"Hey mum" I said as I got into the house to find my mum seated on the couch with a magazine in hand as usual. "Oh sweetie, you're back" She said with a smile as she folded the covers of the magazine together and placed it neatly on the stool beside her. "Yeah" I said tiredly and collapsed on the couch across her. "You must be hungry, I made pasta" She said and got up from the couch. "Oh great! I'm really starving" I said at the same time my stomach growled. "Come on and help me with the dishes" She said as she walked towards the kitchen. I also got up and followed her into the kitchen. After we were done dishing out the food on the dinning, we waited till my Dad joined us before we began to eat. "So, I see you and Aiden are back together huh" My mum started the conversation. She always wanna know what happens in my romantic life at all ti

"Dude!" Aiden scowled, making me laugh. "And I have the letters... I kept th.... " "Let's go Liv, we'll see you later James"Aiden said, dragging me along with him.  "What was that?" I pulled away from him once we were far off. "What?" He pretended not to know what I was talking about. "What was he talking about? Letters? What letters?" I asked curiously. "It's nothing, you know how James can be, he's just blabbing" He said calmly. "No he isn't. I could clearly see your reaction after he said those things. He's definitely not blabbing" I said loudly. "C'mon Liv, let's not discuss this right now" He begged. "Fine then. But just so you know, we ain't done yet" I threatened. I wasn't about to spoil our beautiful date or whatever name I'd call it. "Yes ma'am" He teased and I r

As soon as I got to my room, I slammed the door shut and made my way to the bed. I placed the box gently on my bed and went into my closet to take off my clothes, after which I had a hot bath in the tub. Once I was clean to my satisfaction, I got out of the tub and reached out for my towel hanging on the wall mounted towel rack. I wrapped the towel around my body and made my way back into the bedroom and then to the closet. I took out a pair of camisole and pink shorts which I put on immediately and left the closet. I blow-dried my wet hair and wore a bonnet over it after combing it.  I made my way back to the bed and sat down, I took the box from beside me and placed it gently on my lap. I was about opening it when I heard my mum's call. "Coming mum!" I yelled back and stood up immediately. I took the box along with me and placed it on my desk before making my way out of the room and down the hall,towards the stairs. I climbed down the

"Hey Nana" I said immediately I picked up the call. "Hello sweetie,are you home?" Came her cheerful voice from the other end. "Yeah,any problem?" I asked as it was rare to have Nana call me. "Can you come over, I'm feeling quite lonely and Aiden isn't home" She told me. "Aiden isn't home? Where did he go to?" I asked immediately. "I don't know dear,he got up this morning and left,he didn't tell me where he was going to" She said to me. "Oh" I said quietly. I haven't spoken to Aiden or seen him since that day at the lake. It's been four days now and I do miss him. "Can you come over?" She asked once she noticed my silence. "Yeah, I'll be with you shortly" I managed to say. "Oh thanks darling, I'm waiting" She said in excitement. "Okay Nana" I said and ended the call. I got up f

"Alex?" I said after taking a deep breath to collect my thoughts and make sure it's not a dream. "Can we talk please" He sounded different. "What for?" My anger rose immediately. "Please, I'm outside" He said calmly. "Outside where?" I rolled my eyes. "Your house" I almost laughed. "How much did you drink tonight Alex? We both know that I'm in New York" I stifled a laugh. "Come outside, I'm at your door" He said in a serious tone. "You're drunk Alex, I'm in New.... Hello?" I pulled the phone from my ear, only to find out that he had ended the call. Yup, still a jerk. I dropped the phone on the nightstand and lied down on the bed collecting my thoughts. Why did he just call me after all these weeks. I kept calling and texting him all this while but he never
