On the way to the resort, Mrs. Lydia took Berlin to Denise and Sessi and picked elegant clothes for the young lady. Denise and Sessi was the country's number one designer clothes and accessories shop patronized mostly by the rich and powerful in society.
At the shop, Mrs. Lydia encouraged Berlin to pick very expensive evening lingerie, dresses, shoes and other accessories, much to the discomfort of the young lady.
Her daughter-in-law even wondered why this was necessary.
Mrs. Lydia watching her young companion trying the clothes on, smiled with deep satisfaction.
As they traveled to the airport, after almost emptying the shop, Mrs. Lydia continued with her excitement about the trip and encouraged Berlin to live life to the fullest.
Berlin was at least glad that her mother-in-law was finding a thrill of happiness in all of it. Making Berlin feel she was the old and boring lady and Mrs. Lydia was the teenager among them.
The sight before her was just hilarious.
Aside from everything else, there is this bugging and disturbing feeling as if she
knew there was something special about the place they going to but her mind...
"Berlin, were you listening to me?" Mrs. Lydia looked a little bit upset.
Berlin looked up and felt guilty. "Sorry, Mom. I'm a bit under the weather."
"Don't worry. You will feel much better when we arrive.
Thinking about the important thing she was about to accomplish, Mrs. Lydia immediately became happy, with a smile, and checked her wristwatch.
When Berlin and Mrs. Lydia arrived and got into the private plane, Karlos was seated on the couch with his eyes closed.
Seeing her son was present, Mrs. Lydia looked relieved. " When did you get here, dear?"
Karlos opened his eyes and glanced at Berlin, noticing the frown on her face before he said to his mother, "Five minutes ago"
Berlin let out a curse realizing just now, what this main outing and fuss was all about.
She furrowed her brows, annoyed that she was played.
Mrs. Lydia had failed to mention that they would be going and Karlos would be coming too.
And here she thought it was going to be a calming experience.
Berlin felt that the whole situation was very awkward and she tried to stick to admiring the view at all times or she would pretend to be reading or listening to music to prevent Mrs. Lydia from involving her in their conversation.
Before long they had gotten to the resort about an hour's ride from the city and highlighted.
The scenery was such a splendid and nature-gratifying one, leaving Berlin who had never been there speechless.
Mrs. Lydia happily moved into her room feigning tiredness from the ride. She had Karlos and Berlin in mind when she chose this resort for her gateway relaxation.
The couple could enjoy the decadent sensation of soaking in the water of the warm springs, a natural spa that had been around so long it is believed angels in heaven used to bathe there.
Mrs. Lydia felt bad leaving her daughter behind but there was an ulterior motive for this. Bringing Prissy might spoil the agenda.
"Welcome to THE GOLDEN resort," Karlos whispered into Berlin's ears, from where she was standing.
He had successfully taken a few steps behind her.
Berlin whipped her head to the side to look at Karlos, only bringing her face inches away from his. She blushed and her posture only made her hair scatter and fall on her face.
Karlos let his eyes fall on her loosed hair then gently helped her tuck it behind her ears and removing all the strands of hair preventing him from admiring her charming face.
Slowly he let his gaze fall to her lips and felt the need to just lean down and capture those soft cherry lips in his and kiss them good.
He had missed the feel of her lips on his and lately his whole body ached to have them on his. He had been keeping his distance unsure what he was truly feeling while keeping his mind occupied with work rather than being in a close space with her like this.
It was as though Berlin felt the same thing and her eyes fluttered close.
The way she had looked at him only made him gulp louder. Making him look all too sexy.
That was, is it. He was done figuring out his feelings. She also wanted to kiss him as well. But realizing it was a making out plan that made her mother-in-law and undergo this journey in the first place, she cleared her throat.
Karlos looked at her but his gaze still held his desires in them, not ready to back down even if she wanted to as well.
He dipped his head in, bringing his lips closer to hers. Berlin hesitated for a split second before closing her eyes as he did and leaned in to receive what he was offering.
The moment their lips connected, a voice spoke interrupting them from whatever they were doing. This caused Berlin to blush even more as she bowed her head in embarrassment when she noticed who it was.
It was one of the servants. He had come to tell them their room was ready when he met the couple about to kiss.
"I apologize for the interruption Sir, please your room has been set.
Karlos quickly looked at the car at once and noticed the luggage had already been indeed taken inside.
He turned to look at the servant. Karlos nodded at him for the information.
As soon as that was done, He bowed his head to him and took his leave to continue his task.
From the corners of his eyes, Karlos could see Berlin taking her leave and running away in the other direction.
"Tsk, Did I scare her?"
