Dear Sweetheart Chapter 259 Kiss Me After Kissing The Cat
The look on Curtis’ face turned gloomy as he asked, “Did you just kiss me after kissing a cat?”
“Hurry up! We’re running out of time!” Rayna shouted as she tugged his pants off and put them on. “That’s a Louis Vuitton skirt, so make sure you don’t tighten it too much! I don’t want you ruining it, you hear?” she warned him before leaving in a hurry.
Curtis took some time to recompose himself before putting the skirt on and leaving the female restroom. Despite having a face mask on, his tall and slender figure still drew a lot of attention to himself.
A mother happened to be passing by with her kid at the time.
The kid glanced at Curtis and asked his mother in an adorable voice, “This lady is so tall, Mommy! She looks like a giant! Why are you so short?”
The mother gave him a light smack on the head. “That’s not a lady, silly! That’s a guy!”
“Why is he wearing a skirt, then?”
As though she was afraid of hurting Curtis’ feelings, the mother whispered, “Because he likes wearing skirts.”
Curtis kept quiet and tugged at his cap to cover his face as he returned to the event venue.
The match was just about to start, and Rayna was warming up with the other nineteen participants.
The gray sweatpants looked really baggy on her, but she was so excited that she didn’t mind it at all.
“Ready, get set, go!”
As the referee blew the whistle, all twenty women charged forward as though their lives depended on it.
Rayna was on the outermost lane, and yet, she easily took the lead in just a matter of seconds.
Curtis chuckled and shook his head when he saw how much effort she was putting into that competition. It felt as if he was witnessing another dazzling side of her that he liked.
I understand that it’s limited edition, but it’s still just a lipstick. We could make a trip to Tom Ford and easily get a hundred of those, and yet, she insists on winning it in a competition…
Rayna’s sweatpants began sliding down a little halfway through the competition. She nearly tripped and fell when she stepped on the pant cuffs. As she bent over to roll them up, the other participants overtook her. Curtis got a little anxious as well when he saw that.
After rolling the pant cuffs back up, Rayna continued sprinting forward at full speed. Fortunately for her, she managed to get back in first place before crossing the finish line.
Despite being drenched in sweat, Rayna was smiling happily like a child as she waved at Curtis from afar. Curtis smiled back at her in response.
Women never fail to intrigue me!
As Curtis pulled out his phone to capture her victorious moment on camera, Rayna’s phone rang inside her handbag.
Since she was busy picking out her lipstick at the counter, he retrieved her phone and answered the call.
“Hello, Ms. Garland. It’s me, Sandy.” The person on the other line sounded gentle and meek.
Curtis found her voice oddly familiar and felt incredibly uncomfortable.
Because he had remained silent, Sandy became somewhat anxious as she continued, “Are you free? I want to meet up with you for a chat. It’s not about Elijah. This is about something else.”
“She’s not available right now. You have no business with my girlfriend, so stop calling her from now on,” Curtis replied.
“I have something very important to tell Ms. Garland. Could you please let her know that I want to meet her? I just need a few minutes with her—” Sandy was cut off mid-sentence when someone called out to her.
She stopped talking immediately and hung up the phone a minute later.
Curtis went into deep thought while staring at the phone.
Sandy? I don’t think I know that woman, so why does her voice make me feel uncomfortable?
He was snapped out of his train of thought when Rayna came running over with the lipstick she won. “I got it! See? I won first place in that race! Am I amazing or what?” she yelled excitedly while waving it in the air.
Curtis burst out laughing when he saw the sweat trickling down her forehead. “Yes, Ms. Garland. You are very amazing.”
The two of them then went back into the restroom to get changed. Curtis noticed some dirt on the pant legs, but he didn’t say a word about it. After stepping out of the restroom, he told Rayna about the phone call earlier.
“Why would she want to see me if it isn’t about Elijah? She got so worked up that she fainted when she saw my jewelry a while back. Could it be that she wants to buy my jewelry?”
“What jewelry do you have in your collection?” Curtis asked.
“Oh, it’s nothing of value, really! It’s actually a fake, but the expert craftsmanship made her believe it’s the real deal. Anyway, I’m hungry. Let’s go have lunch!” Rayna replied in an attempt to change the topic.
“Are you trying to change the topic, Ms. Garland?”
“No, I’m not!”
“Do I look that gullible to you?”
Sick and tired of his persistent questioning, Rayna quickly applied her lipstick and kissed him hard.
She burst out laughing when she stepped back and saw his lips all red.
Curtis’ veins were bulging from the sides of his head as he yelled, “Rayna! You can’t just kiss me after kissing your cat! I feel like my entire body reeks of it now!”
Rayna rolled her eyes at him. “I bathe it often, so it’s very clean! Look, are you joining me for lunch or not?”
Curtis could only let out a helpless sigh in response.
Oblivious to her lipstick prank, he went straight into the restaurant with her. It wasn’t until he saw a few of the customers laughing at him that he realized something was amiss.
He quickly pulled out his phone to have a look, and the first thing he saw was his rosy lips.
Rayna tossed her head back as she laughed uncontrollably. “I think this color suits you well, Mr. Faymon! How about I give you this lipstick instead?”
It was already two in the afternoon by the time they left the amusement park and returned to the city.
Curtis then brought her to a movie theater. “What would you like to watch?” he asked while scrolling through the list of movies on the ticket vending machine.
“I don’t think there are any interesting movies this month, though…” Rayna mumbled while looking at the list. “Wait, they have ‘A Beautiful Life’? Let’s watch this one!”
“Okay.”
Curtis quickly bought the tickets and selected their seats while Rayna queued up for popcorn and drinks.
She then came back a few minutes later with a huge bucket of popcorn in hand. She handed Curtis the drinks, but he simply lowered his gaze and knelt in front of her as he said, “Your shoelaces have come loose. Did you not realize that?”
“Huh? Really?” Rayna looked down in surprise.
She found herself blushing a little when she saw him tying her shoelaces.
The fact that he was always looking out for her filled her heart with warmth.
While waiting for the movie’s showtime, Rayna couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Faymon, don’t you think your behavior has been rather unusual lately?”
“Hmm?”
“You’re usually married to your work and barely have time for anyone, so why did you bring me to the amusement park and the movies all of a sudden?”
He had also been flirting with her a lot while they were at work.
“I told you, I’ve developed feelings for you, Ms. Garland. It’s only natural that I act upon those feelings to prove my sincerity in winning your heart over. It’s true that I am usually very busy with work, but I do have time to scroll through my Twitter feed every now and then. I hear couples love going to amusement parks and movie theaters, so I decided to give it a shot.”
He then added after a brief pause, “I hear bungee jumping is also a great way to bring two people closer together. Would you like to give that a try as well?”
“Absolutely not!” Rayna shook her head profusely.
She was still traumatized by the memories of Jefferson forcing her to go parachuting in Hallsbay.
