FAE"Lola Leah gave me a watch on my twelfth birthday. Did you know?"Jigo’s eyes widened. "What are you talking about?""She gifted me a wristwatch on my twelfth birthday," I repeated. "I'll show it to you when we get home. It was such an expensive watch that I almost returned it. It wasn’t until two years later that I found out how much it cost. I told Daddy, but he said Lola Leah wouldn’t make a mistake in giving a gift. It was meant for me, and if I returned it, she might get upset. Then, at my Sweet Sixteen Party, she saw me wearing her gift and I remember she was so happy! She said the watch suited me perfectly, then later sent me a bracelet to accessorize it. I was so relieved that the gift was really mine. Then..."I touched my cheeks because they were getting even warmer."During the cotillion at my eighteenth birthday party, I found out that you were going to be my dance partner. I assumed it was because you were the best dancer among the boys, but a part of me worried that

FAE"Yes? Say that again?"I rolled my eyes. "You know it. I’m crazy about you, too. I love you, too. I love you." Then I laughed when he climbed onto the table after pushing me to the center. He kissed me, and I ended up lying down when his weight pressed on me, though he raised himself so it wouldn’t be too much, and his hand pillowed the back of my head against the wood.He kissed me for a long time, tenderly, slowly… and I felt his emotions in his kiss, the strong beating of his heart against my chest, the trembling of his body as he slowly and lazily dry-humped me between my thighs, his hands caressing my cheek. It was all there in his eyes when he lifted his face to smile tenderly at me."I love you, too," he said. "I still can’t believe you beat telling me first.""It’s fine… you beat loving me first.” I caressed his cheek. “Also, thank you. For coming home for me. Thank you for being there when I needed a rebound. Thank you for always being there for me even after that to mak

FAE“That’s just… god, what was that?” he asked, laughing softly in his hoarse voice, his arms possessively around me after we had shifted into a more comfortable position a few moments later. “Are you okay? I think I lost my self a little bit in there.”“I love it…” I huffed, panting. “Once or twice of the week we make love like this for the rest of our lives. Can we do that?”He was laughing again as he kissed my cheek, then teasingly nipped my ear, then the curve of my shoulder. We were both sweaty and messy but it was just perfect.“I love you,” I just said. “I love everything that you do to me. I love this. I love you.”He took a deep breath. I heard a gulp, then he backed off so I could roll over to my back on the bed. He got back to his place in the middle of my thighs, his handsome face showing such a possessive, satisfied smirk that I laughed. Then I possessively clamped my thighs to keep him in place.His eyes were locked on mine as he tenderly brushed away the strands of ha

FAEAs we prepared for the Saturday night party, another issue arose with the evening dress I planned to wear.I really wanted to wear one of the dresses the stylist sent over for the party. They were designs from Tammy Marquez's fashion line. Tammy was the hostess of the party. I loved the floral print with swirls of magenta and lavender. The problem was, it had a deep V-neck in both the front and back. It was sleeveless, made of organza, and had a banded waist. The hem reached my ankles, but there was a slit on the left side that went halfway up my right thigh. I knew I could manage the slit because I’d done it before when Jigo and I went to Invictus II. But the neckline might be too much.When I showed it to him on the hanger, he immediately disapproved, which was annoying because he asked me to put on the evening dress for him in the first place. Like a private showing. And his eyes and his whole face, plus the bulge down there, all told me he liked what he saw.The dress fit me p

FAE"Jigo? Where are we going?" I asked, still feeling nervous and needing to talk."You need to relax," he insisted. "Come here."He pushed through glass doors and we stepped through, and were greeted by a blast of air conditioning, stronger here where fewer people were. I heard the faint but steady jazz from the speakers. The ambient lighting and the spaced-out tables in the bar area inside the hotel helped me beat the feeling of being overwhelmed. Immediately, I could breathe better.Jigo's hand shifted to my lower back as we headed towards the bar. Soon, he was ordering a shot of tequila for me and vodka for himself. The bartender, an older man, politely smiled at me before he started preparing our drinks.I leaned against the bar, sneaking a thankful smile at Jigo. Compared to the noise and chaos in the lobby, it was peaceful here in the bar. We were alone in our corner and it gave us a semblance of privacy."I'm sorry. I panicked with all those people around us," I admitted as s

SARAH“I can't believe it. I’d watched this so many times but it’s still giving me butterflies!”“I couldn’t believe it either! Who would have thought that our Spencer would finally fall in love like this? Look... he was so sweet and tender with Fae here! Thank goodness there was a video; otherwise, no one would have believed it. He’s always so reserved… but kissing and dancing on the dance floor? I’d never seen that boy act like this before!”“I heard that Donya Leah was restless when she saw the video of her grandson and favorite debutante. She’s been calling her friends and already wants to plan a wedding!”The two women laughed uproariously.“I remember during the wedding, I felt so sorry for that girl because even though it was very hard for her, she chose to be there for Carl and the family. You know, even Carl’s grandparents didn’t come home. But I’m not worried anymore. It’s good that she ended up with Spencer. Spencer is far more handsome and successful than Carl! And she’s s

CARLThis isn’t be possible. It can’t be happening.My eyes were glued to the screen of my tablet, at the clip of the dancing couple posted as a reel in one of our friends’ Facebook account. Gabrielle was trying to seem like she was over the moon over Jigo’s first ever obvious romantic affair and she was doing the works. But she would be secretly seething because she wanted Jigo herself.What’s happening? Jigo and Fae… together? How did it happen? I told him specifically to keep an eye on her. I never told him to pounce on her when she was vulnerable. My head felt overblown. Never have I imagined my bestfriend and the young woman I still see as a girl and a sister together like this. Never.And I felt confused. Where was this resentment coming from? Why did I feel betrayed? Both of them didn’t owe me anything. And I didn’t see Fae like that… like a possession or something. Maybe it was because I took my big brother role seriously that I felt like they should have asked for my permissi

FAEOur Sunday plans with my friends went through as expected. My friends arrived as early as nine, picked up by Jigo’s driver. After a quick snack, we started showing Joanna, Pam, and Kacey around the property.Thanks to our nightclubbing before, the three were no longer awkward around Jigo. The conversation was lively and loud. They teased us about the pictures from last night’s party going viral on social media, even more so than our clubbing photos, because the press was there. We hadn't checked our social media, but Jigo spoke to the family publicist on the phone earlier so we knew that Lola Leah already heard about it. She saw a video of our moments on the dance floor because many guests recorded it on their personal phones. Jigo needed to schedule a visit to his grandmother before she got impatient for news about her grandson!But we knew we had one more day of impasse before we could proceed with our plan to tell Lola Leah the truth about our relationship. We talked earlier ab

FAE“Jigo!”I turned to the voice. Actually, all of us did. We were still in the restaurant, going through the initial and most important detail of the incoming church wedding, trying to wriggle ourselves out of schedules (mostly of the two because I still was officially unemployed and though Lola Leah was long retired, her social calendar was so swamped she still used an assistant), when someone opened the closed double doors and made a noisy entrance.I recognized the voice. It was Gabrielle, one of the females who used to hang out with the guys in the campus. I didn’t know her anywhere but there and it had been a long time since I had seen her. There was little change to her physical looks, I observed as she walked in, her curvy hips swaying. Still tall, and willowy and pretty. She was a cheerleader, and she did ballet. And she was one of those who were nice to me.That was when I still liked Carl. I had always suspected Gabrielle secretly liked Jigo. I wondered if they had ever h

CARLI didn’t want to leave her there. I could feel now the whiplash of our new situation. I wasn’t the primary person behind her anymore. She now had a husband. It didn’t even occur to her to fight that I stayed in the room; she just assumed I was teasing Lola Leah like the others. She didn’t need me anymore. She wasn’t thinking of me at all.And I didn’t think it would hurt like this. I was standing on the beach, an expanse of sand and sea in front of me. And noise. Boisterous noise. But my thoughts were left inside the hotel where my Fae was… the only girl I ever let close to me like blood. But it wasn’t enough. I didn’t know how to be a real brother. And I lost her.Guilt and shame slammed into me when I remembered how I had used her image to get off. How I was with my wife, yet my revulsion of her wasn’t enough for me to push her body away. Instead I used her to relieve myself of the traitorous sexual haze that had gripped me since watching the girl I had cared for as a sister fo

FAELola Leah had plans to grill us after dinner—I just know it. Jigo and me. The others would be sent to wherever they planned to go for the day. There was no discussion that an Engagement Party would be held as soon as possible for the closest friends of the family to keep up with appearances—a small price to pay for making a much-awaited event secret. That meant guests of about five hundred people. At least.I sighed. It’s started.But I could see how excited Lola Leah was to finally be able to do something she had been dreaming of doing for a very long time. Her eyes were twinkling, her lips couldn’t stop smiling, and her whole being was vibrating with bliss. We all could see this as we wrapped up lunch, the boys itching to go somewhere else. This only made me feel guiltier. We should have told her, included her from the beginning.She suddenly looked at me and I didn’t have time to hide the expression on my face. My eyes even felt a little wetter from unshed tears. Her frown was

FAEI couldn’t move. I was trying to breathe. I didn’t even know I had smiled automatically because Lola Leah was smiling. And it was such a sweet smile and I was thinking I was such an evil person for not telling her myself that I had married her favorite grandson.“Baby, relax,” Jigo whispered. “It’s going to be okay.” His hand left mine so he could grip my shoulder and pull me closer to him almost protectively. And I almost winced. We didn’t need protection from her lola. Really.“Oh my kids!” Lola Leah moved to get up, and two of the boys were quickly there, helping her up while the other was pulling her chair out of her way. Her hands were outstretched as those restless feet maneuvered and were approaching us. The Hug. I almost stepped back. But Jigo steadied me. And then she was there, and the air was filled with the sweet smell of expensive talcum powder and I was kissing both her cheeks as she did mine and Jigo’s and we were both getting blessings as she placed her right hand

SARAHThe phone was ringing but I couldn’t be bothered to answer. It was only when I heard the banging on the door that I realized who had been calling. Tom was the only person who knew I was back in the condo unit where I lived before, and that I had left Carl’s house three days ago. There was no one to call to help me move. I had no one. I even refused Carl’s offer to help by making his driver go with me. Not only did it feel like an insult, I also didn’t want him to know where I would go while I thought of what next to do. Up to the last minute, I had hoped he would change his mind. That the three days we spent together would make him reconsider what I could do for him as his wife, not just in the bedroom but as a partner. I could learn. I got this far because I worked and studied hard. I could go anywhere.But the third day, I woke up to find him dressed and ready to leave, taking my copy of the keys to the house, handing an ATM where I could take my initial expenses as I settl

JIGO“Do you ever wish for a honeymoon, baby?” I asked.Fae moved slightly from her lazy recline against me. We both faced the windows in the bedroom as we idled on the bed, spooning, after that first hot and fast fuck. I still couldn’t remove the smile on my lips. I had been a little rough, but I couldn’t help myself. I couldn’t control my response to my wife’s arousing groans and her body’s response to me.“Isn’t it like we’ve been on a honeymoon since that night you took my virginity from me? It felt like we’ve been at it like rabbits, honestly. We've been making love all day, sometimes twice, since you started sleeping in my bed.”I pulled her closer to me as we snickered. Then she turned her body towards me and her lips clamped to mine, her arms wounding their way around my neck, and there came back my boner.“Hmm… when are the guys expecting you?” she asked in a sultry voice as her body rubbed against mine.But I wasn’t ready to get that easily distracted. “Baby… the honeymoon.

FAE“I can’t believe the first time we’re back here again… it’ll be with him, of all people,” was what I whispered to Jigo as we got off the tarmac towards our waiting car. We flew via heli during the weekend as soon as he was free from work. The others had been here since Thursday with Carl. I wasn’t even still sure why I was here with him. It was Carl’s week with his other friends.I felt like I shouldn’t be here but Jigo insisted I came with him. I avoided the guys two days ago when they rushed to Jigo’s—our—pent suite when they found out what happened at the club and that Carl was there and the wife wasn’t going to be around. I slipped out before they could arrive because I didn’t want my presence and questions about me and Jigo to overshadow whatever male support the others were ready to shower Carl. At that point, on a group call, they already found out Carl and Sarah were separating three days since arriving from their honeymoon. They were probably going to talk about details a

JIGOWhen I left, the way Fae was treating the situation eased my worries about leaving her with Carl. Therefore, as I drove back to the pent suite I wasn’t thinking much about worse scenarios.Then I opened the door to the house with my key card and their laughter and easy banter from the direction of the dining area assaulted me. I became as stiff as a rock in the doorway, my whole body racked with fear and jealousy.It took a moment for me to wrestle myself away from those almost debilitating emotions. I rubbed my face with my hand and felt the tiredness from the almost sleepless night and the long day before that. I tried to school my face into obedience. In the few weeks we had been together, Fae had quickly become acclimated to my every mood and this was something I really didn’t want her to see. I trusted her. I kinda trusted Carl, too. It was my own insecurity—I didn’t even know I had this until right now—to their friendship that was gripping me at the moment.I wanted all her

JIGO“He came in before dark with a few companions—all of them women. The others have left so he is alone inside. I’m not sure where to call. He’s been telling everyone he’s single and available when he got drunk so I didn’t think I should call the missus. I called you, sir.”“You did good, Riggs. Thank you. I’ll take care of this.” I patted the manager’s shoulder before sliding the key card on the slot to the door of the private room where Carl was in. It was one of the larger ones executives and CEOs usually booked to entertain team members or clients. We didn’t normally use this, though. Our friends were all single except for Carl just recently, and me, secretly. We preferred seeing the crowd and welcomed the noise of merriment and relaxation after work. Or we used to.I pushed the door open and there was my friend, sleeping like a log on one of the long couches, one arm had dropped on the floor. I took a deep breath. Even in sleep, his face looked troubled. He had never seen Carl
