ARIS POV
*TWO WEEKS LATER*
I stood up from the couch immediately I saw him come out of his room, he was surprised to see me up by that time of the day and more surprised to see me waiting for him.
"Good morning" I greeted and he smiled briefly before resuming back his confused face. "Why ? Are you waiting for me ?" He asked me still looking very surprised but this time around there was a bit of concern on his face.
"I was..." I answered a bit timid to talk but I had no choice. I could barely sleep last night just thinking about things, so my curiosity got the best of me.
"Are you okay ? Is there any problem ? If it was that important you should have knocked on my door" he answered hastily as he looked at me from head to toe inspecting my every move.
"I am fine, I just wanted to ask about something I can't get my head off" I said with a small smile. I felt stupid for making him worry over nothing and tried my best to reassure him that I was fine, although he wasn't very pleased and satisfied with my answer he just had to drop it.
"What question ?" He asked me gazing at me like I was some kid who was about to request for a candy."It's about last night" I answered and he frowned.
"What about last night ? Did anything happen last night that I am unaware of ?" He asked and I sighed.
Last night was more like every other night, but he spoke to his mom last night and told me he was going to talk to her about me and the baby shower.
"Your mom what did she say ?" I asked impatiently, I needed to stop beating around the bush for him to understand me properly. "About what ?" He asked and I frowned. What was wrong with him ? Was he trying to make me frustrated or was he joking with me ?
"Come on !" I yelled and let out a groan out of frustration. I saw the smile appear on his face before he burst into a warm laughter, he was truly playing with me acting like he did not know what I was talking about."Are you that eager to know ? Did you even get any sleep at all ? Because, how come did you wake up before me ?" He asked in the mist of his laughter and this made me pissed.
I walked back to the couch and sat down lazily on it as I frowned my face as much as I can to put on my angry act. And of course he believed it and stopped laughing and walked towards me. "Are you angry ?" He asked but I said nothing and avoided his eye at all times. That was the number one rule in order not to break character. "I was only joking with you, how come are you taking it personal ?" He responded but I still said nothing."Gosh ! I'm so sorry okay ?" He apologized and i had no other choice than to reply. "Apology accepted" I answered and he smiled and sat down next to me.
"Guess what mom said ?" He asked and I turned to look at him. How could he asked me to guess when I clearly waited all through the night to hear how she reacted from him.
"Just tell me, was she mad at you ?" I asked him and he chuckled."She was mad at me" he answered and my face fell. I knew it , no mother would like the fact that their son got a nobody like me pregnant and also got in a big mess of a drunken marriage. No parents would welcome the idea of a drunk marriage.
"Oh okay, so what are we going to do ?" I asked and he smiled. "She was angry but she forgave right away and is willing to accept you and the baby, she also promised to testify about our marriage and she wants to meet you as soon as possible." He answered and I immediately felt happy again.
At last things was falling into places. Once the immigration get off us then we would be able to face just the problem of putting the fraud officials away too. "What about your dad ? Is he okay with it ?" I asked him as it occurred to me that he does not talk about him. "You don't need to worry once my mom falls in love with you my dad will also do the same" he answered although he was calm and reserve about his dad I could tell that his dad was the hard nut to crack.
"I'm so happy to know that this phase would soon be over and with that, the order of Gabriella's works would be dealt with and settled" I said sincerely I was really excited and I'm looking forward to finding the solution to restore his company's image.
"Yes Aris, we would overcome them all together" he answered and held my hands as he tap them softly.
"So when are we going to meet her, I need to prepare myself" I asked. "Prepare yourself ? For what? a state university exam ?" He asked sarcastically and I could not hold in my laughter. "You know, I just need to make sure nothing goes wrong. You know a lot depends on this" I responded.
"You don't need to do all of that, all you need is to be you. Mom is out of town now, we would see her on Friday. She should be back before then" he answered and I smiled. "Good I have three days to prepare for it" I answered and he chuckled.
"Just be you Aris, you don't need to get worked up okay ?" He said staring at me in the eye. "Of course" I reassured him and he stood up and picked up his suite case ready to leave for work.
"See you soon I'm off now" he said and waved at me I stood up immediately to see him out. "Make sure you call me if anything is wrong okay?" He said as he opened the door.
"I will, see you soon" I said with a smile and closed the door.
