We get on the plane and are now on our way to the Netherlands, our final destination until we go back to New York
our last two days of travel,
"You hungry?" Aaron asks after the plane takes off
"A little," I say quietly
I'm still a little tired, we visited so many different tourist attractions and did so much stuff that I feel slightly drained,
I've been getting more tired recently, and I don't know whether it's to blame for all this traveling and my sleep schedule is out of wack
Or....it's cus of Aaron.
Or maybe it's the fact that he told me he's going to get me a frog when we get back to New York...
I barely slept a wink.
"Alright what do you want?" He asks standing up and sitting next to me
I lean on his shoulder and close my eyes
"Do they have fruit or something light on the stomach?" I asked closing my eyes and already feeling myself falling asleep near his warm presence,
I feel him nodding
"Get her a fruit platter now" he orders someone
My eyes shoot open and I frown at Aaron
He sighs "please" he adds as he looks at the flight attendant before she leaves with a nod
"See was that so hard?" I smile
He rolls his eyes and places my head back on his shoulder
"Why are you so sleepy all the time sunshine?" He asks stroking my hair
I shrug
"Are you okay? You feel alright?" He asks bringing my chin to look up at him
I nod slowly "I'm fine I think it's all the different time differences getting to me or something, and I usually struggle to fall asleep because of my insomnia as you know, so I end up taking naps during the day or acting like a zombie from exhaustion"
"Are you sure? Because if you don't feel good we can go to the doctor" he frowns
I sigh "maybe it's my period...let me check my tracker"
"It says it's like a week away so it might just be hormones, I'm usually super sleepy on my period" I mumble
He hums "yeah I remember I'm pretty sure you slept through the whole day"
"Just promise me that if you don't feel good you'll tell me okay?" He says
I nod "Kay, where's the fruit?" I whisper
"Can someone get the damn fruit already?" Aaron says loudly
"Shhhh" I frown
"Sorry sunshine," he says kissing my temple
After the fruit finally comes I look at the array of different fruits in front of us with a big smile
"Thank you," I say to the flight attendant
______________
"I'm going to miss this vacation," I say as we get into our last ride to a hotel from the plane
"We can always travel another time" he chuckles as he grabs my hand and presses a kiss on them,
We won't when you find out what I'm hiding I think to myself
But I don't say anything, I just scoot closer to him and lean on his shoulder
I bring my phone out and take a quick selfie of us together, I also kiss his cheek and take another
"Smile" I whisper looking at him
He looks me in the eye and breaks out into a beautiful smile as he looks at me and I snap a few pictures,
He connects our lips and I laugh slightly while pressing the camera button
"What do you wanna do first?" He asks against my lips
"Can we take a nap?" I whisper
I feel his laughter against my lips which pulls a smile to my face
"You couldn't sleep on the plane?" He smirks
I shove his shoulder "shut up"
"It was your idea to enter the miles high club" he shrugs with a lingering smirk
"We already did on our first trip" I frown
"Yeah well then I guess we entered the club like four times then" he shrugs once again
I roll my eyes but can't contain a small laugh that escapes
"Fine you can take a nap and I'll reserve somewhere for us to eat," he says smiling
"Thank you" I kiss his cheek
He hums and looks me up and down
I frown "why are you looking at me like that?"
He places his fingers under my chin and smiles "because you're beautiful" he whispers against my lips
I blush and hide my face in his chest, I feel the movements of his laughter "you're adorable"
"Am not" I huff
"I love when you blush, stop hiding," he says cupping my cheeks
"You're the one adorable" I frown with a shrug
He raises a brow and tickles me "what was that?" He whispers
I laugh barely catching my breath "not adorable, y-you're-not-adorable"
"Mhm" he hums
______________
"You know what we should do?" I smile up at Aaron
"What?" He says putting a piece of hair behind my ear while smiling gently
"We should go apple picking! I saw on a list that it's a must to do while here" I grin
He nods looking quite amused "and what will we do with said apples? You are aware we're leaving in two days right?"
I knit my brows together and think, he does have a point, what the heck are we gonna do with that many apples?
"We can give the apples to the homeless, or drop them off at a shelter," I say with puppy dog eyes
"Alright that's a good idea" he nods kissing my forehead
"So we can go?" I beam
"Yes, just for that smile alone we'll go" he points to my mouth as he traces my lips gently
_____________
"Okay I think we have enough apples" Aaron chuckles looking down at the two big baskets he's carrying of apples
I frown "but it's so fun picking them"
He pecks my pout
"Did you see how cute the pictures turned out of us" I grin looking at the pictures of us we took while apple picking
He smirks "so cute" he teases
"Let's go" he kisses my cheek
I sigh "fine" I try grabbing one of the baskets but Aaron gives me an annoyed look and grabs the basket back
"You're not carrying anything," he says
I walk beside him and try hiding my smile between my teeth,
We drive around the area and I see a couple of homeless people by a side street
Aaron stops me before I open the car door
I roll my eyes and cross my arms over my chest and wait while he walks to my side and opens the door
"You're a little annoying you know that?" I say grabbing his hand
He hums and grips my chin "and you're a little brat"
I smirk a little and look him up and down
He sighs and pinches in between his brows with his finger
"You are aware I didn't say that to turn you on right?" He runs his tongue along his teeth
I tilt my head and watch him while I'm batting my eyelashes,
He grips my cheeks with one hand bringing my face closer
"Stop looking at me like that or else," he said lowly
I smile innocently and peck his lips and walk over to the homeless with the basket of apples along with a bag of water and other things we got at the market after apple picking,
"Tease" I hear Aaron mumble under his breath behind me
We began passing out stuff to them
"Thank you," A young girl says
I smile and then notice her bump
"Are you...pregnant?" I ask quietly looking at the young girl
She nods "seven months" she rubs her stomach
Dear Lord...this poor girl looks barely old enough for a license,
"Are you able to get scans and stuff done for the baby?" I ask
She swallows and looks down
"No...my family kicked me out four months ago with nothing but a bag of my belongings and my boyfriend broke up with me, I can barely take care of myself and I don't have insurance nor the money for the doctor" she wipes her tears
"Is it possible for you to go to a shelter at least for warmth?" I ask with concern
"They're always so crowded and there's not enough room by the time I get there" she shakes her head and brings the blanket and bag of food I gave her close to her
"I'll be right back," I say softly before walking to Aaron
I tap him on the shoulder and he immediately knits his brows at my expression "you okay?"
I sigh "there's a pregnant girl over there...she's seven months along with nowhere to go and she can't even pay for doctor visits to make sure the baby is healthy"
His expression immediately softens, he looks over to where I'm pointing then closes his eyes
"Jesus she looks so young" he shakes his head
I nod "her being pregnant is making me worry Aaron...what if something is wrong with the baby because of the fact she doesn't eat a lot?"
"Hey it's okay...we can go get her checked out at the doctor okay?" He caresses my chin
I stare at Aaron in absolute adoration, it's crazy how not long ago he didn't even spare a second glance at the homeless but now he's offering to help them
I nod "okay" I whisper
"Sunshine you're shaking," he says gently
"I'm fine...I just feel bad" I say quietly
He nods and caresses my face "how about we go take that girl to get checked out then we can figure out how to help the rest a little more"
I hug Aaron tightly and I feel him sigh into my hair
"Come on," he says quietly taking my hand
We give the rest of the homeless in this area the things we got for them, then we head back to the pregnant girl
"Come with us, we're going to take you to the doctor to make sure your baby is okay," Aaron says to the girl
The Girls eyes go wide and she shakes her head "I don't have money to pay for an appointment"
"Don't worry about that I'll handle it we just need to make sure you and your child are okay" he leads her to the rental
"I'm Vanessa by the way, and that's Aaron" I smile at the girl when she gets in the car
She smiles with teary eyes "I'm Victoria" she said quietly
She looked very young and had black hair to her waist and beautiful light brown eyes
"How old are you Victoria?" Aaron asks while he drives to the doctor
"I just turned 17 a couple of weeks ago," she says looking down at her feet
I glance at Aaron and I see him shaking his head and I barely heard him say 'Jesus Christ' under his breath
I grab his hand and I feel him squeeze
I take a deep breath in and out,
I can't believe her parents kicked her out when she was sixteen...
That's a damn child,
And the fact she's pregnant with a child and has to go through that alone is heartbreaking
Throughout the 25-minute drive to the doctor, Victoria stays quiet and fiddles with her fingers and I see her lip quivering
"Are you okay?" I say quietly as we get out of the car
"I haven't been to the doctor in so long...what if something is wrong with the baby" she cry's
I hug her "it will be okay"
We sit in the waiting room and then we finally hear them call her name
'Victoria' a nurse says
She stands up and looks at me "can you come with me" She says quietly
I look at Aaron and he kisses my cheek and gestures for me to go with her
"Of course" I smile and squeeze Aaron's hand before following Victoria and the nurse
"Alright Victoria, the gentleman outside told me you haven't had any scans or checkups in a while, so firstly I want to make sure you are okay and healthy then we will check on your baby, sound good with you?" She says looking over a clipboard
Victoria nods and keeps quiet
after a bunch of tests and blood samples and whatnot, we finally get to the part where they check the baby
"Alrighty...do you know the gender?" She asks
Vitoria shakes her head "no"
The nurse puts gel on her belly and gets to checking "alright so it's looking like your baby is on the small side but seems everything else looks okay"
"Do you want to know the gender?" The nurse asks and Victoria nods
"Congratulations looks like you have a baby girl" the nurse smiles
Victoria's face beams "a girl?" She whispers with tears streaming
The nurse nods "I want you to fuel your body and drink a lot of water... it's very important that you feed yourself to keep both of you healthy alright?"
Victoria looks at me with wide eyes and I gently lay my hand on top of hers "thank you nurse is that all?"
"Yes you can schedule another appointment to check on the baby the last time before birth at the front desk" the nurse smiles
"Alright thank you so much" I smile and Victoria follows me back to the waiting room
It's been about two hours with all the testing and things they had to do
I hear Victoria sniffling behind me
"Hey, are you alright?" I frown
"No...how am I supposed to keep my baby healthy, I don't even have enough money for a full meal" she cries
"My boyfriend and I will take care of it...you just make sure to keep yourself safe alright?" I say hugging her
"Thank you" she whispers
We get to the waiting room and Aaron immediately walks over to us
"Everything alright?" He says looking over both of us
I smile and grab ahold of his hand "yes, the nurse said the baby is on the small side but as long as she keeps fueling her body she should be fine"
Aaron nods and walks over to the front desk, he pays and then schedules another appointment for her closer to her due date
"Just call me after her appointment and I'll take care of the bill," Aaron says
The woman nods and looks over Victoria and me but her eyes linger on Aaron's chest
But I can't blame her, you can see his muscles very nicely through his white button up
"Alright let's go," Aaron says to us
We start driving and Aaron's hand goes on my knee
"Thank you for everything," Victoria says quietly
Aaron nods "were going to go look for an apartment for you"
Victoria's eyes go wide "you can't do that! You barely know me"
Aaron chuckles "I'm a multi-billionaire so money isn't an issue for me, and you need a warm place to sleep and to keep yourself healthy for you and your baby"
____________
After a couple of hours, we get back to our hotel and immediately shower together and then get in bed
We spent the rest of the day buying food and things for Victoria, Aaron found a cute apartment for her that's walking distance of the doctor's office
She tried saying no and that it was too much but after convincing her she hugged us both and thanked us
Aaron also got her a phone and put both of our numbers in it along with the doctor's so if she needs anything from us she can call
"Tell me if this is crazy or not..." I start as I trace Aaron's chest while we lay cuddling in bed
I feel the vibrations of his laugh through my body "go on"
"I really want to start an organization or something to help the homeless...to get them back on their feet and help them start a new and better life for themselves," I say quietly
I feel Aaron pulling my flush against him and gripping my chin to look at him
He kisses me and against my lips, he says "that sounds like an amazing idea sunshine"
"Yeah?" I grin
"Yeah" he nods caressing my cheek
"You're so beautiful," he says looking over my face and tracing my features
I smile a little and look over Aaron's face "well so are you" I put our foreheads together
He hums and tightens his hold on me
"How about when we get back to New York we can go over ideas for this idea of yours" he smiles against my lips
"I like that idea" I whisper and snuggle myself close to him
_____________
We spent the next full day exploring the Netherlands and taking lots of pictures and enjoying our last day of our trip,
Before we left I wanted to say bye to Victoria,
We knock on her door and she opens it looking fresh and clean, she already looks a little better than she did yesterday
"We're flying back to New York so we wanted to say bye" I smile
She immediately hugs me "will you guys visit?"
"Of course," Aaron says
She hugs him "thank you for everything you don't know how much it means to me"
"No problem," he says nodding
We talk to her for a little bit longer than drive to the airport
When we sit on the plane and it takes off I take my seat belt off and go to straddle Aaron's lap
I cup his cheeks and connect our lips
"You're a good man Aaron" I whisper
He shrugs and cups the back of my head to deepen the kiss
"Some would disagree" he mumbles in between kisses
"Yeah well some are stupid" I frown
He smirks a little and connects our lips once again
