Alan and Isaac finished two bottles of wine while talking before going to bed. Alan who filled the bathtub exited the bathroom saying, "Aria, take..." Then he remembered he sent her back before smiling to himself.
He took bath and went to bed missing her. He felt his villa suddenly became empty and silent without her presence.
It was similar on another side too.
After taking bath, Aria had filled the bathtub out of habit for Alan and remembered after coming out to see the vacant huge bedroom. She dried her hair which was done by Alan in the past two weeks.
She dropped a message to Eva and went to bed holding a cute kawaii cat plushie in her hand which was won by Alan in the claw machine on one of their dates.
Aria had slept keeping her mobile in silent mode ruining Eva's sleep. Eva stared at her mobile seeing the message which Aria had sent her, 'Are you in love or are you falling in love?'
Eva had sent her many messages after it asking why was she asking that, she only loves her to tease etcetera but got no reply.
Aria had sent it because she had seen Eva being attentive to Isaac while dinner similar to how she takes care of Aria. The latter never saw her that attentiveness to Rian or Noah. Her expression didn't show anything but her actions were enough for Aria.
Isaac tossed on the bed for a long time before falling asleep. He wasn't sure about what to do. He didn't want to take any step wrong as Eva was Aria's friend who was Alan's girl. If anything goes wrong, he couldn't face Aria and he might have to avoid Alan so he was trying to be very careful.
He also realized advising Alan was easier than being in that position and Alan was really daring who proposed without knowing whether Aria likes him or not.
--
The next day morning everybody got back to their routine. Eva tortured Aria for sending such a message. Since Eva said she doesn't like anybody, Aria responded she asked for herself why she was overreacting.
In the canteen during lunch, all heard a commotion and turned towards the entrance to see Alan entering wearing sunglasses looking suave with two guards behind who were holding two big insulated cooler boxes
Aria's classmate including Eva, Rian, and Noah cheered loudly saying, 'Prince is here to steal our goddess.'
Aria checked her mobile which had no message or calls. She didn't know why he came.
Aria craned her neck when Alan stood behind her. He couldn't help let his lips tilt up seeing her blankly look at him occasionally batting her lids waiting for him to speak.
He rubbed her head as his bodyguards kept the box on their table and dispersed other students. Alan looked at the class representative Noah wood, "I bought ice cream for you guys. Enjoy."
Noah checked to see nearly fifty plus icecreams for the whole class as the whole class looked at Alan who took an ice cream cup before taking Aria out holding her hand in front of all.
Eva nudged Rian in astonishment, "Why were you lying in the past that Prince is Hitler. Even I'm getting envious of my wife. Awww My Fragile Heart."
Noah peeked between them, "Evvie, Prince is actually a tyrannical dictator. This is all because of Our goddess."
Rian held his poor heart, "Guys I need time to digest... Crap... Is he really my brother? No, No there must be some misunderstanding..."
Rian was the one who was more shocked than Eva. He knew Alan would dote on Aria but he didn't know to that extent because he never cared to spend even little time sitting and talking during office hours and would always say as a waste of time, now he left his work and lunchtime to meet Aria.
The whole class enjoyed double ice creams as other class enviously looked at them licking their lips.
Aria sat on the car bonnet as he fed her ice cream and she teasingly asked. "Why are you here?"
Alan glared at her who was controlling her laughter.
Aria took off his sunglasses and wore it waiting for the response. Hearing no response and she knew the answer, she changed the question, "Did you eat?"
Again hearing no response, Aria got down, "Don't talk. I'm going."
Alan gave up and pulled her back before making her sit, "I will, after going back to the office."
Aria punched him, "Eat on time... Shall we go for dinner? I want to try Mexican cuisine."
Alan smiled resignedly and hummed, "Do you know anything other than eating?"
Aria openly said it, "Of course! You are missing me and I'm making it up with dinner." She giggled pointing at his face which had turned a shade of red.
Alan pinched her cheek until she scolded him and rubbed her cheek.
Aria spoke to lighten his mood, "Yesterday I had filled my bathtub for you after my bath. The morning I was searching for the washing machine in the bathroom to realize I wasn't in the villa..."
She said whatever she repeated in the morgan mansion until Alan chuckled, "So my little wife started to miss me from the night itself."
Aria pouted pitifully as she hummed seeing Alan's smile.
Both spoke for sometime before he left for office and Aria returned to the classroom covering her ears as all were singing 'Price stole Our Goddess.'
The school forum was flooded with pictures and comments to the extent Aria was called to the office room by Emma on pressure.
Aria had loudly defended herself and Alan saying 'Why can't a guardian take care of ward?' then whispered to Emma saying, 'Prince and Goddess are actually together.'
Emma was tongue-tied looking at Aria seeing her sweet smile. She looked around at other teachers and coughed lightly before speaking, "These students do whatever they want. Anyway, Arrie, take care. Don't take them to heart."
Emma sounded like the posts were misleading and disturbing Aria so that other teachers don't create a scene or trouble Aria in the class.
Aria smiled at her, "Thank you, Teacher Emma." She nonchalantly left to the class ignoring all others.
After school, Nathan picked Aria to the Skyline Industries where Alan was in a meeting. By the time he finished meeting Aria finished her school work in his office.
Both went to a restaurant and were having dinner, a girl who they were almost forgetting entered hurriedly in a waitress dress.
