A weekend with the Alpha novel Chapter 82

I didn't even stress about trying to find a nanny to watch Zion while I was away. Aaron, just as he did in ensuring safety in my neighbourhood by acquiring security for me and Zion, made provision of that. He already thought ahead and Ivan came over to stay with my son. He was the cool uncle, after all. I didn't want to put too much into my appearance, but a part of me wanted to look good for this man. It was his first date, lest we forget, and it deserved to be special.

My phone buzzed before the dressing mirror where I stood, and I saw the caller ID being Diya. I smiled and picked up the call and placed the phone to my ear.

"Zera! How are you doing?" her cheerful tone came charging through.

"I'm fine Diya, seems you're out."

"Greg took me out to the newest club opening at the east street."

"Oh wow, you're living the life with your husband and I am happy for you." I heard a honk of the car and I knew Aaron was already at the door waiting.

"Who's that?" her tone came off suspicious along with her question.

"Aaron?" I bit my lower lips gingerly.

"Why is he there? I thought you had Zion on Fridays."

I pressed my lips together; she was way behind in the happenings in my life. In my defence, she was still newly wedded and deserved to enjoy her time with her husband, and so I bothered her less with the things taking place in my life, including the little escapade I have had with Aarons so far.

'You call that a little?'

"Zera, what haven't you told me?"

The honk came again, louder than the last, and I jumped on my stand. "Umm, I've got to go, Diya, take care."

"Don't you dare end t-!" I ended the call before she got to finish her words and slipped the phone into the red purse I had in my hand. I picked up my long black jacket and I raced out of the room and into the house. I knew Diya would demand the full story once she gets the chance to again, but I didn't have to answer it today.

"I am not. You have always looked amazing to me?" I took a hold of it and he pulled me closer to wrap his arms around me.

"Always?" I felt his brow rise. "Even those times when we weren't on the same terms?" he asked.

I bobbed my head, thankful for the night because my cheeks looked as red as tomatoes because of our little harmless exchanges. "Even then, I thought you looked amazing, and it made me angrier."

With Aaron, it was easy to admit my most hidden secret, and those I wanted to keep to myself. I felt free with him, free enough to confess without fear of judgement.

"You've always been beautiful to me, from the first day I laid my eyes on you, even this moment." he opened the door for me and I entered. He closed the door and got in as well before driving us away.

We arrived at the Grande restaurant and made our way in. Aaron already made reservations and the attendant when he saw us, greeted and led us to our seats. For the next thirty minutes, we spent staring at the menu. However, I'd lower the menu once in a while, and peep up to stare at Aaron, whose concentration didn't sway from the menu. I then asked myself how one man could embody so much beauty. Whenever his eyes lifted, mine returned to the menu, which I held onto.
