One Night Plus a Lifetime

Paparazzi!!!!

The next day. she woke up with heavy morning sickness. it was so bad she could not even eat anything at breakfast. she spent the entire morning sleeping in the large bed again. Natasha had been worried and would come to check on her a few times.

she also talked to her friends and explained to them she was alright. the only people she was avoiding where Andrew and Jamie. she did not even know were to begin explaining herself , she knew she had to at some point and could not avoid the conversation any longer.

one of the things that was troubling her was her cravings she was having. she badly wanted street fried foods. especially the deep fried chicken. Natasha only made Foods containing a lot of veggies and fruits maybe that's what Devon told her to give her since she was pregnant . was being pregnant going to make her eat like a rabbit, she questioned. she got up and got ready in her usual Aria style. to go find the things she wanted to eat. she wore a denim black short. converse as always and a white plain T-shirt and a baseball cap.

"Natasha...... i have some... errands .. i need to run in the city.. ill be back... " she said to Natasha who looked back at her worried. "but Aria.. you had morning sickness... are you sure its okay for you to go out" . Aria noticed Natasha was hesitant in saying something else. was she worried that she might not return. "ill be fine and ill be back before dawn..." she smiled grabbed her bag and headed for the door. there was no way she was going to stay locked up in this place for always. if she did she would go crazy. she also wanted something.. Aria wanted to try and find a job.. turns out you cant really study medicine.. the course she was taking at school she could not continue online. her only option was to get a job and then later go back to school. a different school that wont ruin Mr Presley's esteemed reputation "sick Devil.. " just the thought of him already ruined her mood.

when she reached the hallway. she found Devon's driver standing there dressed in his usual black formal suit. her heart dropped as she looked around wondering if maybe she Devon was here but she did not see him she breathed in relief . "hello.... " she greeted him politely and turned to walk towards the elevator. Aria looked back and saw the driver following her. she stopped and he stopped too. this was strange. she started walking again and so did he. Aria walked faster and he did too.

"are you following me??"

"yes Mrs Presley "

she frowned and looked at him "why..."

" i am your driver and your body guard Mrs Presley... i am given orders to follow you " he said to her.

"Wait what? ... why... why do you have to follow me ... does your boss think i am going to run away or something? " she couldn't help but laugh Devon was really something else . she placed her hands on her waist and shook her head. "tell him i wont run away.... well not today at least"

"no Mrs Presley -"

"my name is Aria... call me Aria.. "

she cut him off.

how could he call his boss's wife by her first name. it was so an ethical .

"am sorry i cannot call you by your name ... i am only to address you as Mrs Presley"

Aria could not believe what she was hearing. this man was clearly older than her so why did he have to refer to her as Mrs Presley. she bit her lip "okay... you can call me your highness if you like.. I won't stop you but you really don't have to follow me .... ill be back before sunset..." she turned around to walk but the man followed her again . Aria couldn't help but scratch her head.

"i am not running away i promise you can search my bag if you want... well actually don't search my bag... but you can talk to Natasha if you like... i told her the same thing.."

the driver was surprised by how much this girl talked. she was beyond weird. "Mrs Presley ... i am only following you for your own safety.. not to interfere in your private activities.. i was told to protect you if you go out" Devon had specifically given him orders to watch Aria. he somehow knew it was going to be a tough job after he met her and saw her nature. she was hard to deal with.

"does this mean you have to follow me everywhere i go ... ? .." the man nodded at her question . "even the bathroom?"

"no Mrs Presley of course not" he denied that as serious as ever as if he just heard something inappropriate.

"hey am only joking... " Aria face palmed herself. can this man not take a joke. seeing as though he was going to be her shadow everywhere she went... she did not have a choice but to let him follow her.

"okay... " she said in a disappointed tone and turned around walking again. "what's your name by the way?.."

"My name is Gabriel.. "

"oh how ironic ... you are Gabriel .. and your job is to protect me .. just like angel Gabriel."

Gabriel blinked twice when he heard what she said , he did not know how to respond to that. when he learned that his boss was getting married he expected it to be one of those women that surrounded him. but when he was sent to pick her up at the door. the shock in his eyes could not be hidden after seeing her in a wedding dress.

they reached the doors of the building and she walked straight ahead. "Mrs Presley the parking lot is this way. " she tilted her head to the side and spoke .

"am not going to the parking lot.. am going to the market. "

"we need to use the car, you will get tired.... its safer" he added just for emphasis .

"the market is not far from here .. we can walk .. its daylight there is nothing to worry about ... Mr Gabriel." the minute she said that she walked out and all he could do was follow. despite disapproving her actions.

they walked for 20 minutes and reached the main town center. they still had 20 More minutes to walk. she was talking non stop just like always .. asking him questions if he had a family or a wife ... "no Mrs Presley" "yes Mrs Presley" were the only answers he was giving her.

they stood at a cross road waiting for the traffic to stop so they could walk to the other side . a lot of people were standing there too. it was not until someone recognized her. not someone Paparazzi. having been Devon's body guard and driver. he knew how much people would always storm around the man flashing cameras in his face and stalking his every move. Gabriel had underestimated these people he did not think it would happen to Devon's wife so soon. he was focused on keeping her safe and did not notice the number of people hiding in the corners at first. but when they stopped. the paparazzi stopped hiding and decided to approach her.

"hey.. is this not the New wife to the Billionaire Devon Presley?? ..." one of them shouted and the rest of the people on the crowed focused on her.

"its her... its definitely her.. what is she doing walking when her husband has a lot of cars."

Paparazzi started taking pictures of her and so did the crowd asking her ridiculous questions and surrounding her..

Gabriel did not know how to shield her from these people. they all came from no where running and flashing their phones at her. "look at her clothes.."

"is she poor or rich..?"

"doesn't her husband give her money for make up?"

he saw her cover her face and look down hopeless, they could not cross the road because of traffic and could not go back again they where surrounded by a mob of people.

"why is she with another man? ... is he her lover" that was the limit for Gabriel . " Back off!!!!" he yelled at them as he tried to cover Aria from these people that where taking pictures of everything on her. her legs, her shoes her hair. her head. . the crowed kept on growing and growing .

when the traffic stopped. He held her hand and pulled her across the road as fast as he could. they were still following them. Gabriel led them into a*****e and closed it tight. he told the owner he would pay for the inconvenience and told him to lock it. the girl looked traumatized and shaken from the experience . if only she had listened to him and gone by car. he felt sorry for her. he could tell she did not belong in the spot lit and did not know how to deal with these kind of situations like her husband did . maybe after this. she would learn a thing about how crazy the media could get.

Aria did not even understand how things changed so fast. one minute she was talking and the next she was being flashed with lights on her face. she felt exhausted standing there as they snapped pictures of her without her permission. she thought yesterday's internet news was only a one time thing but she was wrong. they stormed on her like bees and she did not know what to do. she suddenly understood why Devon Gabriel for her , if he was not here . she did not know how she would have handled the situation. her life had really changed and there was no way she would ever live a normal life again. even doing something so simple as walking turned the streets into chaos. she crossed her arms as she held onto her self.

how will they get out now with all those people outside yelling and calling out to her as if they knew her. her name had become so common "Aria!!!! Aria!!! Aria!!! ."

"whats it like being married to Devon?" they asked.

"if they are so curious why don't they marry him" she said in a low tone but she knew Gabriel must have heard her.

"is there a back door to this place.. " Gabriel asked the owner of the store.

" yes its at the back ill show you .. you can leave unnoticed"

"okay.. ill have something sent to you by the end of the day" he said.

"come on Mrs Presley.. we should leave now.."

the store owner showed them a secret door that led to the other side of the building and luckily no one was there. he quickly called for a taxi and got in.

"do you still want to go to the market?"

Aria shook her head no. she was not in the mood for fried chicken anymore. her appetite had evaporated. all she wanted was to be inside the house. even if it was Devon's house.

when they got back. she was not talking like before. she was quiet and silent as if she was a different girl. they reached the door. " Gabriel thank you for helping me out."

Gabriel was surprised to hear her say that.. it was his job to do so he was getting paid for that so why was she thanking him. it was his fault they got mobbed by paparazzi in the first place.

"you don't have to thank me i should have insisted on taking the car."

"no i was stubborn .. and made your job hard ..am sorry .. " he felt bad she was apologizing over his mistake...

"no Mrs Presley .. it was my fault.. am sorry"

"okay okay.. it was both our fault ... you take 50 percent of the blame and ill take the remaining 50 deal?? "

he smiled at her "Deal"

"okay.. and ... there is no need to stay out here i definitely wont be going out anytime soon.. "

she opened the door. "have a good day Mr Gabriel.." and closed it.

he still did not leave and waited until his working hours were over.
