Aaron's POV:
I did not want to fucking talk to Cassie. The woman was a hypersexual being that jumped on any man that came close to her whether they were in a relationship or not. I went down to the dining room for lunch and I wanted to throw up when I saw my mom and Cassie talk as though they've been besties all their lives. Cassie looked up and smiled at me.
"Aaron! I didn't know you were coming! It's so nice to finally see you!" She said, getting up and walking towards me with her arms open. I screamed in my head and stuck my hand out. She looked at me confused and pushed it away before wrapping her arms around me. I moved away and gave her a stiff smile.
"Such a pleasure to see you too, Cassie," I said, my face almost expressionless.
She laughed.
"I've missed you. Come sit with us."
I glared at my mother before taking my seat at the table.
"Where have you been, Aaron? The last time I saw you was... Three years ago."
When I lost my virginity to her. Major mistake.
"I've been at college. "
My voice was cold but I didn't want to give her any indication that I was interested. She would take even a small smile as a gesture that I wanted to sleep with her.
"Ohh that's interesting." She said.I wanted to roll my eyes so hard but my mother's glare stopped me from doing so.
She made small talk with me until my father came.
I glared at him too. I could not wait till I could leave. I wish Aurelia was here so it was at least a little tolerable."Aaron, The Annual Ball is soon. You need a date. Why don't you take Cassie?"
My nostrils flared as I stared at him.
Cassie smiled and I looked at her.
"Sure. Why not?"
No fucking way I'm giving her even an ounce of attention the entire night.
"Are you done eating, Aaron?" My mother asked.
I nodded.
"Good. Why don't you and Cassie go out for a walk? Talk for a while. Get to know each other."
I took a deep breath to calm myself.
" Okay. "
Cassie got up and so did I. We walked out of the palace and went to the gardens.
" So, Aaron. How have you been? "
" I've been great, Cassandra. What about you? "
I had no reason to be informal with her. What happened with us is in the past.
" I've been good too. "
We walked in silence. I had my hands interlocked together behind my back.
Aurelia called and I picked up almost immediately.
" Hi, my love. " I said.
" Hi, baby. How's your day? "
I glared at Cassandra and walked away from her.
" They're whoring me out. " I whisper yelled.
She laughed.
" Aw. What do you mean? "
"They brought my ex here. They want us to reconnect." I said, with a nasty look on my face.
"Aw, baby. It's okay. Talk to her."
"And you're fine with it?"
"Of course not. But I can't slap you when you're a thousand miles away. So, I'll just wait for you to come back home."
Home. She was truly my home.
I laughed.
" I miss you, my love. "
" I miss you too." She sighed.
I felt a tap on my shoulder and I rolled my eyes before turning around.
" So are you going to take me to The Annual Ball? "
" Who's that? " Aurelia asked.
" My ex. Cassandra. "
" Is that your girlfriend? " Cassie asked.
" Yes. "
" Oh. Does she know about the tradition? "
" Have you heard of a certain word called 'privacy', Cassie? "
" Damn. Didn't know you were so sensitive. " She said, walking away.
I sighed.
" Sorry, my love. "
" What tradition? "
" I'll explain when I get back. "
" When are you getting back? "
" One month. "
She groaned.
" Can you come here? "
" I have classes, Aaron. "
" I know. I'll talk to the dean for you. Please. I miss you so much. It's torture being here. "
" I don't know if that's a good idea, baby. "
" Why not? You can come after the ball. That way the media doesn't hound us the entire time we're here. "
" I don't know. Do your parents even want me there? "
They don't. But I can't tell her that. Not yet.
"It doesn't matter what they think, my love."
"I don't know. Listen, I've gotta go now. I'll call once my first class is over. Alright? "
" Okay. I love you, Lia. "
" I love you too, baby. " She said and hung up.
God, I missed her so much.
