Wing Of Change -
Chapter 36
Never in Aria’s wildest dreams did she imagined she’d be spending the night at the Okoji’s resident and on such short notice.
No one mentioned she would be sleeping over on her very first day of visitation. At least she would have come prepared and not dressed in an alter necked chiffon with a high waisted skirt.
You’d think it was easy to just say no and that will be it. The moment the old lady turned on her charm and even sniff a few tears, she knew she couldn’t say no even if she wanted to and just so you know_she even went down with a seizure at the very thought of Aria turning down her request and that my friends was how she ended up spending her very first night at the Okoji resident alongside her boyfriend,in his old bedroom.
Aria couldn’t bear for them to leave her at that state she was in even though something told her, Frank was indifferent about it much to her disappointment.
She was his mom for Christ sake!
She decided_she was going to have a serious talk with him once they were alone,far away from his mother hearing, then she’d give him a piece of her mind.
Frank was the first to say something the moment they got to his room as he quickly turned and faced her with a raised eyebrow.
“You do realized you could have simply said no and we’d be on our way home at this point right?”
“Well am surprised to even hear you say that and besides I couldn’t say no to your mom even if I wanted to and especially not after the crisis she went through earlier” she paused and gave him a hard glare.
“I can’t believe you even considered leaving her behind in such frail condition” Aria disappointment was evident as she was said those words.
“Oh c’mon Aria. Don’t tell me she fooled you too with her Asthma crisis” Asked Frank pointing his index at her.
She paused for a second as his comment began to sink in until it finally hit her.
“Wait! Are you saying she doesn’t have Asthma and was only faking it back there?” Her brows hitched in confusion.
“You fool! of course she doesn’t and I honestly don’t know why she keep telling people that same story and it funny how they keep falling for it”
“You have got to be kidding me right now.. I was even insisting we take her to the hospital. To think that she was just acting all along is just_just crazy”
“I thought you were going to figure it out though. Didn’t you notice she didn’t ask for any inhaler?”
“I can’t believe she did that. I mean why would she do that”
He answered with a careless shrug and thought about her question for a while.
“I guess she figured out your weak spot and used it against you so it’s safe to say my mom likes you enough to want to have breakfast with you tomorrow morning”
“Well that is not reason enough because i was really scared, i thought something bad was going to happen to her and you should have thought it wise to give me a heads up don’t you think?”
“And miss this opportunity to sleep next to you? Nah_I don’t think so” He grabbed hold of her and pulled her to the bed laughing at her reaction.
“You are enjoying this aren’t you?” She said trying to break free from his grasp.
“Of course I am. Can’t you tell?” Nuzzling his nose against the croak of her neck causing her to giggle.
After a while, with Aria still lying in his arms, he kissed her cheek and turned her to face him.
“I’m sorry for my mom’s behavior darling. I can assure you that she mean no harm “
His eyes lingered on her lips a little before staring into her deep brown eyes.
Aria always seemed to loose her senses whenever he looked at her in that manner. The frustration she felt earlier was starting to dissolve under his gaze. she couldn’t stay mad at the situation any longer than necessary.
“I’m glad to have you here with me”
His arm snaked around her waist and kept rubbing at her back.
“Do you know how many sleepless night I have had to endure just thinking about you at night?” His voice came out not louder than a whisper.
Her tongue got caught in her mouth and no word made it out as she could only manage to shake her head for a respond. When she didn’t say anything, he continued.
“Your scent keep me awake at night and I wouldn’t have it any other way my darling. You are the one for me and I will wait for you until you tell me other wise”
She swallowed hard and blinked a couple of times causing Frank to give a throaty growl.
If only she knew how much he was enduring at that point.
He placed a gentle k**s against her forehead and rolled her over before springing up on his feet.
“It’s just for today anyways so we might as well get comfortable”
Aria could only breath out in relief before following his movement with her eyes. Frank was acting like a total gentleman and she could see how hard he was trying not to give in. She wondered if he had brought a girl home to that room before.
Aria has no way of telling.
There was nothing old about Frank’s old bedroom. Everything was still in place just as he has left them. His mom had made sure the servant maintained and kept everything in its original form.
He pushed open the closet door revealing his collection of clothes and pulled out a pair of pyjamas and handed it to Aria.
“The washroom is that way. You can change in there while I wait here or I can just wait outside. Whichever you prefer”
“You should stay here, i will use the bathroom. I need to shower as well”
“Okay”
Aria quietly grab hold of the piece of clothes and head to the bathroom.
“And miss this opportunity to sleep next to you? Nah_I don’t think so” He grabbed hold of her and pulled her to the bed laughing at her reaction.
She got back only to replace Frank seating at the edge of the bed and staring at his phone. His head snapped at her direction the moment she emerged from the bathroom and putting on his pajamas.
He bite at his lower l*p slightly with his eyes narrowing into slit.
“You look good wearing my old pajamas darling”
Aria took a quick glance at herself and back at him.
“I feel good putting on your pajamas even though am practically lost inside”
She flapped the over size edge from both end of her wrist like a bird ready for take off.
The gesture got him to chuckle a little as he got back on his feet and stepped towards the bathroom as well.
He stripped down to his boxer then stopped and turned back to look at Aria with his hand hanging around his waist band.
“May I?”
She answered with a shrug before climbing onto the bed, and slipped under the covers while trying to avoid looking at his buttocks at all cost.
“You can look you know? There is nothing to hide” he jested
“No thanks” she answered with a giggle.
“Your loss”
“I will pass”
Aria only had to wait a couple more minutes before she came face to face with a naked Frank strolling out of the bathroom with everything in full display.
“Oh my God” she half yelled and screamed as she pulled the covers to her face.
“See anything you like?” He asked nonchalantly as he walked further towards the bed.
“What are you doing walking around like that. Where are your clothes”
“I’m not walking around naked! Am walking in my bedroom and towards the bed to sleep. There is a huge difference” he countered back with a smirk.
“But_but you can’t sleep like that” Aria had began to protest, still not looking at him.
“Oh c’mon please. You have got to be kidding me, to think that we have actually had s*x before now would be a lie”
“That has nothing to do with this Mister. You are strolling around naked for God sake!”
“What’s the big deal about that. It’s just you and I here and don’t tell me you are shy” Frank had to asked as he stood with both his hands anchored against his waist.
“Well am not shy but at least put some clothes on”
“But I can’t sleep with my clothes on” he told her with a pout.
“Put on your short then”
“Fine!”
He grudgingly put his short back on and slip under the bedsheets beside her and pulled her close. The moment their bodies made contact, Aria found herself snuggling an inch closer to him.
“You will have to get used to it once we are married, yes?”
“Yes very much I will”
“Good” kissing the top of her head and breathing out in relief before dozing.
