Little Brown Benefit novel Chapter 26

"No walls up." I repeated and stopped punching the bag. I heaved an exhausted sigh and Kevin and I left the gym.

Sacha's POV

Judy had been pleading to stay up late to watch a movie with Remy and I but eventually fell asleep right on the couch and I wasn't about to carry her up all those steps with a pregnancy.

"More popcorn?" I asked Remy.

"Nah, I'm good." She answered.

A knock came on the door. I looked at the time. It was 10:30 pm.

"You expecting anyone this late?"

"No." I answered. I slowly got up and went for the door. I opened it slowly and saw his luminous green eyes and wide smile.

Sacha's POV

"Christian? What are you doing here?" I was shell-shocked. He was there, right in front of me, smiling but panting as if he had been running laps around the world.

"You." He came closer to me, our lips barely an inch apart. He cupped my face between the palms of his hands and looked right into my eyes.

"You're all I need. I needed you before. I need you right now. I need you forever." He whispered in my ear before kissing me on the cheek.

"But... But... Your wedding, your fiancée." I stuttered.

"That is over with. All I need is you Sacha. I want to have a family with you. I want us to raise our child together and I want to be there for Judy. She's a great kid."

Happy tears slipped out my eyes. I must be dreaming. I've been too obsessed with Christian Alexander that it reaches to a point where I was imagining him confessing his feelings to me on the doorsteps.

"I love you. I'm in love with you." His voice said again.

Yep, I'm definitely dreaming.

Wake your ass up Sacha!

"Christian, am I dreaming?" I asked.

He chuckled. "Baby, you're not dreaming. I'm here. For real."

I attacked him with kisses. My dream had finally become true. He loves me. He wants to be with me and start a family with me.

I left my legs lifted up from under me. Christian was carrying me into the house now. I clanged to his shoulders as if my life depended on it, but it wasn't like if he was about to drop me or anything like that. I just liked the strong hold I had on him.

Remy was still present. Her eyes expanded when she saw him carrying me and a smile formed on her face.

I hope it was genuine this time.

I was still giving her the side-eye and being mindful of what I said and exposed to her. Oh, how I wished Christian had came by when she went to bed.

"Hi Christian." She greeted him.

"Hi, Remy. How are you?" He asked her.

"I'm okay. I'll give you guys some space." She picked up Judy and she got off the couch she was sitting on and went to one of the guest bedrooms she was occupying while being here with me.

"Her mom passed and she's really going through it right now. I just wanna be there for her. As a friend." I explained to Christian once he set me down on the couch.

"I understand. It must be rough for her. I'm so glad you have a good heart."

"Yes, but it's not to be taken for granted." I cautioned and eyed him seriously.

"I think I'm catching the cold." She said.

"Oh no. I'm so sorry. I'll take you to the doctor first thing tomorrow, okay. Go on back to bed."

But instead, Judy made a beeline to Christian. She wrapped her tiny arms around his neck.

"I knew you'd come back to us." I heard her told him. A eyes escaped from my eyes. She was drawn to him also immediately when they met.

"It's good to be back, Kiddo. Sorry you're catching the cold."

"I'm going back to bed. I don't want you to catch the cold too. Good night."

"Good night." Christian and I watched her climb the stairs and went into her own bedroom.

The next morning, I searched for a private children's doctor who'll attend to kids on a Sunday.

I was up early, had already prepared breakfast and ready to take my sister to the doctor.

Christian appeared next to me in the kitchen.

"Good morning, beautiful."

"Good morning, handsome."

"Why don't I take Judy to the doctor and you just relax today?"

"Really?"

"Yay! Christian is taking me to the doctor!" Judy squealed as she overheard Christian's question when she came into the kitchen.
