When I opened my eyes, I immediately saw a white ceiling that was unfamiliar to me. I sat down immediately and looked around; my heart racing hard nonstop against my chest. I realized I was in a room where everything was either white or black. All the few objects were covered in white and black. It was almost empty of furniture except for the table on the side and the massive bed where I was currently sitting. My heart was beating faster and faster as I thought about what had happened. When I opened the door then, I saw Crista standing there. I remembered that time, I was about to speak and call Jack when something suddenly hit my head so I lost consciousness.I wanted to think it was all just my imagination. But I was wrong. Because after a while as I tried to collect my senses back, the door of this empty room opened. And a person entered.It was none other than Crista.My head still felt like being split into two, but I tried to face her still. "Crista ... What’s the meaning of
No! I wanted to shout that that wasn’t true at all. There was nothing going on between Ryan and me. He’s not Amy’s father…. "Crista is right, Jack. I'm Amy's real father,” Ryan said. “That’s why there’s no reason for you to stay by her side anymore and take care of her. That’s something I should do. It’s my responsibility… This is all just a misunderstanding, Jack. I hope you can see why we’re doing all of this… It’s for you, your mom, and most of all my daughter, Amy.”I tried to move and scream through the cloth in my mouth, desperately but no words could even be formed. Ryan held me closer as he turned to Jack and continued to utter, “Jack, you owe this to me. For once, let me build our family again so we can all be happy, okay?”I struggled to breathe and move, my hair messing up my face as it covered my expression and tears.Silence filled the room before we all heard Jack let out a scoff. "And you think I'll believe you?" Jack said, the smile disappearing from his face. "You'r
Time seemed to have stopped again the moment Jack and I connected. He made me lean against a tree, carrying me in his arms as we claimed each other all over again. I was aware that we were outside and our situation was dangerous. Yet, whenever I tried to stop, I couldn’t help but feel the overflowing emotion radiating from Jack and I fell back, knowing myself that I too wanted more. We weren’t used to having such extreme sexual activities outside but then again, we had done this before.Being surrounded by nature was a completely different matter though.Chasing my own breath, I clung tightly to Jack’s broad shoulders as I felt his manhood continue to thrust in and out of me. "Aahh, Aki… Hmngn…” I moaned as I looked at him, eyes beginning to blurry as I could feel our bodies rubbing against each other with every thrust, our skin sticky and slippery from the sweat and passionate release. I couldn’t tell anymore.Jack looked at me, his eyes full of warmth and deep emotions I knew, lea
I stared at him lovingly as my hand reached for his face, caressing it. “Nothing… I was just wondering. Aki, how many women have you been with?” “Do you mean girlfriends? I had a few,” he said, then he paused, then seemingly remembering something, he softly admitted, “A lot of them actually. Since high school.”“Hmm,” I hummed and said, “But…”"But?" He repeated, his voice laced with a teasing tone. I let out a smile while having a sleepy tone, “But the serious ones… How many were they?” Jack caressed my face and rubbed my neck, his lips softly giving me a kiss before he spoke, “Just one. You’re the only one I love in my life. I can’t love anyone else…” His voice was turning softer and softer as if remembering it all too well – the times in the past which he still had yet to open to me. “Back then… I tried to forget you. I really did, mom.” Then a smile painted his face as he looked at me, “But I always found myself coming back to you. I realize then, that it can’t be anyone else b
I almost fainted in fear when I felt an unfamiliar body approach me from behind. My heart stopped beating when I saw Jack being held by two men on the road – both I had seen back in that abandoned building from yesterday. Cold fear rippled me further in when I suddenly heard the one behind me utter a sound. “Don’t make a noise. I’ll help you.”I slowly turned around and found a young man with tattoos on his face. I glanced up and saw there were also about three more of them, all young boys, crouching down on trees and bushes, wearing the same faces and clothing. The man who just spoke before me removed his grip on my mouth.I gasped for air and quickly spoke with tears in my eyes, “P-Please… Please save my son…!” The man who was standing in front of me gave a slight nod. Then he turned to his companions, seemingly giving them a signal. Then he turned to me again and looked me in the eye, “Stay here. Don’t leave. Don’t make sounds.”He even said something to his companions that I did
While walking towards their ‘chief parent’s hut, I seized the time to thank them. According to them, they saw Jack and me being chased by armed men since yesterday. They lost track of us for a while and when they decided to find us, they found out that the armed men were already near our trail. They quickly noticed we needed help so they followed us until we reached the road."Nana understands city language. But you have to speak slowly so she can understand you," said Bon, the only one who could speak my language among the young men who saved Jack and me. He looked to be the age of probably 18 years old, something similar to Jonah’s son, Gio. He briefly gave me short information about them. According to him, they were a tribe who got stranded in the mountainous part of the town and started living here a couple of years ago. Almost all of them were relatives of one another and because they had been residing in forests for the past centuries, most of them didn’t know my language–spo
I could hear the sound of water flowing steadily from a distance. Along with it was the sound of birds chirping, and the leaves rustling. Slowly, I tried to open my eyes as I felt the cold and slightly humid air brushing my skin. The first thing I saw was a ceiling… that was made of wood and hay…? I frowned, sensing the entire thing surrounding me was unfamiliar. I tried to move but felt an extreme throb shooting right through the side of my stomach. I gritted my teeth and struggled to get up. Then I stopped, suddenly feeling my heartbeat halting as I realized.Mom… Where is mom?I looked around, trying to find her from the bed. I didn’t care about my surroundings anymore. I forced myself to get up, chasing my breath while trying to sit up and further look around for any shadow of her. My heartbeat quickened as the events that happened slowly came back to me. I left mom to hide near a tree and I waited for any vehicle on that road… But Crista’s men arrived. And there were also those
I nodded and stared at her while she busy taking care of me. I couldn’t help but smile at the sight. Since childhood, she has taken care of me too much and spoiled me rotten that I became obsessed with seeing her all the time, of needing the same treatment like this. Now that I became more mature and older, she was still doing the same thing. She was still the one who would and could take care of me tirelessly, in a heartbeat, without any unwillingness written on her face. Unable to control myself, I reached for mom’s hand. Her hands had been busy holding a damp cloth and were cleaning my body for a while. She stopped at my touch, her head tilting up to look at me. “Hmm? What is it? Do you need anything? Are you hungry, Aki?”"Yeah," I replied and tightened my grip on her hand even more.She looked at me and smiled. "All right, I'll get you something to eat. Stay here.”"I want you," I said mischievously.I stared at mom and smiled at her reaction. There was an obvious blush on her
Everything in the world changes. No matter how much you love something and want it to stay, a day will come when it will disappear and you will lose it. Sometimes it is changed, sometimes it is forgotten, but often, it leaves you forever. Like it has to. But in the midst of a very vague world full of changes and endings, there is only one thing I can be sure of, something that always remained. That is a real, passionate, complete love. A love that no matter what one, two, or many people do―will never be destroyed. Because even if you lose this person, even if everything changes for you, you will still love him. Your heart will still beat for him, call him as your heart has always done before, every single day. Even if it's just secretly, even if it's just from the distance, whether you like it or not, if your love is true, your heart will continue to beat for that person. You won’t be able to stop it even for a second. In my entire life, I never thought I would love a man s
"Bes, are you ready?" I asked my best friend Crista.She sat in front of the mirror and fixed her hair. She smiled and faced me, “I am."I smiled back and couldn't help but sigh. Today is the day Troy will introduce Crista to her parents. Troy's family is quite wealthy and as far as I know, Troy's father is running for governor.It has been a year since Crista was released from prison. During those times, Crista's parents took care of Yohan because they didn't want to give him to Troy without Crista. Thanks to the help of Crista and Troy's parents, Crista was released early.I can't help but feel a strange emotion every time I remember what happened before. I feel like my conscience will swallow me every time I think about my past sins. Even my best friend was destroyed because of me.Now Crista's life is changing and I am very happy with what I see."It took you a long time," Troy said when he met Crista and me outside.Crista just smiled and then approached Troy to hold him by the a
A woman was calling me, her soft voice alluring just like her touches were. I felt with every caress of it the intense love that seemed to never fade coming from her. Chasing my breath, I kissed her while applying our lips. The strands of her long hair were left by the rays coming from the round moon from the window. I couldn’t help but pull her even further towards me, kissing me with full joy and excitement.With this woman, my heart is full and overjoyed.I hastened even more in apprehension and excitement to touch her. It felt as though my heart would explode every time she calls my name. Her hands were warm, soft, yet hot all at the same time while grasping at my back. I groaned, reaching my climax as I held her closer. In those moments, I just wanted to feel her whole and I couldn’t understand but gradually felt anxiety in my chest."Troy."I frowned when I heard another woman's voice."Troy, wake up. You're dreaming again..."I slowly opened my eyes. Almost immediately, an un
"I thought you were tired," I told him between moans as he rubbed his erection against my entrance. He bit his lower lip before emitting a groan and coming closer to kiss me on the lips again. “If it’s you, I don’t get tired,” he said before forcing me to open my mouth so his tongue would come in, tasting and devouring all the parts he could reach.Panting, he lifted my thigh up and pushed in. I moaned, feeling Jack’s cock twitching and growing even faster and sinking into me. I clung to his shoulder, becoming a trembling mess for the thousandth time. Soon, Jack picked me up and carried me to the bedroom. Amy was in the other room and was already asleep. "She won’t hear us," Jack reminded me and even told me to just moan if I wanted to.Muddle-headed, I rubbed Jack’s neck and gasped as he suddenly put me on top of him, my entrance enveloping his erection as I sat down. I shuddered a breath as I felt its enormous tip begin to penetrate, its hardness raw and burning as my hips moved
The next day, Jack was finally discharged and we headed home to the condo where Jonah, Gio, and of course, my very cute daughter Amy were waiting. As soon as I saw her, I quickly picked her up and hugged her tightly. I missed my daughter so much and I also felt that she missed me as the entire afternoon that day, she slept on my shoulder and cried whenever I would try to place her back in her crib. "Mars, how about you put Amy down first?” Jonah suggested while drinking coffee.Jack had excused himself earlier, telling all of us that he needed to do something quickly in the office. I told him he needed to take things slow first as he had only been discharged from the hospital but he just wouldn’t budge, saying it had something to do with his boss and his position too. Worried he might lose his job, I let him go but only with the condition that he would be home immediately. Because of that, I was left here with Amy, Jonah, and Gio. "Shh," I replied to Jonah.She took a sip from her
Jack and I couldn’t hide the truth anymore. We had already kept our relationship for too long and in the process, I failed to think about other people’s true feelings about it. Just like Jonah, with whom I should have been honest from the start. Jack was right when he said sooner or later, the people who knew us would know. It was just a matter of time. “There’s no rush. When it comes to these things, don’t think too much,” Jack told me while holding my hand. We were lying side by side on the hospital bed. According to the doctor, he still needed to stay for a few more days to fully recover. Just a few more check-ups and if they had good results, he could go home anytime then. I let out a sigh and glanced at our intertwined hands. When he said he didn’t want to let go of my hand earlier, I didn’t know it would be for this long. I smiled at the thought.Jack… He loves me a lot and I feel the same way about him. But, how far will this love take us?Before I could think any deeper, Ja
In a slow and weak voice and with a smile, he uttered, “... Mom… am I dreaming?"I shook my head and wiped the tears from my cheeks. "No. You're okay, Aki. You're not dreaming. You’re safe now, and alive… You’re alive, baby.."I grabbed his hand and squeezed it before I promptly turned around and said, "I'll just call the nurse."Before I could entirely break down and cry myself in front of Jack, I hurriedly went out and called the doctor and nurse.They both came quickly and did a check-up on Jack. It went faster than I thought, or perhaps I was too focused on Jack, seeing him well, and finally opened his eyes that I could barely put my attention on anyone else. After a few minutes, the doctor gave me a few instructions before they finally told Jack to stay and get well, and finally left. After discovering what happened to Jack and me, the local high officials gave us a private room. It wasn’t exactly as grand as most of the private hospitals had but it was neat and decent enough fo
Holding Jack's hand, I heard the speed of my heartbeat while in the ambulance. Just when we were about to lose hope, Jonah came with the police. Even Bon and Norman came back and helped us. Jack continued to be unconscious and was lying in front of me, some medical personnel on the side to continue supporting him and pressing to stop his bleeding. I couldn’t even feel my own body anymore. I was just looking at him, praying and praying he won’t slip away… He had lost too much blood… I tightened the grip on his hand, my own stomach feeling as though it was being twisted in excruciating tight knots. My head was spinning but I held in, my trembling fingers continued to hold onto his hand. My Jack’s hand. Time went on like years while Jack and I were in that ambulance. It was probably the longest trip I had ever been on but also the one I was too afraid to end. As soon as we reached the hospital, the medical staff told me to prepare for the worst.Because Jack’s heartbeats were faint.
"No…No… The tribe!" Mom exclaimed with a loud gasp as she moved and was about to run back to the village when I caught her hand in time. “Mom!” I held her. “Aki, t-they’re in danger…!” She exclaimed, her eyes round and full of worry. “They need our help, Aki!”I tightened my grip on her and pulled her to my side. Then I turned to Bon and Norman, waiting for them to speak. Even they were too shocked and seemingly unable to think what to do next. I looked up again, thinking… Then I stopped, finally realizing what it could be. Sh*t… Crista… Her men were the cause of this, weren’t they?!I gritted my teeth, the anger spreading throughout my chest. I turned to Bon and told him, “Head back to the tribe.”Bon seemed to snap back from his shock. He looked at me, clenching his hands into fists as he suppressed his emotions. “No… We can’t. Nana’s order was for us to take you two to the nearest town.” "Aki! We need to go back!" mom almost cried when she said that.I tried to think of the situ
