Kat's pov. Never really over - by Kate perry. I'm losing my self-control Yeah, you're starting to trickle back in But I don't wanna fall down the rabbit hole Cross my heart, I won't do it again I tell myself, tell myself, tell myself, "Draw the line." And I do, I do But once in a while, I trip up, and I cross the line And I think of you. I do not know, but as I listened to the lyrics of the song playing on my phone, I didn't know when drops of tears started to fall from my eyes. Guess where I was? I was on the same bridge Aiden took me to that night where all this began. I know I should be at the wedding or something, but I can't even stand it. He said it was over, and why did Kate tell me it was never really over? Was it over for us? I had to go through memory lane. And I stopped on that particular night when he gave me hope. . . "I have nothing, Aiden. I have no parents, siblings, and I'm jobless, but Lila…she had all. She's rich, her father is a business partner,

I basked in the feeling of his soft kisses placed around my neck as 'Earned it by The Weekend' played in the background. His right hand snuck behind and up to my back as he unhooked my bra, while his left hand found another sensitive area and began very creative things and I gasped. He pinned me up to the wall and I grabbed his hair, moaning enthusiastically as his kisses worked like magic all over my body. I'd never felt this way before. It was strange, but I loved it. "Are you sure you want to do this?." He whispered huskily, he was trying to be respectful though it wasn't in his nature and I could see his internal battle over having his way with me in his eyes. I captured his lips immediately as a response to his question earlier, he slid down and pulled my blouse up over my head, and we started kissing again. I heard his breath hitch as he stared at my bare skin, with hungrily looking eyes. Slowly and carefully, he got rid of any other articles of clothing we had on. He w

I straightened up as I walked beside Aiden into the company's building. By now, I knew the news about us must have gone viral, and I noticed something as we walked in. People didn't look twice at us as they all minded their business. We stopped at the elevator, and Aiden looked at Jeremy. "Isn't it repaired yet?" He asked. I looked at Jeremy waiting for his answer, though I did not know what needed to be repaired. "I'm sorry, sir." He apologized. He bit his lips, abstaining from saying what he didn't want to say. "Come on." He said and started walking toward the other elevator. When I turned, everyone around had a shocked expression on their faces. Jeremy walked in with us, and he said, "You came in too?" What's wrong with Aiden? Jeremy understood and walked out while Aiden pressed the button for the 54th floor. There was a moment of silence as both of us gave each other cold shoulders. He's always acting as if I care, oh I cared. He grabbed my waist and pushed me forward

"What do you mean you're going with him to India?" Elle asked. "I can't believe you're asking such a question after seeing me pack my clothes into that bag over there." I snapped. She's taking things too far. "Why?." "Elle, you know why. I can't lose Aiden again. I lost him once to that bitch. What if he meets another woman there? I would have to go over the same trauma again." She rolled her eyes. "Allow the man to breathe. Aiden might get tired of you if you continue following him around. You sound like a 16-year-old dating her boyfriend for the first time." "I'm not trying to be overprotective of him, though Aiden can never get tired of me." She smiled. "I know what I'm saying. If you follow him everywhere, he will get tired of always seeing you. Make him miss you so badly that he will want to run after you." "Two weeks isn't two days. I'll die if he stays that long, he might even decide not to come back to me." I bite my lips at the thought. Elle shook her head at me

"Do you know where this is?" He asked in a low tone. I didn't turn but kept admiring the beautiful building from the window. He held me by the shoulder, and I smiled as he kissed my hair. "The gateway of India," I replied, "Do you wanna go there?" He asked yet again. I turned. "I would love to, but I'm afraid this is not why you're here. You're here to work." I said to him, "I can make out time, baby." He picked up my hands and kissed each of them. "Okay. Tomorrow then," A smile crept onto my lips, he stepped closer and kissed me slowly. He bit my lower lips seeking entrance as I wrapped my hands around his neck, I dug my right hand in his hair as he let out a deep groan in his throat softly, his hands carrying me up to his waist as I wrapped my legs around his hips. "I love you." He said in between the kiss and took my lips again, eliciting a moan out of me. Soon, he dropped me carefully on the bed and started getting rid of my nightdress. He slipped my pants off my legs an

I was pacing to and fro the hotel room as I waited for Aiden. Who wouldn't when you're given a mysterious flower from an anonymous person?. I knew after I must have sent the message to Aiden, that he'd be on his way home. The message. 'I can't breathe, I don't know what's happening, I think I've attracted perverts.' It didn't take long before I heard a knock at the door. Suddenly, I ran and looked into the small opening to see Aiden. I opened the door. Aiden grabbed my cheeks immediately and kissed me, then he broke out of the kiss and I breathed deeply. He was looking around the room, and when he was done, satisfied that there wasn't anything out of place, he looked at me. "What did you say happened?" He asked. "The flowers," I pointed at the flowers on the table. He started walking towards the flowers without a word. "A card?" He asked and looked back at me. "I have never gone through it," I told him, agitatedly. I also wanted to find what was in it, but I calmed down a

I stayed at the reception while Aiden walked in to meet the board president, who I heard came back yesterday. It was three days and the gifts were up and coming. Sometimes I would reject it and throw it away or give it to a passerby. No day passed without me giving gifts to people. I suddenly felt the need to walk into the bathroom, not after I dialed Elle's number. "Hi.please, how can I find the restroom?." I asked the pretty receptionist, who smiled and asked her co-worker to attend to me. We reached the door, "You can find your way back, right?." She asked and I nodded, she left. "Why are you calling me?" Elle asked the minute she picked up. "What took you so long to pick my calls?" I asked back. I could feel her rolling her eyes right now. "I was busy at the office, and answer me." She answered sarcastically. "Baby, please come back to bed." I heard a male voice say at her end. I shook my head as if she was seeing me. "Your work is great over there. Who's that?" I as

As we walked into the mansion with Jeremy carrying our truck items, I stopped in my tracks when I saw Fiona in the living room. Even Aiden was surprised. "Mom," he called, then looked at me. "Oh, you're surprised to see me. I can visit, right?" She asked, and I raised my brows at her. Aiden scoffed, "Stop being dramatic, even if I don't want you here, you always do what you want. Well, quick question, what're you doing here? You can't leave the comfort of your mansion to come here for nothing." She smiled, "I need to talk to her, it's good you brought her, oh I forgot she lives here with you." She said with a scowl over her face. I cocked my brows at her and looked at Aiden. "Okay," Aiden said. "I mean, alone. She, me, alone." She emphasizes, using her finger to point it out. Aiden scoffed. "That's not gonna happen, you'll speak with her while I'm here," Aiden interjected rashly. I frowned. This isn't going to be great. I looked at Aiden, "It's not like she would harm m

Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found Was blind, but now I see I couldn't bring myself to sing this song, not because I wanted to disrespect Mrs. Addison in her burial, but because I don't like this song. It reminded me of my parents' funeral. Elle was sitting in front of her mom's corpse as the priest conducted the mass. She was putting on dark shades, but I know she was crying silently. She has always been a strong girl, but there's no way she was gonna get over the pain. Mrs. Addison was kind to all and sundry. She has treated me like her daughter since my parents died. Elle's dad was never around for them, and yet he couldn't make it to his ex-wife's burial ceremony. Her boss was standing beside her with a bunch of flowers while I stood beside Aiden, Damon with Gavin, and his girlfriend. We were all putting on black clothes. I rubbed my stomach as a result of not eating for two days now. I wasn't that hungry a

Narrator's pov "I can't believe you said that to her. Why are you this troublesome?." Aiden's voice rang into the office, getting everyone around scared and nervous. Whenever the boss is angry, they always get this way to avoid being fired. "Really? I am troublesome?." Fiona could not believe her ears. She couldn't believe Kathleen had the nerve to report her to her son. "Shameless woman!" She mumbled, her voice harsh and low. "You know how angry I get when I hear his name. If you could stop coming over to my house, I'd be grateful." He finished up and ended the call abruptly. Kat stood by the transparent door and listened. She didn't know if she should go in or not because she thought Aiden was still angry with her. Aiden looked up, then was surprised at seeing her. He waved at her to come in. Kat breathed out and walked into the office with a white transparent bag packed with food. She dropped it on the table and stood before Aiden. "I'm sorry." She said mildly, avoiding
