*Olivia Jillian Hunters' POV*
—"Open your eyes," Sydney asked me, and I felt excitement as I saw what was around us.It was a beautiful garden, where there were lights around, pretty flowers, and a fountain. Then there's a gazebo with lots of flowers around it."Wow, this is amazing, Syd. Where is this?" I asked her, and she slipped her hands inside her sweatpants' pockets."It's in a restaurant. It's a secluded area for… you know, couples who want to be away from a lot of people inside there. Actually, this is where I want to… take you to have dinner someday." She answered and shyly smiled, and I could feel her nervousness even from a mile away from here."Damn, you mean… out on a date? Dinner date?" I asked her while trying so hard to contain my joy, and she nodded her head in reply."Yep. Cheesy, I know. Since I don't have a chance to bring you here soon, I brought you here now. And I don't know if any of your exes h*Olivia Jillian Hunters' POV*—Our lips finally met, making me feel this familiar amazing sensation like that first time I stole a kiss from her when she was asleep and something like how we kissed back at the Ferris Wheel on our first date. Yet this one surely feels so much better. It's passionate. It's extraordinary.I moved my lips against hers, and she slowly responded while my arms found their way to snake around her neck to pull her closer to me.We shared a moment I never wanted to end, but I felt like crying as I didn't have any idea why it hurt me so much. I know we can't stay like this forever, but at least I experienced how it is to be loved by someone with all she is.She kissed the tip of my nose, then my forehead, and she put me in her warm embrace.And what she told me next made me cry."I'll always remember us this way, OJ." I tried so hard to contain my emotions and not let her notice that I w
*Sydney Roswell's POV*—"Hey, Syd! Can you come here for a minute? I just want to ask you about something!" OJ called out to me as she went somewhere at the back of my house. I left Kitty to go where my girlfriend was and hear what she wanted to ask me."What is it?" I asked as I went near her and saw she was looking at something. It's my rose garden."This. What is this? What are these?" She asked me while pointing at the flowers in front of us, and I raised an eyebrow as I looked at her curious face."Are you blind? Roses. Flowers. Plants. Leaves. What else could those be?" I answered the obvious, and she just rolled her eyes. Those really are roses.And now, she pointed at the plants with both hands."I know these are roses. But who are these?" She replied and asked another pretty stupid question, and my eyebrows met in confusion. Why would she ask such a thing to me about my roses?"OJ, I don't name my rose
*Sydney Roswell's POV*—"No, please don't cry. It's okay. You don't have to worry about anything. Look at me." I hushed OJ when she cried and kept on apologizing to me. I rubbed her back while she hugged my core, sitting on the floor, and sobbed."No! You lost all of your savings because of me. You… also, your pendant from your mom. And another one is… no, I'm such a terrible person. I took everything from you, Syd. I'm so sorry. Your… your left arm is… it's broken. You possibly can't paint again like the way before. And you missed your exams. I'm so sorry!" She wailed even more, and I really felt bad about her feeling bad about herself."Hey, no! OJ, come here. Look at me. It's okay. It's alright. Stop crying, please? I'm going to be okay." I said and tried to pull her up to sit down beside me, and she looked up at me and was still crying."Stop crying. Come up here. I told you, I'm going to be okay. And I didn't lose everything because of you. It's because I wa
*Sydney Roswell's POV*—After we had sorted out the things we wanted to do for the rest of the day after we got back to Chicago, we went to do something that we could do around the neighborhood before heading to the airport.First, we headed to the Hunters' mansion to check if Mimi was there, but we heard that she flew to NYC the other day to be with OJ before she could leave them forever. Next, we went to Grace's house to look for her, too, but she had just gone to the airport last night to go to OJ also. Yes, she did mention to me that she'll go there after the quarterly exams. Then, as we were walking on the street, three blocks from the Thales' residence, something caught my attention when my gaze fell to the park on the opposite side from where we were.I nudged my girlfriend and pointed to the people I spotted, which I thought would interest her."Hey, OJ, look! Your exes.""Where?" She asked, following my gaze to the coup
*Sydney Roswell's POV*—"Mi Amor, can we go somewhere? Just a few hours? An hour or two. I want to show you something… again." I asked OJ with a big smile as I sat up on my bed, and she looked at the time on the wall clock and then at me."Where?" She curiously asked me while sitting on the stool next to my bed."Secret. Just come with me. We'll get back here after dusk. I promise." I replied and grabbed her left hand as I stepped out of bed to head out of my room.When we were about to walk out of the elevator, we saw my brother and Wendy walking into the lobby and heading into where we were.We passed by them, and they got inside the elevator. But then, something caught my attention as I got a glimpse of Adam's face. The bridge of his nose got a bandage, and there was a cut on his lower lip on the right side."What happened to your bro's face?" OJ asked, and I replied, "I wondered the same thing, Oj. He must have gott
*Olivia Jillian Hunters' POV*---"Syd? Sydney?" I called her name with a broken voice as I didn't want to accept the truth. I don't want to open my eyes and find her nowhere near me. I don't want to think of anything tragic.I slowly opened my eyes and looked around the empty room. She's not anywhere here. I was just holding her, embracing her. What happened? Where did she go?No, it's not true. She can't be gone. This is not happening. It can't be. She can't leave me just like that."Where are you? Sydney?" I yelled while sobbing, and I covered my mouth as I couldn't help but feel extremely hopeless."No. Syd, come back. Where are you? This is not funny, Roswell!" I screamed and kept crying, hugging myself and wishing her to be here with me. I need her to be here with me. "You, stupid blonde! You didn't even say goodbye. Not even an... 'I love you, too!' What the f*ck? Sydney... I hate you. I hate you for leaving me.
*Olivia Jillian Hunters' POV*---I couldn't be happier, knowing that Sydney was alive and okay, and at the same time, her friends found my mother.Does this mean I might have a chance to live? Do I? I deeply hope so.I turned my gaze to Vidia as she handed Emma the tablet and stylus and looked at Sydney."Alright, listen up, girl. I will only tell you a few important details because we really need to go if you want to kiss and touch your precious OJ soon. Here's what happened and the whole plan. Earlier today, the police had arrested those bastards who caused these... bullsh*ts to you, and your brother pounded their faces and even broke some ribs when we saw them at the station, and---" Vidia explained and was cut off by the raging Adam when he received a look of disbelief from his little sister."Because, what am I supposed to do? Tickle them? Thank them? Nah! I will even kill them if something more terrible has happened to you
*Olivia Jillian Hunters' POV*---"Mom? Where are you going?" I asked my mother when she stood up after keeping the flyer and her phone inside her purse. Then she walked to the door."Mom! Hey! Don't go, please! Wait!" I called her out, even if she couldn't hear me, and I ran after her."Wait! Oh, hell no!" I cursed as I saw her going to a parked car on the opposite side of the road. I hastily looked at where Vidia had gone, and I saw her still looking around the establishments around the street."Vidia! Mom's here! She's going away! Hey! Geez! What should I do?" I yelled and contemplated what to do as I had no freaking idea. I don't know if I should go with my mom or with my girlfriend's best friend who's been looking for my mom. But neither of them could notice me, so... It wouldn't matter.I'm going with my mom.After thinking twice and thrice, I hurried to my mother's car to go with her. And I gue
*Olivia Jillian Hunters' POV*---Her lips trailed kisses down my neck, making me grip tight on the sheets while I bit my lower lip to keep myself from crying her name in pleasure. As she casually licked and gently sucked my skin, I couldn't help but grab her hair with my left hand, and my right one was inside her shirt and scratching her bareback. She stopped kissing my neck and chuckled when I involuntarily pulled her hair back a bit hard, and I apologized quickly."Sorry, Love.""Don't worry. I like it." Syd replied and looked me in the eyes. I saw her smirk and eyed my lips."Please stop biting your lip too hard. It'll bleed." She asked me and leaned down to peck on my lips, and I responded immediately. How can I not bite it if she was so damn good at this kind of matter? And I don't want to be loud because neighbors might hear, or maybe any of her housemates or friends have arrived and wonder what we're doing here. Well, if she were in my situation, I am so freaking sure she'll
*Sydney Roswell's POV*—"What? No! I don't know what the heck you are talking about, Oj. You know what? Let's take some snacks downstairs. Let's just figure out what to do with this one later tonight or tomorrow." I renounced and asserted as I really wanted to escape from being cornered by her."Oh, no! Where are you going, Sydee? We're not yet done here. You said you'll take a break after editing the 70th chapter. We are going nowhere but here, My Love." She teased and held my chin with her right hand, making me face her, but I tried to avoid eye contact."No! Did I say that? Well, I've changed my mind. Let's go, Mi Amor! What do you want to eat?" I exclaimed and was about to stand up, but I could barely move because of this laughing girl sitting on me who's not that light at all."Hmm. Hey! I have a better idea, Oj! Why don't we… umm, later before we go to our dinner date, let's go and find a dog that you want to adopt. A puppy! Yeah! I remember you want to call him Mickey. Right? D
*Sydney Roswell's POV*---"Her soft rosy lips gracefully danced with mine in a remarkable rhythm, making me feel all these familiar sensations inside me. When her powerful warm moist tongue slipped inside my mouth, I, with all enthusiasm, welcomed it for a friendly match.I heard her chuckle while still not breaking our passionate kiss, and I gently bit her lower lip as I tried to dominate this session. Then I lost control of my hands when they started creeping inside her shirt to caress her delicate skin, which caused her to let out soft moans. Mmm, her voice is such excellent music in the ears. I could listen to it my whole life and never get tired.And things happened a bit too quickly when she's now topless while we both sat on the bed. I swear I have no full control of my hands. But I absolutely love to see her wear nothing on top but her jade pendant necklace. She continued bussing my neck, making me all turned on, while her right hand had been gently kneading my left boob unde

One not-so-fun fact, though, my pen name i
*Olivia Jillian Hunters' POV* — "Okay. What is it?" Sydney asked and curiously looked at me. I grinned and locked my eyes on her luscious pink lips, and I could sense she already knew what I meant when her facial expression changed into something that seemed to be alarmed. "No." She asserted and glared at me. "What? I haven't said anything yet!" I exclaimed and laughed at her when she rolled her eyes at me. "Oh, yeah? Your eyes say a lot more than your mouth, Hunters. You know that saying, right?" She explained and moved a little away from me. Ugh, she's so adorable. I can't... I just, no, I'm so in love with her! "What? Seriously, Syd. Don't be so rude! And don't f*cking act like you don't want it, too! Come on, Roswell!" I belted while still laughing at her blushing face, and I tried to compose myself. "What? No! We are inside the school premises. In case you are not aware. We can't do that here. Look around, biatch. There are some students everywhere, and they've been eyein
*Olivia Jillian Hunters' POV*---The tears formed in her warm blue eyes finally fell as she looked at me in disbelief, and I sweetly smiled at her in response."I missed you, Syd. There's not been a day, an hour, a minute that you won't cross my mind and dreams." I confessed and bit my lower lip to hold my emotions and not cry."I thought at first that it was just all... normal dreams, bad dreams, and nightmares. But I deeply know it might be not. And here we are. I'm so glad to see you again." I continued and brought my left hand to her face to wipe her tears away, and she cried more. Oh, no, she's in her vulnerable mode again. I clearly remembered those times she cried so much for me. Nonetheless, all the tears and sacrifices she spent on our journey together were given justice as we won the fight we fought. I cannot be here right now if not because of her and her stubborn but optimistic ass. And, of course, with the help of her ever-supportive friends.I chuckled when she asked,
*Sydney Roswell's POV*---"Uh... Hi!" I nervously greeted her, and I saw her smile at me. Oh, gosh, I missed that smile... so much."Why are you looking at me like that, Roswell? You seem like you've seen a ghost. Well, surprise, biatch, I'm still alive and kicking. But I can't kick my left leg yet." She said and chuckled, and I softly laughed with her."Yeah... No, I mean... Uh, it's so nice to see you again. I'm glad you're alright." I stammered and finally got the right words to say, but I am still feeling so anxious now."Ooh, so you are trying to say that you missed me, huh?" She remarked while grinning, and I let out a scoff."Hell no!""Really? I mean... Why would you miss me, right? I know I am not missable. Is that even a word? Because you aren't, too." She replied and acted quite mean, and I chuckled. You have no freaking idea how much I missed you, Mi Amor."Well, it's good that you know," I answered and regretted it right after as I realized we were back to being what we w
*Sydney Roswell's POV*---Monday came. It's the first time I'm going back to the academy after about a month of absence. It was an absence to do something I know I will forever be grateful for and will never regret.I had spent almost my whole day taking quizzes and exams in the empty detention room near the Principal's Office. It's absolutely tedious, but I have to do this if I want to catch up with the lessons of my classmates. I'm super happy I wouldn't need to take summer classes if I could pass these quizzes and exams.I was currently answering the final two items of my last exam for today when an unfamiliar student suddenly came in and handed me a small piece of paper. She didn't say anything and left the room. That's so weird.I looked at what was written on the paper in my hold, and I blinked to read it clearly."Meet me at the bench fronting the library. 3:30 PM.""What and who the hell are you?" I muttered and thought of who might this be, and the first person that came int
*Sydney Roswell's POV*---"Yow, Sydney! I have a question. Don't get this wrong, aight? It's just a question or a suggestion. Just out of curiosity." Grace called me and asked, and I turned my swivel chair to look at her sitting comfortably on my bed beside her girlfriend, who was busy munching some popcorn.I raised an eyebrow in response to tell her to go on, and she grinned. Let me bet. I strongly know this will be about OJ again. There was nothing that this person asked me that the girl I adore wasn't mentioned."Well... You do know that OJ will be home finally later from Chicago. What if... What if you just... tell OJ everything... the whole truth? You know... your journey together, the things you did for her, everything you did together while she's still out of her body, what you feel, that you're girlfriends, and... all of it. Maybe she can remember, even just a bit." She suggested and looked so serious while Emma stopped shoving pieces of popcorn in her mouth to look at me an
