Chapter 48
Arielyn
I couldn’t help giggling as I lay on my bed after I left Ken’s room, if I had not been careful, I would have stayed in his room but tonight, we both wanted different reasons to be together and my reason was dangerous, I couldn’t trust myself not to jump him when he slept so I ran away. Ken made me feel excited and I liked the feeling even though I knew what we shared was only on paper and not the real thing, it didn’t stop me from being excited about the things we would do together. What’s more, I couldn’t lie, I was happy that I won’t have to leave O-when again. I liked being in Dilgem but O-when was home and I couldn’t change that.
The fact that I would not have to leave Rose and also Raul too, he has become one of my favorite people and I had been contemplating how best to break the news of my leaving to him and now I don’t have to do that anymore, the only downside in everything that happened today was that bastard Jordan going to Ken’s office because of me, he was out of his mind and it was his lose. The way he kept calling me names and being mean to me only for him to find out that he needed me to gain favors from my dad and now he wants to get me, laughable. I didn’t even feel anything for him anymore, if Ken had not been in the picture, I would still not have accepted Jordan. On second thought, maybe I would have accepted his request at first and then dump him the way he did to me, it would have been a great revenge but I didn’t need that kind of revenge now. When he sees me with his brother and when Ken gets the throne, that would be all the revenge I need.
From here on, I just want to live my life happily and also keep rooting for my new man. Hell, Rose will not let me hear the end of it because she told me I would find myself a hot man that day in the car on our way to the club and I didn’t believe but that night started something for Ken and I which led us to where we are now.
“Oh, you are loving this a little too much, who is the whore now?”
Ae chirped in. I smiled. I have been waiting for her to say something but she has been quiet. Maybe giving me space to be excited. I love that about her too.
“You wanted me to get him too Ae, don’t act innocent now, you like this too,”
I whispered. Our excitement was shared and I could feel hers just like I could always feel her pain.
“You bet I am excited, we got him and we are going to get laid,”
She went on excitedly and I rolled my eyes, we were both far too gone to be saved, and honestly, I didn’t want to be saved, Ken was everything and I wanted to be with him so much, if he hadn’t asked me to be his maybe I would have hidden my feelings and left O-when heartbroken for the second time, this time it would have been worst, thankfully, I don’t have to experience that because he chose me and even though I knew it was because he had something to gain from choosing me, I still liked it. At least he didn’t lie about being in love with me or anything, I knew just what I was getting into and was ready for it. I went to sleep feeling like a teenager in love.
I woke up the next morning in a happy mood, after Ken left for work, Raul and I spent the whole day doing our usual stuff, one of the pecks of seeing a rich man was I didn’t have to worry about money or anything as he had enough to support my baby girl life, not like I have ever lack anything. Raul was beyond happy to have me back with him and he kept talking to me and making me tell stories I have told him before. When Ken came back from work that evening, we had a movie night and I had to run to my room after the movie ended to prevent me from trying to get into his pants. I didn’t want to start something I couldn’t finish and just hoped he would make the first move. I was impatient but I couldn’t make the first move when I had no experience. What would Ken think if he finds out that I am a twenty-six years old virgin and never fucked anyone, he might laugh at me and even mock me. I refuse to overthink it for now but it played a huge part as to why I didn’t want to make the first move.
Friday morning, I woke up in yet another happy mood, I couldn’t help how happy I was feeling these days, I went downstairs after taking my bath and dressing up. I was meeting Rose today for a mini date and to do some work regarding her wedding. As I walked downstairs, I heard Raul’s laughter and also Ken’s too, my heart and whole body filled with warmth hearing them laugh together, we were not the regular kind of family but we were a family and I like what we share so much.
“What’s funny guys?”
I asked when I got to them, they both stopped laughing and just stared at me in silence before bursting out laughing again, I frowned at them.
“Raul thinks you snore, I told him you don’t but he said you do and that he heard you snoring last night when he went out of his room to get a drink,”
Ken informed and I glared at both of them, I couldn’t believe they were bonding over me. Plus, I don’t snore. That’s one thing I was sure of.
“You guys are making things up, I don’t snore,”
I let out in my defense which got them both laughing again.
“Right, I made that up, we were just talking and he said something funny which made me laugh and my laugher triggered his, come sit down baby,”
He invited. My heart warmed up when he called me baby, Raul didn’t look surprised.
“I told him already that you and I are together, and he said he already suspected as much,”
Ken explained as if he read my mind, Raul gave a thumbs up and went back to eating, I turned to Ken who smiled before leaning in to kiss me briefly on the lips, it was a very brief kiss but it was enough to make me excited again. The chef walked in and Ken told him and the other worker in the dining with us that I was his and all I could do while he introduced me to everyone was smiling like a lovesick idiot, I liked that he wasn’t keeping our relationship away from his household.
“What are you doing today?”
He asked, pulling me along with him upstairs after we were done eating breakfast.
“I am meeting with Win. her wedding is a week away and we just want to go over everything to make sure we are not missing anything.”
I explained.
“Right,”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
He responded and he went silent, picked up his tie, I walked to him and collected it from him, I was good at fixing ties and I have always wanted to do it for my man, now that I have a man, I am going to make sure I do it for him.
“You guys have a beautiful friendship,”
He commented which got a smile from me, of course, we do, she has been my one true constant since I can remember.
“You bet.
I replied as I finished fixing his tie, he smiled and held my waist, we were alone and he didn’t need to be touchy with me but he was which made me happy, I smiled shyly avoiding his gaze but he didn’t let me, he placed his hand under my chin and lifted my face so that I was looking directly into his eyes.
