ACE'S POV
After eating diner, I go straight to my bedroom where I tiredly slump in my bed. I'm not going to do any work tonight. I'm just going to have a very good rest so I can calm my nerves. Today has been quite nerve wrecking from me. First, my mother caused a scandal on the internet, then came Asher who wouldn't let me talk to Luna, Kyle didn't make things better when he gave me an anonymous phone call. I almost fainted when he mentioned the fact that his father planned on sending Luna out of the country with my unborn child. I would go crazy if that happens.
Mother didn't make things better for me when she kept insisting that she has the right to make decisions for me.
The most important thing is that I got the issue resolved. Luna's name has been cleared so her father won't have to send her away.
I still have her and my unborn here with me.
"Thinking about Luna?"
A voice asks from the door and when I look, I sigh in frustration when I see Sophia leaning by the door looking all hot and sexy as usual.
Queen of mischief
"Or your unborn child?" She asks walking further into the bedroom with her heels clicking loudly on the ceramic tiled floor. Before, I used to be mesmerized by the way she cat walked confidently with her head held up high. Her revealing clothes used to entice me a great deal and whenever I laid my eyes on her, I always just wanted to hold her in my arms, kiss her and have her moaning my name in pleasure in my bed as I thrust deep into her but right now, everything about her turns me off. The voice which I used to find soothing now irks me the moment I hear it. Her face is baked in make-up and I can't even believe that she has the mind to wear what she has on right now. Her out fit is too revealing.
I feel like I have been freed from a hex that had been casted on me all those times I used to find her attractive.
I cringe at the thought of our wedding coming up in a few months. How I wish I could just snap my fingers and then things turn out the way I want them to be.
"You have been ignoring my calls and leaving me blue ticks on WhatsApp"
"Justly thought, rightly said"
"Where did I go wrong?" She asks calmly.
"You did nothing wrong"
"Then why are you doing this to me?"
"We are still going to get married, so what is it that I am doing to you?"
"Really, are you seriously going to ask me that question?"
"I'm afraid, yes. That is what you want right?, for us to get married"
"No. I want us to be the way we used to be before Luna came between us. Ace you promised me that nothing was going to come between us but here we are, worlds apart, unable to even converse like the lovers we are or even spend quality time together. Our wedding is coming up in five months but there hasn't been a single day when we sat down to discuss how we want it to look like. Things don't have to be this way between us. We are engaged for crying out loud" She scolds in rage and I quietly sit up from my bed and carefully look at her.
She looks angry and surprisingly, I don't care.
"Sophia there is no need for you to get so worked up about this wedding issue. Our mothers are working on the wedding preparations and I trust them to handle it perfectly, don't you?"
I ask with a raised brow and she purses her lips and folds her arms over breast as she give me the "seriously?" look.
"I know that okay, but I think we should do some stuff together like buy my wedding dress, your tuxedo, our rings, choose the wedding colors...you know, stuff like that. That is what people who are about to get married do, right?"
"We are not going to follow other people's footsteps. Our mother's are going to organize this wedding and it will be extraordinary, so stop worrying"
"Fine, I'll take your word for it. Ace can I ask you a question?"
"What now Sophia?"
"Do you still love me?, even if it's just a bit?" She asks calmly and sit up from my bed and walk close to her. When I am close enough, I use my index finger to raise up her chin and I look straight in her eyes that are concealed beneath very long artificial lashes.
Almost everything about her is artificial.
" Sophia I wouldn't incline to this wedding if I didn't have even an iota of feelings for you. You are my childhood friend Sophia and I have loved you for quite some time and that's why I can't just call off this wedding. Everyone deserves a chance so I am giving you a chance. We have made good memories that I will never forget, even my love for Luna can't make me throw all of those memories away. I am not the kind who meets one and immediately discard the other. If something has to jeopardize this wedding, it'll have to be more than just my feelings for Luna" I say as I gently caress her right cheek. "If something has to come between us, it has to be something very unforgivable"
"You really mean all what you just said?"
"It is from the depth of my heart babe. I swear"
"Then make love to me" She demands firmly and my eyes open wide in shock as I withdraw my hand from her cheek and take a few steps backwards.
I am not going to have sex with her.
"Sophia..."
"It's been a while since you last touched me Ace, so if you really mean all what you just said, prove it by touching me. Let's have sex, unprotected sex, remember you always like it raw" She says as seductively walks closer to me and when we are just a few inches away, she gently trails her fingers down my cheeks and I feel all the hair on my body stand erect. Sophia has always been the one to have her way with seductive moves and words. "Don't you miss those times babe?, when we will come home drunk and have mind blowing based all night" She whispers in a seductive tone as she brings her lips closer to mine. I swallow dry and I can feel all the nerves in myy body tense up "Remember how you'll put me on that bed and fuck the hell out me, Even when I'm in the shower, you will show up and we will have another hot love making session. I miss you Ace, I miss your kisses" She slurs as she plants a quick kiss on my lips.
I so badly want to push her away but I seem glued to the spot.
Damn! Sophia is so good at this.
"I miss your touch, I miss the way you used to explore every inch of my body like you owned it, I miss the way you always made me moan in pleasure and some times scream your name when you thrust very deep in me.. let's get naughty tonight babe, you know, explore each other and do what a regular..."
"Stop all this madness Sophia" I scold as I step away from her seductive touch. " I will not be blinded by your beauty neither will be fooled by that seductive tongue of yours. You don't have to seduce me before I make love to you. I am your fiancé, if I want you, I will have you" I walk to the door.
"Where are you going?"
"That's none of your business" I exit the bedroom and find my way into my study where I pour myself a shot of scotch and settle on the couch in the sitting area. I'm such a mess.
This dilemma I currently find myself in is one tough one to deal with. I don't just want to cut ties with Sophia because I am I love with another woman. Despite the fact that our mothers are the ones who have forced this upon us from the very beginning, I really do like Sophia. We have had some very good times together, made unforgettable memories together and I just don't want to ditch her for someone else.
That is what a teenage boy will do, not a grown ass man like me
Nonetheless, I love Luna and I very much want to be with her, I want to have her for myself. I want to be with her even after the baby is born. I would love to have a complete family with Luna and our unborn child but that will entail me ditching Sophia which is something I do not want to do. I also know that if I don't get Luna, someone else will. That will stir up all my jealousy hormones.
Gah!
Who am I supposed to choose right now?
Luna, the woman I love and the mother of my unborn child or...
Sophia, my childhood friend, my long time love and my fiancé?
This is indeed the CEO'S DILEMMA!
