CHAPTER 13

ALICE'S P.O.V

It's been two weeks since I came to Aiden’s Home, after the incidentwith Andrew, he has barely been home while Lily has come closer to me even Kateand I got on well together and coming to Aiden, my feelings are growing day byday, I like him now and NO I didn’t let anyone know my feelings. But somehow Kateis aware of my feelings and she promised not to tell him until I’m ready.

Andrew’s father is still mad at him and his mom is worried for her elder son,Mary she sometimes reminds me of my mom.

At present I’m getting for college. Yeah Aiden said we can continueour college here with Kate. When Kate heard this she was very happy but Aidenwas jealous since Kate wasn’t giving him any chance to be with me.

Well I'm glad for that since I’m able to hide my feelings but I do miss him.

"Alice are you ready yet?" Kate's voice snapped meback from my thoughts. "yeah I'm coming" I yelled back as I looked atmyself one more before I went downstairs where Aiden and Kate were havingbreakfast while Mary was feeding lily.

"good morning sweetie" Mary said. "good morningMary and good morning my cutie pie" I kissed lily and sat beside Kate, "haveyour breakfast dear" Mary said "thank you" I smiled and startedeating my pancakes.

"oh God I'm so excited that you are coming to my college.We are going to rule it baby" Kate winked making me laugh. "come onyou two we are getting late" Aiden said pulling us both outside.

We waved our goodbye to lily and Mary as we followed Aiden to his car, in whichwe drove to college.

As soon as we entered the building I could feel everyone's eyeson me which made me uncomfortable, I was shivering I'm not used to these newthings "its ok I'm here" Aiden whispered to make me feel good andheld my hands gaining more stares from everyone.

We headed to the office "excuse me Ms. Adams we are here to get ourschedules" the lady who looks like she’s in her 30's looked at us with asmile "ah Mr. Winston and Ms. Williams" she said and we nodded inconfirmation. She quickly went through her desk and got our schedules out

"here there are, welcome to your new college, have a nice day you two"we thanked her with a smile and walked out with our schedules.

"oh, looks like you are stuck with me Alice" Aidensmiled looking at our schedules we have most of our classes together. "mypoor luck" I pouted. "Aiden..." I heard someone scream andglanced over to find two people along with Kate were walking towards us.

"Yo man how are you" the boy with blonde hair huggedAiden "great man and how are you Sammy" Aiden smirked at the girlbeside Kate who was looking at me with a smile but as soon as she heard Aidencalling her Sammy her smile dropped and she glared at him making him chuckle andhug her “I missed you too my annoying cousin” She sighed and hugged him backbut kicked his leg before letting go of him “don’t call me that again jerk”.

"well who's this chick" asked the blonde boy glancingat me and once again the attention was back on me, "umm Hi I'm Alice" I replied slowly trying to calm my nerves, "stop flirting youjerk" said the girl and turned to me with a smile.

"Alice I'm sorry for this jerk. By the way he’s Blake our friend and she’sSummer my cousin and Blake's girlfriend" said Kate. "Hi" I greetedthem both "you look so cute" Summer smiled widely before pulling meto a hug "thank you" I smiled hugging her back " we are going tobe best friends call me Sam" she said as we pulled away.

"ok boys we will leave now and Aiden I'm talking Alice with me. Try not tomiss her" Kate teased him and pulled me with her.

We rushed to our classes as I have my morning classes with Kateand Sam and afternoon with Sam, Aiden and Blake.

So now you see I'm preoccupied with these people. Classes went by normal andeverything was great till now.

At the lunch time we all gathered at Canteen as we all have lunch at a sametime "hey princess, did you miss me" Blake kissed Sam on her cheeksmaking her giggle "oh yes my Prince" she said smiling "oh stopit you too and don't kiss my sis in front of me" Aiden slapped Blake onback of his head making him wince and curse Aiden. "try not to kiss Alicein front of us" Blake winked at me making me choke out my food. "oh,good lord don't scare her Blake" Kate scolded Blake and Aiden was grinningas he glanced at my red face. Oh looks he’s having fun, you wait AidenI'll see you later. I glared athim as we completed our lunch.

After finishing my first official day at college we headed home,Kate left with Sam to go to her place with Blake so Aiden and I went hometogether. On our way to home Aiden got a call from his mom who told us to dosome grocery shopping which he didn't like but agreed after I said I'll helphim. So now we are at grocery store near his house shopping for things we weretold to buy.

As I was putting things in the basket, I heard a familiar voice "Alice? Isthat you". I turned around and saw Nick my friend from my school back home.

"oh my God Nick it’s you" I squealed and hugged him. "well am Imissing something" Aiden came to me and glared at Nick.

"Aiden, he was my brother’s best friend, we used to beneighbours. His name is Nick Carter, and Nick he is Aiden my friend " Iintroduced them to each other.

"it’s nice to meet you Aiden and don't worry dude she's like a sister tome" he winked at me obviously seeing the way Aiden was glaring at him,. Irolled my eyes at him "nice to meet you too Nick and thanks for clearingthat dude" he said smiling at me in relief.

"So what are you doing back here Alice" Nick askedmaking my smile fade out. " shall we talk about it later, me and Aiden arerunning late "I changed the topic. "well Nick we can meet sometime,here take my number call us when you’re free we can catch up" Aiden gavehis number to Nick who was still looking at me "Nick don't worry please,I'm fine, I can't explain everything to you now. Just know that I'm studyinghere with Aiden and also living with his family and I'm safe here Nick" Ismiled and he nodded.

"well then we can meet at college and talk about it. Takecare of her Aiden she's my little sissy" Nick kissed my forehead and leftthe store.

I sighed and went back home with Aiden.

When we reached home, Lily was already sleeping so I went to my room and had abath after changing into my PJ's I laid down on my bed and relaxed a bit, Todaywasn’t bad for a first day at new college.

"are you sleeping already" Aiden asked peeking throughdoor. I shook my head no and sat up on my bed. He came in closing the doorbehind him and sat beside me.

"are you OK?"he asked and I sighed before answering to his question "AidenI'm tired of running" I whispered hoping he would understand and he did.He sighed and slowly hugged me, I relaxed in his arms as he kept rubbing myback.

"can you tell me about your past" he asked gently stroking my hair."I Can't, not yet" he nodded and kissed my forehead "I Canwait" he said.

"Aiden will you leave me after knowing my past" tears welledin my eyes at the thought him leaving me "never Alice, I won't leave youAlice I promise"

"I'm scared Aiden, don't leave me please, I need you"I whispered looking at him. He kept his hands on my Cheeks "I won't Ipromise" he smiled wiping my tears from my Cheeks and kissed them.

I smiled as he looked into eyes and my eyes were looking at his lips. Ohboy I so want to kiss him now. I bit my lip in nervousness.

He chuckled and leaned forward "you're so cute Alice, youhave no idea how much I like you. You make me go crazy" he slightlybrushed his lips on mine.

I shivered at his touch and closed my eyes I could feel him smile against mylips. He leaned in and kissed me slowly, licking my bottom lip asking mepermission to open my mouth. I parted my lips allowing him to deepen the kiss.

We kissed for what seemed like hour until we pulled away to catch our breaths.

"I love you Alice, so so so much" he whispered andkissed me again which I returned with All my love for him.

Yes I love him, so much...
