Chapter 51 – Lyken’s Plan
Jada and her co-models arrived at the hotel at past 8 in the evening. A waiter led their group to their reserved table to have their dinner before going up to their suites. Mama Vane approached Jada and gave her the keys to the suite that Lyken had booked for her. But before she could go to her room, she was held back by the old woman's chitchat. As soon as she stepped in, she immediately plopped on her bed. Her body feels heavy because of the flight and the travel from the airport to the hotel.
"Ouch!" She screamed as something poked her back when she rolled on the bed.
Quickly pulling the blanket, her irritation dissipated when she saw what was underneath. 'I wonder whose idea this is.'
What poked her were stemmed roses laid on the bed. There were seven roses properly arranged across the bed.
She smiled at the thought that it was from Lyken, so she quickly picked up all of them and placed them on the side table. She realized that she does have a sweet and thoughtful boyfriend. Crawling back to bed, she was ready to plunge into a deep slumber. However, she only laid down and closed her eyes for no more than 10 minutes when her phone started ringing. Gritting her teeth, she lazily reached for her bag and took it out to answer the call. Without looking at the screen, she answered the call.
"I love you!" Lyken greeted her as soon as she answered.
"I love you too! And I miss you so much!" Jada exclaimed. She checked her wristwatch, "You're early! Are you at your office now?"
"I'm still at home," he responded with his sexy bedroom voice. "I set my alarm at eight in the morning, assuming you're already in your suite by that time," he explained.
Jada can't help but chuckle, "What's with the sweetness? Did you do something that will make me angry?" she teased.
"Of course not! Your boyfriend's a good boy, had you forgotten?" he refuted. "I love you, baby!" he added without waiting for her response.
She rolled to her stomach as she replied to him. They continued talking for almost an hour before he ended the call, as he needed to prepare for work.
As soon as the call ended, Jada closed her eyes and tried to sleep again. Fortunately, it was a success.
Unsure how long it's been since she fell asleep, she woke up to the buzzing in her room. She looked at the wall clock and saw it was only 9 in the morning.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Irritated, she pushed herself off the bed and went straight for the door. As she opened it, a waiter with a food cart stood outside the door.
She creased her forehead at him. 'I didn't ask for breakfast, but why is he here? Wrong suite, maybe?'
"Bom dia senhorita. Eu trouxe o seu café da manhã," he greeted, the creases on her forehead deepened. "Sorry senhorita, I just came to bring your breakfast," he translated.
"Oh, thanks!" then she opened the door to let him through.
He moved the plates from the food cart to the table. When the waiter was done, he passed a card to her. He was still smiling as he bade her farewell.
'Your baby sent these to you. Eat well, and don't forget that he loves you so much. - Kitchen'
Jada wanted to laugh out loud. She didn't expect Kitchen would be sending something like this. But seriously speaking, she felt touched by the effort.
Uncovering the plates, she was greeted by mouth-watering dishes, causing her stomach to ramble. There are truffle fries, club sandwiches, cereals with yogurt, and a glass of fresh milk.
They will surely ruin the diet she's been following for tonight's show, but who cares? She decided that today was her cheat day.
As soon as she's done eating, she feels sleepy. But she didn't go back to bed. Instead, she opened her suitcase, took out a two-piece orange bikini with black lining, and changed into it.
She grabbed the robe when she stepped out of the bathroom and headed to the pool. Jada decided to go for a swim to digest everything she had eaten.
Mama Vane and some of her co-models were already there. Some were doing laps, while some models were sitting by the edge, dipping their feet while chatting.
"Good morning, Jada! How's your sleep?" The middle-aged woman greeted her with a smile, and she pulled her down next to her.
"I slept well, Ma! How about you? You guys are up early!"
"It seems like we're all hit by a bad jetlag," she chuckled.
She shrugged at her, sort of agreeing with what she said. But at the same time, she's trying to avoid spilling anything about the surprise breakfast she got.
After a bit of chitchat with Mama Vane, she excused herself and placed her towel on the empty lounge chair near her. She took off her robe and noticed some people turning their heads to her. "Wow!" Sarah, one of her co-models, exclaimed. "You're sizzling hot!" she added.
"Silly!" Jada jested, trying to dismiss the embarrassment she felt from the praise.
"Jada's sexy indeed," Mama Vane chimed in. "That's why she's one of the most sought-after models by most sponsors."

She shook her head to the woman as walk towards the pool. Jada dove in and did a couple of laps before rejoining them.
"How was Honey's wedding, by the way?" Mama Vane asked.
"It went well," she replied as she wiped her face. "But being a maid of honor was so exhausting!"
Mama Vane laughed as she shook her head. "That's why I never agree to be one," she stated. "So, are you next in line?" The woman teased.
Shaking her head, Jada sipped from the glass of juice Mama Vane ordered for her. "Lyken and I just got back together. There are still some things we need to fix and a few adjustments to make," she told her, placing the glass back on the table. "You can't say that dear! Who knows, maybe he'll propose to you tomorrow!"
Jada smiled at what she said. Not sure why but it felt good hearing about the proposal and marriage. But she believes it won't come this soon.
Just like Lyken said, he wants to court her again first. He wants to make up for everything he did.
And although she already accepted him as her boyfriend again before she left, he seems determined with the courtship. Since that's what he wants, she just has to give it to him. Meanwhile, Back in Centro, Lyken called Bambi, "What's up?" he asked as soon as he answered the call.
"Everything was ready, Ly! Don't stress yourself. We'll all be there later," he assured. He nodded, although Bambi couldn't see him. After a few more reminders, he ended the call. Honey and Kobe are coming back from their honeymoon. Jada is still in Brazil, and Lyken's on his way there too.
There are only a few days left before her return, so Lyken has to go as soon as possible. He's cooking something, and he needs all their friends to be there to help him out. Luan told Bambi to call Steve and Robin. He also texted Kobe to meet them at Jada's condo. They all need to be there. He needs to make sure they're all there. Lyken already has a rough draft of the plan in his head. But he needs their friends to help him with the execution. If all goes well, it will be the perfect surprise for Jada. Inside his office, Luan can't sit still as he waits for the clock to strike 5 in the afternoon. When it did, he immediately turned the laptop off and rushed out of the office. He almost ran down the stairs and to the parking lot, not even paying attention to her secretary's goodbye. When he got to his car, he started the engine and drove off. "Hey man, slow down!" Robin called him out because he almost fell on the way to Jada's unit.

Robin was smoking in the corridor, and he saw how he came out of the fire exit, panting and drenched in sweat. Luan was certain that he looked like he was chased by goons. "The elevator took forever, dude!" he snapped.
He chuckled at Lyken before pressing his cigarette to the trash can next to him. Placing an arm over his shoulders, he opened the door of Jada's unit for them to get in.
"What's the fuss about, Ly? I canceled two meetings because Bambi told me you need us, and it's urgent," he asked as he sat down on the couch.
When they got in, everyone was already there, so he decided not to waste any time and started putting things into action. Immediately!
"Guys, I called you all here because I need your help! I'm planning to propose to Jada when she comes back from Brazil," he looked at them one by one as he informed them of his plan. "What?" Robin exclaimed.
Both Ada and Bambi shrieked.
"For real?" Kobe asked in disbelief.
Honey moved next to Lyken to hug him. When she let go of him, their attention was caught by someone sobbing.
Turning their heads to Steve, they saw him wiping his eyes with his head bowed down. "Congrats, dude," he told Lyken as he sniffed.
When Steve calmed down, he filled them in on the details of his plan. "Ly, you can't do it like that! I already told you I don't have a new passport yet!" Bambi refuted, looking rather annoyed than happy after hearing about the plan. "Bam, calm down! You are not going with Lyken, okay? Not one of us is going!" Honey explained to him.
Pausing for a moment as if trying to process what Honey said, he slowly sat down on the floor. "If we're not going, how will we see the proposal?" he asked.
Honey sighed in frustration, "Bambi, did you even listen to what Lyken said?" she asked, starting to get annoyed.
"Bam, only Lyken will fly to Brazil to fetch Jada. That's part of the surprise. When they're both back, Lyken will take her to the restaurant straight from the airport." Kobe explained slowly for Bambi to understand.
Yes, he explained it slowly, word for word. Not sure that Bambi already understood, he eventually nods at Kobe.
They went back to discussing the plan. Lyken explained everything again in full detail because he didn't want to mess up any part of it.
'It's now or never, Lyken Fontanilla.'
