CHAPTER19
"Hello to you too stranger" Aiden said with amusement.
"Hey Aiden, stalker much aren't we?" I smirked, leaving the room for my friends to continue their bickering.
"Oh if this is about your number, I kind of have my ways" he laughed.
"Sure stalker. It's actually a good thing you called since I haven't spoken to you since like what last week." I continued.
"Ooh somebody's missing me already?. So um anyways I was thinking if we could go for lunch tomorrow evening or something. What do you think?" He asks as I remember something.
"Yes that will be very nice and better yet, you can come over to my engagement party on Saturday. That is, if you like of course" I suggested.
"What? Me? Go to a fake engagement party for free food. Well, hell yes!!" He announced.
"You need to stop being so loud about the fake part you know" I told him.
"Oh sorry, fingers crossed nobody's going to know about this and besides, you can't even try to deny it because I know a lot more than you think." He said with pride.
"Oh, you sure? Mr. stalker?" I teased.
"Yes but that's not for today. I guess you should go back to your friends. And erm one more thing, if you need help with acting, just say the word. You were really terrible and it was so obvious that you picked" he laughed.
"Fuck you Aiden" I say as I cut.
"Who's Aiden?" Melia asked as I entered the living room.
"Well, Aiden is, in fact, a friend I just met like a week ago. He's very nice, he's okay I guess. But don't worry, you'll meet him soon enough" he smiled.
"Hold your horses' girl. You do know that you can't have any sort of relationship with anyone" she reminded me.
"I know I know. I actually can't be in a relationship with someone like him. He's like me in so many ways. That'll be like me liking myself. The thought of being single but in a relationship is quite annoying" I groaned.
"I know honey, not being with a guy for three years is so hard. I really am feeling you" Brooke consoled me.
"On the bright side, since you guys are going to have a girls night soon. You can side the opportunity and take the risk for a night at least" Carter suggested.
"You know not everyone has lost their virginity here you know" I said pointing at myself.
"And I can't just have sex with some random guy I met at the club. Dude, I'm not you" I scoffed.
"That hurts my tiny little heart" Carter says with mock offence.
"Wait!. What do you guys mean by girl's night?" She asked, obviously confused.
"Oh, that's true. We are going to have a girls night out after the whole party and when Mr. lover boy- er Carter here goes on his trip" Brooke informed her as I facepalmed myself.
"Oh" was all she said.
"Hey, it will be good at least you can get over- you know" I whispered.
"Oh well that's fine I guess" she agreed.
"Well I am looking forward to it ladies" Brooke announces.
..........
"Hey, feisty" Ryan calls as I enter.
"Hey, loners friend" I greeted back.
"I wonder why Alex hates you so much" he mumbles.
"Oh I think that will be because he's a stuck up fool who doesn't know how to be human" I retorted.
"Oh my gosh, you are the absolute best. You know you remind me of someone" he laughs.
"Yeah? Who?" I question.
"No one. And Ryan, we are leaving now" Lexis interrupted looking pissed.
"No one. Ryan, we are leaving now" I mimicked in a very immature manner.
"You are so childish. I like it" Ryan said in acknowledgment.
"No you don't" Carter says hitting him.
"Yes I do, she's pretty cool" he cooed.
"Aww thank you. I do appreciate the love. Would you like an autograph" I asked with a smirk?
Ryan laughed as he and Carter walked to the door "Well goodbye feisty".
"Bye loner's friend" I called out as he closed the door.
..............
After about twenty minutes of watching Netflix, I heard the doorbell
"That must be my pizza".
I skipped downstairs and opened the door without asking who it was and I was greeted by a very amused Adrian
"Hi, stranger. I noticed that your fiancé was not around and I kind of needed company so I said why the hell not".
"Dude, you are officially a stalker. I'm sorry this is too much I can't see you again" I joked as I began closing the door. Man, he's expression was absolutely priceless.
"Whoa calm down, I just happened to be jogging when I saw him leave with his friend. I'm sorry I'll stop I promise" he panicked. Then I broke off laughing.
"Oh my gosh, your expression was so priceless. I can't believe I didn't get to take a picture" I wheezed from the laughter.
"That wasn't funny" he frowned.
"When are you never funny" I teased as he entered.
"Fuck you!" He said flipping me off.
After my pizza came, we began watching some movies. We snickered back and forth, we teased each other and overall it was a nice night.
"Well, I'm kind of tired" I announced.
"Same. I think it's time I go home" he agreed.
"Well, thanks for tonight again. I appreciate. I really do.
"Well glad to be at your service ma'am" he said.
"Don't push your luck stalker" I teased as I opened the door for him.
"Goodnight then. And please greet your fiancé for me" he smiled.
"Sure whatever" I said shutting the door.
Thinking of how much trouble I'll have to go climbing the stairs, I decided against it and flopped on the couch and drifted off.
I was awakened by the sound of my phone. Using my hands to trace it, I brought it to my ear without checking the name and I instantly regretted it.
"Hey cupcake, I kind of need your help" Lexis slurred ruining any chance of sleep.
