The week ahead just flew by, I completed my last shift as a student nurse. It was emotional. But because I did this alone with no help. My graduation was today, and then I was moving in with the most dangerous man in the world and give him a baby.
My life is somewhat crazy right now but would I change it? Probably not:
I got myself ready, and headed to the ceremony, I never expected to see Leyton here. But he was. Sitting in the crowd. My heart skipped a beat seeing him.
I acknowledged him with a smile and a nod, he relayed with the same:
My name was called out, I walked up to the stage to collect my diploma I was now a qualified nurse.
This chapter is closed and another one opens!
Annie was occupied with her family, so I took this chance to Waltz on over to Leyton. "Congratulations, graduate." "Thankyou" I took a bow and his mouth twitched into a small smile. "Are you ready?" I took a breath. "I guess so, but what about my stuff?" "I'll have my men get it for you if you give me your keys." Hesitantly but I needed to learn to trust this man. "Ok just don't break nothing please"
This was the start of my new. Well adventure I guess for the next however long. Leyton drove us to his home, I've never really seen his house but it was surrounded by gates. Security of course, it was stunningly white outside, a pool, a gym, it was literally perfect.
He showed me round his house, "this will be your room. Make it as you please, I want you to feel comfortable" it was bigger than my apartment I swear. Crystal white carpet, white walls, the décor was also white it needed some colour but it was beautiful.
"Thanks. When do we start business?" He knew what I meant. "Tonight. We will discuss over dinner. I'll give you the day to settle in" "perfect." I mumbled as I watched his men bring my boxes to my room, literally everything I owned was in these boxes. I began unpacking, this should feel strange but honestly it didn't.
I was getting my debt paid off in return for a baby, but it was an offer I couldn't turn down.
I finished unpacking the last few boxes, and it was way over 5PM, dinner smelt amazing. I decided to wash up, and dress some what presentable, attractive.
"Just in time, April. Dinner is ready." His staff bought over the food, of course he doesn't cook himself. "Smells amazing. Thankyou." I took my seat opposite him. Not too far away but not too close. "So, we start tomorrow. Before you ask no sex involved, it will simply be insemination, we will go to the doctors office tomorrow morning" now it was all real. "Damn, can I say I'm a little disappointed we're not doing this the right way" I teased as I ate my food. He tensed. "Business, April." "Apologies, understood. Tomorrow it begins" we spent the next few hours discussing our proposal, as well as our lives over wine. He was actually allowing me to drink until tomorrow.
"So as I will be carrying your heir, I have to ask, why? Why do you want a baby?" "I've never wanted to be married. Or be in love. But I've always wanted a baby." "A man like you never wanting to be married?" He raised an eyebrow "like me?" "Charming? Tall? Rich? Dangerous man in the world who protects his own, you are evening a woman needs and looks for" I was never one to think before I speak.
"And is that what you want and need, April?" Suddenly it became hot in the room. "Always, Leyton. But this is business remember, I can find all of that after this is done" I winked, taking my plate to the kitchen and clearing away.
I could feel his warm breath against my neck as he placed his dish in the sink. "I'll have my staff clean away, that's not your job" "my job? I don't have a job if you remember? But fine your house your rules ." "Good girl" he smirked. "Excuse me before I vomit, I'll see you tomorrow morning, good night Leyton" I moved myself away from the intensity that was surrounding us.
He was a little too close for comfort, but maybe that was his plan?
As I got myself ready for bed, I knew I couldn't sleep, the house was quiet, it was 10PM. I slipped my gym wear on and headed down to the home gym, it was practically like one you would see in the street all the equipment. I spent an hour working out. I knew he was secretly watching, so I turned the heat up a little, I took off my top half and just stayed in my tight sports bra, making sure I stretched and bend right in front of the camera that I knew was there.
Continuing my workout until I was too tired to go anymore. "Nice workout?" He startled me. "Yeah. Thanks. Enjoy watching?" I winked as I walked back to my room.
I know it was strictly business but I knew he had some feelings for me and I had to get him to tell me why.
