Chap 31:

Amaya pov:

I yawn and groan into Dexters thigh as I hold onto my stomach.

"Craps that bad huh?" he gently rubs my arms up and down.

"Yes, being on my period sucks," I mumble while he brushes my hair and adjusts the blanket on me.

It has officially been four days since the mix up and Mr Sloane said he'll email me this week about his verdict and has brought it up with the board.

Dexters been keeping me relaxed and busy to take my mind of this unwavering problem and I melt in the couch.

"Want more marshmallows?"

Before I began to sleepily rant about how melted chocolate with marshmallows are better than two of them being separate a small voice peeks up.

"Daddy, I need to pee," Luke mumbles and rubs his eyes sleepily after leaving his room.

I sit up and Dexter sighs and picks him up, taking him to the bathroom.

I heard them talking to each other while the TV played.

"You alright, bud?"

"Yes...just had to go pee and didn't wanna ruin the bed,"

"Good boy. My little man is growing up so much,"

I couldn't make out the rest but I smile and sink back into the cushions while they finish. Lukes so adorable and sometimes I just wanna squish him like a pillow.

After they were done, they came out and Luke waddles up to me pulling his arms out.

"Kiss, mama?" he smiles sleepily at me.

Dexter and I freeze and look at each other. Crap, what do I do?? Should I say I'm Amaya?Should I just accept?? Should I cryy? Maybe it was a slip of the tongue and a mistake.

Yeahh, that was probably it.

Luke begins to frown and looks like he's gonna cry so before he can, I pick him up and kiss his cheek to make him not.

"Goodnight, baby. Sleep tight,"

I put him back down but before he goes back to bed with Dex he turns to me.

"I love you, mama."

Fuck....definitely not a mistake then.

When Dexter comes back he coughs and smiles sheepishly at me.

"If you're uncomfortable with him calling you that then-"

"No, no! It was fine I was just surprised. And... to be honest I am 21 so I at least thought I was gonna hear someone call me that by the time I'm 30," I ramble and brush a curl from my face.

Amusement fills his grey eyes and he kisses my cheek.

"Alright, little miss talkative,"

"Oh shut up, you get what I mean." I huff as he inches closer.

"Do I though....? I mean it sounds to me you already imagine having a family,"

"What...? No...but plus even if I did whats so wrong with that?" I glower as he softly wraps his finger around the waistband of my pj bottoms and pulls me in.

"Nothing wrong with that....its just interesting how you see me as your husband," he smirks when I splutter.

"I'm sorry what?? I never thought of that once and plus even I did marry I wouldn't marry your ass,"

"Pfftt we both know thats not true, sweetheart. Name one reason why you wouldn't," he gently tugs on the end of my braid and trails his nose along my cheek.

"Because...you're....umm...too small!!" I blurt out.

Shit,  today Milly was comparing how small her ex's dick was to Max's until I threatened to shut her up and now thats the first thing I think off?? Urghhh.

I sneak a glance at Dexter and he looks me straight in the eyes and smiles, his dimples showing.

"Oh yeah?" he lets go out my braid and curls his finger around the my pjs strings.

"Says the one who was way to tired to continue and had me take over after convincing me that you can ride-"

I flushed red and screamed, slamming a hand to his mouth.

"Shut the fuck up!!" I huffed, glowering.

Dexter burst out laughing and pulled me into his arms, cuddling me and kissed my face all over.

"What am I gonna do with you Amaya? You're too easy to tease and get mad easily just like a cat,"

I rolled my eyes but before I could say a comeback my phone pinged and I yanked it up.

"Crap...its Mr Sloane.." I mutter and open the email.

"What does it say?" All the humour had been wiped clean off Dexters face and serious as he peered over my shouder.

I scan-read the email and sighed with relief in his arms, curling up.

"Its okay, he said that we were right and the man had unjustly stopped the transaction after being bribed."

I felt him soften up as he read the email properly while I snuggled up in his arms.

"Thank god, that he listened to us. I'm gonna have to speak to my dad more about Wila because if she does something like this than theres no telling what else she might do."

"I'll have to warn the university as well and-" I stopped his ramble by kissing him.

"Dexter just stop....I'm just happy that this was all okay. And stop shouldering all of the responsibility. I chose to be with you so don't ever think it was a bad thing...us together,"

He kissed my fingertips and smiled softly.

"I could never think that us being together was a bag thing."

I nod and smile, feeling slightly guilty as earlier I had thought that very thing against my will.

It was just my stupid brain, overthinking and the fact that Dexter hadn't even thought of that made me feel slightly bad.

But it doesn't matter thought because he's here with me and this whole thing is hopefully over...

Little did I know that a storm was brewing and it came demanding and dominating over everything.
