CHAPTER SIXTEEN: Visitor

ARIEL'S POV

"Morning, baby," I greets as I watch Aiden awaken from his slumber, using his hand to rub his eyes and yawning like a baby. Moving closer to me, he gives me a very passionate kiss. "Mmm, morning kisses, I like it." After we disengage from the kiss, I get out of bed, and he asks me where I'm going. I tell him I need to run an errand for Alex.

Taking a deep breath, I remember his third request: "I'm craving Pozole from Los Ojos Restaurant in Jamez Spring."

"Oh, no," I mutter, unable to believe I would have to embark on a two-hour drive just to get some soup. He's such a jerk.

"Do you want me to go with you? I might just take a day off work," Aiden proposes, and I can't believe how romantic he's being. Moving closer to him, I give him another kiss, and we both chuckle before I get up from the bed and head to the bathroom.

"Don't worry, I've got this," I say as I enter the bathroom to take care of my business.

After dressing up, I bid Aiden goodbye and leave to get the soup.
