A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE
(A CONTRACT MARRIAGE)
EPISODE FIVE
THEME: Time starts now
FEW DAYS LATER
“Hey buddy. I am about to board the plane to Idaho right now. I will definitely call you when I touch down. So wish me luck, best friend.”
Christopher texted after completing his check-ins at the counter. He was texting Benjamin so he would finalize the whole proposal plans.
He dragged his box and motioned towards the plane together with the other passengers.
Christopher waited for his turn to claim the few stairs and he also went in search of his seat number in the plane. After he found it, Christopher settled on the chair and plugged in his AirPod. He took out his cellphone and connected the Bluetooth device. He turned on a song title ‘Ghost by Justin Bieber.’ This song has been a source of inspiration to him since the proposal plans started. It was the perfect song to set him into the proposal mood.
The cellphone beeped. It was an I*******m message from Benjamin.
“Yo buddy! Best of luck on winning your woman. You are coming home as an engaged man!” A dancing and cheering emojis was sent after the message.
Christopher grinned as he read through the text. He was glad and excited about what lies ahead in Idaho. His dream woman and the quest to win her over for a lifetime commitment. He has made up his mind to spend forever with Jessica a long time ago. This bold step he was about to take would be a new beginning. And a decision that would change his life forever.
“I hope you like this, my love. I hope you do.” Christopher heaved a sigh.
The pilot gave out safety instructions while Christopher spent the whole time envisioning the whole plan in his head.
A smile crept on his face as he imagined the woman he loves so much saying yes to his proposal.
*********************
(Four hours, forty minutes later.)
The plane arrived at Idaho. Christopher took the next taxi to the service apartment Benjamin had booked in his name.
He was greeted by an old man in his seventies who handed him the keys to the apartment.
“I had my boys clean the whole place. Everything is set.” The man who had introduced himself as Mr Thomas over the phone said.
“Thank you, Mr Thomas.” Christopher grinned. He waved goodbye at the man before he walked away.
Christopher bounced up the few steps leading to the porch and he used the keys to open the door. Everywhere was neat but he needed to check the main part of the plan. He raced down to the bedroom and saw that everything was in check and the same way his best friend has formulated the plan. The apartment was designed for the proposal plans.
Christopher was satisfied even as he fought the urge to scream out in excitement. Seeing that everything was in place, he took out his cellphone and dialed Benjamin’s number.
‘Hello Chris.’ Benjamin picked on the second ring.
‘I am at the apartment! This place is so beautiful as I have imagined it to be! Everything is working out as planned. And I am sure Jessica would love it!’ Christopher gasped in excitement.
‘I told you they would deliver well! Mr Thomas has been a proposal planner for years now!’ Benjamin replied.
‘What else do I need to do now?’ Christopher paced the room.
‘Call her.’ Benjamin answered.
‘You are right. But I need to go over to her place then bring her back her in the evening for the main proposal.’
‘Why not invite her over now?’ Benjamin asked.
‘She might be busy at work. And I need to play around with my woman to set us in the proposal mood.’ Christopher chuckled.
‘Oh! You need to hit on her so hard! Really?’ Benjamin joked.
‘Yeah buddy!’
They both laughed.
‘I trust you will have a nice stay Idaho. Your next call to me should be she said....Yes!’ Benjamin enthused.
‘Sure.’ Christopher responded.
‘Take care.’ Ben disconnected the call.
Christopher motioned out of the room and he sank onto the couch. “Soon Jessica, you will be mine.’ He yawned.
He scanned through the images of himself and Jessica over the years but soon he found himself dozing off. He concluded that he must be tired because of the hours spent on board. He didn’t sleep off while on board, all he did was stare at Jessica’s pictures on his phone.
********************
An hour after Christopher had put a call through to his best friend, he woke up from the nap and stretched himself right on the couch.
“Jessica!” The name echoed in his mind.
Christopher sat up abruptly and checked his wrist watch. “Damn it!” He stood up from the couch and dragged the box along to the bedroom.
In preparation for his visit to Jessica’s house, he had the quickest bathe in record and he was done dressing up in four minutes. Even in a bid to look nice and fresh, Christopher made sure that he didn’t ruin any of the designs in the bedroom. He raced out of the apartment, secured the lock and went to the garage to unlock the car hired with the proposal package.
In order not to ruin the whole plan, Christopher called Jessica.
“Hi love.” He said in the sweetest tone he could muster.
“Hi babe.” Jessica sounded the usual way.
“How are you?” Christopher asked.
“I just got back from a trip with my boss. We visited a few local areas. I am so tired.” Jessica yawned.
“Oh! Sorry babe. So do you need me around?” Christopher asked.
“Seriously, days like this I wish you were here with me. Last night, I was so horny and I had to compel my fingers to do justice to my body in the shower. And my muscles are so tensed I think I need a full body massage.” Jessica lamented.
Christopher couldn’t hide his excitement. He was trying so hard not to confess the whole plan to her at that moment.
“I can make it happen. I mean, Everything you ever wish for this minute.”
“Yeah I know. Babe, book me a session at the spa.” Jessica said.
She expected that he would book a session in a five star spa house in Idaho like he always do each time she complained about having a tensed muscles.
“No, I won’t do that this time. Let me be the one to do it. I can make you cum so hard and make you scream my name. I can give you a slow massage while I thrust into you from behind.” He teased her.
“Shit! You just made my panties wet. Stop playing with me, Christopher Crawford.” Jessica heaved a sigh of frustration.
“Guess what?”
“What?”
“I just told you to make a guess.” He chuckled.
“You are swamped with files at the office.” She said.
“It’s far from it. Try again, baby doll.”
“You signed off a new deal.” She tried again.
“No.”
“I can’t try again. I never guess right.” Jessica grumbled.
“Do I get something in return for helping you out?” Christopher asked.
“Alright. I’ll foot the bill for our next date.” Jessica replied.
“No. I want a promise.” Christopher countered.
“What promise?”
“Jess, promise me that you will never leave me because you know how much I love you.” Christopher sounded serious over the phone and she sensed it.
“Listen Jessica, I am serious about—“
“I promise.” Jessica interrupted him.
“I’ll hold on to your promise.” Christopher smiled in satisfaction. Her promise gave him a glint of hope that the proposal plans would turn out well.
“Alright.”
“Good. I am in Idaho and currently on my way to your apartment.” Christopher said calmly.
Jessica giggled. “You must be kidding. Come on Chris! You know how much I yearn to be in your arms again so don’t play with me!”
“I am damn serious, Jess. I will be at your place in ten minutes.” He laughed.
“I won’t believe until I see you. The time starts now.”
Jessica disconnected the call before Christopher could say his next words. He already knew Jessica won’t believe that he is in Idaho.
She chose not to believe because Christopher barely makes out time to visit her in Idaho because of the workload at the corporation.
“I’ll be right there with you, baby doll!” Christopher screamed out as he pressed the horn trying to make a signal to the car ahead.
He marched on the pedals and the car moved at a full speed on the highway.

He pressed the horn to alert her as he drove into the private driveway.Christopher slide out of the car in a hurry and rushed to the porch. But before he could pressed the doorbell, the door opened up revealing Jessica at the entrance with a surprised look on her face.“I made it down here in seven minutes.” He drew her in for an embrace.Jessica withdrew from the embrace and her fist made a hit on his chest.“Ouch! Why did you hit me?”“That serves you right for not telling me you were on the plane.” She folded her arms with a feigned annoyed look on her face.“I just wanted to surprise you!” Christopher tried to hold her hand but she avoided making a contact with him. “Are you mad at me?” He pouted“Of course! If I had known I would have prepared so much for you. But I don’t even have—“He caged her to

He hasn’t been able to fall asleep due to the excitement stirring up inside him. He had stayed awake for over an hour now just watching his girlfriend and listening to her mumbling incoherently in her sleep.“Babe, are you awake?” He asked in a tight whisper.“Hm...you didn’t get any sleep?” Jessica mumbled.Christopher hummed a positive response. He couldn’t dare to close his eyes due to the fact that his subconscious was was at alert because of the proposal plans. He tried to detach from the embrace but Jessica held on to him tightly and she wouldn’t let go.“How long are you staying in Idaho?” Jessica asked.

He cleared his throat to utter the words he had prepared to say to her. “Jessica, I didn’t expect that we would grow so fond of each other. Right? It all started as us being friends and along the line I fell in love with you. No lies, you are the reason behind my laughter and smile. Four years of dating you made me realize one thing, it is that I’ll always want you. I am certain that I can never get tired of you. I am deeply in love with you and I want you in my life forever. I have had many dreams but the greatest one remains to make you my wife. So make my fondest dream a reality. Will you marry me, Jessica Campbell?” Christopher smiled as he uttered those words.

He entered the pub, his eyes scanning the area lightened by colorful lights. His intention was to have good shots of tequila several times until he gets drunk.At least getting drunk would stop him from thinking about Jessica’s rejection and how to deal with his family and the outcome of not being able to meet his father’s condition just to claim his possession.“A bottle of tequila.” Christopher requested when the pub attendant turned to face him.The music booming through the speakers was a bit loud.“A shot of tequila?” The bar man asked just to be sure of the order.Christopher got angry by this question. So out of frustration, he repeated his order louder than the usual tone and taking a break after each word.“I. WANT. A. FUCKING. BO

He placed his right hand on Christopher’s shoulder. He knew he had to comfort his best friend. He already prepared to hear the worst concerning the proposal plans. “She said...No.” Christopher laughed. Benjamin watched as tear slipped down his cheek again. He didn’t know what to say to comfort his best friend. He has never seen Christopher act this way ever since they became friends for more than two decades now. “Come on...” Christopher removed the hand on his shoulder and he stood up. Benjamin was quick to hold him when he lost his balance. “I am fine. Come on...don’t feel bad for me!” Christopher laughed. “Chris—“ “Watch this! Watch me, Ben!” Christopher stood straight before holding the table and he threw one leg over it until he was standing on it. Benjamin tried to stop him but it

Christopher rolled to the right side of the bed. He yawned but closed his mouth abruptly after he felt a sharp pain in his head. Christopher opened his eyes fully and winced in pains as he sat up on the bed slowly. He saw Benjamin staring at him with a tray filled with blended fruits and toast in his hands. “You are awake.” Benjamin walked closer to the bed and handed him a glass of blended fruits. “It is good for hangover.” He stated. “Hangover? Hold on, why are you here?” Christopher demanded when he noticed that Benjamin wore his T-shirt. Benjamin screwed up his face. “You don’t remember?” Christopher blinked in confusion before sipping from the glass of blended of fruits. “Oh! You are so ungrateful! How can you not remember anything after what you put me through last night?! First, I tried c

I didn’t get to see Jacob Miller walk to the field.” Rowan muttered but loud enough for his mother to hear him.Raven stared at her son with her mouth agape. She could hardly believe what she just heard her son say.“Raven.” Eva called.Raven groaned inwardly. “Mom, I thought we agreed to not let him watch football matches that has to do with Jacob Miller anymore.” She said in a tight whisper so Rowan won’t hear their conversation.He couldn’t hear it though because the little boy already had the television on to
