Mr. Hephephobias
CHAPTER 108 - Wet Caught
According to the information Lucia received from Mickey, today is Rayn's birthday. Lucia would not miss this precious moment. This will be the first celebration he will give to Rayn since they are officially in love.
Lucia wanted to give something memorable to Rayn, but that something might be a little different from a typical birthday party. Lucia cannot give a festive party considering Rayn's phobia.
Lucia woke up earlier than usual, early in the morning she was busy preparing a car to go shopping. He wanted to cook his special meal for Rayn. Just as Lucia was about to leave the Villa, she suddenly heard Rayn was up and called out to her.
"Where do you want to go so early in the morning?" ask Rayn.
Lucy throws a smile and greets Rayn with her usual good morning. Happy Birthday will be a word that must be kept in his heart and he can bear not to be spoken at this time. Looking at Rayn's flat face with Lucia's usual attitude, it seemed like Rayn had forgotten her own birthday.
"You want me to drive you?" ask Rayn.
"No need, I can do it myself Rayn. I just went shopping for some necessities. Aren't you going to finish your painting?" lusia asked considering that Rayn had postponed her work yesterday.
"You're right, today I might be busy in the painting room" Rayn said.
Lucia nodded and did not mind as it meant that Rayn would definitely ignore him until an indeterminate time. Rayn could never be bothered if she was already in there.
"But, do you have afternoon? I'd like to have some shellfish soup, would you like to accompany me?" tanya Lucia hesitated.
"Of course, you can call me when it's time to get ready" Rayn said.
Lucia nodded and then she left. "I've prepared breakfast in the room" he shouted before opening the door.
"Eemm, I've seen it" Rayn waved.
...***...
Lucia is back and she is busy in the kitchen. Lucia is free to do anything without having to worry about Rayn because she is currently busy in the painting room.
Time passed, after finishing some of the menu, Lucia kept it and cleaned the kitchen. Lucia then goes to Rayn's painting room to ask her to prepare.
Lucia and Rayn end up going to a scallop soup restaurant that has always been her favorite, but still made by her mother who has always been the number one.
Lusia rented several tables so as not to be full of other visitors for Rayn's convenience. Rayn was a little sad to see Lucia still have to be in this kind of situation, unable to enjoy her favorite food in peace. Lucia still had to think about Rayn's condition that it was impossible to eat in a place full of people.
"It's okay Rayn, I really enjoyed it" said Lucia smiling as she held Rayn's hand which was staring at her sadly. He convinces Rayn that he is not a problem despite having to rent an entire restaurant. Lucia then asked Raya to taste the menu she had ordered for her.
...***...
At the villa, a car came in and parked in the courtyard of the Villa. Yeah, it was David's car that came with Reisa. Not only the two of them, but there was Dave and Nara who also got out of the car.
Arka immediately approached them, he petrified Dave to remove some items in the trunk of David's car. He then allowed them to enter the villa.
"Miss Lucia told me you were coming" Arka said.
Reisa and the others come to fulfill Lucia's invitation to celebrate Rayn's birthday. Lucia asks Reisa for help to help her take care of the simple party preparations at Villa as she goes to distract Rayn. Lusia also said that he had given 1 aid worker, Arka.
Arka tells Reisa that if Lucia has prepared some menu, the rest of Lucia leaves it to Reisa. They all seemed enthusiastic about getting everything ready. Dave and Nara help Arka prepare the birthday decorations.
They have prepared a simple scenario where the lights will be put out when Lucia and Rayn will arrive at Villa. Then they will surprise when Rayn and Lucia have entered the Villa.
Pretty simple, right?
But will the plan work ?
Yes, that question that always haunts Lucia during her time with Rayn. Lucia has also repeatedly sent messages to Reisa giving warnings to keep her distance from Rayn as long as the surprise starts later.
...***...
Lucia and Rayn are already on their way back to the Villa. At the Villa they have all divided their duties. Arka who will be in charge of turning off and turning on the lights, Reisa brought a cake and others of course quite enliven the atmosphere.
Rayn's car has arrived at Villa, Rayn intends to put his car directly into the garage but Lucia prevents it. Right now in the garage is David's car he's hiding there.
"Why all of a sudden I feel like there's something wrong with my stomach. Help me get all my things and let Arka take care of the car" Lucia said, then rushed down from the car.
"Lusia wait" called Rayn made Lucia startled and immediately stopped her steps.
"Are you sure you're okay?" rayn asked to touch Lucia's stomach when he saw Lucia who seemed to be in a hurry.
"Aaa.it's not so let's go in" asked Lucia.
Rayn pressed the password to enter, the password was confirmed and the door opened, but the automatic light did not turn on and the electricity suddenly went out. Lucia wasn't surprised by that because she knew what was happening .
Rayn immediately grabbed onto Lucia's hand and grasped it, she asked Lucia not to move from where she was standing now until she confirmed what had happened and everything was safe. Rayn pulled out her phone to contact Arka.
“It looks like they have prepared it well“ Lucia said inwardly with a smile
"Arka, the lights on the villa went out what happened?" rayn asked after connecting with Arka.
"Aaaa that, well, I'll check on Mr. Rayn" Arka said.
Ironically, Arka became confused because he had not done anything but this time the lights were completely extinguished. Reisa gave the code to others if the lights had gone out, meaning Rayn and Lucia had reached the Villa, only having to wait 5-10 to launch the action. They didn't realize that Rayn and Lucia were already inside the Villa.
"We can use the light from my phone and.." said Rayn wanted to turn on the flashlight but the phone battery was low and then died.
Rayn smiled awkwardly in embarrassment "What about your phone?" rayn asked Lucia.
Lucia pretended not to find her phone "It looks like it was left in the car" he said.
"Why are they so long? Do they prepare on the 2nd floor?" inner Lucia in heart.
Rayn looked at Lucia then stepped closer, one hand still tightly grasping onto Lucia's hand. "It looks like we'll have to wait until Arka takes care of it. What can we do while we wait ?" rayn asked with a suspicious look.
The moon is shining brightly so that light enters through the window glass. Faintly a thin smile was seen unraveling in Rayn's lips. Without permission, of course, Rayn pulled Lusia's waist and locked it close to her body.
The dug dug dug dug....
Lucia's heart skipped a beat after feeling a short, sweet kiss from Rayn's lips.
"Rayn.." call Lucy nervous.
Rayn smiled faintly at Lucia's reaction. "What's with that expression of yours, are you expecting more?" seductive Rayn whispered in Lucia's ear.
"That's.." said Lusia.
Lucia was a little confused and kept asking in her heart where Reisa and the others had yet to appear. He's almost at the heart of the heart because he's worried that suddenly they see Rayn kissing him.
Rayn smiled again, she grabbed onto Lucia's chin and said. "I want to steal it again" he said softly and gave Lucia a deeper kiss.
Reisa whispers to David if she hears Rayn's voice and Lucia is already inside the Villa. They then decided to go out with the cake that had been lit.
As they were about to sing their birthday song, the lights suddenly returned to normal and.
“Upss... What do they do?" chirps David.
Just as the lights were on, they all saw something that was not supposed to be seen, watching the two lovebirds who were blending in. The two lips that are still touching must end the action. Rayn immediately distanced her body from Lucia as well as Lucia who immediately pushed Rayn's body away. They then stood side by side in front of the door with flat faces .
“A... i... a... it.... earlier.... “ said lusia stammering.
Lucia immediately lowered her head resignedly, she felt like she was being caught wet doing immorality.
David's face slowly let out a suspicious look then threw a smile. Susana was a little quiet and awkward, even the birthday cake with the candle lit in Reisa's hand became neglected.
Rayn smiled at Lucia's panicked reaction. He whispered to Lucia. "You want me to help you? Don't you want to take the cake and ask me to blow it?" ryan helps Lucia solve her panic by distracting them.
"You're right" said Lucia immediately went to take the cake from Reisa's hand and asked Rayn to blow it and make a wish. Rayn closed her eyes and made a plea in her heart. He then said another plea that was heard to all who were in disna .
“I also wheel so that the girl I love is always protected and happy" said Rayn .
Rayn opened her eyes and approached and clasped her cheeks with both hands. The frozen look of lusia. Rayn smiled and immediately kissed Lucia's lips without hesitation in front of all the eyes that were staring at them.
“Are you sure this is his birthday celebration? Or is our existence here just a supporting cast that enliven their love story ?" said David.
"Happy birthday Rayn, this is indeed very simple and not as luxurious as the big surprise you always give me, but I am very sincere" said Lucia.
