The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

After warming up some canned soup for Ashton, I returned to the room and passed the small bowl to

Aiden who insisted that he would feed him.

I left the two to bond and went back to the living room to talk to Mila and Ria.

They both looked at me, silently asking me why I came back without the bowl and Ashton.

“I left him with Aiden who insisted on feeding him himself,” | said and plopped on one of the sofas.

Ria smiled. “He’s trying to bond with him. How cute.”

I couldn’t help but agree with her. Aiden was trying really hard and the doubts I had about him were

slowly starting to

disperse.

“How did Ash come down with the cold anyway?” Mila asked

in concern.

I let out a sigh. “I have no idea, Mila. They called me to pick him up. When we got there, he had a fever

so Aiden and I brought him to the hospital.”

“Did the fever go down at least?” Mila asked with concern ringing in her voice.

I nod. “His body temperature is almost back to normal.”

Mila looks relieved.

“What about Aiden? Is he sleeping over? When we got there, that Mitch guy had just given him a duffel

bag.” Ria worded.

I nervously bit my lip. They were my roommates and it was to be expected of me to warn them about a

guest staying over. That guest just so happens to be Aiden who wasn’t anyone’s favorite person right

now.

I nod when the two looked at me, waiting for my response.

“Yes. He didn’t want to leave Ashton.” I admitted, awkwardly looking away from them.

“And you too,” Ria added with a snort.

“How’s his dick by the way?” She asked with a little chuckle at the end.

My face heated up with a slight flush. “Good I think. He doesn’t look like he’s thrashing in pain

anymore.”

Ria nods. “Good. That’s a really good thing. Hopefully, it still works so we can get another cute baby

like Ash.”

My eyes widen slightly and I looked at her in shock. She smirks. “Aren’t you two engaged? Babies

come next right?” She teased causing my swallowed saliva to go into the wrong

hole.

I started coughing up like an old hag.

Ria laughs and Mila comes to my rescue by scolding Ria. “It’s a fake engagement, Ria. That means

their relationship will be fake, no sex,” She then looks at me, her eyes dimming with

doubt. “Right?”

My eyes widen and I coughed even more. These two were making it difficult for me to breathe properly.

Ria burst into a fit of giggles. “See how she’s coughing and taking her longest to answer? Our little

Sophie is right on her way to getting pregnant.”

If it were possible my eyes widened even more and the coughs began to get louder. Mila rushes to

grab a glass of water and passes it over to me and pats my back as I gulped down the water.

“If he hurts you again Soph we’re not playing with him this time. He’ll wish he was never born.” Mila

promised, seeming to already make up her mind that Aiden and I would be getting together for real.

Pulling the cup away from my lips, I said.” Guys, can we stop talking about this please?” I whined.

Ria’s eyes crinkled at the corners. “See how she didn’t deny it, Mila? Get your money ready for a baby

shower.”

I started coughing again and Ria laughed louder while Mila smacked the middle of my back. “Ria would

you leave her alone? These coughs are brutal, watch how they shake our Sophie’s tiny body.” Mila

joked.

I turned around to smack her hand away and glared at her. “Would you two stop!?”

“No I don’t think so. Your reactions are priceless.” Ria snorted and the two continue to tease me about

Aiden until they got

serious and asked about the fake engagement.

I told them everything, not leaving out any detail knowing I could trust them.

When I was done, Mila’s eyes are wide and Ria looks stunned.

“Is Sergio Harrington that wicked?” Mila asked with disgust.

I nod. “Yes. Apparently to get what he wants he’ll do anything.”

Mila looks worried. “I’d be careful if I were you Soph. He sounds dangerous.”

I nodded. “He is. But I’m doing this for my son.”

Ria’s eyes narrowed on my face. “You’re doing this for your son and for yourself. It’s not hard to read

between the lines Soph. You’re falling for him all over again.” Ria pointed out.

“I’m with Ria on this. For once I agree with her. You’re still in love with Aiden Soph. And I can’t believe

I’m about to say this but maybe your two should try out being a family. If it doesn’t work out, at least you

know you’ve tried.” Mila voiced.

I groaned, burying my face in my hands. “Was it that obvious?”

“Yes. But hey, I don’t think you’re the only one in love Soph. Just take things slow and you’ll see.

Maybe Aiden Xavier had always loved you and never stopped.” Mila responded thoughtfully.

Now it was my turn to snort as I lift my head and stared at the two. “Don’t be ridiculous. Aiden has

never loved me.”

“I suppose you’ve never looked into his eyes when we were in high school. It was obvious then and it’s

even more obvious now. Yes, I hate him for how he treated you but I can’t deny that the guy is trying

his best to make things work out with you now.” Mila continued.

I shook my head. “Can we move off this topic, please? It’s embarrassing enough that I made a promise

to not love him again only to be called out on my bullshit by you two. I don’t think my heart even tried to

stop loving him.” I grumble.

“Sometimes the heart doesn’t choose who to beat for Soph. It just happens.” Mila whispered and Ria

nodded in agreement.

The three of us spoke for some more until the clock struck seven p.m. It’s been a good hour, Ashton

should be done by

now.

I got up to leave and strutted towards my room. When I opened the door I’m greeted with a

heartwarming sight.

Aiden is fast asleep with Ashton also fast asleep on his chest. His strong arms are around Ash

protectively.

I noted that he got rid of his sweats and was now in his briefs. I giggled and walked over to them,

treading on the floors lightly.

When I’m hovering over the two, I stared down at Aiden and I couldn’t help but smile.

His eyes fluttered open suddenly which startled me.

A sleepy smile curved on his mouth. “When are you coming to bed mama bear?”
