Chapter 32

As it turned out, staying at home for days on end wasn't as happy as Aiden thought, especially since in the past few years, he has been spending more and more time outside the home because of his busy life as a top super model.

Aiden opened his apartment door, intending to buy snacks at the mini market and lunch at a nearby restaurant. Yes, at least a breath of fresh air outside.

However, when the door was opened, that annoying face came back into view. Aiden didn't understand why he and the banana girl were seeing each other more and more lately. What terrible fate awaits him?

"Good afternoon?" Said the banana girl with a grin. Aiden shuddered, remembering yesterday's embarrassing incident which until now is still vivid in his mind.

"Just ignore her, don't deal with her for now!" He thought, trying to convince himself that meeting Nina was the same as running into trouble.

Aiden immediately closed the door and walked right past her, acting like he didn't see her.

"Aiden!" With quick steps, Nina immediately followed him. Not without reason, she had something important she had to say.

Aiden stays put, ignores or returns to new bad luck.

"What? You still mad at me? It's not a big deal-"

"It's not a big deal? You say it's not a big deal? You can talk freely! Sneaking around and peeking into other people's rooms is a very despicable act!"

"I've already apologized, what should I do?"

"Where are you apologizing? As you wish! You just ran away!"

"R-really? Hehehe... then I'm sorry, huh?"

"There's no way I can forgive you, besides that's so embarrassing! Agh... I feel like I want to just disappear from this world!"

"Don't be like that! You should be proud. Yours is big, you know?"

"Stupid, don't say it so casually!"

"Why? Aren't men usually proud when their brother is big?" She said innocently, making Aiden feel even more embarrassed and had the intention to free fall.

"Listen, ok? No matter what, let me explain, you won't understand, it's a matter of feelings! I'm so embarrassed, you know what?"

"Embarrassed? You're used to posing naked in front of the camera!"

"When do I pose naked? You shit! No matter how hot my pose is, that part will be covered!"

"Even though it's closed, the shape is still visible, my friend who really idolizes you to the point of displaying your poster wearing only underwear in her room. Sometimes she acts like she's performing a magical ritual while kneeling in front of your poster!"

Aiden shuddered, he really didn't expect that out there, there were really people who adored him to go that far.

"Listen, don't tell anyone about what happened between us, you understand?"

"W-why? Are you embarrassed? Even though I'm-" Nina said in a soft voice and an innocent look that was faked. Acting as if something special had happened to the two of them.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Haha... it feels like in a novel, an ordinary girl is involved in a romance with a famous model who is cold and pushy!"

"Don't always be connected with fictional stories! You are not suitable to be the main female character!"

"I'm just kidding, you're always angry!'

"So, what did you come for? Want to mess up my life again?"

"No, I want to collect my money that you promised to transfer. But until now, you haven't transferred either, I knew it would be like this. Hurry, give me 150 dollars!"

"Ah... well, I don't have any cash. I'll transfer later, I'm going!"

"Where are you going? Your hand is healed?"

"That's pretty good, I just want to go to the mini market for a while!"

"Do you want me to go with you ?"

"No!"

"I'll go with you, I'll wait for you to transfer the money!"

"Up to you!"

Aiden only took a bottle of coke, chewing gum, potato chips and chocolate chip cookies. Really just a snack that will accompany him to read his favorite story at this time. Even though he had yet to admit to the story writer who had troubled him.

After taking everything he needed, Aideb went straight to the counter to pay, while beside him, Nina was already standing with some snacks as well.

Nina put her groceries right near Aiden's, making him suspect one thing, that he was the one who had to pay for all of this.

"Why did you put your groceries with mine?"

"Please pay all, okay? It's not expensive!" She whispered, smiling.

"Oh my God!""

"Don't be so stingy, Aiden. We're friends!"

"Since when are we friends? Don't decide arbitrarily!"

"Please pay, okay? I'll wait outside!" She said while walking quickly towards the door of the mini market.

"Hey... don't go!" Aiden guessed right, meeting her would make him receive new bad luck again.

Poor Aiden had no choice, in the end he paid for groceries for someone who claimed to be his friend, with a larger amount than Aiden's own shopping. It's a reflection of a man who doesn't know himself.

Aideb made a mini market door while holding two plastic bags with his right hand. While at the door, Nina waited with a sparkling face.

"Thank you, Aiden! You're so kind."

"I'll cut your money to pay for all this!"

"D-don't be like that! You're rich. Paying for a snack like this must be not much, right?"

"You? Do you always do this to other people? You know what? You're like a blood-sucking parasite!" He said annoyed as he walked away.

Seeing Nina who didn't follow him and stayed silent in her place, made him feel guilty. No matter how annoyed he was, he shouldn't have said such cruel things.

Aiden turned around and walked over to Nina who was standing with him back to him.

"Hey, sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"Erm... this candy is very sour, why did I choose this one?" She said while chewing on the newest sour candy.

Aiden was silent, what a pointless regret, seeing this one human who really didn't care about anything other than himself. Embarrassed, he turned his head back and walked away from the super weird banana girl.

"Hey Aiden, what were you going to say earlier? Wait for me!" Nina shouted while running after Aiden.

"Don't follow me!"

"Do you want to try this candy? It's so sour, it makes my saliva drip!"

"No!"

"Aiden? Really, you're Aiden Supernova, right?" Said a beautiful blonde woman standing at the door of an Italian restaurant.

Aideb immediately turned his head, looking at the beautiful and elegant figure that called out to him in a gentle voice.

"You?"

"That's right, I'm Cindy. Nice to meet you, Aiden!" She smiled sweetly, her extraordinarily beautiful figure like a fairy, making passers-by definitely glance at her.

"Wow... fairy!" Nina muttered. She was as amazed as the people who stared at Cindy.

"Ah... hi Cindy, what a coincidence, huh?" Aiden felt awkward, meeting up with an old friend in a place like this.

Cindy looked at Nina with her beautiful smile, she immediately stretched out her hand to shake.

"Hi, my name is Cindy Lombardi, nice to meet you!"

"I'm Karenina Morales, just call me Nina."

"Why are you introducing yourself?" Aiden whispered.

"So, what?"

"How's your hand, Aiden?"

"Agh... it's okay. In two days, maybe the bandages can be removed,"

"Thank God, I live nearby. How about you?" She asked.

"Me too. Are you busy? How about having lunch together?"

"What a coincidence, I also want to have lunch at this restaurant. How about here?"

"Sure!"

Aiden, Cindy and Nina entered a well-known Italian restaurant in this area. Making Aiden and Cindy feel as if they were in their hometown.

"Why are you coming in?" Aiden whispered to Nina. He didn't want to look embarrassing in front of his childhood friend.

"I haven't had lunch yet, is that okay? Please just chat with her, I won't disturb you!" Nina said while taking a place in the middle. So Aiden and Cindy could sit face to face and chat.

"She's very clever at taking advantage of circumstances. Just watch out!"
