(Jessamine’s POV)

They found Rick…

Rick and me… That night.

I gasped, covering my mouth with two hands because I could recall walking toward Rick and talking to him, but nothing more. Everything else turned murky in my memory.

Slowly, I turned my head to Kyle, my heart pounding in fear… Suddenly, I was afraid that my love for him would change, knowing Rick could be his father. It would be unfair for my son when he had nothing to do with my stupidity.

“No!” The tears welled in my eyes. “Aiden, we can’t let him know about my son. He shouldn’t -”

Aiden creased his forehead, confused at me. He cupped my face and shook his head.

“What are you saying?” He asked, meeting my eyes with worry.

My shoulders shook as sobs escaped my mouth. I could feel my muscles shivering from fear, and I had to wrap my arms around his neck, hoping my best friend would catch me if I ever fainted.

“I… I remember talking to Rick -”

“Wait!” Aiden grabbed my arms and moved back. “Don’t tell me you remember going wit

    (Jessamine’s POV)“Give Mommy your beautiful smile,” I said, planting tiny kisses on Kyle’s tummy and grinning to make him smile.Kyle twitched his lips, ignoring me as I tried to take a picture from my phone, and instead of smiling for me, he groaned, his eyes gazing at me as he pooped. I wrinkled my nose, pressing the camera, taking that moment when he opened his mouth.“You looked adorable when you poop,” I smiled and sighed, placing my cell phone on the side table to clean him up.Kyle’s tiny body jerked, startled when Charlie barked as he entered the bedroom.“Charlie,” I widened my eyes, pretending to be mad. “What did I tell you? I told you to be quiet when you enter the room. You startled your little brother again,” I muttered softly while I cleaned my baby and changed his diaper.“Any progress? Changes?” Deborah entered the room excitedly.Deborah sat on the edge of the bed and smiled sweetly at her godchild, squealing as she took her cell phone, taking a photo of my little o

    (Jessamine’s POV)“Are you sure that’s what Terrence said?” Aiden asked worriedly, his eyes wide, watching me as I brushed my hair. “He’s Kyle’s father?”I raised my eyebrows, looking at his reflection in the mirror. Kyle was awake, staring intently at Aiden’s face as if my son was trying to memorize him while Aiden swayed him gently from side to side. I was sure, though, that our little angel would fall asleep soon, the way his eyelids closed slowly. “I didn’t say he’s Kyle’s father, Aiden,” I muttered, putting the hairbrush on the dresser. “I said… he said he had a lot of explaining to do why he left. He didn’t say he’s the father. He doesn’t even know about Kyle.”“But you think he’s Kyle’s father,” he pursed his lips, glancing worriedly at my son. “You look like you believe he’s the one. Isn’t he gay?”“Gays have a penis,” I gritted my teeth, unexpecting Aiden to act weird. “We’re too drunk. He might have forgotten his preference.”“Does it happen?” His forehead creased, not bel

    (Jessamine’s POV)My brain processed everything slowly, like it was obsolete, and could not comprehend what Terrence had told me. My heart ceased to beat as I tried to remember everything. That night was like a puzzle that I could not complete.“You’re gay,” I murmured, my knees weak, my legs wobbling. I was getting dizzy.I was glad we were sitting on the swing. I gripped the swing chain hard, wishing to break the tube chain. I tilted my head, pouting like a child, peering at Terrence on the other swing.“What?” He scoffed, shaking his head and laughing at my accusation.“What else is your reason for leaving me outside the bar? Drunk? Helpless?” I muttered, smiling sadly. “Helpless…” I sniffled. “Just because Brody’s your friend, you trusted him and left me with him.”“It’s not that I trust him,” he sighed, looking heavenward. “You’re right. You’re my responsibility.”“Or not,” I cut in, squinting at the sky. “I drank, danced like crazy, and… agreed to come with you. I was not your r

    (Jessamine’s POV)“Are you sure?” Deborah asked, shaking her head while scooping Kyle from the crib. “Why are you still awake, little one?” she asked, her voice changing to gentle and soothing.I twisted my pursed lips, wanting to joke that my baby must be an owl or a bat, but I changed my mind as I realized this was not the best time to banter about my child. It was ten in the evening, and they were supposed to be in bed, resting after spending long hours at work. Yet, our two friends were here, deciding to stay for a while to ensure I was okay after Aiden called them as if there was an emergency, like the situation was a matter of life and death when I fainted in his arms.“He’s like Aiden, wide awake at night,” I answered instead, peering at the ajar door to see what Xavier and Aiden were doing in the living room. They seemed to have changed their topic because I overheard Xavier talking about the restaurant in passing.“So, it was James,” she whispered, afraid Kyle would hear him

    (Jessamine’s POV)“Why?” I shook my head, realizing my question was not correct. “How?” I asked, suddenly hiccupping.I held my breath for a short time and was glad it worked. Like magic, I stopped hiccupping. I fixed my eyes on him, returning the document to him as if the few papers had burnt my hand.“W-Why?” He panicked, grabbing my wrist, not taking the envelope from me.“Why?” My eyes were wide in disbelief. “Aiden, do you know what you’re giving me?” I asked in a low voice, afraid somebody might hear us. I even glanced around to make sure no one was there. “This is Adilene’s.”My jaw clenched, and I had to puff in and out air, anger rising in my heart to my mother. Aiden must have been forced to do something to please my mother as if the wedding preparations were not enough.“You deserve to have this,” he answered, his eyebrows knitting confusedly at me. “You once told me… Umm… You said…” He paused, then curved his lips into a hopeful smile. “Jess, I want you to have this.

    (Jessamine’s POV)What completes your life? For me, it’s Aiden, Kyle, and Charlie.A sweet smile carved into my lips as I rolled to my side. I did not know when Aiden went to bed, but when I opened my eyes, he was beside me, sleeping and snoring lightly while holding Kyle’s stuffed bunny rabbit.Charlie was not in the pull-out bed. Since the day we brought Kyle home, our dog would stay and sleep near the crib, attentively listening to his baby brother. He would get up immediately, wag his tail, and run to Aiden or me whenever Kyle cried.“Home sweet home,” I murmured, reaching for his cheek.I grazed my finger down, stopping at the corner of his mouth. A yelp escaped my mouth when Aiden opened his mouth, catching my finger and pressing his lips to imprison my index finger.“Hey! You startled me.” I chuckled, pulling my hand.Aiden laughed softly, opening his eyes and pulling me toward his chest. I snuggled closer, blocking up any gap between us.“Let’s not wait for six months, Jess. L

  • Confession of My Untamed Best Friend   Chapter 103 – He Was Him

    (Jessamine’s POV) The woman before me was an embodiment of a goddess only in a summer dress. She must be a model… or maybe a celebrity I didn’t know. She was strikingly beautiful, gently raising her hand to free the black hair her daughter clutched. I assumed the baby was hers because, aside from wearing matching dresses, the child looked like a mini version of the woman holding her. If I were not feeling threatened, I would love to utter a compliment, admiring them and thinking of buying matching clothes for Kyle and Aiden. Yet the words remained inside me, hiding somewhere in my brain while wondering why I felt terrorized when she was no one but a stranger. “How could he like you? You’re so ordinary,” she snorted, sneering at me. Ordinary? My eyebrows raised, thinking who the hell this woman was. “I’m sorry?” I narrowed my eyes as I tried to remember if we knew each other. “Do I know you?” Instead of answering me, she pursed her lips, sighing as she looked at me from head to to

    (Jessamine’s POV)“Him?”I scoffed in disbelief, slowly shaking my head. “Stop bluffing, James.”A brief scornful laugh escaped my mouth, shaking my head and snorting. James must be lying. He must have known about Kyle and wanted to flee from his responsibilities. I wanted to scream at him that it was not my intention, so he should stop making up stories about my best friend. How can it happen when Aiden is not Adam? He is a look-alike… or, just like my joke, Aiden was Adam’s doppelganger.Aiden could not be there that night. He was on the plane, nervously traveling alone to see me after almost ten years.“Bluffing?” James snorted, raising his eyebrows. “Jessamine, I almost lost everything, okay?”His Adam’s apple moved as he glanced at Aiden again. He leaned forward, afraid somebody would hear him. He paused and sighed deeply.“I’m really sorry for what I did. I admit I had been following you that night and got desperate. When I had my chance, I lied to my cousin and…” he squeezed hi

    (Aiden’s POV) Two years later… “Go!” Deborah chuckled and gestured her hand, telling me it was okay to leave. “We’ll bring Kyle to the hospital later,” she promised. I nodded, picking up the bag Jessamine and I prepared last night. I walked toward the couch, kissed my son, sleeping soundly on the seat, and patted Charlie’s head. He wagged his tail but didn’t bother to follow me. Kyle and Xyla had become his new best friends. Wherever they were, he would be there. Xavier brought Deborah and their daughter, Xyla, last night when Jessamine told them she was in labor. I didn’t know if it was because Jessamine was carrying our second child that everyone seemed relaxed. Only I was panicking, unsure what to bring or how to take my wife to the hospital. “We have a driver, Aiden. Why are you panicking?” Jessamine asked calmly last night as she climbed the bed. Benedict and Xavier raised the same question. Perhaps it was not the reason why my heartbeat was pounding fast. I would love to h

    (Aiden’s POV) “I don’t know, Aiden,” Jessamine murmured sadly. “You love lying to me.”I shook my head and lifted my hand, gently wiping the tears on her cheeks. “I was honest when I told you I broke up with every girlfriend I had in the past, including my engagement to Naomi. Our dads set our marriage up, not me.”If I had to choose freely whom I wanted to be with for the rest of my life, Naomi would never be on my list. She was part of my rebellion, which I regretted when she got pregnant.“Eliza,” The tears streamed down my face as I struggled to speak through the lump in my throat.My heart ached for the little one when I heard her call Jessamine ‘momma’. Eliza didn’t deserve a mother like Naomi. I opened my mouth to explain but closed it again. “You named her after your grandma’s name,” she said.I shook my head. “She named her after my grandma’s name. Not me,” I corrected.If only Jessamine knew how we fought that day but gave in because Naomi was still weak in the hospital.“

    (Jessamine’s POV) “Ha! Ha!” I raised my eyebrows and glared at Aiden. “You know what? It’s too late for that. Whatever you want to say, I don’t care.”I could walk away, but I didn’t move.“Jess, please,” Aiden begged.“Fine! Go ahead with your confession. Let’s get this over with. I just want to go home.”Yet, it would be my biggest lie. For almost a month of staying here in Adilene’s, I knew I was home. Leaving here would scar my heart. Forgetting Aiden would be hell. However, he is getting married, and I don’t want to be the best friend in his love story who hinders his happiness. My sarcasm didn't appear to bother Aiden. He inhaled deeply and fixed his gaze on me. It was for a while, then he turned around, pointing at the lake.“On the other side of the lake is St. Rose Property. I bought it and opened a new business there, a law firm, and I invited Xavier to head the company,” he said, ignoring what I said. He turned to me, blinking once while waiting for my answer.I opened my

    (Jessamine’s POV) Awkward? Yes. Angry? No. Maybe.I stood on the porch, staring at Aiden as he kissed our son. He took him from my arms, and my trusting son didn’t even cry. My baby continued to babble ‘Ba-ba’ba’, and guess what? Everyone found it adorable. “Yes, he’s Dada!” Mom muttered excitedly, not considering the feeling of her hurt daughter.I was invincible to Sasha and Aaron. I wanted to scream that it wasn’t their house, but they greeted Deborah and my mom, said something nice to Kyle, and eagerly went inside when my friend invited them for a coffee. They should have at least waited for me, and then I pouted, remembering it wasn’t mine either.Aiden turned to my mother. “Is it okay if I talk to Jessamine alone?”“Of course,” she muttered. “You have all day,” she chuckled with her joke.I opened my mouth, wanting to protest, but I closed it again because it was also the same thing I wanted. Deborah was right. Every time he returned, something happened. He would sweep me of

  • Confession of My Untamed Best Friend   Chapter 144 – I Was Right, I Was Wrong

    (Jessamine’s POV) I inhaled to smell the sweet scent of fresh air in Adilene’s from the porch, but instead, I caught the whiff of the aroma of the coffee bean Mom was grinding from her hand-cranked grinder. I glanced at the crib, checking on Kyle. A while ago, he played with his toes, putting them in his mouth. Perhaps he thought of them as built-in toys. This time, he rolled over, reaching the tail of the giraffe stuffed toy.Kyle just turned four months, but he could do many things—normal baby stuff. He could bear weight on his legs when sitting upright, rolling over, grabbing toys or Charlie’s fur, and babbling a combo of vowel and consonant letters. When I asked him something, and he didn’t cry, it was up to me to decide what it meant. Deborah and my mom thought differently. My friend bet that when Kyle reached the age of six months, he could count numbers and recite the alphabet. Mom proudly told her he was probably like me, a history of my life she now loved to retell.‘Jess

    (Jessamine’s POV) I caught Aiden wincing when I hissed, cringing as Colleen pressed her finger on my scalp. My sister must be waiting for us to be alone. I knew that my crying didn’t help, but she would understand why I wailed like a baby on the staircase. I would explain everything to her later.Colleen sighed and turned to Aiden.“Don’t worry, Aiden. She’ll live. Long enough that the two of you will probably see your ten to fifteen great-grandchildren, in case you get back together,” she muttered jokingly instead of giving him her prognosis of my condition.“When did you become a fortune teller?” I arched my head to see her face.Colleen shrugged and grinned. “It’s one of my many talents, you know,” she said, turning around and walking toward the crib. “Want to see the garden, Kyle? Let’s give mommy and daddy some privacy. What do you think?” she asked gently, scooping my son from the crib.As if it was Aiden’s cue, he held the door open and closed it gently as soon as my sister an

    (Aiden’s POV) My heart was still racing, and my breaths came in ragged gasps after sprinting all the way from the driveway to reach Jessamine. My body was still buzzing with adrenaline, but when I saw her crying, I was like sucked into a vortex, returning me to the first time I saw my best friend.I was nine years old again for a split second, seeing a cute little girl in a braided pigtail, curled up in the swing, holding the same math book I had in her arms. At first, I thought she was hurt, but when I approached her, she was perfectly okay and told me, between hiccupping and crying, that she didn’t know how to answer her homework.Of course, she couldn’t. I doubted if she could even read the sentences in the book. She must be five or six years old. She should be in the preschool building, enjoying learning the alphabet or numbers instead of worrying about the word problems in the book.What was a little girl doing in front of the classroom of the third-grade class? She must have mi

    (Jessamine’s POV) I reached for the doorknob, but before I could grasp the exquisitely crafted knob, I clenched my hand and immediately concealed it behind me as if opening the door was a sin. I was reluctant to leave the bedroom for a few reasons, but Anne informed me that Susan was waiting for me in the family room and wanted to speak with me.If only there were another way to the staircase without passing Naomi’s bedroom.“She went out to see her doctor,” Anne muttered.“Huh?” I turned around, lifting a brow, pretending not to understand what she said.Anne’s lips curved into a shy smile. “If you were worried about seeing Ms. Naomi outside, she left to see her doctor,” she said, repeating the message, perhaps thinking I didn’t hear her the first time.“Ah,” I chuckled and sighed in relief. “Thank you for telling me, Anne. I don’t want to have part two of our encounter in the garden,” I joked. Partly.She laughed briefly. “Don’t worry about Kyle. I’ll ask someone to get you if he c

    (Jessamine’s POV) “Ouch!” I winced when Aiden pressed his finger on my scalp.It was a light touch, but the tingling on my scalp worried me that I would go home bald or I might be wearing a wig on my wedding day. Maybe my hair would have grown an inch or two at that time. Still, I would feel bad. I imagined having my hair loosely braided vertically and horizontally on that big day, but after what happened, I should think of another hairstyle.Aiden clucked his tongue, sighed, and sat on the edge of the bed, turning the chair I was sitting on to face him. I was still mad at him, but sometimes I tend to forget whenever I get stunned by his gorgeous face. I hissed, cursing inwardly and lowering my head to avoid his gaze.“Does it hurt?” He asked worriedly, lifting my chin to meet his eyes. “Tell me, Jess.” When I didn’t answer, he continued, “I’m bringing you to the hospital now.”I squinted, shaking my head. “I’m okay. This is nothing serious. Why don’t you check on Naomi?”He scoffed,
