Threads of Destiny

Chapter 8

It's been weeks now since me and Freen fix the issue between us. She is doing all her best to live to her promise not to do stupid things that will upset me. 

I really admire Freen in how she handles her business and most of the time she gives me some inputs that I will surely be able to use in my own business. Freen is also trying to convince me to set up an office here in Thailand, but I am still hesitant. I am not that confident yet that I will thrive in this part of the world. 

It's Friday today and we both don't have work tomorrow, or shall I say Freen made sure that we will be free tomorrow. She told me that we will be going somewhere but she is not telling me the exact place. She just told me that I will surely enjoy there.

That's what I really like about her, she makes sure to know what I want and always have her way to surprise me. Like right now, she just came home and brought a bouquet of red roses that I really love.

She said it will help me relax since I had so much stuff in my hand earlier.

I am back with her in her place. She insisted. She told me she wants me safe and she wants to take care of me.

She takes care of me so much and it usually makes my heart skip. I really love how she show me how much I mean to her.

Freen also means so much to me. I want her to myself. Tell me I am selfish, but I really don't care.

Freen's POV

I am driving now, while my beloved Patricia sits comfortably beside me, scrolling through photos on her phone. I'm taking her to a place she's dreamed of visiting since we were kids. She always talked about wanting to go camping, and I found a safe site for us. My security team scouted it beforehand and gave me the all-clear. They'll remain discreetly on standby.

I always want Becky to be happy, and her smile puts me at ease.

We're traveling in my customized Ford Defender, equipped for camping, to ensure Becky feels safe and comfortable. We'll set up our own tent, and I've made sure we have everything we need. The campsite caretaker mentioned that forest animals sometimes pass through, but assured me they're harmless to campers.

-----------------------------------

Becky was enthusiastic about setting up the tent. As soon as we unpacked, she jumped right in, helping me arrange our gear. She was meticulous, making sure everything was in its place, from the sleeping bags to the camping stove. Her excitement was contagious, and we worked together seamlessly, like a well-oiled machine.

After the tent was up and our campsite was organized, Becky surprised me by volunteering to start the bonfire. At first, I was hesitant. I knew she had never built one before, and the thought of her handling matches and kindling made me nervous. But she was determined, her eyes sparkling with eagerness. "I've watched enough videos online," she said with a laugh, "I know what I'm doing."

Seeing her so excited, I couldn't say no. I handed her the matches and watched as she carefully built a small teepee of twigs and kindling. She struck a match, and with a few patient tries, a small flame flickered to life. She shielded it with her hands, gently blowing on it to encourage it to grow. Her concentration was intense, her brow furrowed in focus.

To my relief and pride, the fire caught and started to burn brightly. Becky's face lit up with triumph. "I did it!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands together. I couldn't help but smile at her accomplishment. She looked at me with a mix of pride and happiness, and I felt a surge of affection for her.
