Chapter 20

Wake up, he likes you

Aiden's POV

I walked over to his house and we went to school together. We didn't have much conversation because we were both distracted, I was thinking about Alex. I had to talk to him today. We both had our best friends to worry about.

When we got there, the bell had just gone. I didn't see Alex so I just quickly went to my locker then to first class. I gave Xavier a quick kiss on the cheek and hurried to class. Alex wasn't in this class, but he was in the next one. I wanted to talk to him so when class was dismissed I raced over to my next lesson.

I caught up to Alex and walked next to him. "Alex, can we talk ?" I whispered, nudging him lightly.

"Can we talk at lunch, in private?" he asked. I nodded and sat down in my seat next to him.

All through class, I watched him. He was tense, I could tell. He kept fidgeting and looking at nothing. He was texting quite a bit and got no work done at all.

By the time lunch came, I was ready to hear his side of the story before I reached my conclusion on the situation. We walked towards the trees and I stood next to him against the tree. It was silent for a minute, before I broke the silence.

"What happened with Zac, this is your last chance to tell me Alex" I said warningly.

"Um...it's a really long story" he said quietly.

"We have the whole lunch, start from the beginning" I told him with a friendlier tone.

"Well, we became friends just like you and Xavier did" he started, "One day, I went over to his house to talk to him about you and Xavier..." he took a deep breath.

I just listened quietly, slowing taking in everything he was telling me. "One thing led to another and I kissed him" he said taking a shaky breath, "I regretted it as soon as I realised what I was doing and I left" he told me bowing his head.

"So that was the start of everything:all the awkwardness and avoiding right?" I asked.

"Yeah exactly, there's more" he started once again, "The next day, I told him to forget it ever happened because of Amelia" he said, " Yesterday was the first time I had been alone with him, he kissed me and I pushed him away" he ended and turned his face away, before I could read his emotions.

"Oh, so that's why he was crying" I said accidently out loud.

"He was crying?" he asked, "I know he likes me, but I didn't mean for him to get so upset " he said, eyes losing their light, overcome with guilt. 

I nodded and sighed. So this was the story. I didn't even know this was happening, Zac was going through the exact same thing as I was with Xavier. I guess I was too caught up in my own love life. But the difference is, Alex loves Amelia too much. They have history and have known each other forever.

I truly feel sorry for Zac, he's an amazing guy. He'll find someone else, a guy that will make his heart soar and his mind go crazy. He needs someone like that to love him. Just like Alex needs to be with Amelia, they all deserve to be happy.

"I know you don't like him like that, but please just try to be somewhat normal around him" I told him in a serious voice.

"Don't worry I can do that" he told me nodding and walked off with a small wave to find Amelia most likely.

I believed him, he was a good guy after all. Now that I know everything, I don't really know what to think. I walked over to Xavier and sat down on his lap. He looked at me and smiled. I kissed his forehead and held his hand.

I suddenly remembered the text I saw on my sister's phone yesterday. "Xavier, what are you planning on the weekend?" I asked.

"Nothing, I'm just taking Zac out to the city" he said with a tone that almost convinced me but I was suspicious.

Sienna then changed the topic to universities they are thinking of going to. I frowned at the thought, I still had a year of school left and without Xavier. It would be lonely, with Alex and Amelia always together. I cuddled into Xavier, "I don't want you to go" I whispered to him sadly.

"It's just one year, then you can come join me" he said confidently. He wrapped his arms around me tighter and I snuggled into him. He was both warm and comforting.

"Will we still be together, you won't find someone else?" I asked him nervously.

"Don't stress Aiden, you're mine and I'm yours" he told me kissing me on the lips.

"Forever" I said linking my pinky with his.

"Forever" he repeated, linking his own with mine.

As he finished, Alex came with Amelia and sat down next to us. I saw Zac quickly glance over at them before turning back to Sienna. At least he looked better than yesterday. "I talked to Alex, they are both at fault" I whispered to him and he nodded understandingly.

"What course do you want to do?" I asked him curiously, as we were on the topic of university.

"I haven't decided for sure, but I was thinking marine biology" he said smiling.

"I don't know 100% either, but maybe a teacher" I said, wondering in fact, what I wanted to do in the future. The future was really scary to think about. Since I loved everything in the present, I didn't want things to change even if they were for the better.

"You would be a great teacher" he told me and I grinned. It was great that he believed in me, it was nice to have someone just for yourself that was as amazing as he was.

"And you would be a great marine biologist" I told him honestly, and kissed his nose. I laughed at his reaction to my display of affection.

Lunchtime was soon over and I slept through my last two classes. When the last bell of the day went I was overjoyed. I couldn't wait for the weekend to start.

We met up outside near the car park. He pulled me up into a hug and I gladly cuddled into him. He put a finger on my chin and brought my lips to his. I smiled into the kiss before I scowled when Sienna came and pulled me away.

I waved to him and blew him a kiss. I put on my seatbelt and Sienna started the car. About 10 minutes later we got home. I looked across at her, she wasn't getting out of the car.

"Are you ok, sis?" I asked her concerned.

"I'm just worried about Zac, he's acting like it never happened, but I know he is really hurting" she said, sighing.

"I talked to Alex, I told him to act normal; I want them to sort it out properly, but it's like they have already decided to just avoid each other" I said, leaning back in my seat.

I didn't like how they were in a constant fight with each other, but it's not any of my business. I've done the most I can; I don't want to interfere, especially if they don't want people to. Maybe I can just help Zac find a guy.

We talked for a few more minutes about what to do about their situation before going inside. I was tired to say the least. I got some chocolate and took it up to my room. I opened the door and picked out some clothes for my shower. I showered quickly and when I came back into my room, I noticed something unfamiliar on my desk.

I picked it up and turned it over. It was a note.

I picked it up and I glanced down to the end first, it's from Xavier. I read it out loud.

"I know you're probably wondering why you have this, well I'll explain. Tomorrow, it's all going to be about you, I'm taking you out on our first date" it was sealed with his name and a kiss.

I could feel the excitement bubbling inside me, I knew I was excited for the weekend for a good reason. This was going to be amazing, a whole day with him, with no one else but us.

After that, I just hung around in my room all night, talking to my friends on various social networks. Before drifting off into a peaceful sleep, dreaming of what the weekend had to offer.

~

I woke up on Saturday morning, fully refreshed, with my full 8 hours sleep and for once I was actually excited to get out of bed. I hadn't got any details from him yet on the time and place, maybe later I'll get some indication. He's probably still sleeping.

I slowly got dressed into a semi casual outfit, with dark wash jeans and a light green button up shirt. I pulled on my favourite converse and styled my hair. I checked my phone to find one unread message. I clicked it open eagerly and read it out loud to myself

"Hii, im outside your house, I'll be waiting ;)" I broke into a smile, he must have gotten up early after all. I rushed to my window and looked out into the front garden. I gave him a little wave after spotting him outside. I picked up my phone and my wallet and quickly scribbled a note to my parents. I rushed out of the house a few seconds later, to the sight of Xavier right in front of me.

I ran up to him and hugged him, smiling widely. He held onto me and swung me around. "Hi Xavier" I said grinning.

"Hello cutie" he said teasing me. I blushed and hit his shoulder playfully. He laughed and put his hand in mine.

"What's the oh so amazing date you have planned" I asked shooting him a cheeky smile and a wink. He blushed and I was happy that I could make him embarassed, it was adorable.

"It's a secret I'll never tell" he said as I pouted at him, putting my hands on my hips.

"Come on, please" I gave him puppy dog eyes and went down on my knees, looking up at him.

He looked like he was faltering, "I guess I could give you a hint" my eyes lit up at the thought, "The hint is" he began and smirked, he pressed me against my car and sunk his head down to my level, "It's our first date".

I gapped at him, what kind of hint was that? I stomped my foot in annoyance, "That's nothing to do with where we're going" I cried at him frustrated. I huffed and turned away from his eyes that could change my mood into a happy one in an instant. He grabbed my chin and gave me a peck on the cheek.

I closed my eyes and pulled him closer. We kissed for a full few minutes before we were interrupted my sister. I pulled away from him reluctantly and peered behind Xavier at her.

"Have fun on your date, you'll enjoy it for sure" she said and threw me something that I caught. I hid it in my pocket before Xavier saw. I blushed furiously when I realised what it was. I glared at her and quickly got into the car before she did anything else. She waved wildly and I stuck my tongue out at her childishly.

Xavier started driving to where I don't know, since he won't tell me. Not very long later we arrived in the city. It was really busy and the weather was warm. I held onto his hand tightly as he wound us through the crowd. He stopped suddenly in front of the cinema and we walked inside.

"Which movie do you want to watch?" he asked me while looking at the choices himself.

"Now you see me" I said, pleading with him with my eyes, "I saw the trailer and it looked amazing"

"Great, I wanted to see that too" he walked over to the counter and paid for both of us much to my annoyance.

We sat at the very back and I pulled the arm rest up so we could cuddle. He pulled me into his chest and I lifted my head to kiss him. He kissed back and pushed me down on the seat. I brushed my hand down his back and squeezed his ass lightly.

We were brought back to the reality of us being in a public place when the loud music from the movie starting began playing. We sat down back into our seats innocently as if we weren't furiously making out just five seconds ago. I held his hand the whole movie and he played with my hair.

We didn't say much, just watched the movie and gladly because it was awesome. One of my favourites by far, I hope they make a sequel. "That was absolutely amazing Xavier" I told him smiling from the adrenaline the movie built within me.

"I know right, I loved it" he replied and pulled me in for a quick kiss. I blushed and followed him out of the cinema. It was just pass lunch so we brought some takeaway and ate it at the beach. It brought back memories of the last time I was there with him. We've come so far since then. He unwrapped my food for me and I ate it hungrily. We finished quite quickly with some small conversation here and there. It was getting pretty warm so we decided to have some fun.

He took off his shirt and I couldn't take my eyes off of him. He stared at me until I looked away blushing. "Like it?" he asked smirking as he gestured to his body. I nodded shyly and jumped up. I chased after him before we both crashed onto the sand. I kissed him on the lips and ran my fingers through his hair. We broke the kiss after a wave crashed onto us. We spluttered and coughed then we laughed at each other. We were soaked.

"This is fun, I love being with you" I told him in all honesty whilst I stood up brushing the sand off my body.

"I'm happy you do, this is going to be the most amazing date ever, just you wait" he said, linking his arm with mine.

"I believe you" and I love you. I wished I could have the courage to tell him that. But is it too early to know it's truly first love. The real question is, does he love me? I have to find out, before I fall any deeper in love with him. But am i crazy to love someone as perfect as him?
