Worthy of Me by Yajna Ramnath Read Free Book Online

had peaked through first.
    There stood a shocked Haley dressed in what had to be the shortest skirt and tightest top I had ever seen. It was almost zero degrees out according to me, and this chick was parading in almost nothing.
    “Where is Aiden?” she shot out.
    I was so close to laughing because her teeth chattered as she tried to talk. The chilly air swept over my body making me shiver, so I stepped to the side without a word and she stomped passed me. She fully intended to head upstairs into Aiden’s bedroom but stopped short when he stumbled downstairs half asleep in nothing but a pair of boxer-briefs.
    He looked at me with those naughty bright blue eyes and said, “Morning, Sunshine.”
    I gestured with a tip of my head to the person he had completely ignored, or maybe hadn’t seen. He turned a narrowed gaze in Haley’s direction. “What the hell are you doing here?”
    I winced at the irritation in his tone especially when I saw the flash of pain and embarrassment in Haley’s gaze. I shrugged it off and mumbled that I was making coffee and if anyone wanted some they should come to the kitchen.
    To my dismay they both followed.
    “Seriously, Haley, what are you doing here so early in the morning dressed like that?” Aiden asked while frowning at her ensemble.
    “I… uh… Rebecca told me she saw you at Rage last night and that you were pretty hammered. I just came to check if you were okay,” she stumbled over her words and sounded like a two-year-old.
    I shook my head and turned around to make the coffee.
    “Well, I’m fine. I don’t mean to be rude but you need to leave. I have a day planned out for Mia and I, so…”
    Aiden let that word trail out and I watched as both embarrassment and anger clouded Haley’s features. Aiden the dumbass was creating a whole heap of trouble for me. Haley muttered her goodbyes and made a hasty escape.
    “You realise that now she and her minion will make my life hell at school, right?” I glared at Aiden.
    “I always did love a good girl fight,” Aiden grinned as I handed him his cup of coffee, I had a good mind to poison the damn thing.
    “Dude, me fighting over another chick for some guy would never happen,” I snorted.
    “Please,” Aiden scoffed. “Every single girl out there has had to fight over a girl for a boy.”
    I shook my head. “Not me. I’d rather let him go than fight for him.”
    “Why?”
    I shrugged. “If your friend is true to you she would respect the fact that you have interest in a guy. If the guy is true to you he wouldn’t encourage the friend. So basically if it comes down to a fight it means two things. One, the guy obviously encouraged the friend thereby being unfaithful. Two, the friend obviously didn’t care enough about the friendship to stay away from the guy. So therefore why fight for someone who wasn’t really worth it at all?”
    “Is it really your place to say whether or not someone is worthy of love?” Aiden asked.
    I stopped for a moment and thought back to everything I had ever experienced. “No probably not.”
    We lapsed into a silence when I felt the need to justify my earlier statement.
    “I just, I don’t agree with friends falling in love with the same person. There too much room for catastrophe. I feel they should just stay away from someone who is bound to cause that much trouble.”
    Aiden raised his brows at me. “You say that like you can control who your heart falls for. History proves that you can’t. Your heart wants what your heart wants.”
    “That may be true. But you have a fully functional mind which knows when it should follow the heart’s desire and when not to. When it is right and when it is wrong,” I replied.
    “Mia, can you honestly say that you have never followed your heart? That you’ve never ignored the What Ifs and went with what your heartbeat told to you to?” Aiden asked.
    I stared off into a distance remembering how many times I followed my heart and how many times it
