Chapter 58
“Let’s go,”
She said to them and they led the way, she got into the car which was parked outside of the emerald house and they drove to the hospital. It took a while for it to get to her turn as there were a lot of other pregnant women who came for ante-natal, she waited patiently until they called her name and she walked in to see the doctor.
“Your baby is doing fine and compared to before, you are healthier which is good for the baby and you, I hope you keep it up,”
The doctor told her after examining her. Sophie smiled at him. He sent her to the scan room to get a scan done. Sophie teared up when she heard the heartbeat of her baby, she wasn’t born yet but she was already a fighter. The sonographer told her the baby was healthy and developing well in her womb which was good news for her. After she finished in the scan room, she also went to the laboratory to do some tests, all of which took a lot of time. She ate while she waited for the results. The doctor called her into his office again once her results were ready.
“Like I said earlier and from the result of the scan, your baby is doing well and your test report shows that you are okay, let’s hope it states like that,”
The doctor said,
“Thank you so much doc,”
“That’s my job, I have written the prescriptions that are necessary for you while you are with the child and the nurse will let you know your next appointment, you made a lot of progress, I hope you don’t stop resting and eating well,”
Sophie listened attentively to what the doctor had to say and nodded in understanding.
“Thank you doc, ”
She said and took her leave, she met the nurse and got her prescriptions, her next appointment was in two weeks and she wasn’t sure she would still be in Otano by then; she still didn’t know why the king decided to get her a personal bodyguard, was he planning on keeping her in the emerald house? She didn’t want to get her hopes up. She walked out of the hospital to where Jose the bodyguard was waiting for her, it still felt surreal that he was mainly serving her. Sophie was about to get into the car when she felt someone’s eyes on her, she paused and turned but she didn’t see anyone, she looked around but no one stood out, just a bunch of people walking out and into the hospital. she damn well felt someone had been watching her.
“Is there a problem, my lady?”
Jose called and Sophie realized she had been standing there for too long, she got into the car and forced a smile.
“Not really, thank you for bringing me to the hospital,”
“You don’t have to, it is my job, my lady,”
He said and she just couldn’t ignore the fact that he kept calling her my lady, she was not my lady, she was a maid on probation.
“Why do you keep calling me, my lady? You do know I am just a palace worker, right?”
She asked as she fastened her seatbelt.
“Not anymore, we all know you gained favor from the king, and your position in the palace changed,”
He answered honestly. Sophie didn’t want to know what they thought her new position in the palace was as she was sure they all thought she was the king’s mistress. Why was the king hellbent on making everyone think they were together? She was tired from walking around the hospital and she didn’t want to stress herself further by worrying about what the king’s intentions towards her would be, so she rested her head on the car seat and closed her eyes. Last night, her dream of the king coming into her room and making love to her was much more intense and it kept her awake for most of the night after she had woken up. She had been so close to walking to the door that connected her apartment to his room but the little self-respect she had for herself kept her sane. She hoped it would help her tonight too.
Once they got back to the emerald house, Jose left her on her own and she spent the rest of the day reading a novel and wishing that she could get the man she wanted just like the female lead in the book but she knew reality was a lot harder than books.
Unlike the other days, Sophie didn’t wait up to see if the king would show up as she already knew he might not, so after she took a bath, she went to her room, got on the bed, and fell asleep. Not long after she fell asleep, he came to meet her in her dreams again, she was so used to him showing up that she didn’t even protest. he walked into her room and came to where she lay; he wordlessly covered her mouth with his and she opened her mouth for him as she had missed his touch, he lifted her from her sleeping position and deepened the kiss, his hands in her hair, the dream felt so real. Granted, all her other dreams felt real, but this was different, this felt deeper and more intense, it felt like he was real and she wasn’t dreaming. All she could think about was how good it would be for them if just dreaming of him felt the way he did. His hands found his way to her thighs, he lifted her nightie and caressed her pussy lips as his mouth danced and fed on hers, she knew she was wet down there and wanted him to sleep a finger inside her; she spread her legs. She jumped when he slipped a finger inside her and opened her eyes in shock. She was met with an even bigger shock when she saw him, she hadn’t been dreaming, he was indeed her, or maybe she was dreaming inside her dream.
“Is this a dream again?”
She let out as she found a way to get out of the bed.
“What kind of dreams have you been having about me?”
He asked. It didn’t look like a dream anymore, it felt too real to be a dream and the ting she felt in her pussy confirmed it.
“What? Why are you looking at me like that? What kind of dreams have you been having about me that you let me kiss and touch you while you are sleeping? You didn’t even look that surprised, were you dreaming of me touching you?”
He asked. It wasn’t the question, it was the way he spoke each word that made her realize it was real, he was really here with her.
“You are really here,”
She mouthed more to herself but he heard her.
“Of course, I am, now get back here and let me kiss you,”
He instructed and without hesitating or protesting, she got back on the bed. He pulled her to him and slammed his lips on her, she melted into his touch, happy to finally feel him physically after spending a whole week dreaming about him.
“All week, I had to hold back, do you know how hard that was for me?”
He asked and kissed her again, his hands going under her nightie to stroke her breast, she moaned into his mouth. Pregnancy made her boobs extra sensitive and she wanted him to give his whole attention to him like he had done a week ago and also in her dreams too. She missed his physical touch so much, more than she thought. Her hands went to his hair, grabbing and holding on to him as he deepened the kiss
“Oh, Sophie, I want you so much, you bewitched me,”
He let out when his mouth left her again. He stopped everything, his hands falling off her breast; she wanted to cry out in frustration.
“Tell me you want this Sophie, tell me you want me,”
Why was he suddenly asking her that? Was it not so obvious that she wanted him too?
“I can’t give you forever Sophie, I am the king and I am expected to marry from a noble family, if we start sleeping together, it is going to be just an affair,”
The bitter truth that she was already aware of came out of his mouth, even though she already knew, she still felt a pang of pain in her chest at his words but she didn’t let it show, she just nodded silently.
“Does this mean you are okay with it?”
He asked. He obviously wanted her to be vocal about it.
“Yes, my king,”
She whispered.
“You want me and you want this? You understand that this won’t lead to forever?”
