Chapter 25: Intimate Moment
"Actually, I would like that, but it seems you’ve forgotten what I mentioned last night. I don’t want to push you into something that big. You can trust me to wait until you’re ready. What I meant was that I’d like to help you fix up this apartment.
Even though the interior painting is done, there’s still a lot left to do. I noticed another can of paint in a different color, so I assume you’ll be painting the exterior too. The bathroom and kitchen also need some work," Ric explained.
"Oh, is that it? Well, I plan to head back to the resort today since I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to Dylan yesterday properly," Cammy said.
’Damn it! She can’t go back to the resort yet. That womanizer is still there,’ Ric thought.
"But maybe you should paint the exterior now since that’s waterproofing paint, right? It’ll probably have a strong smell, unlike the water-based paint you used inside," Ric suggested.
"You’re right, but we could do that this morning and head back to the resort in the afternoon. I should call Felicity and Ellie—now where did I leave my phone?"
"It’s in your room. I charged it there when I woke up so you wouldn’t have to worry about it. I also turned it on, just in case Ellie or Felicity is trying to reach you" Ric replied.
"Aww, that’s so sweet of you. I’ll just leave it there for now." Cammy walked to the kitchen to put away the plastic bags that Eve had dropped off. What she didn’t notice was Ric’s reaction to her words.
’She called me sweet! I should do more things like that,’ Ric thought, trying hard to suppress a smile.
"By the way, where did you buy the coffee? It smells amazing," Cammy asked, pulling Ric’s attention back to the present.
"It’s nothing special; I just picked it up from the convenience store earlier," Ric said as he walked over to Cammy, leaving the door open for when Eve returned.
