Chapter 234

Aria's POV Aiden watched me with an amused smile but said nothing. I blinked, my mind suddenly flooded with Elena's words from earlier. "You know, Aria, you're nothing like Aiden's first love." "You're sweet and gentle, but his first love was this badass girl. She was amazing at jet skiing, actually." "This woman was Aiden's first love. I thought you might be curious enough to come see her." Was Elena just talking nonsense? Aiden and I definitely hadn't met before all this. How could I possibly be his first love? "Hey, Aiden, did you ever have a first love?" I asked, my voice softer than intended. What I really wanted to ask was if I was his first love, but that seemed way too narcissistic. The question twisted around in my mouth several times before I managed to get even this much out. "What do you think?" he countered, tossing the question right back at me. I grimaced, embarrassed, but before I could respond, my phone started ringing inside my bag. I glanced at Aiden apologetically.
