Aiden's Point of View

Wyatt continued to treat me coldly. I can't help thinking that maybe he remembers something from that night, because he wouldn't treat me like this now if he doesn't remember anything. It hurts because even if he doesn't show it too much, I know he's avoiding me. He no longer sits next to me in class every time there is a class. His replacement was Hans. Hans always stuck to me like a leech.

This morning, as soon as I entered the classroom, he apologized to me, I think he remembered his sudden kiss on my head last Monday. Today was Wednesday and he just remembered it now, I can't blame him because he looked really drunk that night.

What about Wyatt? Will he not remember what happened to us? Well, maybe that's better. But maybe it would be better if he didn't avoid me. Did I do something that night that I don't remember? Hmm... I hope not.

•••••

"Wyatt!" I chased him. I held his hand to stop him from walking. I went in front of him while panting.

"Why?" He asked, "Do you need something?"

"No," I shook my head. "It's not that. Uhm, I just wanted to ask something."

"Hmm?" He tilted his head, "What is it?"

I took a deep breath and spoke with courage, "Do you remember anything from your birthday? When we both drank, do you remember anything after that?" I asked.

My heartbeat is racing. I'm nervous about what he was going to answer.

"Yeah," he raised his head while his eyes kept looking at me. He's like a prince just staring at his worker. He removed my hand that was holding him then he replied, "I remembered everything and I don't want that to happen again in the future. Why? Because it grosses me out."

My face crumpled. I also felt the weakness of my knees. I don't know what I should answer. Should I not have asked? Should I just let him avoid me? Because it was too painful for me to hear his answer.

"-den. Aiden. Aiden? Aiden!"

I fell back in my seat when I felt someone shake my shoulder. After I sat down properly, I saw Wyatt in front of me. My eyes widened in shock and fear filled my entire chest.

Was it just a dream earlier? Damn, what kind of dream was that? That scares me, I thought that was real. Was that a warning? Should I really not ask Wyatt about that? O-Okay, fine. I won't ask any more questions.

"Aren't you going to eat? It's already lunch break," he asked.

I looked away and scratched my head, "I-I'm not hungry."

"You're so thin and yet you still plan to skip meals?" He held my hand which surprised me, "Come on and don't fight back," he said and pulled me out of the classroom.

When we left the classroom, he let go of my hand. We just walk side by side now. It's better this way, maybe later he will hear how hard my heart beats if he continues to hold my hand.

"Didn't you sleep well?" He asked after a long silence between the two of us.

Why did he ask? Is it obvious? Are my eyebags big?

"Uhm, yes," I replied curtly.

"Why? Are you used to me always being there?" he asked, he even laughed after.

"I just can't really sleep well," I replied.

But the truth is that I'm really used to him always being there in my condo. I wanted to ask him if he wanted to sleep there now but shame took over. He might realize that I have feelings for him if I ever ask him. It's better that I just keep quiet and wait for when he plans to sleep there on his own again.

"Before I forget, grandpa wants to have dinner with Aida. Can you come later?" He turned to me while still walking, "I'll drop you off when we're done."

"Okay, I also don't have anything to do," I answered.

After the whole class, Wyatt and I went home together. He went straight to my condo and changed his clothes there to help me to fix myself. He sent a makeup artist to the condo to fix me up. The woman fixed my wig and put light makeup on my face. Wyatt made me wear a dress with a boatneck neckline in the front and a bow/tie back in the back.

He smiled while looking at me. I'm not looking directly at him, I can only see his face in the mirror where I'm facing now. We're the only ones together now because the makeup artist left right after she finished fixing me up.

I turned to Wyatt and the moment I turned to him, his smile disappeared. It was like my heart was pinched because of that.

"Let's go?" I asked, trying to push the feeling aside.

He nodded, "Can you walk? Aren't the heels too high?"

I looked at the heels below, they are high but I think I can walk with them. I will only wear slippers when leaving the condo and when we are at their house, that's when I will wear heels.

"I can do that, I'll only wear it at your house," I replied.

He nodded and did not speak. He went out first and I followed him. While we were on the road, we were both silent. It's like we're not friends for so long because we're so quiet. It seemed like no one had the intention of talking to the two of us.

And no one really spoke to me until we got to their house. Wyatt got out of the car first. He went around the front of the car and opened the door for me. He even extended his hand in front of me to help me out. I reached for it and carefully got out of the car.

"Are you okay? Aren't you nervous?" he asked. He put my hand on his arm and squeezed it.

"Uh-hmm," I nodded.

When we entered we were greeted by his cousins. Criza waved at me and was obviously shy to approach me. I smiled at her and waved too. Cynthia came to me and hugged me.

"Wow, you look so pretty today, huh!" Cynthia compliments me.

I giggled, "Thank you. You're beautiful too."

She slapped my arm jokingly, "Thanks!"

"Let's go to the dining room and grandpa has been waiting for you for a while now," Ryan said. He walked first to the dining room while we followed him.

I was surprised when I felt Wyatt's hand on my back. My back is open so I can feel his palm there. Suddenly, a flashback flashed in my mind of what happened at the hotel on his birthday. Damn, I felt all my blood rush to my face because of the memory.

Nothing strange happened. We just ate and talked but like before I didn't talk too much so they wouldn't hear my voice. I also only laugh with them when they are talking about something funny. My laugh is not loud so it's okay to laugh with them.

We finished eating and were putting away the plates where we ate when Wyatt's Mom spoke.

"I thought that Aiden and this Wyatt were going to be boyfriends because they were almost inseparable before," Wyatt's Mommy said with a laugh. "I'm relieved that Wyatt finally introduced a girlfriend to me," she turned to me and smiled. "Take care of our child, hmm?"

I nodded. I smiled even though I felt a pain in my chest. What if they find out it's still me, that Aiden is still the girlfriend Wyatt introduced them to? Will they be disappointed? What face will they show me? Will they hate us? Will they keep me away from Wyatt?

The table was filled with conversation again. Wyatt and I stayed there until 10 PM. We are now on our way home to the condo. As before, we were silent, no one spoke, no sound could be heard on the radio.

I closed my eyes until I didn't realize that I fell asleep. I only woke up when Wyatt tapped my shoulder.

"Thanks for taking me home," I said, then unbuckled the seatbelt.

I got out of the car and didn't wait for Wyatt's response. I hurriedly walked up to the building and when the elevator stopped at the floor where my unit was, I got out and hurriedly entered there.

°°°°

A week went by like a breeze. The sportsfest is over. I remember what Wyatt and I talked about. I would let him kiss me if he won track and field. I don't know if that is still valid because we rarely talk anymore. He won the sport he participated in and I don't know if he will still claim the kiss we talked about.

Two days have passed since that sportsfest but still nothing is happening. Maybe he forgot about what we talked about.

It's not that I'm dead from his kiss. I just want to be with him again even for a while because I miss him already. After dinner together with his family, he never returned to the condo. We used to see each other at school but we didn't pay much attention. The one I often talk to is Hans. I enjoy talking to him because he is talkative and he obviously likes to talk to me too. He is like a child looking for a playmate.

"Let's drink!" Yuan pleaded, "I'm broken, please drink with me."

"That's right, when you're ugly you often get broken hearted," Jacob teased him.

Yuan jokingly pushed Jacob, "I'm handsome! They're just really blind, aren't they, Aiden?"

Why am I suddenly included?

"Tch, don't involve Aiden in your foolishness," Hans interjected into the conversation.

We are here in the garden, there is no class so they thought about coming here. I wasn't really supposed to be with them, Hans just forced me to go. And because I wanted to be with Wyatt, I just went along.

"You're becoming like Wyatt too, ah. You're over protective of Aiden," said Yuan, he even scratched his head.

"Cut the crap, where do you plan to drink?" Wyatt asked.

"In Aiden's unit?" Jacob answered. He chuckled.

"Uh... It's okay with me," I answered.

"Oh, that's the place, huh? He agreed," Yuan said. "The drinks are on me, don't worry."

After class we went straight to the condo. As agreed we drank and Yuan did indeed answer the drinks. I only drank a few times but I immediately felt dizzy.

"I'm just going to take a shower," I said. I stood up and went straight to the bathroom.

I'm going to wash myself up, hoping that it could lessen my drunkenness.

After I finished taking a shower, I remembered that I didn't have any clothes with me. The only thing in the bathroom is the bathrobe. Tch. Maybe it's okay. I put it on and left the bathroom. I don't know if I was in the bathroom for a long time or we just got drunk really fast today, because they are now lying on the floor. My brows furrowed when I didn't notice Wyatt there.

I immediately entered the room to get dressed. I was about to turn on the light when I felt someone hug me from behind. I gulped before I finally turned the lights on.

"Aiden~" I can hear his deep breath and I can feel his hot breath through my neck. "Hmm... Aiden," he called me again. He hugged me even tighter.

"W-Wyatt?" I removed his hand around my waist and I faced him. I held both of his cheeks and tried to lift his head. He looked wasted.

"Aiden..." He called, while his eyes were still closed.

"Y-Yeah, I'm here," I responded.

He opened his eyes, "Can I claim my award now? Hmm?"

"Huh?" That's all I could answer.

Claim his reward? Don't tell me...

"You promised me!" He pouted, "You said if I win in track and field you will let me kiss you."

"Oh..." I averted my eyes. My heart started pounding like crazy. Damn it. So, he remembers, huh?

"Can't I?"

"Just once," I turned to him.

He smiled, "Okay."

He leaned his face closer to me until I felt his lips touching mine. I thought it would just end there but I was wrong. He moved his lips and seemed like he wanted to eat me alive. I flinched when he touched my ass. I pushed him because I was surprised. I can feel how hot my face is right now.

I covered my lips and looked away, "T-That will be fine. That's enough. Let's go to sleep, Wyatt."
