Change

Aiden

(A/n) btw this is still in Nora's p.o.v.

*Next day*

I sit in my bed looking at the small package in my hands.

This morning I've woken up around 9, which apparently is pretty early for a Sunday morning here.

I've had a small breakfast on my own since they were all still sleeping and then I've gone upstairs to start unpacking as quietly as possible. Luckily I haven't woken up anyone and they have all gotten up around eleven.

It's now 2pm and I have almost everything unpacked, but midway through it I've found the small package I have on my hand right now.

It has a small note that says "To my favorite bitch: I remember when we were little and we had sleepovers you would like to lay down and just stare into the sky late at night. I once asked you why, and you told me you found it relaxing; just staring into the space where millions of stars and planets shone back to us. I still think that some of their brightness is kept in your eyes in the way they shine even when there is no light around. I'm going to miss you bitch, take care. Hai"

Tears form in my eyes as I realize I'm probably not going to see her in a really long time. I am going to miss her soo bad.

I call her feeling the need to talk to her, but she doesn't pick up. It isn't until then that I notice how different our timezones are. This is going to be hard...

Just then Sammy comes in

+Nora I-- Hey what's wrong? Are you okay?

He sits beside me on his spare bed and puts his arm around my shoulders. I place my head on his shoulder and shut my eyes tightly, I can't let him see me cry.

-Nothing, I'm just fine
+C'mon Nora, you don't have to lie to me. I just want to help you
-It's just... I miss my best friend. She was-is like a sister to me and this is going to be hard without her
+I know this is hard, but I'm sure you'll find a way to keep in touch with her. Besides you can always count on me. Is that hers?
-Yes, she sneaked it into my bag without me noticing, we are just like that
+Well take it as something to have always with you, to remind you of her
-Thank you Sammy, I really appreciate this. What were you going to say anyways?
+Oh yeah, that I forgot to tell you that one of my best friends is coming over today. His name is Aiden
-... Do you want me to... go out while he is here or something?
+No! No, it's fine, I just wanted you to know that he's coming, he can be a little weird sometimes and I thought you should be prepared
-I'll deal with it, but thanks

We both chuckle and even though we're not siblings, he makes me feel like home.

+This is now your house too. You know that, right?

We stay like that a bit more and then have lunch with dad and Kate. Surprisingly it isn't awkward at all and Kate asks me about how it is in Oxford. After lunch and a very comfortable conversation as a real family Sammy and I go back upstairs while they stay in the living room.

Not too long later, a kind of short guy with blond straight hair and bright blue eyes comes into the room, looks at me with glowing eyes and holds up a finger to his lips, telling me to stay quiet. He tip toes without making a noise towards Sammy and throws himself on top of him. Since he was laying on his stomach on his bed he didn't see him coming, causing him to squeal out in a not very manly way. The guy who I suppose is Aiden starts laughing loudly, and so do I.

+What the hell is wrong with you two?!
-Hey what do I have to do in this?
+You didn't tell me he was going to do that!!
-Well sorry!

He grumbles something under his breath and then moves so that Aiden falls to the floor, Sammy and I both laughing

=Well that wasn't so nice
+What can I say? You deserved it
-Payback is a bitch
=Hey didn't see you there

After Sammy and I high five each other he stands up from the flor and streches out his hand for me to shake. I take it in mine and give it a firm shake before letting it go.

-I'm Nora, and you must be Aiden?
=Yes, that's me. But that accent tho, British?
-Yeah
=Hmm you're going to have to keep an eye on her man
+I know A, I know
-Keep an eye on me? Why?

They both look at each other as if they knew something I don't, making me nervous

-Well?
+How to say this...
=Let's just say that...
+A British accent is... considered to be... attractive

I continue staring at them with one eyebrow raised waiting for them to explain until Aiden just blurts out what they both were thinking

=It's fucking sexy
+And added to green eyes and dark brown hair...
=There are going to be a lot of guys around you
-And? I can take care of myself
=I wouldn't be so sure of that
-Whatever

I roll my eyes and fall back to my bed, putting my headphones on. I watch as they get the message and go to sit at Sammy's bed, taking out two Xbox controllers and starting a game.

After a while we hear a door slamming shut so we all decide to go downstairs to see what caused it. When we get there we see dad and Kate have left a note saying they were going out for dinner and that Aiden could sleep over if he wanted.

As Sammy goes to the kitchen to order some pizzas, Aiden puts both of his hands on the table, his arms at my sides pinning me to the living room table.

=Are you still so sure about taking care of yourself?

His warm breath hits the back of my neck and down my back, making me shiver. I try not to let it affect me and put on my show.

I turn around, place one hand on his chest and step closer to him so our chests are touching. His arms loose strength and one of them falls to our side. I then take my opportunity to whisper on his ear a simple "yes".

It is now his turn to shiver as I easily untangle myself from his grasp and leave to the kitchen to join Sammy. I turn around to take one last glance of his reaction and laugh loudly at his complete red face, Sammy laughing just as loud from his spot at the halway that connects the living room to the kitchen.

(A/n) sorry for not posting in so long, but I'll try to upload another chapter this week ❤❤
