Alana novel Chapter 66

Alana's POV

"I'm here!" Trina screams and Aiden rolls his eyes. He was shirtless, cleaning the stove while I swept and I grinned.

"Hello, baby!" I jump on her and she falls under my weight.

"Jeez." She wheezes and I stand.

"Where's James?" I ask as she stands and she shrugs.

"Am I his keeper? I'll be in my room unpacking."

"Uh, you said sleepover," I state raising an eyebrow.

"I didn't say how long I was going to sleep over." She winks leaving and I sigh.

"You did this." Aiden points at me and I gape.

"Hey! You encouraged me."

"No, I didn't."

"Yes, you did!" I stomp my foot and cross my arms grumpily and he chuckles walking over to me.

"Alright, I guess I did." He pulls me to him and I turn my head while he tries to kiss me. He just lays kisses all over the side of my face and neck, anywhere he could and I end up giggling.

"Okay okay." I move away smiling and he gives me a flat face. "What?" He points to his lips and I sigh, standing on my toes and planting a kiss on his lips.

"I expect more later." He winks slapping my butt and I chuckle.

"Of course you do."

"Babe I just don't think that's how it goes," I tell Aiden as he tries to squeeze a whole lemon into the salad.

"Shh, I got this baby." He pecks my lips and I roll my eyes raising both palms.

"Where's James?" I ask him and he eyes me.

"Why are you so intrigued with him?"

"Are you jealous babe?" I tease and he snorts.

"No. I'm just asking..."

"I don't know." He shrugs.

"Trina's just locked in her room. And I'm lonely. I need attention!" I lay myself dramatically against the counter and I can hear him chuckle. The tap runs and closes. Soon, he's lifting my shirt, placing kisses up my stomach.

"Ever wanted to experience sex in the kitchen?" He smirks and I snort.

"We have a guest."

"You've used that one already."

"Babe no." I move and he whines. "Damn boy, just keep it in your pants." He rolls his eyes and I giggle, smacking his butt.

He turns, stunned as he points the spatula at me.

"I'm here!" James announces barging through.

"Let's make a cake." He says rubbing my legs and I raise an eyebrow. "Y'know, so maybe I could cover you in icing and-"

"Oh my gosh!" I block my ears and he chuckles. "I think I'm gonna call my dad." He nods, letting me go and I grab my phone.

"Hello?" Rings his rusty voice.

"Hey...dad."

"Oh! Alana!" He chirps and I smile.

"How's everything?" I ask him.

"Well...they said I'll be just fine, I got it done in time and everything's okay. I'll be released in a few days."

"That's great," I say truthfully and it gets quiet.

"Thank you..." He says. "I don't deserve it...but you helped me anyway."

"You're welcome."

"Have you...have you made a decision?" He asks, almost afraid and I gulp.

"Yea..." My voice is hoarse. "I don't think I'll be able to um...I don't think I can start  over I would rather us...go our separate ways." I hear his heavy breathing.

"I understand...can I see you one more time before I leave?" He asks and I nod as if he can see me, tears pricking my eyes.

"Yes." My voice cracks. "I'll be there tonight. Don't expect me early though." I state looking at James as he sits on Aiden. Aiden immediately gets up falling off his chair startled and I smile, holding back a laugh.

"I'll see you then..."
