Passion In The Game 2

Do Me The Honor

Rayna awoke for her sleep, groggy. She dragged herself to her bathroom and washed her face. She began to brush her teeth and was looking in the mirror. Her eyes locked with the dazzling ring on her finger. Rayna gasped once she recognized it as her old engagement ring. She dropped her tooth brush and marveled at it.

"Anthony?" she called. Rayna went into her bedroom only to realize Anthony's side of the bed was empty. He clearly slept there because his side of the bed was still unmade. She went out into the hallway. "Kids?" Rayna checked their rooms to see that they were gone. She ran downstairs to the kitchen and found a wonderful breakfast waiting for her on the stove. To eat, she had pancakes, chicken sausage, eggs, fruit salad and some mango juice.

Rayna noticed that she had a note on her glass.

"Eat up. You have a long day ahead of you."

Rayna knew it was Ivy's handwriting and smiled. She obliged the note and eat her breakfast. Afterwards, she went to wash her plate and her phone began to ring. It was a text from Sawyer.

"Your appointment is at 9. Your car is on it's way."

Rayna texted back. "What's going on? What appointment?"

Sawyer didn't reply. Rayna was confused. However, as instructed she got dressed and got in the black SUV. Rayna examined her surroundings as she was taken to her spa. The driver got out and helped Rayna out of the truck.

"I'll be waiting for you when you come out, Ms. Clarke." he said. Rayna walked inside of the spa.

"Oh, Ms. Clarke. So glad you could join us. We have everything prepared for your time with us." the receptionist said.

Rayna was shown her locker to put her personally things. The woman told her what she had scheduled and that someone would be tending to her, making sure she had everything she needed. Once Rayna was in her robe and all set, she started out with a nice back massage. This was the most relaxed Rayna had ever felt in a long time.

Once the back massage was over, Rayna was escorted to get her manicure and pedicure while someone fed her strawberries. Afterwards, was a facial then a trip to the sauna. She figured this had to be Anthony's doing. Only Anthony would drop some dough for her to get pampered like this. And her ring...Rayna had an idea of what was going on.

Afterwards, Rayna got back into the truck. She leaned into the front seat. "So, where else are you supposed to be taking me?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Clarke. I was instructed to not give details of your adventures." The driver said. "Just sit back and enjoy the ride."

Rayna smirked and sat back in her seat. The driver pulled off and took Rayna to a nice restaurant in downtown Houston. She walked into the restaurant and was greeted by the maitre 'D. 

"Are you Ms. Clarke?" she asked.

"Yes. I am." Rayna said.

"We have your table ready. Follow me." Rayna followed the young woman to her table. There was already a waiter with her food and a bottle of her favorite wine. She laughed to herself as she remembered talking about this place to Anthony and her meal of choice that she had ordered many times before. Rayna loved how he paid attention to the little things and how he didn't miss a beat.

Rayna took a seat and looked to the waiter. "May I asked who arranged for this?"

"Ma'am, all I am allowed to say is that someone really loves you." he said smiling. He pulled an envelope from his apron and handed it to her. Rayna opened it and it was a note with a credit card attached.

"Enjoy your lunch, my love. The card is for your next destination. Buy whatever you like, Rayna. With love, Anthony."

Rayna smiled and slipped the envelope into her purse. She dug into her lunch, enjoying her day so far. She liked being pampered but, couldn't get over the effort that he was putting in for this day.
