A scandal with Mr CEO

Chapter 25

Kiara

I woke up to the feeling of something hard against my upper arm. It came in repeated taps and each time I felt it, it drew me further away from my sweet slumber. I moved away from it, hoping it would go away till I felt it increase in frequency and the distant call of my name.

"Come on, wake up already"

"Leave me alone" When my eyelids separated, there was a blurry figure in my view. "Where am I?"

"Heaven"

"What?"

When my vision got clear, Antonio was in my view. One of his fingers tapped my arm repeatedly while the other hand was shaking me awake. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed and an irritated look was evident on his face. The effort to wake me himself without having Luke or Regina do it caused my unserious self to chuckle awake.

"Seriously? It takes you this long to wake up?"

"It's justifiable"

"You've been sleeping for four hours"

"Exactly my point"

"You can't afford to be so loose Kiara. Anything could've happened"

"Like what? Someone teleports into the plane? It's not that serious" I stood up with a long stretch and adjusted my now rumpled dress. You know that feeling when you wake up from a long nap, the feeling of extreme tiredness from resting.

Antonio would never understand cause all he does is work all day. It also explains why he was already walking away, even before I gathered my stuff. I peeked out the window and I noticed we were back on land which could only mean one thing.

Puerto Rico.

For the first time in my life, if I may add.

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding as I gazed at the wide space before me. The fresh warm air of the beautiful afternoon was welcoming against my skin, part of which was blocked because Antonio stood by the exit.

"Can you move?"

The look he gave back made me realize our friendship moment ended with the flight. Besides, a few people were waiting to welcome him, the act must go on

"Oh, I get it. Good wife mode activated"

Antonio took steps down the stairs and I followed like a lost puppy, which is kinda true cause I don't know a thing about this place. The breeze, on the other hand, wasn't the nicest on my dress. I had to deal with not having my underwear on display, maintaining composure, and not falling at the same time.

When I was a few stairs to the bottom, Antonio held out his hand to me like the gentleman he was.
