Chapter 25: Get Up You Love Birds
Aaron Blacks POV
"What, never seen a woman eat?" She asked when ,when she turned and caught me staring.
"Never seen a woman eat this big " I replied honestly and she shrugged,taking another bite.
"Why aren't you eating?"
"It's not healthy , junk"
"Uhhhh,come on. Don't be shy…" she cooed , punishing the bowl to me.
"I'm everything but shy Miss Anastasia!"The audacity of her to falsely accuse a whole President.
"Well, why don't you try it. A tiny bite wouldn't kill you" she said as if I were some kind of baby.
"I'm not Ava, ma'am" I said, turning my head but secretly enjoying the way she leaned into me trying to convince me to take the Noodles which I have never eaten in my life.
Health is Wealth, you know.
"Okay, just a bite then…" I gave in ,not wanting to burst her bubble. Besides ,trying new things is a law of life.
"Ahhh, open up…" I tightened my first before opening my mouth and she feed me a big scoop of hot spicy Noodles,her hands lightly touching the end of my lips before she took another bite.
"Uhmmm, it actually does not taste as bad as I thought " I honestly said , unwrapping my chopsticks and digging in too. As we shared the meal in complete silence ,the starry night and stars kept us company.
"Miss Anastasia…"
"Call me Anna…" I swallowed, collectee the bowl and kept it beside the beach chair.
"Were you willing to risk your life to save Ava's ?" I asked her, shocked by how selfless she was.
"Yes, any sane person will do that and besides she calls me mommy" she said giggling and giving me a wink.
"Tha...n"
"What?" I clinched my first for the third time tonight. I rarely tell people thank you but then this is my daughter so here goes. I released a breath and turned to look at her with a serious face and she turned looking at me sparkling eyes.
"Thank you " I said
"You're welcome Aaron" she said smiling and giving me a small side hug. She isn't wearing any bra and she's so soft.
"It's President Aaron Blacks" I replied, taking her hair out of her face and feeling the silky texture while she just sat down there looking at me with a daze before her eyes flicker to my lips ,biting her lips subtly.
"It's already night, we should go and sleep"
"Whoa, didn't know the President sleeps"
"I don't but my gadget is death"
"Fair point,but the stars look so beautiful and I don't think that a tent will fit a man like you…"
"Go straight to the point ma'am" I asked.
"Grab the blanket and we can share this chair while admiring the view please" she said, tickling me, it felt silly and I had to laugh but Laughing is for the weak.
"Okay, okay" I said standing up and bringing the blanket and pillow out for us.
She laid down and shifted making a small space for me.I stood there, blaming Jordan for all this torture.
My hands went round her neck while she laid on my chest wrapping her hands around my torso under the thick duvets.
"Good night Cocky President…"
"How dare you?!" Turned to look at her face but she was already sleeping. I kiss her forehead,smoothing her head before covering it with the duvet not wanting her cold to get too serious, at least she thinks of me as cocky which is kind of acceptable.
I smiled recalling everything that happened while staring at the stars with Anna in my arms. This feels nice and relaxing.This should be a family culture but next time it would be at my Island in Singapore.
