5 Years Later**
“Muuummmm!!” May screamed, as soon as the video call got connected.
Sandra smiled, warmly.
“Look at her, always disturbing me with video calls. How’s school?”
“Uurgh! Stressful. Can’t wait to graduate. By the way, Mum. Your face is glowing. People might think we are sisters now” May smiled.
Sandra chuckled.
“I know he’s there” Sandra suddenly said..
“What?…Who?” May stammered.
“Ray,, of course. Must he always come to your hostel? I guess your love is strong, huh?” Sandra said.
May chuckled nervously. She looked at the front,, where her bed was.
“Chef god,, you can come out now. My mom knows you are here”
“You still call him that?” Sandra laughed.
“Of course. He’s an amazing chef and his skill is a likeness to a god”
“Whatever… Where are you, Ray. You’d better show your face right now or I won’t accept you two love!”
“I’m here!” Raymond quickly said, and showed his face. He had a smile on his face.
“Good,, that’s more like it” Sandra said.
“How are you doing, Ma’am?” He asked.
“Great. What about you? and your cooking skills? and your motive in opening franchises over the world?” Sandra asked.
“Everything is going smoothly. I’m so happy. I’ve received a lot of sponsors and endorsement lately. Even contracts”
“Whoaa. May, you got to marry him!”
“I know right. Guess you are gonna accept him after all?” May winked.
“Sure,, sure!” Sandra quickly said.
“By the way,, I have something to tell you” Sandra cleared her throat.
May and Raymond exchanged curious glances before looking back at Sandra on the screen.
“What’s it about?” May asked.
“Tada! I got engaged!” Sandra gushed, showing her finger, which had a diamond ring on it.
“Huh? Really! You got to be kidding me” May wide-ned her eyes.
Raymond was surprised.
“Is it West?” He asked.
May looked at Raymond.
“My mother rejected West ever since. He’s now married with Amy and he also owns an agency. West marriage is blessed with twins…” May said.
“Whoa! So, tell us. Who’s the lucky guy?” Raymond said.
“Paxton,, Come here” Sandra gestured.
A man, who was in his late 40s,, but handsomely made and built came to the picture wearing a deluxe suit. He smiled when he saw them,, expo-sing his de-ep dimples.
“Hi, May. Hi, Ray… Heard a lot about you” He said, with his Se-xy de-ep voice.
“Hello, Mr Paxton. Well, You are now engaged to my mum?”
Paxton kizzed Sandra’s li-ps and looked at the screen.
“Do I nee-d to say it now?”
May smiled.
“He’s a total vibe,, I like him”
“Me too” Raymond said.
“So, guys. I and Percy arranged our weddings on the same day. Though,, that would be next year. We want you both there,, okay?” Sandra said.
“Okay Mum..” May said.
“No problem about that, Ma’am” Raymond smiled.
“Huh?…Mum?” May called.
“Yes, hunny?”
“Ryder. How’s he faring?”
“Ryder? That filthy rich dude. Well, it is,, what it is” Sandra giggled.
The Harts’ Company**
Ryder walked into the company elegantly. He had three men on suits with him,, including Faye, his beautiful and ha-rd working secretary who came from a poor home.
Ryder brushed his hair with his hand before pocketing both hands. His suit, tie, black stockings and shoes are exotic. He’s handsome as always, and glows even better.
Faye tried walking fas-ter, to catch up with him. He entered his office and Faye followed. His men stood outside.
Ryder sat down and looked up at Faye. She was pa-nting already. He just walks too fast…
She looked up and him, and nearly flinched cause he has this look that kind of scared her.
“Huh… Your contract deals came early so,, I-
“You wanna go on a date with me?” Ryder asked, quickly.
“Wh…at?” Faye stuttered.
“Go on a date with me” He said.
Faye looked at him de-eply and blinked her eyes.
“Let me think about it, sir”
Ryder smiled and stretched his arm towards her. She stretched,, wanting to hand the contract to her but he shook his head.
“Your hand” He muttered.
Faye swallowed ha-rd, and stretched her other free hand towards him. Ryder took hold of her small fair hand. He fondled with it before raising it to his li-ps. He kizzed it and looked at her.
“I’m gonna be waiting. I’ve had my eyes on you since day one. Guess why I made you my secretary despite having all the greatest women at my desk during the interview”
Faye stared into his staring eyes de-eply.
“Okay then..Let’s go out” She muttered.
“Yesss!” He gushed and stood up. He carried her, and swirled her around. She giggled and he stooped. Afterwards, they shared a hot and de-ep kizz.
A Year Later**
The wedding was about to begin. Many people were discussing, laughing and walking around…
“Have your seat now. We are about to begin” They all heard the MC say.
They all looked back and saw Mrs Hart linking onto Percy’s arm,, while Raymond’s arm was linked with Sandra. They both wore beautiful wedding dresses,, though the two were different. Their makeup were too good,, to be true,, yet simple and natural.
“Oof,, Gurl,, I’m nervous” Sandra whispered at Percy.
“Me too” She whispered back.
They raised their eyes to see Carlos and Paxton looking at them, with smiles on their faces.
***
“You both may now kizz your bride” The Reverend said, after they had all answered their vows and promises.
Paxton and Sandra shared R0m-ntic glances, before crashing their li-ps together into a de-ep kizz.
Percy and Carlos did same. Everyone shouted happily,, taking shots.
Wedding Dance***
“Meet my girlfriend,, y’all” Ryder smiled.
“Wow,, she’s beautiful” May complimented.
“Thank you” Ryder said.
“What’s your name?” May asked her.
“I’m Faye”
“Wow. I’m May”
Faye opened her eyes wi-dely.
“Heard a lot about you from Ryder. You are his first love?”
May looked at Raymond, who folded his li-ps.
“I guess”
“Raymond? I think the girls have a lot to talk about. Let’s go take some drinks and talk”
“I agree” Raymond said.
“No,, you don’t! Raymond has a dance with me and you have one too, with Faye” May said, quickly.
“Okay… Okay…” Ryder surrendered.
He looked at Faye who smiled warmly at him.
“A dance, Mi lady?” He asked, stretching his hand.
“Sure,, Mi armor” She winked, and accepted his hand.
They walked away, and went to the dancing floor.
“Let’s go, Mi Lady…
“Not now” Sandra cut them short.
“Yup!” Percy agreed.
“What’s it now?” May asked, and looked at them.
“We are running out of food” Sandra said, and Percy nodded.
“You do know, what best we are good, in making right?” Raymond uttered.
“Sure… Sure… We nee-d a lot of Italian Cuisines” Percy said.
“Hurry along now… Everything is in the kitchen” Sandra said.
“Oh geez” May lamented.
Raymond smiled, held her hand and walked away.
In the Kitchen**
“I think this sauce is too bland” May said, tasting the sauce, which was in her mouth.
“Wait,, let me taste taste” Raymond said.
“Sure,, here’s the spoon” May said.
“Not that way” Raymond smiled, and carried her up to the cu-pboard.
“Hey,, what are you doing-
“Ssh” He hushed her.
May looked at him. He raised his li-ps to hers. His arms were around her wa-ist. May’s legs went around his wa-ist,, and entangled right there. Her hands were around his shoulder.
In time,, they found their li-ps melting into each other. They p@$$ionately kizzed each other before Raymond pulled his tongue away.
“Didn’t taste the sauce well” He said.
May smiled at him, and placed another small spoonful on sauce on her tongue. She brou-ght it and Raymond quickly seized her tongue into his mouth.
From there, he kizzed her,, allowing his li-ps dive in and out of her mouth. They almost went to heaven but May shouted…
“Hey,, the sauce! Before it gets burnt!”
May jumped down.
Raymond quickly opened the pot and heaved.
“Phew! That was a close call. The salt please..” He said.
“Why? Is it bland?” May asked.
“Yup. Tasted it right there” He smiled at her and she chuckled.
He began to add salt on the sauce, and May quickly hu-gged him from behind. She rested her head against his back.
“I love you, Chef god” She whispered.
“I love you, May goddess” He whispered back.
“Awwnnn!” She blus-hed.
“Awwn…Awwnn” He teased.
“Hey,, stop…” She chuckled.
“Won’t! Awwn…Awwnn”
“No back hu-gs for you then” She slowly took her hand away but he quickly held it at the front,, on his stomach.
“No,, please. Gosh,, I just love you so much,, May”
“Me too, Ray…” She smiled,, hu-gging him again.
3 Years Later**
May was now a judge. Everyine knew her all around Italy, UK, USA, London, China, Japan, Thailand and Korea.
While Raymond became a famous and exotic chef. He owned franchises restaurants almost all over the world.
Not only did he specialize in Italian cuisines only,, He specialized in lots of nationwide dishes.
Sandra and Peyton marriage was a sweet one. They were blessed with a male child and Percy and Carlos lovely marriage was blessed with a female child.
Ryder didn’t stop loving Faye,, despite their many fights and quarrels. They still got back together. Boss and Secretary life wasn’t an easy one,, though it was very R0m-ntic… An office R0m-nce was a good one.
West’s marriage didn’t fade away. His twins,, two boys grew up to wonderful children.
Well,, As for Sasha and Marcus,, They left Korea to France to start a lucrative business,, a few weeks after May and Raymond went to Italy. Sasha actually went there to study and learn French. They only heard and saw them throu-ghthe phone. Their relationship was still a strong one, though.
To make it short and simple, Everyone was happy.
9 Months Later**
From the supreme and high seat May sat, she saw the rapist who disV¡rgined her mother. Her heartless father.
He was drunk that night,, after a fight with his wife and met Sandra on the way home,, before acting his devilish plan on her. He was Italian…
May brou-ght back the case, and the cops had no option but to dig more on it. Finally and thorou-ghly,, they got the culprit.
Everyone was present on the court day,, everyone including Sasha and Marcus. Sandra eyes were down,, but Paxton was there for her.
Everyone waited for the final say…
“Now,, I declare Mr. Bill,, guilty and according to the law,, without any compensation or fine,, he’s to face 10 years in prison” May said, and hit the gavel on her desk.
Just then,, a tear fell. She looked up and saw Raymond smiling at her. A tear also fell down his eyes.
The dead had been done… Finally.
THE END.
