The person in charge offered them a welcoming smile before showing them the couch to sit. One of the girls in the room got up and offered them tea while the other brought out a registrar to take down their names.
"Good evening Mr. Baldwin, how may I help you today?" The thirty something year old man with black hair, hazel eyes and thin straight lips asked. He was wearing a designers shirt and navy blue pant, he looked professional and his clothes spoke of quality.Raymond often come to them for his cloth to be customized so it's not a shock they know him "how is the business Bob?""Great, we are approaching the season" Bob smiled "so what do you want this time, the usual?""We want couple outfit" Felicity answered.Bob looked at her and smiled "and this is your rumored wife, she is even more beautiful than they say" he praised with his eyes lingering on her face.Raymond noticed that and frowned "thank you Bob, it's good that you know she is my wife" he stretched t"When am I pregnant?" Felicity asked.Hana looked at Raymond surprised "little Ray, how come little Lee doesn't know she is pregnant, didn't you tell her?""I was about asking the same thing" Desmond said looking at Raymond too."Grandma, grandpa, Felicity has been feeling kind of sick lately..." Raymond began."I was?" Felicity interrupted.Raymond faced her "darling, don't you remember? What are we going to do with this your forgetful memory" he released a dramatic sigh."Forgetful? But aunt Katy always say..." Felicity wanted to defend herself when Raymond pressed his index finger on her lips.He smiled "it's alright, it's very expected from a pregnant woman" he chuckled. Felicity wanted to speak but his finger on her lips pressed tighter and she said nothing. Raymond turned to his grandparents with a light chuckle "we went to the hospital just this morning before coming here that's why she doesn't know about her pregnancy. We will get the result when leaving
When Raymond got home that day, he had dinner with Felicity before following her into her room.Felicity was surprised and she asked him out of her excitement "are you sleeping with me today little Ray?"Raymond stilled for a moment but he smiled later "no, not today.""Oh" a trace of disappointment was clear on her face "why are you here then?""I want to talk to you" his fingers traced her face involuntarily, realizing what he was doing, he dropped his hand. Just why is it that she makes him wants to be gentle with her, no woman has ever derived such feelings from him and he is not sure he likes it. He can't lose to Katherine by loving Felicity right?"What is it?""I talked with aunt Katy today.""Why?""Do you remember the day we went to grandparents house?" When she nodded, he continued "we talked in the car about you having a miscarriage right?""Yes" she whispered."Don't worry, it's fake okay?" He smiled "we will have it tomorrow. Grandma
The days were passing and Felicity still has said nothing. Raymond finds it hard to focus whenever he was away from the house. He keeps on thinking on what to do to liven her up but yet, he has got nothing.A knock resounded on his door and Morris entered, "sir, Mr. Harrison is here.""Did I scheduled a meeting with him?""Yes sir. The appointment had been fixed since last month.""Find a way to tell him that I can't meet him now.""But sir, he is...""Morris, I can't meet anybody today, don't you get it?""Yes sir. I will talk to him" he left the office.Raymond heaved a deep sigh and wiped his face with his palms. He can't believe he put Felicity in her condition, the thought alone was killing him.Morris entered his office again "I managed to explain to him sir, he said you should call him when you are free."Raymond only nodded."Sir, I have been thinking, what if you try taking her to the places she love" that got him Raymond's attention "you se
Why is it that Felicity nice curves is driving him out of his mind and he really wants to take her but not for pleasures but to keep? What's so special about her?She is most definitely not his type of woman, she is too childish and easily coerced.She has a tendency to forgive easily when promised just an ice cream or a cake.She laughs over anything whether funny or not.She worries if she sees a single frown on his face.She sulks if he just as much as told her to leave him alone.She blushes when he flirts with her.She looks away bashfully if he shows a little affection to her.Her eyes lit up just as the sight of him.She doesn't hesitate to act cute when he is around.And right now, she is stuffing ice cream on her face that always remind him just how much of a child she is.But why, why is it that all those things he mentioned is what that draws him to her?Why does he have this urge to wipe away that cream on her nose?Why does he want
Time flew by and it was Felicity's birthday already. Raymond because he had promised, threw her a birthday party. Katherine had been surprised when he carried on with that. He hadn't been so kind or caring towards Felicity as he had been earlier, so forgive her for being shocked when he threw her the party.Due to Katherine not knowing a lot of people and Felicity not having friends, it became his duty also to invite guests and he did to those he knew who are mostly, models, celebrities and business tycoons. Desmond and Hana invited family friends since it was their granddaughter in-law birthday. Raymond's parents couldn't make it again and they weren't surprised. To fit into Felicity's description, there was a dress code, women in ball gowns and men in tuxedoes.Raymond had told himself times without numbers that he won't wear the couple outfits with her but he found himself putting on the male wear on the big day. Mercy had been shocked silly when she saw him coming down the
"Little Ray, I don't...feel...so good" Felicity mumbled in the man's arms."What the hell Philip?" He raged and took Felicity from his arms."Easy man, I didn't do anything. I only offered her a glass of wine, is all" he raised his hands as he tried to explain the situation."A wine? Why in the world will you give her wine?" Raymond demanded."Chill man, she is an adult okay. She did say her aunt never let's her take one and I thought she was joking. I never knew one glass will get her drunk.""Really? So if I haven't arrived now, you wouldn't have done anything?""Come on man, give me some credit. I'm old enough to not get my friend's wife drunk just to sleep with her okay. If I want sex there are a lot of ladies in there who are ready to hook up with me anytime. I only came out her to chat with her, you are so secretive and you never brings her out with you. I just wanted to get to know her and know why you don't want anyone to meet her.""Did you satisfy your
Katherine froze when she heard what she said."Little Ray did what?" She asked to be sure."Little Ray slept with me last night" Felicity looked at her "I guess I'm dizzy because I'm pregnant.""But how can you know you are pregnant? I mean, since he slept with you only last night.""But Grace said if husband and wife sleep together, she will be pregnant. Little Ray slept with me last night" she beamed at Katherine "don't worry aunt Katy, you are going to be a grandaunt.""This is unbelievable" Katherine whispered, she stared at Felicity who was sitting on the bed and smiling happily, she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Raymond slept with Felicity? She thought he said she is not his type? No, wait a minute "Felicity, I'm your aunt right?""Of course.""Good" she sat beside her on the bed "can you tell me what little Ray did to you last night?"Hearing her aunt question, Felicity remained silent, she could remember what Raymond told her about not tellin
"Katherine listen, Felicity is not a baby anymore, goodness she turned twenty five yesterday. These are the things she should have been aware of already, we are just trying to bring her into the world" Mercy defended."Well, I don't want her too.""Katherine listen to yourself, you want Felicity to get better, to be the woman she is supposed to be but you won't even let her. You keep treating her like a child" Mercy raised her voice a little."She is a child!" Katherine shouted."No she is not, you are the one treating her like one. If only you will let her socialize with her peers, if only you will let her go to school, believe me Felicity would have been a woman by now because there are something's you can't teach her but she would have learnt in school. Girls her age would have brushed her up. School would have taught her a lot of things, a lot of things she doesn't know now. The doctor says she is no longer in shock but she still acts like a child, that's because you
