Chapter 19
The Couple
A Few Days LaterClay looked over at Kimiko and said, "Well it looks like what you wanted finally happened."
"Huh, what do you mean, Clay?" Kimiko asked.
"Well, I mean that Raimundo and Selina are finally together."
"Oh that." Kimiko said chuckling, "Yeah, I know. It's hard to believe though."
Clay chuckled and said, "Yeah I know."
The two fell into silence as they watched the couple that was by the pond. Raimundo and Selina were sitting right next to each other with Selina's head on Raimundo's shoulder and a hand on around his waist. While Raimundo had an arm around her shoulders and was gazing very fondly at her.
The two kept watching the couple until dinner was ready.
A Week Later
Raimundo walked up behind Selina and wrapped his arms around her. He whispered in her ear, "Come with me."
Selina gave him a confused look but followed him anyway. When Raimundo finally stopped, she saw that they were in front of a lake. She recognized it as the lake that was a few miles away from the temple. She turned to Raimundo for an explanation of why exactly they were there.
"Hey Selina have you ever wanted to fly?" Raimundo asked.
"Yeah, a little. Why?"
"Do you trust me?"
"What?" Selina asked very confused by the sudden question.
"Do you trust me?"
"Well, Yeah. I guess." Selina responded.
"Great," Raimundo said as he started to go behind Selina.
"What? What are you doing Raimundo?"
"I'm going give you a lesson in flying." He said as he wrapped his arms around her. Raimundo slowly started to levitate in the air. Then he started to fly across the lake.
Selina marveled at it and put her hand gently on the water. She felt herself going up and saw Raimundo slowly heading up. They went through the air and went past the clouds. When they were above the clouds Selina was breathless at how beautiful it was. Just one look up and you could see the stars shinning in the sky.
After staying there for about fifteen minutes Raimundo slowly descended to the ground. After there feet hit the ground Selina turned around and exclaimed, "That was so beautiful! Thank you Raimundo!" After she said that she hugged Raimundo.
Raimundo could only smile and hug her back.
A Few Days Later
Raimundo was rushing around the kitchen frantically trying to get everything ready for the picnic he had planned for him and Selina. Clay entered the kitchen and saw Raimundo was rushing around like a mad man. He sighed and said, "Raimundo calm down."
Raimundo turned around to see Clay and exclaimed, "Calm down! I can't calm down! I have too much to do."
"Then let me help you."
Raimundo sighed, "Ok"
"Great, just tell me what to do." Clay said, "And I'll do it."
"Ok," Raimundo said, "The first thing you can do is to find me a basket."
"Ok." Clay said as he left to go find a basket for Raimundo.
Raimundo smiled and muttered under breath, "This just might work."
Selina caught sight of Kimiko and shouted, "Hey Kimiko can I talk to you."
Kimiko turned around and replied, "Of course." She walked over to her and said, "What's up?"
Selina sighed and said, "I'm worried."
"Worried? About what?" Kimiko asked.
"I'm worried about Raimundo. I haven't seen him all day."
"Oh! Well, I wouldn't worry about him. I'm sure Raimundo is off doing who knows what."
Selina smiled slightly before saying, "Yeah, he probably is. It's just that I haven't seen him all day. Have you seen him?"
"No." Kimiko sighed, "I haven't, but Clay left to go find him so you have nothing to worry about, ok?"
"Ok." Selina said. After a moment of silence had passed Selina said, "Hey Kimiko would you help me find Raimundo."
"Sure." She replied.
With that the two left to go find Raimundo.
Raimundo was frantically looking over the list he had and making sure he had everything. Clay put a hand on Raimundo's shoulder and said, "Calm down Rai."
Raimundo started to calm down and together with Clay, they made sure that everything on Raimundo's list was in the basket. When they had made sure by double checking it, Raimundo picked the basket up and said, "If you run into Selina delay for a bit so I can get this all set up. Ok?"
"Sure thing, partner." With that said Raimundo left the kitchen.
Clay was cleaning up the mess the two had made when Selina and Kimiko walked in. "Hey Clay, have you Raimundo anywhere."
"No I haven't." Clay lied, "I'm sorry."
"Oh." Selina said disheartened while looking away.
"Why are you looking for him anyway?"
Selina lifted her head to look at Clay before saying sorrowfully, "It's just that I haven't seen Raimundo at all today, and I'm starting to get worried about him."
"Oh, well I wouldn't worry about him, he's just probably doing various things and hasn't had the time to come and find you."
Selina sniffled and said with her voice cracking, "I hope⦠I hope you're right."
"Hey," Clay said, "I'm sure Raimundo's fine." He said before he went over to hug Selina.
Selina sighed and said, "I hope so."
She turned to leave but Clay stopped her by saying, "Hey Selina."
She turned around and said, "Yeah."
"Are you going to be ok?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine."
"Are you sure?"
Selina smiled and said, "Yeah, Clay, I will be. I just want to find Raimundo now."
She started to turn when Clay said, "Hey Selina."
"Yeah."
"Good luck. I know you'll find him."
"I know, it's just I want to know where he is."
"He's behind you." A voice whispered in her ear. Selina literally jumped when she heard that. She turned around and saw Raimundo standing right behind her.
"Raimundo!" She exclaimed as she threw her arms around him.
"Hey Selina. I heard you were looking for me."
"I was. I haven't seen you all day. Where have you been?" Selina asked.
"Come with me and I'll show you what I was doing."
"Ok."
She followed Raimundo to lake that was located outside and temple and gasped at what she saw. There spread out next to the lake was a blanket with a basket on top of it. "Oh Raimundo, this is wonderful. Thank you."
"You're welcome. I was hoping you would like it."
Selina smiled at him before going over to the blanket and sitting down. Raimundo did the same and opened the basket and took the food out. Selina gasped as she saw the different kinds of food that Raimundo had made. He had made orange chicken, beef and broccoli, fried rice, fried noodles, teriyaki chicken, and sweet and sour chicken. The two ate to their hearts content and put the food back when they had finished.
After they ate Selina sat in Raimundo lap and the two watched the sun set. After the sun had gone down, Selina had fallen asleep in Raimundo's lap. Raimundo smiled down at her and kissed her on the top of her head and said, "Sweet dreams, Selina"
