A Deal With The Billionaire

EPISODE FIVE

THEME: Time starts now

FEW DAYS LATER

“Hey buddy. I am about to board the plane to Idaho right now. I will definitely call you when I touch down. So wish me luck, best friend.”

Christopher texted after completing his check-ins at the counter. He was texting Benjamin so he would finalize the whole proposal plans.

He dragged his box and motioned towards the plane together with the other passengers.

Christopher waited for his turn to claim the few stairs and he also went in search of his seat number in the plane. After he found it, Christopher settled on the chair and plugged in his AirPod. He took out his cellphone and connected the Bluetooth device. He turned on a song title ‘Ghost by Justin Bieber.’ This song has been a source of inspiration to him since the proposal plans started. It was the perfect song to set him into the proposal mood.

The cellphone bIt was an Instagram message from Benjamin.

“Yo buddy! Best of luck on winning your woman. You are coming home as an engaged man!” A dancing and cheering emojis was sent after the message.

Christopher grinned as he read through the text. He was glad and excited about what lies ahead in Idaho. His dream woman and the quest to win her over for a lifetime commitment. He has made up his mind to spend forever with Jessica a long time ago. This bold step he was about to take would be a new beginning. And a decision that would change his life forever.

“I hope you like this, my love. I hope you do.” Christopher heaved a sigh.

The pilot gave out safety instructions while Christopher spent the whole time envisioning the whole plan in his head.

A smile crept on his face as he imagined the woman he loves so much saying yes to his proposal.

*********************

(Four hours, forty minutes later.)

The plane arrived at Idaho. Christopher took the next taxi to the service apartment Benjamin had booked in his name.

He was greeted by an old man in his seventies who handed him the keys to the apartment.

“I had my boys clean the whole place. Everything is set.” The man who had introduced himself as Mr Thomas over the phone said.

“Thank you, Mr Thomas.” Christopher grinned. He waved goodbye at the man before he walked away.

Christopher bounced up the few steps leading to the porch and he used the keys to open the door. Everywhere was neat but he needed to check the main part of the plan. He raced down to the bedroom and saw that everything was in check and the same way his best friend has formulated the plan. The apartment was designed for the proposal plans.

Christopher was satisfied even as he fought the urge to scream out in excitement. Seeing that everything was in place, he took out his cellphone and dialed Benjamin’s number.

‘Hello Chris.’ Benjamin picked on the second ring.

‘I am at the apartment! This place is so beautiful as I have imagined it to be! Everything is working out as planned. And I am sure Jessica would love it!’ Christopher gasped in excitement.

‘I told you they would deliver well! Mr Thomas has been a proposal planner for years now!’ Benjamin replied.

‘What else do I need to do now?’ Christopher paced the room.

‘Call her.’ Benjamin answered.

‘You are right. But I need to go over to her place then bring her back her in the evening for the main proposal.’

‘Why not invite her over now?’ Benjamin asked.

‘She might be busy at work. And I need to play around with my woman to set us in the proposal mood.’ Christopher chuckled.

‘Oh! You need to hit on her so hard! Really?’ Benjamin joked.

‘Yeah buddy!’

They both laughed.

‘I trust you will have a nice stay Idaho. Your next call to me should be she said…. Yes!’ Benjamin enthused.

‘Sure.’ Christopher responded.

‘Take care.’ Ben disconnected the call.

Christopher motioned out of the room and he sank onto the couch. “Soon Jessica, you will be mine.’ He yawned.

He scanned through the images of himself and Jessica over the years but soon he found himself dozing off. He concluded that he must be tired because of the hours spent on board. He didn’t sleep off while on board, all he did was stare at Jessica’s pictures on his phone.

********************

An hour after Christopher had put a call through to his best friend, he woke up from the nap and stretched himself right on the couch.

“Jessica!” The name echoed in his mind.

Christopher sat up abruptly and checked his wrist watch. “Damn it!” He stood up from the couch and dragged the box along to the bedroom.

In preparation for his visit to Jessica’s house, he had the quickest bathe in record and he was done dressing up in four minutes. Even in a bid to look nice and fresh, Christopher made sure that he didn’t ruin any of the designs in the bedroom. He raced out of the apartment, secured the lock and went to the garage to unlock the car hired with the proposal package.

In order not to ruin the whole plan, Christopher called Jessica.

“Hi love.” He said in the sweetest tone he could muster.

“Hi babe.” Jessica sounded the usual way.

“How are you?” Christopher asked.

“I just got back from a trip with my boss. We visited a few local areas. I am so tired.” Jessica yawned.

“Oh! Sorry babe. So do you need me around?” Christopher asked.

“Seriously, days like this I wish you were here with me. Last night, I was so horny and I had to compel my fingers to do justice to my body in the shower. And my muscles are so tensed I think I need a full body massage.” Jessica lamented.

Christopher couldn’t hide his excitement. He was trying so hard not to confess the whole plan to her at that moment.

“I can make it happen. I mean, Everything you ever wish for this minute.”

“Yeah I know. Babe, book me a session at the spa.” Jessica said.

She expected that he would book a session in a five star spa house in Idaho like he always do each time she complained about having a tensed muscles.

“No, I won’t do that this time. Let me be the one to do it. I can make you cum so hard and make you scream my name. I can give you a slow massage while I thrust into you from behind.” He teased her.

“Shit! You just made my panties wet. Stop playing with me, Christopher Crawford.” Jessica heaved a sigh of frustration.

“Guess what?”

“What?”

“I just told you to make a guess.” He chuckled.

“You are swamped with files at the office.” She said.

“It’s far from it. Try again, baby doll.”

“You signed off a new deal.” She tried again.

“No.”

“I can’t try again. I never guess right.” Jessica grumbled.

“Do I get something in return for helping you out?” Christopher asked.

“Alright. I’ll foot the bill for our next date.” Jessica replied.

“No. I want a promise.” Christopher countered.

“What promise?”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“Jess, promise me that you will never leave me because you know how much I love you.” Christopher sounded serious over the phone and she sensed it.

“Listen Jessica, I am serious about-”

“I promise.” Jessica interrupted him.

“I’ll hold on to your promise.” Christopher smiled in satisfaction. Her promise gave him a glint of hope that the proposal plans would turn out well.

“Alright.”

“Good. I am in Idaho and currently on my way to your apartment.” Christopher said calmly.

Jessica giggled. “You must be kidding. Come on Chris! You know how much I yearn to be in your arms again so don’t play with me!”

“I am damn serious, Jess. I will be at your place in ten minutes.” He laughed.

“I won’t believe until I see you. The time starts now.”

Jessica disconnected the call before Christopher could say his next words. He already knew Jessica won’t believe that he is in Idaho.

She chose not to believe because Christopher barely makes out time to visit her in Idaho because of the workload at the corporation.

“I’ll be right there with you, baby doll!” Christopher screamed out as he pressed the horn trying to make a signal to the car ahead.

He marched on the pedals and the car moved at a full speed on the highway.
