Chapter 8: New character

Alden's POV

To: Love

Good morning sunshine. See you in a few.

I texted Maine. We've been really busy for my Dad's birthday. It's fun buying stuff with her.

*beep beep

My phone vibrated. It's her.

From: Love

Good morning. I love you. See you in a bit. Will meet someone first before seeing you.

Someone? Did she just text "someone"?

I immediately called her.

*ringing

She's not picking up. Why am I being so paranoid? Maybe it's just her friend, but..

Oh goodness! I'll be picking her up. Now.

To: Love

Will be there the soonest. 10mins.

I got up. Took a bath then left the house as fast as I can.

I'm trying to call her over and over again. She's not picking up. It's making me nervous. I arrived just in time.

Maine's POV

Why not make fun of him? Try to make him jealous. Haha!

To: Love

Good morning. I love you. See you in a bit. Will meet someone first before seeing you.

After texting him, I went downstairs to check my brother. He already left. Bummer!

I called Nico.

"You left so early. Where are you going?"

"I need to pick up, Dee. She's already at the airport. Is there something wrong?"

Dee. His girlfriend. She's weird. Just like me. I like her anyways.

"Nah! Im good. You guys take care."

Mom and Dad went to my Grandma's. Great. I'm all alone.

I prepared breakfast. While I'm at the kitchen, someone opened the door. I was really scared. I hid and tried to peek.

"What are you doing here?"

I was really surprised to see Alden. Here. This early.

"Looks good on you." Then kissed me.

I realized I'm still wearing my pajamas.

"For goodness sake! It's still early. Answer my question!"

He looked at me.

"You're meeting someone right? I'm coming with you. I've been trying to call you. Did you check your phone?" He asked.

"No. I was too busy making breakfast. I was joking around Mr. Richards Jr. Tried to make fun of you." I laughed really hard.

Alden's POV

Make me jealous? Nice. Effective.

I looked at her intently while she prepares breakfast and laughing at me.

"Is that so Miss Mendoza?" I stood up. She stopped laughing like she knows what's running inside my mind. I wanted to kiss and hug her.

I am slowly walking towards her and she starts giggling. I smiled. Hugged her.
