Aaron's Fall (23 page)

“I’m here Aaron,” she called back to him.

Asia sat on a chair with her legs crossed, trying to look sexy, with her protruding belly on top of them.

“What’s going on?” he asked suspiciously.

“Nothing, I thought we would have a nice candlelit dinner,” she said rising from the chair stopping in front of him. She rose up on her toes and kissed him lightly on his mouth.

“Hungry,” she said, taking his hand leading him to the table.

Aaron was shocked, this was the first time she hand showed him any affection.

“Asia, what’s...?”

“Sh..., sit I made your favorites,” she turned to go the kitchen to where the food was warming. He caught her hand, pulling her to him. She looked up at him.

“Asia?” he said with question in his eyes. “Talk to me.”

“Aaron, I want you,” she said breathlessly.

“Its safe, I mean the baby, will she be fine,” he asked anxiously.

“It okay,” she said against his mouth.

He knocked the dishes out of his way, and sat her on the table, his mouth on her neck.

“Aaron,” she moaned. He slid her down, turning her back to him; he lifted her gown, ready to take her right on the dining room table.

Asia moaned loudly, when she felt his hardness rubbing against her, his hand on her hips, her head against his shoulder. He kissed her neck.

“I love you Asia,” he said in her ear. Her eyes closed feeling the pleasure she denied herself.

Aaron, I need you,” she moaned.

“Asia Baby,” he said, lifting her, taking her to his bed, he lay her down, and removed his clothes with haste.

Asia breathing was deep and rapidly. He lay between her legs, his arms holding him up as he entered her. Asia hands caressed his hard muscular chest as she moved beneath him, her rounded belly between them.

“Asia, I’m not hurting you?”

“No, love me Aaron,” she whispered.

“I do love you Asia. His eyes closed how he missed this with her. Her tight walls holding him were driving him mad with desire.

“It’s been so long Baby, I have no control,” he groaned.

Asia reached up to kiss his mouth, her tongue opening his mouth, touching her tongue to his pulling it in her mouth and she sucked his tongue as if her mouth was on his manhood. He pulled his mouth away.

“Asia,” he groaned, and let the passion they both missed consume them.

They both lay naked and spent. Asia head rested on his shoulder, her eyes closed, while she idly caressed his hard flat stomach.

“Asia,” he said softly.

“Hmm...,” she said sleepily.

“Why now, did you allow this?” he asked cautiously.

“I never said I didn’t love you Aaron,” she said drowsily, “I’ll always love you.” Aaron smiled.

“Baby, I’m sorry for what I put you through, I’m a fool,” he declared.

“Yes, Aaron you were,” she said softly, her eyes closed.

He looked at her beautiful face, so serene, so angelic. He relaxed, his hand on her belly, and felt his daughter kick. Asia snuggled against him, her arm possessively across his chest. He closed his eyes. This is the happiest he had been in a long time. He sighed and went to sleep.

Aaron awoke later feeling the emptiness in his bed; Asia was gone. He padded across the hall; she lay in her bed fast asleep. He lifted her, she sighed, and her head resting on his shoulder her arms around his neck.

“Thank you,” she said softly, never opening her eyes.

“From now on Asia, you lay next to me, understand.”

“Hmm...” she said her arms tightening around his neck. Aaron gently lay her down, and lay beside her.

“Aaron, I want some watermelon,” she said her eyes still closed. He leaned up and looked at her face

“Watermelon, Asia its December, where am I going to find a watermelon this time of the year?”

“I don’t know, Aaron, your daughter wants watermelon,” she nestled against him and went to sleep.

Aaron stared at her incredulously, “Watermelon,” he said frowning.

Eddie, Michael, Wayne, Thomas, Calvin, and Martin were in the locker room getting ready for practice. Aaron rushed in, late.

“Hey guys, I need your help, I’m giving a thousand dollar to anyone who can find me a watermelon.”

Each man looked at him as if he just sprouted horn, before laughing uproariously.

“You ain’t gonna find no watermelon in December.” Michael replied wiping tears from his eyes.

“That’s why am offering a thousand for the one who finds it, I’ve been looking all morning, that’s why I’m late.” he told them, “I’m desperate.”

“What do you want with a watermelon?” Calvin asked curious.

“Asia said my daughter wants watermelon.”

They all laughed again. “You got issues.” Wayne replied.

“My wife didn’t crave crazy stuff like that, when she carried my boys,” Martin said laughing.

“Neither did Tracy,” Calvin added.

“So, any takers?” Aaron asked.

“After practice, we will all spread out and ride around till we find one, it got to be some around her somewhere.” Martin suggested.

“Anything for Asia,” Eddie said.

Aaron exhaled. “Thanks guys,”

At their break, each man jumped in their vehicles, and began the search. One went to Stone Mountain, the other, Downtown Atlanta, Marietta, Athens, and Peachtree City, Covington and Griffin. Each man searching diligently. About thirty minutes later Eddie was calling Aaron over the two-way. “Hey I found one, its really big, do I get it,”

“Hell yeah, Aaron said, “Call the other let them know, thanks man, I can’t lose her over a watermelon.”

“Hey man,” I’m glad you’ve came to your senses.” Eddie said, “She a great lady,”

“How can I repay you?” Aaron asked.

“You can’t,” he hung up. Aaron rushed to a florist, and paid them to deliver it.

Asia was napping on the sofa the doorbell rang. She went to answer the door.

A man was standing at the door with a watermelon tied in a pink ribbon.

“Ms Brooks, delivery.” She smiled, and directed the man to bring it. She wanted him to wait so she could tip him.

“No Ma’am, I’ve already been given a generous tip, thank you.”

Asia grinned broadly. She took off the ribbon watermelon, cut into it, and began eating her fill.

Aaron arrived home. Asia lay on his bed. On the bedside table, sat a bowl of watermelon. Aaron peeked into the bedroom.

Asia grinned at him. “Thank you.” He smiled back and went to shower.

Aaron returned to the room a towel around his waist, and lay on the bed next to her, on his side. She pushed him to his back. He looked at her with mock surprise.

Asia reached in the bowl and took out a chuck of melon, holding it over his mouth, juice dropping on his lips, which she licked off.

“Mm...” he moaned.

She put a piece in her mouth and shared it with him. She got another piece, letting the juice drip down on his body, her mouth tasting each drop. Her hand released the towel. She looked up and wiggled her eyebrows.

Aaron laughed. His laughter stopped when her hot mouth covered his manhood, he sighed. Her mouth pleasured him beyond reason.

“Asia Baby, you have to stop, your going to make me lose it.” Aaron confessed. He pulled himself from her. Asia pouted. She then proceeded to crawled up his body to straddle him.

“Asia, is this safe, I’m not a small man.” Aaron said worried.

“Mm... I know, lets see,” she said grinning. She eased on him.

“Asia that enough.” he said concerned Aaron moved in her gently.

“Aaron your driving me crazy, roll me over, I need all of you!”

He rolled her over, and they found paradise together. Asia slept and Aaron watched her, until he fell asleep. He awoke in the middle of the night. Asia was gone. He went to her room, lifting her and carrying her back to his bed. Her eyes opened briefly, and closed. “I forgot,” she murmured. Aaron smiled and kissed her forehead. He laid her down, lying besides holding her close to him.

“Aaron, how did you find the watermelon?” she asked languidly.

He told her, how him and the guys separated and went to different city, and looked, Eddie was the one to find it first.

“Oh, Aaron, that’s so nice, you have such good friends, I want them over here for dinner, in two week, tell them, if they don’t, my feelings will be hurt.” she said, she snuggled next to him.

“Asia, you can’t cook a dinner like that for them, you’re in no condition...,”

“Please Aaron, I can, I won’t over do.” She promised.

“Okay, but the minute, I see you getting tired.

“Hmm…,” she murmured, and was asleep.

Asia was in her ninth month and feeling good. The doctor said everything was good, the baby was in position, but she hadn’t dropped yet, so she had plenty of time. Asia had been up all day preparing dinner for Aaron friends. Mom and Dad, Vessa and Lynwood, were coming, along with Tia and Tracy.

Aaron was clucking about doing to much.

“Aaron, I’m fine, I feel good.” she reassuring him.

When everyone arrived, everything was prepared. Brie and Tia offered to help. Asia kissed the guy’s for helping with the watermelon.

They were all sitting in the living room, laughing and talking. Martin and Aaron were ribbing the Marauder’s about their television debut.

“Don’t tease them, do you realize, how many offers I’ve gotten, since the award show, asking if I would loan them out, they were paying handsomely too,” Tia informed them. The Marauders looked at Martin and Aaron smugly.

“All I know is if you had dropped her, your asses were mine,” Aaron told them.

“We were all holding our breaths,” Trevet added, with a chuckle.

“The audience was too,” Wayne interjected. “Their still showing highlights of us.”

Asia barely heard what they were saying. She started having mild contractions. If Aaron knew, he would panic and make her stop. Then when her water broke this that afternoon, she had calmed herself from panic, she didn’t really have pain. She read on this in her birthing book, sometimes it took hours for the baby to come after the water broke.

“I was perfectly fine, I never felt safer, plus they were holding me so securely, I couldn’t even move, but my, it was so exhilarating,” she said smiling at the Marauders.

Aaron sat on the arm of the chair, playing with her hair. He looked down at her, smiling. He leaned down to her,

“You look so beautiful today, Baby,” he whispered in her ear. Asia looked up smiling at him.

“I love you,” she said pulling his face to her and kissing him. They were unaware that every one in the room watching them, smiling.

“Keep it up Asia and you know what I’ll do,” Aaron said with a mocking threat.

“What, I want to know?” she said seductively.

“Cut it out you two, did you forget you have guest?” Martin said smiling. Aaron and Asia looked at them, Asia blushing, Aaron laughing,

“Sorry, I forgot you were here, now if you want to leave...” Aaron offered.

“Hell no, I want to eat,” Eddie said grinning.

Asia smiled, “Then come on, lets eat,” Asia said smiling.

They all sat at the table, Aaron at one end, and Asia at the other. Everyone was talking and laughing happily. Brie and Trevet was thrill that Asia and Aaron finally together and were happy.

“He’s finally got it right,” Trevet whispered to Brie.

“Yes, he’s very happy now.” Brie said smiling.

Asia sat beside Eddie; suddenly very quietly. She laughed as much as she could. However, the pains were no longer mild, but not severe yet, just uncomfortable. Her head lowered over her plate, and she didn’t look up, for quite some time. Eddie touched her hand.

“You okay Asia?” Eddie whispered concern.

She looked up at him and smiled. “I’m fine,” she replied.

Asia glanced around the room, and smiled. She loved everyone at this table. Remembering how her life has change, because of Aaron, the man she loved. She grimaced from another pain. Her eyes closed briefly, and she exhaled. Everyone was eating dessert except for herself. She could feel pressure now, it was time to inform Aaron, and hoped he wouldn’t get mad.

Asia looked down the table at Aaron who was talking in-depth with his father.

“Aaron,” She called softly.

He looked up. “Yes,”

“Promise you won’t get mad?” she asked.

Aaron frowned. Everyone at the table stopped talking.

“Asia, what is...?”

“Promise you won’t get mad, first,”

Aaron was on his feet walled to where she sat and stooped down beside the chair. She looked down at him.

“Okay, I promise.” She took a shaky breath and exhale.

“This morning while I was preparing this meal, I felt a little mild pain, she paused, pain gripping her now, she let out a breath before continuing. “After a while, it passed, I thought it was false labor, well anyway I read in my book, it would be a few hours after your water broke, so..,” pausing again, her eyes closed briefly, “Where was I, oh yeah, well I thought it would be fine..”

“Asia what are you talking about?” Aaron asked anxiously. Tears sprung in her eyes, and spilled down her face. “You said you wouldn’t get mad.”

She reached her hand out and grabbed the closest thing to her, which happen to be Eddie large hand. She gripped it so hard Eddie winced.

She looked at Aaron fear in his eyes. “The baby’s coming,” she said through clenched teeth.

“When?”

“Now,”

“What?” he yelled.

Aaron looked at his Mom, who had risen from her chair calmly coming towards them. Asia looked up at her helplessly.

“Can you get up Honey?” Brie asked. Asia shook her head.

“Can you men please leave the room?”

“What’s going on,” they asked.

“Aaron you stay!” Brie ordered.

“Brie I’m going to reach down, and feel between your legs.”

She nodded. Pain gripped her and she groaned. Brie reached down, and felt her.

“How long did you water break?”

“About six hours ago, Mom I thought I had time, that’s what the book said,”

“Aaron,” Brie said calmly,” Carry Asia to the bedroom now.”

“Why? Mom what’s wrong?” he asked panicked.

“Asia going to have the baby, in the meantime, Tracy you call 911, Vessa, you and Tia come with me.
