REIGN (A REVERSE HAREM)

51. Asher

Arabella smiled widely as she seen a tiny duckling in a cage, "Oh my word!"

I smile at how happy she was, holding her hand as we walk down the stairs. Juliana and Gia smile, Afra holding a pink hirthday bag.

"Happy birthday." Afra smiles.

Arabella let's go of my hand and walks to her mothers family, bending down to hug Afra first, then raising to hug Gia and Juliana, then her vision settles in on the ducklings.

"They're here for your birthday." Juliana smiles, "Keep them in a smaller room."

Arabella holds Afra's hand as they start walking to the formal living room, Valentina and Luca both quickly run in with the cake.

I follow them into the living room, Arabella sat on the floor in the corner and the ducks were walking around happily.

She looked so damn happy.

A smile i never want to see washed from her face.

Juliana walks over to me, "Have you told her you're leaving?"

I nod my head, "I'll be back in two weeks."

"How does she feel about that?"

"She cuddled me all last night, didn't let anyone join us." It was adorable, she said she was going to miss me so much, there was even tears in her eyes, bless her.

I've noticed she's been a lot more emotional recently, god knows why, sometimes she'll get in weird moods where she just wants to be alone and we all respect it.

"Does she know it might be permanent?" She folds her arms across her chest.

"No. I won't let it be permanent." I won't. I don't give a shit what my mom or dad say, Arabella is here for me. I don't care if she's married to Roman, she's mine. I don't want to marry anybody else, i've found the girl i love.

"Don't hurt her, Reid." She walks away.

She spends most of the morning playing with ducks or acting like a big kid with Luca and Afra as they run around the house with nerf guns.

Valentina helps Katrina and I prepare the food, Roman was in and out all day, getting her present ready.

We're putting everything in the baskets, she wanted to have a picnic, so we're having a picnic.

She walks in with her cheeks flushed and hair slightly messy, Luca walking in after her. They fucked. I can tell. "Oh, smells amazing." She places a kiss on Katrina's cheek, then one on Valentines and then kisses my lips once. "Everybody has to wear pink for my dinner."

"I don't own anything pink, love." Roman walks in.

"Yes you do, check your rooms. You're not getting out of this one." She pinches his cheek. "You two, too."

"Yes ma'am." Luca kisses her hand, waking away first, Roman and i follow him.

Up in my room, a pink bag laid on the bed, followed by a small note and bouquet of pink roses.

I pick the note up, "Don't tell the others but yours is the nicest <3'

I smile, opening the bag and lifting up a pale pink gucci shirt. I take my white shirt off and replace it with the pink one, she got the right size.

I lift the flowers up and put them on my beside table, then walk out of the room and straight into Luca's.

His was a white sweatshirt with a pink design, he paired it with his black jeans and white shoes. I look to see his orange roses he placed on his TV stand. "What's the betting Romans just staring at the shirt?" He asks.
