Aiden and Evan 👆

EVELINE KNIGHT

It has been almost two weeks now since I last saw Xander. He would come home late and I would leave early. And the rest of the night I would spend in my room. Maria told me that he doesn't even have his breakfast in the morning not even the coffee I made. Last Saturday and Sunday I spent alone in my room watching movies. I think tomorrow also I have to do the same. Tomorrow is Saturday my day off. Yay!

Why don't you sound happy girl?

Because I don't want to spend one more Saturday locked in my room.

Next day I woke up early but I didn't wanted to see him. So I kept rolling on the bed from one side to the other. When it was 9 am I finally decided to go down. I went directly to the kitchen. I saw Maria.

"I am starving right now can you please serve the breakfast." I said her and she chuckled.

"Wait I'll just give him a call."

Him? Who is this 'him' now?

"Alexander she is already here come fast and have the breakfast."

Wait. Alexander.

HELL NO.

"X-Xander? But it's Saturday he must be in office right?"

"Yes but he took a day off."

"D-day o-off?"

"Ya it's unbelievable I know but I guess you are changing that stubborn kid."

And I was starving myself in the room hoping that he would go to his office.

Sorry my poor stomach.

Maria placed two plates on the aisle. Xander came from the living room taking a seat beside me.

Can't he just take his food to the dining table?

"Oh I forgot." Maria said rubbing her temple with her hands. "I have some work I'll just come."

With that she left. Now it was just me and the devil. I was eating my food looking down not even glancing at him for once. I could feel his gaze on me.

This is so awkward.

"Are you still angry with me?" he said finally breaking the awkward silence.

Happy realization Mr. Arrogant Knight.

"Ev I am talking to you."

I know that I just don't want to tolerate another mood swing of yours.

"Ev look at me." I didn't and just kept eating my breakfast.

"Fine don't talk. As if I am dying to talk to you."

Oh believe me you are.

"So your parents and mine too they'll be coming tonight for dinner. They have something to talk about. They told that they will talk about it when they meet us. So I invited them."

Wow he knows so many things and I know nothing. Are they my parents or his? They didn't tell me anything.

We were having breakfast in silence when they doorbell rang. Xander went to open the door. I too went to the living room and saw Evan and Aiden entering.

What are they doing here?

I glared at Evan.

"You had something to discuss Alex." Aiden said.

Alex? How familiar is this guy with him? That day they were acting like they have met for the first time.

Oh you were looking at them I thought you were busy giving 'I am watching you' looks to Anna.

Shut up.

"Oh yes I'll just bring the files." Xander went upstairs to bring the files. Aiden saw me and gave a smile I smiled back. He came towards me "Eveline nice to meet you again."

"Ya you too." I replied.

"I think you are wondering that why am I here and calling him Alex when we are just business partners. Well I am friends with both of them."

"Oh now that makes sense."

"Ev I need your help." Suddenly Evan said standing up from his seat.

"What?" I asked. While Xander came back with a file in his hand.

"I need your help to convince Cassandra."

"After cheating on her hell no." I snapped.

"Ev he didn't cheat on her. Will you let him explain?" Xander said and I remained silent.

Remember I wasn't talking to him.

"Yes Ev it was all just a misunderstanding." Evan said again.

"Cass is not blind Evan she saw you kissing another girl that too on your date."

"I know I am not saying that she is blind it's just that she misunderstood things. Let me explain once please Ev."

"Fine." I said crossing my arms over my chest.

He then explained his side of the story to me. My eyes widened. Evan doesn't know Cass she is not going to believe this story. I can see that he was saying the truth that he was guilty his eyes were showing that but convincing Cass with this one a very big no.

"Evan I don't have anything to say. I don't think you can convince Cass with this one. She won't believe you."

"That's why I am asking for your help Ev." He then made his way towards me held my hands in his. "Please Ev help me. I have been trying to convince her for two weeks but she is just not ready to listen to me. She is not answering my calls, messages. When I wait for her to come back from work she changes the way."

"I think you should give up. She is not easy at all." I said.

"I can't Ev. I have thought about it many times but I can't. She is not like the other girls I have dated Ev she is really different."

"I can't think of anything Evan. All I can say is just keep trying if you really want to apologize."

"I am trying." He then covers his face with both his hands rubbing it and sits on the couch. "She is not ready to listen to me. I am tired of convincing her."

"Oh that's really a big problem. I was there with him once and let me tell you that girl is a tough one."

"You are such an idiot." Xander said sitting beside Evan. "Evan if you love someone you shouldn't get tired of convincing her. Just do everything you can so that she will not be able to say no. If you stop trying that means you don't love her. So Evan Black let's see what all things you can do to get her back."

Is this really the Alexander Knight I know? He seems to be a complete different person now.

Evan got up and hugged him. "I knew this would be the best idea to come to you. Man you always manage to calm me down. I love you so much." I was smiling looking at them.

"Okay that's it now go and keep trying." Xander said pulling away from him.

"So here take these files and go through them. If there's any problem tell me by the evening." Xander said to Aiden giving him the file.

"Evening? No I can't I'll inform you tomorrow." Aiden replied.

"Why not today?" Evan asked.

"Actually I have a date tonight. So have to prepare things." Aiden said scratching the back of his neck. "She is a special one."

"Special one? Someone is special for you? Dude that's unbelievable." Evan said.

"That Cass girl I guess she is different for you. So Anna is different for me too." Aiden said a bit irritated.

Wait. Did he just say Anna?

"Anna. Nice name." Evan said playfully hitting his arm.

"Anna? As in Mr. Maestri's daughter." I asked.

"Yes it's her." he replied.

"I knew it. I so knew it that there is something going on between you two. I asked her so many times she didn't tell me. She is so dead now."

"Wo girl calm down I have a date tonight with her."

"Okay fine I'll kill her after your date."

"Be careful man dates are dangerous." Evan warned Aiden with a sad look on his face.

Poor Evan.

Evan then came towards me "I know sometimes he acts like a complete jerk but trust me he is really a nice person. Don't give up on him." Evan whispered pointing at Xander. I giggled.

"Bye Ev." Evan said.

"See ya Eveline." Aiden said.

"Bye Evan. Bye Aiden." I said waving.

Xander then turned to face me. "What did Evan say?"

Again I am not talking to him. So I went back to my room without answering his question.

During the lunch time I completely ignored Xander he was continuously saying something but I kept eating my food. Finally getting irritated from my behavior he got up from his seat and went to his room.

As if I care.

When it was 6 in the evening I decided to get dressed up as our parents were coming over for dinner.

It was 7 pm when the doorbell rang I ran down I knew it would be Mom and Dad. It's been so long since I last saw them. Xander had already opened the door and was talking to them. He was dressed in his casuals.

I ran and hugged Mom.

"Mom I missed you so much." I said still hugging Mom tightly.

"Oh baby I missed you too. Without you the house feels so empty."

"So now both of you are gonna act like I am not here." Dad said crossing his arms over his chest. I ran to Dad and hugged him.

"I can never do that to my Dad. I missed you."

"My princess I missed you a lot more than your mother." Dad said kissing on top of my head.

Then I pulled away from Dad.

"Am I not going to get a hug?" Mrs. Knight said. I giggled and hugged her too.

"Let's sit and talk. We have some important matter to discuss with the two." Mr. Knight said.

We all sat then Mr. Knight asked "How are you both doing?"

"Good Dad." I replied with a smile.

What a liar.

"Hope you both are getting along well." My Dad asked.

"Yes we are." Xander said looking at me and I looked away.

"Since it has been a while now both of you got married so we have decided that both of you should go on a vacation." My Dad said.

"Vacation?" Xander asked raising his eyebrows.

"Well you can call it your honeymoon."

My eyes widened. No way.

"Just for a week. You both will be able to spend time together."

A week alone with Mr. Arrogant Knight in some unknown place.

I'll die.

------------------------------------------------------

Hmm.... Honeymoon. Sounds interesting.

Excited?

Will Evan be able to convince Cass?

Can't say because it's Cass.
