Somniphobia

Chapter 97. Right one wrong time

Aria POV
I sat up on the bed while baby Ace lay sleeping beside me and Caleb was getting ready to go to work. It was 6:40 in the morning, and I was so tired, but as soon as I felt Caleb get out of bed, I woke up.

I wanted to cry watching him get ready to leave for work. Apparently, Sage and Aaron had called him to the warehouse for an emergency.

He finally walked out of the closet dressed in an all-black suit, his Rolex watch on his right wrist and his wedding band on his left ring finger. His hair was slightly messy and wet from the quick shower he took once he woke up.

He grabbed the cologne that I loved to smell on him and sprayed it lavishly on his neck and wrists. Just watching him, he looked so handsome and sexy.

He was a walking Greek god. I don't know what it is, but since I gave birth, he just looks so scrumptious. I want to jump his bones every chance I get, but I'm forced to wait and contain myself.

His broad shoulders couldn't even hide underneath that suit. His whole physique was perfection. I just wanted to lick his entire body from his head to his toes.

Gosh, it made my entire heart flutter as if it had wings, knowing I was officially married to this tall, scrumptious hunk of a man.

He finally turned around and walked over to me. He leaned down to my level, pecking my lips softly. His heavenly cologne engulfed my nose beautifully, just how I liked it, bringing me endless reassurance instantly.

I smiled as I looked up at him while he leaned over me like a tower, standing beside our bed. "I have to go, baby," he told me softly, making me pout sadly immediately.

I hated when he had to leave. It made my heart ache. "Don't pout, princess. You know I'm going to be back before you know it," he said knowingly while cupping my face delicately with his large hand.

His thumb brushed over my lips softly, causing my cheeks to warm into a soft, rosy red color and encouraging me to smile the longer I stared into his beautiful forest-green eyes.

His head slightly tilted to the left, but his eyes stayed fixed on mine. Instinctively, I tilted my head to the left, staring at him sideways just like he was looking at me.

He smiled, making my own smile brighten even more as a soft giggle escaped. "That's my sweet girl," he praised approvingly. He leaned down, kissing me on my forehead repeatedly.

I giggled once more from each sweet kiss he planted on my forehead. "I'll be home before you know it, princess. I love you and our sweet baby boy," he whispered sweetly to me before stepping back.

"W-We l-love y-you m-more, d-daddy," I replied with a small smile, still slightly sad at the thought of him having to leave, even though he was going to be back soon.

I watched him kiss Ace lightly before leaving quietly out of our bedroom. I laid back in the bed, cuddling up closer to Ace while he slept. I closed my eyes taking in a deep breath of Aces baby scent to help me fall asleep since Caleb wasn't here.

Some time later.... 9:05 A.M ....

Knock, knock.....

Knock, knock.....

Knock, knock .....

Knock, knock.....

I heard knocking at the door that only grew more persistent. I quickly got up from the bed before carefully picking up Ace, who began crying as soon as I got up.
