《A Deal in Disguise》CHAPTER 21: "Spain it is then."
Advertisement
When I woke up Rafael was already up. This was the first time he was up before me, strange.
"You up? Go get freshen up, the breakfast is ready."
I sat up on the bed rubbing my eyes few times, I looked up at him "Don't tell me you made the breakfast? I won't have it. You are a very bad cook."
He glared at me playfully "Luckily I didn't."
"Then I am fine with having the breakfast."
Sliding his phone in his pocket he got up from the couch and said "Come downstairs. It's 10 already."
My eyes widened "10?"
"Yeah, you were really lost in your beauty sleep and I didn't want to disturb you."
"Fuck!" I muttered getting up from the bed.
"Woah. Cursing early morning is not good lady."
I gave a sweet smile and replied "I am sorry Daddy."
"Daddy?" He smirked then made his way towards me, standing in front of me he said "I really don't mind you calling me that. In fact, I love it." My eyes widened "but it would be inappropriate if you use that in front of Dad so you can surely call me by that name when we are alone." I gulped hard. "Babygirl."
Babygirl? Did he just call me that?
Clearing my throat, I said "I-I n-need to use the w-washroom." with that I ran towards the washroom.
Locking up the door I leaned against it closing my eyes. I could feel my heart beating so fast like it would pop out any moment.
"Oh Sweet Jesus!" I touched my chest just to feel my heart beating rapidly.
What just happened?
And what is even wrong with me? I shouldn't have said that.
Conclusion: I should really think before using any word. It can be so inappropriate at times.
After getting freshen up I went downstairs to the dining room Rafael was busy doing something in his phone while Dad was talking to Deby. I went and took my seat beside Rafael as soon as he felt my presence beside him, he looked at me with an evil smirk plastered on his lips.
I want to slap him so bad.
Can he stop teasing me? I am a human and humans make mistakes he doesn't have to tease me for that all the time.
I rolled my eyes and focused on what Dad was saying.
"Are you okay Haze?"
I nodded "Yes Dad I am fine."
"How's your Uncle doing?" Dad asked.
"Fine. He is still in shock but trying to hide the pain."
"I can understand." Dad said in a sad tone like he really does understand the pain. He then looked at Rafael with a worried look.

"Dad please." Rafael said. I looked down biting my lips.
He is worried about Rafael and he is right, any father would be. I am the one who is responsible for this because of me Rafael too is in danger.
I felt a hand on my hand that was resting on my lap, it was Rafael.
He leaned down towards me then whispered in my ears "If you don't stop whatever you are thinking right now then I am afraid Daddy will have to punish you babygirl."
I looked at him to see that same smirk still on his lips.
But this time I wasn't mad at him, I was really worried for him. Getting my hand out of his hold I rested it on the table, I could feel his eyes on me but I ignored it.
Deby served our breakfast. She smiled at me then said "Today you'll gonna have a great breakfast made by Madam Deborah after a long time."
I gave her a light smile.
"And Rafael you dare not get up from that seat without finishing the whole breakfast today." She warned Rafael.
Rafael just nodded his head "I'll try."
After having our breakfast, I was in Rafael's study reading some book. I don't know where he is after the breakfast I straight away came here not wanting to talk to anyone. I was trying to read the book for the past 1 hour but I can't focus. All I can think right now is that Rafael and Dad both are in danger because of me.
However hard Rafael tries to make me believe that everything is under control but I know nothing is under control. Last night I searched about Simon on the internet for the first time just to get the news of his men dying.
And with the recent 4 murders it is now 24 men who were brutally killed and left in Simon Cameron's club, officer James Kennedy confirms they all were Simon Cameron's men but Cameron's location is still unknown to us.
Rafael Martinez and his wife were being attacked at an event, after the investigation Officer James Kennedy confirms that the men who died at the event were Simon Cameron's men. Is Cameron somehow related to Rafael Martinez?
A week ago, Aaron Cameron was murdered brutally. Aaron Cameron was Simon Cameron's cousin. Who is the next target?
I think I am. I just hope Rafael and Dad doesn't get harm in this.
Simon has never introduced me as his sister to anyone. At our wedding too Uncle and Aaron were present as Rafael's guest.
Why did you had to make things so complicated Simon?
"Seems like you really want the punishment." Came a voice from behind me. I looked in the direction of the door to find Rafael standing at the door with hands in his pockets.

He came towards me and took the book from my hand "Were you reading really?" He asked.
I shook my head.
Resting the book on the table he made me stand up. Tucking few strands of my hair behind my ear he said "Stop worrying so much babygirl, you are making me regret my decision of telling you the truth."
"I c-can't." I stuttered. "I looked for Simon in the internet."
"You trust the internet more than him?" He asked.
I shook my head "But the internet isn't wrong. I know I am the next target."
"It didn't say anything like that. It says who is the next target, who doesn't mean you. It's not yet confirmed that it will be you and besides if it is you then I am here to protect you."
"That's what I don't want. I don't want you to risk your life for me."
"It's too late for that babygirl."
I stared at him for sometime blankly. Well not blankly but thinking about the time I have spent with him so far. Every moment with him I felt myself happy. Every moment with him feels so special.
He pulled me to the centre of the room then said "Dance with me."
"What here?" I asked completely surprised.
"Yeah, here and now."
Taking out his phone he played a romantic song that would be 'Senorita' pulling me closer he wrapped one hand around my waist, I rested my one hand on his shoulder and my other hand in his hand.
We moved with the rhythm of the song, I smiled.
"Good. I think there is a little progress, my babygirl is now smiling."
That surely made me blush.
My babygirl.
I am so ready to be yours.
"Don't call me that." Though I liked the nickname but I know I sometime act so stupid.
"What?" He asked smirking.
"You know what?" I said blushing.
Leaning down he whispered in my ears "No I don't babygirl."
"Stop calling me that."
"But you like it."
I shook my head.
"Just accept it you like it whenever I call you that you blush."
Holding his one hand I took a round then again I was being pulled back to him. He too was smiling lightly like he was enjoying it.
"Can we do this everytime I am sad?" I asked.
"I don't mind."
"It's nice."
"Glad babygirl you liked it."
Okay and I blushed again.
During the lunchtime we were seated on our usual spots, Rafael still didn't stop calling me babygirl when we were alone of course. Deby served our lunch we started eating when Dad said suddenly.
"I was thinking something."
Rafael and I looked up at Dad waiting for him to continue "What?" Rafael asked.
"Why don't you both go somewhere?"
"Somewhere like?"
"Somewhere out of the country. Take sometime off this mess." Rafael didn't reply this time he remained quiet. "Trust me it will help, right now Hazel is the one in danger take her out for few days. It will help both of you clear your minds."
"Dad we are fine." I replied.
He shook his head "I can see it clearly you are trying hard to pretend but you are not happy Haze." Rafael looked at me once like he was trying to read my mind. "And besides you both didn't even go anywhere for your honeymoon."
I choked on the rice and started coughing when my eyes fell on Rafael, I found him smirking at my condition.
Isn't he smirking a lot today?
"D-Dad it's fine, really." I said but Rafael cuts me off.
"I think it's a great idea Dad. Honeymoon." He said, repeating Dad's word that's 'honeymoon'.
"But-"
Before I could complete my sentence Dad said "No buts Haze. Rafael is ready I don't want to hear anything from you. Just have some fun in your honeymoon."
Again that word honeymoon.
While I was eating all the time he was smirking. What the hell is wrong with him today!
First he teased me with the Daddy thing then he started calling me babygirl and now he wants to go on honeymoon with me.
Great!
I was in my room sitting with my phone watching some series when Rafael entered the room taking a seat beside me on the couch he asked "So where do you want to go for our 'honeymoon'?"
I hit his arm "Stop saying that."
He laughed "What? Honeymoon?"
I glared at him.
"What should I call it then? It is a honeymoon."
Once more he earned a glare from me.
He chuckled "No seriously though any specific place you want to go?"
Yeah.
Spain. It's my dream to visit Spain.
I was about to tell him but he spoke up again "Or don't say anything, I have a place in my mind and it's damn beautiful. I am sure you'll love it."
But I want to go to Spain.
I nodded my head giving a sad smile.
"Spain it is then." He said making me look up at him with a bright smile on my face. "Don't worry babygirl I know your likes and dislikes."
And here comes the babygirl making my face go red again.
"Thank you." I said blushing of course.
"That's not a problem we'll be leaving day after tomorrow so pack your things."
I nodded like an obedient child.
