CHAPTER FORTY
“Are you excited to go home?” Wallace asked me while putting our things one by one.
“I am,” I replied while sitting on the sofa.
I wanted to help him but he didn’t allow me and let me sit down. We were also waiting for Daze to get a wheelchair because they didn’t want me to walk.
“Me too. I am excited to see you at my home. Finally, you will live with me freely.” Wallace and I decided to live together. He asks for dads approval and mom also and they both agreed. He even asked the four idiots. We will live in the house that his father gave him when he reach twenty-five but he did not use it because he prefers to stay in his condo.
He told me that the first time I saw him with dad at the mansion was the day that he asked my father’s permission that after I give birth I will stay with him. The day also that I saw him in the BC ad is he asked my friend’s permission. After all, everyone already knows and they have plans but I am not aware.
If I know this in another situation, I will be mad. Because the man I love is the one who planned for us, I am happy and excited.
“Wallace?” I call him when I saw him smiling at me.
“I miss you.” I was shocked when he kiss me and pull me closer to him. I put my hands on his nape and responded to his kiss. “I am fucking miss you, Diana.” He kissed me again which I reciprocated as well until he bury his face in my neck. “Fuck, I might forget.”
“I miss you, too, Wallace.”
“You have no idea how I missed you, Diana. You have no idea how I restrained myself to come closer to you. I have too much restraint every time I see you and it hurts. I really want to hug you, kiss you, and make you happy even when Ace is big inside.”
“Crazy.” I laughed saying.
“Yeah, you’re right, I am crazy as hell. I just saw you for the first time, I’m so deeply crazy about you, Diana. It’s even more when you let me taste the dish that only you have the best cooked.”
“Wallace.”
‘Hold yourself, Diana. Instead of being happy, we will stay in the hospital for a month because of your flirtation.’
He pressed our foreheads together and I heard his deep sigh. We exchanged air from each other’s noses.
“You’re all mine, Diana, really mine now.”
“I am all yours, Wallace.”
“How many months can I move after giving birth since your normal delivery? As far as I know, only caesareans is the one that should take one year.”
“Are you really thinking of a joke?”
“How many?”
“Three,” I said. Well, that’s what Keisha said to fully heal the vagina entrance.
“Ok, noted. Let’s follow Ace immediately.”
“What if I beat you? Do you know how painful it is to give birth?”
“I know, even though I am not in your position but I know and you put one of your feet on the grave. But there is only one pain, while the pleasure we can do is every day.”
“Stop me.”
“You’re cute to the point that I am hard now.”
Wallace!”
“What’s with you, Diana? Why do I go crazy with thrill and fun when you’re with me? Why can’t I think of anything else but to make you happy when you’re by my side. Why I am like this? That I don’t even know who I am and the only purpose I know of living is to love you until I grew old.”
“Wallace?” Why is Wallace making me so excited? I have nothing else to say to re-butt him but his name. I become speechless when it comes to him.
“When I see you I’m happy, when I talk to you, I’m thrilled, and when you’re by my side —-” I frowned because he didn’t finish what he was saying.
“What?”
“When you’re by my side I’m hardened.”
“Maniac.” But he laughs out loud.
“I am serious, there is something on you that I can resist every time you’re near with me.”
“I know what it is Wallace because I feel the same.”
“Really? Then what it is then?”
“Love, because you love me. Not because you’re only lusting on me. If it is only pure lust, it will pass. But because we love each other our lust is getting stronger mostly when we’re together.”
“Got it.”
“But you’re more flirtatious than me.”
“I know.”
“Sorry, I’m late.” Daze came in a wheelchair so we looked at her at the same time.
“You’re on time, Daze,” I said.
“I don’t think any miracle happened while I was away?”
“Daze?”
“Just asking, just to remind you that you’re —down there is not yet heal.”
“Stop saying nonsense.”
“Come, I’ll help you to get up.” Wallace helped me to stand and then supported me towards the wheelchair. He also put Ace on me. My daughter is really cute. Who will she look like when he grows up? Maybe her daddy because I really love her daddy.
Seeing my daughter in my arms removes all the pain I’ve been through upon labor. Not only that but also I thought her father didn’t want me anymore and he had a different family. I couldn’t help but stare at my daughter and cry. She is my price, my pride, and everything, she’s my all.
“Diana.”
“Isn’t she cute?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“Yeah.” Wallace kneeled to trim us. “She’s a living witness of our true love, Diana. Ace is not a mistake nor a created in lust, she’s formed because of our true love.” He held Ace’s face. “She will grow up just like you. A woman in everything.”
“Excuse me? Let’s go home first and do the drama at your house, ok?” Wallace stood up quickly. We forgot that Daze was here. “There’s still a lot of time for excitement. I am single here, have shy on me.”
“Sorry, Daze,” Wallace apologized.
“I’ll push my sister and you bring things.”
“Okay.”
Daze pushes my wheelchair. I don’t even know if I will laugh or feel sorry for her because she obviously has a hard time especially when the road is a bit uneven. Wallace wanted to help her but she refused because she also saw Wallace carrying heavy things.
I secretly smile. Daze is a brat and she doesn’t want to suffer but from what I see now it’s very different. Even though she was struggling she didn’t care.
In the back of the car, Daze rode with Ace because the baby in the front is not allowed. Following the protocol of proper riding, I put Ace in the back with his aunt.
We reached Wallace’s house. As soon as we entered I was surprised because they were all here. My family and friends with their respective families.
“Welcome home!” They shouted at the same time. I also looked around with decorations. There’s a picture of Ace and it says ‘Welcome home, baby Ace.’ I look at Wallace looking at me and smiling.
“Your friend’s wife arrange this.” I look at them one by one.
“Thank you guys,”
“You’re welcome.” The four approached me as their wives approached Ace. My family was seated on the couch since they also came from the hospital. They also let my friends look at the baby first.
“Oh, have alcohol first before holding the baby,” Daze told the girls.
“How are you?” Phoenix asks.
“OK. I’m happy because like you, I’m inspired.”
“We’re happy for you too,” Blaze said and tapped my head.
“You are now a mom and welcome to parenting,” Zeus tapped my shoulder.
“Hey, Wallace, take care of only girls huh? We missed what you did before, but next time the four of us will first before Dylan kills you.”
“Agree,” the three agreed with what Jace said.
“Diana will never be hurt again because of me,” Wallace replied.
“Good, oh girls, leave.” Jace grabbed the women’s attention and they took the baby’s place and the four girls approached me.
“Hi, does it hurt? Are you going to do again?” Maggie asks.
“Tss, I think I’m swearing and cursing Wallace’s name.”
“But worth it’ isn’t it?” Hailey asks.
“Yeah, especially when you’ve seen your child,” I replied.
“We are happy for you,”
“Thanks, Margot,”
“And at least now I’m comfortable.” Everyone looked at Yara but she just laughed. “Just a joke, you’re serious. Welcome to motherhood.” Since we opened The Coffee Code we have become more close.
“Thanks to all of you, and thanks for your tips on how to get through the pregnancy stage.”
“You’re welcome.”
“It takes too long. When is the finale?” Everyone looked at Dylan so I looked up too.
“What’s the finale?” I asked them but they all just smiled at me.
“We’re just sitting,” Margot tapped my legs and then walked over to the couch. Others did the same. Wallace’s dad is here seated beside dad.
“Wallace?” He walks in front of me and kneels. “What’s wrong?”
“The first time I laid my eyes on you. I know in myself that you are the woman that I want to be the mother of my kids, the woman that I want to spend the rest of my life with. And if it wasn’t you, I will choose to be single forever.”
I didn’t realize that my tears were spontaneously falling because of what Wallace was saying. Even though I’m not sure if I’m right about what’s going on, I still can’t help but be emotional.
“Diana, I love you from the first time I saw you. Just like you, I kept you in my heart for a long time. I didn’t avoid you because I was afraid of your brother. I avoided you because I was afraid of hurting you. I might not be able to stand you. I was afraid that we might be like our family because of me. Especially I also have doubts about myself. But now, I realized, that as long as you love me and I love you we will never be like them. And I can stand anywhere as long as you are with me.”
“Wallace,”
“Diana,” He took something from his pocket. It was a box and he open it. “Diana, I won’t ask you to marry me. Because either you like it or not — you will marry me.” He took my hand and put the ring.
“Even if you don’t ask me. I myself will tell you that you need to marry me.”
“I love you so much, Diana,”
“I love you so much, Wallace,” And he kissed me in front of everyone.
“Oh, they already kiss, we can eat and I’ve been hungry.” Is there anyone else always grabbing attention? Of course none other than Dylan.
