Leap OF Fate novel Chapter 51

The weekend flew by quicker than Serene and Justin wanted. They had so much fun over the weekend and would love to have stayed longer.

Carol and Conrad accompanied them to the airport.

“Please visit soon,” Carol said to Justin as she was hugging him.

“Yes, Mom,” he promised.

“Take care of Serene while she’s at Hyacinth Bay,” Conrad said as he also gave Justin a tight hug.

“Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll take care of her.”

After saying their goodbyes, they both boarded. It was less than an hour flight, but Serene still slipped in a catnap. Justin read an inflight magazine while holding her hand.

It surprised him that their trip to Coast City turned out to be an enjoyable one. The way he felt going to Coast City and returning to Hyacinth Bay were opposites. Leaving Hyacinth Bay, his heart wanted to leap out of his chest from the tension and nervousness he felt. On their return, he never felt calmer. The warmth he received from Serene’s parents coated his heart. He already longed to go back and spend some more time with Conrad. He put a mental note to ask his secretary to move things around his schedule for another weekend trip.

Justin’s driver welcomed them when they arrived at Hyacinth Bay. This time around, he and Serene sat in the back seat while his driver drove them to Magnolia Crescent.

Serene snuggled closer to him, wanting to continue her interrupted nap. Justin had not let her go until it was almost morning. She felt tired and sore all over. She just wanted to sleep and regain her strength.

Justin held her in his arms to let her continue her sleep. He stroked her hair, relaxing her further.

Serene still slept when they reached Magnolia Crescent. He felt bad waking her up, after all she looked exhausted. He carried her up into the villa and into their bedroom.

Serene stirred a little when her back hit the bed, but did not wake up. She felt cold air on her skin but it did not last long, a warm and silky feeling of cloth sliding down her skin replaced the coldness. She turned sideways to find a comfortable position to continue her REM cycle.
