HERE FOR HER

CHAPTER 31-Away From the City

Somehow, I always seem to come alive after midnight. For me, it feels like the whole world is mine. And right now, everything felt perfectly fine. It was as if nothing but good vibes surrounded me. I looked back onto the road in front of us slipping beneath the car as Aiden kept accelerating.

And with a sudden jerk, I fell back into the seat. Thank God we did put on our seat belts. A laugh escaped my lips as I realised we were on the highway, driving aimlessly, until, we find what we are really looking for, maybe its purpose or a new start, or maybe just a sky with unclouded stars.

I turned towards my side, looking out of the window. It was as if we were speeding through red and yellow lights and straight into paradise. 

"Aiden." I said.
"Just drive slow and Enjoy the scenery." I murmured.

He let out a soft chuckle. "Bella." He mimicked me.
"Drive fast and Join the scenery."

I smiled, biting my lip.
The scene was nothing but a fine painting of beautiful strokes of illuminating white and yellow colours which passed away as we speeded.

"Oh my God. I love late night drives." I said as I gasped. I pushed myself a bit forward unlike my previous position and turned to my side having a clear view. What only left was my face completely pasted on the window just to make it overly dramatic. But somehow I controlled the urge to do so.

"Really? how many late night drives have you taken?" He asked curiously.

"Actually... Just one or maybe two..and that too with my brothers." I replied as I glanced back at him.

"Hmm.."

"So.." I said as I looked for something to ask him.
"How many girls you've taken to a night drive?"

"Lemme count." He said as He started to count, mumbling numbers to his own self.

I gaped at him, shocked momentarily.
He glanced at me from the corner of his eyes and let out a soft chuckle.

"Just Sophie, I guess." He finally replied and I closed my mouth shut, shaking my head a bit.
I glanced up to him and he was enjoying the time, driving and occasionally biting his bottom lip.

I'm a firm believer that no one is perfect- good people do have some flaws and bad people have some good qualities too. And this is the theory I always use when I meet people. If a person is good looking and talented and over all perfect, there are imperfections in them too. A bad person-no matter how ill-reputed he/she may be, there is always a good quality in them which is generally not visible to the naked eye until you actually feel it.

But Aiden.. He is really nice, understanding and magically handsome. He is what every girl dreams to be with and every guy wants to be like. I don't know why, there's nothing bad about him. Nothing.
He's perfect.

I unintentionally laughed to my own self. As soon as Aiden looked at me in confusion, I quickly turned my head away.

"Hey.. Bella." He said.

I turned towards him with forehead furrowed in confusion.

"Who was your first crush?" He asked out of the blues and got me questioning myself what would have been the reason he asked me this question.

I thought for moment and went back in time. To the before when my thoughts weren't invaded by darkness and night fall. To the before when I didn't had to look back at every turn of my life, reminding myself who I really was and who I always will be. To the before when scratched knees felt far better than a broken heart. To the before when I was a kid.
