Chapter 52 - Happiness (1/2)

Eve's POV:

After the few minutes that had passed in the room, we heard shuffling of shoes on the other side of the door. It wasn't prominent but faint enough that I could hear. Did my hearing become better because I was an Angel now? I heard Ruka sigh and I pulled back to face him. I saw him put his finger on his lip indicating me to keep quiet.

He raised one of his hand towards the door and snapped the door that resulted in the door to open by itself. I saw Lizzy standing with Bella, Sebastian, Louis, Andria, Shane and I saw a boy of age fourteen with them. Lizzy, Bella, and Andria were standing in front of the door with a sheepish smile on their face.

”We were just passing by the door,” Lizzy made an excuse as though they weren't spying on us.

”To my room?” Ruka asked amused.

”Yeah, we ah actually were planning to have dinner out in the city,” she replied.

”Yeah,” Bella nodded her head.

”Sebastian saw you carrying a tiny box actually, so we wanted to witness the romantic scene though we had to settle in only with the audio part,” Andria told bluntly with a smile. Seeing the ring on my hand they squealed.

”Congratulations!!” they wished coming towards us. I got up from the bed to get hugs and kisses from them.

”We are so happy for you two,” Andria said it with a tender smile.

”Thank you, Andria.”

”Yeah, congratulations to the lovely couple,” Sebastian wished us. Shane and Louis did too. Later I was suddenly engulfed in another hug.

”Congratulations,” the boy wished me and kissed my cheek earning a growl from behind, ”I'm happy for you Vivi.”

”Aiden?” I asked shocked.

”Yeah,” he had this wide grin on his face.

”How did you grow up this fast?” I asked him. How can someone grow that fast? I felt a warm hand whisk its way around my waist.

”He's a pure blood's child. As both Shane and Andria are of purebloods, his growth and knowledge rate quickens the process,” Ruka explained to while my mouth was open, ”That's why Andria took him along to stay with Shane for a month, love.”

”Oh,” was all I could say, ”That's really fast.”

”I missed you, Vivi,” Aiden said, ”Ruka,” he said seriously, ”You better treasure her as she deserves,” he said winking at me making Ruka's hold on me tighten a little.

”I will pup,” Ruka told with a little edge in his voice. Was this the reason Ruka was jealous of Aiden that day? Because he knew about his growth and all?

”You never know who will take her away,” Aiden told jokingly.

”Aiden!” Andria scolded him, ”So when's the lucky day?” she asked us changing the topic.

”We haven't thought about it yet,” Ruka told her, ”Maybe once Eve graduated school we could pick a day,” he told them and they murmured in agreement.

The rest of the time we sat in the garden chatting. I had called up my parents and my friends to tell about the engagement. They were extremely happy and told they would come to the castle in two days. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs on the balcony that I was engaged. I was engaged and it was weird to tell it out. After dinner, Ruka pulled me out of the castle to have some time for ourselves. We walked out of the castle feeling the fresh breeze.

”In future when we have kids will they grow up so fast too?” I asked him and a beautiful smile graced up his lips.

”That depends, its first time to have a pairing like ours so we can't say anything about it. Maybe once the baby starts growing in the w.o.m.b we can know what it is,” he told and I nodded my head.

”I see.”

”It makes me happy to know that you are thinking about our kids already,” he told me and continued talking, ”You just have to tell the word, Eve.”

”Word?” I asked him confused at what he was talking.
