Chapter 340: I will be back

Nicole could do nothing but stare at Raymond, she could not believe her ears.

She smiled trying to hold up the tears welling up in her eyes.

" Of course, we can stand in any position...... but you will officially remain my husband and I will be your loyal and submissive wife.. in a short while you will understand what I am trying to say " Nicole says as she uses her index finger to wipe off the tears that was trying to fall off.

Raymond closed the gap between them and hugged her as tight as he could.

" In a short while... " Raymond said.

He took a deep breath and sighed.

" Come in, you are almost late and I do not want that to happen " Raymond said disengaging him self from the hug, he grabbed her hand tight in his while he stared at her from her head to her toes.

" You look gorgeous... fit for a high rank " Raymond complimented.

" I will drive you so you would not have to be more than five minutes late " Raymond said.

" Can that happen? ..... Not sure, yes or no " Nicole said not expecting an answer.

" Trust me on this! " Raymond said as he walked towards the exit and Nicole walked behind him.

He stopped at the vanity and picked up a Louis Vuitton fancy bag along with her phone.

Then he handed it over to her as he slide the car keys in to his pocket.

They walked out of the room not to slow and not to fast but in a cooperate way.

Raymond has always had his way.

They walked down the stair case, clicking sounds could be heard coming from Nicole's heels while they walked.

" Ray, ........... Thank you " Nicole said calmly as they stopped by the dinning table.

" It has always been my pleasure " Raymond said as he poured coffee in to the glass of cup on the table.

He smirked as he handed the coffee over to Nicole.

" Have this, so you would not get to hungry...... you can order breakfast from your office right? " Raymond asked as she watched Nicole drink the coffee.

" Yes " Nicole responded as she put the glass cup down from her lips.

" Okay, ni..... " Raymond got interrupted.

" Why are you acting like my mother? she always does this ' make sure you have your breakfast at the office.... do not starve your self ' " Nicole said trying to mimick her mother's voice.

" That's motherly love___ it will be a pleasure if I get to meet your mother, I would really love it " Raymond said as his lips formed a thin line.

" Come on.... I did not forget it, finish that up fast " Raymond nagged as he peeped in to the cup.

" Done " Nicole said as she dropped the glass cup on the table, taking a deep breath.

" Alright, let's leave now " Raymond said as he turned around and faced the main exit.

Nicole walked by his side as she giggled.

" Why are you laughing? " Raymond asked as he hopped in to the car along with Nicole.

" Nothing " Nicole responded as she slightly licked her lips and closed the car door while it made a sharp sound.

" Do not try that with me or tease me.... I need to concentrate to get you to the office so your boss would not get upset at you " Raymond shunned at her.

" Put on your seat belt.... forget it! " Raymond said as he lent forward towards Nicole and helped her fixed her seat belt.

" You know I can do some certain things.... Mmmh, if I continue like this I would believe that you are trying to transform me in to a child and I will take you as a baby sitter " Nicole said as she chuckled.

" So be it, I do not mind at all " Raymond said as he nodded his head.

He started the ignition and sighed.

" Five minutes " he said while he stared at the stop watch on his hand.

" You are challenging your self!! " Nicole chuckled.

" No.. keeping to my word and proving what I am good at " Raymond said as he dropped the stop watch on the gear.

He turned the steering wheel and zoomed off.

While driving, he decided reminisce on what was going on and what he was supposed to do.

' Nicole is already sure about her feelings for me and my feelings for her is clear.. why do I feel like it is high time I tell her about my self, it would be abnormal to still hide it from her, I need to find a way to tell her, I will talk to her about it when she returns.... yeah, that is perfect ' Raymond said to him self while he still made sure that he concentrated on the road.

" Where are you driving me to? you do not have any idea where the company is located " Nicole insisted the moment she realized that Raymond does not know where the company was located.

She looked at the stop watch, it was remaining less than two minutes.

Raymond looked at her and smiled then he turned his face back to face the road.

His face suddenly turned emotionless.

' I wonder what my step siblings have been up to while I was away.. I need to be prepared for any thing ' he said to him self as he looked at Nicole with fear in his eyes.

' I am afraid that you will become my weakness ' Raymond sighed.

That was exactly the reason why he had always stayed away from women.

He was scared that his enemies would use those women to turn him in and he did not want that but Nicole's case was different, he felt so different about her.

" I trust no one but you " Raymond said and Nicole turned to look at him.

" What did you say? " She asked.

" Hmmmm, nothing " Raymond denied.

He wondered how that slipped out of his lips.

" I thought I heard you say some thing? " Nicole asked.

" No, it is nothing serious, I was just repeating some thing some one told me " Raymond said hoping that she would not ask him more questions.

" We are here! " Raymond said as he stepped on the break and released his hand from the steering.

He picked up the stop watch, he stared at it then turned it towards Nicole's direction.

" How did this happen? " Nicole asked.

" Exactly five minutes! " She added as she chuckled in surprise.

" What? Surprised!! " Raymond asked.

" Hell yes " she responded as raised up her hand and glanced at Raymond's wrist watch which she was wearing.

Then she laughed. " I am not even late..... Ten minutes early for work! " She added.

" Raymond explain, how is this possible? " Nicole asked.

" Remember I was stalking you... so it is 100% necessary for me to know where you work or do you not think so? " Raymond said as he relaxed on the head rest.

" Stalker! " Nicole repeated as she hit his shoulder.

" Now you believe I am a fast rider right? " Raymond asked as he turned his face and looked at her.

" Yes, I now believe it " Nicole accepted.

" Learn to believe me rathe than doubting me " Raymond adviced as he smiled.

" I never doubted you, I just thought that you were not serious about it and that you were joking around with me as usual " Nicole explained.

" But you indeed did it, you can do more great things may be not now but in the future " Nicole said as she stretched her hand and placed it on Raymond's cheeks.

Raymond just stared at her speechless as he was lost of words.

" You need to get going okay? I will meet you later in the day " Raymond said as he stepped out of the car making Nicole laugh silently.

He turned around and opened the door for Nicole to step down.

Nicole sighed and stepped out seeing that he opened the door.

" I can now see the reason you stepped out of the car... your face is flushed pink, you are blushing? that's surprising " Nicole said as she smirked.

" No I was not " Raymond said calmly, putting his face down and stared at their feets.

It seemed like her eyes was too sharp to see his expression so quickly.

She raised her hands towards his shoulders and locked her hands at the back of his neck while she drew closer to him.

Slowly, her breath became unsteady as she brought her lips closer to his not minding where they were.

" Nic.o..le " Raymond stammered as he called out her name.

She locked her lips on his and suckled on his lower lip, slowly sliding her tongue in to his mouth savouring his taste, it was some thing she would never intended on missing.

She played with his tongue.

Raymond held her tight, as he tasted her lip stick, it tasted like cinnamon.

" I love you Ray " Nicole said still suckling on his lips.

Then she slowly released her lips from him and giggled.

" Your lip stick is ruined.... " Raymond said as he wiped off the color which got stuck below her nose.

" It's worth loosing " Nicole responded with a smile on her face as she rested her head on his chest.

" I would never leave you, I am always here by your side...... Remember that " Nicole assured.

" I know " Raymond said as he placed his hand on her hair caressing it gently.

" You have to go now.... else or hurry would be a waste " Raymond suggested.

" I do not mind " Nicole said holding him more tightly.

" Look, Nicole, you can not hold unto me like this always.... you have to continue with you daily activities like you have always done before you met me okay? I am not leaving you... because you will always come back in to my arms when ever you return, please do not be stubborn. I have already cost you alot and made you look after me please if you want my conscience to be free you have to let go of me and walk in to that building " Raymond said as he took a deep breath.

Nicole was quiet for while, she knew that what he said made a lot of sense, she needed to continue her usual life style before she met him but always remember that he was with her and there for her.

Reluctantly, she let go of him and looked up at him.

" Please take care of your self while I am away, I will be back " Nicole said.

Raymond nodded his head.

" I promise I will, you are making me scared, we are only aware for some hours and after that we will be back in each other arms " Raymond said as he kissed her fore head.

" Okay " Nicole said as she nodded her head.

She faced the car and picked up her hand bag.

" I will be back " She said to him and smiled.

Raymond nodded as he watched her walk in to the company.

Finally his heart was at ease, he was happy that he helped her start her day well and she was not late for work.

If she was that would be so irresponsible of her. 

He made sure that she was out of his sight before he hopped in to the car and then he zoomed off immediately.

While driving he picked up his phone and dailed a number.

" The number you are trying to call is not reachable " 

Raymond sighed hearing that the person he was trying to get was not reachable.

" When ever you get this message, do well to get back to me " he said after which he sent the voice mail hoping the person gets his mail as soon as possible.

He dropped his phone on his laps as he concentrated on driving.

**************

Lorenzo carries a tray of food as he walks towards his room.

He sits beside the bed then he keep the food on the bed beside him.

" Tina, wake up " he said as he tapped Tina slowly on her shoulder.

She yawns as she turns around to the other side. 

Lorenzo kneels on the bed as he raises her head up, then he sits down back and made her rest her head on his laps.

" Heyy, wake up.... " Lorenzo said as he adjusted her hair which was scattered over her face.

" Tell me it is not morning yet.... I am not satisfied yet " Tina said as her eyes were still closed.

" Come on, it is morning already, you need to eat some thing and after that you can go back to bed, I promise you " Lorenzo said trying to persuade her to stand up.

" Nooo, the sleep would no longer be fun " Tina said turning over to the other side again.

" Fun? Sleep? Sleep fun? " He asked confused, he had never heard about that before.

" You can not be serious right now " Lorenzo said as he adjusted her to the position he had put her before.

" How about if I feed you? " He asked.

Tina smiled on hearing that.

She immediately sat up and looked at him raising her eye brows up.

She look down at the food and pointed at her mouth.

" Come on " Tina said.

" So this is what you want? You should have told me rather than joking around " Lorenzo said as he carried the tray and placed it in between the both of them.

" It does not mean " Tina insisted. 

Lorenzo nodded in approval as he picked up a fork from the dray and put it in to the plate of ramen, he noticed that she like it a lot.

" Have a bite " he said as he took a spoonful of ramen and brought it closer to her mouth.

Tina looked at it and pipped her lips out like a child.

" You do not like it? I am surprised " Lorenzo said put it down.

" Aahhh " Tina opened her mouth as wise as her little mouth could go.

Lorenzo looked at her and she nodded.

He picked up the ramen back and fed her.

" After this, would you love to go on a walk with me? " Lorenzo asked.

" Sure, I would.... I mean I have been indoors since I came here, it would be so nice and exciting if I go on a walk with you..... Definitely I would go with you " Tina concluded.

" Alright, since you have made up your mind, once you are satisfied with this meal, you should rest then prepare okay? I will be waiting for you " Lorenzo said as he handed over the glass of juice to her and she gulped down a little quantity.

" It's to spicy " Tina said.

" What exactly???? " Lorenzo asked.

" The noodles " Tina responded.

" Ohhh, you do not like it? I thought it would be good for you since the weather is too cold " Lorenzo said as he wiped off the little quantity stuck beside her lips.

" It is ramen not noodles " Lorenzo corrected as he picked up an apple from the tray and handed it over to her.
