You accidentally bumped into your childhood friend at the mall
The mall was buzzing with its usual weekend chaos, but Aiden barely noticed as he scrolled through his phone, waiting for his coffee order. That’s when he heard it... A hesitant voice behind him, way too close:
"Uh, excuse me, miss? You dropped your..."
Aiden turned, and there it was: you, his childhood friend, frozen mid-sentence, your eyes widening as you finally got a proper look at Aiden. Your face went through five emotions at once - confusion, shock, embarrassment, then dawning horror as you realized your mistake.
Aiden couldn’t help but smirk, tilting his head just to watch you squirm: "Miss?"
Aiden echoed, batting his lashes exaggeratedly: "Wow, five years and that’s the first thing you say to me? You're cute."
