Clara woke up that day with a bouquet of flower at the end of her bed. Instead of the usual white floral, this time there was an arrangement of red carnations. She reached out to it, turned out there was an attachment around the base, it was a hard cover letter, embossed in gold lettering. What a silly thing to give informally. It was so Raphael. He was always a predictable romantic. She flipped open the letter, finding another attachment. It was a note of apology along with an invitation for breakfast at the balcony.
Clara had no idea what else Raphael was planning, with gentle force, she pushed her leg out from bed, headed straight to the bathroom to freshen herself. She washed her face, brushed her teeth, put on her morning moisturizer followed by a quick hair brushing. Still in her comfy white satin pajamas she walked out from her room and saw a
"A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you've been taking." -Earl Wilson- *** Within three hours they were heading to the airport. Raphael had booked two first class tickets, of course, someone as high caliber as he was, he needed to give her the utmost luxurious experience. All she had to do was to follow along. It was her first time flying first class. The service for those in the upper class as soon as she arrived, the flight attendant had guided them to their seat at the front part of the plane. They said money could not buy happiness. For Clara, what she saw before her was already a minor sign of happiness. Their seat acted double as bed, there were some complimentary drinks and snacks served right after they were seated. They had their privacy, since the first class was reserved only for those who were willing to pay for it, which were not that many. On the cushion while watching some news
"Dance with the waves, move with the sea. Let the rhythm of the water set your soul free." -Christy Ann Martine- *** After breakfast, they headed back to their room with full stomach. It was quite delightful to be accompanied by the ocean and it was a pleasant change of scenery for both of them. However, the day did not stop there. It merely marked the beginning of their unforgettable trip together. Closing the door, she headed straight on the bed, plumping down her body onto the bed creating a puff sound while Raphael took a seat beside her on the bed, stretching and relaxing his muscle as well. It felt so comfortable after flying for over a day long. Good thing they flew first class to begin with, otherwise she might strain her back from too much sitting. In the meantime, as they laid in bed curling up in the comfort, they discussed about their plan together that day, though there were many exciting places they woul
"A man who is right by your side through everything makes you happy. But he can leave your side to make dinner once in a while." -Faith Hill- *** "Every woman deserves to feel beautiful. With our new hybrid night cream with hyaluronic acid and green tea extract to brighten your complexion. Hydrate and nourish your skin as you sleep, and wake up to a soft supple skin. Indulge in the experience yourself today, because you deserve the best" Jovanna moved her fingers alluringly as she held the tube in her hand. The studio lighting enhanced her light complexion making her skin appear brighter. There was also a fan on the side that added the flowing hair effect to the scene. "And cut" a small round of applause was heard from the director. He smiled in satisfaction as he saw how the shoot had turned out. As expected from a world class model, her facial expression matched perfectly with the request. They had not regretted making her
"There's nothing deader than a dead love."-Leona Helmsley-***"Check out the link I sent you" the message was short and straight to the point. She opened it up and clicked on the link, it took her straight to a celebrity gossip page to an article about Raphael and Clara in Bora – Bora.The headline was written as following;"DESROCHES' HEIR SECRET LOVE!?"Jovanna saw a picture of Raphael and Clara in the bikini. In the picture Raphael was pulling Clara close to him after she fed the stingray, the two had their skin touching each other. Jovanna furrowed her brow as read the news, it started with an explanation about the picture, then there were some speculations regarding her identity alongside a dramatized portrayal of their relationship. It's a public secret that the media would often exaggerate things in order to gain more clicks and views. Yet the picture appeared to be real, captured on the location with
"A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight." -Oscar Wilde- *** The sound of ocean crashing in the evening radiated tranquility throughout the shore, accompanied by the different hues of red and purple painting the sky as the sun set down and the dusk arrived from its slumber, picturing the perfect atmosphere for a romantic date, even someone who previously had lacked romantic attitude knew not to waste the moment. That night was their last day in paradise before they had to return to reality, he wanted to create a lasting impression of their stay together for her, that was why he had arranged a perfect dinner for both of them, one which he was sure would greatly impress her. He held Clara's hand as they walked on a bridge which served as a pathway to a private open air restaurantdirectly facing the ocean. It was a different place than the one they had when they first arrived, this time the place was exclus
"Sometimes it feels so good to just sit by yourself, relax and not talk to anyone." -Kristen Butler- *** The world has always been such a busy place. Filled with so many chaos and conflicts. Amid the noise, one has to find way to create peace within themselves. Everyone had their own way to coping with the madness in everyday life, for Celine Desroches, it was through her self-care routine. Celine was a perfectionist, for her, the evening ritual was as sacred as her work. Having an entire gold and white themed master bathroom with marble decorations, an entire large bathtub that could fit two people, completed with water massage options and a large wine tray for the bathroom had come as an advantage to her. She ran the warm water down and poured the whole bottle of rose and lavender bubble bath liquid into the tub to give that relaxing yet romantic vibe to the water. As she liked to make sense of it. Previously, she had also
"Before facing your enemy, you must first face yourself." -Tite Kubo- *** Clara had been sitting in her desk for hours typing in a proposal for the company's next project. It was a completely different experience compared to what she was used to. Before she would spend hours painting with her right brain in maximum usage, but this time she allowed her left brain to play around a bit. She had been working with Corentin for a whole month and so far she had been enjoying herself, the only thing that felt strange to her was mostly sitting in front of a computer roughly eight hours a day, for some people it might not be that big of a deal but even before when she was still dealing with her family's business, she often incorporated manual methods which she had to admit, was far less effective than using a computer. Besides that though, everyone around her had treated her well, she had no idea if it was because she was a clo
"There are three things all wise man fears. The sea in storm, a night with no moon and the anger of a gentleman." -Patrick Rothfuss- *** He was furious that someone dared to try and lay a hand on his loved one. Raphael was not one to easily lose his temper but when it came down to Clara he could unleash the devil within who was not scared of hurting anyone for her. "Whatdo you think youare doing?" his deep voice sounded angry. Gisellehad no idea what it was about him, but she found herself scared of theman, of course she would not let it show through. At the same time, another sound offootsteps echoed in the air. Corentin arrived and found Raphael holding Giselle's hand mid-air, he knew right away what was going on. He hurriedly stood by Clara's side, checking her to make sure she was nothurt, and when he confirmed she was fine, he turned to Giselle. Corentin was equally asfurio
