A Rhapsody for the Playboy Chapter Eighty
Chapter 80 – Jayler Starting at the foot of the mountain just near the city, I was already feeling the chilly breeze freshly brought upon by mother nature herself. “The air feels so fresh and clean.” I muttered while sniffing the air around us. I even faced the sky and closed my eyes as if I was feeling this day. The abundance of pine trees and others, along with the slight brush of breeze makes it feel good. “Indeed. This is only like an hour of trekking, you know, less than an hour.” “That’s fine.” “We are just going to follow this road and once we reach the end of it, that’s already the real start of the real hike.” Lance pointed at the direction of the road. There are a few houses that can be seen with towering metal gates, mostly big houses and mansions, most definitely owned by the richest people in the whole city. “There are houses here,” I muttered. We are only a few meters away from where we started. “Yep, belongs to the rich people.” “More like Beverly hills eh?” “Ki

Chapter 81 - Lance I gazed deeper into Jayler’s eyes and behind those bright hazel eyes, I the saw the truth and nothing but the truth. He’s truly serious about this and while we looked like were getting married under a tree, everything felt magical. My heart was pounding pretty fast, it’s almost as if it has its own race going on. Everything felt so perfect. The sky was a perfect shade of blue, the breeze was utterly serene and it seemed like the whole city was watching us from below. “I want to kiss you.” Jayler mouthed and his tone sounded velvety, almost as if he’s seducing me. In fact, he is actually seducing me with those eyes that are telepathically speaking to mine and I am being seduced. I’m willing to be seduced. “Did you miss it?” I teased him just to see how he’d react. Little did he know, I’m the one who missed his lips. He might feel like he missed me so much but I missed him just as much if not more. “I-I do.” “Shut up and kiss me then!” I spat and just like that,

Chapter 82 – Lance I sat at the passenger’s seat as Yhannie drove. We both looked like we haven’t slept for days mostly because we’ve been extremely busy with a lot of stuff regarding this upcoming wedding. I didn’t realize organizing weddings most especially huge weddings like this was going to be that complicated and exhausting. In addition to that, I had my part time job at Fidelitea and the nightly gigs. I’ve been working pretty hard for the first time since I dropped out of college. However, I will say I’ve felt wonderful and galvanized even though I’m absolutely exhausted for the past few days. The last time I felt this way was when I was still in high school where I was the president of the student council. I felt very energized to be working nonstop and I’m going to thank the presence of Jayler in my mind and heart. It’s been several days since the last time I hanged out with him and I might not be talking or seeing him but the presence of his soul was just there motivating me

Chapter 83 – Lance I don’t have any idea why I’m sitting with the all-star cast of this grand wedding during dinner. Obviously, I’m the odd one out and if I wasn’t Yhannie’s assistant, I’d probably be having this dinner at the other table along with my bandmates and some random folks. I feel really out of place and I had to put on that fraudulent mask called smile just to get along with everybody. My social skills are on point even though I feel like I don’t deserve to be in this table. Dominic and Valentine sat right beside each other and it’s really painted onto their faces that they’re both nervous and excited at the very same time. If I was in Dominic or Valentine’s shoes, I’d be shitting my pants. Thankfully, I’m just an assistant and their wedding singer. Beside the conversation, the best thing about this dinner was the food. We are having beef steak and a whole variety of seafood that I haven’t even tasted before in my life. Of course, we are at the beach, seafood’s swimming

Chapter 84 – Lance “You may now kiss each other!” The priest announced after pronouncing Dominic and Valentine as husband and husband. Everybody brought out their phones and began capturing the moment. “Shit, wait, I need to film this.” Yhannie slammed her purse onto my chest once again as she quickly raised her phone to film Nick and Val at the altar. Thankfully, she’s over with the whimpering and the crying because I’m sick of her emotion and it was like a virus and it’s spreading on me. I know this moment is very much special to her just as it was special to Dominic but she’s got to have to get her shit together, she still has a lot of things to check once we go to the hotel hall. I know I have to get my shit together too because I have to perform in the next few hours. The smile on both Dominic and Valentine’s face was just the most priceless thing that I’ve ever seen in this grand wedding. They still both have teary eyes but everyone could discern how joyous their souls and hea

Chapter 85 – Jayler “Yow, what is wrong with you man? You’ve been acting pretty weird lately.” Kenneth began. We were having lunch and I’m assuming he noticed how I’ve been playing with my food instead of just eating it. “What?” I asked and I was seemingly on another planet. Even though I heard him pretty clear, it took a moment for me to process what he just asked. “See, you’re spacing out.” He added. “No, I wasn’t.” I shook my head trying to be defensive. “Seriously, Jayler. We’ve been noticing changes. You’ve been acting un-Jayler-like lately.” Jasper butted in. “…” I just gave them a certain stare before eventually ignoring them. I don’t know what to say, I’ve been having a lot of mixed emotions recently and I don’t even know if they would understand me if I just confessed everything. “Look at that,” Kenneth pointed at me. “That’s very un-Jayler of you.” “Yeah, you just ignored us.” “I-I.” I paused and took a deep breath. Here we go again. I might just have to put on anoth

Chapter 86 – Jayler “I’m so sorry. That must be pretty hard for you.” Franco uttered with his very understanding tone and I can’t help but feel a little bit better. Had I known about their existence a long time ago, I would’ve already talked to them. I’d probably already ditched Jasper and Kenneth in exchange for Franco and Drake. I’m just hoping that after having this conversation, I would at least feel good about myself that I don’t have to hide to a few people. “Thanks guys.” “We are all going through that same hiding bullshit, aren’t we? And we totally understand how it’s hard for you to stay hidden in the closet.” Franco followed up. “My parents are very religious and it’s not like the modern religious people, they’re still stuck in the old belief that all homos are going straight up to hell.” Drake opened up and he’s totally relatable in so many levels. “Mine too. My dad, mostly. He’s very conservative and I’ve been lying to them that I have a crush on this certain girl jus

Chapter 87 – Jayler The next morning was both promising and frightening. I’m more than determined to own this day and finally tell Kenneth and Jasper about my true sexuality because if not now, when? When is a very difficult question because what if I never tell them and they’d go on with their own lives without knowing who I really am as their friend? And while I’m still veiled in fear, I’m still looking forward to knowing their reaction may it be violent, negative or positive. It took me hours last night just to enter some data in my heart and mind. I promised to myself that I’m going to be okay with whatever reaction I get from Kenneth and Jasper. I took the fastest in the shower and when I went downstairs to have breakfast, I noticed how everything changed overnight. Or at least that’s how it came off to me. My mom was now wearing her best smile that she has not worn in a very long while. She’s even serving dad, giving him some additional kisses and some pick-up lines as if they’

The three of them left Bradey who was enjoying the company of beautiful girls grinding with him. He surrendered to his bed and pleaded for the mercy of sleep to come and rescue him butit won't just come. He began thinking about what he said a few hours earlier, at first it sounded funny and even more insane but it could possibly be the solution to his problem. Dating a man.He was always open to the idea even before he met Samantha, but he couln't just take the risk without properly thinking about it, plus he wasn't gay at all. Day by day, he is losing every singledrop of hope he had to the point that he is starting to become desperate. The thought of getting old alone was squeezing his spinal cord; he never wanted to be left alone in this world like her mother.Richard was sitting taciturnly in front of his computer monitor, tapping away the keyboard, and while sipping some of the Matcha he bought from where he worked, he did not turned hisfocus away fro

After the kiss everything went crazily awkward yet it felt like doubled heaven. However there had been no clear apprehension of moving from sleep to consciousness or if he did ever had the chance to sleep at all. At first he was just lying around eyes wide open firmly fixed above the idle ceiling. Usually things always do sink in as swift as a blink of an eye but now it actually took about less than twenty-four hours for him just to fully process and accept everything that happened. It's sure is real and it was wild, hungry, ardent, and awfully wrong in a way yet he wanted it all.He needed every second of it.Not that he was regretting it or something but it sure opened the closet to the realization of how sexually confused he is. Jasper and Kenneth kept on asking him about when will he ask somebody out, or when will he fuck somebody and as a response he was just telling them words of wisdom. It was obviously hilarious but, even if you consider how smart he is, he jus

Kenneth's increasing excitement almost gave a successful infection to Jasper and Jayler, as soon as the lazy tattooed bouncer let them in without even having some second thoughts or even laying an eye to verify their legality, they started moving with the funky beat playing within the background. Clearly, even a nine year old kid could tell, they seem to resonate sheen light of minority within them though, in the most teenager sense of thinking, they dressed themselves plausibly in accordance and tried to be as oblivious as possible. They were successful about it, no one noticed and even if someone actually noticed they wouldn't give a damn anyway. They were just having fun and having fun means breaking rules, or at least that's how teenagers believe it to be."Oh lord I’ve got to admit I missed this damn place” Kenneth whistled.“Are you fucking kidding me Kenneth?” Jasper blurted in response while giving him a disbelieving glare.“Well, yeah I was here yesterday and the day before t

The long and tiring day finally reeled to an end, Richard arrived at his unit at exactly eleven pm with the thought of Jayler actually staying in, and as usual like yesterday and the day before that,there was no sign of Jayler to be found. He was not fine with it, he doesn't understand why or how did something like this be happening to him but he felt like just being with him soothes allthe sores of a tiring day, but he has to be fine with it, and of course realizing the mere fact that his shift ends at 10 pm, Jayler probably had gone home, he has some parents and a sister toworry for his safety. He has a family, a sweet thing that he had once. And this is Friday night, and Friday nights were supposed to be the youngest of the young nights for him, and even if heis already at the early stages of getting real old to this crappy life, he and his friends still have the finest time to seek pleasure with their party people mindset. The clamorous thought of feeling

Friday came crashing down like a tremendous blazing fireball of blessing, aside from the mere fact that Fridays were always a blessing, it was the last day of Jayler's three day suspension andafter that he can finally return back to school. He woke up very much delighted with the idea that it was all over at last, and, just like the fresh and lustrous morning light, his smile was the brightest.He took the shower with such ease and pleasure while singing some part of a certain song, humming happily into its funky and perky beats and later on doing some awkward dance moves.He arrived thirty minutes earlier today at Richard's condo unit, appearing quite youthful and reinvigorated as ever. Purely for his own amusement, in the high spirits of this stirring and exciting day,Jayler had been trying to act accordingly, keeping himself pulled together, as he found how endearing Richard could be, who based on the sole evidence of his bachelor upbringing have sethi

It was past ten before Richard arrived at Fidelitea. This was the hour when he found Fidelitea most lovable; the shop was not yet the busiest, the smell of fresh teas making its way to invadehis nostrils never failed to relieve his accumulating anxiety, and he was so eager to kick start the bright day with his indefatigable enthusiasm bolstered by the good night sleep he mustered.Though, a thousand of trembling hearts were beating restlessly in close proximity within this heaving ancient mall, and many of them, after all, would be aching in agony but his heartache wasfar worse than theirs. Considering all of the things, whether all of the good or the bad, that happened in his past, he was impotently reduced into nothing but an incapacitated marionette madeout of fragile skins and broken bones with a deplorable heart from stitches of mismatched parts from varying textiles that were scraped out from the anguishing memories of all of his past lovers.Strang

"What the fuck is that?" He mumbled quietly, precisely questioning what was that that he just felt earlier. His heart was still fluttering like a butterfly until now. The stare was still like the oddestfive seconds of his entire life, it was as though a moment from a romance series where the lead actor accidentally stared at his leading actress and the time suddenly went into a slow phaseof motion happened to him. This was, as far as he knows, the very first time that something like that happened and it was undoubtedly unexplainable that made his heart tramble, jerk and flutter.He walked out of the shower room then went to dress himself. Hardly aware that he had moved, he found himself lying motionless back in his own bed in which he had spent the latter of thecold night, slowly and lazily scrolling down onto his social media accounts. Fortunately, thanks to several groups of fandom that follows him, the girl who posted their kissing photos receivedmyri

Denny was promptly fished out from the short film of bittersweet memories that he was virtually viewing in his mind by a loud ring coming from his cellphone. He came to his sense and tardilypicked up the call. It was Bradey."Hello?""Where are you?" asked Bradey."At home, why?" His voice was soft and broken."Why you sound like that?" Bradey asked inquisitively."I'm watching Korean drama" Denny lied, he doesn't want to but it appears that Bradey doesn't remember that today is Jesse's death anniversary."Oh, I didn't know you watch those stuffs" Bradey knew that Denny hated dramas and he was baffled that Denny is watching Korean dramas."Now you know, now can you please spit the reason why you called because I'm really busy crying about this sick drama" Another lie. Denny truly hated dramas, too much that without beingaware of it, he became one."Er, I just want to ask help from you""Proceed""I'm calling here fr

Jayler decided to stay outside of the guidance counselor's office. He was quivery and unsteady; he kept on moving around, back and forth, doing random things that he thought might keephis nervousness down. Anxiety was sending several swift arrows of thoughts inside his brain. Can Richard make a good bargain with the guidance counselor? Will he be successful? Will hebe convincing enough to act as his uncle? All of it was softly and slowly killing the very most of him and the longer he waits, the more queasy he gets. Slowly, he was losing the dull light ofhope he have and was already on the verge of detaching himself from present towards the future of what will probably happen to him. Finally, the squeaking sound of an opening door awakenedand pulled him back to his sense."How did it go?" The uneasy anticipation of a good answer forced him to run instantly in front of Richard."Shush" Richard shushed him, pulling him into the farthest corner of the b
