I just felt a warm light hitting on my face. I opened my eyes and looked around to see Little Bud curled up around me and fast asleep. I pulled her more towards me and hugged her tight. She sighed slightly and slept.
My phone starts to vibrate and I answered, seeing it was Jason.
"Good Morning Jason,"
"Good Morning sir,"
"Do you have anything special?" I asked looking at her, to see if she is not disturbed.
"Sir, The Atec CEO - Mr.Willams, gave a call,"
"Hmm, did he want to meet up?"
"Yes sir,"
"Ok, arrange a day next week at the office, and please don't disturb me today unless it's really urgent,"
"OK sir, I will, Have a good day,"
"You too, Jason,"
I got up from the bed after tucking her in and went to have a bath and make breakfast. She loves french toast with a cup of hot milk tea.
"HI, good morning,"
"hmm.. did I wake you up?"
"No, you weren't there when I woke up, so I thought you must be in a meeting and came to make breakfast,"
"ok...have your cup of tea, before it gets cold," I said finishing off with making breakfast.
"Let's go to the beach today?" I asked her with a surprise in mind.
"Hmm... what about work,"
"I can do it any time. I do have to treat you for the genius idea,"
"Huh!!! what do you mean?"
"Atec has called for a meeting,"
"So when are you going to meet?" she asked with a smile.
"Yes, next week. So eat soon or we'll be late,"
"Hmmm so secretive, what are you up to?"
"You just want to spoil the fun, love,"
She came and gave a kiss on my cheek and hugged me from behind. Having her near me feels so good, I loved the sensation of having her hands on my bare chest.
"You are scary, babe,"
"Go one get ready. I have kept your yellow sundress," I love to see her in that dress.
We got ready in half an hour and left for my secret place. It was a one-hour drive and I had the new car roof down to let the wind and the sea breeze welcome us. Alex called in,
"HI, you two,"
"Hi, Alex,"
"Are you going to..."
"You sure know how to spoil the surprise Nutmeg," I scolded him.
"Sorry. Ahm... Benny, you will be back in the night right?"
"hmm.. yes, is it something urgent,"
"hmmm...no nothing, I just need some advice. I'll catch you in the night. Drive safe,"
We came and stop in front of a big gate. I had Markus and his team come in first and check for security and arrange the food and other necessities.
"Ben, What is this?" she looked at me surprised.
"Wait and see,"
We went in and parked at the entrance. She went on looking around at the modern vacation villa I have bought for her. The villa itself is located near the beach with a wide sandy shore. I took her into the villa.
"Do you like this?" I asked her hugging her from behind.
"Hmm.."
"We can come here anytime we want,"
"But what about our home?" she looked a bit worried.
"We will live there, but when we want a holiday we will stay here,"
"But then who will stay here when we are not here,"
oh I see what is wrong now. I just squeezed her nose and showed her two guests.
"Sarah, meet Uncle and Aunty May,"
"hmmm....?"
"It's nice to meet you, Madam," they said looking at us with a kind smile.
"Do you remember a few years ago we volunteered to help an old lady with her surgery?" I don't think she does remember, but maybe a little vision. She looked at me clueless.
"Sorry love, I didn't tell you before. On the day of the accident, their car was also hit by them. And this Aunty had been disabled but I helped them and looked after them from time to time,"
"Yes dear, your husband, was so kind to help us. And we are happy to repay you by looking after this villa when you are away," said Aunt May.
"I am sorry Aunt May, she doesn't remember the accident at all and she is still recovering from head trauma and sudden outbursts when we are in a crowd or with strangers," I explained.
"Oh you poor child," said uncle May.
"Please call me Sarah," she said taking their hands and accepting them.
After walking around and resting for a while we had lunch with May's family and the team. I have bought a separate house next to the property for them to live and have a peaceful time in their old age. Uncle May had met my father several times and they had been talking about having some rounds of chess together. I should arrange that in the coming weeks and also let Alex has this place during Meg's vacation.
We left for home after evening tea. We were more relaxed and happy after the situations we had encountered a few days ago. Luckily I didn't have any emergency calls or situations to attend to. SO I was happy to accompany her and enjoy some time with her.
Alex was waiting for us at home.
"HI... did I spoil the fun?"
"No you didn't, so what was that issue you had?" I asked letting Sarah go and refresh. Markus had ordered pizza for everyone for dinner.
"hmmm.. I want to propose to Meg," he said with a worried look.
"At last,"
"But I don't know how to,"
"Well, what do you have in mind?"
"A candlelight dinner, a beach proposal,"
"Hmm... didn't she tell me she wants to visit the lake,"
"So?"
"Why not take her there and propose?"
"OH my.... Thank you BENNYYYY!!!!!!!! you saved me,"
"What is going on?" asked Sarah coming down while wiping her hair.
"He wants to propose to her and I helped with a plan," I said going towards her and taking the towel and drying off her hair.
"When and Where?" she asked excitedly.
"No way, I won't tell you. YOu will spoil the surpise,"
"Alex pleaseeee..."she pleaded like a kid.
"Nope,"
"Ok sweety, I will tell you later if you do what I want," I said.
"What?"
I whispered into her ear, making her blush and run back to the room.
