"Then what happened?" Noah asked.
"Well, when we got home. Nolan had told everyone that she fell off a cliff, since he didn't specify which cliff and said he didn't remember. They've been checking famous tourist sites. She stayed in my car till I booked her flight and sent her to my apartment"
"You guys went to the same university?"Rosaline asked
"Yeah, Becky"
"Catherine was Becky?" Noah gasped "I almost had incest with my own sister"
"Is there any other way to have incest?"Nara asked
"Yeah..." Noah said "...no" realizing she was being sarcastic
" But Becky is Kayid's mom" He added
"Surrogate, she gave me one of her egg, I didn't think I was going to get married and I didn't want to so it worked out for me. I could have a child and be free of commitment "
"Turns out heaven had other plans" Renee said
"Clearly" Rosaline answered in his stead.
"Ha ha" Shaan said sarcastically and smiled.
His phone pinged, it was a notification of their flight.
"All done...was that our flight notify?"
"Yeah"
"Let's be on our way ,then" She strapped Kayid to herself with the baby carrier.
Shaan carried their traveling box downstairs.
"Look at them go. They're in sync, she must be really happy" Nara said " I need a man" She said and left as if she had a plan.
" You think we can be like that someday?" Renee said
"We can try to make it better than that"
"What can be better?"
"Me and you, together " He turned her face to him and kissed her.
She giggled" You are something "
"You're everything" He kissed her again and deepened it.
**. **. **.
After 2 hours flight back to Florida, Miami. It dawned on her ,that she was exhausted.
She showered first ,then went to fix dinner. Shaan fed Kayid his cereal and took of him then put him to bed.
He went to the kitchen.
"What is the chef preparing for this humble servant?"
"Chicken stew and my mom's weird rice concoction"
"Y'know you could feed me something else,that would satisfy me better" He hand went up her thigh to her buttock.
" I'm busy Shaan"
He grabbed her buttock "Come on, it's been long"
"Long?....we had sex in the morning"
" I prefer the term made love"
"Let go of my a** ,child"
"Child.... would a child do this" He knelt and slid into her gown.
His tongue stroked thigh, she shivered her knees went weak, she turned off the cooker.
" You're even more ready than I am" He carried her, to their bedroom.
Rosaline couldn't get used to the princess treatment he gave her.
And dinner was cancelled that night, later in the night she went to put away her half cooked stew ,she poured it into a bowl
"Looks more like soup" she muttered to herself.
She took out cereal and fruits, she'd been craving the mix for quite a while.
She'd never eaten it before but it was in her head.
She took out bananas and an apple from the refrigerator
She chopped the apple and two of the banana, then blended it.
"This better be good"
After mixing the smoothie with the cereal, she sat down. For a while ,she didn't move or do anything.
Then she burst out laughing till tears started to stream down her face.
Shaan had gotten out of bed a minute after Rosaline left the room. He had been watching her make the worst type of meal he'd ever seen. But as long as she was happy, it didn't matter.
Why's she laughing now?....wait she's crying?
He sighed and went to pat her after agreeing in his mind that women were a roller coaster of emotions.
"What's wrong love?"
"I'm just happy "
He looked at her as she dried her face with her sleeve. He smiled.
"I'm not going to ask why...I don't want to cry "
"Whatever do you mean by that?" Rosaline pouted
He flicked a finger on her potruded lips "You don't look cute"
"Do you mean that?....I wasn't trying to look cute anyways" She flipped her hair
" I think you should shave your head"
She frowned,then he laughed nervously
"I'm just kidding, you look cute always even when you're angry. I can never take you seriously"
"Noted." She chuckled.
"Oh, an acquaintance is having a baby shower, so we were invited"
"When?"
"Saturday thankfully"
"Thankfully?"
"If it wasn't this Saturday, I won't go"
"Why?"
"I'm busy with work, and my family "
" Ouuu, a family man chaebol"
"You really need to stop watching Korean drama "
"Why?...it's thrilling. The one I-"
"No!... I won't be initiated " He walked hastily out of the kitchen. Rosaline laughed.
"I'm going to check out the zoo I was transferred to tomorrow"
He came back "Shouldn't you take it easy?...Wait till the baby's born and when she's one"
"She?....you mean he"
"I'm hoping it's a girl....that's the only thing Toby can do for me to feel better"
"You're probably sick" She chuckled
"Maybe I am. We already have an Amir(prince), I want an Amira" He bent before her and placed his head on her belly.
"Oh,you big baby. I'm just going to check it out ,say hi to my superiors if I got one . It's just formalities "
" Alright then.....just know I'm not that happy about this"
She kissed him on his forehead, then patted his hair.
"I promise you, I won't fall for any hot guy who is probably my type"
" Oh please,elope with him if you find one...but warn him,he might have to spend the rest of life behind bars. And I'm not talking about jail"
"Sometimes I feel like you have a secret life" Rosaline laughed.
" Is it alive?" He gestured to her food
"It is, wanna try?" She took a spoon full of the cereal.
"No, thank you. " He squeezed his face
She eyed him and turned to finish up, she yawned.
"Maybe I should keep it for later"
"And let it mutate and be more hideous than it already is?....No!"
He took the spoon from her and fed her.
"I'm full"
Shaan shot her a look, before taking another spoon.
"Come on ,I'm allowed to trash this"
He paused as if thinking about what she said ,then he shrugged.
"I'll take care of this"
"Thanks honey...I'll be in the room"
"Miss, if you got a bumper, then shake it"
Rosaline swayed left to right and giggled
"What is even that?" He laughed.
"Daddy chill!" She said in response
"You're a tik in the Toks young one. I commend you for your knowledge!"
He chuckled then smiled. This was what he had envisioned. He paused in his thoughts.
"That makes me sound like a lazy husband" he muttered.
He had no intentions of getting married but he always imagined what it'll be like if he was. And what they had was what he had always dreamt of. Making small jokes and teasing each other was fulfilling....in its own way.
He looked at the bowl of cereal, he sighed.
What in the world was she thinking to make this fungi looking food.
He stared at the bowl, he gulped.
"Just a bite won't hurt" He had a spoon
"Quite the mix....holy....it actually taste normal and delightful."
He decided to finish the cereal, he added ice cream to it
This should reduce my chances of having a big buttock by morning.
"Caught in the act!" Rosaline slid into the kitchen
"We need to consider putting our amira in an incubator... y'know...we don't want her dropping out because of your dramatic entrances"
"I'm going to bed" She sulked
"I'm kidding" He took the last spoon
Rosaline waited for him to wash the bowl. She watched as his waist moved and how his muscles flexed as he washed the dishes.
Now,this man was her husband....
She flushed red at the thought, she would've never even dreamt of getting married,not to mention getting married to a perfect man.
His black hair was packed in a loose bun, despite the fact that it was loose ,his features were firm and catlike in an Arab way.
He turned to face her...then smiled. His lips were defined and blood red.
She was sure,she was never going to get used to how handsome and tall he was.
He was inching forward, Rosaline took two step backwards.
She knew that smile, and she wasn't going to be tempted twice. She was already tempted ,but she wouldn't give in.
She nodded no, and turned to leave.
" That's what your head is saying" He lifted her gown.
