The Love Interest

by Victoria Walters

I tuned out Aiden’s enthusiastic speech about cameras and other high-tech equipment the university had and opened up my textbook.

I love that

‘And anyway, how would you know? You’ve never read Pride and Prejudice.’ ‘Actually, I read it a couple of years ago. After you got drunk at Dan’s birthday party and talked for an hour about what a great book it is.’

Omggggg

Right?

Wrong.

‘Goodnight,’ I said, wondering if he was being completely honest with me.

Hun he very clearly was not...

I shook my head to clear the fog that Aiden seemed to always create in my brain.

I wasn’t sure Jasper could be described as hot, if I was honest.

DAMNNNN

Aiden could always be counted on to stir up a little bit of trouble and I could always be counted on to pretend I didn’t like it, despite loving every minute.

thinking as I always did that kissing in the rain was so romantic. You didn’t care about anything happening around you, or your ruined hair and makeup, because you were swept up in the moment,

Or maybe Aiden thinks this is just for fun, while Dan is away. Maybe he doesn’t want him to find out?’

Girl you know damn well that is NOT how he feels.

Finally, I settled on wide leg trousers, a blouse, heels and my boucle blazer, topping the outfit off with a bag

Ugh youre killing me rn HE SAID CASUAL. Not ugly and fancy.

I breathed in the pretty scent of the rose.

Roses dont have a fragrance

my midi polka dot dress. It was a bit summery for the changing season but I’d thrown a blazer and a pair of boots on with it to help.

ENOUGH PLEASE STOP THIS MADNESS

Everything with Aiden felt so precarious right now. And I had no idea what to do about it.

COMMUNICATE OMFG.
