“Mother, we're home" Andrea yelled as they entered the house. Just then, Liam came running down the stairs, straight at Rose. Rose opened up her arm to embrace him.
“I missed you so much," He murmured. She kissed his forehead.
“I missed you too. Come on, let's go catch up" She released him then held his hand and led him upstairs after she hugged Emily.
“I missed you guys so much," Emily said as she walked towards Aiden and Andrea.
“I missed you too mum... Well, I think I'm the only one that missed you. Someone was having a lot of fun on this vacation" Andrea motioned with her eyes towards Aiden. Emily's eyes widened while Aiden Rolled his eyes.
“I missed you mum, don't listen to her" Emily stared at him for a while. Suddenly, her face lit up.
“Oh my God, did you finally ask Rose out?" The tip of Aiden's ear grew red.
“No mum, Aiden's as slow as a snail but they have confessed their feelings for each other" Andrea informed her. Aiden shook his head.
“That's not all, she said she wanted to give relationship a try" Emily's and Andrea's eyes grew wide. They both squealed.
“Oh my God, I'm going to be an aunt"
“Forget aunt, I'm going to be a grandmother" Aiden stared at them like they were Crazy. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
“What are you guys doing? How can your mind go that far?" He asked incredulously.
“What's wrong with it?" Andrea asked.
“What's wrong with... We are in highschool" He informed them. Emily waved it off
“It doesn't matter, you will soon graduate so you are basically not a high schooler anymore and besides, some people get married in high school" Emily told him.
“I'm not even going to reply, I'm not going to be part of this craziness. I'm going to my room" He proceeded to walk away.
“In case you guys ever need condoms, come to me" Andrea yelled after him. He glared at her before quickly walking up the stairs. Emily turned to Andrea.
“Why do you have condoms?" Andrea's eyes widened.
“Well... You see... Coming" She pretended like Aiden called her and ran upstairs leaving a shocked Emily.
“So, you guys are dating now?" Liam asked in surprise.
“I don't know if we are dating exactly but I told him we should give relationship a go" Rose said nervously. Liam exclaimed excitedly.
“Oh my God, you are boyfriend and girlfriend now" Rose looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
“How do you know what's a boyfriend and girlfriend?" She questioned. Liam gave her a deadpan look.
“I'm ten, almost eleven" Rose sighed. She kept forgetting that her little brother wasn't so little anymore.
“Enough about Aiden and I, how did you spend your week?" His eyes brightened.
“I had a lot of fun with aunt Emily. She took me to the zoo, aquarium, Disneyland, a video gaming house and bought me tons of gifts. They are in the closet" He pointed at the closet with his thumb. Rose smiled at him.
“I'm glad" She ruffled his hair and stood up from the bed.
“That means you haven't been going to the hospital?" Liam nodded.
“The doctor aunt Emily I could take the week off" Liam explained. Rose nodded.
“Okay, rest for now. I'll be in the kitchen if you need me" Liam nodded at her then laid on the bed and closed his eyes. Rose tucked him in before walking to the door.
“Aiden?" As soon as she opened the door, she came face to face with Aiden who's fist was raised like he was about to knock on the door. He lowered his hand and smiled at her.
“What are you doing here?" She walked out of the room and closed the door before turning to him. Aiden scratched the back of his neck nervously.
“I was wondering if you wanted to go grab something to eat with me" Rose smiled at how cute he was.
“Aiden? Are you asking me out on a date?" She said straightforwardly. He stared at her in surprise for how straight forward she was but it soon turned into a smirk.
“Yes" She chuckled.
“Sure, I would love to but" She looked down at the clothes she had been wearing since they got back “Let me change and freshen up" Aiden held her hand before she could walk away.
“You look perfect. Let's go" He held her hand firmly and led her downstairs. Rose could feel the blush crawling up to her face because of the tingling sensation she felt anytime their hands touched. She tried to distract herself from the sensation by staring at Aiden. He always looked handsome in black on black. She always felt like she looked average compared to him and right now, she felt even more average. It wasn't even because of how she was dressed casually, he was dressed casually too, just a black T-shirt with a black trouser but he looked exceptionally dashing. She was feeling more self conscious because now, they were in a relationship and she felt she needed to start dressing well at least.
“I need to talk with Andrea and Claire ASAP" She mumbled to herself.
“Did you say something?" Aiden asked. She shook her head and flashed him a smile.
“So where are we going this time?"
“My favorite spot" Rose frowned.
“The ice cream bar?" Aiden shook his head.
“Do you have another favorite spot?" He nodded at her.
“I think this place is even better than the ice cream bar," Rose gasped.
“Nothing is better than ice cream but I can understand you since it's chocolate ice cream you like," Aiden chuckled.
“Are we never going to get past that?
“Apparently not," She smiled.
“Mother, I can see you'll have a little granddaughter soon" Emily and Claire both gushed over how happy Aiden and Rose seemed.
“I really hope it lasts"....
