Mafia boss; Chasing the ice princess.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN.

"So what you are trying to say... Is that you barged into my house because you thought your nemesis kidnapped Marcel?" Bree asked raising her eyebrows.

Aiden nodded. "Yes.. But.." Aiden started to say when Chloe clicked her tongue. "You think that is enough of an excuse? You barged into the home of a young and single lady with a gun... And your excuse is that you thought your nemesis kidnapped your friend? Really?" Chloe sneered and Aiden frowned.

"It sounds worse when you say it like that... But in my defence, what kind of responsible young lady would leave her aprtment's door open?" Aiden said and Chloe scoffed.

Bree squinted her eyes while Marcel jabbed Aiden with his elbow. "I am sorry... He doesn't have any sense. Don't mind him. I apologize on his behalf." Marcel said and Aiden shrugged. "It is true though." Aiden muttered.

Chloe sneered and was about to say something when Bree stepped forward.

"Sorry.. but did you say my apartment's door was open? I might not remember everything from last night but I remember locking the door." Bree said tilting her head.

Chloe's eyes widened and she bit her lips. Aiden and Marcel shrugged. "Maybe you thought you did but you didn't... You were pretty drunk last night. And I also don't remember you locking the door." Marcel said and Bree nodded.

Aiden frowned. "How do you know.. I mean what do you mean you don't remember her.. wait, why are you even here in the first place?" Aiden asked confused.

Marcel ran a hand through his hair. "I had a drink with Bree and I came here with her." Marcel said and Aiden's mouth fell open.

"What?! So you came here with a lady and here I was thinking you got kidnapped. While I was worrying about you, you were probably having the time of your life." Aiden said regretfully. Marcel grimaced while Bree scoffed.

"What the hell are you trying to say? Enjoying the time of his life with a slut right?" Bree said tilting her head.

Aiden looked shocked and shook his head. "No.. of course not. I didn't mean it that way at all. I just thought that since the both of you came here together.. I thought that maybe you had s-"

"No we didn't. We didn't have anything. Nothing at all." Marcel interrupted and Aiden nodded. "Yes. Of course." Aiden said and Bree rolled her eyes.

"Hmmm. Jumping into hasty conclusions like that.. it is no wonder you don't like him, Chloe... I am allowed to call you that since it's weekend right?" Bree said turning to Chloe. Chloe nodded biting her lips. Bree squinted at her.

"Chloe.. why are you suddenly so quiet? Is something wrong?" Bree asked worriedly. Aiden and Marcel also turned to Chloe.

Chloe cleared at her throat. "Uhmm.. nothing is wrong. It's just that.. well, I uhmm might have been the one to unlock your door and leave it open. I didn't do it in purpose I swear.. I just forgot. I feel bad because my leaving your door open.. well it made you seem you like an irresponsible lady." Chloe rambled.

Bree chuckled at how guilty Chloe sounded. "Is that all? Here I was thinking you were feeling sick or something. It is fine. Besides, what responsible man would walk into a young lady's house uninvited? Should it matter if the lady left her door open or not? Any man who uses that as an excuse is just proving how irresponsible and arrogant he is." Bree said glaring purposefully at Aiden.

Chloe grinned at Bree's jab at Aiden. Aiden, on the other hand, was unimpressed. However, Marcel stepped forward before all hell broke loose.

"Well.. once again, I apologize on Aiden's behalf. And we shall stop intruding on your privacy now and get our of your hair. Oh and Bree, it was nice hanging out with you." Marcel said before he dragged Aiden towards the door.

Aiden continued glaring at the Andersons but allowed Marcel drag him away. Marcel yanked open the door and pushed Aiden out. Before walking out, Marcel gave Bree a brilliant smile.

Bree and Chloe turned to each other as the door slammed shut behind Aiden and Marcel. "Well...that was chaotic." Bree said and Chloe grinned.

Bree stared at Chloe before clearing her throat. "You know Chloe.. I miss the old you. Even though you never spoke much, you were fun to be around and you were always smiling. Now.. you walk around like everyone wronged you... Like you hate everyone. Today, I saw a glimpse of the old you. Even back then at the coffee shop. Don't take this the wrong way.. but I think that Mr Thompson.. he brings out the best in you. I really really enjoyed being around you today." Bree said softly.

Chloe's smile slipped off her face. She shook her head lightly. ".. I should go." Chloe muttered before walking towards the door. As she got there, she turned around.

"Aiden Thompson is the one who killed the old Chloe Anderson. And he most certainly won't be the one who will kill this Chloe Anderson. He doesn't bring out the best in me.... And with what you have just said.. I have realized something. Everything is happening the way it was the last time. I will make sure it doesn't happen again. I will not allow him break me again.. not this time." Chloe said before she turned to the door and yank it open. She sighed before walking out.

Bree stared after Chloe and sighed. "What exactly did you do to her, Aiden Thompson? How exactly did you break her? And how are you going to put her back together?" Bree muttered shaking her head.

"Good afternoon everyone. We have a new student. His name is Aiden Thompson. Aiden, sit next to Chloe. Chloe, please raise your hand."

Chloe sighed. She shouldn't have raised her hand. If she hadn't, then they wouldn't have become friends. And if they hadn't, what happened would not have happened.
