บท 74: Pillow Talk

Alaia's POV

I wake up suddenly in the middle of the night, Nick is not in bed but i think i have a pretty good idea where to find him. Wrapping a blanket around myself, i make my way to his workout room.

I find him siting on a Pec dec machine, his body is dripping with sweat, but at this moment he is not doing anything but just staring off into space.

I can make a pretty good guess what he is thinking of, and it saddens me.

'Hey' i say, standing by the door to get his attention.

His head snaps in my direction and he exhales slowly.

"Hai, why are you up?"

"I got lonely" he gives me a small smile but doesn't say anything.

I can imagine his dissapointment. I remember very vividly how happy he was announcing my pregnancy to his father and how ecstatic Allesio was. I had never seen them so happy, and proud, but now I feel like i dissapointed him, like i let him down.

I didn't realise my mind has drifted till i hear him call out to me loudly.
