Mina slipped her hand on her tummy. She was trying to feel the bump, however, she felt nothing.
" The baby is fine, princess. We had a girl. I should have listened to you when you said you didn't want to keep it. I'm sorry, baby." Aaron wept.
Mina gently caressed his face. Her fingers wiped his tears.
"It's ok, Aaron at least she made it and we are going to be great parents."
Her words made him tear up more. He hasn't been the best for her but she has always been the best for him.
" Water," Mina whispered
Aaron snapped out of his thoughts and rushed to get her one. What was he thinking? She just woke up from a coma and he was acting emotional. He had to show her instead of telling her that he would be a better person.
He helped her sit up before bringing the glass of water to her lips. Mina sipped it like her life depended on it. How she had missed water. It might sound weird but that made her feel alive. It gave her life again. Life of taking revenge and making sure nobody looks down on her.
She pulled her head away from the glass.
" Where is Naarah?" she asked
Aaron cleared his throat. He didn't know how to answer the question. Since the baby was born he hadn't gone to see her. He had only assigned guards to her. He doesn't even know what the baby looked like. His mind was filled with Mina and nothing else.
" She went to see the baby," he said
" And have you gone to see her?" Mina questioned in a soft tone.
Aaron lowered his head before he shook it. He nibbled with his lower lip. He raised his head and his eyes were crystal.
" I couldn't bring myself, baby, I couldn't see her because you weren't ok. How can I hold or look at her when my neglect led to you here?"
Mina held his hands, her gaze softened when he met his.
" Aaron, I'm fine. She needed you when I was in a coma. I'm not blaming you for not seeing her but next time -
" There is not going to be a next time princess. I fucked up and this time I'm going to take accountabilityfor that. I'm going to protect you with my sweat and blood. Both of you. I promise. Give me a chance to prove that to you."
Her heart skipped her beat when she heard those words. She could see the sincerity in those words and how his hands trembled when he spoke those words.
Mina licked her lips and sneaked her hand into his hair slowly. She pulled his face towards her and captured his lips. Her lips moved slowly but passionately. Aaron pulled her closer and kissed her harder.
" Mm,"
A moan escaped from her mouth. Aaron held her jaw with his hand as he devoured her mouth with his tongue.
"Aaron, lo-" Naarah paused midway. Her eyes widened.
" Really guys?" she exclaimed
The couple got startled when they heard her voice.
Mina pushed him away from her. She looked at Aaron who had climbed the side of the bed. How did he get there? Her face flashed and she subconsciously touched her lips.
