Saving Scarlett

Chapter 5

Scarlett's POV

It was 5:30 and I was sitting on the beach waiting for Aiden to show up. When I first saw him at the diner, I felt this weird pull to him so I asked to waitress his table. When he started flirting with me, I flirted right back, which isn't something I normally do. He flirted about taking me in a date, so on his bill, I told him to meet me here at 5:15, but I'm not sure he was serious.

Just as I was about to leave, I saw a tall figure walking towards me. I instantly recognized him as Aiden, with his black hair, and striking, emerald green eyes. He was dressed in basketball shorts, and a t-shirt, but he looked very sexy.

"Hey" He said

"Hey" I responded coldly

"What's wrong?" He asked, a hint of what seemed like worry in his tone

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe the fact that you are fifteen minutes late. I specifically told you 5:15. I have somewhere to be at eight, but I have to go home and get ready at seven, which means we now only have an hour and a half. But, don't worry, I wasn't just sitting here for fifteen minutes wondering if you were planning on showing up or not. Now, I know we just met, and it seems like I am overreacting, but last time someone was, late, it didn't end too well. Not to mention the fact that I am on a tight schedule. But, I'm totally fine, and nothing is wrong, so don't worry" I said exasperated, beginning to walk away.

I barely took two steps when Aiden reached out and grabbed my arm. As cliche as it sounds, aiden felt tingles running up my arms, and I guess Aiden could feel them too, because he pulled me into a big hug. My face came into contact with his very large, muscular chest. He was probably 6'4" and I was only 5'1". Aiden had and amazing smell, he smelled woodsy and spicy, and minty, and just so amazing. The second he pulled me into the hug, he breathed in, and relaxed instantly. It seemed like I calmed him down.

"I'm so sorry for upsetting you. Please forgive me" Aiden said, somewhat desperately.

"Okay, since you asked so nicely" I responded. He released my from the hug, and grabbed my hand, intertwining our fingers. We left our shoes where we stood, and walked along the water. We chatted about anything and everything. Conversation flowed so naturally between us, it felt like I had known him my whole life.

By the end of the night, I learned that he hated olives, loud chewing, and toasters. When he was little, he blew up the toaster, so now he doesn't use them. I learned that he likes Ed Sheeran, football, and running. He absolutely loves wolves. He knows that I am terrified if chickens, garbage trucks, falling and failing. I feel like Aiden and I have some sort connection. By the end of the nigh I wasn't ready to say goodbye, but I had to get to work.

"When do I get to see you?" Aiden asked pulling me into a hug

"I don't know" I replied "Come to to diner tomorrow between nine and two. I will be working then" I replied

"Okay" Aiden said, and kissed me on my forehead

When I got home, I made sure to tuck in Maverick before I had to leave.

"So, how was your date?" My sister Tori asked

"It was good. Aiden was really sweet and drool worthy, but I don't know if I can put myself back out there, and put my heart on the line. I replied

"Whatever you choose, just remember, everything happens for a reason. Fate comes, and you don't have a choice. People say that you can change your fate and lead it in another direction. but NEVER change it. Things can be taken from you in a second, so never take anything for granted. You can't control fate. Just let whatever happens, happen."
