“Hey guys, Aiden" Grey greeted as he walked towards them. Aiden rolled his eyes.
“What do you want!" Aiden asked.
“Can't I talk to my friends anymore?" Dylan scoffed.
“Oh you mean the friends you abandoned because of a girl?" Grey glared at him.
“She's not just any girl, She's my girl" He looked intently at Aiden as he spoke. Aiden smirked at him.
“Okay" He said simply. Grey fumed silently.
“Anyway, I just came to inform you that after this vacation, you and I are going to cross paths quite a lot" They looked at him in confusion.
“What do you mean?" Aiden asked.
“Remember that project? Well we planned to do it in palm springs but because of this rule the principal laid down, we'll do it at your house but if you are uncomfortable with it, I can always take her to my house" Aiden smiled at him even though he was fuming inside.
“Be my guest" He said and walked away. Steven glared at Grey before following behind Aiden.
“All because of a girl" Dylan murmured disappointedly then he walked away.
“A girl that will be mine"....
“Aiden, can you please take us to the mall?" Andrea pleaded as she barged into his room. Aiden groaned. He looked outside his bedroom window and saw the sun wasn't even up yet.
“Let me sleep, Who wakes up so early on a Saturday anyways? isn't it too early for shopping?" He asked groggily.
“The earlier you go, the better things you see. Come on just take us there, you can leave right after" Andrea reasoned with him. He raised his head off the pillow.
“Us?" Andrea smirked at him.
“Yep... Claire, Rose and I" She said nonchalantly. Aiden grunted.
“Let me have my bath, I'll meet you downstairs" Andrea clapped happily.
“Yay!!! Don't be late" She said and ran towards Rose's room. Aiden sighed before getting up from bed and walking to the bathroom.
“Yo... Rose" Andrea whispered as she stood above her. Rose wiped her sleepy eyes and stared at Andrea in confusion.
“Why are you here so early in the morning?"
“We are going shopping, remember?" Rose almost yelled but then she remembered Liam was laying next to her. She gently stood up and dragged Andrea out of the room.
“The time hasn't even clocked seven, will the mall be open?" She asked Andrea incredulously.
“It's better to go early so we can get the new stuff" Andrea told her nonchalantly. Rose sighed.
“I'm not going" She said and proceeded to walk back into the room.
“I guess I'll have to tell Aiden we ain't going anymore" Rose froze in her steps. She slowly turned to Andrea.
“Aiden is coming with us?" Andrea nodded.
“He was supposed to drive us there but since you don't want to go I'll...."
“I'll go, I'll meet you downstairs" She interjected. Andrea smiled triumphantly.
“Good, don't be late" She smiled at her and walked away. Rose sighed and walked back into the room. She hurriedly bathed and stood in front of her closet, looking for what to wear.
“Are you going somewhere?" She heard Liam say from behind her. She turned around to smile at him.
“How was your sleep?"
“It was alright, although I have a slight headache" She looked at him worriedly before walking towards him.
“Does it hurt? Should I get you medicine?" Liam shook his head.
“I will soon go to hospital, they will know what to do there. Are you going somewhere?" He repeated. She sighed as she caressed his head.
“I'm going to the mall?" Liam looked at her in confusion.
“Isn't it too early for that?" Rose ruffled his hair.
“Don't worry about me, make sure to tell the doctor you are having headaches, okay?" Liam nodded at her. She smiled at him and walked back to the closet.
“Now it's time to pick an outfit"....
“Ughhh... Why are they taking so long?" Claire whined. They have been waiting for over forty five minutes now.
“Stop whining I'm here" Aiden announced as he climbed down the stairs. Andrea looked at him knowingly.
“Why are you dressed all nice?" She moved closer to him “And you are wearing perfume?" She wiggled her eyebrows at him. He grabbed her face and pushed her away from him.
“Don't I always dress nice?" Andrea shook her head. He rolled his eyes at her. He glanced behind her and saw Claire, he waved at her and she waved back.
“Where's Rose?"
“She's still dressing up apparently, this is the first time she has ever wasted so much time dressing up, I wonder why?" She said, looking at him. He cleared his throat and looked at the staircase. Just then, Rose came into view. Andrea frowned.
“After all the time you wasted, you got dressed in sweats?" She asked in disbelief. Rose shrugged.
“No one is going to see us anyway," Aiden smiled at her.
“As long as you are comfortable," Aiden said softly. Rose turned to glance at him. When she saw the way he was looking at her, she lowered her head to hide her blush.
“Okay that's enough, let's go" Andrea grabbed the car key from Aiden and walked out of the house with Claire behind her.
“So, are you being forced to go like I am?" Aiden asked playfully as they walked out of the house. Rose nodded her head.
“I told them I have enough clothes but they didn't listen" She complained. Aiden chuckled as he ruffled her hair.
“You're Cute" He murmured. Rose could feel the blush rising up her cheeks.
“Are you guys going to stand there and kiss or should we get going?" Andrea yelled. Rose quickly ran towards the car. Aiden smiled and walked behind her.
“Oh, Rose, you take shotgun, I'll stay with Claire in the back seat" Andrea already shut the door before Rose could protest. Rose looked at at Aiden and saw that he was already looking at her. He smiled and motioned for her to get in. She held her breath as she passed him to get to the other side but she still noticed his scent.
“God," She chanted in her head.
