My phone began beeping as I decided to flat my hair out, it looked like a mess, I was too tired to wrap it last night and now I look like a dragged queen. Ugg! I exclaimed as I tried to brush it out. I picked my phone up and saw Aiden's name and answered...
Aiden.
Hi, good morning,
Can I take you out?
Me.....
Hi, and good morning to you too,
May I ask where? and I found myself smiling.
Aiden...
It's a surprise! don't worry it'll be safe and secretive.
Me...
Okay, I meet you at Jenny's parking lot.
Aiden...
Okay, see you in an hour.
End of call.....
In an hour? how the hell did he expect me to get ready that quickly? Ugg! I quickly finished my hair and went to my closet, as I rummage through it and can't seem to decide what to wear. Oh, man..... I dressed in a long-sleeve white top and a cream skirt that fit every curve of my body perfectly. I added a few accessories such as a bracelet, necklace and earrings, and a pair of black heels, I was feeling this look. I quickly lose curled my hair and took up a few things and place them in my purse. I got to my car and headed out with only 20 minutes to spare.
I arrived at Jenny's parking lot and Aiden was there waiting for me. I parked my car and walked over to where he was standing. "I'm sorry I'm late."
He smiled, it's fine "L". Are we ready? "Yeah sure", I stated and he opened the door of his car and I got in.
"Thank you".
"You're welcome."
He ran around to his door and I pulled my seat belt and placed it over me.
"So where are we going?" I asked as he pulled out onto the busy street.
"As I said before, It's a surprise!", he looked at me and I raised my hand up, as if surrendering, fine, I said (rolling my eyes). and he smirked.
We stayed quiet for a while until I broke the silence.
"What's the name of your sisters?", I questioned.
"Ashley and Hasley", he smiled. Are they twins?', I asked
"Yeah, they're 16 and are totally in love with you by the way" they know all your songs and I think they even went to a concert of yours and I smiled.
"Awwww that's so sweet, I hope I get to meet them one day."
And he smirks. What? I asked "Oh nothing!" he exclaimed. "No, tell me!"
"You wanna get to know my family huh?".
Ah no..... It's just that I..... I... and I'm at loss for words.
"It's ok "L", I wanna spend time with you too", he said and I felt butterflies in my chest. As he smiled at me with those eyes that keep stopping the beat of my heart.
"Hey keep your eyes on the road", I said quickly and he turns his head toward the road. We talk about ourselves and our families. We have been driving for so long! "Are we there yet?" I wined.....
And he laughed, "someone's a baby", he exclaimed and I pouted which made him chuckle even louder and his laugh was so intoxicating, he's so cute. How could the gods be so good to him, like this guy is literally perfect!
"Here we are", he stated as we pulled up to a dirt road, it's a long way off the main road and there was a beach along the driveway and lots of palm trees and brushes, but it was so beautiful.
Wow! I started literally in disbelief at the beauty of this place.
"I know", he said.
"How do you know this place?", I questioned.
"Acting has its perks" he shrugged and winked.
I smiled and we pulled up to the front of the place it was beautiful, there were more palm trees and colorful paintings as we stepped in.
"Hola, Bienvenidos a todos ¿cómo están?", said a woman in a floral dress and a wide smile. "Hola Maria", said Aiden as he kissed her on both cheeks.
"And who is this beautiful lady?", she asked,
"Hola, Soy London, mucho gusto", I said as I smiled and Aiden looked taken aback. Maria led us to a table and we sat down.
"I didn't know you spoke Spanish", he stated. I know 5 languages I exclaimed.
Really? he stated.
"Yeah um.. I know French, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, and Chinese".
"Wow..... that's awesome. What other surprise do you have for me? he laughed".
"For me to know and you to find out," I said and he raised his brows...
"Are you flirting with me, Miss Kings?"
Maybe! I smiled.
"I like it", he motioned as he keeps staring at me.
"Stop... stop looking at me like that". I said as I covered my face.
He held my hand and pulled it from my face, "you're so cute when you blush, you know that?" I like your smile and I'm crazy about your dimples.
"I like your eyes, it's cute". "that's good to know he stated as he smiled.
"What is the color of my eyes?", I asked closing them.
He chuckled, "they're ocean bluish greenish, and it makes you look so beautiful. How did you get those eyes?" He asked looking intrigued.
"Well let's just say I'm mixed with a whole different type of people. I laughed, but I think it's from my Australian side", I shrugged.
"Are we ready to order?", asked Maria.
"Ah yea, I'll have a mojito, and ah what's good here? I looked at Aiden.
"Could we get some tacos, 2 Burritos, some quesadillas and I'll have a mojito as well!"
"Ok great", exclaimed Maria.
"So, tell me about your family".
"Ah... Not much to tell, I am very close to my parents, they are awesome and would do anything for my brother and I. Chase is my only sibling and I love him more than anything in this world, we moved here to follow our dreams and our parents were really supportive. I love my dad, I guess I'm a daddy's girl I smiled. What about you?"
As Maria came with our order and we thanked her.
"Wow, this looks amazing."
"It does!", stated Aiden as we dig in and I literally closed my eyes at the taste of my burrito.
"Oh my god, this is so good", and I heard Aiden chuckling.
"Did I just say that out loud?" I asked looking up at him.
"You really do love food huh?", and we both laughed. "Hey....food is life, food is life", I stated.
"Ah, I'm close to my family as well, I talked to my sisters daily and my mother but it's hard not seeing them regularly. They live in Canada and I only see them at least once every 2 or 3 months because of my work schedule."
"Oh wow, that's horrible, I don't think I could do that, well my dad would die and mom too". And he smiled.
What? I asked.
"I like your accent and the way you say "Mom".
Hi, someone behind me exclaimed. As Aiden looked up and I turned around. She walked towards the side of the table.
"Hi, Brittney, How are you?" Said Aiden.
"I'm doing great, what no calls?" she said and raised her brows.
"This is London, he exclaimed and she half smiled and focus back on Aiden, I will be in touch said Aiden quickly and she nods, "I look forward to that", as she walked away.
"Okay, she was rude! I thought. "That was awkward" I stated and he started to explain. "I'm sorry about that".
"No, it's fine. Someone's a hit with the ladies", I smiled and his expression changed.
"It's not like that "L", it was a long time ago and"
"Aiden it's fine, I said interrupting him, I'm not mad."
"Are you sure?", he asked as he held my hand under the table, and I smiled "I'm sure" I stated.
"I have one more surprise for you!" He smiled. "And what's that?", I asked.
He got me a pair of sandals and told me to take my shoes off and took my hands in his.
"Let's go", he stated. We were walking on the sand and it felt so good, I love the beach and then I saw the boat. We went in the boat, it was small but it was just for us so no big deal.
After you, he said as he helps me up the step and then followed behind. The water was clear and beautiful as I closed my eye and let my hair blow in the wind. It felt so good, I felt free and I felt Aiden's eyes on me.
"Why are you looking at me?", I asked, and he laughed, "how do you even know that I'm looking at you?", and I open my eyes, I just know, I said and he smirked.
We spend the rest of the time chit-chatting after which we were ready to leave. This place is splendid, I said and he shook his head in agreement, but I should take you home now he stated and I asked the time, going through my purse and looking for my phone. "Have you seen my phone?"
"Ah I'm not sure, maybe it's in the car." Ok let's go, I said. We thanked Maria and left. My phone was on the car seat, shit!.
What's wrong? Aiden asked as I turned my phone to his face.
20 missed calls
Whoa...
Mom, Chase, Car, and Alex. As I was about to touch it, it started ringing.....
"Hi daddy, Yeah I'm sorry about that I left my phone in my car and I was writing some music, as Aiden looks up at me and his arms crossed over his chest. "I'm fine. dad and tell mom I'm okay and I'll call her soon."
"Writing some music huh?", exclaimed Aiden. "I can't deal with my dad's and everyone's 21 questions right now."
"Okay, he stated Are we ready to go?"
"Yeah.. Yeah yeah yeah yeah I started singing Usher's singing and dancing as he started laughing. You're such a weirdo, he stated.
"I'm not" I pouted.
"You are but I love it", he smiled. He started the car and we were on our way back, I felt tired and as if he realized he asked me if I wanted to sleep.
"No, I'm ok, just a bit tired." Before I knew it I was out.
Aiden's POV
She looked so sleepy, "Do you wanna sleep?" I asked her.
No, I'm ok, just a bit tired, she replied.
I turned my head back to the road, "So when am I going to meet your friends?", I didn't hear a response as I turned to her and was about to call her name, I realized she had fallen asleep. So much for being ok I guess. She looks so beautiful and at peace, I brushed her hair back from her face so I could get a better look. I can't explain the things you do to me "L". I think I love you already and I have to make you mine, you're mine. You're perfect and so damn beautiful, I can't keep my eyes off of you no matter who's around.
She mumbled and turned as she woke up trying to adjust her eyes to the light. "Good morning sunshine", I joked.
"Oh shut up", she said.
"Someone's cranky I see!".....
"I can't believe I fell asleep, "I'm the worst company ever, she stated.
"I'm glad you said that, I won't be taking you out again", and I saw her face drop as she looks on the road.
I'm joking "L", as she slaps my arm and I chuckled.
"It's a joke, you're way too adorable."
We pulled up to Jenny's parking lot and turned off my ignition. I turn to face her and she smiled. "I had fun today, thank you", she stated.
"Me too". I opened my door and ran around to hers and opened it leading her to her car, I'll be behind you until you're home.
She blushed, "you don't have to do that I'm fine. I'm a big girl Aiden."
"I know that but I want to and I'm not taking no for an answer so get in", I said as I pulled her door and she got in. I took her hand and kissed it, "good night "L", good night Aiden!
