Alle Kapitel von Aimee & Jayden: The Space Between Us: Kapitel 51 – Kapitel 55

AimeeAimee had found it hard to sleep last night. She kept replaying Jayden’s face with the fireworks behind him as he confessed his feelings to her. She would hug her pillow and squeal, kicking her legs in the air, then cover her flushed face and repeat everything all over again. She couldn’t find a comfortable spot to lie on her bed and kept turning and tossing around until the first break of dawn.Seeing the rising sun and knowing she would get to see Jayden again in the afternoon to confirm that they were truly dating now, she suppressed the excitement in her heart and forced herself to catch a few hours of sleep so that she wouldn’t be meeting her boyfriend with eyebags.Although Aimee said that, she still woke up after only a few hours of sleep, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t go back to sleep, so she decided to find something to do to pass the time. But then again, time was sluggish, and even when she felt like at least an hour should have passed, it would end u

AimeeAimee had to stop herself from pacing around like someone whose wife was in the labor room. Jayden was seeing a doctor, and she could only wait outside with Gary standing beside her.

What if—”“Miss Aimee, calm down,” Gary said gently. “He will be fine. We are already at the hospital. At most, we would arrange a private ward for him.”Aimee sighed and nodded. Gary was right. She knew he was. She just had to be patient until

AimeeIt had been a day since Jayden came to Aimee’s house sick, and last night he had had a nightmare and then said he was a bad boyfriend because he was sick.Although she had laughed about it, she couldn’t stop thinking about his words and his nightmare when she was alone in her room. She kept wondering what Jayden considered a good boyfriend, and more importantly, what kind of experience he had with his mother that the wound was still buried so deeply in his heart that it could resurface in his weakened state.“Wow, thank God, it’s finally down,” Aimee said, looking at the thermometer that showed 36.6°C.“I told you I’m feeling better,” Jayden replied, staring at the thermometer in her hand.He had been telling Aimee since morning that he was feeling better, but she didn’t believe him. Part of the reason was because she wanted to make sure he was perfectly fine before letting him go, and the other reason was that, knowing Jayden, he would leave as soon as he felt better, and she w
