Transmigrated Into A Billionaire

Chapter 35 The kiss

"I guess we both have to drink up…" Rachel said.

As if that wasn't awkward enough, the background song started playing I love you by billie eilish,

her cheeks reddened at how the cliche the timing was, she avoided looking at Yandel who just sat

beside on the couch starring straight ahead.

"You..,"

"I," they both said at the same time as their face went from worry to a wide smile.

"I guess this is where we blame the wine and the song for the moment," Yandel said licking his lip

chuckling, he rose his head to finally stare her in her beautiful brown eyes that until recently started

holding alot of fire in them, he felt like a moth in its youth strongly attracted the the ever burning flame

that only seemed to blaze more.

"Wow…" Rachel said, it was definitely one of those cliche moment, she could feel her heart

starting a gentle race as the cause of the race was sipping in her soul and he kept starring at her give

her the most floaty feeling she has ever felt in her life.

"Keep an open mind, be difficult, remember they hurt you," Rachel said to herself.

"What's the time?," Rachel asked looking away as the end of the song came about the corner and

she could the feel the pressure of the stare wearing off, all it took was a harmless question to lift her out

of the trance she was still new to.

Yandel on the other hand was far from processing the question, he just watched her fade off as he

started imagining a thousand beautiful lifes they coulf have together but she was gradually sipping on

some drink of reality as the fire in her eyes died out and was replaced by another placed in a different

direction, quenching the flame he had started between them.

"Wow, it's thirty minutes past nine," Yandel said quickly standing up and rubbing his hands through

his hair.

"Yeah, I guess it's time for me to go," Rachel said as she let Yandel lead him out of his private

study. When they reached downstairs, they realized the party was almost dead, just few passed out

people here and there with Ethan and Emily with some of their friends cleaning up.

"Are you heading out already?," Emily asked her, feeling bad that she couldn't spend some time

with her and try to bond.

"I'm sorry we didn't get enough bonding time," Emily said.

"It's fine, there's always another time," Rachel said smiling as she gave her a light hug.

"And sorry I didn't get you guys anything," Rachel said as she let her go.

"Well….You could always make it up to us anytime," Emily said smiling.

"Yeah, Anytime" Ethan said after her.

"Alright, see you guys later, make sure you actually finish cleaning up," Yandel said leading Rachel

out of the house.

"Hey wait, where are you going?," Emily asked looking confused, it was already getting late.

"To give her a ride of course, where else would I be going," Yandel said as if it was clearly obvious.

"You don't have to worry Yandel, I can order an uber, you can stay and watch after the kids and

make sure they reach home safe," Rachel said holding his shoulder.

"The twins can take care of that, besides they have enough guest rooms to accommodate their

friends, it's no big of a deal," Yandel said.

Seeing that she didn't have any arguing point again, she let it go, there was nothing she could do,

she needed to just hold on and stay focused through the super awkward ride. They reached the car

and she thought about going to the back sit but that would be childish, so she got into the passenger

seat and just looked out the window.

She could feel sleep making her lid heavy but the cold of the night still managed to sip into her

body, winter was really getting close. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

"Please could you turn up the car heater?," Rachel asked as she couldn't battle the cold anymore.

"You feeling cold?," Yandel asked.

"No, I just wanted to know how five minutes in hell will feel," Rachel sarcastically.

"A simple yes would have sufficed," Yandel said rolling his eyes.

"Whatever,"

"Have you planned on showing your parents the video?," Yandel asked out of no where surprising

her. To be honest, she had thought about it, there was only one way to go about it, and that was just to

plain out tell them about it, or though dhe knew her Mom will take the hit because she has always liked

Xander.

"I don't know,"

"I guess I'll just rip thr band aid off and just give it to them straight," Rachel said.

"That's good," Yandel said nodding his head slowly and faced the road back, he gwas debating

bringing up the kiss, he knows he wasn't the only one who felt what he felt, but she looked like she had

a lot on her plate,bringing up the kiss now might make him seem like he was just self centered.

"If you wanna talk about it, you know we can talk about it, we are adults." Racheal deadpanned,

she was tired of seeing him fidgeting and tapping the steering wheel rapidly.

"What are you talking about?," Yandel faked confusion like he hadn't been over thinking his last

brain cells to death.

"You are acting restless and fidgeting because something is disturbing you, I don't want to get into

another car accident," Rachel said straight up.

"Wait a sec, you have been in a car accident before??!!" Yandel exclaimed.

"Not the point Baldwin, get what is disturbing off your chest or forever hold it in," Rachel said with

finality. There wasn't any element of joke in her tone as she stared at him dead in the eye. He stared at

her for a little bit before fixing his eyes on the road.

"You want me to talk about the kiss?" Yandel said.

"If that's what's disturbing you bro, just say it."

He doesn't know if he was just exaggerating it but when she called him bro, some part of his heart

died or failed, he doesn't know how to put it exactly.

"I'm not your bro," Yandel murmured under his breathe.

"What did you say?" Rachel asked.

"Nothing!!,"

"Look if the kiss meant nothing to you, it meant nothing to me,"

"There is no need to stress about it, Okay?" Yandel said looking at her before looking back at the

gate of her estate.

"Did it mean something to you Yandel?" Rachel asked.

"I don't know, did It?"

"Look I don't know ok, it is what it is," Yandel said stopping in front of the gate.

"Yandel look at me," Rachel said.

He just starred straight ahead as his headlights highlighted the bars in front of them, it clearly

meant something to him but he didn't want to say it.

"Yandel, I said look at me," Rachel said again starring at him. This time, he looked at her, but with

no light in his eyes, just dead lights giving her chills, they were so opposite from what she saw when

they were in his study, now they were just eyes of a man in a mask, every emotion hidden behind.

"What do you see?" Yandel asked her.

"Nothing," Rachel said.

"You are not giving off any emotion and that seems too look like a personal choice," Rachel

replied.

"What do you want me to show you?!!"

"Pain,"

"Disappointment,"

"Agony,"

"Helpless,"

"Loneliness,"

"Because you won't see shit Araceli," Yandel said turning away.

"You won't see me crying on a monday,"

Yandel said with his voice breaking at the end, she has already heard weakness in his voice, she

had won. "Yandel…"

"NO!!!" Yandel yelled moving away from her touch of sympathy.

"No…" He said more calmly with resign written all over his features.

"You have won alright, you have seen me broken, you have seen my tears,that's enough." Yandel

said.

"This was never a game," Rachel said trying to hold him, but later decided not to.

"Yes it was, it always was."

"God, I used to always tease you and insult you to your face because of how humble and meek

you were, I was angry, you would let people walk all over you and you will still act nice to everyone,"

"Now you changed, and I fell you, but now I see it's a huge mistake on my path,"

"We have a good friendship going on, I don't want to ruin it," Yandel said looking At her smiling.

She thought he was crying but he wasn't, even though she could swear she heard his voice break

ehich meant worse, she was crying inside like men do.

"I guess this is goodbye and goodluck," Yandel said starting up the car again.

"Yeah, goodbye." Rachel said

She came down from the car and waved him a last good bye before heading through the gate into

the estate. She would think about Yandel later but for now, she was occupied with telling her parents

about Xander cheating on her.

On reach her house, as God will have it, their personal cars were home showing they were both

around, she opened the door and greeted some maids before heading straight for their room, only to

hear their voice coming from the living room, with Ace.

"Wow Rachel, way to ruin a family night," Rachel thought to herself.

"Hey baby, how are you," Mrs Garcia asked her as she entered the living room.

"Yeah, How are you, I heard you left the office early," Mr Garcia pitch in.

"Yeah...Uhm something came up, do i have something to tell you guys," Rachel said watching both

their face turn a slight shade of worry

"Ace can you wait for me in the game room,I feel like battling you today," Rachel said smiling at

him.

"Yesssss,you are so losing," Ace yelled excitedly while running to the Game room forgetting that

he was watching a movie with his parents.

"Mom...Dad, I think Xander has been cheating on me and I have the video to proove it,".....
