Chapter 9: Chapter 9

Aria

Weeks passed by. I communicated with Ana and Rosaline very well. We three really got close to each other. They are very loyal to Lucas even Lucas's temper explodes. I always help them cook and help them in other ways. They always stop me but I always insist. I am not a queen or princess just to sit here and ordered them what I want. I always want to do anything.

I was always talking to Luke. He can pronounce the word "daddy", "miss" and many others more. "Miss" means he missed his daddy. When Lucas got home from his office at a very late night. Luke woke up and saying the word "miss" to his daddy.

I always do and give my son needs. He always smiled and loves to cuddle me. I observed Lucas don't have time for Luke again. I always woke up between 6 am or 7 am and Lucas was not already in bed. He is at his work already and usually got home late. He said that he will try to change and give time for Luke but he broke his promise.

Luke's smile was so cute and especially his laugh when I am playing with him, his face is so priceless. Rosaline and Ana told me that this is the only time that they saw Luke happy and energetic because Lucas doesn't have time for him.

It was already 1:30 am and I was waiting for him. Luke was already sleeping and I can't go down and leave Luke here. He will cry if he didn't saw me. This baby is really like my son.

I pressed the intercom.

"Ana? Is Lucas is here yet?" I asked through the intercom.

The intercom beeps.

"Not yet, Aria."

Flashback:

I was waiting for Luke to sleep while sucking his milk. I already took him to a bath for a long time. He loved water as in. He always gives me his puppy eyes to stay for long in the bathtub and thanks for the warm water I don't want Luke to get cold.

I needed to buy some of my needs. I don't want the maid to buy for me. I already informed Rosaline to take care of Luke while I am gone.

I looked at Luke and he stopped sucking his milk. He was already asleep. I slowly moved and placed him on the bed, patting softly his baby butt for him not to wake up.

I pressed the intercom.

"Rosaline, you can come up now," I whispered. Not waiting for too long, Rosaline came into the room.

"Take care of him. I'll be back." I said in a whispered and got up with my bag.

"You need Tom to drive you?" She asked.

I shook my head no.

"No need, I can go. I will take a cab." She nodded and I took my leave.

I was going to Green Mart.

I roamed around and to find some of my needs like tampons and abdomen pain reliever but not my luck. They don't have it. Sometimes, I really got a bad first day of my period. It causes a very hard pain in my abdomen.

I went to the shirt and stuff location, I saw a baby shirt that can actually fit Luke. Written on it is "I love Daddy" and it is navy blue. It's not too expensive so I decided to buy it.

I saw a boy running. He looked like 3 years old. I held his body before he could fall.

"Oops, thank you and sorry." He said apologizing.

I smiled and fixed his clothes.

"No problem, be careful next time. Where is your mommy?" I asked and brushed my hands through his hair, he pointed to a girl.

A beautiful girl…Actually.

She walked towards us as soon as her eyes saw the boy.

"I am sorry for my kid. "She said in a soft voice.

"No problem, your son is really handsome." I compliment and she smiled.

"Thank you, I am Aviana. It was nice meeting you." She offered her hand.

"Aria," I said and shook her hands.

She is shy and has brown eyes like me.

"My son Zeke," She introduced her son and Zeke gives me a cute smile.

I laughed while hugging him and he giggled.

"We need to go Aria, my husband is waiting in the car. I hope we meet next time. Can I have your number?" She asked shyly.

I gave her my number and she is really kind and shy.

She asks me if I am going home, she said she could give me a ride but I didn't accept because I want to walk and roam around.

I bought Oreo cheesecake ingredients. Luke loves Oreo cheesecake. Rosaline told me and I remember Lily asking for it to her mom.

He was just a baby and he already has a favorite Oreo cake.

After the whole encounter thing with Aviana. I really like to hang out with her as I can say.

I like people who are down so down to earth like Leticia even though they are rich.

I looked at my phone. I have consumed 3 hours.

I decided to go home by taking a cab.

When I entered the door.

"Your home" Ana said and got the things from my hand.

"Please bring this paper bag to our room and the other one in the kitchen, thanks," I ordered her politely.

Then suddenly I heard Luke's sobs and cries. I hurriedly walked and entered the living room.

"Baby?" I asked. He looked up at me with his very bloodshot eyes.

He wiggled at Rosaline and ran towards me while Rosaline was guiding in case he got out of balance.

I kneeled and opened my arms. He hugged my neck tightly with his small hands.

"M...miss....mo...mmy," he sobbed into my neck. I soothed his back while my heart fluttered.

He missed me.

"I am here baby, no need to cry." I pulled him out and wiped his tears.

I picked him up.

"When he woke up, he was finding you already and started to cry. I can't even calm him down." Rosaline said softly.

I smiled at her.

Looks like my baby missed me a lot.

End of flashback:

A smile flashed into my face remembering Luke.

The intercom beeps.

"Aria, Lucas is here." I heard Ana's voice.

I pressed the intercom.

"Thank you, Ana," I whispered.

I sighed heavily. Thanked God he is safe.

Intercom beeps again.

"He is drunk Aria, please be careful." Ana's worried voice said.

He was drunk. Ana informed me to be careful... Does he hurt someone? If he is drunk?

I heard the door opened.
