"We should join them soon, before Ace decides to come here himself…"All three of them stood up and joined them to play different games which went down with Rachel and Yandel being all competitive with each, and it wasn't the cute type of competition, it was the competitive bitterness when the other lost. They left the glow hockey and finally decided to go to the bowling alley section when they formed three groups, Amy and Ricky, Yandel, Rachel and Ace and the twins, they debated having an official lunch before or after the game but then after the game won the vote and the team with the lowest points got to pay for lunch. Yandel and Rachel went to get the bowling shoes for them while the rest waited by the benches close to the pit."Good afternoon, ma'am." Yandel greeted the mid fifty looking woman behind the counter, he didn't expect such an elderly woman to work in a place like this, at léast not the counter."I know what you are thinking, I'm just covering for my son who had an a
Chapter 48: Rachel's past memories"You got this," Yandel whispered in her ear, as he gently brushed her hair behind her ears, she could hear a faint "woo!" from someone, probably Ricky but right now all she felt was Yandel's hand around her and his steady heart beat. It all felt to be really slowing down time taking a deep breath, she took the shot, she watched it roll slowly down towards the gutter before rolling back to the center knocking down all the pins.A huge surge of happiness consumed her as she squealed shouting yes, she turned around and jumped on Yandel who was also wearing a wide grin on his face, he lifted her up as swung her around and she she kissed him on the check not really registering what she just did, but in that very moment, it all felt right.Yandel's deep voice deep in her ears and his strong arms around her as he spinned her around before dropping her back on the floor, after the whole victory celebration dance they both turned back to the group to see all
"You guys make a really cute couple," Angela said, smiling at both of them.A huge pause reigned over them as they both stared awkwardly at each other then at Angela who didn't catch the awkward cue, instead continued smiling sweetly at both of them as if it was a totally normal thing to do.Yandel looked back at Rachel who had a small smile on her face, she really looked prettier in casual clothes than she did in her business attire. From the little show they put on back at the bowling site, his hands still felt warm. He knew he was nowhere near getting over this woman, and at the same time, he couldn't afford to lose what they had as friends, thinking back to all the times he had treated her badly or mocked her reserved and timid character.First time he legit saw her was at a fundraiser back in Berlin where she went with her parents, they were both fresh grads from the top notch business school all their parents went to. He was with Maya as his date and she was able to attend beca
Xander sat deep in thoughts in his office, tomorrow was the dinner between his family and the Garcia's, and he couldn't lie, anytime he thought about the mere thought, he felt sick in his stomach and a dark cloud of dread over his head, He could clear hear his Dad's voice in his head and he could remember the day he was told he would be engaged."Dad, you called me?" Xander said, as he stood at the entrance of his Father's study, the doors were made of huge dark mahogany wood with some ancient carvings on it, the whole house itself was two century years old owned by his great great great great grandpa Miller. He built the house of smart taxes and IFF rates then according to his grandfather, the house was passed down the line from son to son, even though they still had several mansions in several cities and countries, this was the most visited one. He didn't bond well with his father while growing up due to his father always running the business and sometimes his mother would tag alo
"You are a genius babe," Xander whispered against Alice's lips, smiling. That was the perfect plan. Typically, there is the unsaid law every elite knows. Once there is a fundraiser, every other plan has to be canceled and business Moguls have to be in attendance even though it is on very short notice. Rich people are weird, I know.Readjusting his shirt and tucking in the loose part that got out while making out, he left the front of the desk where he had placed Alice while making out, he went to sit on his off-white leather seat office chair. He decided to make a quick call to his mother to spread the word and start the planning, even though it was on short notice. He knew that was not going to be her focus, the mere thoughts of her planning the fundraiser will take her mind off it."No babe, we were in the middle of something," Alice whined, turning around to look at him on his seat with pouty red lips hoping to make him come back and finish what he started, she was just getting i
Rachel, Amy, Ricky and Yandel exited the bowling alley which led to the parking lot, it was thirty five minutes past five and the twins were not yet back from the ice cream shop they claimed was just a ten minutes drive from here."Are you sure your siblings didn't kidnap my brother?" Rachel asked, getting worried as she looked at the time again and looked into the parking lot, Yandel's car was still absent from the space it initially occupied and people had already started to leave the arcade as the drive back into the city was another fifteen minutes journey, making the total journey almost a thirty minute plus journey for her.The sun was already setting, casting a dark orange tint on the car roofs in the parking lot.Would Araceli take a satisfying selfie out here or was she expected to?Rachel battled with herself internally, she was yet to check her instagram again even though she wasn't in charge of it."Why are you so worried? By the way, the twins look wild but I'm sure they
Ace came down from the car still actively talking to Ethan as they came down from the car after him, Emily just kept laughing and giggling as they inched towards them, they held white plastic bags in their hands as they met up with them."Ricky and Amy aren't coming over?" Ethan asked as he saw their ride zoom off."Oh no, one has to see his needful boyfriend and the other has to work night shifts," Rachel clarified to both of them."Yandel, did you ask her please?" Ace asked, pulling at Yandel's shirt."Yeah, but she hasn't actually said yes or no," Yandel replied, before turning to meet Araceli who's lost look gave away her lack of knowledge on the subject at hand."Ask me what?" Rachel asked, confused as Yandel made the expression "unbelievable" before slapping his hands to his forehead."So the rumors are true huh, You really do have fish brains ," Yandel sassed, chuckling."No I don't, what are you even saying?" Rachel asked, even more confused."I asked you if Ace can stay over
"Maya…" She pointed straight ahead."Argh!!" Yandel screamed.The headlights of the Rachel's car casted its highlights on her, highlighting her cheek bones and red lipstick giving her a look like maleficent. Her hair was held back in a tight pony which helped to highlight her facial features even more."Why does she look like Maleficent when we just crossed her territory," Rachel whispered to Yandel."She looks fucking scary," Yandel said, locking his side of the door."No shit, get down you fucking pussy, she's your childhood friend," Rachel countered, unlocking the door back.Yandel slowly came down from the car, looking at a scary looking Maya, she was wearing black jeans with high boots and a red flannel crop shirt, to think that she is mostly sweet and nice most of the time didn't come to mind. Ever since Emily and Araceli told him about the possibilities of Maya being in love with him which he still found ridiculous of course, he didn't think things will be that weird between t
