The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

“So you’re saying that Aiden Xavier. Thee Aiden Xavier bought you a hundred red roses and wrote you a love note?” Mila asked, looking baffled as she looked around the apart- ment that was still….littered with red roses.

I had better clean them up but my heart didn’t want to get rid of them.

I was in a tug war, one side knew I had to get rid of a good amount because I can’t possibly have so many in one room….yet the other part want to see them everyday even when they’ll be wilted.

That’s how much I want to cherish these roses Aiden had given to me. Such a sweet surprise…..one that made him break down any remaining walls I had left around my heart.

I chewed on my nails and nod while trying to fight a smile.

Mila’s eyes widen. “You’re kidding. This cannot be the same Aiden in high school.” She gasped looking around the entire room that still looked like the red sea even though I tried my best to push the roses to one side.

“You’re so lucky Soph. Aiden’s a charmer and a romantic. Lucky bit-” Ria stopped when I sent her a glare that told her to shut it before she said the bad word.

She smiles shakily and looks down at Ash who was curled -in her arms.

We had resumed to watching some television and then played a little with the orange small ball Aiden had gifted to him. We had been at it for hours until the girls arrived.

But now in Ria’s hold, my baby looked exhausted.

Ria rocked him and pointed at the outside deck, telling me silently that she’d be over there with Ash.
