After going to the restroom, Aiden decided to peek his head into the economy cla.s.s. Looking through the curtains, he was stunned. The economy cla.s.s was more luxurious than in the first cla.s.s! He was about to take a step into the economy cla.s.s when an attendant stopped him. "I"m sorry," she said. "VIP only. Please do not disturb them. You are not welcome here. No one is allowed to come here, aside from those who were with Miss Kylie,""VIP?" Aiden muttered. "Isn"t this economy cla.s.s? How come it turns to VIP cla.s.s?"
The attendant smiled, but all she said was, "Please return to your seat, sir."
Aiden looked at the attendant and pulled out his wallet and asked her how much it would cost to get into the economy cla.s.s area, but the attendant calmly explained that, though there were empty seats, they had all been purchased. "No amount of money can change that. This had been all settled for Miss Kylie," she continued, "so please return to your seat. We are about to hit some waves. You are going to want to have your seatbelt on." The attendant warned him again.
Aiden sullenly returns to his seat. He doesn"t expect that the attendant would treat him that way. It wasn"t right in his thought, but he just obeyed what she said not to attract others attention.
As the waves. .h.i.t the side of the boat, Khloe"s sea sickness got worse and worse. It was so bad, in fact, that the people around her were embarra.s.sed. "You have never been sick in a car," Aiden scolded her, "so why are you sick now?!?!"
Before she could answer, she felt another round of vomit rise up in her throat, and she ran in the direction of the restroom. Unfortunately, it was occupied, so she rushed into economy cla.s.s in search of a washroom. Ignoring everyone around her, she pulled open the door and plunged her head into the toilet. She releases all the vomit, and she almost faints.
When Khloe got out, an attendant approached her and asked her if she was seasick and offered her some anti-nausea medicine. Gratefully, she took the bottle that was being offered to her and shook out two pills. Once she had swallowed them, she looked at the attendant and thanked her. She felt a little relieved after taking medicine.
"You"re welcome," she replied, "but this gentleman is the one that you need to thank actually." The attendant pointed at Aiden. "He was the one who found the medicine in the garbage."
Khloe was stunned. She glanced back and forth between the medicine bottle and Aiden, with disgust. Taking medicine from the garbage was not something that she typically did. She was about to scold Aiden, but then she saw Kylie. She quickly shifted her angry emotion into a pleasant smile that showed on her face. She can"t react too much in front of Kylie to show what happens between her and Aiden.
Playing it cool, she pretended nothing had happened and took Aiden"s hand to lead him back to first cla.s.s. Aiden didn"t say any words, too; instead, he led Khloe into her seat.
As they took their seat, Laurence asked her how she was feeling. Khloe was still a little green, but she showed her father the medicine bottle and said, "The attendant gave me this. Now I feel much better. I just need to take it easy, I think."
Aiden looked at the bottle nervously. Even though he was with Khloe, he always had secretly wanted to be with Kylie. He loved her, and he didn"t love Khloe. That was why he"d offered Kylie his seat in first cla.s.s, and that had been why he"d brought the medicine. It had been his originally, but he was desperate to make sure that no one found out.
Aiden had brought the medicine in case Kylie got sick and, when the waves came, he"d found a way to get them to her without anyone seeing it. Obviously, she had taken a few; the seal was broken. Once she had taken what she needed, though, she"d thrown the rest away, not realizing how complicated it would make things later.
Aiden had become nervous the instant he realized what he"d done by giving the attendant the medicine. Being afraid that Khloe would ask a bunch of questions, he said, "I am pretty tired." He sat back in his chair and quickly closed his eyes.
Seeing how pale Khloe"s face was, Laurence was worried. He handed her a cup of warm water and said, "Khloe, have some water, and then take a rest."
"Dad," Khloe replied, "I am fine. I can work. I need to face some of the negative things that people are saying about me on social media."
Khloe was just opening her computer when the anti-nausea medication kicked in, and she suddenly felt very tired. She leaned on Aidens"s arms and closed her eyes. She was just about asleep when her eyes popped open. She suddenly realized that she hadn"t taken her Morning After Pill after her cousin, Ken, had raped her.
I hope that this is seasickness, Khloe thought to herself, and not a pregnancy…
Khloe felt her heart rate begin to increase. Aiden sensed that something was wrong with Khloe. He opened his eyes and looked at her. "Khloe," he wondered, "are you alright?"
Khloe frowned. "It was a bad dream," she lied, "and nothing more. I dreamt that you dumped me and went to be with Kylie."
"Khloe, there"s no need to worry," Laurence laughed, "Aiden has promised to marry you, so he will. And you need to recover as soon as possible so that you can get pregnant as soon as possible."
What Laurence said made Khloe even more frightened than before. She was so scared that her body was shaking, and she clung to Aiden.
Aiden believed that she was afraid that he would dump her, so he comforted her by patting her on the back and saying nice things to her.
