Chapter 10: Chapter 10

TAKEN nine

Let's make a baby? That sounded ridiculous to Allen's ears. This was someone who left the house earlier,furious at her husband. Giving unneccesary reasons why a baby shouldn't be involved .What changed?

Allen stared closely at Stella, he wanted to observe if she was being sincere about this. After all this was the woman who wanted him on her bed and threatened him not to back off since they were still going to work out.

They had to work.

Marcus sober state didn't lighten up immediately. Stella had walked in on him too soon he wasn't sure how to react. And what she said? They should make a baby? If she was serious about this then there was something wrong,he remembered vividly his instructor assured him she would agree to it , he argued that she won't, although he didn't know why it got her upset but he was too angry at himself for taking an advice that is ruining his marriage

Basically,

("Tell her you transferred your property to your unborn baby. Let's see who tries to make a baby first"Jenifer had said this after hearing Marcus story. She felt it his wife was just making silly excuse not to have sex with him.)

These words rang in his ears again as he read more meaning deeply to what Jennifer had told him trying to get her insinuation. What she definitely meant was if Stella heard there was a gift for the unborn child, she's gonna have sex with him; being fit or not. Meaning, being fit was just an excuse of avoiding sex with him. Is that what it meant. Or was he over thinking because he was drunk.

"Can we talk privately?" she asked Marcus, rolling one eyes at Allen, who just left them to talk instead.

"Yes I'm upset. You think I love you for your money Marcus, I wasn't expecting it,...but I thought about it and I will be too selfish if I don't give you what you always wanted, Marcus, I love you so much and will definitely take a one night unsatisfactory sex for you"she rushed her words

He was pained

"I'm sorry" she immediately apologized for the rude and painful way she talked

"So you would make a baby with me?" he asked with a hint of doubt. Naturally he would never doubt his wife, but this is driving him crazy, it was like Jenifer predicted right. Stella words was a painful confirmation too, it wasn't him not being fit, there was a condition for her to manage him and she would. If money was that condition, why isn't love a condition for her to bear with his weight.

"Yes" she nods

"Not because I willed my property?"

"Definitely not"

Allen groaned at the knock on his door, it was too exhausting to open the door, so he kept mute ,whoever was at the door this late would leave.

His sudden realization of who could be at the door made him have a quick migraine. Who else lived with him in the house? His brother was too sober and upset to come in for a manly talk. Or maybe he was over thinking,Marcus could really need his brother to tell him truth about the woman he married. If there was a case like that Allen would probably not turn tables on Stella after all he was just a guest in the house.

He started imagining his mum's reaction to seeing how grown up her first child is doing, well and responsible under his father's care. He wouldn't expect a breakdown from his mum but she wouldn't deny the absence of Marcus when the divorce happened. She had his pictures secretly kept in her drawer and would stare at them at night. She hated that she led her marriage into separation. But the deed was done. He sincerely hoped she got an invitation when these couple both decide to make a baby.

Seeing Stella come into his room literally changed the father of the baby

He blinked his eyes twice, he needed to stop thinking wild

"He's asleep I guess"he grunts lazily on his bed. Stella carefully closed the door behind her and walked slowly to meet Allen on the bed. Surprisingly, she only hugged him from behind and lay on his back. Although he guts out alcohol from his breath but it was not as bad as the room she was coming from. Marcus was too drunk to smell nice, he was weak too and had slept on time. She needed to be entertained. She laid flat in silence for sometime without saying a word to him, Allen started wondering if she was safe and what she was up to. He slowly raise up from the bed and sat up with her, she stared softly at him but he look off immediately.

" What do you want? "he asked

" Just company, I wanted you to keep me company Allen "

"I'm too drunk to meet you or talk to you Stella".

" We both know you're not too drunk to not know what you're doing"

They both stared at each other for sometime before Stella rested her head on his shoulders. "I know what you think of me Allen, but I'm attracted to you and I can't help it,the more you try to make me feel like I'm doing things wrong, the more I want to do it"

"You made me sleep with you Stella, its unheard of"

"I know how you feel about us, but if you don't own up to it now, there's gonna be a lot of problem in future. I just want to be friends with you, so we don't have awkward moments. Allen you can do this" she rubbed his hair

Squinting his eyes a bit,he chuckled, "we can't escape it Stella, its just better we own up to our mistakes"

Stella knew he wouldn't listen to more of her explanation so she let him believe he had won, she nod her head positively like she felt guilt and would amend things sooner.

"Friends?she asked him and he gave a drunken smile with a huge nod. Unexpectedly for him, she immediately lock her lips with his. He paused for sometime but welcomed in the kiss, his lips cuddled hers slowly and she wrapped her hands around his neck.

Slowly, they laid on the bed pulling each other's clothes
