My Driver Is A Billionaire

Chapter 11

(Wow... he's really mouth-watering)

*****************

Rafael's POV:

I had the best morning in my entire three long years next to spending time with kids here in this town. I've never expected this but I know that this is it.

The feeling that I am familiar with. Very familiar actually. The feeling that made me smile. That made my heart beat fast.

Mr. Jacob was in the garden swing reading his daily newspaper when I made my entrace at the gate. It's ten in the morning.

"Breakfast is ready for you Raf. How's the run?" He asked me when I sat opposite to him which made it swing recognizing my weight.

"I had a run with Ashley a while ago and she invited me to have breakfast with her and Nana. You should meet her Mr. Jacob. She's a sweet woman and she's a great cook." I told him to divert his attention to Nana and not to me.

"Really? Then invite her for dinner anytime of the week. If it won't bother her to be with us...and of course with the ladies." He seems interested. He's alone for almost seven years now. His wife died of cancer.

"Yes I will tell her tomorrow." I told him. I smile of the thought that I can run with her again tomorrow... and I can see her again.

"So you're going there tomorrow?" He wans to make sure he heard me right.

"Yeah. We'll run again tomorrow. She's amazing. Fit enough to keep her pace with me." I said proudly. She really amazed me. After 3 long years, I got fond of a woman again.

"Oh! It seems that you enjoyed her company. I hope you really did." I know he wants me to be happy again. How I wish it's as easy as a snap of a finger.

"I just find her simply nice. So simple yet fragile. It can't be with her Mr. Jacob." I told him.

"And why is that? What's wrong with her? I can see that she made you smile. That's enough for you to know her more." I feel the fear hearing Mr. Jacob's words. I can't tell him I like Ashley. I don't want to give him high hopes then fail in the end. I don't wanna be hurt again coz I know he'll feel it too.

"Nothing really. Isn't it too early to assume for great things to happen? I mean I just knew her last night. I knew very little about her." I explained what I think is right.

"Then get to know her. It's not wrong for you to explore the possibilities."

"Do I really need this now Mr. Jacob? Do you think I'm ready?" I ask him looking him straight in the eyes.

"Yes Raf. She's who you need and I know you're ready. It's been so long since I've seen that smile in your face and I don't wanna waste the chance of pushing you to your way to happiness." I just listen to him. I got his point and I thought about it.

"Then let's cross our fingers on her. I hope she's who I really need." Is all I need to say to him to brighten his face.

His smile made me smile. I know he's happy.

I tap his shoulder before I left him in the swing. I went up and took a shower. The thought of Ashley in her silk night gown made my body ache. God knows how I stopped my self this morning. I surpressed the urge within me to take the distance between us and hold her in my arms.

He made me crave for her touch. Crave to hold her in my bed. To feel his body with mine. She's leading me to insanity.

I let the cold water ease the heat I feel in my aching body. I feel better after a while. I change to a white shirt and an old denim pants. I went to the library which is adjacent to my room on the third floor of the house. I have work to do and phone calls to make.
