's a good idea. I'm still processing everything and I haven't broken up with Jake yet.

'' I don't know Aiden, I have homework for the whole week which I'm trying to finish before school tomorrow '' It's true though.

''You won't even know am there, I just want to see you'' I won't know he is here. he must be kidding because his presence alone is distracting.

I know it is a bad idea but I can't tell him no, can I?

'' Mel '' he calls my name again when I stay silent for a minute.

Damn! I never knew my name could sound better.

''Okay, you can come'' I eventually accept and he instantly hung up. I stare at my table with a sigh. My studying just got ruined.

I love studying a lot. I like the idea of beauty and brains because they complement each other.

Minutes later, the doorbell rang and I let Grace open it as I do my thing.
