Finding Love ~ Book•2✔️

Chapter Thirty One~

Please read note at bottom.

The next few months went by quite fast. I've been in contact with Wesley as well, Aiden of course doesn't like him but there's nothing I can do about that I suppose. Wesley has been attending an AA group for his drinking and he's been getting better. I'm just glad he reached out to me for help.

And as far as my pregnancy let me tell you; I want my babies out of me. My back has been killing me and my feet as well. I'm just ready for this to be over. I haven't been at work either; Aiden won't let me.

Right now I am eight months. My belly is huge. I had to buy a bunch of ugly maternity clothes, well some are bearable but ugh! I miss my old clothes. I miss wearing tight shirts and dresses and jeans that fit just right. I guess one thing I gained is my boobs. They were plenty big enough but they decided to grow more.

Aiden and I have been talking about how we want to do the nurseries. I want all of them in a room together; but I'm thinking that I'll keep them in our room for a few months first. I'm just scared of the idea that they won't be near me.

Aiden has been disappearing into one of the old guest rooms. He won't let me see what he is doing in there. Sometimes I think he goes in there to get away from me, but I don't know. I feel like I've been annoying him. I feel so needy and I think I'm driving him away. He's been really secretive lately and has been home later than usual.

"Here you go babes." Mel sets my food in front of me. I was hungry and craving a burger from the cafe near my work so Mel drove me out here.

"Thank you; I love you so much!" I grasp the burger as Mel sits across from me. A few tiny pieces of onions fall onto the tray. I lick my lips looking at the delicious meal. I made sure Mel ordered it with extra onions and pickles.

"You going to eat it or what?" She asks me, amused. I tear my adoring gaze from my burger and stare at Mel.

"Shh, you'll ruin it." I mutter as I bring the burger to my lips. She furrows her brows.

"Ruin what?" She asks confused.

"It's gloriousness." With that I take a bite. I moan a little as I chew it. It's so good!

"Get me another." I mutter hungrily after I swallow my food. I continue to eat the delicious master piece.

When Mel gets back I devour the other burger and chug down my cherry cola.

"You know; Aiden should be getting lunch soon. I should take him something." I tell Mel. I watch her eyes as they stare at something.

"I don't think you have too." I furrow my brows and look back. I follow her gaze.

"Who is she?" Mel asks me as a young woman stands in line with my Aiden.

"I have no clue, but I'm bouts to find out." I push my chair back and walk over to them.

"Honey?" I question as I stand behind them. They both look back. Aiden looks at me weirdly. Something flashes through his eyes. I narrow my eyes. What are you hiding?

"Babe, what are you doing here?" Aiden asks me confused to why I'm not at home.

I shrug, "I wanted a burger." Or two.. My gaze moves to the woman. I take in her appearance. She's pretty, no doubt. Her eyes are ocean blue and her hair golden. A few freckles are scattered across her nose.

"Hi; I'm his Alison, his wife." I fake a smile. She looks at Aiden before responding. Weird.

"I'm Kristen." Her smile is forced.

"I was just about to bring you food but I see you've already made plans huh?" I ask. Aiden nods.

"Kristen is a family friend who happened to be in town so I'd thought we'd catch up." I can tell he's lying. Ha Aiden Km your wife you're going to have to better than that with me.

I smile, "Great, how about you join us for dinner tonight at our place?" Kristen nods.

"I'd love too." She replies.

"Well, is better let you guys catch up. I'll see you at home love." I give Aiden a kiss; making sure to show that he is mine. I don't know where this sudden burst of jealousy came from but I'm of a fan. I've really been the jealous type.

"Alright." Aiden is surprised by the kiss.

"Come on." Me and Mel leave the Cafe.

"That kiss was something." She comments as we walk. I glance at her but say nothing more.

"So Kristen, what do you do for a living?" I try to make conversation with her.

"Interior design." She sips some wine. I nod.

"That's neat; sounds like fun." I say before taking a bite of my steak.

"How do you guys know each other exactly?" I ask curiously.

"She's one of mothers friends daughter. We used to be close in high school." Aiden explains. This is interesting. I wonder if he ever slept with her. Actually never mind I don't want to know.

"We were pretty close." Kristen agrees. Right I'm changing the subject.

"So tell me more about your work." I pick at my plate with my fork.

Dinner passed pretty quickly. We talked about her job more and a about my babies.

When it was time to clean up Kristen offered to help me but I declined. Who am I to make the guest do chores?

Once I finish up with the dishes I head into the living room hoping to find them, but they aren't there.

"Aiden?" I call his name. I look towards the steps. Why would they go upstairs.

I walk up the stairs and into the hall. I notice the room Aiden always disappears into is open ever so slightly. My gut is telling me to check. As I near the room I hear whispering.

My mind wanders back to Wesley when he cheated on me. Aiden wouldn't; would he?

I take a breathe before pushing open the door. I am surprised by what I see.

"Aiden." I mumble his names with tearful eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I haven't slept a wink. I've been up all night thinking about some things. I decided to try and get my mind off this whole situation and write a chapter. I don't really feel as if this is good enough for you guys. I'm just stressed and all but I want to try and finish this story if/before I leave Wattpad.

It's currently six am and I received the Wattpad message at four pm yesterday. I still haven't gotten a response from them.

I want to thank all of you though for being super supportive and loving and let's keep #bringbackthebet and #iamanalison going. Keep tagging Wattpad. And continue to express your feelings let Wattpad know how you feel.

I've looked into other websites and I'd like to write on Radish but in order to write on there you have to fill out an application, which I did and they said it could take up to two weeks or a month so I will keep you posted. Hopefully I won't have to leave. And I have not taken The Bet That Broke Me down Yet. If they want it down they will have to do it. I won't. And when/if they do it I think I might post it again.  I'll make another account if I have too.
I'm not giving up.

Thank you all.

Love you loads!
