Sadie's salvation

Chapter 10

Sadie pov

I've got into a pattern at work, I come in great the boys, sit down check all what needs to be checked and start my day, but when I get to my desk today there's a note and a box, I feel my heart sink until I read the note.

'Just a little something for you and the baby' I open the box and see it's the Desert I got with Aaron the other week, I want to go over and thank him but he's really busy with somebody and a motorbike, so I hold back.

I've admitted it to myself, I have a crush on Aaron, it feels like one of those cringe year 7 relationships, I feel guilty at time because I'm pregnant, with a child and all he's doing is being nice to me and I've managed to start to fancy him, it's just the fast few weeks he's been nothing but a help.

I scoff down the desert and carry on with my job, all day I just keep looking over to Aaron but he hasn't stopped once until now, so I quickly hope of my chair before steadying myself.

When I approach him he looks up to me and smiles "thank you for that, it really made me smile" when sat down he is still taller than me "good I'm glad it made you smile princess" as soon as the name slips out of his mouth he looks at me confused like I was the one who said it, I completely ignore it and act like it didn't give me butterfly's.

"I wish I could help repay you somehow" I tell him, because I really do, he's done a lot for me and Eli and there's nothing I can give in return "there's no need to repay me"the baby starts kicking, he's got a pretty powerful kick, I place my hand in Aaron's shoulder.

"Here sit down" I shake my head and push him to sit back down, I grab his hand and place it on my bump, "if your gonna cause this kicking with your voice then you can feel it"

His hands are massive so he covers a good portion of where his hand is, the baby kicks and carry's on for a while "Eli has been asking for you" I tell him, trying to distract myself from the foot in my rib cage.

"Has he, I need to see him soon" as I step back I feel Aaron's leg directly on the back of my thigh, so as the kicking still carry's on I just take a seat in his lap, and without question he just places a hand on my hip.

"Yeah, he's been asking for a sleep over with you, and I've had to explain that 26 year old men don't have sleep overs" I wiggle back to make myself more comfortable "says who, he can have a sleep over if he likes, you to if that would make you feel more comfortable"

I feel his chin rest on my shoulder "why on earth would you want a pregnant woman and a crazy child having a sleep over at your house" sometimes I think he's on drugs or something because why, just why.

"Why not, I have a big house that I'm all alone in, I wouldn't mind some company" now that I think about it his house is massive and I've never seen him or heard of him having a hookup or a girlfriend.

"Why don't you have hookups" I ask him "I don't want them anymore, I used to don't get me wrong but I left that behind, my mum wants me to find somebody to settle down with" I nod "I don't think your gonna find somebody to settle down with when you have us having sleepovers in your house"

"So what your saying there is your planning to have multiple sleep overs at my house" I just laugh as he completely avoids my statement.

"How about this, on Saturday you bring yourself and Eli to my house and we have our first sleep over" I think about it for a second, Eli would love it, I would so why not.

"Okay, but are you sure because once I tell Eli, there's no going back" I slide of his lap in a not so graceful manner "of course I'm sure" he smiles and I smile back, he has these cute dimples that make him look adorable, Florence said that he barley smiles for anybody.

Speaking of Florence, when I told her I was going to have a boy she screamed the phone down, she started crying and saying how him and Stephan are going to be the best of friends and he next time we need to get pregnant at the same time just like we planned in high school.

I'm still waiting to tell Eli, but soon I will.
