Alana novel Chapter 67

Alana's POV

"Alright, we're fed, comfy and ready. Let's get this night started!" Trina yells and I grin thinking that she meant we were going to do something but instead she grabbed James and pulled him to the guest room.

"What...just happened?" I ask and Aiden snorts.

"We all know who's doing laundry this week!" He yells standing and I laugh sarcastically.

"You, if it wasn't obvious." I smile and he turns to raise an eyebrow and I stand to mirror his stance.

"Well, you know how we settle this." He crosses his arm and I smirk.

"Prepare to lose!" I let out my battle-cry charging for him and he prepares himself.

Now, I used to fight, we all know this. But I honestly can't beat Aiden for some unknown reason.

He grabs my shoulders, pushing me away as I try to hit him.

"Are you done?" He asks and I send my feet forward, not aiming for his area, but of course. That's exactly where it hit. "Oh my gosh." He falls to his knees and I gape.

"Baby!" I exclaim and he coughs. "I am so sorry."

"Don't you want children?" He asks strained and I can't help but giggle.

"Let me help you up." I grab him arm, and he doesn't make any movements to get himself up, so I drag his heavy body to the couch. I leave him on the floor and walk to get the ice pack.

"Here..." I say and he was seated on the couch when I returned. He narrowed his eyes at me playfully before grabbing the ice pack.

"I can't believe you would do this to me." He says dramatically and I roll my eyes. "I thought you loved me."

"I do."

"No, you don't!" I can't help but laugh as he sighs in relief while placing the icepack. I sit next to him and he moves away.

"Really." I raise an eyebrow.

"I'm not talking to you." He says grumpily.

"But I just-"

"Hmph."

"Babe-"

"Hmph."

"Aiden-"

"Hmmph!" I shut my mouth and he purses his lips to keep laughing from my expression.

"That's fine. I hope you like sleeping with pillows." I stand walking away.

"Trina and James are in the guest room."

"I'm sure they don't mind me sleeping with them!" I answer swinging open their door and I knew they were dating but....

"Already?!" I scream and Trina does the same.

"Hot damn!" James yells frightened as he covers them. Aiden quickly shows up behind me and even he gapes.

"Alana!" Trina yells and I snap out of it.

"I did." I nod and he looks sad.

"I'm going to Atlanta in a few days. I got a job out there." He says.

"That's...that's food. I'm happy for you." I avert my eyes and he frowns.

"I just wanted to see you. To say goodbye for the last time." He sighs and I nod, tears pricking my eyes. "What I did was terrible...I understand why you wouldn't want me around."

"Believe me, I forgive you. But... I can't...I can't have that piece of the last with me. I need to let it go." He nods, gripping my hand and I let him.

"I'm proud of you. You made a life of you're own...you're married. You're exactly the opposite of me and you made yourself. I...I'm really proud of you." He repeats and I wipe the tears from my eyes quickly, standing.

"Thank you...I hope all goes well."

"Goodbye, Alana." He smiles sadly and I avert my eyes to keep from crying.

"Bye, dad."

"Why can't you just tell me where she is?"

Crap.

He's awake.

I'm going to die.

"Because I don't know man!" James answers and I slowly open the door. Aiden turns towards me and he narrows his eyes.

Great.
