One Night Plus a Lifetime

lair.

She really wanted nothing more than to vomit her lungs out. Aria held onto her stomach as the urge grew, after what felt like a lifetime, the elevator stopped and opened. she took a step out and walked the long corridor that had a red narrow carpet, all sorts of decorations and decorative plants. " 29 , 30 , 31" she counted the numbers engraved in gold on the doors of each room till she saw it 31 was the door on her left side, "Come on Aria...you where stupid enough to get yourself pregnant, now you should at least be brave and face your future". she spoke to herself and walked to the door, she pressed the door bell and she could hear it ring in the room behind the door. not a long time passed when a lady opened the door, Aria bit her bottom lip just by looking at the woman, she did not look like the woman from that other house, this woman looked like a princess or some queen, she had black straight short hair pulled to a tight bun showing off her face, It looked so tight and neatly done her face seemed it was about to tear, she was tall and slender wearing a black plain minidress and black heels. Aria suddenly remembered the dress Devon had left for her and she understood that this lady belonged to his class, next to her, Aria looked like a street kid, her jeans and converse created such a contrast to this lady's attire. she was pretty in every way possible. the thought that she might be Devon's wife or girlfriend made her heart shake a little. was she really a home wrecker, and how the hell can Devon even look at a girl like her if he had this woman in his life. Aria

asked herself. the first thing that greeted her when the woman opened the door was her strong and presumably expensive perfume.

Aria noticed something else. the woman did not seem friendly at all, she looked at her with disgust in her eyes, as if she was looking at something dirty, that made Aria uncomfortable.

"what do you want" the woman asked. "i am here to see Mr Presley," the woman eyes Aria from head to toe and back again. "why would someone like you be looking for Devon". someone like her? what exactly did this woman mean and why was she being do rude.

"there is something important i would like to discuss with him" .

"and whats that" she asked Aria. "its personal" Aria responded fast. the woman seemed to be offended by Aria's response. "i am his personal assistant and whatever it is you want to tell him can go through me" she said proudly as if being Devon's assistant was the highest privilege in the entire world. "no thank you i would prefer talking to Mr Presley himself. " Aria spoke.

"if you are here asking for money then just leave we don't entertain such people here" she said with an expression of disgust on her face. she went beyond and Aria felt mad, did this woman think she was better than her just because she wore fancy clothes. what a waste. whats the point of having a pretty face with a bad heart. why was she treating her like this if she was only his assistant and not even his girlfriend. Aria felt like telling her she was pregnant with his child just to tear her eagle down. "i am not here to ask for money and certainly not here to be insulted by you ,...i am here to see Mr Presley"

the woman did not think Aria would talk back at her with confidence, she snorted and gave her a fake smile. "well good luck talking to him, Devon would never waste a single second looking at you, leave before i call security and have them throw you out of here" she said before banging the door shut in Aria's face. Aria stood there with wide eyes surprised by this stupid interaction. her anger started to rise. all she wanted to do was slap the pride off of that woman's face. but she controlled herself turned around and headed for the elevator. she entered and pressed the button down all Aria wanted to do was leave this building, how the hell was she ever going to get a chance to talk to Devon when he was surrounded by such people. and where was she going find him. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply this was an eventful day and her body was starting to get tired. her hormones where overwhelming her due to the pregnancy. Aria did not even feel the elevator stop she was lost in thought when it opened and immediately her eyes got caught by the gaze of a certain man.

he stood there looking back at her with a shocked look on his face. Aria froze when she saw him, she had already relaxed herself thinking she wouldn't be seeing him today and somehow that made her heart at ease, but now Devon was standing at the entrance of the elevator with people behind him or what she assumed where body guards all dressed in black suits . her throat went dry like the desert. all she could do was blink her eyes at him. Aria even forgot how to breath, his presence, his eyes his aura all made her forget she was human.

he watched her for moment as if she where a TV with a weird show on it. oh but how weird was Aria and her life right now. "you?????" he said looking surprised. she did not respond. "what are you doing. .....why are you here?" was he really never planning to see her again she asked herself , she wondered what his reaction would be if she told him the reason why she was here .

"i ....i ....came to.....i just.....i ....wanted ....to ...talk...to you about-"

"about what" he cut her off. Aria felt scared by his voice , was he in a bad mood or something or did he just hate seeing her here. she questioned whether she should tell him or not. by the look in his eyes he looked like he would strangle her if she said so, why did he look scary right now what happened to the man who saved her that night, the man who made love to her to passionately was he the same as this man in front of her or did he just have the ability to change like a transformer or something. she subconsciously stepped back when he walked into the elevator. "well....its-" Aria looked at the people following behind him. this was an awkward time to discuss the possibility of changing someone's life from normal to what she concluded to be chaos. like opening the box of Pandora and all the mysteries raining on them . "i ...want to talk to you in...private....its important she added just to make sure.

Devon looked back at the men behind him and gestured them to leave the elevator. they where hesitant at first " are you sure sir" they asked he did not respond to them his eyes where on Aria surveying her from head to toe. the men understood his silence and walked out . Devon pushed the up button to the highest floor of the building. he did not take them to the floor where his penthouse was, Aria figured it was because he didn't want that rude lady to see him with her.

"speak!!!" he said looking down on her.

Aria had been tired for a long time and she felt dizzy and fatigued her head stared to spin a little , she swayed and almost hit the ground but he was fast and cached her. "i am sorry" she pulled herself from him and moved back. he did not say anything. the silence in the elevator was thick it could slice through a wall. "Mr Presley...." she called his name. he looked at her, "a month ago, you saved me that night....and ........................we, you and i ....we ". who knew words could be this heavy to let out. her tongue felt so heavy just to say the words that would probably change his life forever. he looked into his eyes and the moment she mentioned that night his eye brows narrowed and he frowned. gathering all her strength "we made love and- "

"is that why you are here?? because you and i had s*x?? he cut her off again. " you came here to remind me that we slept together??? ...or there is more" he asked. "yes Mr Presley there is more something happened between us that night and-" Aria was cut mid sentence again by the sound of laughter echoing in the elevator. Devon was laughing . "us??? something happened ?? little girl, don't tell me you came all the way here just to tell me that. don't tell me you believe that there was a special connection between us and you came here realising you where in love with me...whatever happened between us was just s*x okay nothing more nothing less"

Aria got angry hearing his words, did he think she was in love or obsessed with him. and that's why she came here. "No!!! i am not in love with you or interested in you i only came here to tell you on that night i- "

"I've seen this type before, don't you know how one nigh stands work??? was the money i left not enough?? do you- "

"i am pregnant!!!!!" she yelled at him, hearing him say all things about her felt like she was being suffocated and pressured till she exploded.

the minute she said that the elevator door opened. They where at the highest floor. he eyes grew for a second in shock by what Aria said. he looked as though time had stopped. Aria was breathing heavily while Devon looked like oxygen had run out of his body. this was the first time she got to see Devon's side and it was saddening. "what????" he asked her. there was no point in keeping quiet Aria had already said it. "i am pregnant. you and i.... i am pregnant Mr Presley....with your child"

he grabbed her hands tightly and pulled her out of the elevator, Aria felt her hands sting in pain a little. she tried pulling them away but he was just too strong . " what kind of nonsense are you saying" he let go and stood in front of her angrily it scared Aria but she chose to hold her ground and stand tall too. "i said i am pregnant."

"who put you up to this??....are you working with my enemies, did my friends send you as a prank or a sick joke, who put you up to this??...WHO!!!!!"

Aria stepped backwards " no one ...you and i made love-"

"stop talking !!! we did not make love we had s*x, okay ....there is a big difference between making love and having sex...what happened that night was not love so stop speaking nonsense little girl"

"i am not a little girl..and don't you dare call me one, whatever you choose to call it i don't care the fact is that you and i what we did lead to this"

"did you find out i am wealthy and decided to come and take advantage of the fact that i was good to you, do you really think you can fool me like that, that's the thing with uneducated middle class girls who think they can take advantage of me, you are not the first lair to do this prank, so why don't you go back to wherever you came from-"

*paaaaaaa, he did not finish his sentence when Aria slapped him across the face "you have no right to talk about me like that...you don't know anything about me. " her chest was rising and falling Aria was enraged. " i am not after your pathetic money" .
