The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden)

Chapter 32

Sophie’s pov

I kissed Ash’s head as I walked up the endless stairs. He’s asleep and the soft snores that pass

between his partly parted lips were cute.

Mila is breathing heavily behind me. “Those stairs are killers. I need a long ass shower as soon as I get

inside.” She groaned, holding the handrails and using them to pull herself up those stairs.

“Mila!” I hissed, covering Ash’s ears with my hand. The other was already pressed on my shoulder.

“What? He’s asleep, it’s not like he can hear me.” She argued; she sounded breathless as hell.

“He might subconsciously,” I argued back and thanked the heavens that the stairs were final ly coming

to an end. Ash’s weight was really something else. My arm was starting to feel numb.

We made our way to the apartment and Mila brushes her fingers on top of the doorframe where Ria

usually leaves the keys.

When she unlocks the door, the first thing we did was kick off our shoes and sighed.

“Do you smell that?” Mila stuck her nose up and sniffed the air.

I sniffed the air too and shifted Ash’s weight on my arm when I throw my bag on the sofa.

“Is that air freshener?” I snorted, looking around the entire living area.

Mila nods and laughed lightly to not wake up Ash. “Seems like Ria bathed the entire apart

ment with it and thought it would magically have the apartment clean. I don’t think she knows what a

broom and mop are.”

We both giggled.

“She even left dirty dishes in the sink.” Mila pointed at the sink that we could see from here.

“Your turn,” I said quickly, already walking away.

“Oh come on, I did it the last time she left it there too. And I’m tired!” She whined behind me.

I giggled. “Sorry, Mila but I don’t feel like it. Besides I want a long shower before Ash bug wakes up.

You know how moody and troublesome he gets when he just wakes up.”

“Ugh fine. But next time, it’s your turn!” She sighs.

Inodded and made my way to my bedroom. Setting Ash down on the bed gently, I straighten up and

just stare at him.

His lashes brush along his cheeks and his cute pouty mouth was parted. He was adorable and

someone I created with Aiden. He was the best thing that ever came out of us.

– Not being able to resist, 1 bend over to kiss his cheek. He makes a cute sound and I smiled. Pulling

away I looked at him and sighed.

He did deserve the world. And I promised him that the moment I laid my eyes on him for the very first

time.

He deserved more than what I am able to afford now.

Digging into the small pocket in the uniform, I pulled out the napkin. I read the address. It was a twenty

minute drive from here. I’ll have Mila cover up for me at work and head there first thing as soon as I

drop off Ashton at the daycare.

Sweeping my gaze back to my little boy, I whispered. “I’ll give you the life you deserve Ash. I promise.”
