🌹CHAPTER FIFTEEN🌹

Hours pass and the loneliness only grows as I find myself restless in here. Just sitting here, doing nothing. Being without Luna is worse than anything because when I'm with her I'm not alone or sad. Even after the things that she has told me.

The things that I'm sure I will never be able to forget. Lena confessed her love for me and as much as I would like to tell her that I care about her in the same ways, I don't. I love her but not in the same way that she loves me. Lena is my best friend and I'm hers.

I've been trying to figure out this cube for the last couple of hours but no matter how much I try, I can never solve it. It's too hard for me and with my mind just wondering about everything, it's impossible for me to focus on the solving it. My thoughts just don't stop, ever and I don't think they will ever stop.

The seconds pass by but they never seem to pass at the same time. I find myself missing that clock that was in my hospital room because as much as it did annoy me to the limit, I still find it to be somewhat of a time passer when I was bored.

And right now I need something to pass the time for it just doesn't want to pass for me. Sighing I lie down on the bed and look up at the ceiling and how white it is. The ceiling isn't that good to look at but it is something and sometimes I think that it can be an empty canvas for my never ending thoughts that never want to leave me alone and there I can paint them on and leave them.

My eyelids start to feel heavy and I let them drop until I'm met with nothing but darkness as I'm taking deeper and deeper inside it like it wants to confuse me whole and I just allow it for it is better than being bored and soon I drift off into dreamland.

"That's the wall that I was telling you about" Alexander says to me and I smile when I see that there is an empty wall in front of us. I sit down on a stool in this house as its still under construction but soon it will be finished. "The wall that I want to pain in the loveliest rose color and then hang the pictures of our child" He tells me and walks over to me.

His hand goes on my stomach where my belly has not started to show yet but the baby inside is still there. Just thinking about my baby brings a bright smile on my face. "It's perfect. All of this is perfect" I tell him as I hug him tight. "Thank you" I whisper to him.

I feel the tears rush to my eyes and I find it hard to not cry because of this but I can't help it. This... He makes me so happy and now that we have a baby coming, it just brings me with the most joy I've ever hard in my entire life. And the smile on my lips says so too.

"For you, Rose, I would do anything" He tells me and looks down to me and I meet his gaze and his eyes are so beautiful which always seem to draw me inside them over and over again and the love that I hold for him is too much but still never enough.

"I know, and that is why I love taking advantages of you" I say with a fake smirk on my face, knowing that I'm not speaking the truth. And he knows it too as a playful look is replaced on his face and his hands try to tickle my stomach but I'm faster and start running away from him.

My laughter echoes through the large penthouse as I run around with him on my tail. But I grow tired after a while and let him catch me where he tickles me, a thing that he seems to enjoy a lot. He makes me turn in his arms and when I'm looking at him he pulls me in for a kiss which I don't deny.

His lips capture mine and they're so soft and beautiful. The kiss doesn't last very long because I'm out of breath and I do like it when air goes through my lungs. "I love you" He whispers to me and those words were meant for me and only me to hear, even when there is no one inside the penthouse.

"I love you" I tell him and take his hand. His hand is always perfect and when he holds mine they fit together like they were always meant to be together, like us. I put my other hand on my stomach where my little baby is growing. And I feel this rush of happiness go through me.

All of this is a dream come true and I can't believe that all it took for me to achieve this dream is to fall in love with this man. "What do you think it will be?" I ask, as I look up to meet his eyes which are looking down to me with only love and adoration in them. He shrugs.

"I don't care, as long as he or she is healthy and look like their mother, I'm fine with whatever gender" He tells me and I let out a giggle. "Really? I'm imagining a little Alexander running around and trying to control everyone" I say with laughter as we watch the city out there from the window.

The penthouse is on the highest floor of a large building and it's so tall that when looking down, people are just ants and the life out there is busy but still so far away and the life in here is calm and collected. He raises an eyebrow at me and smiles.

"Well then, little Alexander will definitely be running around bossing everyone like his mother, and believe me, his mother is really bossy" He says with a smirk and I fake gasp and look offended. "Oh, really? I'm bossy. Say the guy who loves bossing people around to do his bidding" I tell him and I give him a look that he knows not to question because this is something that he can't win.

"Being married to you never gets old, does it?" He asks and I roll my eyes and giggle. "We've been married for three months, Alexander Knight. You should say that when it has been years or better yet, not say it at all" I tell him and he smiles at me before he takes me hand and pulls me towards the elevator of the penthouse that will lead down.

"Come, you must be getting hungry" He says and I realize that he's trying to get out of this situation that he's put himself into, well it's a good thing he stops right here because he knows that I will win. Besides, I'm pregnant and that makes me even more stubborn and don't tell him that I said it but bossy.

Thinking about food makes me really hungry and now that I'm eating for two, I will need to eat a lot and this little baby is hungry for food. "I'm hungry for cake" I tell him casually as we get into the elevator. Like always, the elevator moves rather slow but I've found it extremely nice, now that I don't despise it or loath it. "Cake?" He asks.

Looking at me with a raised eyebrow as if I had grown a second head but I'm sure that is not the case. "Yeah" I tell him as if nothing had happened. "A carrot cake to be precise" I say as I smile. His hand in mine as always but I can still feel his confused gaze on me but that doesn't matter, if anything it makes me laugh at how he is taking this.

The clock is only ten in the morning and I want cake and cake I shall get. He shakes his head and it's a wise choice not to question me. I want this cake and he will buy it for me or I will do it myself because I'm capable of buying myself cake if he doesn't but I will use his credit card to show him that I wanted cake.

As soon as we reach the basement floor where the car is parked to avoid the press that has gathered a crowd outside the entrance of the building. It seems that they know that we are going to be living there and have a family which we are not ready to comment on yet.

I can't have any stress in the pregnancy and the press and the paparazzi will do just that, bring me stress. We get into his car and he drives off. "What color were you thinking for our bedroom? And don't say white because I can't sleep in a dull and boring room with my husband" I ask him after a while.

The morning is so calm and the sun brings us warmth which makes this day even better. The sun feels the same happiness that I do and that brings an even wider smile on my face than there was already before. Alexander chuckles but he watches the road ahead of him.

"I was thinking of letting my beautiful wife decide the color and then paint it on myself" He answers and I look at his face to see that he isn't kidding. I don't think this man has ever held a paint brush in his hands. I raise an eyebrow at him but I don't think he can see that for he's busy driving.

I think for a minute of what color I would want to have in our bedroom, there are so many colors and I'm a fan of every single color but the colors of roses have become my favorite since I met him. "I was thinking of having... no, I don't know" I say.

Looking outside the window to see the coffee shop that we are going to be stopping at and how there is barely anything happening there since it's early on a Sunday morning. "Take your time, baby, and if you're not happy with one color I can do some pattern" He says and parks the car.

We get out of the car and I take his hand once more. "Then we're in big trouble" I say, referring to him painting again. Alexander Knight is the man that always has everyone do everything for him. And taking this challenge will be fun to watch but I still don't want him to ruin the walls of the room that we will be sleeping in... and doing other things.

Walking inside the coffee shop, I notice that they do have freshly baked cakes and I smile when I see a carrot cake. My mouth waters and I can't wait to eat it. While he orders, I find a table for us and sit down. It's by the window and with a good view out onto the streets but still in the shadows so the sun doesn't touch us as I don't want the sun to melt the frosting that is on the cake.

I'm not that much of a fan of melted frosting, though I would never deny frosting even if it did melt. Alexander comes over with the cake and the coffee that he ordered for himself, he also bought me some orange juice which I really like and I start eating my cake.

"When will we move?" I ask him before I stuff my mouth with cake. I wasn't kidding when I said that I wanted cake and I wanted it now. "In a month" He answers as he takes a sip of his coffee. I smile. I couldn't be happier in this moment, with my lovely husband and a baby on the way. It's just perfect.
