Chapter 8

Elena Colton

Yes.. it's raining big time here in New York

Standing at the lobby completely blank seeing how crazy the rain is. I looked at the time and it's 3 p.m but the sky is so dark.

"Waiting for Collin?" I turned my head and found Aiden standing beside me. My heart automatically gone crazy

"No"

"Do you want me to walk you to the car?" He asked taking out the black umbrella that I gave him this morning

"Nah.. Cynthia will kill me" I shook my head and he chuckled

"She's still nothing to me.. I'll take care of her" Aiden smiled , opening the umbrella

"Come on" He gestured to me to get close to him , I hesitated but Aiden took my wrist pulling me towards him. He quickly put his arm around my shoulder. Oh my god.. please tell me that this is not a dream

"Where is your car?" I pointed at the big tree because I parked my car beside that tree. The rain is so crazy

"Aiden.. let's just go back. You'll get sick" I said worrying about him

"I won't chill" He smiled to me.. oh kill me now

He hold me closer , since the rain is so damn weird and the wind blows crazily. My bottom part is already drench.. so is Aiden's.

"Stop here.. I can run there , it's alrea-"

"I'll walk you there Elena , why are you trying to push me away?" I'm not trying to push you away but I'm worried about you

"Okay fine" I said

Suddenly Aiden tripped and I quickly pulled his hand to I'm the one who fell to the ground first. Ouch! That hurts. I looked at the ground and saw a big pile that made him tripped.

"You okay?" I asked and now we're both totally drenched

"Why are you asking me that? I'm the one who asked you that.. you pulled me" I hurt myself for you.. He quickly stand up and pulled me

"Are you okay?" He kneeled to check on my leg

"Shit" He cursed

"What? Why?" I asked

"There's scratch.. why did you pull me?" He looked up to me.. Before answering him , I quickly take the umbrella covering him

"Come here" He stood up and pulled me again. We both stand inside the umbrella and he looked at me intensely

"Let's go" He pulled me and we continue to walk to my car again

I quickly take my car keys , press unlock. Aiden pulled my side of the door and pushed me in. I looked at me and he's walking towards the passenger seat beside me. He entered my car and we both drenched.. totally drenched

"Sorry" I apologize.. He might get sick tomorrow

"Huh? For what?"

"Letting you walk me here.. causing this" I pointed to his shirt and he looked at me weirdly

"You're really weird Elmo"

"Huh?"

"I should be the one who says sorry.. you have a scratch on your leg because you saved me" I looked at my leg and yes.. there's a scratch. I looked at it blankly and just ignore it

"Why did you pull me?"

"Reflect" I mean that's right but more like I don't want him to get hurt

His phone rings , he quickly takes it out of his bag. Answering it and put his phone to his ear

"Hey Cynthia" Of course.. Cynthia is her girl

"I can't , let's go another time. Don't be mad Cynthia.. oh come on.. no.. Don't be a kid" He ended the call after he said that angrily

"I'll drop you to the lobby so you can meet Cynthia and-"

"Let's just go buy a drive thru Starbucks" He said and my eyes widen

"But Cynthia.."

"Ignore her.. let's buy a hot coffee Elmo" He said and I nodded. Starting my car and quickly driving away from school. I glanced at Aiden who is looking outside the window

"Can you say that you like someone just because you are attracted to them?" Suddenly Aiden asked

"No.." I answered and Aiden turned to me

"It's just attraction , it will die fast" I added

"Have you ever liked someone?" He asked , he let out a sarcastic laugh

"Don't ask me then" I hissed and he laughed

"I'm kidding Elena"

"Of course I like someone" I said.. obviously you

"Collin.. so obvious" Wrong!

"Why? Do you just realise that you only attract Cynthia?" I asked

"I don't know.." He looked to the road

"If you only want to play her.. I suggest don't. Don't break girls heart because you will never know what will happen"

"I know.. Andrew did that and I so won't like if it happen to me"

"Then do a serious relationship with her" I said.. swallowing my heart , it sucks

"I don't feel that she's the right girl"

"Maybe you'll know if you spend a lot of time with her" I smiled.. fake smile.. please.. it's a fake smile

I'm so jealous of Cynthia , she's so lucky!

Drive into the Starbucks drive thru and look at the menu. I'll go for a hot caramel macchiato.. Aiden also like that

"What do you want? Hot caramel macchiato?" I turned to him and his face light up

"Yeah.. that will be good"

"Size Venti?" I asked and he nodded

He always orders that when he goes to starbucks. He always get the venti size

"2 Hot Caramel Macchiato size Venti please" I said

"Anything else missed? Do you wan-"

"No"

"Please go to the payment section miss" I drive to forward and pay for the drink

"Let me pay"

"Too late bad boy" I smiled. Take the coffee and give one to Aiden right away. He needs a warm drink.. I know he's freezing.

"I'll drop you to school now.. your ca-"

"Park here first.. I want to enjoy my coffee" He pointed an empty parking spot

"Huh?"

"Park there Elena , let's enjoy this coffee first" I think I'm dreaming right now.. please tell me that this is a dream. I don't want to wake up!
