An age gap love story.
A brokenhearted billionaire.
A college girl.

"Nevaeh," Aiden whispers, "can I rest my head on your shoulder?"
I nod, letting him rest his head on my shoulder. He closes his eyes.
"Thank you." He sighs in contentment. "...

I hate this kind of party. A fucking college party. I've never wanted to be reminded of college life, but ever since Nevaeh stayed with me, it has been something that I can't escape.
Fuck. She doesn't even want me to be here.
I hate how weak I am when it comes to her. It's like I want to believe everything, but I'm afraid that nothing even exists in the first place.
I sigh, placing my beer back onto the table with a loud thud.
Wrong choice of drink. I should have a cup of hot chocolate.
"Isn't he Aiden Klein?" A girl exclaims as she passes by.
Her friend immediately stops in her track too. "Oh my God. It's really him."
I can't hear clearly what they say again because of the loud music, but their excitement is all over the air.
I try to not pay attention, but the longer I stay here, the more I feel people's eyes on me. This is what Nevaeh was talking about. She doesn't want anyone to snap a picture of us.
My heart sinks at the thought of never being able to have her in my arms. I don't want to fall into this chaotic mess, but I'm already in it.
My eyes narrow as Nevaeh's friend approaches me. To my surprise, she takes a seat next to me and swallows.
My eyebrows raise. What is she doing here?
"Um... I'm Maya, Nevaeh's friend," she says without looking at me. "I just want to tell you that she's thinking about you."
I turn my head toward Nevaeh, who abruptly tears her gaze away from me. My heart thuds as I notice her cheeks turning pink.
Goddammit.
What Maya said doesn't necessarily mean something good, though. I don't know what Nevaeh is thinking about me.
A frown touches my lips when I see two guys stopping at her table. They say something, and she welcomes their conversation in a friendly manner. They seem to know each other. Maybe they're her classmates.
My expression must have shown something unpleasant, because the next thing Maya says is, "Don't worry. She likes older man."
I freeze. I shift my attention to Maya, and she nods quietly.
