Chapter 20:Can I call you mummy

Anastasia's POV
"And wait, the memory is still coming. I didn't drink and misbehaved this much for one night? There was a kiss …
I opened my eyes and took a peep at him while he just shrugged with that cocky smirk of his as if he knew exactly what I was thinking about as he continued sipping from his cup of coffee, too calm yet too alluring for my liking. Darn it, where was my fairy godmother when I needed her?
"Anastasia Peters,you should learn how to control yourself " I whispered internally, smacking ny head for making a fool out myself in front of Ava. Who cares about Mr Hot guy's thoughts?
"Control what…?" He asked
"Ahhh... Appetite,control my appetite" I said immediately, taking the spoon and taking a sip of the mouthwatering looking soup in front of me.
"Uhmmm" The soup was actually good ,how is this guy so good at everything again? I shouldn't conclude ,he might have ordered it, I took another hot gulp.
"By the way ,how did you come in because I can't remember opening the door for you"
"I opened the door myself" It's his fearless audacity that intrigues me most.
"How did you know the password code?" Curious to know because I have never mentioned it to him.
"You once dropped a hint about your birthday and some national exams. I put two by two together….I'm the president of am artificial intelligence empire for nothing"
"You remembered ?" I was genuinely surprised that he actually listened to me.
"I remember everything about you Anastasia Peters" the way he said made something deep inside my hungry tummy twinkle.
"You do?" I asked in a small whisper ,looking at how the sun made his hair look all shiny and god-like.
"Well ,as my target business partner.I need to know about everything you say and do " he replied with a bored flat tone clearing his throat.
Just simply cocky.
"Well then,who changed into my pyjamas?" And he let out a cough, adjusting the tie of his suit.
"You did,didn't you" and he nodded his head taking another sip of his coffee nonchalantly
"That means you saw everything!" I shouted,looking at my body and wrapping my arms around my body.
"The bathrobe was wet and might make you fall sick. But if you want me to recall back at what I saw… your weight and height and the colour of …"
"Shhh, just keep quiet you shameless man !"
"You should be kissing my feet for saving your life"
"Such an egoistic man,I hope that I didn't look like an ugly duck"
"You actually look sexy," He said. I am shocked that he is sensitive enough to hear me whisper to myself but he thinks I am sexy? Okay, that lone word just shifted the charged atmosphere to a more sensual tensed level.
Thank goodness Dior's bark and Ava's crackle and running footsteps came to the aid of the now awkward moment.
"Hey Ava,good morning Princess" I cooked squatting down to her level to give her a hug.
"Good morning Miss Anna" Okay, I think she is welcome to call me that.
"Sorry,I fell sick and your birthday dinner had to be cancelled because of me…"I apologized sincerely feeling bad that her first birthday party had to be cancelled because I fell ill. The party was supposed to be for Her, her dad,her uncle Jordan and I.
"How about this I promise to grant you any birthday wish as my way of saying sorry " And that made her really smile wide.
"I asked daddy, and daddy said no '' I turned to give Me Aaron Blacks a dirty glare because I know he is capable of committing that crime.
"Talk to me ,I promise to grant you okay" she nodded her head.
"I want a mommy " ahh, didn't see that coming.
"Uhmm, I mean a wish like a toy or a playground you want to visit"
"No, I want mommy to play with" Darn it. I looked towards president Aaron Black's face signalling him to help me out of this mess but he annoyingly sipped another cup of coffee. How is that coffee still remaining?
"Okay, I will ask daddy for you," I said ,smoothing down her long hair.
"Daddy, I want her to be my mommy and Dior my sister" Damn it ,who made me make a promise to this little angel and that cocky man sitting there is not doing anything to offer me help.
"Okay, I promise to be your mommy " I said ,letting out a long sigh knowing that I just placed myself in a deep hole but then she looked so cute and she even took care of me last night. She deserved a birthday wish right?
Besides,she is a baby and will soon forget about the mommy talk.
"Are you sure that's ok with you?" I gave him my most deadliest glare. I needed him to speak out moments ago and not now.
"Of course it's okay with me,I made a promise and I will keep it for my dear Ava" I said with a forced smile that clearly shouts how screwed I am.
"Okay" Was the only thing he said.
"Come have porridge with me Ava" I carried her and sat her on my lap.
"That's not necessary, she has her own diet and I need to take her to school and head for work"
"Oh ,okay. But please wait for me ,just ten minutes and I will be done dressing so that you could drop me by the school since we are going together"
"To where, you aren't fully recovered?"
"To work, I took the day off yesterday. I shouldn't take the day off today too.I have duties to perform"
"Well, I like active and productive individuals. We will make great partners but make sure you take your drugs on the cabinet"
" Thank you Aaron Blacks," I said with all earnestness. Now my health is feeling a lot better,he fed me and My house is looking brand new. Can't wait for Jennifer to come back from the audition in the neighbouring state and see how our house transformed into a beauty.
I almost forgot about my predicament till little Ava tapped me."Can I call you mommy?"
"Of course,my baby" oh boy! What did I just get myself into?!
