I Swear, Let Me Love You Again

Dinner With Aaron And Confessions (1)



LYDIA’S POV.

Dinner With Aaron And Confessions (1)

SAME NIGHT.

As we waited for her to return back from the room, Andrew and I made small talk though by the look on his face, he wanted me out of his house as soon as possible.

“I know you want me to leave already.” He chuckled at my observation, tossing his blue tie to the couch next to him.

“How was your day, Little girl? You only come here when you either want to steal food or have something to share with me but I feel it’s both.” He changed the subject, probably not wanting me to feel bad or like I was interrupting something. Because usually, he would tell me to my face to leave and he wants to have sex or something, he was just always straightforward in unserious situations.

I chuckled softly, “First off, Nathaniel asked me out to dinner and then assumed I was working late, brought me coffee while I was on my way out…. I literally have no idea what he is planning but he shouldn’t even think anything will ever happen between us.”

Andrew did not say anything, he just stared into my eyes. I knew that look all too well, he was reading me and trying to get the depth of what exactly I was feeling.

“That’s not even half of it. Guess who magically arrived at the company tonight?” I cleared my throat before speaking, diverting his mind from Nathaniel and I.

“Who?” He asked curiously, sipping out of his drink.

“Aaron.” His eyes went wide before going confused.

“Aaron, that’s your goofy best friend?” He asked and I laughed, nodded in response.

“Wowww, your day has been eventful.” He chuckled and I rolled my eyes at him.

“Which is why I’m going on a date with Aaron tomorrow.” I informed him and he looked at me knowingly. Before he could utter a single word, Arianna’s footsteps came running down stairs.

“So where were we?” She returned back wearing a long gray shirt which certainly belongs to Andrew. She was genuinely a very pretty girl, with beautiful fair skin and the body any girl would dream to have. Andrew had bagged a very fiesty gem.

“I have to leave now but it’s truly nice to meet you.” I said to her carrying my bag, exhausted from every single thing I did today as well as the conversations and people I had come in contact with. And I wouldn’t like to further interrupt her time with Andrew.

“Aww, that’s too bad. Can I get your number from Andrew? We can probably go out and spend time with each other…lowly though, like away from the media.” She suggested and I nodded affirmatively giving her a welcoming smile.

I was so curious about whose daughter exactly she was and why this was forbidden. I mean she literally looks from a wealthy family and had the best quality education, rather than dwelling on thought, I shook it off and made a mental note to get all the information I needed from Andrew the next day.

I gave her my number and Andrew a side hug before walking back to my room. Andrew gave me a look that stated the conversation wasn’t over yet, I snatched the two bags of chips and bottle of red wine sprinting out and bidding Arianna goodbye one last time.

“Siri, play me any relaxing song.” I said right before hopping into the shower. It was quite relaxing and I hummed softly to the song playing through my in-built speaker, pushing away all my thoughts to the back of mind.

After coming out of the bathroom about fifteen minutes later, my Google assistant announced my phone was ringing. I picked it up with a smile realizing it was no one other than my best friend.

“Yes, Lorena?” I asked in a playful tone, placing my phone on speaker.

“Hey my love. How are you doing? I have some information for you.” She sounded so excited like she couldn’t wait to spill this info.

“Spill it. I’m great by the way, what about you?” I answered wearing my loose-fitted pink pajamas then wore my cute slippers waiting for her to respond.

“I’m good too, boo. Anyways guess what happened during dinner tonight with my parents and cousin.” She began and I was already getting excited for it so I picked up my phone heading downstairs to grab my chips and get comfortable for her to spill it.

“What?” I opened my bag of chips waiting for her to proceed as she was taking her sweet time probably because she was next to Darren or whoever was making her laugh.

“Darren, stop..” She giggled and I rolled my eyes playfully at them.

“Darren, stop whatever it is you’re doing and let my girl spill this tea.” I told him, sounding frustrated and they bursted out laughing.

With my lonely, single self….. sigh.

“Anyways, so during dinner my mum made small conversation like she always does. Macy had informed us she got a big modeling gig and we all congratulated her. She was smiling from ear to ear, and just like in a split second, her face fell and she began to play with her food. Being the most caring cousin I am, I ask, ‘What’s wrong?’. She sobs and begins to break down how Andrew had failed to call her after the dinner, how she felt so unloved and she said in these exact same words and I quote, ‘How does someone as beautiful, having this type of body and great mind as I do, has somehow failed to have a man or even a woman to love and be obsessed with me?”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Lorena and I laughed out loud as she took a pause. Macy was the type of person you would just think about and laugh at, not in a mocking way. She was hilarious and I feel like she did something intentionally just to make you laugh.

“Girl, I literally started choking, it was too funny, my parents were hollering. Macy, who was serious initially, joined in with us. I love my cousin for real.”

“She’s going to find someone who actually loves her, all she needs to do is abstain from revealing her true colors from the get go.” I said and Lorena chuckled.

“So has Aaron approached you yet?” I let out a breath before running down the events of today. She kept gasping throughout the whole story then afterwards she decided we would go shopping for a dress for my date tomorrow night.
