One Wild Night



Sonia had a happy smile on her face as she watched Bryan walk into their bedroom carrying a tray of breakfast which he had ordered in.

They were still in their new home and since their bedroom was the only part of the house that had been fixed, they couldn't use the kitchen yet.

They had agreed to wait to meet with the interior decorators before leaving so that Sonia could tell them what she wanted specifically.

It had been from one phone call to the other all morning since Evelyn's phone call woke them up, as a lot of people wanted to confirm the news of their engagement.

The longest phone call had been from Evelyn who had been over the moon with joy, and equally pissed that Bryan had waited for them to leave before popping the question in their absence.

Evelyn had wanted to know the sort of wedding that Sonia wanted so she could organize it all, but Sonia and Bryan had politely asked her to let them handle it and if they needed her help they would let her know.

"I'm glad we turned off the phones," Sonia said as Bryan joined her in bed and placed the tray at the middle.

"Me too. Last night was so wonderful, Bryan. Thank you," Sonia said as she looked at him with earnest eyes, and Bryan smiled as he raised a piece of toast to her lips and she took a bite.

"And thank you for saying yes to marry me. I promise to cherish you and our baby or babies as the case may be," Bryan said as he took her hand and kissed her palm.

"If this were my novel, I'll be ending our story right here, you know?" Sonia asked as she ate, and Bryan shook his head.

"I've always wondered why some authors end books that way or why movies end that way," Bryan said and Sonia shrugged.

"Because the rest should be left to the imagination of the reader. They can think about the happily ever after from there. Why ruin it by writing about marriage and the ups and downs that come with it when you can end it at such a good point?" Sonia asked and even though Bryan understood he still didn't agree.

"Well, wait until our baby comes and then you can end the story if you must," Bryan said and Sonia grinned.

"I was on the phone with my editor a while ago. He thinks now might be the best time to release the novel on our story. It might sell faster as everyone would be interested in us right now because of the news of our engagement. What do you think?" She asked and Bryan raised a brow.

"But you are not done with the story yet, are you? Wouldn't it be stressful for you to try to hurry it along? Besides, do you plan to include the pregnancy in it and not the baby?" Bryan asked, and Sonia pursed her lips.

"What do you suggest I do?"

"I think you can wait until our baby comes. The news of the birth would be a trending subject as well and I'm sure your book would sell just as well. That way you can take your time to write without stressing yourself and you can end the story with our baby's arrival," Bryan said and Sonia nodded.

"Alright. I think that works just fine," she said, and they ate in silence for some time before Bryan spoke again.

"I was thinking. How about we find time to travel over to see your parents as we planned to the last time?" Bryan asked and Sonia nodded.

"Yeah. We should. I should introduce you to them and let them know I'm getting married," Sonia said and then glanced at her other phone when it started ringing.

"I thought we turned off our phones?" Bryan asked, and she gave him a sheepish smile.

"You know only Lucy can reach me through this phone. I couldn't turn it off," she said and Bryan shook his head.

"Maybe I should get one for family too," he muttered as he focused on his meal while Sonia received Lucy's call.

"Good morning, baby!" She greeted cheerfully.

"Can you talk now? Are you busy?" Lucy asked and immediately Sonia remembered it was Monday and they had probably received the DNA result.

"Sure," she said and rose.

"Babe, I need to speak with Lucy in private. I will be back," Sonia told Bryan before walking out of the bedroom.

"What's up?" Sonia asked as she headed down the hall and into an empty bedroom.

"It's negative! The kid is not his," Lucy announced and Sonia felt like dancing for joy.

"Thank goodness! How do you feel about that?" Sonia asked curiously.

"Mostly relieved. Even though I had made up my mind to stick with Tom, I wasn't looking forward to the whole Babymama drama. God, I'm so happy, Sony," Lucy said as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

After she left Tom's office she had been occupied by a brief meeting with a designer and after the designer had left she had taken her time to think about it all and had just needed to talk to Sonia about it.

"And Tom? He must be disappointed, I suppose," Sonia said thoughtfully.

"He is not. He was more relieved than disappointed," Lucy said with a sigh as she recalled how he had wept.

"Really?" Sonia asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yeah."

"I can't understand something though. Why did Kimberly do such a thing? Has he called her yet? I mean, she should have known Tom wasn't the father…"

"You won't believe Tom's grandfather was behind it," Lucy cut in, and Sonia gasped in disbelief.

"You're kidding, right?"

"I wish I was. I can't even imagine what he was thinking. But I'm glad it was all just a really bad prank," Lucy said before going on to tell Sonia how Harry had found out the truth. I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com

"Tom was so pissed."

"I would be pissed too if I were in his shoes. So, what now?" Sonia asked, wondering what Lucy was thinking.

"I don't know. As annoying as this whole stuff might have been, it has got me thinking though," Lucy said, and Sonia raised a brow.

"About what?" Sonia asked and Lucy bit her lower lip as she thought about how to say it.

"It made me wonder what having Tom's kid would feel like. It made me imagine what our kid would look like," Lucy confessed and tears gathered in Sonia's eyes.

It was the damned pregnancy hormone always making her feel weepy.

"Lucy," Sonia whispered.

"I'm not sure about it yet, but I'm still thinking. I think I am sort of becoming more open to the idea of marrying Tom," Lucy said, and Sonia grinned.

Although she had already figured that out during their last discussion, she chose to act surprised, "Really? Oh, my God! That's so great Lu!" She exclaimed.

"Relax! I didn't say I've made up my mind yet. I said I'm more open to it and I'm still thinking about it," Lucy said, but she was laughing even as she said it.

"What happened? Why are you changing your mind?" Sonia asked curiously.

"After our conversation the other day I suppose I figured out that marriage was never the problem. Love was. Love is rather. Everything I'm scared of about marriage can as well happen even in our relationship. I'd be just as heartbroken now that we are just dating as I would be in marriage if I lost Tom or if anything happened to him. If I'm ever going to do marriage and all of it I'd rather it's with Tom. I love him, Sonia. With every part of my heart," Lucy said and Sonia smiled.

"You don't want to be like Oprah anymore?" Sonia asked dryly, reminding her of what she had said some time back about Oprah not being married yet in a committed relationship for years.

"Well, the difference between Oprah and me is that her partner shares her views. Tom doesn't share mine. And now that I think about it, my view isn't really good enough to stand against his," Lucy confessed and tears gathered in Sonia's eyes once again.

"Oh, Lucy!" Sonia cried and Lucy took a deep breath.

"I'm not going to say a word of this to him. Not until I'm done with my therapy. When I feel confident enough, I will tell him," Lucy said and Sonia grinned.

"I guess I'm coming to the end of your story too," Sonia said and Lucy raised a brow.

"What do you mean?"

"My novel. I think I can see the end already," Sonia explained and Lucy smiled.

"I guess you can. I should get back to work now. I've slacked off for long enough. I called because I really needed to talk to you and get these thoughts out of the way by saying them out loud," Lucy said, feeling lighter and happier now that she had been able to organize her thoughts by sharing them with Sonia.

"Feel free to call me whenever you need to get anything out of your head," Sonia said and Lucy giggled.

"How are you feeling today by the way? What does it feel like being engaged?" Lucy asked and Sonia beamed a happy smile.

"I feel like the happiest and luckiest l girl alive," Sonia said and Lucy giggled.

"That's good to know. Are you both going back to Tom's anytime soon?" Lucy asked curiously.

"Yeah. We will go back today and stay there until the house is ready for us," Sonia said and Lucy nodded.

"In that case I will ask Tom so we spend the night at his house. That way we can start making the plans for your wedding. I'm very sure you'd want to get it done quickly before your baby bump appears," Lucy said and Sonia grinned.

"You bet. Come with every idea you have. I will ask Jade and Candace to be present too as they will be my bridesmaids. This is going to be fun!" Sonia said happily and Lucy giggled.

"Got to go now. Love you," Lucy said before hanging up.

She had a wide smile on her face as she dropped her phone and it occurred to her that she was happy. She was unbelievably happy right now.

For the first time in years she was more than content. She was satisfied with her life, with her job, with her relationship with Tom.

She felt like everything was taking shape and for the first time since she moved to Ludus and met Tom, she felt like she had a handle on things and knew exactly what she wanted and what she was doing.

ƥandasnovel·ƈom She was going to give her best to everything in her life. She would give her best to her job as she could. Give her best to her relationship with Tom and her friendships and relationship with her family, and she would give her best to therapy as well.

If she was still feeling this way or even better six months from now, that would be all the confirmation she would need to know that she was on the right track.

She grinned as she thought about Tom and how he would react if he knew she was now really thinking of being his wife and possibly having his kid. She knew without a doubt that he would be over the moon with joy.

That was what she wanted for him and for herself. She wanted them both to be happy and satisfied with their life. She wanted them to have everything the wanted from each other and with each other.

She glanced down at her phone when it vibrated with a message notification and she sighed when she picked it up and saw it was from Kimberly.

[I'm sorry. Please don't be too mad.]

[As long as you're not interested in my man, I'm not mad.] Lucy texted back.

My man. Yes, that was right. Tom was her man and there was nothing anyone could do about it.
