Girlfriend For Hire || maiden. (Under Editing)

XIV. - Weak -

Maine's heart started fluttering. She tried her best to remain clam but his sweet lips made that impossible.

"This is work Maine, don't fall for him." she whispered to herself over and over again, her voice echoed inside her mind over and over again like a scratched CD.

After a few more turns, Maine finally noticed Vanessa eyeing them like a hawk. She gulped and became even more nervous after Alden's got asked by Andrew.

 "Truth or Dare?"

 "Truth." he replied with a smug grin on his face.

 "Fine then, tell me your three favorite things about Maine."

 "Are you kidding me?" the young girl thought to herself. She gave Alden an anxious look and saw him gulp.

"Alright .... three things huh? First is she's hella kind ... like the kindest person you'll ever meet. Second, she's very funny without being mean. And third, she's very true to herself." Alden said with a slight smirk on his face. Maine smiled a bit, pleasantly surprised by the words he said.

Suddenly, Vanessa left the group. Maine's smile got bigger, she knew that would make her storm off the group. but something else happened that caught her off guard again, Alden stood up right away and ran after her.

"What the hell?"

--

"Vanessa!" he called out after successfully pushing himself against the sea of people blocking his way. After looking aorund for at least ten minutes, he finally saw her sitting inside her own car.

"Did you really have to bring her?" Vanessa asked.

"She's my girlfriend, you know that." Alden replied. 

"Can't you have fun without her?"

"Why are you even asking that?"

"I don't know." she replied in a frustrated tone. Seeing Vanessa like this made RJ drop all his walls. He suddenly became more than ready to put her out of misery and admit that he and Maine are just playing as a couple to make her jealous. Alden was about to come clean about everything, but then Riley came and ruined the moment.

 ---

 "Can I talk to you?" Andrew asked Maine after they were left alone. The young girl nodded and so she stood up and followed Andrew at the back of the house.

"You do know that Alden told me everything right?" he asked, wanting to make sure before he hit her with the truth.

 "I know."

 "Yes, that's why it's alright to be yourself. I know this is not your type of crowd."

 "How did you know?" Maine asked, surprised.

  "You are uncomfortable as hell back there."

 "I am that obvious huh?" Maine answered with a scowl on her face.

 "Yeah, you are. If you could blend with the walls I bet you would have."

 "So ... now that you know. What do you think of us?"

 "You and Alden?"

 "Yeah."

"At first I thought the idea was stupid. Because you know ... she is still my sister and all."

"What changed your mind?"

"I saw you. I saw how he treats you, how he looks at you. All of the things he's doing to you, he never got to do that with Vanessa. It only means he's improving."

"What do you exactly mean?"

"Vanessa's very independent, she likes doing things on her own. Alden on the other hand never really did care at all.  Effort is not something you'll see on Alden. but since you came, he finally showed that he can exert effort and do things for his girl."

 "That's a good thing?"

 "Yeah. It means you're changing him." he replied before adding "I think he kinda likes you."

 "What?" the young girl asked, starting to blush a bit. 

 "Just kidding." he answered right away, erasing the slight smile she has on her face.

 "I've been looking everywhere for you." the two then turn around and saw Alden looking at them.

"Who? Me?" Maine asked. 

"No, Obama. Of course you." he snapped.

"Are we going home?"

"Yes."

"What? Already?"

 ----

"Yes we are going home." the young guy replied, trying his bets to remain calm despite everything that he witnessed between Riley and Vanessa.

"Dude, is everything alright?" Andrew asked. 

"Yeah. I'm just sleepy." he replied.

"You've only been here for less than two hours!"

"I'm just tired, sorry."

"Alright then."

"Happy Birthday Andrew!" Maine greeted before she stood up from the chaira nd approached Alden.

"Thanks." he replied and then smiled at her.  

"Happy Birthday man , sorry .. I'll make it up to you soon I promise."

"That's okay." Andrew answered and then smiled at them. Alden and Maine then walked out of the Thompson's massive place and got on to his car.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked as soon as they both got inside the vehicle. Alden shook his head from side to side and told her that nothing's wrong.

 "Alden, tell me what's wrong."

 "Nothing."

 "I can tell there is something bothering you."

 "There is none, I'm just gonna bring you home."

 "You kn-"

 "Damn it Maine! I said there's nothing wrong! Now will you shut the fuck up?" 

His eyes widened after he realized what he just did. He unloaded all his frustrations to Maine, every single thing.

---

The young girl couldn't speak. She never saw Alden like this. Something must have really happened that caused him to tip over the 'pissed off' side.

"I'm sorry." Alden then uttered after a few minutes of nothing but silence.

"Fine. Just bring me home." she replied, not wanting to piss him off any longer. 

 A few minutes after, they reached her house.

"Is that Jake?" the young guy asked and then pointed at Maine's friend standing by his car right at the front of the Mendoza's residence. 

"Yes. I'm gonna go now. Goodnight."

"Wait!"

"What?" she asked.

"Thank you." he said and then smiled at her. Maine just smiled and got out of Alden's car.

"What are you doing here Jake?" she asked, finally willing herself to the fact that she can never get away from him.

"Hannah told me about you and Alden. But I wanna hear it straight from you , I wanna hear the truth."

"Oh."
