29 224

Yoko’s POV:

Everyone was feeling a bit sleepy after sharing the appetizing and flavorful meal that were served to us. So the IDF team decided to take a short rest before meeting some fashion editor.

Both Carlo and Mario were kind enough to assist us and lead the group to our designated rooms.

It seems like everybody was in a hurry to go to their room and take a power nap before the next company engagement which is a few hours from now.

Miss Aashna lead me to the elevator off to the second floor of the mansion where I’m guessing our room is. I’m carrying little Rafa with me since he’s a little sleepy already after the full course meal that we had.

There was, I would say an awkward but a calming silence in the elevator as we were heading up to room 224. When door lift opened, luxury and class speaks itself as I see how beautiful and elegant the hallway of the second floor leading up to each of the room. From the floor, to the ceiling, to the paintings, to the furnitures that are carefully placed in the different areas of the walkway.

Finally, here we are standing in front of a huge door and behind it is a room that will temporarily give us privacy from the teasing eyes of our friends along with the staff and crew.

Miss Aashna placed her thumb on the door scanner and the room slowly opened .... The room presents a luxurious, intimate, serene yet sophisticated, fresh and inviting vibe. It was a huge yet fabulous and a restful master bedroom space.

There was a king sized bed with a mini bed side table on each side of the crib, a fully functional office table, some wardrobe cabinets, a huge flat screen TV mounted at the center of the concrete wall with a PS5 set-up underneath it, a sofa and  a patio overlooking the vast garden. The very spacious bathroom could not be overlooked either complete with bath tub and a mini jacuzzi on the side plus a his and her sink paired with a vanity cabinet fully stocked with beauty products and  other toiletries.

I slowly placed Rafa on the bed making sure he will not be awaken even with the slightest move that I make.

“All of our luggages have been delivered Nong Yo and if you need anything just feel free to ask me or you can use the intercom mounted on the wall near the door. You and Rafa can sleep on the bed, I’m okay with using the sofa.” Miss Aashna informed me.

“Nonsense! This is your house Miss Aashna, it’s a huuuuge bed, I’m sure you, Rafa and I will fit just fine. Plus I don’t bite Miss Aashna.”….”Unless you want me to.” I whispered to myself.

Faye/ Aashna: “What? ....  You were saying…”

Yoko: “I said your bed is huge, I’m sure even if we call the other six weirdos , there’s still enough space for everyone.”

I unpacked my things from my luggage trolley and carefully arranged them in the closet. I also volunteered to do the same for Rafa’s personal things.

I decided to take a nap also once I was done with the unpacking to give my body more energy for the company engagements ahead.

After the very much needed rest, the group assembled downstairs and met with the various fashion editors to brief us of the different events that the 3GL couples must attend and the various magazine photoshoots that had already been arranged.

The meeting went on for hours and by the time it ended everybody was already drained and exhausted. We all decided that it’s time for us to give it a rest to have a full energy for tomorrows’ full packed schedule.

The team said our goodnight to everyone and went on our separate ways unto the different rooms assigned to us.

We entered our room and I immediately went to the bathroom to do my evening routine and changed into my PJs getting ready to finally hitch the hay with little Rafa. Although there were available food in the room, I was just content in eating a single banana and drinking a glass of milk. Rafa on the other hand just consumed half the slice of the Hawaiian pizza  plus a glass of milk.

Rafa changed into his sleeping attire, wearing his Super Mario PJs.

Miss Aashna on the other hand excused herself from us when she received an urgent notice from P’Anne through the intercom, asking for Miss Aashna’s presence in an important zoom meeting with some of the luxury brand CEO’s.

“Yo, you and Rafa can go ahead and sleep, if you feel like it. Don’t wait up for me okay. This meeting may take awhile.”

She kissed Rafa goodnight and pat him on the head. She went to my side of the bed and gave me a peck on the lips also…. Just kidding, how I wish… Seriously, she just waved her hand at me and off she went out of the room.

… hours later…..

I woke up in the middle of the night because of my sudden urge to pee. Rafa is still cuddled beside me and when I looked at Miss Aashna’s further side of the bed Rafa’s mom was not there.

I scanned the dim lit room and immediately found her sleeping uncomfortably in her work desk, with her arm stretched on the table and her head resting on her stretched arms atop the table while sitting on her swivel chair.

I grabbed my phone and checked on the clock and it read 3:00 AM. Had she been sleeping in that position the whole time?

I slowly moved Rafa to the center of the bed and placed his huge tiger cub stuffed animal beside him for comfort. I tip toed my way to the bathroom not to disturb the sleeping form of Miss Aashna.

After taking a whizz, I stepped out of the toilet and  lazily made my way back to the king sized bed that I comfortably slept on for most of the night.

On a peaceful and quite early morning like this, it’s impossible not to be destructed being in the same room as Miss Aashna. Her commanding presence, her beauty, her gentleness, her kindness and all the good things that come along with it. No matter how hard I tried, I cannot help myself from being drawn to her. I took a quick glance to where she’s at and decided to check up her and then maybe tell her to rest her fatigued body on the bed.

Being in the proximity of Miss Aashna is so hypnotizing. It’s like you are being drawn to another portal where a new fairyland like kingdom awaits you. With my barefoot, I slowly inched myself towards her work table to try and lightly tap her shoulder, to wake her up from the deep slumber. I don’t know what came to my mind, the next minute I am caressing her soft checks and admiring the goddess like beauty sleeping in front of me. I lightly touched her forehead down to her perfect nose, her lower lip and brought my hand up to her forehead again. I really had no idea what came to my mind when suddenly I just found myself brushing my lips on her forehead.

As fast as a lightning, I was taken aback by what I did and decided to go back to bed. Just as I turned around to start moving towards the bed I felt someone reach out for my hand and held my palm to pull me back again to where I was standing before.

Miss Aashna is now fully awake and is giving me a knowing smile. She was just rubbing my palm with her soft fingers. I could see her dilated pupils are flickering under the dimly lit room. She slowly stood up and I swear I could see her watery eyes. She lift both of her hands on the side of my cheeks and slowly cupped my face. I just stood there frozen, anticipating what would happen next.

There was silence, with the strong pounding of our hearts and just feeling the presence of the ever familiar emotion….

Then…..

“Mama…” we were both startled upon hearing Rafa’s voice.

“Yes baby, Mama’s here.” I heard Miss Aashna speak in a low voice. Miss Aashna slid her hands down from my face to gently rub my side arms and then slightly squeeze it. She held one of my hands and guided me towards the bed to lay on each of our side with Rafa in the middle of us.

We both turned towards Rafa’s way and she reached out for my hand and intertwined our fingers together.

Sleep must have consumed me for I had no idea what followed after that. What I know is that I had one of the best sleeps in the recent years ever since my P’Mali left me.
