The Tale of my Shrinking

Twenty Three

The car ride was silent after we finished our ice cream. Aiden lifted me out of his pocket and I noticed that we were in his office. I remember this place, because Mr.Madden used to bring me to Aidens office whenever he needed something done and he would always make me a witness so there would not be a big argument, between the both of them. I will admit Mr. Madden could be tough on Aiden, but otherwise he was a great father. "What are we doing here Aiden?" I didn't like coming into the building, all it reminded me was what I used to have and would have to give up once this was all over. "Well, Alina I haven't been to the office much since I've been dealing with you." Well, wasn't he being harsh. "Do you need any help? Something that I can do to keep me busy." I heard the shuffle of the paperwork and Aiden looked down at me on his desk, "Fine you can be the calculator."

We finished the work very quickly or what seemed to be quicker for me. "I thought it was going to take much longer Alina, it seems what everyone says about you is true." I smiled, "What do they say about me?" Aiden got up and put the paperwork away in one of the cabinets, "Well, I'll just say the nice thing is that you're smart." My smiled faded I've heard that comment so many times, "And that's it?" I questioned. Aiden was keeping himself busy almost like he was avoiding looking at me, "Most of the other stuff is not that nice, and I don't think you want to hear the rest." Aiden started walking to his desk when we both heard the door opened and what seemed like a loud hyena yelling, "Aiden!" Me and Aiden both made eye contact and I went to hide behind a picture frame. Once, Aiden knew I was hiding and wouldn't be seen he walked away towards the voice. "Willa, what are you doing here?" I heard her giggle, "I'm here for you Aiden it's been awhile since we've last had fun."

Turns out that the kind of fun Willa was mentioning was the dirty, and sadly I was in the same room listening to them. This was beyond awkward, I slump down because it didn't seem like they were going to finish anytime soon. It irks me Willa had such a high pitched voice and all she did was yell and it hurts my ears. This was exactly what Mr. Madden would say that Aiden would always get distracted and I could see what he means. I mean he barely just finished some his work and now here he was having sex at the office.

When Aiden finally got rid of that slut, I was beyond pissed. Aiden could barely do his own work, he wasn't serious about this job. Everything had been handed to him on a golden platter. The only reason why he has a job was because of his father. "You ready to go?" Aiden asked me while straightening his tie, and all I did was glared at him and nodded my head. "Let me guess I did something wrong?" I just ignored him, I didn't want to further this conversation, and I think Aiden got the hint too.

"I can tell you're upset with what happened with Willa, but you have to trust me, I didn't invite her and sleeping with her was the only way to get rid of her." We were back in the car and I was still in Aidens pocket. "Nope I'm not mad more like disgusted to have to be in the same room." I heard Aiden chuckle, "You make it seem like your'e a virgin." There was an awkward silence, "Wait Alina you are a virgin." Aiden seemed to have a good laugh at this situation. "Shut up Aiden, I don't have to discuss this with you." He settled down and it seemed like it was all forgotten, "You didn't denied it."

When we walked into Aidens house I could smell the glorious smell of food. "What is that smell?" I asked, I could tell we were moving closer as the smell intensified, "I didn't know what type of food you liked, so I had my chef make some Italian for us." I smiled Aiden was being too nice to me, "And why would you do that for me?" Aiden set me down on the counter and he avoided looking at me, "I thought you needed not to worry for once, so I thought this would be a nice gesture." I for once had a genuine smile plastered on my face, "Did you forget the wine?" Aiden walked closer to the refrigerator and then returned with a bottle of wine, "How could I forget the most important essential."

We were sitting in the living room, both eating our food and we had the wine out. I got to choose the movie, so I chose some horror movie, which made Aiden very happy. The lights were off and we were watching it in the dark. Once I was done eating, I drank my wine thoroughly enjoying the movie. After, drinking enough, I started to feel the buzz, but it made me think. People always said horrible things about Aiden even in the news, and even his father gave him a tough time, but seeing him I could tell he had his issues. But, I knew Aiden would never hurt me all along he's been helping me and making sure I was safe.
