Sweet Love

Chapter 2

<3 Roses <3

A couple of weeks later, I realized I forgot to get them a welcome gift! I rushed out to the market to find something and then I spotted something near the flower shop. It was Aaiden! I was gonna go up and say hello but then some girl walked out of the boba shop and walked with Aaiden. Smiling and nudging him playfully. 

What the hell?

I hurriedly walked away so they didn't see me. I rushed into the gift shop, grabbed a few small things, and rushed home in tears. Why didn't he tell me about his girlfriend?  I don't get it. 

As if the gods heard my crying, it started to rain as I drove home.  Damn it! I could hardly see because of the rain. I drove home with the radio blaring and maybe just a little bit over the speed limit. 

I got home and saw the candy jar. Without thinking I smashed it against the floor as hard as I could, as if I put all of my anger into breaking it. I know we had just started talking but what the fuck? He didn't tell me about any other women besides his mother! 

I sat in my living-room crying. I hated him, but I loved him at the same time. I finally opened up to someone, and then they lied to me. This is why I fucking hate love. 

As I was crying in a ball on the floor, pathetically I might add. I heard someone knock on the door. What NOW? I wanted to yell. But nonetheless, I gathered myself up and wiped my eyes, prepared to smile, and answered the door. 

It was Aaiden. 

"Yes?" I said, trying not to let my voice crack. What was he doing here? Shouldn't he be with his girlfriend? "Hey, I just- Mira are you alright?" I was shocked. He noticed? Shit! "Yes, yes i'm fine." I said with a smile. "Just...something happened today and It overwhelmed me. I'm alright though." I added. 

"Awe, " he responded, frowning a bit. "I'm sorry, but I think I have something that will make you feel better!" He said smiling. "Really? What is it?" I blushed a little, he got me a gift? Why? 

He pulled a bouquet of  pink and white roses out from behind his back. I gasped, "Aaiden these are..." I couldn't find the words. " I hoped you would like them" He said, turning away. I looked behind him and saw the same girl from earlier. 

"Aaiden!" The girl yelled. "One second Ari! Sorry, stepsisters" He said, rolling his eyes. "Why don't I come inside to talk instead?" "Okay.." Oh. my. god!

He came in and saw the glass on the floor. "What happened?" He asked, shocked. "oh uhm..my cat." I lied. "Oh..let me help you clean it up!" He said smiling as he put the roses in a nearby vase. 

"No, no it's alright! I've got it!" I replied, rushing over to the glass. "No, you might cut your hands!" He argued back. "No I won't" I said as I picked up a large piece and rolled my eyes. Shit. I cut my hand- 

"Goddamn it!" I hissed. Rolling his eyes, he walked over and laughed, taking my hand in his. I winced, but just a little. He took my hand and surprisingly, he licked the blood off. Why?- Just why- 

It hurt like hell though. "Do you have bandages?" "No, I don't usually need them." I laughed, trying not to cry. He moves a little closer to me now, so close infact that his breath was fanning my lips. 

His fingers interlocked with mine, giving me a small sense of comfort. He was gonna kiss me. I know he was. He got so close, and yet, I still ( greedily ) wanted him even closer to me. We got so close, and then,

His phone rang. Fuck.
