The Playboy's Woman Chapter Nineteen: A good cook
CHAPTER NINETEENBy the time it was noon, Reyna was famished yet she didn’t know if she was supposed to go downstairs to make her meal or wait for Niko to call her. She had been on the phone half the day with Larissa and also checking out investments. After a whole day of searching, she decided that the best thing was getting a professional. Her stomach grumbled for the umpteenth time and she stood up. “We are supposed to live together peacefully right?” She muttered to herself as she opened her room door. She confirmed that no one was on the corridor and tip toed downstairs. “I almost thought you were going to die inside your room.”Niko’s clear and amused voice broke her strides as her face flushed red. She turned back and saw him sitting on one of the sofas with a plate of what looked like roasted chicken in them. Her stomach grumbled at the sight and the sweet scent that wafted to her nostrils. She shot him a glare as she headed into the kitchen.Although she didn’t grow up pri
The Playboy's Woman Chapter Twenty: First Date
CHAPTER TWENTY “You should pay me for experiencing my cooking first hand.” Niko stated as he instructed her on how to cut the vegetables. She was not chatty and a quite relaxing presence to be around. “Well if there’s substantial proof that I really did experience your cooking first hand and can utilize the skills learnt from that luxurious experience, then you can be sure that you would get your due payment and recognition” she ended the statement with a giggle that made Niko take one more look at her. She sounded really nice and her voice was melodic. “Okay, challenge accepted then. Got to teach you how to cook in two years.” He said smiling also.“Of course, you would be getting a doctorate in culinary and cooking after that two years. Quite the number of chefs still need me to help them with some recipes.” Reyna assumed the last part was just him being comical and had no idea that it was the real deal. They were done making breakfast soon enough and the both of them sat down
The Playboy's Woman Chapter Twenty One: One dress?
CHAPTER TWENTY ONE “Are you saying you actually want to take a girl out on a date? Like a date, date?” Kyle asked his eyes widening on the video call while Lucas sat like he was frozen. Anytime Niko wanted his dad to think he was unredeemable, he would call them to help him get some girls and stage like he was being wild in the club or drunk. But never had they ever heard of a real date.“What are you planning this time?” Lucas asked finally coming out of his shock. “My girlfriend” his voice was devoid of emotion. It was clear that he didn’t find their reaction amusing. His words, However, only added to their shock as Kyle coughed loudly. “Are you saying that you have a girlfriend?” “Yes I do.” Is there a problem?” He asked with a raised eye brow. “If you have anything to offer, let me know and not waste time on mindless chatter.” Although he was trying to sound cold, the both of them knew it was the otherwise and just laughed. “You guys can see a movie, you can eat at a high e
The Playboy's Woman Twenty Two: Body like a sin
Shopping was a luxury to Reyna, yet, she made sure that nothing of awe and surprise showed on her face as he led her through one of the most luxurious boutiques she had ever seen. When they had arrived at the front door, Niko had flashed a card at the receptionist before they were allowed in, they were very clear on their customers. “Do we really need to come here?” She muttered her voice barely above a whisper and yet, Niko heard as he turned to look at her an interesting smile hung on his lips. “You don’t like luxury?” He asked stepping back slightly so he could be exactly beside her. As an after thought, he pulled her closer to him by the waist and rested her hands there. All of these actions would help make their relationship more believable. Reyna on the other hand had not been ready for the intimacy and her body took seconds before the stiffening stopped. “Are you sure you don’t want this.” He asked, with how close they were, she was the only one that could hear what he sai
The Playboy's Woman Twenty Three: Crossing boundaries
23Reyna sighed as they stopped in front of a five star restaurant. The kind of place where she was sure that if she wanted to work with them, they would screen her on how she talked and walked. Although she didn’t really fancy things like this, she was being paid to fancy them and so she didn’t complain leaving her signature smile on her face. “I’m betting you would love the food here. Since breakfast was the last meal we ate, I’m guessing that eating dinner would be a smart idea before anything.” Reyna nodded. Now that he mentioned it, she really felt hungry. They enter the restaurant, hand in hand. “Niko!” An excited but masculine voice rang out and the owner of the voice was soon seen as he stepped out from a door that most likely led to their kitchen. “I wanted to make my coming a surprise so you don’t go bonkers before I get here.” Niko said and Reyna was surprised at the bright smile that lit up on his face. He was already very attractive but with his eyes and face smilin
The Playboy's Woman Chapter Twenty Four: Drawing lines
24On the ride to the cinema, Niko noticed how distant and aloof Reyna was but he made no attempt to point it out. Not only was he also uncomfortable about opening up such part of his past, he also wanted her to understand the boundaries despite how much they would try to live together. “Since girls like romance movies, I picked the recent one that has been making the box office smile.” Niko said as they walked to the cash point. Since they just had dinner, Reyna ordered a small box of popcorn just for the motion. She had never been to a cinema after reading about it for so long, she didn’t want to get the experience without her box of popcorn. Niko on the other hand opted for only water as the two them entered the cinema. It was dark inside and Niko reached for her hand as they walked up the steps and guided them to the back. They had entered just in time for the movie. The movie lasted a total of an hour and forty five minutes and while Reyna didn’t really enjoy the story line,
The Playboy's Woman Chapter Twenty Five: Projects and partners
24“You look so good” Larissa exclaimed the moment she saw her best friend. “Well, Alan’s fine now and the doctor had said a donor would be ready in two weeks at most.” She was beaming and all smiles for the first time, Larissa eyes got watery. “I’m so glad this went really well. I always felt like even though you were holding up well that you would just snap one day out of the pressure.” Lisa confessed as she heaved a sigh of relief. Reyna smiled as she wondered the probability of that happening. Regardless, she was glad that she met Niko and she would do her best to not cross boundaries and do her work well. Classes soon started and since they were fashion students, everything was starting to become more of practicals.“Since you have just two months left, we would be rolling out your projects and of course team partners. For fairness, we would only assign people with similar grades together so that some are not dragged down by their team partners. The effective pairing list wou
The Playboy's Woman Chapter Twenty Six: Her background
The more he read, the more Niko felt like he had to be reading a story. How could anyone’s life be this tragic.“Are you sure you have all the data right?” He asked Joe who had just turned the car in the direction of their estate.“I did a lot of cross checking and also asked her father’s personal men. It’s no hidden secret in fact.” Niko suddenly felt like he had been too cold to her. She had been experiencing this? Perhaps that was why she had felt completely empathetic back when they had gone on a date and he had just done the worst by treating her like this.He had personally not had a smooth life but he had his grandfather who had always made his father hesitate in being too extreme with him. His grandfather had also helped him even without him knowing and had only come to know when they were actually older. He went back to look at the pictures again and sighed. Even when she was going through the hardest times, she had looked even more attractive than a regular person. He coul
