The Pretend Girlfriend(124)

She leaned back against the doorframe. "What are you saying?"

"I wanted it to be a surprise, but now I'm sort of regretting it... I didn't realize it would upset you so much..."

"What? What surprise?"

Looking bashful, scratching at the back of his head, Aiden replied, "I bought us a new condo. It's overlooking the park, just like you like, I had them take all your stuff over. Though, I hope you don't mind if we use my bed instead of yours..."

Everything clicked in her head. "You're moving in with me!"

His smile grew, "Well, I think it's more like you're moving in with me. But you can put it that way if you want."

Gwen felt the pressure behind her eyes and couldn't resist it. The tears started falling down her cheeks in big, fat drops.

Alarmed, Aiden pulled her close. "Are you okay? Really, I'm sorry. I thought you'd like the surprise..."

"It's not that," she said.

"It's not?"

"No, I just love you so much."

He kissed the top of her head. "I love you, too."
