AFTER ending the call with Kaylee, Amber fixed her bed and went to the bathroom to take a bath. She chooses a red blouse for her top and black leggings then a slip on for her footwear.
“Nana Mildred.” She called as soon as she entered the kitchen but was taken aback when she saw Rafael brewing his own coffee. His wet hair and his after-shower scent indicates that he just took a bath. “G-good morning.” She stammered greeting him.
“Morning.” He said casually. “Are you hungry? I’ll ask Nana Mildred to prepare our breakfast.”
“Sort of.” She answered as she drinks a glass of water.
“Go and make yourself comfortable in the dining room.” Rafael said. “I’ll be there in a second.”
Amber’s about to leave when Nana Mildred entered the kitchen.
“How is your sleep, hija?” She asked amber, smiling.
“It’s good, Nana, that’s why I overslept.” She answered.
“That’s great, you need plenty of sleep now that you’re pregnant.” She said. “Take a seat and I’ll just prepare your breakfast. By the way, do you want milk?”
“I already made milk for her, Nana.” Rafael said who is now holding two mugs. He glanced at her. “Let’s go to the dining room.” He said and he went out of the kitchen.
“Nana Mildred, when will the other helpers come?” She asked.
“I think they’re on their way now, hija.” Nana Mildred answered. “Sir Rafael is not strict so we just work in our own pace, for him, the result of the work is more important.”
“Is that so…”
“You should go and follow Sir Rafael in the dining room. I will serve the food in a moment.” Nana Mildred said; she just nods her head and went to the dining room; there she saw Rafael talking to someone on the phone, she quietly took a seat.
“Did you prepare what I asked you to?” Rafael asked to the one he was talking to while staring at her. “Okay, thank you, Gab.” He said and ended the line. “So, how was your first night here? Did you sleep well?” Rafael asked her.
“Yes, thank you.” She answered as she took a sip on her milk. “And thank you for the milk.” She said and he nods as an acknowledgement.
“By the way, Judge Marquez will be here after lunch.” Rafael said.
“Ah, yeah. Sir Gabriel mentioned it last night when they brought you here.” She said making him frown.
“Why are you still awake? Gab mentioned that it was past midnight when they brought me here.” Rafael asked seriously.
“I-I was making milk because I can’t sleep.” She explained, his stern expression was replaced by a calm one.
“Then it was you who changed my clothes last night…”
“Y..yes, you reek of alcohol so I wip…” she can’t help not to blush, just thinking about his naked body—those abs and muscles, makes her gulp; and it seems that Rafael noticed her red cheeks because the corner of his lips raised. “Anyway, can I go out this coming Saturday?” She diverted the subject, making him frown again.
“Where are you going?” He seriously asked.
“Ehm, that day is Kaylee’s day-off…”
“We are supposed to go to Baguio on Saturday.” Rafael said making her upset, and curious what they will do there. She was about to asked when Nana Mildred came.
Amber and Rafael were both silent as Nana Mildred serve the food.
“On the other hand, let’s just go to Baguio on Sunday.” Rafael said when Nana Mildred left them, making Amber’s face light in delight.
“You’re not kidding?” Amber asked not believing what he just said, her red lips are smiling wide.
“Just take care of your self and don’t exhaust your self too much.”
“Yes! Thank you!” She happily stood up and hug Rafa. “Thank you so much, Rafa!”
“Is that how you show your gratitude?” Rafael asked, pulling her in his lap and wrapped his hands on her waist.
