Chapter Eighteen: A Little Bit Of Happiness

Chapter Eighteen: A Little Bit Of Happiness
Aria’s pov 

“Congratulations Aria you’ve made me a very proud father.” My step father Victor congratulated me amongst others. After taking back my decision of removing my unborn child. It seems like the best decision I have ever made in my life. I was happy and felt overjoyed and warm. I now have someone I can talk to and do things with. I don’t mind what the gender of my child will be but what I know is I will put in my best to be a good mother, an available mother. 

After backing down from my decision three days ago I have been treated as nothing but a queen. Not that I was ever treated badly but the pampering became extra. I am not allowed to do anything, not even as little as making myself a glass of fresh juice. Whatever I needed was just a call away. 

Mrs Laurent suggested that we had a little party to celebrate. She was thoughtful enough to ask for my permission, of course  I couldn't turn her down, not after seeing how happy she is about the whole thing. She is a good woman and she would make a wonderful grandmother. My life right now is more than different from what I fantasize having a baby and being a mother is a whole new feeling. My love story might not have gone as planned but I’m grateful for what I have right now. 

I gracefully stood next to Demien at the top of the stairs. Who would have thought we would look so good together. I wasn’t sure what to wear for the party but Demien surprised me with a beautiful almond green dress. I love the silkyness and simplicity of the dress, he knew my taste so well I wonder how he was able to pick a dress as beautiful as this. He seems very excited to become a dad. He would ask for permission to touch my stomach at every chance he got. 

The topic of marriage came between us and after giving it a lot of thought I suggested that we get married after the child is born. I am not ready for marriage now but I might be after I give birth to my baby. I wouldn’t want my child to group up without both its parents. I know what it feels like being raised by a single parent, especially one that controls your life and I definitely do not want the same for my child. Plus I’m sure Demien would make a great father. 

We have agreed to stay together and get to know each other more since Demien claims that he doesn’t want me to be by myself with a baby in my stomach. I never knew he is so thoughtful and sweet and such a responsible man. 

“Are you ready?” Demien asked me as he stretched to receive my hand. I sent him a small smile and placed my hand into his. With that we made our way down the stairs to receive our guest. 

I wasn’t expecting to see so many people since Mrs Laurent said it would be a small event but I guess The Laurent family definition of small is always a big crowd. 

Demien and myself made our way through the crowd to greet as many people as we could. I was starting to feel tired and I excused myself to get a drink. 

I stood by the bar side and requested for some fruit drink when someone called out to me. 

“Aria.” I turned around immediately. I knew that voice even if I was in a deep sleep I could tell it was my best friend Celeste. 

“Celeste?” I called out to her with a little shock in my voice. I hoped it wasn’t noticeable. I wondered what she must be doing here. 

“What are you doing here?” The words just came out of my mouth. She treated me like a stranger and like an enemy and yet she is at my party. Unlike the last time I saw her at Mr Laurent’s birthday, this party is about me and I definitely didn’t invite her. I’m pretty sure no one would invite her without asking me about it.  

Does that mean Lucian is here too? The thought crossed my mind. 

“I invited her.” That was Demien’s voice. He slid his hand on my waist from behind. I was confused but now it makes a whole lot of sense how he was able to pick the perfect dress for me. I never told him anything about myself or my favorite colors but he somehow managed to know. Celeste must have told him. 

But why 

What is the sudden connection between them? 

“I should excuse you ladies to talk.” Demien added and with that he picked up a glass of champagne from the bar and left. Celeste and I looked at ourselves for what felt like hours. 

“I’m sorry Aria.” She finally broke the silence between us. I never held any grudges against Celeste. It is Lucian who I am disappointed in, not that it would do me any good now but I am still interested in knowing what happened and why Lucian decided to leave me in the dark. That was a question I should ask Lucian directly but I know for sure he wouldn’t say a thing. 

“Congratulations on having a baby on the way.” She looks at my stomach and she seems genuinely happy. I actually miss having Celeste around. I have so much to tell her and talk to her about but I want to be sure I could trust her again. She has always been my favorite person. There is no way I could stay angry at her for long. 

“Thank you.” My voice was barely above a whisper. I didn't want her to sense that I am happy to have her here with me. 

“This might not be the perfect time or place for us to talk but I do have a lot to tell you.” Celeste says to me. I agree with her that the party is for myself and my unborn child, not for my failed love story. 

“should we have lunch together tomorrow?” I asked her,  the glitter in her eyes was quite obvious. 

“Yh sure I’ll pick out a place and  inform you about it.” The enthusiasm was something else that made me giggle. 

“Yh sure.” I sent her a small smile. If there was one thing Celeste was really good at it’s spotting nice places; be it a restaurant, a fashion house, any place at all. 

“It’s a date then.” She added and we laughed. The air wasn’t so thick between us. I already forgave her for a long time. Then some thought came into my head. She said she was pregnant with Lucian’s child, yet she drank alcohol. I wanted to ask her about it but I held myself back. I guess we will have a lot to talk about tomorrow at lunch. 



I woke up to my usual breakfast in bed. It has become a thing of dedication for Demien. I do not want to admit it but I was already slowly falling for him. He is the sweetest and there was no day that passed by that he wouldn’t bring me a gift when he gets back home. 

“Good morning sunshine, I hope you had a good night.” Demien's deep hoarse voice rang in my ears. It sounded like a melody. He kissed me on the forehead. Those kisses make my day and it makes me feel safe. 

“Good morning hun.” I said with my small voice I was starting to feel more comfortable with him. Plus we had the best sex last night. Unlike the first night we both weren't aware of what we were doing this time we were. At the thought of it I became shy. 

When we both got back from the party last night, Demien decided to give me a message. His strong hands gently rubbed my shoulders down to my back. I could see that he was hard from the reflection on the mirror. At the sight of his erected member my nipples hardened. I knew I shouldn’t be feeling that way towards him but I couldn't help it. I just hope I am not using him to move on from Lucian. That has always been my fear because Demien has been nothing but good to me. I hope I am truly over Lucian. 

His hands felt so good it made me wet. If I wasn’t wearing a night robe he would see my wetness sliding down my thigh. My hormones became too much for me to handle.

“Do you want to cuddle your child?” I asked him. I didn't know when the words came out of my mouth. I shut my eyes tightly, almost regretting it immediately. 

“If you don’t mind I would love to.” He seemed interested, good thing he didn’t turn me down. I was already feeling embarrassed. 

“Do you mind?” He asked for my permission to take me to the bed. 

I nodded in approval. 

He picked me up from the chair in a bridal style into his arms. I swallowed hard. 

His masculinity and perfectly built body seems so soft when I rest my head on his chest. His scent fills my nostrils. I was lost fantasizing about his body. I immediately missed his warmth when he dropped me so I pulled him by his shirt and our faces were now facing each other, we were breathing the same air. We looked deep into each other's eyes passionately. 

I shut my eyes close and reached for his lips. I gently sucked on his lips and it tasted like honey. I felt his reluctance to kiss me back so I made a way into his mouth with my tongue. The kiss was getting intense and he couldn’t hold back for too long. I didn't stop him when he hugged me tightly, so I  placed my arms around his neck,  I  needed him too at this moment, we kissed passionately.

“Hmm!” I gasped after he bit my lips gently and then using the opportunity he slipped his tongue into my mouth and swept it all around. I felt his tongue lick my gums and then my teeth, before getting hold of my tongue and sucking it sweetly.

I responded by holding his neck and dragging him down so I could feel him more. His tongue played with mine and then he twisted my tongue and licked it before sliding out and sucking my lips crazily.

“Ahh~Mmm~” I moaned sweetly when he moved from my lips to my neck and I had to close my eyes to feel him deeply.

I felt him bite my neck and then brought out his tongue to lick the bitten spot. I gasped and then bit my lips to stop myself from moaning but I couldn’t hold back for too long. 

“Aria…we shouldn’t be doing this.” His voice sounded so sticky as he buried his head in my neck. 

I stiffened up when I heard it, and then my eyes grew determined, I raised his head and took the initiative this time. 

“I want you.” My voice dripped with lust. Amidst his shocked face, I kissed his lips gently and softly but I frowned after not getting any response, I stopped the kiss in confusion and moved back to see his face but before I could, I was kissed roughly.

This kiss was more intense than the last and it was filled with crazy lust as if he had let go of his endurance, he sucked on my lips and then asked for an entrance which I gave him and he slipped in immediately. He sucked my tongue and dominated my mouth making it hard for me to breathe. 

Then before I could regain my senses he was down sucking my neck desperately then he moved down to my chest and then opened up my cloth and slid it down gently. 

He gently made his way into the bed. I helped him take off his shirt. His vein popped out in his neck. My eyes widened when I saw his structure. He looked really hot. 

In one swift movement I find my naked self in his arms. He gently rubs my nipples but I wanted him to grab me more aggressively. 

“Harder!” I moaned uncontrollably and he seemed reluctant he was trying to be careful. I noticed his stiffness so I helped him move his hand on my boobs. I left out a soft moan when I felt him do it right just as I wanted it. 

My down was hot and wet. My wetness flows like a river. I ached for him. 

His giant hands moved down my thighs and he used his finger to rub and play with my down. I felt the rush and my body weakened. It felt too good I anticipated for more. Then he slid his finger into my hole. 

“Ahh damn.” I cursed. He gently went in and out. I could hear the sound of my wetness.

“I’m so fucking horny.” I cried out frustrated. I wanted more so this time instead of one finger he slid in two. I felt his giant fingers occupy my hole. If two of his fingers could fill me up like that I wonder what he would be like down there. 

It was a mystery I was going to find out, so I traced his body from his face down to his erected member. At the touch of it I felt a new excitement. He was heavy down there. 

I swallowed. 

I slid my hands into his shorts and gently rubbed on his erected member. He let out a soft moan with his deep voice, his moan rang in my head. He sounded so sexy. 

We both pulled away from each other, our breaths heavy in the air. Our eyes locked. He looked at me and patted my hair. I looked at him with lazy eyes. He raised my leg up gently and penetrated me. My eyes widened.

“Oh fuck!” I bite my lower lips. The pleasure was too much for me to contain. 

“Hmm damn .. Do you want me to stop?” His deep hoarse voice echoes in my ear. 

“No please!.” I cried out frustratedly, giving him the permission he needed to devour me. 

He stroked in deeper. I had no idea that was not the whole of him. I gaps when he went all in I moaned uncontrollably. The thought of last night made my cheeks heat up. 

“Someone seems excited.” Demien said he probably noticed I was lost in thought. I couldn’t say anything so I smiled shyly. 

“You are dressed up.” I wasn’t trying to sound disappointed but the words didn’t come out so well. 

“Do you want me to undress?” He whispered in my ears.  It made my hair rise. 

“No, why would I?” I chuckled. I hated how my words openly meant the opposite. Demien knew I was lying but it seems he actually needed to be somewhere and he probably didn’t want us to rush things either. He made sure to help me eat breakfast before deciding to leave. 

Demien left for work, he mentioned that he had a business deal to close and he would be coming back late, while myself, I didn’t really have anything to do. I am just a spoiled housewife. 

I picked up the remote and decided to watch a TV show after having breakfast and freshening up just then  I got a text from Celeste. 

“We should meet up here. I'll send you the location soon.” She stated in her text.
