Aiden’s POV

I could still taste her lips on mine, and damn, I loved every second of it.

Nova shifted slightly, her eyes locked on mine like she couldn’t decide whether to pull away or kiss me again. I couldn’t help the smile that tugged at my lips. I didn’t know what this silence between us meant, but as her gaze searched mine, full of quiet uncertainty, something clicked into place.

I reached out, gently caressing her cheek, trying to say with that one touch what my words never could. I was never great with talking, especially when it came to someone I actually liked. But I knew this time, words mattered.

“I think I’m done figuring things out, Nova,” I said softly, my voice lower than I intended, almost cautious.

“What?” she asked, inching back just a bit.

I noticed the shift, but it didn’t shake me. I closed the space between us again, heart pounding.

“I think I know what this thing between us is,” I said, more confident now.

Her voice came out small. “What do you think it is

  • Nightmare turned love    Confidence

    Nova’s POVAiden and I spent the next few hours doing what we did best, acting like total idiots and loving every second of it. We played video games downstairs, teased each other endlessly, and yes… kissed way more than I’d ever admit out loud. By the time I stepped out of his house, it was almost 9 p.m.Great. I was officially doomed.“Are you sure you wanna go alone?” Aiden asked, leaning casually against the doorframe, grinning like this was all fun and games. “Because I’m pretty sure your brother’s gonna murder you.”“Oh, I’m sure,” I said with exaggerated seriousness. “If I walk in with you, I’ll be extra dead. This way, I might at least get the chance to spin a decent excuse.”He chuckled, leaning down to press a kiss against my forehead. “I’ll take your word for it, love. See you in school tomorrow, Nova.”I waved back at him, already rehearsing my fake alibi in my head. “Time to brace for impact,” I muttered under my breath as I opened my front door.“I’m home!” I called, my

  • Nightmare turned love    Perfect

    Nova’s POVMy heart was pounding so hard I was sure the neighbors could hear it. The moment I stepped into Aiden’s house and found it empty, I froze.Where was he? And why was the front door wide open?A hundred thoughts collided in my head, none of them comforting. I stepped deeper inside, every movement cautious, like I was the lead character in a horror movie who was about to make the classic bad decision.The house was too quiet.I crept toward the stairs, the floorboards creaking under my feet. Maybe it was my nerves, but even the silence felt louder than it should have been. Then, because life clearly had a thing for testing me, I heard it.A low groan.From upstairs.My heart dropped.“Aiden?” I called out, my voice shaky. No reply.I tried again, louder this time. Still nothing.So I did the one thing everyone in every horror movie is always warned against. I climbed the stairs.I didn’t care. If something was wrong, if Aiden was in trouble, I had to help him—even if I was pai

  • Nightmare turned love    Scheme

    Nova’s POVI had no idea when me and Eli finally crashed last night. All I knew was that my face hurt from laughing too much, and honestly? It was the best kind of ache. Seeing him smile, genuinely smile again felt like a tiny piece of the universe was finally in order. We talked about everything: Aiden, Ty, random nonsense… and yes, Eli has officially claimed the title of biggest shipper of Nova and Aiden. No contest.When I woke up, though? He was gone.“Where’d he run off to now?” I muttered as I stretched and dragged myself out of bed. After a quick shower and a lazy attempt to look human, I headed downstairs.“The lover girl lives!” Eli’s voice sang out before I even reached the dining room. Arnold chuckled in response.“Ha-ha. Hilarious,” I said, plopping into a chair and grabbing an apple. “When did you start waking up early?” I narrowed my eyes at Eli.“I heard your brother shuffling around and decided to check it out,” he replied casually.“I was shuffling,” Arnold said, sett

  • Nightmare turned love    Cheers

    Nova’s POVI was on cloud eleven by the time Aiden dropped me off. Honestly, I didn’t even feel like getting out of the car, but reality had other plans.Still, sitting there in front of my house with him made it feel real.I didn’t even know what I was thinking when I leaned in and gave him that tiny kiss before running inside,actually, scratch that. I wasn’t thinking at all. Aiden Cross was officially my boyfriend. What normal teenage girl could possibly stay calm after that? Definitely not me.Even if I’d seen this coming, it still felt unreal. It was either we’d make it official… or, well, let’s not even think about the “or.” None of that mattered now. What mattered was this—us.The second I closed the door behind me, I leaned against it, heart pounding like crazy.“Why are you breathing like you’re being chased?” Arnold asked, casually strolling toward me with his usual big-brother smirk. “What’d you do this time?”“Like I’d ever do anything,” I replied, peeling myself away from

  • Nightmare turned love    Focus

    Aiden’s POVI wasn’t sure how I managed to gather the confidence to ask Nova out.For days, I’d put it off. But then she told me what Judy had said to her, and I couldn’t shake the look in her eyes, even after she smiled again. It still bothered her, no matter how hard she tried to hide it.And I couldn’t let that stand.If anyone was going to prove Judy wrong, it had to be me.Commitment wasn’t exactly my strong point in past relationships, but this was different. Nova was different. For the first time in a long time, I wanted to be serious. I figured putting a title on what we had was the first step in proving it to her, and to myself.When I asked her to hang out while I dropped her off, I didn’t have anything planned. Even after she agreed, I was still blank. I wanted it to be special, but nothing over the top, Nova would only roll her eyes and think I wasn’t serious if I tried anything too flashy. And I couldn’t afford to mess this up.I had two days to figure it out, but the mor

  • Nightmare turned love    Getting the guy

    Nova's POV;Weekends were supposed to be about sleeping in and eating questionable meals without guilt. But apparently, my heart had other plans, plans that involved a certain Aiden Cross.I’d spent the last two days pretending to be completely unaffected. Totally normal. Totally fine. Except now, standing in front of my closet like I was about to go to war with every single piece of clothing I owned, I wasn’t fooling anyone.“Girl, you’ll look good in anything. Can you stop staring already?”I turned to find Eli leaning against my doorframe, his arms crossed and an amused smile plastered across his face.“Why are you even here?” I asked, though I couldn’t stop the smile tugging at my lips.He raised a brow. “Did you forget you called me, almost crying—because you didn’t know what to wear?”“Oh.”“Yeah. Oh,” he replied, smirking as he got up. “Now pick something out of what I laid on the bed before I change my mind. And hurry up, your Prince Charming will be here any second.”He wasn’
