Dane’s Irresistible Desire

I slowly opened my eyes. The white ceiling greeted me with lights. I assumed that I am already in the room. After I give birth Keisha put me to sleep before moving here. She says I am healthy and ok so it ok for me to sleep right away after giving birth.

I smile remembering I gave birth to Ace earlier. The pleasure of feeling that I have a child. The feeling I have right now is that I want to immediately spend time with her. The amount I immediately thought of wanting to do for her.

I look around to see who is watching me but I don’t see anyone. My family wasn’t here, even my friends, or even a nurse. I heard someone flash in the bathroom. So someone is here but who? I waited for that person to come out but I was shocked when I saw Wallace walking outside the comfort room.

“Wallace?” My forehead frowned when I saw him.

“Hey, you’re awake.” He walked over to me and pulled up the chair to sit down near my bed. “Do you feel any pain?” He had a concerned question.

“Where are they and what are you doing here?” What is he doing here?

“Oh, your family is in the nursery, your friends came here but you’re still sleeping. They said they will visit you at home once you’re discharged.”

“And why you’re here?” I don’t know why he’s here. ‘Shouldn’t he be there with Isabelle? Though, I’m happy and my heart wants to jump but I’m confused why he come with me first. Or maybe he just visited me because he found out I gave birth.

“Watching.” I frowned at what he said. I couldn’t understand what he wanted. “Do you want to eat something? Does anything hurt?”

“Wallace, what are you doing here?” I ask again. Not that I don’t want him here. I’m actually so happy to see him. It was like the loss of fatigue and pain I felt when I saw Ace. It was worth my nine months of pregnancy and Ace’s release because I saw my daughter and now her father is here too. But why he’s here?

“Wallace?” He did not answer. Instead, he takes my hand to kiss it. Then put it on his cheek and then smiled at me while staring. “Wallace?” I wanted to cry. It seems like even though he hasn’t talked to me yet I already know the answer but I still have a lot of questions in mind.

“Thank you for giving me the precious gift, Diana. The gift that a living witness how I fucking love you. I know how ass I am, but because of your present, I feel that I am the luckiest bastard alive.” He kiss my hand again. “Thank you so much, Diana. Thank you for bringing a miracle to my life.”

“I don’t get it.” My heart throbs in excitement and I feel like I’m crying beyond comprehension.

“I will be a good father to Ace. I promise you that I will take good care to both of you. You and her, Diana. You two are my reason now for me to fix my life forever. Thank you for coming into my life and for bringing Ace.”

“Wallace?” My tears flowed one after another because of what he said. Does he already know anything?

“You and her, are my strength. Both of you are my life now.”

“You know already?” He nods and smiles. He also wiped away my tears and held my hand again. “How, when did you find out?” I asked.

“That day I arrived, the day I saw you at the gym. When I saw you pregnant I assumed immediately it was mine, but got disappointed when Dylan said you’re married to Cooper. I left and went to my room to think, get lost, and cry. I want to ask you why? Why don’t you wait for me, I want to confront you and get mad at you. But when I came back and you said the baby kicked I was surprised. How come a three-month-old kick? I am not an expert but as far as I know, the early stage that a baby kick is 5 months. Three months will only move but not kick. So I confronted Dylan and he admits that Ace is mine. That you and Cooper aren’t married because Cooper is gay and he has a boyfriend now.”

So I turned out to be a fool because I was the one who believed he didn’t know and he didn’t care.

“Why didn’t you confront me? After all these days, you know.” I don’t know if I will feel bad for him or be happy.

“I am waiting for you. I want the confession to come from you. But it looks like you don’t really intend to tell me.” He pinches my nose. “Your dad and the whole family even your friends know that I already know.”

“What?”

“And your father knows that Ace is the one that I am referring to the day you saw me with him. That day I said that I would soon be a father. Because I talk to him about us. He just rode me lying and even pretending.” My God, so I was the fool?

“But you and Isabelle—-?”

“Isabelle? How did Isabelle get involved in this?”

“I saw you with her in the mall with Erika. And I thought she was the one you were referring to as the mother of your child.” He laughed that frowned at me.

“It wasn’t me the father. It’s Hendrick Lee the famous model, not just reported so as not to spoil Hendrick. And that day in the mall, I was planning to buy a crib for Ace and by chance, we both met there and he also bought one for her son.”

“Why did you put your ear in her stomach?” I ask because he just didn’t do that to Ace.

“He took me as a godfather to her son. Besides, we’re still a business partner with Dave.” He caressed my face. “I told you, it’s just you, Diana. No one but you.”

“Wallace,”

“You are the only one, Diana, you are the only one I want to be with for the rest of my life. The dream to be mine, and to be the mother of my child and no one else.”

“Why did you leave me?” I had a reprehensible question while crying. He stood up and then looked up and kissed me on the forehead and hugged me. “You left me. You made me cry over and over, Wallace. I am alone and I need you but you left me.”

“I’m sorry. I fix myself, Diana,” he said without taking his hug away from me. “I want me to be ok before I finally take you over my life. I want to be me before I let you into my life forever so that you have no way out. But before that, I want to reconcile with my past, with my mom. I cleared everything before I came back to you. I am sorry for hurting you. But you have no idea how I badly need you, Diana. If you only knew you were the reason I sought myself out and faced my fears. You are the reason for everything, Diana. Because I want to be worthy of you.”

“I miss you.” I cried and hugged him back then continued to cry. “I miss you so much, Wallace.”

“Shh! Please don’t cry. I miss you more, Diana.” He comforted me and caressed my back. “Since the day that I know that you’re carrying our daughter I have always been by your side. I am watching you silently, Diana. I’m the one who bought Ace’s things that your daddy and mommy pretend to buy. And so I’m often in your house not because of your daddy but to check on you. At night, I sneak into your room while you are asleep and watch you. I also let your driver at BCC go so I can drop you off. And I talked to your daddy to marry you. I am always by your side without you realizing it.” He removes our hugs and holds my chin.

“I am so damn in love with you, Diana. I love no one but you and you but now there is a bonus. And now I love you two and I want to be with you for life.”

“I love you so much, Wallace.”

“I love you so much too. Can we put a label on our relationship now? Can you be my girlfriend, Diana?” I smile and nod.

“Even if you don’t ask. For me, since I gave you my body I am already your girlfriend”

“And so did I,”

“So did I,” I mimicked him. “That’s why you suddenly changed and avoided me and you go with Isabelle, you cheated on me, remember?”

“Oh, my bad.” He says laughing. “Well, at first, I was on drugs, and the second because I am angry at you because I saw you and Cooper—-wait, so you cheated also because you kiss him.”

“Ow, my bad as well. But believe me, nothing happened to Cooper and me. You and only you, Wallace.”

“I believe you.”

He caressed my face and stared at me. I saw his tears shed as he caressed my face. He doesn’t speak as long as he smiles while crying. I don’t know what’s running on his mind. Even I can’t think of anything sensible but I’m happy.

“Wallace,”

“I can’t still believe that you are mine now, Diana. I never thought my long dream would come true. The day came when I was free to love the woman I loved and she would have loved me back. The day came to form a family with him. And that’s you, Diana, you’re that woman.”

“Wallace, I also dreamed that dream. You and I when the day comes. We will both be together and form our own family.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“I love you, Diana, I have loved you so much from then until now. Ace and I will own you from now on.”

“I love you, too, Wallace. It’s only you and Ace to spin my world now.” He hugged me tightly and so I am. Finally, this is it. I also finally fulfilled my dream. The dream is to be with Wallace and build a family with him.
