EDEN ABRELL
I woke up remembering last nights events and sighed.
That shouldn't have happened.
I couldn't fall for him. It would crush Gracie. It would break Madeline's heart.
As I sat on the living room couch in Gracie's house, I stared at my phone, my thumb hovering over my Aunts contact. I sighed, tapping on her contact and tapping the call button, pressing my phone to my ear.
"Gorgeous," Ivana said once she answered.
"Hey, Ivana," I sighed, closing my eyes and rubbing my forehead with my free hand.
"Eden, what's wrong?" She asked in a soft concerned voice.
"I need to talk to you." I rested my hand on my fist. "It's kind of important."
I heard shuffling in the background, "Okay, shoot gorgeous."
"We had another moment. It shouldn't have happened but it did," I blurted, quickly putting my hand over my mouth with a gasp.
"What kind of moment?" She asked me.
"We kinda, sort of, not really, kissed," I told my aunt.
I heard her gasp and squeal, "Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh, this is big. This is really big. I was right." She giggled. "I knew it."
I giggled but stopped, realising the severity of the situation. "Why are so excited right now? This isn't good. This is really bad."
She sighed and I could just see her roll her eyes. "So? It doesn't make it any more right than it was before." She said. "Did you stop him?"
"Obviously," I sighed, picking at my fingernails.
"You still wanted it to happen. And by the sound of it, he wants it to happen too." My aunt's comforting, soft voice spoke. "No matter how much to try and stop it, you'll still want it. And that's okay."
"No, it isn't. It's not okay. If this goes any further, I'd be asking him to choose between me and his family. And that is so, so selfish."
"It's okay to be selfish sometimes, Eden." She said.
"Not this selfish. Being this selfish will ruin a family." I let out a shaky breath after I spoke.
Ivana's reply was something that made me think. "Eden, what will it do to you, if you don't give it a chance?"
I heard shuffling behind me and I turned to see Huxley behind me, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, listening to every word I say.
His eyes spoke a secret admiration as he looked at me. Never once did he take his gorgeous eyes off of me. He just stood there, watching me and listening to me.
