Chapter 81: OVERSIZE BED AND EMPTY BEDROOM

"What are you watching, actually?" Ramon couldn't help asking when he saw Hailee cover herself with a blanket every time a violent scene began, and almost seventy percent of the film she chose was filled with such scenes.

So, what did Hailee actually want to see? Ramon wasn't even sure if this girl understood the storyline.

After a long debate in front of Ramon's door, the man finally gave up and let Hailee watch the horror film she wanted in his room, because it seemed like Ramon needed some time to relax too, he had even forgotten the last time he watched a movie, because from what he could remember, he would always be too busy with a job that seemed like it would never end.

"Shh! Don't be so loud, I'm listening," Hailee protested from under the covers, in response to Ramon's scolding.

Meanwhile Ramon could only sigh, unable to understand this girl's behavior.

A moment later Hailee's head popped out from under the blanket to watch a scene in the film that was less tense and bloody. However, when one of the players who was being killed was screaming, the girl immediately covered her head again.

Wrapping all her body up to the head. "What happened, what happened? Who is being killed?" she asked.

"You can take off the covers and see for yourself what happens, you know!" Ramon exclaimed irritably. He wasn't sure if this was the relaxing time he'd imagined a moment ago.

"Don't want to, don't want to!" The blanket wrapped around Hailee moved, indicating that the girl was shaking her head. "Just tell me what happened."

Hailee, literally, had forced him to watch scenes of the carnage and tell her what he saw, as if he were a storyteller.

"How can I watch when I have to talk to you?" Ramon rejected Hailee's ridiculous idea.

"Just tell me who died!" Hailee insisted and because there was still a heart wrenching scream from the actor who was dying, Hailee still refused to lift the blanket that covered her. "Just say it briefly. My weak heart can't see scenes like that." Now Hailee was sulking.

Ramon closed his eyes. What 'weak heart'? Wasn't this a film of her own choice? Nobody forced her to watch this.

"You are such a pain," Ramon said angrily.

Even though that's what he said, the man who was famous for his cold nature and didn't really sociaLise with his peers, finally relented and complied with Hailee's request.

With a tone of grumbling and scolding here and there, Ramon recounted what he had seen and occasionally gave off his speculations as to what was coming next, which was mostly true.

Meanwhile, Hailee would follow Ramon's words, if the man said the scene was safe for her, then she would come out of hiding, but when the storyline get tensed again, Hailee would hide again.

This was what continued until the film was finished.

"It's finally over…" said Hailee, staring at the end credits that were still running on the screen. "Want to watch another movie again?" Hailee asked, turning to her side only to find Ramon glaring at her with a fierce gaze.

"No," Ramon replied curtly and immediately lifted the blanket covering Hailee. "Now get out of my room."

"Just a moment, I'm still scared," Hailee complained. "Give me ten minutes to calm down."

Ramon looked at the girl beside him. He really wanted to know what was going on Hailee's mind. If she was that scared of watching horror movies, she shouldn't have thought of seeing it in the first place.

"Get out now or I'll lock the door and you sleep here with me?" Ramon raised his eyebrows suggestively. "Besides, you said that you're afraid, right?"

Hearing that, Hailee frowned. "Pervert," she sneered and then got out of Ramon's bed and walked out of the room hurriedly.

Hailee knew Ramon enough to know that he would never say things that he didn't mean.

After Ramon heard the sound of the door closing as he watched the end credits run on the screen, for some reason he felt that this room and bed was too big for him to occupy alone...

==============

The next morning, because Hailee was going with Lis to the fitting of her wedding dress, she was up very early.

However, by that time Ramon was about to leave and Hailee only saw him getting into the car. Looks like he has another meeting out of town that she don't know about… Hailee didn't feel so comfortable to ask about Ramon's schedule yet.

And as promised, exactly at eight o'clock, after Hailee finished breakfast, Lis came and they immediately went to Margaretha Lamos private boutique or better known as the Diva.

On the way, Hailee and Lis didn't talk much, because she seemed busy and Hailee didn't want to disturb her.

"How do you feel?" asked Lis after ending the phone call. "Your wedding will take place next week. It feels like the preparation is too hasty and I hope you like the concept. "

So far, Lis had been the most excited of all, about arranging Ramon and Hailee's wedding party. Almost everything was handled by her. Even if she asked Hailee she would always agree to the extent that made Lis decide everything herself and let Hailee see the end result.

But, it was better that way, because even Hailee didn't know what to do and Lis seemed to be having fun arranging everything.

"They are excellent… thank you very much," Hailee answered politely, but at the same time, her politeness gave off the impression of keeping a distance.

Seeing this, Lis could only sigh softly and embrace Hailee. "I think you have to get used to calling me 'mother', because soon you will be my daughter too."

Hailee smiled when she heard that and complied with Lis's request. "Mother,"she said.

"Good, good…" Lis smiled in satisfaction because Hailee was being so cute. At least, Hailee was not a troublesome girl and as long as she was Ramon's choice, then Lis would comply happily. "Oh, I have something to ask..."

"Hm?" Hailee turned her head and looked at Lis, whose expression had now turned serious. "What's wrong, Mom?"

"I didn't mean to interfere in this," Lis said, looking hesitant in conveying her thoughts. "I just wanted to ask, don't you want to invite your family?"

"Ah, about that…" Hailee just remembered that she hadn't said anything about this to Lis.
