Chapter 34

"What was that". Aurora glaredat Brandon from behind "What was what". Brandon asked faking innocence. "Let me hop to the front, slow down". Aurora said and roughed her way to the front seat". "You didn't let me get the last word in, if Paul didn't hear me he would think I didn't know what to say, imagine him having that pleasure for the entire weekend". " It's not that bad, Paul gets a good sleep the entire weekend while you get to toss to and fro on the bed". "I couldn't hate you more". "I know right, Ari is asleep?" "Yeah, I guess, did she say something while you guys were in". "In where?" "You know it took you guys a few minutes to come outside and we were waiting by the car". "She seemed disappointed in herself, and felt she should have also known you know and all that she blamed herself quite a lot". "I hope you managed to cheer her up". "Well, you were technically the one who did but the most important thing is I think she is fine now". "Well far from it actually, I bet she's going to toss around the bed all night, truth is I don't think this situation faults anyone if Arianna knew she would have gladly allowed Paul go home, she could even order a first class taxi to drop him off if you refused". "A first class taxi?" "There must be something like that a taxi service that is only for the high class, a maybach as a taxi or a Benz, just imagine". "Okay I sorta get, I'm just like y'all care for each other a whole lot". "Yeah, and Ari especially cares for Paul". "What do you mean". "I'm going to close my eyes for a bit". "Answer me". "Wait up I was saying something about faults when you cut me off, and Paul knows Ari to be as softhearted as I know her to be so he probably did not want her being worried that he missed something so important because of our outing". "And you the coolheaded one knew it was nobody's fault and the next line of actions was to get Paul home". "I think Paul was very jittery to get home so he was angry that Arianna had all her attention on something trivial when something that could really hurt him was concerned". "That is a sad story". "I'd hit you very hard if Arianna wasn't asleep". "I should thank Ari when she wakes". "Yeah you should I'm going to sleep". "Were you sad?" "About what, you blab too much big bro". "Arianna didn't care that she had actually accused and doubted you and all but was more focused on the fact that, she might have disappointed Paul". "I didn't care at first, it's normal for her to have thought we were hiding something, we damn were hiding something even though we had good intentions, but later it actually hit that all she actually cared was that Paul was disappointed". "So" "It didn't matter, it's Arianna afterall". Aurora said and shut her eye, an obvious message to Paul to shut his mouth up. "Good, don't fall asleep we'll be home soon". Arianna opened her eyes at this point, she hadn't meant to eavesdrop but she had no idea what to say to Paul, so she had kept mute, and while she was wondering what to do next, Aurora and Brandon had started to chat so she just listened. She had really totally ignored the hurt, Aurora could have possibly felt and had been more focused on fixing her image with Paul, she didn't want the guy she loved to think she cared less about him, but had in the process hurt her friend. "Ari especially cares for Paul". Aurora's words kept ringing in her head, did Aurora find out she likes Paul what's going on, 'its Arianna afterall' , what was with the vague expressions, Aurora has always been like this she sorts things out by herself and successfully hides it, either by not telling them at all or by saying things vaguely. Either ways she had hurt Aurora trying to please Paul, she had been angry in the first place cause Aurora was showing Paul so much concern and making her look bad , it felt like Aurora knew something and wasn't telling her but was rather using the opportunity to look like the better one to Paul, but it now seemed like Aurora had pure intentions she was the one who had been blinded by jealousy. "Girls get up we're home". Brandon announced interrupted her thoughts. "Arianna, we're here". Aurora said turning, although Ari quickly shut her eyes the fluttering of her eyelashes didn't pass Aurora's notice, just how long have she been awake or she never slept at all in the first instance. "We're home?" Arianna said faking a yawn "Yeah we are". Aurora said, climbing out and walking directly into the house without waiting for Arianna. It was getting to the height of it maybe they needed a confrontation afterall, how could she pretend to be asleep and eavesdrop on them, maybe they'd plan to kill her or what. Now it was all clearer Arianna must have thought it was her, that was hiding things from her or trying to look better to Paul that must have been the reason forbstge change of mood on their way to the park, so Ari feels I like Paul as well and that we would have to compete for him. "I'd better be wrong else hell might break loose and it wouldn't be my fault". Aurora said and entered into her room. "What's up with Aurora did you fight with her"? Mrs Salvatore asked Brandon who was still by the car with Arianna. "A fight? Maybe she's just tired, why'd you ask?" "There was no mom I'm back hug, I called out she didn't hear me, was busy mumbling to herself and you should have seen the way she slammed the door". "Ari, would go speak to her when she gets up".
