ALL FOR YOU

CHAPTER 15: Back To School

"I like you" he said and I froze. What the hell is he saying.  I stopped playing with my hair and sat up straight.

"what? " I asked.

" I like you. I have for a while now. I tried passing my feelings off as hatred, but am not really the type to shy away from things, so I want to ask you to be my girlfriend. " okay that was straight forward. I really wasn't expecting to leave my house and be asked at by Aiden Underwood in a cafe. Okay, do I like him? Kinda. Do I have feelings for him. Hell no. Do I want to be hi girlfriend? No.

" um... I appreciate the fact that you were bold enough to tell me how you feel about me, but the truth is that I don't like you the way you like me, so am going to give you a no on that one" I replied. Okay, kinda hurtful, but I didn't want him harboring any more feelings for me. More so, am dead if Liam finds out that I agreed to go out with a guy.

"Sam, you don't need to give me an answer now, you can think about it and-"

"listen Aiden, no matter how much I think about, my answer will still remain the same. I can tell you that I like you, I can agree to go out with you, but that will only make me a terrible person. I can't do that to you" I said and he smiled and stood up.

"you'll change your mind sooner or later". He said and I raised my eyebrow.

"nah, am sticking to my answer"

"you will, because I'll make sure of it. I will torture every person at school except you. I can't bring myself to inflict major harm on you anymore."

"Aiden, come on... "

" take the remaining time to rest, you look sick. You have darks circles and your face is a bit pale. This is payment for spilling coffee, and this is you tip, see you at school tomorrow" he said and left without turning back. I picked up the money he dropped. The tip is even more than what I earn here. I cleaned up and called nick to tell him that I was closing the cafe. I went back home, and ethan's room was dark, so I just assumed he was asleep. I collapsed on my bed and in less than a minute, sleep consumed me.

Aiden's pov:

I knew she was going to say no even before asking. It's kinda obvious she likes Ethan, even if she'd rather die than admit it. I just need to make sure that Ethan doesn't feel the same way. Not that I care, if he does, he'll just have to make way this time. I let go once, and am not about to do so for a second time.

Ethan's pov:

I waited for Sammy, but she didn't come back to her window, she was probably exhausted, she's had a major operation and she's still working. I got dressed as my mom constantly begged me to stay home. Seriously she's has turned into a total softy ever since I got back from the hospital. I got down and as expected, she was waiting.

"Ethan don't you think you should stay home this week, you can start next week" here we go again.

"come on mum, you said that last week, and if I stay home this week, you'll say the same thing next week." I said and she sighed.

"Ethan, you are not fully recovered, and I don't want you breaking down in school ".

" mom, don't you think you are overreacting? It's been three weeks since his surgery" Lola chipped in, handing me a cup of coffee. At least someone agrees with me.

"am a mom, am allowed to overreact. It's part of my job".

"I promise if I feel even a little bit uncomfortable, I drive back home immediately" I said and she smirked at me.

"who says you'll be driving? Your driver and bodyguards are waiting outside, they'll wait until you are done, and they'll drive you back home immediately. Understood? " she asked.
