The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

The mild cold felt like it had finally given me a break a few hours later. I was no longer sniffling, and my nose didn’t feel stuffy anymore.

Aiden had done his best to take care of me even though I kept reassuring him that I am not immobile.

He refused for me to just stretch over and take the remote for goodness sake!

It almost felt like I was on my deathbed because Aiden refused to make me do anything for myself.

So when my cold symptoms let me go from its mild clutches | praised G*d and nearly went on my knees.

But of course, I didn’t want to seem dramatic.

It was now way past twelve and Aiden was cooking up something on the stove when a buzzing sound disturbed the somewhat silence.

I looked over at Aiden while fixing Ashton on the sofa.

“Someone must be at the door,” I told him, asking him silently if I should get the door myself, but he wipes his hands and tells me he will be back.

When he did return, I was not expecting him to return with a huge heart shape piece of sculpture made with roses, wheeled in by two men. It looked like the roses were in what I

presume was resin.

“Aiden,” I gapped at the huge heart shape sculpture as the two men wheeled it in front of me.

I looked over at Aiden, who was staring keenly at my face, waiting for a reaction. He smiled and seemed to be pleased with my reaction.

“You didn’t think I’d get rid of your first gift from me, did you?” He teased and looked at the roses, his white teeth flashing, making my heart sing.

“Aiden,” I breathed out, rising to my feet in awe as I stared at the heart shape sculpture.

The two men smiled at me and quickly departs from the room.

“I made them put every single one of them in resin baby. It should last you a lifetime.” He said and looked over at me with a very pleased look.

I approached him, my eyes gawking at the heart shaped sculpture and
