Author: Drifting Life
Aiden's POV

Keith waved to me.

"You alright?"

"I'm fine," I replied.

Mandy ran up to me, glancing tentatively at Bridget then back at me. She then lowered her head and asked, "Is that your girlfriend?"

"My ex-girlfriend."

"Was she trying to get back together with you?"

"Yeah."

Mandy swallowed the rest of her words and rubbed her hands together in a sheepish manner.

I noticed and said, "If we really got back together, then I wouldn't have referred to her as my ex-girlfriend just now."

    Aiden's POVKeith waved to me."You alright?""I'm fine," I replied.Mandy ran up to me, glancing tentatively at Bridget then back at me. She then lowered her head and asked, "Is that your girlfriend?""My ex-girlfriend.""Was she trying to get back together with you?""Yeah."Mandy swallowed the rest of her words and rubbed her hands together in a sheepish manner.I noticed and said, "If we really got back together, then I wouldn't have referred to her as my ex-girlfriend just now."Mandy cheered up almost instantly, her footsteps turning lighter as we went back to the table. "Well then, if you have any questions or anything you don't understand about work, feel free to ask me anytime. I promise that I will tell you everything that I know!"I nodded, spotting Bridget still standing in the same corner in my peripheral vision. Her shoulders sagged, and she looked like all of the energy had just been drained out of her.…A few days passed, and Bridget didn't come looking fo

  • She Remembers Everyone's Order, Except Mine   Chapter 8

    Aiden's POVI quickly stopped Keith."It's fine. That woman out there is looking for me," I said, leaving the table and walking out of the restaurant.While walking toward Bridget, she was still glaring daggers at Mandy through the window. I called out to her, and she finally walked over to me with a dark look on her face.I led her to a corner."You broke up with me because of her, didn't you?"I scratched my nails against my palm and sighed helplessly."Do you still not understand why I broke up with you in the first place, Bridget Ellison?"She looked like she hadn't dressed up in a long while. Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked like she hadn't slept well in ages.When she heard my question, she lowered her head and stared at her feet. Her voice was hoarse as she replied, "I remember now. You're really allergic to peaches. And I still gave you a peach frappe the other day. You would've had to be hospitalized if you actually drank it."Daryl th

    Third-Person POVIt hadn't even crossed Bridget's mind that she could have just bought something else. She was just too lazy to think of it.Sarah had to go back to work, and Bridget was politely asked to leave.It was still pouring outside, even harder than before, and it blurred Bridget's vision.She recalled the photos that she and Aiden had taken together in their graduation gowns that Aiden still used as his phone screen wallpaper. She suddenly remembered about the graduation gowns.They hadn't been the rentals. She'd actually bought replicas of the exact graduation gowns because she promised Aiden that they would wear them again for their wedding photos one day.But the gowns… She'd already thrown away the box that had been holding the gowns she'd bought.There seemed to be something else in the box too, and she finally remembered what they were. The box contained photos of them in college, their graduation photos together, the graduation gown replica, anniversary gifts to

  • She Remembers Everyone's Order, Except Mine   Chapter 6

    Third-Person POVDaryl was still apologizing hysterically on the phone while Bridget was frantically pressing on the elevator buttons."Did Aiden really leave? Was it all because of me? I'm sorry, it was my fault! I never should have bought the peach mille-feuille for him, or that peach frappe either! It's all my fault…"I don't have any reason to continue living anymore. I don't have the courage to live anymore. I should just go and kill myself now!"Daryl used to always be the sunshine of the group, and he would never say anything like this or even joke about it. So, the first thing on Bridget's mind when she finally got down to the ground floor wasn't to go after Aiden.Instead, she drove all the way to Daryl's place, worried sick that he would actually try and do something foolish.After settling his emotions, she stayed with him until dawn broke, just to make sure that he was really alright.When she finally left, Daryl held on to her hand and asked, "Bridget, is Aiden real

    Aiden's POVThen, I got into the elevator and went down.It was a dark and still night as I walked out of the apartment complex. My Uber driver helped me put my suitcase in the trunk."Did you leave anything behind? This is a late-night flight you're catching, and it's going to be hard for you to come back for anything you might have left behind."I got into the back seat and said, "No. Whatever I left behind, I don't want it anymore. Let's go."The Uber then drove out of the neighborhood. Half an hour later, just as I was about to reach the airport, Bridget finally called."Are you throwing another one of your temper tantrums again? What did you mean by saying you weren't coming back?"And what did you mean by wanting to break up with me? You're just going back to your hometown for a few days, aren't you?"I looked at the quiet streets and trees whizzing past outside the window.I'd lived in this city for seven years ever since my freshman year, and every inch of this place w

    Aiden's POVBridget, standing behind me, froze at once."Since when?""Since birth."She then raised her voice at me and spoke sharply. "Then why didn't you say so earlier? Don't you know that Daryl purposely bought this cake for you? And now you've gone and wasted his good intentions!"I turned around and saw her holding the cake and a fork in her hands. My face was dark, and she could immediately tell that I was annoyed, so she softened her tone with me. However, her words were still condescending toward me, and she sounded helpless as she said, "Fine, fine. We won't buy anything peach-related for you anymore next time. Are you happy now?"She then sighed long and hard afterward, as if she were the one being charitable to me and I should be thankful to her for her compromise and know when to stop.From the very start, she still thought that I was simply throwing a temper tantrum and that things would all blow over if she just played along with me this once.I simply hummed
