Aileen is that perfect little rich girl. That's at least what everyone thinks. She started in Seattle, then Toronto, then back in Seattle again. Nothing has changed, right? That's what she thought but oh how she was wrong. By meeting o...
This night I slept. Peacefully like never before. Not a single thought of Andrew, I couldn't get Liam and this whole 'date' out of my head. Where was he taking me? I kept asking myself over and over, until I finally slept.
Today I woke up exited, curious but moreover, nervous. What would I wear? What would happen tonight? Why 7pm? Ugh! Maybe if I ask him where he is taking me it'll be easier to find an outfit? Yeup imma go with that idea.
Liam? I wrote and he answered very fast.
Yes?
Just wondering where we are going tonight? If you're still in that is..
What if he regrets it now? What if he doesn't want to go out with me anymore? Will he bail on me? My thoughts were all answered by a single text message from him.
Of fucking course I'm still in Ails. I have something special planned for today, but it's a surprise so don't even try ;)
But how will I know what to wear then? And I hate surprises!
Wear something casual Aileen. Damnit, you could wear a trash bag and still look stunning, so don't worry. Oh, and you're going to love this surprise.
Promise?
Promise. See you tonight ;)
After our text conversation, I decided that it would be a great idea to spend some time with my family today. We ate breakfast and lunch together, just me, my mom and my dad. When we finished lunch we just sat casually in the living room and talked. It's been too long since I just sat down and talked with someone, especially my parents. Now don't get me wrong, I love to hang out with the squad, but I've known them for almost two months and the only thing they do is to play weirdass games and eat hot wings. Wait. Almost two months... what day is it?! When the fuck did it become October 5th?! Okay so if I keep low profile this year everyone will forget about my birthday, right? Ugh!
My mom let me out of my thoughts when she decided to throw a bomb at me. "So, honey, where are you going on your date tonight?" my mom knew everything about how I feel towards Liam, but my dad on the other side... literally knows shit. "Date!? With who? Aileen!" here we go.... "Why didn't you tell me anything? Who is this guy? Is it Lucas?! I heard he's back baby and I know you're friends, but he was also And- your ex's friend so I just-" my dad started but if he keeps going, I'll never make it to my date. "DAD! Oh my gaud can you chill. It's not Lucas dad. Lucas is my best friend and that will stay that way! And FYI my date is with Liam!" my mom looked over at my dad and gave him the 'let her be' look and then glanced a look at me. "shouldn't you start to get ready? Is your date not at 7?" my mother asked me. I've still got time tho. It's only- HOLY SHIT IT'S 6.45PM! "Damnit!" I said and ran up the stairs to get to my room when I heard my mom yell "language". I rolled my eyes mentally and took out the outfit that I had been thinking of the whole day. A black, tight skirt that goes just until under my knee and a baggy cream colored sweater over it. Not too dressy but not too casual. I curled my hair pretty fast and put on some light makeup. "Honey there's a handsome guy down here asking for you!" my mom yelled. Shit he's here. I put on my pumps and walked down the stairs. As I walked down I got eye contact with Liam and he just starred at me with a speechless face and a mouth open with his jaw on the floor. "That bad?" I asked him. Was I really looking that bad? What if he regrets everything now? Uuggghhh! "Bad? Aileen you look absolutely perfect." He said and the turned to look at my parents. My mom had the 'aww' face on, but my dad was more like 'serial killer' ish. "I'm sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, for not asking for your approval to taking her on a date. I hope that there is no problem with it" Liam said very polite to my parents. My dads glance softened. "Bring her home by midnight and there will be no problem" Liam nodded and took me in for a hug. We said bye to my parents and went out to his car. After a 10 minute drive we arrived to a café. Not just any. It's the one we went to when we played '2 questions'. Hmm.
We went inside and was about to order. "What can I get you two?" the cashier asked but before I could order anything, Liam ordered for both of us and took me by surprise. "One Cortado, strong, and one iced coffee with caramel and mocha syrup" he actually remembered my order? Wow.
We got our coffees and went to sit at our table. "I can't believe that you actually remembered my order" I said and let out a chuckle. "Yea let's just say that I remember pretty good".
We talked and talked and got to know each other better. We talked about everything from how his parents died, and I swear that I tried not to cry, to when he found out about the cancer. I feel so sorry for this man. I can't even imagine how hard everything must be. We also talked about good stuff. We laughed and laughed, and one certain question had now been on my mind for too long. "Liam?" I started out. "Aileen?" he said mocking and lifted his eyebrows. "Why the hell do you laugh like SpongeBob?" I tried to hold in my laughter, but it was impossible. I burst out in laughter and he just looks amused at me. "Well you don't choose everything yourself now do you?" I kept on laughing for a bit but then excused myself to go to the bathroom. Note to myself; don't drink the whole damn thing and think that you wouldn't have to pee right after. I washed my hands, retouched my makeup and went out of the bathroom. And that's when I saw him. Standing over at the cashiers. My heart feels like it could stop at any minute now. Before I know, my legs are moving and I'm practically running over to Liam, trying to keep my tears in. "Aileen? What's wrong?" he asks with pure concern in his voice. "we have to go! Now! Please, just... take me out of here!" I struggled with my breathing and Liam immediately saw that. Before I could protest, as if I actually could, Liam carried me out of the coffee shop bridal style. He put me down in his car and waited till I had calmed down a little to ask. "What happened Ails?" he asked, confused and worried. One of the only times when I could read his face, was when he was worried or confused. After a moment I finally spoke out. "A-Andrew. He-he's here"
