The Best Friend's Contract novel Chapter 99

He continues to speak, ''I felt my body.''

''Aidan . . . '' I feel my eyes begin to water. These last few weeks have been hard for me and my eyes seem to have wasted a lot of tears but wasting a lot of tears for this man in front of me would always be worth it.

''I could've died, Kenna. I could've made the wrong decision because I wasn't ready to die—I want to spend my whole life with you. I wasn't ready to leave you, no matter how perfect it would be to walk down the other path. You are much more meaningful to me.'' He says, ''We have a lot in store, I wasn't going to throw it all away just because I was offered heaven because baby, you're already heaven to me. I'll be damned if I didn't choose you,'' The way the words slip out of his mouth with full sincerity leaves me with a very, very bizarre feeling in my stomach. Something full and instantly I know it was more than just feeling butterflies in my stomach because this is like feeling the whole zoo.

''Why are you so perfect?'' I lean in to kiss him.

With both of his hands around my waist, I continue to feel the softness of his lips mixed with one as we show our feelings through this kiss. The way he runs his hands down my neck and near my ears while I moan lightly with anticipation, I feel like I need him and I feel like the luckiest woman in the world to ever be blessed with him.

''I can't wait to get the hell out of here,'' He whispers near my ear before tickling me by sending kisses down my jawline.

Luckily for us, the days went by quicker. It took him about six days to actually being able to leave the hospital because they wanted to make sure he was able to walk first before he could be discharged and I didn't mind . . . I work at the hospital and I got to see him all the time.

Slowly, I push the door open as he starts to step inside the apartment. Both of his eyes wander around the living room to find a cute banner hung on the wall near the television which causes him to chuckle, ''Welcome home, Uncle Gabby.'' He reads and just like that, the whole family surprise him as soon as I turn on the lights.

My lips curve up into a smile at the sight of Ava running towards him before wrapping her arms around his legs, ''Uncle Gabby!'' She smiles.

Aidan laughs as he picks her up, placing her on his waist with both of his hands holding onto her. ''Wow, you're getting quick heavy, aren't you? Do you miss me, Ava? Do you miss your Uncle Gabby?'' He starts to lean in to kiss her on the cheeks, causing her to giggle as she nods.

Just as I stand behind him with a smile plastered on my face, it brings me joy to being able to see this moment. Aidan would spare me a few glances as he continues to entertain Ava is such a cute moment for me . . . for some reason, I find him much more irresistible.

''Now, Ava. Let's give Uncle Gabby some space, okay?'' Alain reaches for Ava before taking her away from Aidan who seems to be nodding his head, causing me to reach out for him immediately as he starts to frown.

''Are you okay? Is this too much for you?'' I ask, grabbing onto his arm but he responds back by shaking his head—reaching down for my hand before entwining his fingers with mine as he leans in to peck me on the cheek. ''Are you sure?'' I ask, again and this time he is interrupted by Mia.

''Is this my sister? Have you been eating a lot of pizza while I was gone?'' Aidan jokes which causes both of them to laugh before he starts to pull her in for a hug, ''How are you, Mia? How's the baby?'' He asks, tucking a few strands of hair behind her ears while he continues to gaze down at her baby bump.

She smiles, ''I'm good and the baby's healthy. I'm also twenty-two weeks along.''

''That's good, Mia. So, do you have anything planned?'' He replies, clearing his throat as he places his arm around my waist.
