One Wild Night

Chapter 201 - Nuru Massage



"Good morning babe," Bryan greeted Sonia when he slowly walked into the living room and saw her seated by the dining, dressed in just a lace peach bralette top and a black silk boxer pant as she tapped away at the keyboard of her laptop.

"Good morning, lover. Did you sleep well?" Sonia asked with a yawn as she shifted her gaze from her laptop to look at Bryan who was dressed in just his boxers.

"I didn't. You were not there when I woke up," Bryan complained, making Sonia giggle.

"You liar! You claim you didn't sleep well, yet you slept so soundly that you didn't notice when I left the bed," she said accusingly when Bryan stopped beside her and leaned forward to peck both sides of her cheeks. 

"I'm serious. I may have slept soundly but I didn't sleep well," Bryan said with a straight face, making her roll her eyes. 

"What are you so busy with that made you leave me anyway?" Bryan asked as he pulled one of the dining chairs closer to her and sat on it.

"My story. I got an idea last night, so I woke up call my editor," Sonia said, and then paused when she remembered something. 

"What is wrong?" Bryan asked, noticing her sudden discomfort as though she wanted to say something she didn't like. 

"Uhm, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but do you mind attending my book signing event with me? My editor thinks that a lot of people would turn up if they find out that you're coming and that would help us sell even more books. I'm not trying to use you or..."

"Even if you are trying to use me, I don't think I mind," Bryan cut in with a small smile before she could finish, "And I honestly think we've gone beyond this stage in our relationship where we apologize for such things, or where you think that you have to explain so much. Don't think I don't know how much you hate this reality show. I know you really hate having your life put out there for the entire public, yet you have been doing it for my sake. The least I can do is attend your book signing event with you," Bryan said, making Sonia let out a sigh of relief.

"Thanks, babe. That means so much to me," Sonia said with a sweet smile as she leaned forward and brushed his lips with hers. 

"Anything for you my love. So what is this idea you got?" Bryan asked as Sonia pulled back from him.

"I want to write a trilogy. It's on the Hank siblings, but I won't be using your family name, so don't worry," she rushed to assure him. 

"You are writing about my family?" Bryan asked with a slight frown.

"Just you and your siblings. The first book would be based on your brother and Lucy. The second would be about us, and then the last would be your sister Jade," Sonia said, leaving out Harry's name, as she wasn't completely certain about how Bryan would react to her hooking up his sister with his brother's best friend yet. 

"Jade isn't in a relationship," Bryan pointed out.

"I'm certain she will be in one eventually. I will focus on the first two stories for the time being. This brings me to another idea I got," Sonia said, making Bryan raise a brow. 

"It seems like you are full of ideas today. Let's hear it," Bryan said, looking at her expectantly.

"Uhm, I've always wanted to do this. But seeing how my fanbase has increased, thanks to you, I was thinking that maybe I could create a writing app where I can write and also support other writers," Sonia said with an uncertain smile. 

"An app? Why? You no longer want to publish the hard copies of your books? You should know that there are people who do not like reading soft copies of books. I don't," Bryan pointed out thoughtfully.

"I know that. I still intend to publish the hard copies, but I think doing this will make me more committed to my writing. So when a story is completed on the app, I will publish and release the hardcopy to those who want it. That way I can earn more as well," Sonia explained as she eagerly awaited his approval. 

"Hmm, okay. Although I don't know much about this stuff, I think it might be good. Do you need my help?" Bryan asked after thinking about it for a moment.

"Your help?" Sonia asked in confusion.

"Yes. Is there something you would like me to do to support you and make the whole thing easier and faster for you?" Bryan repeated, and Sonia's lips pulled up in a wide smile. 

"After I've set it up you could help me invite your celebrity friends and colleagues to the launching. And it would be great if you can talk about it on your social media pages too," Sonia said hopefully.

"Done. What else?" Bryan asked again, and Sonia shook her head.

"Nothing. Everything else is in place," she assured him with a yawn.

"I could help you get someone to create the app and pay..."

"No. Don't worry about that. I've got it covered. I really appreciate your support though," Sonia said with a smile as she checked the time on her laptop and shut it down, "The production crew will be here soon. We should get ready," Sonia said without enthusiasm when she noticed that it was past nine already. 

"Tomorrow is the last day of the shoot. Hang in there, okay?" Bryan said apologetically.

"I can't wait. We are done with shooting the commercials, right? Why don't we sit out by the poolside today? Or are you up for a date?" Sonia asked hopefully as she stretched in her seat. 

"You mean during the shoot or after?" Bryan asked as he got off his seat and went to stand behind Sonia. 

"I don't want to go on a date with you for the cameras," Sonia complained, and then closed her eyes and moaned softly when she felt Bryan's hands on her bare shoulders as he gently knead her stiff muscles.

"We can stay by the poolside. I promise to take you out on lots of dates after this," Bryan said as he arranged her braids on her back so that they wouldn't get in his way as he massaged her. 

"You should. We need to get ready before they arrive," Sonia murmured with her eyes closed, "That feels so good."

"You should relax and enjoy it," Bryan countered as he looked down at her while he continued to rub her stiff shoulders. 

"But..."

"No buts. Between the reality show and your writing, you barely have time to relax. Perhaps we should go to a massage parlor on our first date?" Bryan said thoughtfully.

"I could get a Nuru massage," Sonia suggested.

Bryan's hands paused on her shoulder, "Forget I said anything about a massage parlor. I will massage you myself," Bryan said stiffly, making her giggle.

"Why? I think it will be fun," Sonia said, turning to look at him. 

"You don't mind a naked lady massaging me with her body?" Bryan asked incredulously.

"I'm not sure I mind. Why? Does it bother you that a naked guy might massage me?" Sonia asked looking at him with a small smile.

"Yes, it bothers me. And I find it annoying that you don't mind that someone else might touch me," Bryan said without bothering to hide his hurt and annoyance.

"Come on, Bryan! Don't be like that. We haven't even defined our relationship yet, remember? Okay, would you rather a guy massages you and a girl..."

"Ew! There is no freaking way I'm letting a naked guy come anywhere near my body!" Bryan cut in with a look of utter disgust which made Sonia giggle.

"Okay. I see it's not going to work. We could just get the oil and do it ourselves. How about that?" Sonia asked, and then smile when she saw the way Bryan's eyes lit up at the thought of it. 

"You would give me a Nuru massage?" Bryan asked, and then smiled when Sonia bobbed her head, "I will order the oil right away," Bryan said excitedly as he quickly headed for the bedroom.

"Hey! Go easy with your legs!" Sonia called after him with a giggle as she picked up her phone and followed him.
