Lana~“Where are we going to?” I ask, looking outside the windshield, everywhere was dark yet he kept driving. Aaron glances at me, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips."Patience, Lana. Patience.” He whispers. I roll my eyes, willing myself to have the patience he is preaching about, after all we will be there soon, I hope.Minutes later we arrived at his house. Yes, his house. I furrowed my eyebrows as I got out of the car, looking around in confusion.“We are at your home.” I say and he nods, smiling shyly at me. I tilt my head sideways, already thinking thoughts. His eyes widen on seeing my ‘thinking' face according to him.“No, no, no. I didn’t bring you here for that.” He rushes out, I nod, waiting for more explanation. He sigh’s resignedly, holding my hand and leads me towards the elevator.“I just, it’s pretty late to get a proper place and I didn’t want things to stay undone for so long so I decided to do something.” The elevator doors shut close, I watch Aaron fidget s

Lana~I woke up the next day, body sore from all angles. I groaned, stretching my arms over my head, the feeling of someone staring at me washed over me. my eyes fluttering open only to see Aaron’s face inches away from mine, he smiles as our eyes met.“Creep.” Aaron chuckles, leaning even closer to me and kisses me on the cheeks. “Good morning girlfriend.” Memories from last night came rushing back to me. I stare at the man hovering over me, a smile making its way to my lips.“Good morning, boyfriend.” I reply. Aaron leans down, his breathe fanning against my face. I push him back with my hand “Morning breathe.” I tell him but he rolls his eyes.“You’re ridiculous.” He mutters, swatting my hand away before smashing his lips against mine. I struggle for a second before wrapping my arm around his neck, smiling when he begins to pepper kisses all over my face, finally letting me space to breathe.“Come on, we should leave for work now.” I say, sitting up. Aaron grunts, falling on the be

Lana~"Mother?” I blurted. Mom quirks an eyebrow up, "Oh, so you do remember you have a mother?” She asks snarkily. I felt my face heat up in embarrassment.“What are you doing here, mother?” She walks closer to me, dropping her bag on the table. "You’ve been ignoring my calls as well as your father’s. Care to tell me why?” She asks, her gaze heavy on me. I felt my heartbeat quicken as I gulp the pile in my throat."You shouldn’t have to come my work, mother.” I countered but she seemed unshaken."You didn’t give me a chance now, did you? Besides it’s by my merit you got your job so?” She eyes my office distastefully."By your merit? What have you even-“ I paused, swallowing the lump rising in my throat. I shouldn’t loose my cool. I should just talk to her calmly so we don’t end up in a yelling competition.Mother stated at me for some seconds and sighs. "The part was last weekend, you didn’t come and you ignored our calls and messages, making me the laughing stock of the country.”

Lana~“Your mom came here?” I nod.“She saw Mr Carlsen?” I nod again.“She invited him for dinner in your home?” I nod again. Sasha clicks her tongue, shaking her head “That’s not good-news.” She says.Ellie blanches, slapping Sasha on the wrist. “Don’t speak like that, maybe she genuinely wants to know him and you know..” she trails off, hands falling limply beside her."Yeah, Sasha is right. It’s not good news. She came here with something else in mind but the moment she realizes Aaron is my boyfriend, she changes her demeanor. I know how my mom thinks and..”"She only wants to sell you to Aaron.” Sasha blurts out. Ellie slaps her on the arm again."Leave it, Ellie. She’s right. That exactly what’s going on with my mom now. She’s only thinking of the new social ladders this will bring to her. She’s only thinking of how good it will be for her.” I sighed, picking the cabbage in my food apart.“What are you going to do? It’s sure that when Mr Carlsen gets there, she’s going to have

Lana~“What’s wrong? You have been quiet ever since. Are we good? Did I do something wrong? Are you-" Aaron blabbers on. I reach out, placing my hand on his, a guilty smile displayed on my lip.“You did nothing, I promise. I’m just thinking of Saturday.” The tension seemed to deflate as his shoulders sag. He exhaled softly, holding my hand in his and brings it up to his lips, placing a kiss on my knuckles.“Why? Because we are going to meet your mom?” He asks and I chuckled, looking outside the windshield, the car wheel going fast.“That’s one, I mean. I was supposed to beat your ass during our cooking competition.” I say, Aaron snorts ugly.“That’s a dream you cannot attain, Lana Monroe but do you want to tell me what’s really going on with you?” He asks, voice firmer, not buying my excuse.I sigh, letting my hand loose from his hold. "My family is..” I trailed off, not knowing how to get the words out of my mouth.“Remember, every family has their problems. You can trust me with wha

Lana~Aaron walks out of the room in the pajamas I gave him, a smile cross my lips on seeing him looking so comfortable and cute, that too in my home.“Hey.” I whisper, patting the space beside him so he could sit down. He walks closer to me, taking his seat beside me, a smile crossing his features.“They still haven’t delivered it?” He asks and I shake my head. It’s been thirty minutes and the food hasn’t arrived here yet. I’m starving and I’m sure he is too.“Come here” he holds his hand out, pulling me to him. I took the hint and stood up, sitting on his thighs, my legs sprawled beside his so I could look at him. Aaron wraps his hands around my waist. “Called your mom?” He asks and i nod."We’ll go tomorrow but right now…" I trail off, gaze dropping to his luscious lips. His tongue powers out, circling his lower lip. “Aaron leans closer to me, rubbing our noses together "Don’t be shy, take what you want.” He mutters, giving me all the encouragement I need. I lean even closer to hi

Lana~This is it. I exhale, turning to see Aaron already staring at me, he clasps his hand against mine, squeezing gently in a reassuring manner.“Come on, let’s get this dinner started.” He tells me. I nod, looking out the windshield where my house was. Mother and Father are both in there, waiting for us.We got down from the car, I stood by the gate, looking at the building, a shudder ran down my spine. I felt Aaron’s hand encompass mine, giving me the encouragement I very well need."Come on, it can’t be that bad.” He mutters, taking the first move and pushed the gate aside. I follow his lead and stepped into the compound, walking straight to the door.I sucked in my breathe, knocking the door twice. “Hey.” Aaron calls out beside me. I hum, waiting for them to open the door. “I like you a lot, Lana Monroe.” He whispers. A smile made it’s way to my face as soon as he utters those words, immediately turning to see him already looking at me. He grins, holding my hand in his and brin
