Chapter 12 - Farewell

"I'm gonna miss you both." I mumbled.

"Oh please Addilyn, you have Aiden. Plus you can call your friends for a sleepover or something, you know, when you feel bored." my mom said patting me in my back.

I nodded and helped them carry their luggages towards the taxi that was waiting outside the apartment.

Me and my brother were hugging our mom and dad. It was the first time they were leaving us by ourselves.

Peeeeeeeep! I jumped, the car honked. I guess it was guessing late. I took a glance in my phone and DAYUM it was 7:15. My mom and dad waved us goodbye while the driver placed the 2 luggages in the trunk.

"Bye!" I yelled, waving crazily as well, while Mrs Aiden the great waved boringly, focusing more on the music he was listening with his headphones on.

I stood until the taxi was no longer visible. I turned to see that Aiden was entering the elevator.

"Hey wait! Aiden wait!" I shouted, but he didn't seem to hear anything and the doors closed.

I sighed and took the stairs. It was a chilly night and TiNK! someone sent me a message. As I was walking the stairs, I took out my phone from the back pocket of my jeans.

I gazed the messages.

Cason:

Hey, u ok? U seemed 2 hv read my mssgs but....

Me:

Oh I'm so srry...HI lol. My mom nd dad had 2 leave the country for a while so I just said bye 2 them. They were leaving to the airport....

Cason:

Oh, should hv called me, u knw, could hv picked and drop them 2 the airport :)

Me:

I actually forgot abt u... so srry ... u see I had an exhausting school day ... nd my mom even told abt it after I came back from school ...

Cason:

It's fine no problem. You don't hv 2 say srry. So are you free?

Me:

Pretty much ... apart from the assignments I have to submit on Monday ... yea why tho?

Cason:

Well, um, I was planning maybe we could meet now?

Me:

Like today rn?!

Cason:

Yea, like if ur not free, I can understand, but I'm free rn, we could go 2 a cafe or any other place u want.

I had reached my floor and headed to my room.

I turned the doorknob and as expected the door opened, and there Aiden was, still busy listening to music.

"Hey sis, I wanna call my friends over. I'm so bored so maybe my friends and I could play playstation." Aiden wondered.

Actually that would be good. Maybe I could go out with Cason and Aiden's friends could keep him company without him dragging by the fact of where I was going alone at night.

"Yea, I mean I wouldn't mind if ya'll don't make a mess" I noted.

Aiden then gave that wicked smile, which I wasn't sure why he did that and ended up saying "ok".

I viewed my phone again, seeing that Cason was still online I replied:

Me:

I will be out at 7:45, we can go for a walk maybe? You choose the place.

Cason:

Oh Ok, so glad u agreed, I will be out my 7:40.

Enough of texting. Ugh all I wanted was a movie and snacks but I guess meeting someone I barely know won't hurt.

I went to my room and inspected my wardrobe to choose what to wear.

After taking out a casual outfit, I side braided my hair and went eat some food. When I came out of my room I Freaked Out. My brother called 4 of his friends who were laughing and talking stuff.

"Aiden what is this?! I thought it was just games?" I nagged as i saw that they were busy eating popcorn and the drinks were placed everywhere.

"Oh don't worry, I clean it later"

"Yeah right, hey Aiden, i'll be right back"

No response. Without saying anything further, I left the room and went into the elevator. I rechecked my phone if i had any messages none. Then just when I thought I would reach the ground floor, the elevator stopped on the first floor. It took awhile for the elevator doors to open. I was quite blank, unsure whether the elevator was stuck or something. Finally the door opened slowly portraying a hooded man. He swiftly got in, and i didn't bother to examine his face, though the strong scent of his cologne probably, filled the whole elevator.

But why take the elevator when your a floor below the ground floor? When we reached the ground floor, I got out of the elevator first and dashed out of the apartment. There was a two doored silver mercedes waiting though I didn't know who it was. Then the driver's door blew open and he came out.

His hair was messy, exposing that he actually had light brown hair, and his eyes. Geez I could stare at them for an eternity! Was he examining me? Oh yes he was scanning me up and down.

"Compared to yesterday you look-"

"Hot?" I cut him off

"Well if you say so." he said giving out a smirk as well.

"So where we goin'?"

"My house." Cason stated at once.

I didn't know what to say next. So I just went into the front seat, while he went to the driver's seat. I pulled the seat belt over me and inserted it into the buckle. Cason did the same too and pressed the accelerator causing the car to move.
