Upset

"Stop joking around, Aiden. Charlotte doesn't have a crush on Dalton. That's a weird thing to say." Maya smacked Aiden's arm and laughed nervously. "He's just trolling," she tried to convince herself.

"I'm not joking. Stop calling her my cousin; we are not related to her. She is the girl Dalton's late uncle brought from God knows where."

Maya shakes her head, unwilling to believe it, despite the aching feeling of jealousy beating in her heart.

"You're just being paranoid. Charlotte treats him like a cousin," Maya defends her.

Aiden snorts. "Just wait and see."

"You are talking nonsense. End of conversation. I want to watch my movie in peace." Maya climbed back into the bed and tried to ignore Aiden's presence, focusing her attention on the movie. However, the feeling of Aiden being right about Charlotte was unnerving her.

Aiden left Maya's room when the movie ended, but his words lingered in her mind.
