Mag-log inAiden POV As if I knew that this was going to turn into something more of an argument than both of us strength to understand each other I decided to act like a fool so that the both of us did not have any thing to worry about. I was also concerned about the fact that there was going to be a whole lot of listening party is that was not going to make this easy for me For him this was one of those things that he could readily deal with but for me it was something of a vulnerability point of view and I didn't think that I wanted to allow myself to be that lenient with anyone who decided to come in contact with me. I just wanted to become one of those people who did not have anything to worry about and for now it seemed as if there was going to be something difficult for us to handle and I was looking for ways to make sure that I did not remain in that space. The meeting began and even though I didn't think that it was going to yield anything seriously I was pleasantly surprised when
Devin POV "Wait," his commanding voice sent shivers through my spine and I found myself turning instinctively even though I had promised myself that I wanted absolutely nothing to do with this man."I didn't know that you were supposed to meet up with me. Why didn't you use your regular business name and why did you try to change things around? It is almost as if you're just trying to act crazy and I don't think I like it." Aiden responded to me. From what I was hearing right now it was almost as if he knew exactly who I was coming to meet and he was trying to act like he didn't and as much as that would have been romantic to a lot of people it was irritating to me. "I don't think you understand that I'm not in the mood for all of this shenanigans and if you have anything tangible to say you could go ahead and say it instead of trying to beat around the bush and act like everyone here is completely daft. I came here simply because somebody invited me and I have been speaking to thi
Aiden POV I should have realized a long time ago that if there was going to be someone who wanted to bring me out of this dates that I currently was it was only the person who decided that he didn't want anything that was going to stress me out and the only way that I could do that was to focus on him.My delay was the fact that I did not always allow myself to be able to get things to be done at the right time. "You better stop stressing anybody out, and just try to focus on what exactly needed to be done because it was not going to be easy to just sweep under the carpet. If someone is trying to get both of us together then we have to also be very careful so that we don't lose our minds in the process or allow anybody change the trajectory of our growth." I answered. I have been thinking about how long it was going to take to be able to find a better bridge that was not going to stress me out or that was not going to make things even become more harder to get in touch with. Whene
Devin POV I should never have been initiated in anything that was going to cause me much thoughts but bumping into him again was one of the most unexpected things that happened in my life and I was wondering how I went from just being quiet to align myself to be in tangled in something that was beyond my reasoning. I did not have what it took to be able to stand away for a long time but I knew that if I tried to conclude I was going to be met with a lot of rejections so there was no need for me to even attempt that or else I was going to be damned. "What a pleasant surprise after so many years!" He responded good-naturedly.This was not exactly the kind of reception I was hoping to get from him because it seemed as though he was still angry with me over something that had happened for a few months now and understandably so. I didn't also think that he was going to want to do anything that was going to concern me. In fact I was just very careful so that I did not get on his nerves
Aiden POV A few months later, I have gone to realize that they were a whole lot of things that I didn't understand about the man who wanted to be in my life and for some reason I had been fighting a lot of things that could have been come just because I was not being careful enough and all of that was about change because I was not going to allow that because a regular thing in our space. I took a complete break away from anything that reminded me of my past because I just wanted to be alone and I felt like it was the best way for me to be able to get my mind off all the stupidity that I was going through and right now I just wanted to relax. I wanted to sit somewhere else and allow myself to be drowned with only the most important things that was not going to give me more pressure than I was already facing and I realized that the only way to achieve that was to forget about my problems and everything that it reminded me of. There was only one person who could be able to get unde
Aiden POV I knew what it was about to happen in my very eyes and I decided to interrupt it before he made any stupid mistake and that was going to cost him a whole lot that he did not even understand. "I don't think that you would want to get involved with somebody who would not stick his neck out for you if this case was different than it currently is so I'm not going to let you put your best food forward and destroy yourself." I snapped. Dominique looked backwards as he was being LED out and smiled dangerously which are they the thing was good for the both of us because then it was going to cause a lot of confusion more than we thought that we could handle and this man in front of me refuse to see things from my own angle instead he wanted to make sure that he's will was fulfilled. "You better put your dog on a leash or else you're going to find out that there's even more from where this is coming from and I don't think you're ready for any of that. So you better be careful in t
DEVIN’S POV.He was already out by the time i closed the door, not a care in the fucking world, like he didn’t just rip my goddamn heart out six months ago and mail it back to me in pieces.Aiden was in my bed. tucked in like he never left. like he hadn’t ghosted me. like he hadn’t vanished and mad
DEVIN'S POV I kept scrolling. thumb twitching. couldn’t even focus on the screen, wasn’t reading shit, just moving like the motion alone would keep my head from splitting in half. Nothing helped. Everything buzzed. Not just my phone, not just the hallway lights above me flickering like they wer
AIDENI woke up slowly, not in a rushed or sharp way, but in a steady, dragging way that made every part of my body feel warm and weighed down against the mattress. For a moment I didn’t recognize where I was or how I ended up in this exact position. It took several seconds for everything to settle
DEVINS POV.I woke up too warm. I didn’t move. Just blinked slowly into the soft, golden haze leaking through the blinds. Everything smelled like sex and skin and Aiden—his cologne rubbed raw against my neck, his breath soft on my shoulder. I felt his arm draped over my waist like a fuckin' vice. P
