Around thirty minutes past five Bram ordered Jonas and Chantal to take me to the place where his mom booked for us. My eyes widened when our SUV entered the famous farm here in Batangas. I had seen this farm on social media accounts of many celebrities. This was known for its wellness program. I could not believe that we would be staying here for a night.
Chantal said that this was booked last minute by Mama Credence’s personal assistant. We would be staying in the unit that was named after our country’s national tree. When everything was settled Jonas went back to the circuit to wait for Bram.
“Where are you staying Chantal?” I asked her as I opened my small luggage.
“We are also staying here, Madam,” Chantal answered me, “In a different room.”
“Glad to hear that,” I told her, “I’m just going to take a shower, okay?”
“I’ll wait by the bathroom door, Madam,” Chantal said to me, “Just tell me if you need anything.”
“Thank you,” I told her and walked inside the bathroom.
The bathtub looked inviting but I badly needed a shower because I felt like my dress was sticking to my skin. There was one fan in our tent but the air that was coming out of it was also hot. I removed my clothes and took a shower. I was wearing my underwear under my robe when I got out.
“Do you need anything, Madam?” Chantal asked when she saw me.
“I’m good Chantal,” I answered her, “I’m still full from the take out food that we ate in the car.”
“Okay, Madam,” Chantal responded, “Please call me on my cellphone if you need anything. I’ll just be in my room.”
“Chantal?” I called her name when I remembered something, “I have you as my bodyguard but who will protect Bram.”
“Sir Bram is always surrounded by his security when he is out of the house, Madam,” she walked back to me from the door.
“Really?” I asked, surprised, “Are they like under cover or something?”
Chantal just smiled at me and bowed her head, “Have a good night, Madam.”
“You too and thank you,” I told her as I watched her leave our room.
I wore my emerald green nightgown and robe then blow dried my hair. I checked the time on my phone and it showed eight in the evening. I placed it on the right side of the bed and laid down. I could not help but sigh when I placed my head on the pillow and covered myself with the comforter. After a long day this kind of bed felt heavenly.
The ringing of my phone woke me up and the caller ID showed Bram. He said that he was now entering the vicinity of the resort. After we hung up I brushed my hair, got my toothbrush and brushed my teeth. I opened the door for him and he looked exhausted. His hair was disheveled. He was wearing a plain white shirt, sweat pants, and sneakers.
I watched as he sat on the sofa at the foot of the bed. He removed his shoes and socks. Then he laid down on the sofa and closed his eyes. I tiptoed towards the right side of the bed so I would not wake him up but he grabbed me from the waist. I suppressed my scream by covering my mouth with my left hand. Bram moved back a little and gave me space to sit.
He used his right arm as a pillow and hugged my waist with his left, “I missed you,” he whispered with eyes closed.
I looked at him and smiled, “I missed you too.”
He opened his eyes and we stared at each other. He locked his left hand with my right and said, “I am absolutely knackered.”
My eyebrows met in the middle. I did not know what he meant by what he just said, “What do you mean by knackered?”
He answered me with a small smile, “It’s a British way of saying, I’m very tired.”
“Oh, okay,” I nodded, “I did not know that.”
Bram used his intense gaze at me. Like he was reading my mind. To distract him, I gave him a faint smile and asked, “Are you allowed to take a shower?”
“Do you want to join me?” he said without blinking.
We stared at each other for a moment, “I already showered, Bram.”
“Nothing bad will happen when you shower again,” Bram reasoned.
I rolled my eyes at him, “It might be cold for me, my body has adjusted to the room temperature already.” Bram sat up and carried me. I had no choice but to hug his neck.
We made love under the spray of warm water. He pinned me to the wall and I wrapped my legs around him. I thought he was very tired but his every thrust was so powerful that it made me reach my climax early. I could not help but moan with pleasure. Then seconds after I felt Bram’s warm release on me.
We were now on the bed facing each other. Our only source of light was coming from the bathroom. Bram was tracing the visible veins on my wrist, “You know, you could win a sleeping contest,” I told him.
He smiled and asked, “Why?”
“You could sleep quickly, not everyone can do that,” I explained to him, “It will take thirty minutes or an hour for me to fall asleep.”
“Not after a race,” he said, “It will take a while for me to sleep after a race.”
“Really?” I asked him, “Why?”
He did not answer me, instead he made me face the direction of the door so he could hug me from the back. Then he kissed the right side of my neck, “I saw you talking to Connor earlier.”
I stiffened for a moment, “Bram, I could not just ignore him. That would be rude, and he’s your friend.”
“Well, he had you investigated,” Bram told me, “Should I still consider him as a friend?”
I closed my eyes and gave out a heavy sigh, “I’m sorry that I made your life complicated.”
“You made a lot of changes in my life,” Bram replied, “Making it complicated is not one of them.”
