Wife & Daughter.

It was three days now since she accepted to be Alia's mother and the little girl wasn't wasting time on showing her need for a mother.

Snow opened her eyes to find the little girl sleeping next to her. She wondered when Alia had entered her room and gazed at the open door.

Slowly she pulled away her arm from Alia and turned on the other side to leave the bed.

Snow flinched back to see Divean sleeping next to her, his eyes open quietly gazing at her. When she moved back his hand moved to grab her back to him.

She froze directly looking into his eyes.

"Don't move or you will wake her up " he said.

Snow breathed realising he was stopping her from bumping into Alia who was still sleeping.

She nodded.

"Morning " he muttered withdrawing his hand from her waist.

"Morning, when did you both come in here?" she asked.

"Close to midnight. She could not sleep cause of a belly ache and asked me to bring her to you " he said.

"Bellyache...is she okay now " Snow sat up turning back to Alia.

Divean watched her as he slowly nodded.

"She fell right back to sleep the moment I laid her close to you," he said.

Snow blinked trying to remember anything from last night but failed.

"Am glad she is okay, you should have woken me up" she let out.

"I tried but you seemed exhausted, you muttered something then held Alia and went back to sleep" he smirked.

"And you, why did you stay too?" she asked.

"Why, I can't sleep with my wife and daughter?" he asked sitting up too.

Snow fell silent and Divean chuckled getting out of bed.

"How did it go with the shopping yesterday?" he asked.

"Okay.., you have a lovely mother " she commented.

"Mmm, I know " he stood beside the bed and watched her get out too.

Snow noticed him gazing at her and realised it was her sleeping wear he was gawking at.

"What are you doing?" she yelled grabbing her night robe and draping it over her body.

Divean moved to where she was and Snow backed away. He kept coming cornering her to the wall next to the bed.

"Did you wear that to seduce me dear wife " he smirked.

"Ahh...no...oooo it was your mother who bought me this. An...and..... I only wore it 'cause I didn't have anything to sleep in " she stammered.

He smiled.

"And why would I seduce you...I...I" she stopped cause Divean had leaned in closer to her face silencing her again.

"Why is your face turning colour " his deep voice sounded.

"Maybe because you're so close to me " she breathed.

"My dear wife, you need to get used to this. We are a couple after all"

"We are not married and are pretending. I don't think this is appropriate " She looked away.

Their voices almost whisper now.

She gasped when his firm hand gripped the back of her waist closing the gap between their bodies.

"Whether it is real or fake Constance, I want you to give it your best " he said.

He pulled away and she huffed glaring at him.

"What do you think am doing?" Snow pushed him out of the way and ran off.
