My Girl↝ Aidan Gallagher

Chapter 18

(Y/N POV)

I got real big plans.

"There's no way in heck you should answer that," Eden said, putting her hands up defensively.

I furrowed a brow, debating if I should listen to my newly donned best friend or that twitching feeling in my stomach.

"Why not," I said, "he's just asking! I'm sure that won't do any harm."

"But why is he asking? Didn't you tell him you were hanging out with us?"

"Well, Cameron did. And yeah, he should know."

"So why does he want to know where you are? Is he planning on crashing our picnic?"

I bit my lip, racking my brain for reasons on why he was so interested in my business. Then it occurred to me why I was even in Toronto.

"I'm his assistant," I mentioned, "maybe he needs me to pick something up for him?"

Eden nodded her head in agreement, but she didn't seem too keen on the idea. I wasn't sure why she was so against Aidan coming to hang out with us, but whatever happened between the cast and him wasn't my business.

I picked my phone back up and typed in a quick response. It wasn't long before I saw his typing bubbles appear.

Me

I'm with Eden. what's up?

Aidan

Just Eden?

Me

The others are on thier way back here

Aidan

Others?

Me

Yes others.

I could tell he wanted me to tell him who else I was with, but Eden's beeline at my phone was enough to withhold that information. He didn't have to know everything I was doing.

Aidan

Cool. who are the others?

The fact he asked the question directly made me sigh. I couldn't just ignore him, because I forgot to turn my read receipts off. He could tell I saw his message, and ignoring him on purpose was petty.

Me

Ethan, T.J, Blake, and Dante

As soon as I sent the message, I heard Eden grimace.

"Did I say something wrong," I asked, "why are you making that face?"

"You shouldn't have told him Dante was with you."

"Why not?"

"He knows Dante has a crush on you," she explained, "and I'm sure you can see how possesive Aidan can be."

I glowered my eyes and set my phone down in my lap.

"Aidan doesn't own me. I'm his assistant, not his side chick. So I can spend time with dante if I want to, and he can't do anything about it."

"He could fire you?"

"oH. That's just plain petty."

The music had faded into the background, and Eden and I engaged in a conversation about the rest of the cast. We weren't gossiping, because none of us said anything about rumors or personal information; I was just finding out more information on them.

"Why do you guys seem so angry," T.J said, walking up, "what happened?"

We turned our attention to the group that had just arrived, holding bags of food from various store around the area.

"We aren't angry," I explained, "we had a conversation earlier that put us off a tad bit."

"About what?"

If there was ever an example of perfect timing, this would be it. My ringer went off as loud as it could, letting everyone in the area know I had just received a text. They weren't being nosy, it was just human instinct to look at whoever's phone had rung out. Unfortunately it was mine.

Have fun.
