The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden)

Chapter 102

Sophie’s pov

“I really am sorry Aiden.” I winced while holding the frozen pack of peas on his crotch.

“I swear I didn’t see that you were there and-

I stopped and pressed the frozen peas harder on his crotch.

He looks down at me in pain, hissing.

Now you might be wondering how we ended up in this position. Well to tell you, I’d have to rewind…..

*a couple of hours prior*

I’ve been staring at Aiden for the longest as he barked over the phone. When he was done, he

loosened his tie and without looking over at me he mumbled.

“Your past is being erased.”

My brows furrowed and I place the cup down on the counter. “What?”

He looks over at me, slinging his tie on the couch. “I’ve hired someone to erase your past. Everything is

squeaky clean. The media won’t know anything about you.”

I nod. “Except being a teen mom.”

He shrugged. “That’s something you can’t erase. They’ll do the math when they see him. Which they

will at some point. I don’t plan to hide my son.”

I gnaw on my lips, looking away from him and let out a huge sigh. “We don’t have to introduce him to

this kind of world yet right?” I asked nervously.

Ashton was still a little kid. He wasn’t even three years old yet. He was not ready for this kind of world

yet.

Aiden looked at me intensely. “We’ll go on your own terms mama bear.” He said honestly and the relief

I felt when I heard those words was out of this world.

I nod, smiling thankfully.

“All they’ll know is that you’re my fiance.” He said with a shrug and starts to unbutton his shirt.

“And that I’m apparently pregnant,” I added and took the cup and brought the rim to my lips.

Aiden’s lips curved with a grin. “I’ve told you many times, there’s a way that you can actually get All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

pregnant.”

I nearly choked on the water I was sipping and glared at him over the rim.

Pulling the cup away from my lips, I voiced. “You’re annoying.”

He chuckles. “Women never call me annoying before. Only you mama bear.”

My eyes narrowed, feeling the bitter sting of jealousy. “Well then I’m glad I’m the first to tell you how

much of an annoying prick you are.”

He smiled, chuckling like I had just said the funniest thing, and then got serious. “We need to talk about

the engagement and

the living situation.”

My heart skips. Living situation?

I nervously chew on my lower lip and then asked with a slight wince in my features. “What living

situation are you talking about?”

His eyes held mine when he responds. “We are supposedly engaged. Engaged couples live together.”

My mind rattled, my heart roared and the blood in my veins dance in my ears.

His words startled me even though they perhaps shouldn’t.

I try to calm my racing heart and swallowed twice so I can regain my speech.

“What?”

“Engaged couples live together-

“I heard you the first time,” I cut him off and walked around the kitchen counter to find myself almost

beside the sofa he

sat on.

“Aiden….” I started. “I can’t live with you,”

His eyes turn like steel when he heard my words. “I’m not a monster you know Sophie. Besides, it will

look bad if we live separately.”

“I never said you were a monster Aiden. Things are just going a little too fast okay? I still have yet to

swallow all that happened today. I need a break to at least think. Our son is

sick and my face is everywhere. I just need a break. “I sighed, raking my fingers through my hair. I met

tangles and tugged.

His eyes shifted in understanding and he looked at me with guilt. “I’m sorry for thrusting this kind of

responsibility on you Sophie. If I had another way to get out of this without involving you, I would.”

I looked at him silently, staring into his eyes. He felt sorry.

Sighing, I breathed out. “My head is pounding, I’m going to have a rest. You can help yourself to

anything in the fridge. ”

I wasn’t lying. My temples ached and that migraine that lurked behind my lids was not letting up.

Everything that happened from the moment Aiden walked back into my life, or should I say I walked

into his, all that stress just weighed on me today.

The paparazzi. The pressure of having to act like his fiance. The fear of knowing that his grandfather

was powerful enough to make things work in his favor and send Aiden back to jail. And Ash…my poor

baby was sick.

All this was stressful and I really did need to sleep it off.

Aiden nods, looking at me with a look of guilt.

I left him in the living room silently letting out a string of curses knowing that when I wake up I’d have to

go through another stressful situation with Mila and Ria.

Especially with Mila.

How in the hell was I supposed to tell them everything?

I shook my head and entered the room. Ashton was still asleep, curled into a ball on the bed.

I smiled and strutted over to the bed. I settled beside him, curving my arm around his small body and

tucking him closer

to me.

I sighed and kissed his head. Hmm the fever has lessened.

“Your dad is so much trouble Ash. I really hope you won’t be the same way when you grow up.” I

whispered, kissing his head again and resting my head on the pillow.

Soon after, sleep finally took over my body and I found myself in the dark space of my mind.

I woke up to the sudden urge to pee. In my drowsy state, I got off the bed slowly to not wake up Ash

and rub my eyes to move the sleep.

But then instead of my foot meeting wood, it met something soft.

A loud painful groan soon followed after a string of curses.

I stopped rubbing my eyes and looked down.

My eyes widen when I saw Aiden on the floor with a throw pillow under his head. His face is wrinkled

with pain.

I look down at my foot, gasping sharply when I noticed it was on his crotch. I removed my foot off his

crotch rapidly.

Oh fuck.

“Aiden?” I said half awake and half panicked.

What the hell was he doing here? Especially so close to the bed.

Aiden doesn’t answer me yet, only cups his crotch and curls into a ball while letting any imaginable

cuss word out there.
