Sophie’s pov

Paparazzi.

I wasn’t ready for that yet. Especially when Aiden and I had yet to lay down the rules of this fake engagement. We had yet to even discuss anything other than me having to pretend to be his pregnant fiance.

How did the paparazzi even know we were there? How did they know we were ‘engaged’?

Unless…

Was it that interviewer woman?

Was it Aiden’s grandfather?

Aiden’s warmth seeped through me as he tugged me closer and gave me a reassuring squeeze. “I’m right here Sophie. All you have to do is keep your head down, and ignore their words until we’re actually ready to talk.”

I pull in a lungful of air, trying my best to relax my nerves. I’ve never done this before, never even seen a paparazzi in my life before so I had no idea what to expect.

“Ready?” Aiden asked and I nodded slowly.

I was obviously not ready. My stomach was cramping with knots and I thought I was on the verge of having a heart attack. This did not scream ready, this screamed the opposite.

Aiden sensed my hesitation and leans down to whisper in my ears reassuringly. “I’m not going to make anything happen to you Sophie. I’ll be by your side always.”

My heart skipped abeat or two.

His words warmed me and made me feel better, especially with the honest tone he used when he said he would always be by my side.
