Rushing to the hospital in my heels, I took a deep breath once I stopped in front of the room she's in. Feeling anxious, worried, and even anger at the moment as I opened the door and my eyes landed on the taller woman.

Julius: I'm sorry to disturb you, Amayah, but Aiden got hit and we're at the hospital right now.

The fear I felt upon receiving such message from her friend. Adding the fact that I know she's had a drink crossed my mind and I thought of every worse possible situation that could have happened to her. I didn't bother asking Julius anything and cut off my bonding with Aaron to go straight to her.

Brown eyes looked at me, they were apologetic and sad. My anger melted away at the sight of her. Marching towards my lover, I pulled her in a hug and cupped her face, looking for more injuries she acquired from the incident.

"It wasn't that bad, just some wounds and a sprain," she showed her bandaged wrist, trying to assure me. "The driver was speeding a little bit but managed to hit the brakes so my injuries aren't that serious. I might have also been stupid enough to stand in the middle of the parking lot where vehicles pass by," Aiden uttered the last part awkwardly, probably ashamed of herself.

I caressed her cheek with my thumb. "What happened, baby?"

Aiden looked down at her hands before turning her gaze to her friends who are all sitting quietly and already sobered up. "Can we have some privacy please?

They all nodded and stood to leave. "Call us when you need anything, we'll be outside," Vera said and gave us a soft smile.

"Thank you, I will."

Once we were alone in the room, Aiden sat up properly and held my hand with her uninjured one. Taking a deep breath and placing a gentle kiss on my palm, intertwining our fingers after.

"My aunt called and told me that mama was rushed to the hospital, she fainted while cleaning and I just froze, I guess. At that moment, all I could think about was her, how she is, what happened and if she's okay," Aiden sighed deeply, closing her eyes as she leaned her head on my shoulder.

I stroked the back of her hand with my thumb. "What did your aunt say? Is she okay?"

She nodded against my shoulder. "Apparently mama overworked herself again, she also forgot to eat her dinner and that caused her to have a fatigue because for some reason, she's up and cleaning at literally 4 am in the morning. We talked awhile ago and I was scolded because of this. Mom and dad also found out. My ears got destroyed."

I couldn't help but sigh in relief, glad that it wasn't anything serious. I know how important Aiden's mother is to her, she's basically her whole life. Despite not having met or even talked to the woman in any way, based on the stories my lover told me, she sounds like an amazing person and a great mother. I've already felt a sense of attachment to Aiden's mother.

"I don't know what I would do if anything happens to her, Amayah. It would kill me," she whispered.

I made her look me in the eyes. "But nothing bad happened, okay? Your mama is in good health and your aunt will make sure of that. Now, focus on yourself because you almost got yourself killed. You think your mother will be happy if that happens?" Aiden shook her head with a pout. "You had me so worried, baby."

"I'm sorry." I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the adorable way she said it, pouting her lips and giving me the cutest look.

"It's okay. Just, try to avoid this from happening again, okay? It would hurt me immensely if anything bad happens to you," when she nodded with a smile, I pulled her face close to mine in a short kiss.

"It'll try."

"Good, now did they say you're free to go?"

"They did, let's go?"

I helped her stand up although she obviously doesn't need it and we all went out the hospital with her friends after paying the bills. Vera, who had the least drink aside from Aiden, drove the rest back to the campus while Aiden rode with me. Once we got home, the taller girl hopped on the shower while I messaged Tristan about Aiden's condition.

I didn't reply, knowing it would annoy him. Tris proved my point when he sent another message after 2 minutes at most.

I couldn't help but laugh when he sent it along with an eyeroll emoticon. Once again, I chose not to reply and turned my phone off. I then looked up when the bathroom door opened, revealing Aiden in fresh new clothes, wearing her muscle shirt and boxer that I absolutely loved on her.

"Help me, please?" She pouted, lifting the elastic bandage she took off to take a shower. I patted the space on the bed. "Thank you," my baby grinned, sitting down next to me and handing me her injured wrist.

"2 to 3 weeks?" I asked, assuming the time it would take to heal.

She nodded, eyeing the bandage I did. "It's a minor damage on the ligament, so yeah."

"That's good."

"I don't think it'll be a problem when we fuck," she suddenly blurted out.

My jaw dropped and my eyes widened as I stared at her, absolutely shocked. Aiden's cheeks then reddened, her shoulders shrugging as she grinned shyly at me. I shook my head in disbelief, although couldn't help but return the same playful smile.

"Never expected to hear that from you," I said, both still shocked yet somewhat proud. I love how bolder and braver she's becoming as time passes.

"Sorry, it's just what I've been thinking the whole time the nurse was bandaging me up," Aiden chuckled, touching her nape.

I raised a brow. "Is that so?" She nodded.

"Wouldn't want to leave you unsatisfied because of this," she said in a low voice, eyes staring me down before planting a chaste kiss on the side of my lips.

A smirk made its way to my lips, loving the game. "Well, you can just be a good girl and lay down while I ride your mouth–" I whispered seductively. "–and your cock."

Although my lover blushed at the idea, she didn't shy away like she would before. "I like that idea."

"I have more," I said and placed my hand on her chest, pushing her down the bed gently so she could lay on her back. "Want to hear them?"

"Or you could just show me," Aiden husked out, touching my hip with her uninjured hand once I straddled her lap.

"I'm sure you'd like that," I teased, moving my hands under her shirt, touching the bare skin and pushing it up to show more of her glorious abdomen.

"I would," She groaned, her grip on my hip tightening. "So please fucking show me."

I grinned at her frustration, leaning down so I could whisper in her ear. "Remember when I said I'll teach you?" A nod was her only response. "I think it's the perfect time for some lesson."

"I think so too–" Aiden stopped in the middle of her sentence when a phone suddenly started ringing, I laughed as the brown-eyed woman groaned in frustration. "That's my Mama's ringtone. I need to answer it."

I placed a short kiss on her lips before unstraddling her, patting her chest playfully as she sat up properly and went to answer the call. I leaned down on the headboard, looking at Aiden as she started talking to her mama.

"Yes, mama. I'm about to go to sleep–yes, I'll make sure to put ice on it. Hmm... I did, yes." Aiden laid down, putting her head on my lap. My hand then automatically went through her hair, my fingers combing through it soothingly. My baby sighed happily, snuggling closer.

"I love you, too," she said with a smile and after exchanging a few more words, her mama hung up. "My mama really just cock-blocked me, huh."

I chuckled. "She's worried."

"Yeah," Aiden sighed and then bit her lip, looking up at me playfully from her position. "So, shall we continue?"

I laughed, bending down to kiss her. "We shall," I whispered against her lips, a smile on my own that hasn't left since earlier.

I just find myself smiling everyday whenever I'm with Aiden. There's never a dull moment when we're together. G–d, I love her so much.
