Chapter 38: In The middle of the night

Anastasia’s POV
“Dior is here mommy !” Shouted the cheerful Ava who seems so excited to have me around.
Of course I can see Dior already beside Ava at the dinning table. I just needed an excuse to not take a peep at President Aaron as he walked behind me towards the dining table.
Dinner went by smoothly with so much organic and healthy foods. No single chicken was on the table , tried to tell President Aaron that I will go do some grocery shopping but his attention was busy on feeding Ava while baby Ava insist on giving Dior a bite after each of her meal.
It was so cute that I didn’t know when I removed my phone and took a picture Cathu g Aaron’s attention who just looked at me with a weary face and then towards the braclets in his hands which turned a don red and he quickly hide his hands under the table going back to ignoring me.
Stood at the door of Ava’s princess themed bedroom which is bigger than our whole classroom and filled with so much toys . I wonder is she has any friends to play and share them with, I will definitely talk to President Aaron about this too.
President Aaron who looks more like a normal human being than a billionaire robot when reading bedtime stories to his daughter warmed my heart that I took another picture, I can’t help it.
“Do we have a problem Miss Anastasia?” He asked raising a cocky eyesbrows which made him look arrogantly handsome.
“It’s part of my job to capture sweet memories and decorate them” I said with a big smile and he rolled his eyes at me giving Ava a peck on the forehead and then both cheeks.
“I want a kiss from mommy” Ava whispered with a sleepy voice and I smiled moving towards the bed and placing a kiss on Ava’s forehead ignoring President Aaron’s intense gaze on my face and bare shoulders.
“Uhmm, good night President Aaron”
“Goodnight Miss Anastasia “
“You can just call me Anastasia or Anna or Ann…” I started rumbling on, not liking the way he was looking at me and now walking towards me making me hit the edge of his big black bed.
“Then call me Aaron too…” he said with a smirk standing so close to me making me blush and looking away from his wide chest in a white sweater since he is inches taller than me.
“Aaron “ I whispered and he smiled , tapped me on the head, ruffled my hair which is in a bun before turning to leave the room making me to breath more freely.
I sighed with a small smile hating the fact that his cologne always lingers around , it’s almost as if his presence is always there.
Went back to my side of the room and lied on the soft coloured sky blue coloured bedsheet, hugging my pillow and going through the pictures I took when I heard the sweet yet distant sound of a piano playing.
I stood up and tried to listen to the beautiful melody but it seems so far. Wandering who else stays in this houses because I can’t even imagine President Aaron listening to music , talk less of playing a piano.
I tip toed lightly into the bigger part of the room to see an empty bed.
“Oh well, he might be in his office buried with work” I continued walking around the big house trying to follow the sound while appreciating the structures and design of the house.
Even though it’s night, there’s a dim glowing light from wall chandeliers that made everything look magical.
Began to hear the melody more loudly when I climbed the first floor of the spiral staircase which led to a more open space that looks like a hall.
It was empty with only a grand piano at the far end, high dropping diamond chandeliers and a glassy floor.
Wrapped my hands and watched Aaron looking like an Angel while playing the piano. I can see the smooth swift movements of his hands over the keyboard from behind as the music flowed ,making me feel it in my bones.
There’s more to President Aaron Blacks, I sighed closing my eyes and listening to the beautiful therapeutic sound in my soul when it suddenly stopped.
“Anastasia, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?”
