Aubrey: B-but....what if it hurts me again?
Claude: It will not. I promise you that. You can stay in my room the whole night okay?
Aubrey: Okay...
He smiled softly and kissed her forehead.
Claude: Wanna go do something before I go?
She nodded. And just like that, they were at the park. Enjoying the fresh air and the beautiful view. Loving each and every moment. Aubrey has her head leaned on his shoulder. While they were holding hands.
Aubrey: I love this. It takes my breath everytime.
Claude: Like how you take my breath everytime I see you.
Aubrey: Oh stop it. You see me everytime.
Claude: Which is exactly my point.
Aubrey and Claude laughed. Claude sighed heavily. She noticed that he was looking upset.
Aubrey: Claude?
Claude: Yes My Lady?
Aubrey: Are you okay? You look upset for some reason.
Claude: I am fine My Lady.
Aubrey: Are you sure? I do not want you sad today. It is a pretty good day.
Claude: I just...have a lot of things in my plate. It is a bit hard to handle but....maybe I can manage.
Aubrey: Care to share?
Claude: Maybe next time. I am not really ready to open up yet.
Aubrey: Okay. Tell me when you feel like it okay?
Claude nodded and smiled softly at her. She smiled back and leaned her head back on his shoulder.
???: What a lovely coincidence!
They both looked at the person that spoke and saw Brian. Claude rolled his eyes and released a soft 'ugh' sigh.
Aubrey: Oh Brian hi!
Brian: Lovely to see you here.
Aubrey: It sure is. What are you doing here?
Brian: Oh, bought a flower for my mother. Today's her birthday.
Aubrey: Oh really? Happy birthday to her.
Brian: Right. *Chuckles* Actually she told me to send this to you guys. I was actually about to send it to the mailman to send it to you but....guess I do not have to anymore.
Brian gave the two mail to them. They took it and Aubrey opened it.
("Dear Aubrey:
I am happy to invite you to my birthday today.
Come at my place for an amazing day.
Come at 3:00!
See you soon~
By: Victoria Howard.")
Aubrey: We will be happy to.
'Ugh fuck....'
Claude cursed in his mind.
Brian: Well! Shall we go then?
Aubrey: Sure. Let's go Claude?
He looked at her with unsureness. But the excited smile on her face was too hard to even resist. So he sighed heavily and nodded.
Claude: Fine.
Aubrey squealed happily and took his hand and stood up. Brian lead the way and they walked into the car and got in.
