Finale

After a whole day spending my time at the Cafe and helping Jae serve the customers I went back home feeling kinda angry and still embarrassed, I couldn't wait to unleash all my anger the next time I meet Edde.

How dare him do such a thing to me without my consent!?

I walked into my compound as I made to open my door when I felt a presence behind me. I could see the person's manly shadow on the wall as my breath hitched. I hesitated to turn as I tried ignoring the person and opened my door.

I felt the person's hand slowly snake around my waist as his scent assaulted my nose, I immediately knew who it was without looking. How did he know my house?

"Edde Loxley, what are you doing here?" I muttered softly as I gently pulled his hand off my waist.

"Can you just invite me in with you?" He said as I shaked my head.

"You're not welcomed here, unless you tell me how you found my home" I uttered, crossed my arms around my chest as he sighed defeatedly.

"I just had to know where you live so I followed you" he said as I rolled my eyes. "I really need to talk to you"

"Yes definitely we need to talk! You are such a creep and you have a lot to explain so come in" I said, pushing my door open, parting ways for him to come in.

He had a curious confused look on his face as he walked in, I switched on the lights and threw my purse at the end of the couch as I turned to Edde's confused gaze.

"Come on, sit!" I urged as he sat on my favorite one seater couch.

"I hope I'm safe?" He asked curiously as I Scoffed.

"You would have thought of safety before you f-ing did this to me!" I yelled, flipping my hair to the right to give him a view of the large hickey he implanted there.

"That's cute" he uttered, giving me a wink which only aroused my anger. "Hey! Chill, stop fuming like you're gonna rip my heart out of my chest, I was lost in the cozy moment so that happened subconsciously. By the way hickey happens when lovers make love" I shrugged indifferently as I bit my lips in rage, I really wish I could hit him right now. I'm just not a violent person.

"Edde, Hickey doesn't happen subconsciously you knew what you did so tell me the goddamn truth!" I yelled as he sighed looking straight into my balls like he expected me to see through him.

"Fine! I was jealous, I gave you a hickey as a sign to whoever you were meeting to leave you alone. You fucking know that we are partly engaged" He reminded as I rolled my eyes.

"We ain't engaged Edde, the contract is completed so we moved on. Why the hell will you even be jealous of me having another…"

"Because I fucking want you back Elizabeth! Can't you see it? I tried telling you multiple times that Sadie and I never happened again, it was just my way of making you hate me so that you could leave without thinking of me again and prolly hate me. I'm fucking in love with you and I didn't think I was ready to get committed, I couldn't let you go easily so I had to lie with Sadie knowing how much you hated her" Edde poured out his heart to me as I stood frozen at the spot staring at him like a statue, my heart was beating rapidly and my eyes were blur with tears… I couldn't believe my ears.

"I love you Elizabeth and I know you know it and you love me back, come back to me… And our son Grey, I'm ready to be committed to only you" Edde added as I still stood muted trying to register all he said to me. I never saw this coming.

I cleared my throat and sat on the couch opposite him as I blinked back the tears threatening to escape my eyes. "Edde you should go, it's late already Grey is prolly alone at home" I said in a cracked voice and looked down at my laps, I couldn't believe all Edde confessed few seconds ago… He might just be playing another game. "I also need to sleep"

"I want to spend the night here with you, Grey is fine with Miss Brooke" he said almost in a whisper as he stood up and walked towards me. "Don't say no, please" he whispered to my ear and pecked my cheek.

"Edde stop it, I'm still angry at you" I mumbled, that was supposed to sound boorish or somewhat harsh but here I am cooing to his touch.

"Then say it like you mean it" he whispered pulling me even more closer to him, I could feel his hard on my bum which sent a shocking sensation down my spine. I wasn't sure if I wanted to have sex with him, I didn't want to him to feel like he still had so much effect on me… Which he clearly still does.

I gently pulled myself out of his grip as I turned to him with my arms wrapped around my chest. "Edde I feel exhausted, I really need to bathe and sleep. Please go home" I said calmly as he hissed.

"I don't think I can drive home tonight, how about you let me sleep here in your sitting room. I promise not to come over to your room" he swore genuinely as I sighed defeatedly and shrugged.

"I have a guest room where you can nap, come with me"

***

I walked out of the bathroom after a hot steam bath as I quickly turned on the fan, I wiped my body quickly and pulled into a comfy PJs as I jumped on my bed ready to sleep.

I shut my eyes tiredly as flashes of Edde came into my head, why am I still thinking of him! While I was bathing he was in my mind and now too. I didn't like the feeling I was having especially when I'm not sure Edde is thinking of me… Edde might be napping right now.

Why did I agree to meet with him? I would have just given him a go ahead to do whatever he wanted to do with Grey hence it wasn't a hurtful thing, I fucked up big time when I slept with him as if I was an easy catch or I was missing him as much as he said he was missing me.

I turned to my purse as I grabbed it and took out the pregnancy prevention pills Edde got for me, I stared at it with different thoughts running through my mind.

What if I just keep it back and allow myself to get pregnant, that should be able to trap him so that he won't leave me. I still wanted Edde to myself alone, he was my first and I want him to be my last. I don't find any other man attractive so it just has to be him.

At a second thought, not taking this pill as he instructed would only make me look like a desperate whore eager to bag a rich guy. I'm not a whore so I should do better.

I popped the pill open and threw it into my mouth as I gulped a full glass of water. I sighed softly and made to pull the duvet over my body when a knock interrupted me. I rolled my eyes heavenward knowing that it was none other than Edde.

I swung my leg down from my bed and headed to the door as I pulled it open, there he was standing in front of me with his Cavin Klein boxer shorts and white singlet as if he wanted to intimidate me with his huge muscles and height.

"I see you got comfortable already so what else do you want? I was about to sleep before you interrupted" I snapped as he hissed with a plain facial expression.

"Elizabeth please let me in, I want to talk to you" he uttered as I furrowed my brow curiously.

"Why don't you just wait till tomorrow?"

"Just let me in, it's important. You might not see me when you wake up in the morning" I wouldn't like that…

I opened the door widely for Edde to come in as he walked in like an innocent young man and I shut the door after him.

"You've got a beautiful room right here Elizabeth" he muttered amusingly, staring around my room from up to down.

"You came to talk, so let's get into it" I blurted as he sat on the mini pink fur couch now staring deep into my Honey brown, I felt nervous at the way he stared at me. He made my butt feel unstable on the bed.

"Betta I want you back home, I really do. The house feels empty without you even if we have workers flocking around everywhere, it's incomplete without you" he paused and sighed. "Grey hasn't stopped asking about your where about and when you would be back, I keep lying to him and I'm very much tired of lying, he is getting used to staying with Miss Brooke and I don't want that. I want him to know you as his mom, I never knew my mom and I definitely won't want that for Grey too… Just come back home and let's settle this bad blood" I was speechless, I didn't see none of that coming. I mean, I saw it coming but not in such way.

I gulped down. Awestruck and speechless as I stared at Edde who looked totally devastated with his eyes glittering like he was holding back tears.

"Ed-Edde…"

"We can get married again if that's what you want, and this time it won't be secretive. Please don't say no, I know that deep down you still love me so please come back let's start all over" Edde retorted as I bit my lip in thoughts.

"What about my Cafe? And the house?" I stuttered as Edde quickly sat next to me on the bed.

"You can get salespeople to handle it for you, if we should get married you can't be in the public eye… You know that, and for the house. Just leave it behind hence you rented it and didn't buy it, we have a much bigger mansion"

As he spoke I wasn't listening to him at all, all I did was Stare at his moving lips.

"Betta are you listening?" He snapped his fingers to my face bringing me back to earth.

"I wasn't" I whispered as I brushed my lips on his and hungrily kissed him like it was the last time as he kissed me back with the same Passion… We are definitely going to have sex tonight.

***

Weeks ran by faster than I thought, I and Edde had a little wedding ceremony consisting of families and friends. Melanie came and my mom too, I warned them about showing their hatred towards Edde and they tried their best in hiding it.

The wedding ceremony went smoothly and definitely lots of the paparazzi's came to take pictures of us even if they asked stupid questions as usual.

I and Edde went back home after the long exhausting day. We didn't go on a honeymoon because I didn't want it. All I had in mind was to tell Edde the secret I have been holding back from him since the second week of our reconciliation.

"Come on Elizabeth, What's wrong? Ain't you happy that we got married?… Please don't say yes" Edde uttered as I smiled lightly at him.

"Edde?"

"Yeah?"

"You remember when you gave me a Postinor to take, right?" I asked as he shrugged indifferently.

"Yes, what's wrong? Didn't you take it? Wait, are you pregnant!" He shouted, making me flinch as I nodded gently as my eyes blurred with tears.

"But I did take it I promise, it didn't just work I don't know why" I mumbled as tears rolled down my cheeks, I must have hurt him by getting pregnant again. He might have better plans for us than making babies.

"Why are you crying?" He said almost in a whisper as he pulled me into his arms and used his big thumb to wipe my tears off.

"I thought you eagerly wanted me to take the pills because you didn't want more kids" I said in a cracked voice as I rested my head on his chest.

"Yes I didn't want more kids but fortunately you're pregnant and there is nothing we can do… I was kidding when I yelled at you" he uttered in a chuckle as I nudged him playfully and fake glared at him.

"Come on here, I have a surprise for you" he said and pecked my lips as he held my hand leading me towards the window. "Look down, that's yours!" He said as my eyes widened in shock.

"Omg! Edde!" I squealed enthusiastically as I abruptly jumped on his arms, he was skillful enough to catch me and hold me tightly as our lips intertwined.

THE END
