Chapter Twenty-Two
From: Kassie
I went out for a short walk to buy something. Feel free to eat and rest while waiting.
The delicious scent of food filled the whole room causing her stomach to grumble in hunger, she originally planned to wait for Kassie, but she doubts that she’ll be able to stop herself from devouring the whole table if she waits for a little more while. Gladly, Kassie gave her the ‘go’ signal, so she went on to eat and enjoy the beautiful and scrumptious meals on the table.
To: Kassie
Thanks, Kass! I’ve been stopping myself from drooling over the food.
At some point, Tina felt like she was the fictional character Goldilocks, one of the main characters from Yohann’s favorite bedtime story, but the thought was easily replaced by delight as she ate the food and tasted their flavors.
Kassie really is the best cook! Tina cheered in her mind after she chewed a spoonful of the creamy carbonara.
-Tina-
Maybe if I am half as good of a cook as Kassie, then I would get my own man. That’s how the saying goes right? The best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. This is probably one of the reasons why her husband, Richard, is head over heels for her!
I was able to finish three servings of the creamy carbonara, so there was no doubt as to why I felt really full. This fullness would probably last until dinner.
After eating, I brought my plates to the sink and went on to explore around the house – the interior design and furniture were well-maintained. Even the potted plants were well-groomed and healthy. The whole place was spacious, but because of the well-designed floor plan, rather than feeling far and alone, the whole place gave off a comfy vibe. It definitely feels like a perfect home for a beautiful family, plus the fact that you get to witness the beautiful seaside view and feel the fresh and cool summer breeze made it stand out even more.
Now I understand why Kassie is fond of the province. I’ll probably look into some properties to buy one for me and Yohann.
While waiting for Kassie, I decided to entertain myself by picking out a book from the large bookshelf then I made myself comfortable on the soft chesterfield sofa. I read through the first pages of the books, but it seemed like my mind could not process ideas. So, I ended up dozing off to a nap.

As Tina was busy napping, the front door slowly creaked open. Felix carefully stepped foot inside of the house. He took a deep breath as he undid the button of his coat – he was still wearing his corporate attire since he just finished a meeting; he did plan on changing his clothes but the meeting took a little longer than expected.
He was exhausted from not getting enough sleep; thinking about how things would work out. He was confident because he already established a plan in his thoughts, but a part of him was nervous because things might go the other way around. All his thoughts then vanished, when he caught a glimpse of a woman who was lying down on the couch.
He then carefully walked his way into the living room, and there he saw Tina who seemed to have fallen asleep while reading a book – her feet were laid flat on the couch, as she leaned into the sofa with the book resting on the pillow above her lap.
Felix stared at her for a moment, wondering how she managed to fall asleep in such an uncomfortable position.
This woman sure is amazing. He spoke in his thoughts as a small smile made its way to his lips while he walked towards her to slowly carry her to one of the rooms.
Kassie had given him a copy of the floor plan, so he did not have problems in navigating around the place. He made sure that he was very careful with his moves so that Tina’s rest won’t be disturbed. Then he slowly laid her down on the bed, making sure that she was comfortable.
“Uhmm...” Tina groaned in her sleep when Felix’s movement made the bed suddenly shift.
His heart pounded fast for he thought that she would open her eyes and see him towering over her body because he was fixing the placement of the pillow, luckily, she remained asleep – Felix released a sigh of relief before his eyes drifted to study the details of her beautiful face.
And he can’t deny the fact that the more that he stares at her, the more that he falls for her. He’s just head over heels for this woman, despite the fact that she’s one of the densest in the universe.

Tina woke up because of the feeling that someone was watching her. She then brought her palm to cover her mouth as she released a yawn before she slowly opened her eyes to look around. She stared at the ceiling for a while before she realized that she was no longer in the living room nor sitting on the sofa.
She quickly sat up, and she was then greeted by Felix who was sitting on the corner of the room, near the big windows, working on something on his computer. Her eyes widened in surprise when she realized that she was in bed. Then she looked down to check herself and was relieved to see that she was fully clothed except for her shoes which were now lying on the floor beside the bed.
“What are you doing here?” Tina asked as she held the sheets, and fixed the strands of her hair.
Felix stopped typing and then diverted his attention to her. “This is my house.” He spoke.
“So, I have every right to be here.” He added.
“This is Kassie’s,” Tina argued.
“It was until I bought it from her.” Felix proudly replied.
-Tina-
What?! Why Kassie asked Mang Ruben to bring me here when this isn’t her house?
“Then why am I here?” I asked.
“Because I asked Kassie a favor.” He replied. “I’m getting tired of chasing after you, so I asked a favor from your friend.”
