Chapter 20

Riley

I play with my hands as I sit in the car with Aiden. He’s driving us to his friend Alex’s house, and I have to say, I’m pretty nervous.

I don’t even know why I’m so nervous. I’ve been alone with Aiden before. I know Aiden won’t try anything with me, but still.

“You look scared,” Aiden says, sounding amused.

“I’m not.” I lie.

“Sure,” he says, smirking. “Just relax, Riley.”

I take a deep breath then sigh. It’s been a long day, and I’m already tired. I rest my chin on my hand as I stare out the window.

A few minutes later, I notice we’re entering a familiar neighborhood and I know we’re close to Alex’s house.

“Does Alex live with anyone?” I ask curiously.

Aiden shakes his head. “He used to have a roommate, but that guy got himself a girlfriend and they eventually moved in together. I’m just staying for the time being.”

“How old is he?” I ask.

Aiden taps his chin. “I believe he is going to be twenty-one next month.”

We pull into the familiar driveway and park. We open our doors and get out of the car. Aiden walks a little ahead of me and pulls out a key. He unlocks the front door and holds it open for me.

“After you.” He smirks.

I slowly walk forward and into the house. I don’t know what to expect when I walk in. The outside of the house looks decent, but does the inside look the same?

I glance around and see that the inside is actually pretty nice. There aren’t many decorations, but the place isn’t trashed.

Aiden walks past me and I follow close behind. We walk into what I assume is the living room, where a guy is sitting on the couch watching TV. He looks in our direction and raises his eyebrows.

“Holy shit, I didn’t even hear you guys come in,” he says. He stands up and walks towards us.

Aiden looks at the guy. “Alex, this is Riley. Riley, this is Alex.”

Alex smiles at me and holds out his hand. “Nice to meet you, Miss Riley.”

I shake his hand gently. “You too.”

Alex glances at Aiden then back at me. “I would have cleaned up a little bit if I had known you were coming back with Aiden.”

“It’s fine,” I say shyly. I don’t really do well with meeting new people.

“I’m going to show her around if that’s fine,” Aiden says to Alex.

“Go ahead. Just don’t take her into my room. It’s not exactly clean.” Alex smirks.

Aiden’s hand finds the small of my back and leads me out of the living room. I feel butterflies in my stomach when Aiden’s hand touches me.

We walk into the hallway again and make our way into another room, which is the kitchen.

“My favorite place besides my room.” Aiden smiles. “Where all the food is.”

“Of course.” I laugh.

We walk out and Aiden shows me a small game room with a pool table and an air hockey table, a bathroom, and a small dining room. We then walk down
