The sunlight crept through the blinds, far too cheerful for Minas's mood. She buried her face in the pillow, wishing the ground would open and swallow her. Every muscle in her body reminded her of last night - and so did the smug warmth at her back. Aaron's arm was draped possessively around her waist, heavy and unmovable.
Then, knock, knock. Mina panicked. She rushed and pulled away the duvet covering Aaron and her.
She paused and bit her lips when she saw his naked body. Aaron groaned and threw his head back.
"If you keep on looking at me like that, princess. We won't be leaving this room."
Mina snapped out of her thoughts.
"Don't move," she warned him
Aaron smirked and said;
"Why will I move, princess. I love where I am."
Mina ignored him and rushed to the bathroom. She came back in a robe before she opened the door.
"Hey." She said to Naarah.
Mina got out of the room and closed the door, making sure her friend didn't see the man in her bed. Naarah eyed her, she crossed her arms against her chest.
"Well, well, well. Sleeping Beauty and the Beast finally woke up. I didn't know the house came with surround sound."
"Naarah!" Mina scolded with her face burning crimson
"Oh, don't 'Naarah' me. I had to put a pillow over my head and pray Ellie wouldn't start asking me why the wall was shaking"
Mina groaned and buried her face in her palms.
"You're exaggerating. The walls were shaking that badly." Mina mumbled
"I wish I were."Naarah deadpanned "Mina, your moaning competition with my cousin inside nearly turned into a concert." She said with her eyes rolled.
The door to the room opened, and Aaron came out with a towel wrapped around his waist. He held Mina's shoulders possessively and smirked at his cousin.
"I love my woman loud. Any problem, cousin?" He said.
"Oh God! Shameless people. You two are just shameless. You left your daughter for me to babysit, and you were screaming at the top of your voice. At least think about your daughter." Naarah snapped.
"If you can't take care of her, then we can hire a nanny," Aaron said.
He pulled Mina towards his chest and kissed her temple.
"Isn't that right, princess?" He said against her neck.
Mina shrugged her way out of his embrace.
"We are sorry. It won't happen again, Naarah. We will keep our voice low."
"You will keep your voice low. Does that mean you guys are going to continue with this?"
"Yes," Aaron said
Mina slapped his chest before facing Naarah.
"No! I meant we will take responsibility for what we did."
Naarah rolled her eyes at them and said;
"Shameless parents. At least come for your daughter from my room."
After saying that she left.
Aaron lowered himself and whispered in Mina's ear.
"We should tell her she will be hearing from us more. Or should we move it to my house?"
Mina glared at him.
"You! It's all your fault. How will I face my baby now? Oh, Ellie. She will think I'm a bad mother."
"Nobody will hate you, princess. I don't care if they do. After all, you're mine. You should care about what I think."
"That's your daughter we are talking about, Aaron."
Aaron shrugged at her. He cares about their daughter but not as much as he cares for Mina.
