CHAPTER TWO.
LUNA’S POV.I open my eyes and graon in pain as I feel my head hurt like it had been hit by a truck. I sit up straight on the bed and scan the bedroom.It's not mine.I would never have black drapes, black carpet and a black duvet.The events of last flood my mind and I lie on the bed covering my face with the dovet as I groan in frustration. Ace and I had quite a drinking spree last night and ended up spending the night on his bed. This is just crazy. I retrieve my phone from the nightstand and when I unlock it, I'm not surprised to see thirty missed calls from Alora. I bailed on her last night and I know she's going to kill me when I get home.Just then, a door opens and Ace walks in with a towel tied around his waist. His wet hair is ruffled and I swallow hard when my eyes fall on his well formed eight packs. The droplets of water trickling down the abs drive me insane and without warning my mind travels to what happened between us last night. The way he had handled my body with care, like I was some fragile creature that he didn't want to hurt. The way he had made love to me, like he loved me from the depth of his heart. It felt like he was worshipping my body. Last night was spectacular."Like what you see?" He asks with a cocky smile and I immediately tear my eyes off him as I clear my throat."I need a towel.”"Well... good morning to you too." He greets with a sweet smile."Towel, please.”"One minute.” He disappears into another room and later comes back with a towel and hands over to me."Thank you." My voice is raspy. My face is red. My heart is pounding in my chest."You're welcome."I step down from the bed, ignoring the fact that I'm naked and wrap the towel around my body. There's no need to act all shy after all, we had sex. It's not like he hasn't already seen me naked. Besides, I have nothing to be ashamed of, I have an awesome body.I walk into the sophisticated bathroom and cringe at the sight of it.Totally masculine, just like my brother's. I do my business and take a shower and when I'm done, I go into the bedroom where I meet Ace all dressed up, sitting on a sofa and sipping coffee. I scan around for my clothes but I can't find them."I ... I can't find my clothes.""I took them to the laundry room.""So...what am I gonna wear?""You can wear mine." He suggests, shrugging his shoulders."O... kay""The closet is over there." He points to another door and I quietly walk over to it and get into the room. It's quite spacious and well organised. He's got like an entire mall of clothes and shoes of different brands and he sure has a knack for Tuxedos because an entire wardrobe is filled with Tuxedos.I'm impressed.I use his lotion to rub my body and put on a pair of grey sweatpants and white t-shirt. I tie my hair into a messy pony tail and go back to the bedroom."I have to be in my way now.”"Stay for breakfast and later in I'll ask one of my driver's to take you home.”"Thanks, but you don't have to worry, I'll call a cab.""Luna, I insist and I'm not taking no for an answer. Now sit down." He orders.Oh... He's bossy."Great!" I say as roll my eyes and sit on the bed."Do not ever roll your eyes at me again." He warns."Fine." I say, almost rolling my eyes again."There's something you need to know.”"I know what happened last night was a mistake, a one night stand that has to be gotten over.” I babble as play with my fingers.It wasn't a mistake to me though, I was conscious of what we were doing and in a way I wanted it to happen. I kind of like Ace and having sex with him has always sounded appealing to me, so last night was like fulfilling a long time wish and also I needed to get my mind off the break up with Seven and the sex was the perfect way to do it.I will never forget that one night stand we had."Last night was not a mistake." Ace contradicts and I look at him in shock. He nods his head. “Yeah, to me it wasn't. I actually enjoyed every moment of it so don't ever say that.""It was just a one night stand." I insist."I know that, but I cheated you.""What do you mean by that?""I didn't use the condom I was supposed to use."The confession jarrs in my ears like loud music. He cannot be serious. God please, he should not be serious.He's a selfish bastard!"You sneaky son of a..." I pause and swallow the next word that had to come out "What?" I ask aghast."I'm sorry...I'm just not a condom guy.""Oh my God you have an STI right? or worst still you have HIV. You've infected me!" I cry in horror as I feel my nerves tensioning all over my body and my heart starts hammering against my chest. I'm actually trembling right now. What was I even thinking when I agreed to come here with him?This is just the end of me."Jesus! No Luna, I'm not sick. I have none of these illnesses. I'm healthy. I swear!" He says seriously and I feel my nerves relax. In a few seconds I'm calm again but my heart is still racing."You swear?""I swear Luna I'm healthy.""Ok""Are you still mad?""Of course I am, I could get pregnant you moron!""Then I'm going to find you. Even if it means turning this world up-side-down, I would.""You wouldn't.""Try me.”He says, looking at me straight in the eye. The rumors aren't true after all. They say he's bossy and ruthless. Yeah, he's bossy and that's annoying as hell, but he's not ruthless. He has been nothing, but caring to me ever since we met and now he's determined to take responsibility for a pregnancy that isn't even certain yet.That doesn't sound like ruthlessness to me. I find his concern entirely genuine. He's undisputably a gentleman."Yeah whatever, can I go now?""No you cannot, you have to eat first and also, were not done talking.""What's there for us to talk about?""The pregnancy.""Jesus Christ, Ace, I said I COULD get pregnant not I WILL get pregnant. It's not certain yet.""I know that, but I want to be the first person you tell if that happens. Can you promise to do that?""Why would you care?" I ask, curious."Because I take responsibility for my actions.""Alright then, I promise.""Thank you.""Why won't you just let me go?""Because you have to take breakfast and I brought you here so it's only right for me to see to it that you get home safe and sound. I'm trying hard to be a gentleman, so please don't ruin it for me" He pleads in a serious tone and I can't help but chuckle."You've got some sense of humor after all.”"Oh, you will be shocked at the things I've got" He says with cocky smile."Indeed I will.""Want me to show you more?""Oh no, I saw more than enough last night.""Fascinated, weren't you?""I'll just... go and help the maids prepare breakfast." I say nervously as I exit the bedroom with him still laughing.I'm still feeling giddy from last night's hot sex, I'm not ready to talk about it with him.CHAPTER THREE.LUNA’S POV.“Thank you so much for the heart attack! There's something called a cellphone Luna and you've got one, a very good one at that. One phone call would've saved me all the trouble."Says a raging Alora when I step into the living room. I'm dead meat."I'm sorry.""I said to go out and have fun, not to unleash the whore in you.""I couldn't help it, Alora please let me explain.""I'm all... " She suddenly halts and looks at me from head to toe. "Whose clothes are those you have on?" She asks as she stands akimbo."Um... It's part of the explanation.” I purse my lips together."Ok then, commence." She says as she makes herself comfortable on the couch. I walk helter skelter around the living room wondering how I have to start telling to her that I had a one night stand which was actually a memorable one with the famous Ace Damon.When I'm done narrating to her the events of last night and this morning, Alora is staring at me like I suddenly turned into a ghost. I
CHAPTER FOUR.ACE’S POV“You have been talking to your mum about us, haven't you?" She asks with a frown."No babe, it's my decision. I really want us to get married. I want us to start our own family already.""Like... You wanna have children?""Sounds cool right?" I ask with a smile."No it doesn't, this is not cool." She denies flatly."Why not?" I ask confused."We already had this talk the other time you were hell bent on impregnating me. I'm not having kids until I'm twenty-six. I still have three more years to go.”"Come on, love.""I'm serious Ace, no kids until I'm twenty six.”"So, what I really want doesn't matter to you?""Provided I'm the one to carry the pregnancy for nine months while you get all the congratulations, it doesn't!" She says firmly and I bow my head down in dissapointment.I'm twenty-six years old and financially stable enough to raise children, but the woman I will love to have my children with is not ready. All I can do is wait. Three years won't kill me
CHAPTER FIVE KYLE'S POVI completely loose it when Luna shuts her eyes and her hand slides away from mine. I watch blankly as the nurses take her into the emergency room. I'm about to call doctor George, but I stop when I see him rush into the emergency ward with other doctors. I walk helter-skelter about the corridor, totally confused and frustrated. She was perfectly okay yesterday. She had taken down all the financial records of the day and presented to me and she didn't even show any sign of ill health. We even had dinner at our parents place and she had entertained them with complains about how I always beg her to put on my cufflinks every morning in my office.I love my baby sister despite the fact that she annoys the hell out of me sometimes. I have adored her from the day she was born. I was five years old. I can still remember how I cuddled her in my arms and refused to let her go when my father took me to the hospital. Every night at home I would sneak into her bedroom and w
KYLE'S POV"I was so scared Luna""I don't even know why I fainted, have you spoken with Doctor George yet?" She asks eagerly."Yes" I say nodding."What did he say the problem is?""Well..." I hold her hands and kiss them "Can I ask you a question?""Yeah, go on""Are you still in touch with Seven?""No, why do you ask?""You mean since you broke up with him he hasn't called or texted to check on you?""Well... I once met a missed call but when I called back it went straight to voicemail. Typical Seven" She says shrugging and I feel like bursting into tears. Of all the men in the world, she had to get pregnant for a guy who has blatantly refused to see her worth, a guy who doesn't see it necessary to make out time for her, a workaholic.Father Lord!"Wow, he's such a looser""Why do you ask?""Princess the doct
LUNA'S POVSo telling my parents about the pregnancy didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would. Well...just maybe because I didn't tell them who is responsible for it. I don't want them to blow things out of proportion. This is a rather complicated issue and I need to handle it with a cool head else things will get very messy. That is the last thing I want to happen.I take a closer look at myself in the mirror and shake my head sadly. In a few months time this awesome shape will be nothing but a round potato. I'm going to miss looking hot and sexy. I gently caress my tummy with trembling hands. I still cannot believe there is a little life growing in there and that will depend on my body for food and shelter for the next eight months.Wow, that sounds scary.My cell phone rings from my bedroom and I out on my bathing rub and go to get it. I smile instantly on seeing the name Asher
LUNA'S POVAt the hospital, the doctor is all about me being careful and eating healthy and listing precautions I can hardly keep in my mind. The ultrasound is done and to tell you what, I cry when i see my little potato on the screen. The doctor tells me in a few months they will be able to know its gender and I'm all excited right now. I don't have a preference when it comes to children though. All I want is a healthy normal baby with no complications.I cannot get enough of my baby's image so I hold the printed copy of the ultrasound and admire it absentmindedly as I walk along the long hospital corridor. Suddenly I feel my body hit against a hard surface and the photo falls off my hands. I look up to see what I just bumped into and I realize that it is actually a human being's chest and not a hard surface."Luna" The owner of the chest calls and when I look up a
"Don't be ridiculous, I would never have second thoughts about keeping my child" I say as start to eat my food. "All of this looks so healthy""I just ordered healthy food for a pregnant woman and they brought all these""You are so sweet" I say with a sweet smile and he chuckles "Wait, did you watch me sleep all this while?""Yeah, and it was quite a fascinating sight. You looked very cute while sleeping""Are you trying to say now that I'm awake I don't look cute?""No you don't" He denies flatly and I bite my lips in dissapointment. "You look like a goddess. Gorgeous, totally gorgeous" He says with a sweet smile and I blush hard.This is so weird and I feel guilty for having such a good time with someone else's fiance. The fact that he watched me sleep all day still hasn't settled on my mind. This child I'm carrying is such a lucky being."Aren't you going to eat something too?""I'm not...""Come on, please. I
"You do know we have a lot to talk about right?""Like?" I ask uncertain."Your diet""What about it?" I ask curious."I'm going to get you a chef, you can't go around eating just anything. I am not ready to take that kind of risk""You are blowing things out of proportion. For Christ's sake I am only pregnant, I'm not dying""I know honey, I know, but we still have to talk about it" he insists."You are impossible""Doctor Kevin said your next check up will be on Wednesday. I will pick you up so we can go together""That won't be necessary""It will be, I am not going to miss out any moment of this pregnancy, so deal with it""Can I just go inside already?, Please?""I am sorry for stressing you out" He says with a sweet smile as steps closer to me and now we are just a few inches away from each other. I feel my heart beat increase in pace as he brings his face closer to mine and my breath seizes when he plants
