Auria's POV

I was watching a movie in Zaiden's room before he called informing me that he'll be late he must be working overtime or something but since he wasn't home all day I was really missing him and I wanted to be engulfed by his warm bed that obviously was nothing but his strong sent of gardenia.

A bit much if you ask me but I love the way he smells hence why I'm here in the first place. And since he has just warned me to go eat I decided to do that. I got off his bed and paused the movie.

I walk down stairs heading to the indoor cinema as I wanted to go get Pringles, Gen seems to have figured that I like them so she just had to make it a priority to get them as I spend most of my days down there watching movies and eating pringles.

Once I got there I picked a cheddar cheese Pringle and got a fruit juice box, immediately starting at my Pringles walking out of the room and into the hall. I took one out biting it as the cheesey sensation hits my taste buds and I let out a small moan of satisfaction.

I was about to head upstairs before the door bell rings so I go to open it instead "I'll get it!" I shout so Gen doesn't bother herself. Once I got there holding my snacks in my left hand I pull the door open to be met with a well dressed blonde girl she was taller than I was so I had to kinda look up at her, her blue eyes looked sad but firm as she looks back at me making me a bit insecure as I was only wearing a oversized tee and shorts and Zaiden's socks.

"Oh, hi Chloe" Gen says from behind me knocking me back to reality "hi, is Zaiden here?" she asks walking passed me and I stepped back a bit surprised "no, but would you like to wait for him?" Gen offered and the blonde nods so she leads her to the living room I guess as they were going in that direction.

Uhm okay I guess...I scratched my head walking back to Zaiden's room and getting comfortable once more in his bed and playing the movie which I was honestly not going to pay much attention to.

All was going on in my head was an attack of questions I wanted to know who she was and why was she asking after Zaiden. I mean call me nosey but that's not the case I'm just a curious cat sometimes.

After I've finished my Pringles and juice I tried focusing on the movie but soon enough it slowly got blurred out and everything became silent as I fell into a deep sleep.

********

I stir a bit hearing voices so I blink awake as I didn't know what was going on. I sat up in the bed crossing my legs and rubbing the sleep away from my eyes just as the door opens and in walk Zaiden with the same blonde girl from before trailing behind him.

"Please I j-just needed to talk to you" she says sounding as if she was or is crying. Zaiden turns around and came eye to eye with me and I gave him a confused look as he looks at me sadly and sighs.

That's weird... "will you at least hear me out?" she asks as if she hasn't recognized my presence. I didn't want to interfere with there matters so I got off the bed putting my trash in the bin in the corner of the room and gave him a small smile but he only turns to look at the other girl so I sigh walking pass both of them exiting the room without a word.

I got to my room and decide on going to have a bath so I could relax a bit. I went straight for the bathroom and got the bath running getting some bubble bath solution in there then getting my book from the night stand I got back to the bathroom and stripped from my clothes and got in.

Once I did that my body immediately felt soothed and I relaxed laying my head on the back of the tub to get as comfortable as possible. This feels good I'd have to admit as it's the next best thing to eating Pringles literally.

I soon picked my book and started reading soon enough finishing the chapter and I decided to get out the tub as I was getting cold, it must be late as I was here for quite sometime now.

I stood from the tub draining it and grabbed a towel wrapping it around my body and got out drying myself and doing a little hygiene routine before walking out and heading straight to the closet, I got a pajama that had little plants on it and got dressed then brushed my hair and put it into a messy bun as usual.

Once I got finished I decided to go see if Zaiden was done with whatever he was doing so we could go have dinner. I walk out of my room going down the poorly lit hall way to Zaiden's room. I knocked and there wasn't any answer so I decided to push the door open and once I did I just stood in place staring at them blankly.

They were both cuddled up in each others arms sleeping and Zaiden wasn't wearing a shirt he has the covers half way up stopping just where his abs were and the blonde girl has her hand over him but I couldn't tell if she's naked or not as she has the blanket all the way up covering her completely.

I walked out closing the door behind me and went back to my room. I close and lock the door behind me heading to bed and got in as a rain of tears came rushing out for hours on end. I don't even know why I'm crying it's not like we're anything official like dating or whatever...get it together Auria...

******

I woke up to my phone ringing and I groan as my head was throbbing with pain. I grabbed it to see it's Zalia so I answered and here comes her cheery voice.

"Good morning Ari" she says happily "good morning" I say my voice low and hoarse "hmm, what's wrong?" she ask and I cleared my throat before speaking "nothing, I just woke up that's all" I said truthfully but it was still a lie because something was definitely wrong but I wasn't gonna say anything when it could all be in my head.

"Okay, I just wanted to check up on you because I'm gonna be a bit busy today" she says making me smile as this has become our regular but usually she would call anytime during ten to twelve "I'm fine Zalia " I say in the most convincing tone and it seems she bought it as she spoke once more, "fine, I've gotta go to the gym so I'll let you go now okay, bye love you" she says happily and I bid my goodbye before hanging up.

I checked the time to see it was already 7:30am I was supposed to go gardening with Alejandro today which I was super excited about but I had only half an hour to get ready so I hurriedly got out of bed and went to brush my teeth, I changed into blue jeans and a white oversized tee and slides rushing out and down stairs to the kitchen.

I was met with Gen and I greeted her with a hug and she kissed my head "good morning Gen" I say happily with a warm smile "good morning dear" she says and I pulled away "where's Alejandro?" I ask looking around before a voice came from behind me "I'm here, are you ready?" he asks and I beam up at him while nodding furiously.

Honestly Gen and Alejandro have became a parent figure in my life they really treat me amazingly and I've grown on them so much the past month since I've gotten here.

She's always been there for me and to make sure I'm fine all the time and when I would get sad she would cuddle me and tell me stories about her childhood and I love listening to her, I've gotten to know so much about them it was honestly perfect.

Gen has a son that's 28 and he's in another country working but Alejandro doesn't have a child so he just says I'm his daughter from now on and I couldn't be more happy that he sees me fit to be that I just love them so much.

"little angel you do know that you're wearing white right?" he asks and I look down then nod and he smiles "okay come on then" he says before getting ahold of his gardening tools and walking out, I quickly kiss Gen's cheek "see you later!" I yell running out to catch up with Alejandro and we were on our way to the garden.
