Chapter Thirty Nine.

To say I was jittery about tonight would be an understatement; Aiden had said he'd pick me up - from my room - at 6:30 and I had enlisted the help of Carla as I had no idea what to wear.

"You two are so cute! I bugged him for details on the date but he said he didn't trust me not to tell you... but I know he's asked the boys to help him. How sexist right, he trusts them but not me." Carla fumed while going through my closet.

"Even Nathan won't tell me anything and I know he helped them. What happened to twins before... other none twin siblings eh?"

"I'll tell you everything Carla, as soon as I know myself." I laughed and managed to get her to join in.

"Well, all I know is Aiden has asked everyone if they can go out tonight so it must be something here. Oh listen to this though, I almost got caught eavesdropping but it's just too funny not to tell you." She emerged with a red wrap dress, with tiny little white pock-a-dots covering the entire thing, it frilled at the edge of the skirt and the sleeves seemed to cover past the elbow.

As I tried it on, she turned around and continued her story.

"So I heard dad giving Aiden a lecture on being safe, and treating you right and not rushing you. He was like 'if you touch her, and she doesn't want you to, I will disown you' I wasn't in the room but I could just feel how embarrassed Aidy was. He was stuttering saying he wasn't planning anything like that. 'It's our first date for Christ sake.' I felt bad for him but also I loved it. Okay, I'm turning around now."

I imagined my face was as red as the dress right now. I couldn't believe Carla had overheard her dad talking to Aiden, and worse her telling me about it. How humiliating that the man looking after me and letting me live in his house is protecting my none existent virtue.

"You look so cute in that dress, it's perfect... now you just have to try to cool your face down." Carla laughs.

Ignoring her I make my way to the full length mirror to see for myself.

It was a nice summer dress, it was casual enough which I was glad about, not wanting to look like I'd tried too hard, but seemed like a datey dress as well as not going over the top.

"You're good at this Carla." I praised, hoping we could forget the past conversation.

She beams proudly and offers to help with my make up, when 6:15 rolls by I'm ready and Carla waves goodbye.

Everyone had made plans to be scarce before my 'date' picked me up, so I was confident that when Aiden knocked on my door at 6:30 sharp it was just the two of us for the next few hours.

Stepping into my sandals I make my way over to the door, let out a calming breath, smooth my dress down and open it.

Aiden looked... I can't help but eye him up and down in his dark wash jeans and blue button down shirt making his eyes pop. The top two buttons have been left open and he's rolled the sleeves up showcasing his strong forearms.

While I'd been eyeing him he had been doing the same thing, and when I finally get back to his face I could clearly see his approval of his sisters fashion help.

"You look amazing Alex, so beautiful." He whispers still sweeping his gaze over my face and body, I shiver pleasantly and feel my cheeks warm at his compliment.

"You don't look too bad yourself."

He grins at me showing his perfect white teeth.

"Only the best for you mi lady." He bows and extends his arm for me to loop mine through.
