The baby contract

Chapter 59

Carla shrugged " I've been doing pretty good as you can see, how are you too? " She asked in return.

Amanda smiled " I'm good too, but heck, I missed you so much "

" I missed you more " Carla replied and they both laughed.

" Imagine how I felt when I heard about your wedding... " She meant to start a long conversation but Liam cut her off.

" I'm sorry Amanda, but we really have somewhere to be right now. You guys can talk later and catch up on good ol' times but right now, we really have to go " He said apologetically.

" Oh it's fine boss, we'll talk later, right Carla? " Amanda asked, sending Carla a motherly smile.

Carla smiled back " Of course, see ya! " She managed to say as Liam practically dragged her away.

" Bye! " Amanda shouted after her.

" Wait! " She snapped at Liam and he released his hold on her with an exhausted sigh.

" What is it, woman? " He asked wearily.

She glared at him " I am perfectly capable of walking, thank you "

" I'm sorry " Liam apologized.

She smiled up at him " Hey it's fine " and she snaked her hands around his arm. As usual, they were the object of attention as people stared at them openly.

They walked to the executive parking space where Ben stood, waiting. He looked awkward and scared maybe as Liam pinned his hard gaze on him.

He trembled slightly " Good... Good day sir " And he looked to Carla any help of some sort and Carla gave him a reassuring smile.

" We'll have a man to man talk later Ben, but right now, I have to go out "

Ben nodded automatically and opened the car door.

" And I'm driving so you can do whatever you want till I get back " Liam said and went over to the driver's side.

He got in and his butt had barely hit the seat when Carla started her interrogation.

" So where are we going and what are we going to do there? " She asked, a bright smile on her face.

Liam groaned and instead of replying, he reached over and did her seatbelt properly. Carla repeated her question, louder this time.

Liam grunted " I thought I already told you "

She started to argue " But you didn't... "

Liam cut in " I explained everything Carla, SIGHTSEEING, I did say that "

" Oh " That was the only reply she gave and she sat back on the seat, letting the air blow her hair.

The ride took about twenty minutes and Carla enjoyed every bit of it. He stopped the car in front of a chapel, church or whatever. Then he came to open the door for her. She sent him a smile of gratitude as he helped her down.

" What's this place? " She breathed out in admiration.

He came up beside her " It's called Vera's Temple "

" Wow, it's beautiful " She took in the tall building, it looked sacred and at the same time, a sight for tourist attraction.

" Yeah " He agreed

" Why did you bring me here? " She asked, glancing sideways at his profile.

He shrugged " This was the first place on my mind when you told me the news, I don't know why the thought came to me "

" I'm glad you brought me here, it's indeed a beautiful sight " She said softly, her voice trembling slightly.

" Always at your service ma'am " He teased and gave her a mocking bow.

She laughed and walked some steps ahead of him, taking in everything the beautiful building had to offer. She turned to a walkway that read ' OUR LADY ' and got curious. She saw a few ladies at the entrance of the doorway. She started walking in their direction.

" Not that way! " Liam shouted from behind her.

She looked back to regard him and she raised her eyebrows quizzically " What? "

He smirked " You don't belong there anymore "

She frowned " Why? What do you mean? "

He grinned at her wolfishly " It's for virgins only and you don't belong in there anymore, do you? "

She blushed furiously " Oh " and turned away.

Liam laughed behind her " You don't don't to be embarrassed, Bella "

" Oh shut up " She snapped and turned to glare at him. He saw that her cheeks were a bright shade of pink.

He laughed some more and followed her. Carla got her fill of the temple or whatever it was that Liam had called it. For the first time in a long time, she prayed, really prayed. She prayed for her unborn child, her future and Liam. She enjoyed being at the sacred temple that it was getting dark when Liam was finally able to convince her that they should leave.

" Liam, I would love to come here again... " She said, smiling.

" Request granted " He agreed instantly, when all he wanted to do was to haul her in the car and take her home because it was getting pretty dark.

" When our child is born " She completed her sentence.

He stopped and stared into her eyes " You would really like that? " He asked softly.

She nodded " Of course "

" Then your wish is granted " He smiled down at her.

" Come on " He said, clasping her hand in his and they walked to the car.

" Thank you " She said softly when they were in the car.

" For? " He asked, glancing sideways at her.

" For bringing me here " She replied and placed her hands on his thighs.

" You deserve it, baby " He said and sent her a welcoming smile.
