Chapter 19 Going to wonderland
"Come in," he heard in a muffled voice.
"Hey Celi ...are you okay?" He asked not really knowing what else to say
"Yeah I'm fine,sorry you had to witness that...that was so embarrassing," Rachel said still talking in
the pillow
"Hey its okay ...i grew up with all of that"
"Hey I got an idea" he said while he sat at the edge of the bed.
"Alright, I'm listening,”
"How about we go out this evening,just the two of us...to wash out the bad energy from this
morning...what do you say?"
"Is it a date?" Rachel turned over to smirk at a jaw dropping yandel.
"Omg!!!!" Rachel burst into a fit of laughter at the super perplexed look on his face, I mean he is
really hot and successful and nice any girl will be lucky to have him but he is just not the man for her,
sadly Talon was still occupying the back of her mind and she still thought about the image of seeing
him and that rich old hag of a woman in that position, she could swear to die was worth it because the
pain wasn't very prominent like before.
"Haha very funny Celi," yandel recovered playing it off like he wasn't affected by the girl he liked
just thought they were going on a date.His heart still hadn't stop beating like a drum in a mad circus,he
can't deny that he was slight disappointed that she didn't mean it,it would have really nice to go on a
date with her.
But who was he kidding,he knew he was losing himself little by little,he's love for independent
beautiful women had caught up with him but he knew no matter the rules he could break for araceli,he
wouldn't break his number one rule
'Never mix business with pleasure'.
That is a rule that has put a lot of young businessmen out of business because someone had the
ability to ruin your whole work and effort of so many years by just dropping or leaking words to the
press about things that you do.
"So are you sure you're gonna be okay?" He asked Araceli.
"Yeah i will be fine,thanks for coming though...it was an unexpected but pleasant surprise to be
honest" Rachel replied smiling.
"Yeah it's no problem,"
"So you heading out now?" Rachel asked, feeling a tinge of disappointment lingering in the depths
of her chest.
"Well I said i was gonna check on my best man,"
"Ace??"
"Yh Ace and speaking of which I haven't seen him since I arrived, does he usually sleep in this
late?" Yandel asked.
"Well it's the weekends i guess, mom always lets him sleep in, and considering what happened
yesterday I suggested to the maids that he shouldn't be woken up I know that as a fact" Rachel
clarified.
"Yh you are right...he does need rest" he agreed.After talking with ace yesterday,he realized how
neglected and lonely the boy felt because Araceli is always busy with work and his parents are always
at some meeting or business trip.
"So what time should Ipick you up?"
"6 30 ok?" Rachel asked
"Yh 6 00 okay" Yandel replied laughing a little.
"Heyyy i said 6 30" rachel said laughing.
"La la la la…" Yandel said while closing his ears and leaving her room, she gave chasing him
down the stairs and around their estate a thought but on a second note, she needed some rest and to
digest her breakfast which she didn't feel till now that she was off the adrenaline of dealing with Xander.
She went into the bathroom to shower off the stress and everything that morning hoping she will
be able to get some sleep after the drum worth of coffee she had consumed all in one morning.
She woke up around 5 33,giving her atleast 30minutes to prepare for her outing with Yandel which
felt she was kinda a little bit too excited for, which led her to what has been giving her an inch of worry
"What the hell am i going to fucking wear!!!!"
She didn't wanna wear any dinner gown or cocktail dress because she was dumb enought to
forget to ask him where they would be going but now there wasn't time. She needed an outfit that said
good enough for roadside dinner and not too bad for a 5-star restaurant….who was she kidding, she
was either going to be underdressed or overdressed either way and since she had already clarified that
it wasn't a date, she finally decides to just go for an elegant casual look from her sense of dressing.
She opted for a white oversized sweatshirt and a fade slim fit jeans with black vans. She has
always been known for not wearing clothes that hugged her torso because of her "chest insecurity" and
she doesn't have to worry about that because she was in Araceli's body, not hers.
She checked the time to see it was a few minutes past 6
"Ofcourse he is going to show up…"
The door bell pierced through the whole house.
"Late…" Rachel paused.
She heard his voice downstairs taking to an excited ace who she guessed must have been
watching his favorite evening show which was a quiz show for kids.
"Guess I was wrong then,” Rachel thought as she headed downstairs, from far, she saw he was
also wearing an all-white sweatshirt and the light faded jeans with some white airforce. She couldn't
help but feel warm in her stomach, not only did they jinx in their outfit similarity but the whole walking
down the stairs made her feel like she was going to prom or homecoming.
As she reached the last four steps and she noticed yandel had stopped talking and had his eyes
on her.
"Woah…" Yandel said in complete awe.
"Yh...you can close your mouth now Baldwin," Rachel said chuckling nervously.
"You really look like shit" yandel said with a straight face.
"What the…" Rachel said in confusion.
"I'm kidding you look great" yandel said chuckling at her expression.
"Yh funny you and language by the way ace is here" rachel pointed out.
"Oh sorry"
"I didn't hear shit" ace said with a smile.
"Well if mom hears that I'm totally gonna throw you under the bus" rachel said heading into the
kitchen to get some apple.
"Well aren't you the nicest Celi, ” Yandel said following her into the kitchen.
"Yes I'm dear, and trust me you don't wanna see me when I'm being super nice, I puke rainbows
and poop candies," Rachel said dripping in sarcasm.
"Well atleast your smile is pretty," Yandel added silently while taking a glass of water with no hint of
play in his voice.
Rachel played off the compliment even though she was blushing really hard
"Well can we go now??!" Rachel asked trying to escape the embarrassing site of her blush.
"Is the strict and snappy Araceli blushing?!!" Yandel teased touching her cheeks which she
slapped off with no haste giving him a look that said i will ruin you if you do that again.
"Alright enough of this mushy stuff... let's go," Rachel said, walking towards ace and kissing him on
the head while ruffling his hair.
"Have fun and get married before you come," Ace said while Araceli just shut the door to avoid
another embarrassing comment.
"We will look good together" Yandel said smirking at her
"You know what else will look good together??" rachel asked nicely.
"What??"
"You in a wheelchair because i ran you over with your own car" Rachel replied smiling sweetly.
"Okay woman you freaky, I like that, ” Yandel said laughing even though she really scared him.
"Is that a faux black accent?!" Rachel asked.
"What!!...uhm no" Yandel stuttered when the truth was yes, he did try a black accent but failed
terribly, watching a lot of All American had taken a huge toll on him now he can't help but want to try a
black accent every time. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
"Yh whatever I don't even care,"
They got into the car and started heading towards the gate leading out of the estate. The leaves
were starting to fall and Rachel knew her favorite time of the year was coming...winter. She looked at
Yandel and he smiled back at her.
"You like the winter right?" he asked.
"Yh...How can you tell?" Rachel asked
"You have the look my younger siblings used to have when the winter is coming"
"You mean the twins right?" Rachel asked.
"Yh them,you should meet them sometime,their 20th birthday is coming up soon" yandel said.
"yh that will be cool,which reminds me where are we heading to exactly?" Rachel asked.
"Its a surprise" yandel replied looking side ways at her
"Hate surprises" she replied.
"Well not my problem" he said driving further.
It was more than 15minutes that they have been on the road and she was starting to get impatient
with the whole surprise thingy till she realized she recognized this area, it was the route to the amazing
wonderland amusement park.
"Are we going to wonderland??"
"Yeap" Yandel smiled at her growing excitement.
