The Girl He Craves novel (Sophie and Aiden) novel Chapter 92

I knew better than to get on his nerves when he was that

irritated.

At least I’m relieved I wasn’t the cause of his anger this time. If I was, then why would he want to have lunch with me?

When Mitch drives away onto the main road, Aiden’s eyes suddenly fall to my knees.

His eyes stare hard on my fingers clutching the tissue to my knees.

His brows knot into a frown.

“What’s wrong with your knee?” He questioned.

“Nothing, just a scratch. Seriously I’m okay.” I assured him. when his eyes deepened with raw concern.

Suddenly his hand is on the hand I had on my knee and he pries it away to get a better look at my knee.

“It’s still bleeding.” He grumbles, almost as if mad that I got a scratch.

“It’s fine.” I murmured.

He shook his head and in a rapid move had my leg on his lap. He didn’t even care that I had heels on and could poten- tially ruin his expensive pants.

“Aiden!” I gasped.

“Shut up.” He grumbles, tearing a piece of tissue and swatting my hand away from my knee.

“Mitch take us to the nearest store to get some bandaids and rubbing alcohol,” Aiden demanded.

“Yes sir,” Mitch said and swang on another road.

I shook my head. “You really didn’t have to Aiden. It’s not a big deal. The scratch isn’t even bleeding much-

“You talk way too much Sophie. presses the tissue to my scratch.

Aiden grumbles and

I let out a huff, crossing my arms, annoyed as hell know- ing he wouldn’t let up. There was no way I’d win this so it would be best if I just shut up and let him do what he wanted.

When we pulled up to the grocery store a good ten min- utes or so later, Aiden is the only one who actually goes inside the store. He ordered me to stay inside the Suv and insisted that I was better off sitting than walking.

He must think that little scratch had made me immobile.

I rolled my eyes and watch him disappear inside the store.

“Your boss is such a prick Mitch.” I said, glaring at the store he disappeared inside of.

I wanted some chips but my pride would not allow me to tell him to buy them for me. And seeing as he would perhaps make a fuss if he sees me enter the store, there really was no way I can get my chips in peace.

I can survive without chips.

We were going for lunch anyway…

Well hopefully we still were. I fear he’d think I was too ‘in- jured’ to have lunch.

Mitch chuckles lightly. “I don’t know Miss. Mr. Xavier has never cared for another woman the way he does for you.”

His words had me haling back.

Sophie you better not make Aiden’s chauffeur get you to crack those walls around your heart. You better seal them right up.

“I wasn’t sure which rubbing alcohol was the best so I took three different brands,” Aiden said as he hopped back

into the car.

He closed the door and shift through the stuff he bought. He takes out a small bag of cotton balls and the three rubbing alcohol bottles.

I would’ve laughed at his questions if my heart was not currently throbbing at his show of raw concern.

“I’m okay Aiden. It just stung a little.” I said softly and he

sighed in relief.

“Don’t scare me like that Sophie,” He whispered.

My brows furrowed. Did this little scratch really have him so concerned?

About fifteen minutes later Mitch pulled up beside a very expensive restaurant.

My eyes widen.

“Are we going to have lunch here?” I whispered.

I was not properly dressed for an expensive place like this, especially with a Dora The Explora bandage on my knee. The skirt I wore definitely was not covering that.

Also, this place was always filled with rich socialites and I clearly was not one of them. I would stick out like a sour thumb among these people. Like I was already just by sitting beside Aiden.

Aiden looks at me confused. “Yes?”

I winced. “This restaurant is very expensive Aiden. I don’t belong here.”

Aiden’s eyes turned stormy. “You’re worth more than that restaurant Sophie. Now keep that pretty mouth shut before I shut it myself.”

He opened the door. “We’ll be back in thirty Mitch. If you want you can drive around the block.” Aiden said while get- ting down.

I pushed closer to the door, gnawing on my lips and got. out when Aiden shot me a stare that told me to get the fuck out or else he’ll force me out himself.

Coming to stand beside him, he closed the door while I fixed my blouse and skirt to look more presentable.

I froze when I felt his arm sling around my waist and pull me close. “You’ll still be the most beautiful woman in that restaurant even if you were in rags. Now come on mama bear, let’s get you fed.”
