The Tale of my Shrinking

Thirty Three

I pulled away from the kiss sort of shocked that he kissed me, and I let him. I didn't know what to say I just wiped my tears away from my face. "Alina I don't want you to go and I sure as hell don't want you to be with Herbert. He's a jerk." I still didn't know what to say, "At first I really did want you to leave. My dad always had you around and spent more time with you then he did with his own son, and I resented that and I blamed you instead of him." I thought he was done with the conversation as he was silent for a few seconds, "But since I've been around you, I haven't felt lonely and then I realized I actually enjoy your company now. Which I will be honest I don't usually like a lot of people, but you I don't mine your company." I was going to say something, but Aiden put his finger to silence me. "When I saw you with Herbert and knew you liked him. I was a little jealous and angry." I chose that moment to shut him up with a kiss.

"Lets go for a drive." I said while pulling Aiden by his hand. When we reached his car he opened the passenger door for me and then closed it when I was situated. "Let's drive up to the mountains to look at the view." I said, we drove in silence until we reached the mountain top. The view from the mountain top was beautiful the stars were nice and bright and the seeing the city lighted made it even more beautiful. I didn't want to ruin things between me and Aiden, I gave him the serum formula and it can now be created from my old colleagues. I turned and looked at Aiden who was staring at me, "Your beautiful, Alina." I laughed, "I didn't expect you to be so cheesy with you pickup lines." He leaned end and shut me up with a kiss. "It's called charm and I don't see you backing away from it." He was right and I enjoyed it.

We stayed up in the mountains and enjoying each others company. I felt safe with Aiden; growing up I never felt such comfort and safety from someone. We finally arrived at Herberts house and went to the room to go to bed we decided we would leave early in the morning so we can thank Herbert for letting us stay here.

The alarm awoke me up even though I didn't want to get, because was too early for me, but I knew Herbert had to leave for work. Aiden had his arm wrapped around me and he just looked so cute, but I had to wake him up. "Aiden wake up it's time to go." He started stirring from his sleep and his eyes opened wide, "Finally I don't want to see Herbert ever again." We both got dressed quickly and picked up our luggage. We made it down to the kitchen and I saw a note from Herbert, Don't bother saying goodbye after last night. Okay I get it I did get a little pissed off at him. "Who cares let's just go." Aiden said while he took my bag.

I knew I had to have a talk to Aiden about us, I really wanted to be around him, but I had to think about Mr. Madden. After Charles framed me I don't think I could ever see a Aiden once this is all over. "Aiden. We've both been avoiding this, but I did make a promise with you to leave." Aiden was driving, but he turned and look at me before staring at the road. "But I changed my mine so it doesn't count." He didn't seem to get the point, "I can't go back to my old life heck I'm sure your father would have me arrested the moment he saw me, let alone saw me with you." He was quiet and I didn't know if he was ignoring me, "Just give me time to fix it Alina."

We were back in town finally I sorted missed it even though I wasn't away that long. "Are you dropping me off at my place Aiden?" He nodded his head, "No." So we must be going to his house. We drove past the street he needed to go to his house, "Aiden where are we going?" I was never one for surprises, "Just wait." Like that's easy for me to do.

Realization started to hit me we were going to Mr. Madden house and I was starting to freak out a little, okay maybe a lot. "Aiden we can't go here, I can't see your father." Soon enough we were in his neighborhood and then after that we pulling up to the mansions gate. "I'm not going in Aiden and you won't make me." He parked and I was to focus trying to kill Aiden with his glares, that I didn't hear the tap on the window. Mr. Madden was tapping on my window and the only thing I could think to say or squeak out, "Hello."
