Rachel was confused, "Huh?" she turned to look at the balcony and started towards the balcony door slowly. When she got to the balcony, her big eyes widened in surprise and her jaw dropped.
There was a table in the balcony. The table was decorated with different coloured and beautiful dishes. There was decoration light hunged above the table. Poppy petals were scattered on the floor. Rachel bent down reaching out to gently touch the petals of these fragrant roses. She turned her head to look at Chad and smiled at him. He smiled and walked towards her.
He led her to the table and pulls out her chair for her. She sat down and smiled at him and he sat across from her. The only light is from the decoration light. He helped her with her plate and scooped lechon and sisig on her plate. He watches as she ate the food happily. She noticed him and blushes.
A shy smile slips out of her lips. He loves watching her like a voyeur looking into a secret world. He smiles warmly back as if it will comfort her and truly it does. Rachel noticed that he has not touched his food and raised her head to look at him.
"Why are you not eating?" she asked.
"I don't feel like eating. I just feel like watching you eat" he replied.
Rachel smiled and continued to eat her food. She began to enjoy his gaze. Feeling his eyes move over her. From her eyes to her nose, cheeks, lips, the curve of her neck and slope of her shoulder. She raised her head and they lock eyes across the table.
She felt her face was slowly becoming hot and she quickly turned her eyes and sipped the wine. She gazed at him over the glass as she sipped the wine. She reached for a strawberry and he deliberately snatched it just as her finger tip touched it. He grinned as he takes a large bite.
She offers the most convincing pout and he smiled affectionately, feeds her the rest and her eyes smiled back at him. He continued to feed her and enjoyed it. Anyone could see the energy between them.
She could not help but smile with pleasure at his sweetness.
How can he not love her?
Rachel raised her napkin to wipe her mouth, but before she could wipe her mouth, Chad lean towards her and put his hand softly on her cheeks. He kissed her softly. Tasting the sweetness of the dessert mixed with the sweetness of her.
Next morning.
*Bzz Bzz Bzz*
Johanna was in the middle of sleep when her phone vibrated. She dragged her hand around the bed to hunt for her phone. she rubbed her eyes and ran her hand through her hair, then she looked at her phone.
Her half closed eyes suddenly grew wide. It was nine in the morning. She jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom. While bathing, she cursed Emman. It was because of him that's why she woke up late. She should stop thinking about him. He is nothing to her.
As she stepped out of the bathroom, her phone rang. She picks up her phone, sliding her finger across the screen without even looking at the ID.
"Hey, Johanna, what are you still doing in bed by this time?" there comes Rachel's voice.
"I slept late last night. What do you think?" Johanna answered as she put on her tight jean trouser. Struggling with the tight jean, she fell on the bed. With a loud, "Hump" she dropped her phone on the bed and put it on speaker.
"You know, I have been waiting for you for the past one hour" Rachel said and glanced at her wristwatch.
Johanna was surprised. "One hour?" she repeated.
"Yes, will you hurry up and come downstairs. We are going out" without giving Johanna the chance to speak, she hung up the phone.
Johanna quickly put on her dress, stood in front of the mirror, made her hair into a messy bun and applied a little bit of makeup. She quickly gather her things into a small purse and put on a low heel, then she ran out of the room.
As soon as Rachel saw Johanna coming down the stair, she stood up and put her hands on her hips and her face showed how angry she is. "You, you, what have you been doing? How many hours will it take you to dress up, huh?" she scolded Johanna like a mother scolding her child.
"Sorry... So where are we going to?" Johanna asked with a confused look on her face.
Walking towards Johanna, Rachel smiled and hooked her arms around Johanna's. "You will know soon" she said and pulled Johanna out of the house.

At reef cafe, a young man dressed in black came out of the Bentley and opened the back seat door. Rachel and Johanna came out, walked into the VIP room and sat down, then a waiter came in and handed the menu over to Rachel.
"I am here to take your orders, ma'am" he said politely and bowed his head.
Rachel was surprised by the way he treated her. What she didn't know was that every one already know who she is. She Is Chad's girlfriend and the future young miss of the Torres family. No one dare disrespect her because they all know that they won't get away with it. Chad would make sure that person's name is never heard in the city. Everyone is scared of offending Rachel.
Rachel smiled back at him and collected the menu. She looked at it and said, "I will have chicken burger,and crispy fish salad" then she gave the menu to Johanna. Johanna took it from her and ordered also. "Give me bacon, cheese que sadilla and Sandwich" then she gave the menu back to the waiter. He bowed and left the room.
After he left, Johanna turned to look at Rachel and asked, curiously. "Hey, you didn't tell me why we are here. Did you win a lottery or... Did Chad give you something special"
Rachel raised her head and smiled. "You will know soon" She said and continued browsing through her phone.
After a few minutes of silence, Johanna finally spoke up. "Less I forget, is that woman still pestering you on breaking up with Chad?"
She remembered Rachel telling her that Mrs Torres wanted her to break up with Chad and she even promised to give her everything. That woman thinks money can buy everything.
How pathetic!
Rachel dropped her phone on the table and looked up at Johanna. "No, but I'm sure she won't give up. She just want Mina for her son"
Johanna crossed her arms across her chest and frowned. "That's woman... When will she stop? When will she stop trying to force those two together? Anyways, it's none of my business. As long as no one can separate the both of you, I'm fine" Rachel smiled at her friend.
Just then, the waiter came in with their food and placed it on the table, then he bowed and left. As soon as he left, the door opened again and a young fine man came in.
He wore a red shirt and a blue jean with a pair of black sneakers. His hair was ash brown and it was parted at the left side which makes him looks competent.
Johanna's eyes grew wide in surprise and her body froze.
What was he doing here? Who invited him here?
