Cold Showers — Chapter 48

Jayda could not help with the smile that took over her face when she stared at herself in the mirror. The red dress Sebastian bought for her fitted her perfectly and with the little makeup she applied, she looked very beautiful, like Cinderella, waiting for her Prince Charming to arrive so they can proceed to the event.

Jayda had no doubt she looked like a bag of money. She had an expensive dress, jewellery, and shoes on.

But she was a little bit nervous. Never had she attended any charity event filled with only billionaires in the room. Zach had invited her on so many occasions when they were still dating but she would decline, using work as an excuse.

Jayda heaved a sigh, reached for her clutch which had her phone, credit card and a keycard to her apartment. Then she made her way to the living room to wait for Sebastian.

Before she could take a seat to relax a little, the doorbell rang. She went to answer it and came face to face with the most handsome man in the world. Her baby Daddy, her very own 'Sebby'. He was in his dark tailored suit, he had smiles on his face and was holding a bouquet of red roses.

Sebastian was blown away by the gorgeous angel who stood before him. He had asked Lilian for her clothes and shoe size before picking the outfit for her. Seb knew all the men at the event would have a hard time keeping their eyes off her but he will be by her side all through and give them the necessary glare they deserve, to make them understand that she was only his.

"Hi." Jayda smiled, bringing Seb out of his thoughts.

Sebastian closed the gap between them. He caressed her right cheek.

"You're the most beautiful woman I've ever laid my eyes on." He said sincerely as he looked into her eyes.

Jayda blushed, "Thank you."

He kissed her cheek then handed her the roses. Sebastian assisted her in arranging the rose in an empty vase and soon enough they were good to go.

They made their way to Seb's Car that was parked right outside her apartment. He helped her settle in the front passenger seat and then he made his way to the Driver's seat.

"You really have such a great taste. Thanks for the dress and my Jewellery, I love them." Jayda said.

Sebastian smiled, he wasn't used to people thanking him for everything and this woman right here, the person he was crazy about, the mother of his firstborn and future kids thanked him for every little thing.

"You're welcome, babe. I'm glad you like them." He reached for one of her hands with his free ones and gave it a light squeeze.

"I hope our little bean has not been naughty in there." He asked, took a glance at her, before returning his attention back to the road.

Jayda chuckled, she could see the love and adoration in his eyes when he spoke about their baby.

"It's still tiny so I can't say much. I guess he or she is well behaved but has no mercy when it comes to my morning sickness."

Sebastian smiled sadly, he wished he could be there for her during her morning sickness. He had no problem asking her to move in with him but he didn't want to scare her away. He had an idea of how painful morning sickness could be and how much women had to endure during pregnancy.

He was 9 when his mother gave birth to his twin sisters, an age wise enough to understand what was going on. But he was determined to be there for Jayda as much as he could.

Sebastian stopped the car in front of the hall where the event was taking place, he passed the keys to the valet and went to the other side to open the door for Jayda.

He saw the look of surprise on Jayda's face. She was expecting the press to be all over the place, taking pictures here and there but the entrance was awfully calm except for guests walking in and out of the hall

"The event is a private one," Sebastian explained. Jay nodded in relief. She was not always her best whenever she was around the media.

With his hand on her lower back, Sebastian ushered her into the hall. It was just as she had pictured it to be. Big, expensive decorations, high chandelier lights, waiters walking around with food and drinks, some of the guests were on their feet in different corners of the hall, trying to mingle while some were seated, chatting away.

"I can feel peoples' eyes on me. Is anything wrong with my dress?" Jayda stopped in her tracks and asked Sebastian.

He smiled, "Nothing is wrong with your dress, dear. You look so beautiful that people are finding it difficult to take their eyes off you."

She sighed in relief. "I got scared for a while. I thought something was wrong with my outfit."

Sebastian kissed her cheek and they continued to make their way through the guests.

"Sebastiano" A very familiar voice called.

"Uncle Ariche." He hugged his father's friend.

"It's so good to see you again, Son. How are you?" He asked as soon as Sebastian pulled away from the hug.

"I'm fine, Uncle."

"Meet Jayda, The Queen of my heart" He introduced her to him.

"Good evening, Sir." Jayda stretched out her hand for a shake.

Uncle Ariche gracefully shook her hands and placed a polite kiss on it.

"It's so nice to meet you, dear." The old man smiled.

"Same here," Jay responded

Sebastian wrapped his arms possessively around Jayda's waist.

"So does that mean I should be expecting a wedding invitation from you two very soon?" He asked the romantic duo.

"That's the goal Uncle and hopefully, you will receive one from us soonest," Sebastian replied while Jayda tried to hide her blush.

Seb introduced Jayda to some of his business partners, they ate, drank and mingled. Sebastian made sure Jayda cleared her plate and stayed hydrated.
