What I Want ✔

Chapter 5

Aubrey

My eyes fluttered open to reveal Haden sitting next to me.

The memories of last night came flooding into my mind. My face instantly flushed at the thought of me begging him to stay.

He looked rather uncomfortable sitting on that chair.

I took a minute to observe his features. His long lashes fanned over his face and he wore pink pouty lips as he slept. As if noticing my gaze his eyes snapped open.

I looked away from him, a crimson blush covering my face.

"Good Morning," I greeted.

"Morning."

"Thanks for um, staying the night," I smiled and his eyes softened for a moment.

"I didn't do it for you Aubrey. I did it because if I didn't stay you would have kept crying and disturb me from my sleep," his words stabbed me.

I promised myself I wouldn't cry when he insults me. I'm better than that.

"Okay, I understand."

He paused for a moment then left my room.

Why is he so bipolar? Yeesh, it's annoying.

I jumped into the shower and took a nice refreshing bath. After brushing my teeth, I changed into some shorts and a tank top. I'm sure Haden already went to work.

The thing is, I don't want to be home alone considering what happened yesterday.

I decided to call my sister maybe she would bring the kids over.

She answered the phone instantly.

"Aubreyyyyy!" She screamed and I giggled.

"What's up Emma?"

"I'm good. I haven't heard from or seen you since the wedding."

"I'm sorry. I know I should have called."

"Its fine. But how is that sexy husband of yours doing. Are you both getting along?" She laughed. I could tell she was wiggling her eyebrows. And her words held double meaning.

"We're both good and yes we are getting along."

"I heard that you guys didn't go on a honeymoon," She stated.

"Yes, I wasn't feeling well so we just put it off."

Emma and I chatted for a few more minutes. She settled for coming over this Saturday with the kids because she already had a busy day ahead of her.

Talking with Emma made me feel a whole lot better.

I was tired of watching television so I decided to go to take some fresh air at the park.

The weather outside was cool, it was early October and the air was now beginning to become chilly.

I wore a black camisole, matched with a cream cardigan, ripped jeans and black suede heels. After brushing my hair to a smooth sheen, I playfully pinned it up into a chic messy bun. With my favorite sunglasses as the final touch, I was ready to go.

Taking a final glance at myself and grabbing my purse, I made my way to the garage. This is actually the first time I've been down here. Haden sure has a lot of cars. It ranged from different types of Benz to Toyota cars. This is so amazing.

However, I settled for a white Chevrolet.

I arrived at the park about 15 minutes later. It was quiet and barely had people as it usually does. There were two teenage boys skateboarding and a young girl and a child.
