CHAPTER 19
Upon waking from her sleep, Jessica's eyes widened in awe, looking at Rey's beach house. The house consists of three floors. Steel, and glass extend from the front gate, down a lush private garden, towards a nearby stretch of beach sand. The house impressed very masculine—stern lines and open space, hanging stairs and stone floors. The interior color and decoration are minimalist.
The color arrangement that adapts the ocean and sunset with contrast decorates each room and produces perfection that is very fitting. And the artworks on display are spectacular, blending ancient Eastern culture and modern European culture.
The main plan of the house is open concept, offering unobstructed sea views of the main entrance, living room, kitchen, as well as bar, with a few walled sectors on the left. Since this house was built on a graded ground, what should have been the ground floor at the front door was actually the second floor, producing the illusion as if its terrace was hovering over a vast ocean.
“Wow this is amazing, Rey.” Jessica who is so dreaming of having a beach house is certainly very fond of Rey's house.
Rey stood by the tall window and smiled. “There are better. Let me show you.”
After opening the latch one by one, Rey swung the wide glass panes ninety degrees away and turned the living room into a connection from the outside patio. The cool sea breeze rolled into the house, bringing the rumbling sound of the waves, and creating a cream-colored curve in the dance of light, motion, and soaring sounds.
Rey is very proud and satisfied with the house she made from her sweat. “Pretty great, isn't it?”
Yep. It was enough to make Jessica itch to want to spread both arms and let the wind blow up to the back of her neck. But instead of doing this, Jessica just nodded in agreement while smiling sincerely. “Ya.”
“Kitchen, dining room, and living room are on the ground floor. My room's on the third floor. I'll show you the guest room.”
Downstairs, Rey opens the door at the far left, revealing a bedroom with a spectacular view of the vast ocean. "This is your room" said Rey, standing at a table and pulling out a P3K box from the drawer.
He treated Jessica as much as he could. "Aw sick Rey," whispered Jessica as Rey cleaned the torn wounds on her forehead and neck.
"Hold on, yeah," in the final stages Rey covered Jessica's wound with a bandage. "Done. Do you want to eat something?"
Jessica nodded, unable to eat anything. "I'm going to clean up and rest." Jessica wanted to wash the taste of wine from her mouth, washing the last three hours of her life away.
Rey walks into the closet and pulls out a drawer, she gives Jessica a towel and a set of nightgowns. "Be rested. Good night" Rey said as Jessica stepped into the bathroom, and Rey left Jessica's room.
Jessica locked herself in the bathroom for thirty minutes. A few minutes he spent contemplating and staring at his reflection in front of the mirror, then a few more minutes he spent under the shower, and the rest he spent on the toilet where he was vomiting with nausea thinking about everything that happened a few hours in his life.
He grabbed the pajama pants for which were too big, as well as the top. The shirt even went past her knees, she pulled the trouser belt and tied it up, then Jessica came out of the bathroom, she stepped up to the bed.
...****************...
Jessica squirms on her bed smiling, but her smile fades when she realizes that she is not at her residence, but at Rey's, and she is reminded of last night's horrific events.
Jessica immediately wanted to cry again, but she forced herself out of bed. Jessica focused her attention on her empty stomach while she was in the bathroom, telling herself she should never cry again.
Jessica was vomiting again when she was about to get out of the bathroom, since knowing she was pregnant, Jessica had vomiting in the morning. After cleaning her mouth and vomit, Jessica came out of the bathroom.
Upon returning to the room, he realized that there was a chair beside his bed and it was facing the bed, but last night before closing his eyes, he did not see a chair beside his bed.
It seems that Rey slept last night in the chair to guard her, because she was draped in a blanket on the arm of the chair. The sound of rumbling in her stomach became increasingly, Jessica decided to go to the kitchen on the ground floor, as Rey said last night.
When entering the kitchen, Rey was back and forth between the refrigerator, stove and mini bar. He looked like a professional chef making breakfast. Rey looked up and glanced at Jessica as Jessica walked into the kitchen. "Morning Jessie," she said carefully. "Hopefully you're hungry this morning" Rey shifted a teapot of orange juice towards him, then turned to face the stove again.
"Yes, I'm hungry."
Rey turned her head from over the shoulder and smiled faintly at jessica. Jessica poured herself a glass of the juice and then glanced at the lighted TV. Jessica's body shook again when she saw the show re-load news about Rey's latest film.
"Are you okay, baby?" Rey placed the pear in front of Jessica then sat down next to her and put the plate to herself.
"Can you turn that show off?" jessica Pinta.
Rey grabbed a TV remote not far from where she was sitting, then she turned it off. "Gossip news nowadays is always over-reporting, I've had my lawyer search for the person who deliberately spread our photos on the plane. It's a violation of the privacy of his name, I hope it's not because of the news that you fought with your husband." He started cutting crepe with his fork and then ate it.
Jessica closed her eyes, took a sip of her orange juice, she still did not want to discuss the matter with Rey right now even though it was true that the source of her quarrel with Daniel was Rey.
Jessica looked down at the pear. There are three Crepe in syrup flush and garnished a spoonful of whipped cream, slices of sweet orange and strawberries laid out on a pinhgir plate. She was almost too pretty to eat, but she was too hungry to care. Jessica bribed and closed her eyes trying not to show a reaction that this was the most delicious breakfast she had ever eaten. From the past until now, Rey is very good at cooking, Rey often makes food for her.
