Chapter 49
Arielyn
“I love your hair so much, it was the first thing I noticed about you,”
He said.
“Thanks, but the truth is, I am not a natural redhaired, I dyed my hair before coming to O-when,”
I revealed as I didn’t want to give him a false version of me.
“I know, I am saying I like it because it suits you,”
he responded, I shyly looked away but once again, he didn’t let me.
“Are you not late for work?”
I asked trying to distract him.
“I am never late, I am the boss, though I need to go see your dad today, if not, I would have taken the day off,”
He informed.
“You are meeting Dad today? Are you going to be, okay?”
I asked out of concern.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Ari baby, I am the owner of a multi-billion dollars company, I am not scared of meeting your dad about business,”
He told me. Well, it wasn’t my fault, my dad can be hard to deal with sometimes but if he says he was okay then I don’t need to worry.
“I trust you will do well,”
“Of course, I have you on my side,”
he said, leaned in, and dropped a light kiss on my lips.
“I like kissing you so much,”
he whispered against my lips, his breath caressing my face and making me giggle.
“Me too,”
I responded shyly, he smiled and left a kiss on my forehead.
“I should start going before I turn this into something else and we both won’t leave the house,”
He stated as he let me go and picked up his work bag, I felt the loss of contact and wished we didn’t have places to be so that he can make his words come through, wanting him so much so early made me regret running away after movie night two nights ago because I was damn sure if I didn’t then I would already experience what it was like to be taken by Kendrix.
“Patience, patience, girl,”
Ae whispered and I nodded.
“Can I tag along? You can drop me off at the bus station and I will catch a bus to Win’s house,”
I said following him out of the room, I ran to my room to get my bag and when I came out of my room, he was waiting for me.
“I will drop you at her house and go to work from there, no way I am letting my woman take a bus,”
He said as he held out his hand for me and I took it, oh boy, he was acting like a man in love too, if I didn’t know the truth about our relationship, I would have assumed he was in love with me.
“I like being your woman,”
I cheered which got a laugh from him, we met Raul downstairs.
“You guys look good together,”
He commented.
“Well, thank you, kind sir,”
I responded and they both laugh.
“Do you want to come with me? Rose would be thrilled to meet you,”
I asked even though I knew what his answer would be, it was one thing to warm up to Ken and me and another thing to meet other people.
“I am just going to stay here, have fun,”
He said and off he went to his room without looking back.
“I think he will meet her when he is ready,”
Ken said and I nodded.
“I know, I just wanted to try my luck, we should go,”
“Yes, we should,”
He replied and we both walked to the car, hand in hand.
“It is officially a week to your wedding Rose, how are you feeling?”
I asked Rose as we sat in the garden of her home, we have been going over all the reservations we made and every other preparation concerning the wedding for the past two hours and we finally took a break.
“I don’t know, I am stressed and scared that everything might not go as planned, and also Jayden might change his mind about us being together and ditch me at the aisle, I had a bad dream,”
Rose complained and I rolled my eyes at the part when she said Jayden would ditch her as if the man has not been head over heels for her even before he found out she was his mate, the last person that would ever ditch Rose was Jayden, he loves her too much and I was sure of it.
“You are overthinking things, need I remind you that Jay has been out to get you even before you guys found out you were mate, the Man can’t do without you, I mean he should be the one scared that you might ditch him,”
I responded. It was true, Jay should be the one scared of Rose.
“You know damn well that’s not going to happen, I may not have fallen first but I did fall harder Ari, I love him so much that if he leaves me, I might die,”
She let on.
“Win, no one is dying and no one is leaving either, your wedding is going to be successful and it will be a day filled with laughter and happiness,”
I told her and she smiled weakly. It looked like something else was bothering her.
“What’s going on Win? Spill,”
I let out.
“Did I ever think I can hide from you?”
she questioned.
“Of course, you can’t hide anything from me, I know you too well, Win-rose,”
I replied and waited for her to speak.
“You know the day you came in? we met at the hospital and I told you I was in for a test?”
Win asked and I nodded, I wanted to ask her what test she went for that day but I was too overwhelmed by everything that happened that day that I forgot to ask.
“Yes, I remember, did something happen?”
I asked with concern, I didn’t like the look on her face.
“Yes, that day, I actually went to confirm if I was pregnant or not, I took the kit test that day and it showed positive so I went to the hospital for confirmation.
“Oh, you are pregnant? But that day at the club you drank alcohol, isn’t that bad for the baby?”
I asked. Now I was truly concerned because pregnant women are not supposed to take alcohol.
“Yeah, that’s because the test came out negative that day so I thought I was safe but yesterday, I went back for a retest and it came out positive, now I am scared that I might have hurt the baby with my reckless ways,”
She revealed.
“That is not enough to harm the baby, you didn’t drink so much and you haven’t drank anything after that day, right?”
I questioned. A one-time mistake when she thought she wasn’t pregnant would not hurt the baby.
“Yes, I didn’t drink again but I am not a doctor so I don’t know, I didn’t ask the doctor because I was scared of what he would say,”
She looked relieved, it must have been hard for her yesterday thinking she might have hurt her baby.
“You don’t have to worry, the baby is just alright, is that why you were scared? Baby, you are having a baby right in time for your wedding, that’s a double celebration, you shouldn’t be sad or scared,”
I let out, trying to cheer her up, she smiled shyly.
“I know right, I was happy when the result came out positive but then I remembered I drank alcohol and the internet didn’t help my case either, I couldn’t sleep last night, I was so scared,”
She said.
“Now that you know you have not hurt the baby, can you smile more? My bride-to-be is going to be a mom too and I am going to be an aunt,”
I cheered making Rose laugh.
“Aunt? More like godmother, now that you are not leaving O-when, you can be here for the birth of my child,”
She said in excitement.
