(Xandra p.o.v)
I woke up feeling so fresh. I think I’ve been sleeping for a long time and a good sleep. However, its still early in the morning since it was still dark outside. Trying to move but suddenly noticed a arm wrapped around my waist. I was leaning to a hard chest. My turned my head slowly, to find that handsome face still sleeping soundly. He is a perfect god creation. His brow, the perfect nose. His thin lips. The sharp jaw. It make him looks handsomely dangerous. I blushed thinking of what happened last night but I did not regret any of it. I missed him so much. Missed being in his hold. Wrapped warmly in his arm. I was eyeing his eight pax body. His chest is a hard as a wall. Slowly tracing a finger through his abs, suddenly I felt that his muscle tightened. “Like what you see, baby girl?”, his voice huskier in the morning. My palm flat on his chest. I did not move a muscle. “Baby girl?”, he tilted my chin to make our eyes locking in each other. He raised his brow to me but I just shaking my head. Shyly snuggled closer to him. He laughed and hugged me tighter to him. “Morning baby girl. What do you want for breakfast”, kissing my head. “Anything.... I can eat anything at this moment”, I said. “Okay, we going out. I want to bring you to one of my favourite breakfast place. You can go and wash first”. Taking his phone, walking to the balcony. We are out of his penthouse at 7:30am and into his matte black estoque lamborghini.
We arrived at the air strip in after a 30 minutes drive. A jet was already waiting for us there. He pulled me in his arm. I was stunned but he just smiled. Holding my hand going up into the jet, there an air stewardess greeted us upon our arrival. He settled me in one of the seat. Buckled my seat belt before settled down him beside me. Taking my hand into his, kissing the back of it. “Gabriel, where are we going?”. Question in my eyes. He smiled, “Baby, where are going for breakfast. I promised you will be happy with it, okay?”. He leaned comfortably in his seat. I just nodded my head. “We fly for about an hour and half. My friend own a cafe there, served all delicious breakfast. And I want her to meet you”, he continued.
We arrived at Lara’s Cafe half an hour after landing. I was so hungry. Gabriel lead me inside the cafe. We seated on the seat at the corner of the shop. A waitress came to take our order, was smiling seductively towards Gabriel. But he did not even looked up at her. “Can you get Lara to come out. Tell her Gabriel ask for her”, he commended. The waitress then turned to the kitchen. A middle age woman came out, maybe somewhere early forties. She is beautiful. “Gabriel!!.... What brings you here?”, she called out. Gabriel stood up hugging her and she kissed his cheeks. I was uncomfortable sitting there, not knowing what to do. “How are you, Lara?”, Gabriel smiling at her. “I’m fine Gaby. I’m happy with my life now. Alex is a wonderful husband”, she smiled. Her face was glowing upon saying the other person’s name. She smiled looking at me, “Who do we have here?”. “Oh.... sorry. This is Xandra. Xandra this is my cousin sister, more like my elder sister to me”. He introduced us. I stood up, reached out my hand to shake hers, but I was shocked when she pulled me into a hug. A just gave a small smile when we apart.
“Wow!!.... I’m happy for you, Gaby. She’s beautiful”. She turned to me, “He never brought anyone here sweetheart and it tells me it is different with you and I really hope for it. He deserved to be happy. He’s been taking care of everything and everyone”. Still smiling at me.
Gabriel just smirking, “Lara..... we are starving and we are here for your food”. Lara just rolled her eyes and she spatted Gabriel’s head from behind. “Yeah.... you were always here for my food and never because of family. Arsehole kid”, shaking her head. Gabriel smirked but said sorry for not being here for quite sometimes.
I looked both of them and knew that they had a special bond as cousin. I liked Lara. She outspoken a bit but I can feel that she has a warm heart. I was lost in taught until Gabriel snap his finger in front of me. “Hey babe, where have you gone?. I’ve been calling you for few times”. I blushed and just smiled, “It’s nothing. I’m never see you so happy and relax with other. It shows you both have a special bond”. He just smiled but said nothing. Maybe its not yet time for me to know what was the story behind it. But it’s not my right to push it anyway. The food arrived. It was so delicious. The egg benedict was very delicious. The pancake melted in your mouth. I really loved it. We finished the breakfast and after an hour chatting with Lara, it was time to fly back. She packed me a box of all type of pastries. We thanked her and off to the air strip. I fell asleep in the jet. Woke up only, when we arrived at my house. Gabriel, pecking a kiss on my mouth, “Baby, wake up.... we at your house now”. Opening my eyes and smiling at him, stretching a little bit, I came out from the car. Gabriel closed the door and held me against the car for a while. “Remember to read the agreement and come back to me latest by next Sunday. And another thing, when do you want to tell Mady about me? You want me around when you tell her?”. I bit my lower lip, then looked up at him, “No worries, l’ll tell her and maybe if everything’s okay, we can meet you next weekend”. He was silent for a while then nodded. After giving a breathtaking kiss..... he drove away.
