“Good morning pretty,” Rays handsome face woke me up the next day morning, I smiled at him sheepishly.
“Breakfast for a pretty lady,” he said pulling a tray from the table by the side of the bed, it was a breakfast of bacon and eggs. I pulled the covers over my chest so I could sit down and dig in. Damn it felt like I hadn’t had anything in a week.
“OMG!” Ray looked at me in confusion, “What happened ?” He asked rushing to see if I had choked or something.
“What’s the time ?, I’m late for work,” I said trying to fly out of the bed.
“Relax.. You aren’t going to work, at least not yet, you’re yet to recover and you need as much rest as you can get. Now stop worrying your pretty head and dig in.”
“No, no, no, you don’t get, I have to be in work otherwise the threat have been getting from my superior will manifest, he’s gonna get me fired from my department.” I said trying to get up again.
“What power does your superior have compared to the owner of the company ?”
“What ? What are you saying ?”
“I spoke to your Dad ?”
“You what ?, OMG! I’m doomed.”
“Relax… He knows about your condition, so you can take the day off.”
“What did he say about you ?”
“Well if that’s what you’re worried about, I assured him I’m gonna sort out everything.”
“Oooh.. Okay.”
“Now stop worrying and eat.” I nodded and went back to eating my food. He left the room after I was done, so I decided to freshen up, walking into the bathroom, I was surprised to find out he had drawn a warm bath for me,”awwwwn” I thought to myself, no one has ever gone to such length for me.
The air was filled with the sweet scent of bubbles, without hesitation I walked into the tub and just let myself relax.
After a long bath, the problem of what to wear came up, however to my surprise there was a complete set of clothing waiting for me on the bed, all with tags. From panties, to bra, to a simple summer gown. How on earth is he so thoughtful ?
There were shopping bags by the side of the bed, I picked them up and the sight of the company name on the bag almost knocked the hell out of me.
“Th.. thi.. this..” I can’t even form a correct sentence anymore.
Only the rich of the richest can afford the clothing from this designer company, and not just that, there’s always a waiting period. How did he get it in less than 12 hours ?
I emptied the content of the bag, and there was more clothing in it, including jewelry.
“These are way too much,” I said to no one in particular.
I sat on the bed not sure about what to do, well I’ll just wear one and tell him to send the rest back, I liked him way before I knew he was rich. He doesn’t have to do all of these to sway me.
I wore the summer gown and a sandal to go with it, after making sure I was looking okay, I took the shopping bags and went out in search of Ray.
“Here you’re, I was just about coming to see what was keeping you.” He said standing up from the couch, beaming with smiles.
“You didn’t have to get all of these, they are too expensive, I won’t take them.” I said, raising the shopping bags up to show him what I meant.
“Oooh, those aren’t expensive, you don’t have to worry about them. It’s all yours.”
“But..”
“Shhhh.. no but.” I sent him dagger stares immediately.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean ‘shhhh’, I meant..”
“You meant what ?” I ached my eyebrows, giving him the look that says I’m gonna kill you, dropping the bags I was holding I walked closer to him.
“I meant you look very beautiful,” he said shifting backwards.
For some reason every other motives I had while approaching him disappeared, his response made me blush like a fool.
When he saw I was calm he spoke up immediately,”There’s a beach not so far from here, will you like to take a stroll ?” He asked.
“A beach ? Just how far are we from civilization ?”
“I’ll leave you to figure that out baby girl,” he said, as he held my hands pulling me with him.
The sun was just coming out when we left the house, and it looks like the only house in the area when we left the gate, the house was on a hill, he held my hands and we both climbed down, the morning breeze blowing my hair.
We walked on a narrow path that led to the beach, it was a sight to behold, the sun glittering on the blue see was magnificent.
I immediately released my hands from his hold and ran down towards the waves, kicking off my sandals as I went. I sank my feet into the cool, wet sand, feeling the grains shift beneath me. With a carefree laugh, I began to make splashes in the shallow water, sending droplets flying in all directions.
Ray finally got to where I was standing far away from the water with both hands in his pocket, he had worn a white buttoned down shirt with about two buttons undone, showing off his bare chest, he had on a blue short knickers, he was looking like he was just pulled out from the television, he’s the definition of movie perfect.
“Come join me, don’t just stand there,” I said, stretching my hands towards him.
“No, it’s fine, I’ll just watch,”
“No way I’m letting you do that.” I said running towards him, pulling his hands to join me.
He laughed at my silliness as he finally gave in, kicking off his footwear to join me. We picked up rocks on the beach and decided to build a sand castle, with him everything was just so normal, that I just wish we didn’t have to go back, just the both of us here together.
His phone rang jolting me out of my thought.
He stood up, dusting the sand off his hand before picking the call, “yes,” I heard him say. The person on the other end must have said something which he replied to in the most authoritative voice have ever heard. “Do not cancel the meeting, I’ll be there in less than 30 minutes, send in my private jet immediately.”
Private jet ? What’s going on? why is he in a hurry to leave ?
He ended the call and ran his hand through his hair, “Ray..” I walked closer to him holding his hands. “Are you okay ? What’s going on ?”
“I’m sorry Nora, but we have to go now, something urgent just came up. We’ll go back to the villa to pick up your few things before leaving my private jet will be here to pick us up any moment from now.” He said, almost rushing his words without breathing.
We quickly went back to the villa and just like he said minutes after we walked into the house, the sound of the helicopter filled the air.
Ray got in first, and assisted me afterwards, he helped me with my sit belt and all.
All through the ride he didn’t say a word to me and was just fixed on his phone.
I couldn’t help but wondered what could have happened to warrant us going back all of a sudden.
It just didn’t make any sense to me.
