Valentine
I unconsciously drove full speed eyes tightly shut and inevitably crashed all the way back to my bitterest childhood memories. All of these glorious moments I have today were built brick by brick by all of those years I've spent in an almost solitary confinement ward for being a sickly child. One day I was vomiting non-stop, the second day, I was burning with fever, and the third day I was almost dead on my bed. As a kid, I was already diagnosed with leukemia in its early stages. The battle was emotionally, physically, and mentally agonizing along with blue and red pills and all types of needles day after day against all of these blood cancers that are trying to kill my body. My childhood was stolen when I should have been out there
DominicA date.Of course, there is no fucking way that I would have seen that coming my way today. It has been a long day, and it’s exhausting that it just keeps on stretching further and further when I thought it has already ended. What choice do I have? There is no other answer other than an obvious yes. Somehow, I feel that it’s a well-deserved yes, though since he earned it in some ways, and even if it’s not in my place to say that, he deserved a one-time shot at exploring the colorful wonders of the underlying spectrum of gender. That is one fundamental right that I can't take away from the hands of a curious young boy
Dominic"How do you like your pizza?" I asked Valentine before deciding to make a call for a pick-up order.I have never asked someone about how they like their pizza before, and asking it at this very moment felt appropriately weird yet so right for me. I guess it was just the fact that I needed to make the air more real and active after what happened moments ago rather than keeping it silent and awkward. Or maybe this is already the starting point of me trying to get to know Valentine. I thought I already knew him as this selfish ma
ValentineThe beach felt pretty lovely from what I've seen on pictures and movies, except now I get to see it with my own eyes and touch it with my own skin. Even when we came here almost midnight, the scenery is still strikingly beautiful as I expected it to be. The fresh wind felt so much relaxing that it almost took away every single shit inside my head. The sand under my bare feet felt extra cool that it almost gave me the feeling of serenity at its finest. The sound of the waves crashing into shore seemed like an incessant symphony to my ears. I know this is far from the best beaches I wanted to see, but by default, it easily captures my heart. The best thing is I have to see it with Dominic, and just by the thought of him taking me to se
ValentineYhannie, of all people, won't tell me why Dominic is absent today, which is downright frustrating since I've already claimed my rights on Dominic, so I didn't stop following her to know the reason why. To be honest, I got a little bit jealous of her for that. I've been trying to reach Dominic since this morning until now, and all I'm getting is Dominic's fucking recorded voice telling me to leave a message since he's not available. Yet, all the while, he's exclusively returning Yhannie's messages. What kind of bullshit is that?
YhannieIt was definitely fun to watch Valentine be scared like a pussycat. He was freaking out, which is hugely satisfying to me. Dominic will surely be mad at me for lying about the whole Singapore thingy, although it's true that his father will soon get him to Singapore, but that was until he graduates from high school, so from a different point of view, I was not lying. Dominic just had a high fever, and so he's unable to attend class today. My crazy ass was itching to see Valentine's expression if I told him about that twisted lie, and it was certainly an entertaining one. Plus, I also wanted to scare him in order to check if he has already fallen in love with Dominic. I'm like the self-appointed guardian angel of this mission. This unwri
DominicCatching up on with a lot of academic stuff and whatnot that I missed at school left me tremendously exhausted but in a satisfying way. I felt the substantial presence of productivity that ran throughout the busy day. At the end of the day, I just needed to go home quickly when our last period ended. I just wanted to hug my bed and cuddle with myself. I called my mom to come and pick me up soon so that Valentine, who apparently cannot miss his practice, or even my usual ride Yhannie, who will probably exhaust me more with her running mouth, don't have to bother on driving my ass home.
ValentineIt was the wild and exhilarating excitement that pushed me over to move faster. It was not just based on the fact that Dominic agreed to see me. It was because of Dominic himself. Everything about him, from the way he looks at me, from the way he expresses himself, creates a simple curve from that damn lips, makes me feel more than alive. I had been in so many different affairs before, but this one, even if we haven't have had sex yet, seems euphorically orgasmic. The simple thought of him is enough to make me smile and forget every painful memory I have.
DominicLast night was totally something indescribably fun that I really can call a first. I was surprisingly into the moment, and Valentine's own pubescent hotness just added fuel to the fire that I even got to the point where I went bold and aggressive. Honestly, I, in my utmost sober state of mind, was about to give him probably my everything, but then all of a sudden I remembered my mission and decided that it was the perfect opportunity to do number seven on the list.
ValentineI don't know what to do. Dominic just said it, he doesn't love me and that everything was planned from the very start. I rushed going down the stage not knowing where to go and how to get out of here but as soon as I reached the dance floor filled with a lot of speechless people, they all paved a narrow space for me in the middle. It's like when Moises parted the sea with his wooden staff. I'm already humiliated to the stars, and the agony is already owning the throne inside me, so there's no point in trying to have pride or even dignity. Everything is pointless now.
Dominic"So it's true then?" Valentine’s eyes were like sharp spears piercing straight at me. I gave him a "what's true" expression still refusing to admit some things."Is this true?" Valentine turned his attention to Yhannie who just closed her eyes, refusing to say something but even without saying anything Valentine understood immediately."What the fuck Dominic. You really did play me, huh." He fished
Valentine"May I take this dance?" I struggled a little bit to position myself in order to ask Dominic properly to the first dance that he will remember for the rest of his life. The handcuff limited the way I moved, but in the end, I managed to successfully ask him as if I’m a gentleman asking a dignified lady for a dance at a royal ball."Oui" He replied, eventually taking my hand. We nervously inched our way towards the dance floor where everyone can see us.Tale
DominicSomeone came quick as fuck to where I was seated, that is unfortunately right next to Valentine and simultaneously cuffed my hand to his. It left me utterly frozen for a moment. My mind is slowly trying to process what had just happened. I didn't even have the chance to even say something about it. It happened really fast like a swift bird just flew by."Well, I guess we will be prison-mates for the rest of the night" I heard Valentine jokingly utter.
DominicI stared hopeless and crestfallen up above the silky sky as Valentine drove the car. Mr. Sun is about to sink in an hour just as much as my life is about to be ruined in a few hours. I don't know what to do anymore, my mind is just basically empty with ideas. It seemed more like a barren land unable to support life. The past few days had been the greatest and the happiest moment I've ever been in my life, and if things go distressingly bad tonight, then I can say this is the peak of my high school love life. I deadly want to quit this shit, and I'm stupidly stressed. I really thought I knew what I was going into like the back of my hands, but it turns out that I
ValentineI woke up exceptionally early the next day since I promised Aunt Katya that I'll be temporarily taking the job of driving Dominic to school, and of course, I had to take the little sister as well. Collene really liked me as well; I can tell that by how much of a talker she is whenever I'm around. I think she's aware of the little thing going on between her brother and me. She keeps on implying little details, which Dominic quickly squashes every time.I was about to park the car when I saw Yhannie rushing towards us, and tha
ValentineI deliberately stole the paper hidden from Dominic's book and decided to keep it to myself. My knees were shaking at first, but I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and carefully processed the whole thing and ultimately brushing it off temporarily in the corner. This is appalling, yet I'm trying my best to be more optimistic, perhaps this is for the better, I thought. Usually, I ain't that type of a decision-maker but to be honest, this is totally a groundbreaking improvement for me. I'm pretty sure that I've read my name that is legibly written on it. My brain says it could be anything. I'm going to give Dominic the benefit of the doubt or perhaps I'm going to investigate whatever bullshit this list is under the shadows. I love Domi
YhannieMy hangover doesn't seem to meet its end after I drank three bottles of ginger ale and a cup of brewed coffee. I promised myself that I won't drink that much so I could be effective as Dominic's surveillance. And, to my greatest regret of joining the anti-Valentine club, I wanted to see what they are really planning on. The club hasn't been transparent as clear as crystal to me ever since I signed up for this upcoming debacle and leaning solely against my woman intuition, I can feel that there's something really fishy that is about to go down. But I just need to know what it is the whole damn plan. I went rushing straight to my bedroom after Valentine and Dominic dropped me home
ValentineI cannot fucking believe that Dominic just said yes to me. I know for sure that my world would crash to its ultimate demise if ever he said no, but I guess him saying yes to me will equally be the death of me. It's been hours after that event, and I feel like I'm ready to die out of this supreme happiness. My heart is still pounding to the stars even after the last period. Some of my classmates kept on looking and smiling at me, others are noticeably laughing at me, but I don't give a single fuck about them. Honestly, I feel terrific. Going into soccer practice is expectedly hard for me. I just voluntarily outed myself to the whole campus, I have no regrets, to be honest, and that's a fact, but I just don't know if I could handle wha
