Aesthetic - Jaden Hossler

27.

Jaden woke up before Alice did, indicating how tired and exhausted she truly was.

He too was nervous because of the kiss. What if Alice didn't even like him and just kissed back. He could imagine that Alice would do that when she feels bad for somebody or wants to make somebody feel better.

But then again, she told him about her problems too, maybe she did actually like him. Alice started to stir in his arms when he started to massage her scalp.

"Good Afternoon, Milady."

"Huh?"

It was too early for Allie to understand what Jaden had said to her. Instead of sitting up, she turned around and closed her eyes again.

"Nope. Not today Chachi." Jaden pulled her back around and booped her nose as long as it was necessary.

Alice finally sat up, grumbling about how mean Jaden was.

"Oh, come on Alice, if I had let you sleep, you wouldn't be able to fall asleep tonight."

"I am not five years old Jaden."

"That's right, you can't fall asleep anyways."

----------------------

The both of them got dressed again and now sat awkwardly on Jaden's bed.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Did it mean something to you?"

"What do you think of me? You're not just any girl to me, Alice."

"But you said yesterday that you just got over Mads."

"Maddie and I haven't been together for nearly four months now. I think that's enough time."

"Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry."

"What do you think about it?"

"I think it's quite obvious that I liked it but I think we're moving a little fats don't you think?"

"Mhmm."

Alice smoothed out the Jacket that laid over her legs because she was back in her skirt.

"Jaden? What are we?"

"We're talking. No strangers, not just friends but not in a relationship."

"Yet?"

"Well at some point, eventually."

"Okay, so we're talking."

"Does that bother you?"

"No, not really."

They sat beside each other for a few more minutes until they decided to go downstairs and join the others.

----------------------

Everybody was doing their own thing. Anthony was live on twitch and Josh was live on Instagram while Mads and Nessa were talking with Kio and Quinnie on a couch.

Alice let go of Jaden's hand and skipped over to them, letting herself fall down between the boys so that she could look at the two girls.

Jaden strolled over to them in a slow manner, throwing his jacket on Alice's head.

"Why do you always forget a jacket?" It was a rhetorical question and he joined Griffin in the Kitchen.

Nessa noticed the lack of makeup on her face and nudged Mads to make her aware, it was a silent agreement not to say anything. Alice could get insecure quite quickly, and the fact that she was comfortable with sitting there without it meant a lot.
