Chapter 69: Chapter 69

NELINA

“Baby, let me drive, I’m fine, not so drunk, I just had a little drink.”

Royce was like a baby, trying to beg for his toy. His friends are watching and laughing at how he acted in front of me.

“Royce, you can’t. You had plenty of liquor on your body. I’ll drive.”

Royce was drunk when we got out of the party so I had to try to drive for us.

“Nelly, are you sure about driving? I can take you guys home if you want. I still have time,” Marica offered as she stood behind the car eyeing Royce.

“I’m fine, I already drove the car that Royce gave me so this is not new. I got this, don’t worry,” I said, assuring Marica

Andi had Royce on his shoulder so that he could get in the car properly as I found it hard to assist him. Royce was way too heavy for me to guide in getting inside the car.

“Guys, we have to go,” I said before I hop in the driver’s seat. Marica and the boys waved at us as we drove off the mansion.

I drove smoothly while Royce was sleeping on the passenger seat beside me. On the way to Royce’s condo my phone rang. Seeing mom flashed on the screen, I quickly swiped to answer and put it on speaker mode.

“Hello, sweetheart, I’m sorry to call you this late. I have been calling you since 9 in the evening but you didn’t answer. I was worried.” Mom rant before I even had the chance to speak.

“Mom, sorry about that, we were at the party and the music was so loud that I couldn't hear my phone ringing. Mom, can I get back to you? I’m driving. Royce and I went to his friends’ Despedida party.”

“Oh, sorry, I'll make this short. I want you to know that your dad’s speech has improved, some of the words he says are clear. Although…”

“Mom, are you serious?” I asked, cutting mom off.

“I am, Nelly.”

I slapped a hand on my mouth before putting it back on the wheel. I focus on the road as I continue speaking to mom.

“Can I talk to dad? I wanna hear him speak. God, I badly want to visit you both, but my schedule is so hectic that I can’t find a break for at least 3 days.”

“Sweetheart, your dad is already in bed. I only call to check on you and Royce. And regarding your visit, don’t worry about it. Your dad and I understand how much you’re working for us. We are sorry that you had to do this for us, Nelly.

“Mommy…don’t be. I’m happy doing this for you and dad. This isn’t too much.”

“Still, we want to thank you for your sacrifices and also send my regards to Royce. Is Royce with you now?”

“Yes, mom. I let him sleep and I volunteered to drive since he had a little drink at the party.”

“Really? So, you’re a good driver now?” Mom asked, chuckling on the line.

“Mom, stop teasing me. I have practiced driving after Royce gifted me his BMW. I’m not scared to drive anymore.”

“Well, that’s a good improvement Nelly. I’m glad you’ve conquered your fear of driving. That's like leaving the shadow of the past. Now that you’ve faced your fears I assume you have left the past behind.”

“Yes, mom, it’s all in the past. There’s too much to live for as they say. I still have you and dad.”

“And you still have Royce as well. Isn’t he a great addition to the family…?”

“Mom…” I said, cutting her off. Mom has the time to be playful with me at midnight. I throw a glance at Royce, peacefully sleeping beside me.

“Seriously Nelly you have to tell Royce that I thank him for all the favors he did for us. The other day he paid a huge amount of bills for your dad’s treatment; it was almost half a million. It was the second time he paid and he will pay the succeeding bills.”

“Mom, don’t worry about it. I already talked to Royce regarding the bills. I will repay him after I have saved enough for it. Please don’t tell dad about this to avoid him worrying. Dad needs to focus on his full and speedy recovery.”

“Sure, sweetheart. I guess we need to end this call for you to focus on driving. I’ll call you tomorrow morning.”

“I’ll be waiting, mom. Good night, I love you.”

I love you too, Nelly. Have a good night.”

Another 15 minutes of driving before we finally arrived at Royce’s condo. I had to ask for help to get Royce to his condo. Thankfully, two men were able to help me get Royce to his bed. The only thing left was to undress him and clean him up.

I started removing his leather jacket that reminds me of the incident two years ago that flashes my head. I paused to have a better look at Royce. Impossible, it wasn’t him.

“How can I think of something bad when all you did for me and my family was good things. You only want the best for me and my family.” I muttered while looking at Royce’s face. Peacefully sleeping on his bed.

I shook my head out of reverie and continued taking Royce’s shirt off, his jeans, and lastly his socks. I stared at him once more before removing his Rolex wristwatch. Royce was sleeping like a baby. I gently rub his cheek and the smell of alcohol penetrates my nose. I knew what I needed to do next. Clean him up.

I sat on his bed contemplating whether I should remove his underwear or just leave it. The barometer I had to depend on was the one I used to myself. Would I change everything before I sleep? And the answer is YES, so I had no choice but to remove Royce’s underwear.

I heaved a deep sigh as I started lowering Royce’s underwear. He didn’t have any reaction. I swallowed a lump in my throat as his big dick started exposing. It wasn’t the first time I did it for Royce but I feel like it was wrong since I didn’t have his consent. On the other hand, he is my boyfriend though and I was doing it for his good.

When Royce’s shaft was fully exposed I paused lowering his underwear. It didn’t look hard like the way it did in the past. I feel lucky and happy knowing I made it hard every time he looks at me bare and naked.

I wondered if he would feel the same if I touched him while he was sleeping. Just the thought of it, heated my body, longing to be caressed by Royce’s soft hands. “Was it bad to think about it now?” I whispered.

“No.”

I thought it was just in my head but when I shifted on Royce’s face he was already looking at me. Royce saw me staring at his shaft and heard me asking the stupid question to myself. It was the time I wished I was a bubble that would just disappear in front of him.

“Do you want to touch it?”

I froze because of embarrassment. My mind panicked and thought of covering Royce's exposed body. I pulled the sheet to cover him and started to get off his bed.

"Come here," Royce said, his eyes half-closed. He grabbed me close to him and wrapped his arms around me. I didn't protest and observed what he would do next but he refused to move again until I heard him snore.

Funny. Royce was too sleepy to do anything stupid. We stayed in the same position; my face on his broad chest while he wrapped his arms around me. I smelled his masculine scent until I closed my eyes to sleep.
