Sophie’s pov
My eyes widen and I quickly pulled away from him, coughing a little as I flustered with embarrassment.
“Sorry, I must’ve rolled there in the middle of the night.” I made an excuse.
Aiden’s brow cocked lazily and the small smile on his lips spread wider.
“You’re cute when you’re embarrassed mama bear.”
I rolled my eyes and pretended that his words did not mess with my heart and lifted my hand to brush against my messy hair. I must look like a hot mess right now.
The ringing stops again only to blare seconds later.
Whoever was calling him needed to get ahold of him desperately it seems.
“Are you going to answer that?” I asked him nudging my head to his phone he left on the dresser beside his head.
He grunted. “It’s way too damn early.”
“It can be important. Whoever is trying to get a hold of you rang the phone three times in a span of five minutes. I think it would be good to at least check who’s calling.”
Aiden doesn’t look like he was in the mood to speak to
anyone but then sighed heavily, held Ashton’s sleeping form
with his other hand, and reached out for the phone on the
dresser.
His features shifted in irritation when he saw the caller ID.
Intrigued to know who made him react that way, yet not wanting to seem nosy, I joked. “Do you normally glare at a phone screen early in the morning?”
Aiden spares me a glance and then shifted his stormy eyes back to the ringing phone.
“No. Just those that irritate me. Sergio’s the one calling,” He rolled his eyes and let the phone continue to ring until it
stops.
He looked relieved only for his features to tighten back in irritation. His jaw clenched and he looked ready to hurl the phone away.
Ashton stirs on his chest and he holds him tightly before sighing in defeat and answering the phone.
“What!?” He barked lowly. “It’s just six a.m in the morning, Sergio. You better have a good valid reason for calling me this early.”
I watch him intensely as he listened to what his grandfather said over the phone. Seconds later his face turned the color of ash.
“What?”
Aiden’s pov
“I’ve gotten used to your tongue boy but that doesn’t mean I will stand for the disrespect.” Sergio snaps and coughs.
I had an inkling he was smoking a cigar. That man could not live without it.
I stayed silent, not wanting to argue with him while Ashton was fast asleep on my chest.
“Anyway, I called because a little birdy told me you had a son. By little birdy I mean the internet. A picture of your son is floating around, especially on Instagram.”
My heart drops in the pit of my stomach and I felt the blood drain from my face. “What?”
I didn’t want Ashton on social media as yet, especially with how nasty people can be on there.
He was not ready for this and Sophie was not ready to have questions flown at her as yet.
Everything was going way too fast…
What did you expect to happen when you said so loud and proudly that she was your fiance mostly everywhere you
went?
