Theirs To Want

5. Ayden

The next day, after work, I decided to spend some time with Alias and Jesslyn. I really wanted to see my beautiful niece, Jailani. She was so beautiful. She favored my brother with her nose, but the rest of her was her mother. Big beautiful eyes and curly, thick brown hair. Alias was going to have his hands full dealing with her once she became a teenager.

"What's going on with you?" Alias asked me.

I shook my head as I played with Jailani.

"Nothing." I told him. "I just got a lot on my mind."

"Like what?"

I glanced at him and shrugged.

"I know. I mean, I want a family as well."

I glanced over at Alias, who was just staring at me with a serious expression on his face.

"You better wait until Lani is older."

I squinted my eyes at him.

"Why? Why can't our kids just grow up together?"

Alias sighed as he got up from his chair and walked over to me, taking Jailani from my hands.

"You know why."

"Are we really doing this?"

Jesslyn walked over to us with three cups of cold blood from the refrigerator.

"No, we're not doing this." Jesslyn glared at her husband before she looked at me with a soft look. "Are you planning on having one with Natalie?"

I shrugged.

"I think so." I told her.

"Hmph." Alias sat back down with his baby. "Whatever."

"Alias." Jesslyn said his name. "Stop it."

Alias and her glared at each other for a minute before he went to his phone. The doorbell rang and Jesslyn smiled at me before she turned and walked off. We heard the front door open and I heard Natalie's voice. Jesslyn and Natalie walked in and she stood in between us. She looked at me and gave me a smile, but I didn't return it. I remembered everything she said last night.

"What Natalie?" Alias asked.

"Are you guys arguing again?" She asked. "I need you guys attention for a minute."

"What?" I asked her.

She glanced at me and rolled her eyes.

"So, I was wondering if I can ask you guys a favor?" She asked.

"If it's money, then no." Alias told her.

"Alias, shut up." Jesslyn told her husband.

Alias sat back in his chair and glanced at Natalie.

"What is it?" He asked.

"I need you to borrow you guys' time today." Natalie continued. "Um, I have to go to Lifestyles studio with my manager to convince Bryce to book with me. However, I can't do it without you two."

"Why? He turned you down, huh?"

Natalie glanced over at him and he smirked.

"Why did he turn you down, Nat?" I asked, getting annoyed.

She turned to me and sighed.

"Because, he said my life is boring." She admitted.

"Well, it is." Alias snickered.

"f**k you, Alias."

Jesslyn grabbed Jailani from her husband's hands and glared at him.

"Why do you need the guys, Nat?" Jesslyn asked.

"There's one way I could get a photoshoot from Bryce. He's looking for two billionaires at the moment and I told them that I.... Knew... Alias and Ayden."

"Why would you f*****g do that?" Alias asked her.

"Alias, listen. I really want to work with them, but they said that because I don't have a family of my own."

"Maybe you need to. Have a baby with my brother since you both already got plans."

Natalie smacked her lips and sighed.

"Alias, please?"

"What exactly does this Bryce guy want?" I asked her.

"He wants to do a photoshoot with you two together." Natalie told us.

"f**k no." Alias told her, gettting up from his chair.

Jesslyn chuckled.

"Are you serious?" I asked her.

"Ayden, please?" Natalie begged me. "I really want this contract, but I need you two to help me."

"No, I'm doing a f*****g photoshoot." Alias told her. "Ayden can go. I mean, he is your man and all. I'm not doing it."

Alias turned and tried to walk out the door, but Jesslyn blocked him in.

"Are you serious?" Alias asked her.

"When do you need them by?"

In three hours." Natalie said.

"We need to talk." I told her as I got off the couch.

I walked towards the door and Jesslyn let Natalie and I through. We walked down the stairs and headed to the front door. I opened it and Natalie walked out first. I shut the door behind us and I folded my arms over my chest. She turned and looked at me before glancing in another direction.

"So, you want me to help you get this job?" I asked her. "I thought we weren't nothing here?"

"Ayden, you're the one that said you were done." She told me.

"You really want to go there?"

"You did."

"Because I wasn't just going to be your f*****g friend with benefits. What the f**k did you expect, Nat?"

"Well, I told him that you and I were still messing around. So, he wants you and your brother to come."

I shook my head at her and looked back to the house.

"Ayden, please do this for me." She begged. "I really want this job."

"And I really want a family. You give me your word about that and I'll be that sexy ass billionaire you need."

She squinted her eyes at me and I smirked.

"Ugh, fine." She agreed. "But, I get you use you however long I need you."

"Great. As long as I can have it my way."

She nodded her head.

"Fine." She agreed again.

The front door opened up and Alias stepped out.

"We'll meet you there." He told us.

Both Natalie and I glanced at him and he seemed a little mad.

"What did she say?" I asked him. "No more s*x?"

Alias glared at me and I chuckled.

"Hurry up." Alias told me.

I glanced at Natalie before I walked back to the house. She turned and rushed to her car. Once I stepped in the house, I closed the door and turned around. Alias was already heading up the stairs and I followed him. Now, all we had to do was look our best. Sighing, we headed into his room and I looked at his suits as I picked out my outfit. Knowing how photoshoots went, we were going to havc to dress to impress.

"Red and black suit?" Alias asked me.

"Do you have a black and silver?" I asked.

"Yeah."

He walked over to the end of his closet and handed me the suit. I took it from along with a towel and wash cloth.

Go first." He told me.

I turned and walked out of the closet, then headed straight to the bathroom.

"Oh my god.." Jesslyn said as soon as Alias and I walked down the stairs.

She looked from me to her husband.

"You're about to kill that photoshoot." She smiled at us. "We got an hour to get there. Are you guys ready?"

"Whatever." Alias told her.

She raised her eyebrow at Alias, who couldn't help, but to crack a smile.

"You look really good, Ayden." Jesslyn told me.

"Thanks." I sighed.

She grabbed the keys for one of Alias' car and Alias snatched them from her.

"Where are you going?" Alias asked her.

"To the photoshoot." She told him. "I want to see this."

She stood on her tippy-toes and kissed him before she turned and walked to the front door.

"Let's go, guys." She told us.

Alias leaned closer to me and growled.

"You f*****g owe me for this." He whispered.

He acted like I wanted to go. Shaking my head, the both of us walked out of the house with a smiling Jesslyn behind us.
