Living With The Bad Boy

Aiden’s POV

I pulled off my t-shirt, leaving only my pants as I made my way towards the toilet. I was about entering the toilet when I heard a knock on the door.

“Come in” I said immediately and the door pulled open. To my surprise, I saw Liv standing by the door.

“Hi” She stood there with a shy smile on her face.

“Hi” I stared blankly at her. Oh God I missed her this past few days but my ego didn’t let me talk to her or visit her.

“Can I come in?” She asked shyly.

“Of course” I said and watched her come further into the room as she locked the door behind her.

“Can we talk?” She asked once she was standing only few inches away from me while fidgeting with her fingers.

“Sure” I hung my t-shirt on the door of my toilet before making my way to the bed. I sat down on the bed and then patted the spot beside me in gesture for her to sit down.

I watched her walk towards me as she sat few inches away from me.

“I heard you’re leaving tomorrow” She said after a few seconds of silence.

“Yeah” I quietly said.

“Were you ever gonna tell me?” She fixed her gaze on me. She looked hurt. I didn’t like to see her this way.

“Yeah” I watched her carefully.

“When? When you’ve left?” She said angrily.

“No, I was planning on coming over to see you tonight but then I found you here” I told her truthfully.

“And then when you saw me you acted like you didn’t even know me” She was angry.

“I’m sorry” I don’t know what else to say to her.

“You’re sorry? really?” Her eyes were bloodshot red.

“I was hurt too you know, do you know how rejection feels?” I raised my voice slightly.

“Rejection? I never rejected you!” She yelled back and stood up.

“You did! You so fucking did and it hurt me!” I also stood up.

“You know what, I’m done here. I made a mistake coming to talk to you in the first place” She yelled and turned around to walk away but I stopped her immediately by grabbing her wrist and pulling her to me.

“Let go of me Aiden!” She yelled angrily. I could see the tears welling up in her eyes. She was fighting it.

“Why do you always do this, why do you always leave me!” I yelled as I breathed into her face. My arms wrapped tightly around her waist as I stared into her beautiful orbs.

“I’m not the one leaving this time, it’s you Aiden!” She cried.

“You’re crying, why are you crying?” I questioned her.

“Is that question for me?” She fixed me with her own question.

“Did I say anything bad?” I raised her chin up to make her face me.

“Let go of me Aiden, I want to go” She said without looking at me.

“Liv……”

“Please” She added and I released her. I watched her walkaway and I didn’t stop her this time.

Liv’s POV

I left his room immediately and headed downstairs. I wiped off my tears with my hand immediately. I didn’t want Nana to see me crying. Why I was crying is something I don’t even know the answer to.

Luckily Nana was nowhere to be found so I easily made it out of the house. I practically ran over to my house without looking back.

“Honey is that you?” Came my mother’s voice as soon as I got into the living room.

“Mum” I ran to hug her. I was feeling too emotional today. Maybe it’s because it’s my time of the month.

“What happened sweetie?” She asked as she rubbed my back.

“Just let me hug you” I sobbed on her chest.

“Okay baby” She comforted me soothingly for a few minutes until I pulled away.

“What’s wrong baby?” She asked again.

“It’s nothing mum, I just wanted to hug you” I lied.

“Are you sure?” She raised her eyebrows as she stared cautiously at me, taking in my appearance.

“Yes” I nodded.

“Okay baby, go up and freshen up so long while I make dinner” I was glad she didn’t question me further even though I knew she wanted to.

“Okay mum” I nodded and made my way upstairs.

Once I got to my room, I slammed the door shut and ran up to my bed. I collapsed on the floor with my head on the mattress as I let out my sobs.

Why am I even crying when nothing happened to me? This period of a thing turns me to something else.

I was interrupted from my melodramatic state by the continuous ringing of my phone. I picked up my phone from beside me and answered the call without checking the caller id.

“Liv” The one voice I’ve been longing to hear since the past few weeks spoke over the phone

[So hey guys, I know it’s been a long wait. Some of y’all have been waiting for Alex to resurface, here he is! Enjoy!]
