Chapter five - "Ariande, please."

" Ariande,come out of the bathroom. Please, why are you torturing me?"

" Xander, I can't do what you asked. I just can't."

" I'll teach you. I don't care if you are still a novice. I love you the way you are." Xander said and she opened the door.

" This is not right,we are not married."

" Then I'll marry you. To prove to you how serious I am about you."

" Then wait till we are married" She said and left for her room. Ariande was surprised and happy. What Gina said actually came to reality?. She was happy that she had finally found love.

She entered the bathroom and took a long refreshing bath. After that she came out with a towel.

" Haaahhh!"  Xander was in her room.." what are you doing here, you unmannered fool. Don't you know how to knock?"

"I came here for something and you are the only one that can do it." He said with his husky voice. That voice always caught her.

"What do you want?"

"I can't wait till we are married, Ariande. I'll die. Take a look" He pointed at his groin. It was hard.

Oh that was what was poking her when Xander kissed her in his room.

"It's hard. You have to tame it or else I will be restless all through the night."

" That's not my business." She said and went to her bed. " Leave so that I can sleep. And close the door behind you." She said and off the lamp. She lay on her bed.

Ariande felt her bed move.

"What..."

"It's me."

" Xander, I asked you to go to your room. Fool."

" Do you think that I will just leave after what you have done to me? You will be the one to tame it." He said and kissed her again. He lay her on the bed and got on top of her immediately. 

"Xander..."

"Please, Ariande, please."

He continued his attack on her, from kissing her lips to her neck,to her stomach and to every part of her body.

*************************

The next day

Ariande woke up and felt her body on something.

Xander

What happened last night crossed her mind. 

And she blushed.

" How are you?" Xander asked. He rested his head on his palm and lay with his side in order to face her.

" I am fine."

" Did you enjoy last night?"

"What kind of question is that?" She hit him with a pillow and ran to the bathroom. Xander chuckled.

***************************

Xander took Ariande to see his mother in Las Vegas. Ariande was happy to see her. His mother still looked young and beautiful. That's money speaking anyway.

" Oh my prince,you have finally decided to see your mother after a long time." Mrs Kate said hugging her son.

" Mum, I have been busy with work." Xander replied. Kate's eyes went to Ariande who was smiling at their warm reception. This reminded her of her own mother.

"Who is she?" Kate whispered to her son's hearing.

" Oh, Ariande, this is my mother. Mum, this is Ariande, my fiancee." Xander introduced.

" Good day ma'am. It's nice to see you." Ariande bowed.

"So you are the woman that had trapped my son," Kate said angrily.

"No ma'am. It's not like that. I didn't trap him, I just love him."

" Love him, you don't love him,you love his money." Ariande's fear had came to pass. She wasn't sure if Xander's mother would accept her. For once she had had hope that she would have a mother. Tears began to roll down her cheeks. 

" Dear" Kate hugged her to Ariande's Surprise. " I was just trying to see your reaction. " Kate said smiling. Ariande heaved a sigh of relief.

" Mum you scared the shit out of me." Xander said and Kate smacked his arm.

" How many times do I have to tell you about your usage of foul words?"

" I am sorry. Aren't you going to invite us in?"

" Come in my children. Take a seat. I'll make you coffee." They sat down and Kate stood up to get the coffee but she was stopped.

" Don't worry ma'am, I will make the coffee." Ariande said and dashed off.

" She's a good girl." Kate told Xander.

" Yeah, and her coffee is addicting. I am already addicted to it. I take it everyday."

" You really love her. I give my consent to your marriage." 

" Thanks mum." Xander hugged his mother. Ariande walked in with three cups of coffee. 

"What is the celebration all about?"she said.

" Mum has consented to our environment!" Xander exclaimed. Ariande jumped for joy and hugged Kate.

Three months later

"Ariande, I can't believe that I am your bridesmaid." Gina said.

" It's still like a dream to me. And Xander is so handsome,rich and strong." Sydney said

" You are so lucky,sis." Gina said again.

"You were right, when you said that it was destiny." Ariande added.

" Next time believe me when I speak. Wow,you look beautiful in your wedding dress."  Gina said.

" I wonder when mine will be."Sydney lamented. Someone knocked on the door.

"Come in" Ariande said.

" Ariande, the wedding ceremony has begun." John informed

" Ok, I'll be down in a minute." She said and he left.

The wedding was a success. Sydney wouldn't stop crying. She would miss her sister a lot. Now that Ariande had got married Sydney felt that Ariande would not have time for her anymore like she used to.

A decorated limousine was arranged to ride the newly weds. Everyone stood aside as they watched the couple leave. They all wave their hands as farewell. 

"Sis has finally found happiness and true love." Sydney said admist her tears.

" I am so happy for her." Gina said while smiling.

" Me too." Sydney said and they both left the wedding reception for home.

**************************

Xander carried Ariande in a bridal style until they got to their hotel room. He opened the door with a card. When they got inside, Xander lay her on the bed.

He started to pull his tie and suit jacket.

"Have I told you that you look handsome?" Ariande asked looking at Xander as he pulled his attires.

" Nope." 

" I am telling you now that you look handsome and hot." Ariande said while approaching him. She began to move her hands all over his chest. " Strong arms, chest and neck, well defined abs,soft hair, delicious lips." She continued her description and paused. She looked into his eyes " what a beautiful eyes you have."

"Hold on, Ariande. Are you indirectly saying that you need me tonight?" He asked and she nodded her head.

"Also can't I compliment my husband's handsome physique anymore?"

" Yes you can. And I will satisfy you tonight. I will also make sure you get pregnant tonight. I can't wait to hear the cry of my baby." 

" It's not your baby. It's mine."

" No it's mine." 

"I disagree,Xander. I will carry him for nine months. And deliver it."

" I will plant my seed in your belly with great effort. And when you start with your mood swings, who will be there for you?, It is me."

" Ok, it's our baby."

" Good."

" So when are you going to start planting,mr farmer?. We need to harvest in the next nine months."

"Yes ma'am"

******************

Nine months later

Ariande was rushed to the labour room by Gina and Sydney. She was in excruciating pain. 

" Xander!" Ariande called out to her husband.

" Sydney, call Xander." Gina ordered.

" Hello" Sydney said over the phone.

" Yes Sydney,any problem?" Xander replied.

"Ariande..." 

"Yes?" 

" Ariande is in the labour room. She needs you."

" I'll be there." Xander hung up the call and zoomed off. With a blink of an eye, he arrived at the hospital.

" Where is my wife?" He asked the nurse.

" She's in ward 101." She replied and he rushed out and located the ward. He heard Ariande calling out to him. 

" Xander" Ariande called out again.

" Ma'am, you have to push harder. "

 " I want...my husband here." 

" He's here."  Xander rushed in and held her hands.

" I'm here now." 

**************************

Five hours later

Ariande gave birth to a set of twins, a boy and a girl. Xander felt fulfilled as he set his eyes on his children. His happiness knew no bound. The girl looked exactly like Ariande while the boy took after him.

Xander loved his daughter more because each time he looked at  her Ariande appears in his mind.

The opposite occured to Ariande. She loved her son more.

The arrival of these sweet children brought joy in their home. Kate wasn't left out in the celebration.
