Aiden walked towards Lydia, a grin stretched onto his face. "Hey Lydia." He said, tapping her shoulder, then raised his arm, placing it onto the locker next to him.
"Aiden." She replied, a small smile planted on her face. "I was thinking you could come over tonight. My parents are out, so we have the house all to ourselves." Lydia smirked, giving Aiden a teasing smile, as she wrapped her arms around Aiden's neck, tracing his neck with her fingers.
"That sounds great. But I really want to talk to you about something." Aiden replied nervously, his expression hardening.
"What is it?" Lydia asked, tilting her head to the side in confusion, bringing her arms back to her side .Ever since Lydia found out that Aiden was alive, and not dead, she realized that she really cared about him. They had grown closer. Hopefully whatever he had to say wasn't bad, Lydia thought.
"Do you forgive me?" Aiden asked, his eyes widening.
"…For?' Lydia replied, as she scrunched her eyebrows in confusion. Her boyfriend hadn't done anything wrong. Or had he? Questions swirled through her mind as she waited for Aiden to explain.
"For.. Everything. Being apart of the alpha pack. For hurting everyone around you. For helping him." Aiden said, snarling as he said 'him'. He'd wondered whether Lydia still cared about those things, or if she still carried anger in her because of what he and his brother, Ethan, had done.
"Are you kidding me?" Lydia wrapped her arms around her boyfriend, bringing him closer to her. She looked into Aiden's eyes. "Aiden, do you think I would be with you if I still cared about that? Do you think that matters to me? I mean I…" She took a moment to find the right words. "I love you." She spoke, her arms shaking. "I love you, Aiden."
Aiden smiled joyfully, wrapping his arm's around Lydia's waist. "I love you too, Lydia." He let out a relieved laugh, pulling Lydia into a hug. "I love you, I love you, I love you." He repeated in a soft tone, the effect of the words finally hitting him.
Lydia's blushed. She let out a small squeal, excitement splashing all over her. She pulled out of the hug, cupping Aiden's face. "You are amazing, alright?"
"And you were worth it." He said, in a hushed tone, gazing at Lydia.
Lydia blushed, returning a small smile. "Now, class starts soon, so I have to go.But, you are coming over tonight so I'll see you then." She reached over, and kissed Aiden.
