[Bonus chapter] You Rascal!

"Good morning!" 

Adriana greeted enthusiastically as she presented a plate of breakfast to Aiden. She gently placed the tray on a nearby coffee table beside Aiden's sofa and bent down before she shook him gently to wake him up. 

Her heart was in her mouth, as her hands slowly came into contact with Aiden. She didn't know how he would respond or what he would even say about being woken up in that manner. 

The rhythm of her heartbeat could best be described as being chaotic. She could have easily died if she was a hypertension patient. Without knowing what response she'll get from him, she only went with the flow. 

She watched him with hopeful eyes while shaking him gently to wake him up. "Aiden.. Aiden.. Wake up…" only for Aiden to open his eyes subtly and watch her towering above him.
