OLIVIA

I keep my gaze on Aiden and the girl walking towards us.

Aiden's grin stretches across his face, the corners of his eyes crinkling. The girl has a smile on her face too, and her cheeks are dotted with tiny dimples. Though her smile is not as wide as Aiden's, I can still see the excitement in her face.

I sit there, observing the two of them. I swallow hard as the girl reaches us. It's as if she doesn't even realize that I am standing there. I watch as she wraps her arms around Aiden. He returns the embrace, pulling her closer to him. They stand there, embracing for what feels like an eternity, and I remain frozen in place, staring at them like a dummy.

Even when they pull apart from the kiss, they seem not to realize I am there including Aiden, who brought me to this club. They keep talking. I do my best to ignore the fact that they're standing so close to each other, with Aiden's arm wrapped around her waist.

I can't stand this any longer. It is stupid, me just sitting here
