Aiden quickly got out of bed and rushed towards Rose.
“Rose, wait...." She banged her door in his face. Aiden frowned as he knocked on the door.
“Rose? Let's talk for a bit please? If you want to cut all ties with her, I will baby. I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking" Rose listened to him as he spoke from the other side of the door.
“Rose?" Rose sighed before opening the door for him. She sighed as she stared at him.
“I'm sorry, I overreacted. Obviously, you can have any kind of friend you want" Aiden shook his head.
“No you didn't overreact. I would do the same if not worst" He drew her into his embrace.
“I'm sorry" He apologized. She stared up at him.
“It's okay" She murmured and they both smiled.
“Are you coming to my room with me?" Aiden asked hopefully. His face turned into a frown as Rose shooked her head.
“I think I'm going to sleep in my room today. I have to get Liam ready for school tomorrow" She explained.
“Oh" She retracted herself from his arms. She smiled at him before walking back into her room. Aiden groaned as he plumped down on his bed.
“What have I done?"
“So you saw the picture in his closet?" Andrea asked for clarification as they sat down in the cafeteria the next day. Rose nodded.
“Do you guys think I overreacted?" Claire shook her head.
“Your actions were justified babe. Why would you still be in contact with your ex? It makes no sense if you ask me" Claire reached out and stole some fries from Andrea's plate. Andrea glared at her before turning to Rose.
“Look, my Brother and Brianna..."
“Her name is Brianna?" Rose asked.
“Yep. My brother and Brianna were so close that even after they broke up, they still hung out. She was there for him when he was going through stuff in his puberty days and besides, they didn't break up on an awful note. It was a mutual agreement" Rose frowned.
“I don't trust the Brianna girl, She was all over Aiden in his sophomore year and she was a bitch" Claire voiced out.
“Don't say that, she was actually cool" Andrea countered. Claire rolled her eyes then turned to Rose.
“Don't let your guard down, hold your man babe" Claire advised.
“Don't worry, he doesn't like her anymore and they haven't seen each other since they broke up because she moved halfway across the country so they only communicate on phone" Andrea assured her.
“How are you so sure?" Andrea scoffed at Rose's question.
“Aiden always came to me for girl problems and I'm quite close to Brianna" They were quiet for a while as they ate their food.
“Maybe I was too hard on him last night, I'm calling him" Rose took out her phone and dialed Aiden's number. He picked on the second ring.
“Baby?" Rose blushed at the tone of his voice.
“I'm sorry for how I behaved last night, I just needed to think for a while" Aiden chuckled.
“I said it was okay, I understand. Do you want me to pick you up from school today?" Rose nodded but then realized he couldn't see her.
“Yes"
“Alright, see you later. I love you" She could feel her cheek grow warm. She glanced up and saw Andrea and Claire gaze fixed on her.
“I love you too" She said hurriedly before she hung up. Claire wiggled her eyebrows at Rose.
“You guys are the cutest unlike someone beside me" Andrea scoffed
“At Least I have a guy," Claire gasped.
“If I wanted a guy, I would have gotten a guy but all the guys in this school are useless" Andrea snorted.
“Yeah keep telling yourself that"
Rose ran out of the classroom with a smile on her face as soon as the closing bell ran. Andrea didn't even bother chasing her, she didn't want to witness their PDA again. Rose ran towards where Aiden always parked his car but this time, he wasn't there. Her smile turned into a frown as she searched for him in the parking lot but there was no sight of him. Andrea walked up to her.
“Oh, he isn't here yet? He must be really busy then"
“Should we wait for a min.." Her phone rang indicating she had a message. Her frown deepened as she read the details. Andrea noticed her frown.
“What does it say?"
“He can't leave the office, he's too busy right now" She sighed.
“If you miss him so much, why don't you go visit him in the office?" Rose's face brightened up.
“Of course you can"
“Will you come with me?" Andrea shook her head.
“I have to be somewhere with Steven, I'll see you guys at home" Rose nodded.
“There's one little problem, I don't know where the company's at"
“Don't worry, I called Steven. He should be here like...." Just then, Steven pulled into the parking lot. Andrea turned to Rose.
“He will drop you off, let's go"
As Rose walked into the company she could feel eyes on her but she wasn't paying attention to them, she couldn't wait to see Aiden. She walked towards the receptionist table.
“Hi, I would like to see Aiden" The receptionist smiled at her.
“Do you have an appointment?" Rose furrowed her eyes in confusion.
“She doesn't need an appointment," someone said from behind her. She turned and realized it was one of those men that came looking for Aiden. He smiled at her.
“You must be Rose, any relation to Aiden can see him without an appointment. Please take the elevator up, his office is the only one there so you can't miss it" Rose thanked him before walking towards the elevator. She greeted the secretary in front of his office before opening the door. Aiden glanced at the door and was shocked to see Rose. He dropped the papers he was reviewing then walked towards her.
“Oh baby, I'm sorry I couldn't pick you up today, I've been so busy" Rose hugged him.
“It's okay, I'm just glad to see you now" She murmured in his chest. A knock was heard at the door before they could utter another word. Aiden couldn't hide his shock as he opened the door.
“Brianna?" Rose's head whipped towards the door. What was she doing here?!....
