Chapter 52I like him, i told myself. Or rather, I liked this version of him. I wasn't exactly sure what i liked yet, him or this version of him.I stared at him, a small smile still playing on his lips as Aliyah left. He returned to frying his eggs.“You must be really fond of Aliyah”“She’s so adorable isn't she?” he said, his smile growing wider.“Yeah she is,” I nodded. “She even has a crush on you”“Same way I had a crush on Whitney Houston growing up. Silly crush”My eyes widened in amusement. “You did? I'm so surprised”“Why are you so surprised?”“I didn't peg you… for the type to have a crush on anyone.. Or rather a celebrity crush”He raised a brow at me. “Elizabeth, you do realize I'm human right? And i was once a child? And that i have a heart?”“Well you don't seem like you have one” i said quickly before i could stop myself. Realizing what i had just said, i smiled shakily at him.Amusement flashed through his eyes. “Really? You think so?”“Well, considering how you've b

Chapter 54.AARON’S POV.The way she snapped took me aback. We were having a normal conversation, surprisingly not arguing, and the next minute she snapped. I wonder what I said wrong.“Are you bipolar?” I asked in amusement. Sometimes, Elizabeth amused me with her actions. She is a very funny, feisty woman.Her head snapped to me, eyes glistening with annoyance. I bit my lips to hide a smirk.“Excuse me?!” I shrugged. “Because why are you mad at me all of a sudden? What did I do now?”“You…” She paused and took a deep breath. “You know what? Never mind. I don't know what I'm even doing with you here in the first place. Let's go back to living like strangers,” she said and started walking away, pouting her lips like a teenager who was denied a party.I don't know why I did what I did but I went after her and gently grabbed her arm and spun her around to face me.“Elizabeth, what's pissing you off right now? What did I say wrong?”Her eyes lingered on where I held her for a while bef

Chapter 56.“Taylor what the fuck was that?!” I screamed immediately we both entered my room and I shut the door behind me.“What is what?” Taylor asked, trying to act clueless.“Don't piss me off young lady,” I said, fuming in anger. “In what world do you think it was right to sleep with my husband’s best friend whom you barely even know, and who less than 24 hours ago, you said you didn't like? Explain it to me. Make it make sense to me!”She simply shrugged. “I am an adult Beth. And if I want to have a one-night stand or a fling, I will”I couldn't believe my ears. “What? You just got off a heartbreak Tay. The last person you need for a rebound is Ryan because he will only break your heart further. When I said you can be friendly with him, I didn't mean get into his bed. Ryan is fucking bad news, do you hear me?”“I am not looking for love, or anything serious” she snapped. “I am done with that bullshit, now I will live my life on my terms and enjoy myself the same way you did befo

Chapter 58.“Pumpkin” came Noah’s voice immediately i picked his call.“Hey Noah, you good?” I asked, my tone was heavy due to my mood but I hoped he didn't notice.“I’m not good. I miss you” he said in a low shaky voice that tugged at my heartstrings, not romantically but out of pity.I didn't want Noah feeling like this, I didn't want him having feelings for me, and I didn't deserve it. I didn't deserve his unwavering love. Here I was, ignoring someone who loves me and pining over someone who didn't give a shit about me. That spoke volumes about my foolishness and just goes to show that Noah deserved a better woman.When I didn't reply, he continued. “What are you doing? Can I see you today?” he asked.“Uhm…” I contemplated. I wasn't doing anything at home. My buddies, Ryan and Taylor weren't home. The only one at home was repulsed by my presence.Instead of sitting at home, doing nothing but wonder if I wasn't good enough for Aaron, maybe I should just stroll out.“What do you have

Days passed, and with Ryan and Taylor gone, I felt like I had returned to my old routine. The house was awfully cold, quiet, and boring. I missed them, Ryan and Taylor.I didn't see Aaron at all as he had either left early before I woke up, or late after I had retired to bed.I was bored out of my mind and Noah’s sleepover invitation was fast becoming tempting. I mean, I trusted Noah, he was a gentleman and regardless of his feelings for me, he really wouldn't force me to do what I didn't want to do.And when I hit him up to let him know I was taking up his offer, his excitement was through the roof.I didn't do much with my dressing, just something casual. Noah wasn't picking me up today, I was driving to his.As I walked downstairs, my eyes caught sight of Aaron, casually lounging on the couch. He turned to me almost immediately. And he smiled at me.My heart skipped a beat.“You’re finally down here,” he said cheerfully as I walked down.My brows were furrowed. “Uhm… yeah, didn't k
