Chapter 3 Hidden feelings

Chapter 2

Aiden's pov

Seeing Destiny every day was torture. I loved her so much, but I know she doesn't feel the same for me. She had a boyfriend that she was madly in love with. She has forgotten all about me and what we once had. Besides I am with her sister now.

I know I screwed up by kissing her, but I needed to feel her lips on mine again. All the same feelings came rushing back. I told her everyone thought that her relationship was fake, but I lied. I guess it was just wishful thinking. You can clearly see that they are very much in love and it hurts so bad.

I treated her like my sister whenever anyone else was around and I hated doing that. I did it, so I wouldn't hurt Desiree. She was good to me and didn't deserve to be treated like that. She doesn't know I was ever with her sister and I never want her to find out. She just thought I once had a crush on her twin.

Desiree was the one to help mend my broken heart. So now here I am planning on marrying the sister I didn't truly love. It was driving me crazy knowing That Destiny was up in her room alone with another man. I hated him so much. If it wasn't for him I would be the one in her bed right now. Now I felt sick thinking about her being in bed with him.

I needed to get out of the house and try to forget all about her. I grabbed my keys and was heading to the door when Desiree walked in. I thought she was at the salon getting her hair done but it looked the same to me. She looked at me and she had this glow about her. She looked really happy. She gave me a kiss then looked around.

"Hey baby I have some amazing news is my sister here, so I can tell everyone at once?"

"Yea she's in her room with Luciano."

"Okay I'll go get them and be right back."

I tried to keep the venom out of my voice when I said his name, so Desiree wouldn't notice. I wondered what her good news could be, and why does she want to share it with everyone. They all came back downstairs, and Desiree came and sat on my lap. She was always clingy when others were around.

Destiny looked over at us then hurried to look away but not before I could see the pain in her eyes. She looked sad. Could she be feeling what I'm feeling? I needed to find out before I made a huge mistake and married her sister.

"Well I'm so glad everyone's here. Like I said I have some amazing news. I went to the doctor today and found out Aiden and I are going to have a baby. Isn't that wonderful news?"

No this couldn't be. How could she be pregnant? We barely ever had sex and always used protection. I looked over at Destiny she had a smile on her face, but I could clearly see the sadness in her eyes. A baby changed everything. There would be no way I could ever leave her now. I could never walk away from my child.

This baby should have been mine and Destiny's. Now I was stuck with Desiree for the rest of my life. There was no way of getting out of marrying her now. I needed to forget all about Destiny and start my future with Desiree like I should have been doing all along. No matter how hard that was going to be.

I should have fought harder for destiny back when I had the chance, but none of that mattered anymore. I was going to be a daddy. I kissed Desiree and pretended to be happy. Destiny gave her sister a hug told me congratulations then left with her boyfriend. I guess they wanted to give Desiree and I some time alone to talk.

I wanted to be with destiny making sure she was all right. I didn't want to sit here alone with Desiree. How did my life get so messed up? I should have ended things with Desiree a long time ago. I stuck with her because she was the only way for me to stay close to the woman I loved. Now everything is so messed up.

"Are you happy baby?"

I was so lost in my own thoughts that I almost didn't hear her say anything. She looked as if she was about to cry. She deserved to be with a man that loved her. Now she would be stuck with me. I didn't want to hurt her. I wish I could love her. I have tried so hard to be with her, but she isn't who I want. Now I was going to marry her and raise this baby with her. I had no other choice.

"Yes of course I'm happy."

"Good. I also have some other news."

"Oh, and what's that?"

"I have to leave tomorrow for an emergency business trip and I may be gone for a few weeks or longer depending on how long it takes me to fix someone else's mistakes."

Desiree was a no-nonsense business woman. Her career was very important to her. She was one of the youngest in her trade. She moved up the business pretty fast. Her career came before anything, so it was no surprise to me that she was leaving the day after she told me she was pregnant.

"Will that be ok in your condition?"

"Of course, I already got the ok from my doctor."

"I'll miss you." I said.

She just turned around and started packing like she couldn't wait to leave. I just wondered why she didn't tell me about this trip before now. I mean I really didn't think she should leave after just finding out she was pregnant. What was going through her mind. Desiree was a hard person to read.

"Don't do anything crazy while I'm gone."

"Of course, I won't I love you."

Hearing that seemed to make her happy finally. She was acting very strange. Maybe her going away wasn't such a bad idea after all. I was looking forward to time apart. Having these last little bits of freedom. Maybe I could spend some time with Destiny. Yes, this could be a very good thing.

I knew once Desiree got back she would push for us to get married right away. If I was ever going to get closure with Destiny it had to be while Desiree was gone. Now that we lived in the same house she couldn't avoid me for very long.

I asked Desiree to wake me up early, so I could give her a ride to the airport. She said I didn't need to trouble myself. Now I knew something was up because normally she would want me to. Maybe she was stressed out. It wasn't like we planned for a baby. I told her to come lay down in bed and let me hold her.

The last thing I wanted was for her to be stressed. I knew that couldn't be good for her or the baby. I had to be the one to assure her. To be strong for the woman that had my child growing inside of her. I didn't want to be the reason she could end up losing our child.
