Alisson

"Aww come on!" I yelled as I placed the down the book on the table to vent out my anger.

It was a day after I agreed to Aiden's proposal and I honestly think his taste in books must be pretty similar to mine.

So far I'm enjoying the book. Of course there are moments where the frustration comes but it's always normal for a book to make you feel that way. Especially school books. They make you just want to burn them in the fire.

Speaking of school books, I remembered that I still had homework to do. So I placed a bookmark in the book, closed it and I set it aside for now so I can work on my assignments.

While I was doing research on the laptop, my phone ringed, showing me the contact of Aiden, (to which I named him Mr. BookStranger), I answered the call.

"Top of the morning to you Aiden." I said as I ploped on my bed.

"Well hello to you too. So did you read the book?" He asked yawning afterwards.

"Yeah it's actually pretty neat! By the way, are you tired or something?"

"Great to hear that! And no, just jet lag I suppose."

"By the way. . ." he trails off.

"Yeah?" I asked curious to what he might say.

"Don't just go and read the book all in one day. I know how people like you can do that. Just stick with a few pages a day. Maybe place some sticky notes on the pages where you're supposed to stop," He says, warning me.

"Aww so I can't exactly stick to my habit now can I?" I replied, snickering.

"Did you just make a pun?"

"No..." I trailed off, playing the innocent card.

"Yes, you did."

"No, I didn't" I retorted.

"Did too."

"Did not."

"Did not."

"Did too. Wait. . ." I stopped for a few seconds to realize what I've said when Aiden's laughter booms over the phone to comfirm my thoughts.

"You tricked me!" I exclaimed while squeezing my pillow. If he was here I would have thrown this pillow at him.

"All- part- of the game, Ali," He says still throwing fits of laughter.

I laughed with him when something processed in my head. "Wait...You called me Ali that time." I said what's on my mind and immediately covered my mouth shut.

Me and my stupid mouth.

"Oh, um, I hope you don't mind.
Though I can call you something else if you want..."

"Like what?" I asked, intrigued.

"Mine."

"Oh. my. gawd. Whyyy." I groaned with laughter at the cheesy line he just pulled off. I can't believe I didn't see that coming.

"I bet you're smirking right now."

"You bet I am," he says, confidence clear in his voice.

"Aiden. You are full of suprises."

"Glad you know that Alisson." He laughs.

"Hahaha, please you can call me Ali. It's better than that cheesy line of yours." I laughed with him.

"Ok,ok,ok. I'll call you Ali." He says as his laughter subsides.

"Well then Aiden, did you read my book yet?" I asked him as soon as I remembered.

"As a matter of fact yes. Right now you're on speaker mode and I'm just here chilling in my hotel room reading your book."

"Well aren't you feeling luxurious."

"Very."

"Well then, Should I let you keep on reading the book in peace?"

"It's alright. Though you can also just stay in the call. You're pretty fun to talk to," He says without hesitation.

I don't know if I should be flattered or not.

"I guess I can stay, though you're helping me wih homework."

"Still in school eh? Alright, whatever question you have, you can ask me." He says in a reasurring voice.

So then the call continued until Aiden had to go since he was called.

The last thing I saw after the call was this:

Call ended: 2 hours and 22 minutes
