He pulled away from the kiss and looked at me, smiling softly before wrapping his arms around me again. I couldn't help but smile too. We stayed like that for about two minutes — just silence, warmth, and my heart literally doing parkour inside my chest.
We both pulled away from the hug.
"Jay," he called me.
"Mhm?" I said.
"So… let's make it official?" he asked, smiling like an idiot.
"Of course!" I said, grinning.
"Let's go home, it's getting late," I said, checking the time — 7:18 PM.
He held my hand, started the car, and drove away from Ci-n's condo. The ride was quiet, but I could see it — the happiness in his eyes. They sparkled like they were sprinkled with white and gold glitter.
When we finally reached my house, he still didn't let go of my hand.
"Please don't leave, Jay," he said, giving me the cutest puppy eyes ever. His eyes looked just like Ci-n's. Wow. Father like son, huh?
"I don't want to… but I have no choice," I said, pouting a little.
His expression softened, then turned sad.
"It's okay, Jay. Goodnight," he said with a small, forced smile.
I got out of the car and waved at him. He smiled once more before driving away.
I opened the gate quietly and stepped inside. Huh? No lectures, no glares, no "Where have you been, young lady?" Nothing??? What???
"Miss Jay," one of the maids said, "Sir Angelo, Miss Gema, and Sir Aries wanted to inform you they'll be away for two days."
"O-okay… business meetings?" I asked.
"I'm not sure, Miss Jay," she said politely.
I ran straight to my room, basically vibrating with excitement. TWO DAYS OF FREEDOM!
I showered, threw on my comfy shorts and shirt, then flopped on my bed. My phone buzzed — it was Ci-n.
📩 From Young_Snake[Can I send you the picture of me wearing the dress?]
📩 To Young_Snake[Of course]
He forwarded the pic — and OMG! HE LOOKED SO CUTE.
📩 To Young_Snake[SO CUTE!!]
📩 From Young_Snake[I know 😌 Let me forward this to Rakki.]
And just like that, he went offline. Wow, this kid really had to abandon me.
Then — another buzz. From Keifer. And yes, I changed his contact name to Keif. Erm... kind of weird, I know.
📩 From Keif[Just got home, babe.]
BA—BABE???? 😳 Wow okay, so we're doing pet names now? Cute.
📩 To Keif[Send me the pic.]
He replied faster than lightning ⚡
📩 From Keif[What pic? 😏]
I swear, I have never ever texted someone who was this stupid.
📩 To Keif[The one in the dress I bought you, don't be dirty-minded please..]
After three minutes, he actually sent it — and okay fine, he looked kinda pretty not gonna lie.
📩 From Keif[Done 😌]
📩 To Keif[SOO CUTE!]
📩 From Keif[I told you, it'd be much cuter if you wore the dress, babe 😉]
Tsk. I bought it, now he's acting all confident.
📩 To Keif[😁]
📩 From Keif[So… date tomorrow?]
Kuya Angelo won't be here for two days. So YESS, I guess?
📩 To Keif[Sure.]
Wait! Jay, what have you done? A date with the King of Ulupongs?!
Before I could even delete the reply, he had already saw it. Yeah, I'm dead!
