Let's Do It Sooner

Aurora's POV

" Why are we walking like this in the late night?" I asked him. The party was over and it was time for us to sleep. But Luke my crazy fiance who was too much acting like Liam today. I sighed. He decided to have a walk after that too much eventful day. I was thinking either coming with him or sleeping. But my heart own the battle. So, here I am roaming with him in the late night.

" Cause, I am loving it." He said. "Why are you tired?" He asked me.

" No, I am not." I said. He chuckled.

" It's so cute when you try to lie." He said. I narrowed my eyes. "Let's have a sit here." He said pointing at the bench which was on the roadside.

" I am sitting just because I am angry with you. I am not at all tired." I lied and he chuckled sitting beside me. I kept my eyes on his shoulder and tugged myself with him. He patted my head.

" You are really tired. You shouldn't have come with me, babe." He said.

" But I wanted to spend time with you. I missed you these days. It's been 7 days since we are not talking." I said.

" Yeah, we kept a bet." He said.

" And I think you won it." I told him and sighed.

" Yes, you were crying like a baby." He said and I elbowed him. " Don't judge me. I was too upset. It made me feel totally left alone." I said.

" You will never be left alone, Babe. Never ever." He said and kissed on my forehead. I smiled widely.

" Yeah. I think so." I said.

" Yeah." He said and with that a comfortable silence was covered us.

None of us talked. I just could feel his arm around my shoulder. I rested my head on his chest wrapping my arms around him. I could feel his heart beat. It was a very comfortable situation between us. I looked at him and found him looking up at the sky. I caressed his cheek. He looked at me.

" What happened?" He asked me.

" I wanted to tell you something." I said.

" Yeah, sure." He asked holding my hand which was on his cheek and kissed on my palm. I smiled.

" I wanted to say that to you from a while. I just don't know how to tell that." I said.

" Yeah, sure. Just tell me, Babe. What is that?" He asked me.

" I want to...umm.." I stopped.

" Yeah, what's that, Babe?" He asked again.

" Actually, I uhhh... I wanted to talk to..." I was really confused.

" To whom?" He asked me.

" To my dad." I said.

" What?!" He looked at me weirdly.

" Yes, my dad. Can I ?" I asked him.

" Why... I mean why do you need to talk to him? Aren't you happy here?" He asked me.

" I am happy. Trust me. I am very very happy. It's like I got a family here. But still I want to talk to him once. I want to let him know that he no need to search around for me. I am fine." I said.

" Do you think he does care about you?" He asked me.

" He does, Luke. He loves me a lot." I said.

" Yeah, I can see that. Tell me if he loved you a lot then why didn't he stopped your mom? What was the reason for him to stay calm when his wife was selling his daughter as a..." He stopped. His hold on me tightened.

" He wasn't there that time, Luke. He didn't know. My dad loves me a lot. I know if he was there he would never ever let that happen." I said to him.

" Doesn't matter. It would be the same. Besides you no need to tell him where you are by yourself. Cause it is by now spreaded all around. I bet they came to know already and he is your dad. You no need to ask for my permission to talk to him." He said.

" They already know? This what you were saying?" I asked him worriedly.

" Yeah, I think so." He said.

" What if they come to take me there?" I asked him.

" They wouldn't dare." He said.

" Still if they drag me?" I said.

" How old are you?" He asked me.

" Huh?" I said confusedly.

" I asked how old are you? What is your age?" He asked again.

" I am 21 and soon going to be 22." I said.

" Yeah, I know that." He said.

" Then why did you ask?" I asked him.

" Cause I wanted to make sure that you know you are soon to be 22." He said.

" So what happened?" I asked him.

" So, this happened, no one can drag you or force you to do something if you yourself don't want to do it. Cause it's your wish to do something. You are independent. No one can stop you from doing anything. You are worrying without any reason. Besides..." He stopped.

" Besides?!" I asked him.

" Besides you are my fiance and no one dares to mess with Edwards. If they try to reach you with a bad intention I will destroy them. I don't care even if they are your parents." He said dangerously. I gulped looking at him.

" I thought I have a sweet, loving and caring guy for fiance but I think I was not right." I said and he chuckled.

" Sweet, caring and loving guy for my family and cold hearted rude guy for the world." He said and I raised one of my eyebrows.

" And for me?" I asked him.

" You will say that. Why will I say that?" He said shrugging. I pouted disappointedly. He chuckled seeing me. " Babe, you are also my family. You are my fiancee means you are going to be my wife sooner or later." He said.

" Sooner or later?" I asked him.

" Yeah. Sooner or later. Depends on you." He said.

" On me?" I asked him and he nodded.

" Yes, on you." He said.

" How is that?" I asked him.

" Cause, it's you who has to decide when do you want to get married. I have no problem evenif you want to get married tomorrow itself." He said.

" Really?" I asked him and he nodded.

" Yes." He said.

" Then what if I want to get married now?" I asked him raising one of my eyebrows. He chuckled.

" Sure, babe. If we can find out a marriage register office open 24/7 then sure. We can get married right now." Hesaid and I giggled.

" But I prefer sooner. Let's do it sooner." I said in his ears.
