Chapter 21

It's fate and destiny

Aiden's POV

We stayed at the beach for the rest of the afternoon until the sun started setting. The sky was showing a beautiful array of colours and I couldn't tear my eyes away from the more magnificent sight right next to me. He had me wrapped in his arms after I complained I was cold. So right now, I was snuggled up to him and completely satisfied.  

"Can we go get some ice cream?" I asked whilst swatting his hand away from my hair. He was putting sand in my hair on purpose to annoy me. I grumbled at him and he removed his hand smirking at me.

"Sure let's go!" he said and stood up pulling me up with him. I stumbled onto him as he righted me. I took the opportunity to hug him and he returned it. He held onto my hand and we walked over to the ice cream shop. It was pretty empty with only a few customers since it was getting late.

I excitedly leaned against the counter, looking wide-eyed at all the different varieties. When it came to ice cream i was like a little kid. I looked back behind me to see Xavier staring at me with an amused look. "Come on!" I said calling him over. He walked over to me, sliding his arms around my waist and placing his head on my shoulder. I turned and gave him a quick kiss. "Make your choice, Aiden" he told me, whispering it into my ear.

I focused back on my ice cream choice, trying to ignore his hands on my body and his lips so close to me. We were in a public place and he was doing this? I was burning with embarrassment, but I wanted, no needed ice cream. I had to endure this just a little longer then I will take my revenge on him.

The worker of the shop seemed unfazed by us and just scooped my ice cream into a cone. I finally came to the conclusion of getting both cookies and cream and rocky road mixed together,my favourite. The guy passed the cone over to me and I took it from him. Xavier unwrapped his arms from me and quickly decided to get plain vanilla cone. He grabbed his cone and I took the chance to pay for the both of us. He gave me a look but I just smiled at him, making him smile.

We held hands and walked out onto beach front. I sat down on the sand pulling him down with me. "Why did you pick vanilla, there was so many other flavours?" I asked him curiously.

He licked his cone and faced me. "It reminds me of your milky white skin" he said stroking his hand up my thigh. I shivered and jumped away from him. He had a smirk on his face and he let a chuckle spill out of him. "I'm just kidding, I just haven't really eaten any other flavour than vanilla, so yeah" he told me, still smiling like an idiot.

I huffed, embarrassed that I got startled from his touch. Then it settled what he had just admitted, "You have got to be kidding me, only vanilla!" I cried, moving closer to him. I sat down on his lap, with an evil glint in my eye. I innocently licked my ice cream, whilst really plotting how I was going to get him to try a new type of ice cream. He eyed me carefully wary about what i would do. I got comfortable in his lap and moving closer making him fall back onto the sand. I leaned down and took a small bite out of ice cream and kissed him.

He kissed back almost instantly and I let him taste the ice cream before pulling back. He was grinning up at me and he licked his lips. I took another bite and descended down on him again.  "Did you like the taste of that?" I asked cheekily adding in a sly wink. 

He smirked at me, not answering my question. He took my hand and then ran off with my ice cream in his clutches. I gapped, he must have liked it a little too much. He had ditched his own cone in the sand and I picked it up, inspecting all of the sand grains it had gathered. I tossed it in the bin and chased after him at full speed. This was my favourite combination and he was not going to get away with stealing my ice cream that easily. Plus it was the first time I had eaten it in a long time.

He was laughing and I was too. When I finally caught up to him, I glared at him and tackled him to the ground. "That is my favourite" I told him pouting. He held the ice cream towards me and I leaned in and licked up the side of it. I watched him as I licked it and he blushed bright red. Serves him right for stealing it. Revenge is sweet; like ice cream. I smiled. 

We sat down next to each other. The sky showed a dark light, the moon was rising and shining bright. The stars were helping illuminate the sky and I was simply starstruck. "Want to go get dinner?" he asked. I grinned nodding and stood up. We walked towards the car quietly chatting about nothing in particular.

He started the car and sped off whilst I picked a radio station to listen to. I started humming and tapping my fingers to the beat. In no time at all we had arrived at our destination. He got out and opened my door for me, making me smile. We held hands and walked inside the restaurant. It was a romantic little place, decorated with flowers, pink and red and candles. I've got to admit, I loved it. Romance is really the way to my heart. 

He sat down opposite me at a small table. I reached over the table and held onto his hand, whilst I skimmed the menu. Our waiter arrived a few moments later, "Hi, can I take your order?" she asked. 

She glanced at our joined hands but made no judgement. "Um can I have the chicken caesar salad and the lasagne and also some red soda" I ordered.

"Sure and what would you like?" she asked looking at Xavier.

"I'll get a cookies and cream and rocky road milkshake for a drink" he said giving me a look. Was there such a thing as this on the menu? "For my food I'd like some sushi and some dumplings, thank you" he ordered.

"Alright, I'll be back here with your order very soon" she told us politely and walked towards another table.

"You're addicted to that flavour now, aren't you" I asked teasingly.

"Nope, I'm just addicted to you" he said smiling at me.

I froze, mouth agape was he trying to make me blush this much in one night.

I didn't get to reply as our drinks arrived. I drank it slowly, thinking about what he just said. Am I overanalysing it? I totally was, I always did this about every little thing.

I looked up at Xavier and he had already finished half of shake. I laughed and some of my drink spluttered out. He chuckled and grabbed a napkin. He leaned over the table and gently wiped the drink from my chin. I closed my eyes and sighed on the inside. I pecked him on the lips and stared down at my hands.

We haven't been going out for long but...I wanted him to be mine and only mine. I wanted to be in a relationship with him, a real one. Could I ask him? Would he say yes? I don't know what I would do if he rejected me. I think I would fall apart, way worse than before. He's not stringing me along right? I feel so insecure about this type of thing. Could he really love me someday?

Our food arrived and it interrupted my thoughts. The waitress placed my order in front of me and my eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Are you ok Aiden?" Xavier asked me. To be totally honest, I don't even know. I love him so much and to think that he might not return those feelings ever, that's not ok. Anyway, is he even gay?

"Do you like me?" I asked him timidly. I blushed when he started laughing. "What!" I cried at him, insecurity consuming me. 

"Of course I like you Aiden, how could you think otherwise?" he asked me. I breathed a sigh of relief. I don't know, I guess I never really had someone like him. He's someone that truly likes me and not using me for ulterior reasons like some of my previous relationships.

"I don't know, are you even gay, Xavier?" I asked truthfully, I had to know.

He blinked twice and looked at me intently, "Definitely gay, Aiden or I wouldn't be thinking about you all day and all night" he said honestly.

"Ok, I trust you...I just like you so much Xavier" I told him and dismissively started eating my food. I almost moaned at the taste of the food, this was absolutely delicious. Just truly amazing, I'm going back here again, no questions asked.

I finished my food in no time and we split the bill after not being able to decide on who was going to pay. We left the restaurant and hopped into the car. When he got to my house he made no move to leave. We stayed in silence until he broke it.

"Did you have fun today, I tried to make it the best date you've ever been on, but I guess it got kinda ruined...I'm sorry Aiden, I really do like you a lot, I know I've let you down before but I won't do it again, I need you and I want you here with me" he confessed to me pouring his heart out to me.

I couldn't help but smile hearing a speech like that. My walls that I've put up were faltering. "Today was awesome Xavier, you don't have to worry I'm not going anywhere" I admitted to him.

"Will you be mine?" he asked blushing. I put my hand on top of his and pulled him into a hug.

"I've been waiting to hear that all day" I whispered, "I would love to" I said answering him.

He lifted my chin up for a kiss and I melted into it. We kissed for a few more minutes before we were once again interrupted my Sienna, she was irritatingly flicking the lights on and off. I glared at her through the window and she shrugged smirking.

I opened the door and shouted at her, "Go away Sienna!" she shot me a wink and walked away.

I looked back at Xavier and he was smirking too, "What's with everyone smirking today?" I asked groaning.

He looked at me and shrugged, "You're just so fun to tease" he said, "I'm kidding!" he said after I shot him a glare. I approached him and started tickling him like crazy. He automatically started reacting and laughing like a maniac.

"Stop, s-stop please please Aiden, I give,  I give, I beg you" he said between splutters and laughter. He was struggling to breathe so I stopped but not before he had already accidently pressed the horn numerous times. We were in a compromising position and my parents and my sister were watching me.

Once he gathered his breath, I kissed him once last time on the lips before getting off of his body. "I have to go, they're all watching" I told him sheepishly. I glanced back at my sister watching through the window. They were so annoying.

"Ok Aiden, bye I'll see you at school" he brought me in for a hug and he slipped his hands in my back pockets pulling me closer.

"I'll miss you" 

"I'll miss you too"

I let go of him and went to open the door. I turned back to look at Xavier and he was blushing like mad. In his hand was a package, the one that Sienna gave me before. Realisation dawned on me and I covered my face as I blushed as red as he was.

"It's not what you think, I swear, Sienna gave it to me, I-I don't want to do it with you, wait I mean I do, but I...not now, if you're not ready I mean, I'm just rambling, sorry I-I'm going to kill Sienna for this" I ran out of breath and laughed nervously.

"It's fine Aiden, don't worry, I was just surprised to find it, I want to do it with you too, so don't think I don't want to but we should wait a while, we just got together after all and don't hurt Sienna too bad she's my friend too" he said and smiled at me.

He said he wanted to do it me...I mean I agree and everything that we should wait a while. I got out of the car and took one last look at him before giving him a small wave and walked towards the front door. It was like I was in some sort of trance and everything was finally working out after everything that had happened between us.

I glared at my parents who had excitement bubbling in their eyes. I groaned loudly and raced up to my room before they could grill me with questions. They were way too happy about this, just because it was my first real relationship it doesn't meant they have to be like this. I do appreciate that they care about me but this was seriously just embarrassing. Watching me with him, it makes me feel pretty uncomfortable.

But after today has ended I can say that, he's mine now and we are together. He was my boyfriend and I was his. I never thought it would come to this point, the point where everything was absolutely perfect and everything bad ceased to exist.

I guess I deserved this after everything. The happy ending that I've always wanted with Xavier, a boy I absolutely adore. This, what I'm feeling right now just cannot be described. My heart is beating fast and it's hard to breathe. It's like I'm finally happy, truly happy.

 This is the best feeling I've ever felt and no matter what stands in the way we'll always find a way past it because whatever is shot at us; fate or destiny. I'll know that me and Xavier, we're meant to be.
