Rena's pov
I felt so good for the rest of the day at work, knowing that Raymond now knows exactly how I think of him, and he also consented to it, the best day of my life.
I grabbed my phone and messaged Jena to meet with her later in the evening. I missed her so much. We haven't had time to catch up since I resumed my internship. I wanted to tell her everything that has happened. I think now that we are adults, she deserves to know about Raymond as well. I've hidden it from her for a long time, and at this point, I don't care anymore.
Later, after work, Jena picked me up from work. I'd told my driver earlier not to bother coming to pick me up.
Jena met my gaze while I stood waiting at the company's entrance. I slipped into her car, I hugged her tightly with a wild grin on my face, and we zoomed off.
"Babes, You've been distant, and I kinda thought you needed the space.?" i smiled at her holding one of her hands as she drove with the other one. "I'm sorry, I miss you too, but don't worry, there's a lot of catching up to do." I winked at her, and she immediately got the clue. She screamed in excitement, and we both laughed. Jena always looks forward to hearing my gist.
We arrived at an exclusive fine dining restaurant, and there seems to be a buffet service happening there. "Buffet, added advantage, hun?" Mesmerizing foods like pork ribs, dumplings, seafood, and those fancy foods and drinks were displayed at everyone's disposal, which was very exciting. Jena and I giggled at her silly jokes as we served our dishes and sat at our reserved table.
"There is something I've been holding off from you for a long time, Jena and I think it's the right time to let you know." She raised a curious eyebrow and clenched her jaw in disbelief. "For a long time? How long? And what is it?". "Since high school," I looked up to see her sharp glare at me. She didn't think I'd ever keep something from her for such a long time. We don't keep things from each other, or should I say she doesn't, because I already broke the rules. I can't be blamed, it was just a hard thing to say at that time, and I know she will try all possible means to stop me.
"I used to have a crush on Raymond since high school," she widened her eyes in shock. "Listen, just let me finish, Jena, please." Her face suddenly squeezed back to normal, she poked her mouth and I chuckled. "Well, turns out he also want me so we are together now and I'm happy" even though I was very excited about the news, I was still very shy to talk about it to Jena, she looked at me for a minute without a word and finally broke the silence with her angelic voice.
"As long as you're happy, Rena, you know I'll always support you. You've been through a lot, babe, and love should help you forget things faster, I guess." Hmm, Jena's reassurance of her love for me is something I'll always be grateful for. She pulled me into a tight hug that felt so relieving, and we both sighed softly.
"So have you guys…" uhg I knew she would pop that question, I was expecting it, I laughed inwardly and interrupted her "Jena, Noooo, I don't know what you're talking about." I grew cold feet trying to hide my flushed face, but she saw it. Her face brightened with amusement. "ohhhhhh, fuck I knew it, Raymond is too hot for you not to have tried it. So tell me every detail, I want to hear it." I was about to start spilling every detail of Raymond and me spreading juice all over the company until his call interrupted.
"Talk of the devil," I answered the call, and his strong bass voice melted my knees. "Where are you?" He sounded so possessive, but I kind of liked it. "I…I'm with Jena for dinner," I stutter. "I'll have you picked up in 30 minutes, you'll be with me for the weekend." My stomach was filled with excitement and perplexity at the same time as I tried to imagine what he was up to. "The weekend? Hmm, Yes, sir." I answered abruptly and hung up.
"A weekend getaway?" Jena asked, her face brightened, expecting to hear what I had to say. " Well, I'm not sure what he's up to just yet. I mean, he didn't mention if it's a getaway or not."
I wrapped things up with Jena, and we set to leave. Raymond was already parked outside, waiting for me. I bid Jena goodbye, and we parted ways. I slipped into his car, and he zoomed off instantly. "Where are we going?" he looked at me with a smirk on his face, that's the best I've seen him do. "You'll see." I relaxed in his car and was eagerly waiting for his surprise. After several minutes of a peaceful drive, we arrived at the airport where his private jet was waiting for us.
"Okay, Raymond, where are we going? You can't just transport me to God knows where without prior knowledge, and I have to tell my family as well." Curiously waiting for his response, he moved closer to me, his hands crawled towards my back, and he pulled me to his chest. "I want to host you for the weekend at my private suite in the Maldives," my heart skipped, and I glanced at him in astonishment. A weekend getaway… I never knew Raymond could be this sweet in just one day of knowing how I feel about him."Are you kidding me? I didn't pack anything". As far as I know, that was not a hassle, we probably will get everything I need there. I still had to object.
"I'll have that covered for you, little girl." I smiled at him and kissed him softly. He helped me into the jet and I felt like a queen. We couldn't get our hands off each other the whole time on the jet. He is either playing with my hands or rubbing my lap, or teasing my nipples, making me wet and hungry for him. We arrived at the Maldives late, and we went to bed in each other's arms. He didn't touch me. I guess I was being punished for something.
