Thursday
It took about 20 minutes to reach Aiyden's house. When I tell you I've never been more intimidated by something. Now don't get me wrong, my house is enormous, but this bitch is overly gigantic. It's like it's own wing of the White House.
After I finish fan-girling, I get out of my car and walk over to the front door. I raise my hand to ring the doorbell, but before I could, this tall, beautiful, black, elderly woman greets me at the door.
"Hi, um I'm Egypt." I say awkwardly "I know," she says laughing, " Aiyden told me you would be arriving shortly." "You must be Celeste?" I ask as she leads me through the kitchen and into the living room. "Yes I am! But you can just call me Cel. I'll be here until 8, so feel free to come get me whenever. Also, feel free to make yourself at home."
And with that she turned and walked back into the kitchen. I didn't want to be a bother so I decided to just get the stuff together for our project, and wait for Aiyden. About 10 minutes later I heard the door open followed by the sound of car keys. I overhear Ms. Celeste and Aiyden talking. I couldn't make out their whole conversation, but I could make out a few sentences.
"He's in the living room dear.", "You have a cutie on your hands!", "I don't want to mess this one up.", and "I really like him." Was all I could make out before Aiyden walked in with the food and a couple of plates and cups.
"So I take it you've met Celeste?" He says as he sits down "Yea, she's actually very nice. She like works for you or something?" I ask, not knowing if she was a maid or something. "Nah," he says dryly, "She just likes doing things around here. My siblings and I consider her family. She used to work for my grandpa when my dad was young, but my dad technically let her go after my grandpa died. She just decides to come back when my parents leave." "And why do your parents just up and leave?" I asked while taking a bite of my pizza. "They work for some type of pharmaceutical company. They travel all year round." "They own it?" I ask "Yep, my dad inherited it from his dad." "Well I guess that explains the house." I say sarcastically "Well what does your parents do?" He asked stopping and looking at me "Oh, they kinda do the same thing I guess. Just not legally." I say looking away embarrassed. "Oh, you mean like drugs, like sell drugs?" "Yea." I say "I mean we all have to make money some way." He says shrugging his shoulders. "But enough of that, I can tell it's a tough topic."
He then took a final bite of his pizza and decided to start on the project. After about an hour and a half, we had finally finished our project.
"You have to rush off?" Aiyden asked while getting up to throw our trash away "Nah." I say once he walks back in the living room. "Well you wanna watch a movie?" "Sure, but only if it's scary." "Like "US" scary or "A QUIET PLACE" scary? "Like "The Conjuring" scary." I reply
He finds the movie, but before he plays it, he tells me to go look in the hall closet and get some blankets, while he goes and gets the snacks. After we had gotten everything, he turned the lights off and began the movie. About thirty minutes in I noticed him getting scared.
"You good?" I asked "Yea, I'm fine" He said while slightly hiding behind one of the couch pillows. "Sure," I say snickering, "You wanna come lay over here?"
He slowly nodded his head then grabbed his blanket and slid closer to me. I parted my legs so that he could lay his head on my stomach. He placed his head on my stomach and the warmth of his body calmed nerves that I didn't even notice. We stayed in that position for another 30 minutes before we both fell asleep.
