Chapter 31

A few more days passed and Darren did what he said, he was the one who took care of what I was going to wear and even the shoes I was going to wear, he was the one who provided. I have to admit, I like what's going on in my life but why do I feel like any time later I'm going to go back to where I was before where I'm going to be hurt again?

Today is the day of their party according to Darren, which is today-Friday. These past few days he always texts me if I have eaten or slept well and other sweet messages. I have to admit, I'm very happy because you know that it's like I'm in a dream that I don't want to wake up from.

"You're still not sure if you're really in his heart?" I just kept my head down while listening to what Aiden was saying. He was the one I called since Akia didn't want to talk to me, maybe she just felt bad for me because I didn't tell her the truth. But can you blame me? Even I don't know the truth.

"I want to say that I'm sure, but I'd be lying if I said that. I see boyfriend material in him, but am I this blind to not notice everything? I feel that until now Chiara is still the flesh of his heart and mind even if I'm with him" I didn't notice that my tears fell one by one. I feel sorry for myself crying like this.

"You know, that doesn't mean that what you feel is the truth, you know you just believed what you felt rather than what your mind knew?" I couldn't help but look up and look at Aiden. He wasn't looking at me but was just looking at the distance.

"Aiden.."

"You know, Des, just by looking at you like that makes me remember someone." I was quiet and watched him. Could it be that he remembers his ex?

"He is someone that I promised myself that I will keep and as long as I live and I will not let him hurt him because since our parents died, I saw how much he was hurt." while he said that, his tears fell one by one. Sometimes he wipes it away but it's like a waterfall that can't run out of tears.

"And you know what, If I can travel time I will hug her with all my love. I will tell her 'Big brother won't leave you so don't be afraid'" she sobbed causing me to just hug her. And for reasons I don't know, I feel like I'm crying myself.

"But I didn't do that thing because even though I knew my brother would be hurt, I just let him do what he wanted. I love my brother too much to stop him from loving someone he's not sure if he loves him or not" then When he said that, Aiden turned to me with his eyes full of sadness. I don't understand why he can look at me like that.

I wanted to ask but I couldn't because when Aiden hugged me, my tears fell like a lobster. And I felt something, the feeling that you miss something but you can't identify what it is.

While Aiden is crying now, I am confused by what I feel, I know in myself that I am not his brother but why do I seem to feel the pain that Aiden is feeling?

After the incident earlier, I thanked and said goodbye to Aiden to go home and get dressed. While I was wearing the cocktail dress that Darren gave me, I couldn't forget what I was feeling earlier and also that I might not be the one to take over Darren's heart.

"Son, are you okay?" I immediately turned to the door when Mama spoke.

"Your pick-up is already in the living room" I combed my hair for a while and then looked at myself in the mirror again.

"On its way"

After I said that, I left my room and went to the living room and saw Darren sitting on the sofa. I suddenly felt shy so I turned and didn't notice that Darren had approached me.

"Oh, why are you shy? Don't you like your clothes?" I immediately looked up and shook my head.

"No, I like that dress with a touch of black on the white" and then I just smiled. I want to hide my shyness but it looks like I can't hide it because it's obvious from my face.

"What, let's go?" I saw him smiling. That smile I envy him showing Chiara.

I turned to Mom and Dad and saw that they were both smiling. They nodded and said we could leave so I went to Mama and hugged them tightly. It's a group hug.

"Thank you"

"That's okay, son. Hehe, Enjoy the night" Papa said smiling so I hugged him tightly. "Yes, Dad"

After saying goodbye, we left the house and got into Darren's car. And he started driving. We had a conversation until we reached the hotel.

This is it... Maybe tonight I'll find out if I'm really in his heart or if it's just Chiara.
