Lyken managed to convince Jada that he’ll take her to the event. He won’t get in so he didn’t bother changing clothes.He decided not to drink yet, too. He wants Jada to feel secure since he’s driving. Even back then, she didn't want him to drive when he drank, even just a sip."Ly are you ok?" Honey asked, worry written on her face."Never been better," he answered smiling.Lyken admits that he’s still hopeful that they will reconcile, as boyfriend and girlfriend. But he also chose not to push the case. For now, he just wants to enjoy her company.Of course, he wants to know more about Jada 2.0. Everything happened so fast but he won’t ask for anything more than what happened that day.Honey nodded at his response while Kobe tapped my shoulder. Everything feels better even with his situation with Jada being like this, friends.Although they’re not intimate because of the said friendship, He won’t exchange it for anything. He’d rather be friends with her than enemies.“Hollywood star!
Even when Jada and Lyken were still in a relationship back then, he never won against her when it comes to teasing or bugging someone. Though she’s shy, she’s naturally playful.That’s why he would often use his sulking techniques against her, just so she’d let go of him. And it’s the same up to now.Even before they stepped inside her condo, she asked him again about the woman who he was staying up late for, according to her. And despite her persistence, he still didn't give her an answer, because there was nothing to give.When she opened the door, everyone was startled to see her standing there, with both hands on her waist, “Who’s Lyken’s girlfriend? Speak up!” she asked, ambushing their friends.Honey’s mouth fell open, the rest of their friends either exchanged glances or creased their foreheads. Who won’t be surprised? Everyone thought she attended an event then all of a sudden, she stormed into her unit, asking that.Robin laughed loudly when he saw Lyken standing by the door
“Jadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Jadanelaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”The woman twitched when she heard that ear-piercing voice. Even with her eyes closed, she already knew who’s causing the disturbance.‘What’s up with him again? Is there an emergency?’Still half asleep, Jada forced herself up from the bed and opened the door of her room. She peeked outside to see what was going on.She was startled when Bambi pushed the door and pulled her out. “Care to explain?” flicking an eyebrow at her, Bambi lip-pointed the bouquet on the coffee table.Jada bent down to pick up the card that came with it. She needs to check or Bambi won’t let go of her.‘See you tonight! - D.’“Oh, it’s from Daniel,” then she passed the card to the pink. She laid down on the couch, closed her eyes, and tried sleeping again.“Daniel who?” Honey asked from nowhere.“Daniel Agosti,” Jada responded without opening her eyes.“Daniel Agosti? Daniel Agosti as in the popular race car driver?” Bambi asked in full e
“Dude, what are you planning to do?” Kobe asked.There inside Lyken’s car, cruising Toledo on their way to the airport. They’re going to pick up the daughter of their client.“Planning to do, on what?” he asked, confused.“Your plan about Jada’s suitors!” Kobe chuckled.Lyken looked at him, weighing if he was serious about what he was saying or not. Unfortunately, he does look like he’s serious, but he can only laugh at him.“What’s so funny, man? Are you just gonna let those suitors make a move on her? You won’t even do anything? You’re giving up?” he asked continuously.“You know my situation with Jada, man! From the moment she told me she wants us to be friends, I know. I already know that we’re hopeless. That she’s already put a period in our story,” he responded as he looked outside the window.“You’re confusing. I thought you still liked her? Do you still love her? Aren’t you even jealous of all those suitors? Well, for sure you’re not jealous yet, because you haven’t seen them
Jada and Daniel head to a restaurant in Centro. But since she’s still feeling full, she opted for a light meal and the same goes for her date.“You sure you're okay with that?” he even asked.“Yeah, I'm not really hungry.”It felt a little awkward going out with someone as popular as Daniel Agosti. From when they came in until they were seated, all attention was on them.“Uncomfortable?” he asked, likely sensing her uneasiness.“Not really. I'm a little conscious though, I feel like all eyes are on us,” she whispered.He looked around and chuckled. There’s a group of girls who waved at him when his eyes landed on them. The other girls looked like they were about to faint as he glanced at them.“All eyes are on you!” he told her. “You did catch their attention. Mine too!”Jada just shook her head. These girls are definitely after her attention. They’re trying to catch Daniel’s. Who won’t be? It’s Daniel Agosti anyway!She suddenly felt irritated. These girls are so desperate for attent
As we’re leaving for Huesca the next day, Honey and Jada decide to drop by the mall. They’re planning to shop for what they need and the pinks joined them.While in the car, the pinks talked nonstop. They start telling stories about boys, then their topic changes to outfits, then entertainment and everything else.“But in all fairness, byotch, Daniel seems serious about you,” Ada stated.“Byotch please, he’s just bored. Of course, he’s far from his family and he doesn't have lots of friends here in our country,” Jada retorted.“Wow! If all men get bored like that, dating and giving random gifts, then we girls would have been very happy,” Bambi squealed.Honey and Jada laughed. Jada suddenly recalled how they were before and she missed it. Back then, they all seemed to be problem free. But in reality, they have issues they can’t even tell each other.The gossiping and the laughter stopped when they got to the mall. After parking her car, Jada and her friends went straight to the depart
At eight in the morning, they’re already on their way to Huesca. The group brought two cars with them and they’re planning to leave them at the airport’s parking lot.In Kobe’s car, there’s Honey, Bambi, and Ada, while in Jada’s car were Steve, Robin, and Lyken. She insisted on driving to divert her attention.Daniel and Natalie went straight to the airport. They were already there when they arrived. After double-checking their luggage, they boarded the plane.Jada and Ada sat next to each other, and behind them were Bambi and Steve. Honey and Kobe were on their left side and Robin and Lyken were in front of them.The guests were on a different plane as they were late in booking their tickets. Fortunately, they found tickets with the same schedule as the group.It took them two hours to reach Huesca Airport and another 20 minutes to reach the resort. The heat of the sun was already painful to the skin and they were all very sweaty.When they reached the villa, everyone went straight t
It was past eleven in the evening when Honey and Kobe left. They said they were already sleepy so they let them go.They’re staying in one room, while Ada and Jada are roommates. In another room are Steve, Robin, and Bambi, while Lyken, Daniel, and Natalie have their rooms.The group stayed but in no less than thirty minutes, the rest of the guys left too. Jada stayed, watching the bonfire, enjoying its crackling sound.Her attention was caught when someone placed a hand on her shoulder. Jada looked up to see Lyken standing behind her, “You’re not going in yet?” he asked.Jada smiled and shook her head. She wants to stay a bit longer to listen to the sound of the waves. Lyken then sits next to her.“I thought you went in already,” she told him. Earlier, he excused himself to go to the restroom and when he came back, everyone had already left except Jada.He didn’t respond to her so she turned to face him. He was lying on the blanket, both arms propped under his head.“You go inside an
Lyken’s POV“Baby, what do you want for breakfast?” I asked when I noticed that she was already awake.We’ve already moved to our new house. I had this built two years ago, then two weeks before the wedding, I prepared it for us to move in right after the wedding.“Fried rice and salted egg,” she said as she rolled to her stomach.“Ok then, I’ll ask Lucy to prepare it,” then I stood up, kissed her forehead, and hugged her.“Ew! You smell bad!” she exclaimed as she pushed me away.I creased my forehead, and she looked disgusted. “I… I smell bad?” I asked in disbelief, and she nodded. “Baby, I just took a bath! I’m even wearing the perfume you gifted me!”“Ly, you stink! Go and bathe again!”I scratch the back of my head. I felt embarrassed, but I couldn’t stop myself from chuckling. ‘Is this because of her pregnancy?’To not ruin her mood, I quickly head to the bathroom to wash off the smell of perfume. That’s probably it.Jada waited for me, and when I returned, we went downstairs tog
It’s been two weeks since Lyken proposed, and now, they’re getting married. Yes, today is that day, and Jada could say she’s more than excited.Everyone thought it would take them a few months to walk down the aisle, but when Lyken said it was in two weeks, Jada agreed. There’s no reason not to.‘He loves me, and I feel the same for him. Why should we drag? In all honesty, I've never felt this happy before. Not since Lyken became my boyfriend.’When Jada and Lyken broke up, she thought they couldn’t fix things between them. But thanks to the power of forgiveness, they are where they are now.Just as Demi Moore said, ‘The things people do to each other, they remember. If they stay together, it's not because they forget. It's because they forgive.’And Jada agrees with her. Whether she likes it or not, what happened between Lyken and her will be forever part of their history. That’s something they can’t just erase.However, instead of seeing it as an obstacle, they should see it as a le
Jada was startled when she heard Honey yelling. She wanted to stop her, but she was in full warrior mode, so she didn’t bother.“Hey! Hey, you! Stand up, bitch!” Honey called off the woman as she pulled her arm.The girl sat up, rubbed her eyes, and tried to recognize who was the woman that was harassing her. “Who are you?” she even asked.The blonde girl was about to speak again, but Honey’s palm flew across her face. “You don’t have to know! What you need to do now is to get out of that bed,” Honey continued.When the woman didn’t move, Honey grabbed her by the hair and dragged her out of bed. The blanket covering her fell to the floor, and Jada was relieved when she saw that she was still wearing her bra and pants.“What the fuck is wrong with you?” She screamed as she struggled to stand up. “How dare you hurt me?”Honey slapped her again. She was trying to help the girl get her senses back. The girl with blonde hair touched her face and screamed when she saw bloodstain on her fin
The next day, Jada woke up past lunchtime. It was a Sunday. When she stepped out of her room, Jada saw their friends in the living room. Everyone’s there except for Lyken.“Hi, Ja,” Kobe greeted. “Lyken had to go with his parents to visit his grandparents. But I’m meeting him tonight. We’re talking to a client about a new project. But don’t worry, it won’t get in the way of your wedding.”Jada nodded at him as she sat on the couch. Steve sat next to Jada, reaching for her hand and giving it a light squeeze. “What happened to you guys?” he asked.She lets out a sigh and starts telling them everything. They were all just listening, sighing from time to time.“You just have to talk calmly,” Kobe suggested. Jada nodded at him, and he smiled. “There’s nothing the two of you can’t fix. Compared to what you went through before, this is nothing.”“Exactly! Just stay calm when you talk, both of you! The last time you did, you were at each other’s throats. Of course, nothing good will come out
Lyken felt his body stiffen when he heard what Jada said. Instead of explaining herself and apologizing for what she did, she asked him to leave.‘She’s unbelievable!’Jada quietly stood up, faced her closet, and pulled out a pair of pajamas. She started taking her clothes, one by one. She even ripped the fishnet off her body.She stopped her from what she was doing, holding both her wrists down. “What’s wrong with you?” Lyken sneered.She looked straight into his eyes, and Lyken wanted to back down. He saw how cold she was looking at him. ‘What’s happening to her?’“What else do you want me to do? I was considering quitting my career after marrying you because you said you don’t like it when I go out there, dressed up with almost nothing, and other men see me. I allow you to choose my outfit so we won’t argue about anything. Now, what else do you want?” she screamed, tears starting to flow down her cheeks.Lyken heard movements from behind him, it was Honey and the pinks, but he igno
Lyken already had a few drinks when he got to the venue. He came from his parent's place and had a few drinks with his cousins. But then they had to leave early for the party.“Hey, dude!” Kobe greeted him, and Lyken started introducing his cousins to him. “You ready to party?” he whispered as they entered the club.As soon as they entered, the lights turned off. Kobe led him to the couch and made him sit right in the middle. “Now you wait for the gifts,” he chuckled.Steve passed a glass of whiskey to him. Lyken took a sip and waited until he heard the music playing.‘Showtime!’The spotlight turned to the center of the floor, where two girls stood back to back. Then they turned to face each other. They started kissing before pushing each other away. Then they started walking toward Lyken.He didn’t like the idea of hiring strippers. They’re good for the eyes, but that was it. However, Steve and Robin decided to hire two strippers for the guests.They even told Jada about it, and she
Lyken stayed overnight, complaining about a throbbing headache. He was up early the next day to meet his relatives who came from the States for the wedding.Jada asked him to drop her at the mall. He didn’t ask why she was going there, so Jada was relieved. When she arrived, Ada and Bambi were already waiting for her.“Let’s go byotch!” Bambi excitedly pulled her. They went to the boutique she told them about last night. It’s a specialty store that sells stripper outfits for both men and women.As soon as they got in, Jada found the outfit she was thinking of wearing. A glitter sheer mesh jumpsuit.“Girl, no need to try it on!” Ada exclaimed, obviously excited.“I know, right?” She responded as she walked over to the counter.“Byotch, you need footwear to go with that,” Bambi reminded her then he showed her a pair of 6-inch mesh platforms.Checking the size, Jada took it from him and placed it on the counter as well, “Perfect,” she muttered as the cashier ran her items for checkout.
‘It’s Lyken! It’s definitely him!’Jada knew something was up when their friends were all acting weird while planning the party. They’re hiding something, and this was it. Lyken showed up as a stripper!“Surprised?” he whispered as he planted a kiss on her lips and lightly sucked her lower lip.Lyken removed his mask, “Why are you here?” Jada chuckled, shaking her head at him.“This is Bambi and Ada’s idea,” he informed her. “They talked me into doing this. Even Robin and Steve helped them.”Jada looked at the pinks. They were now busy squirming because the strippers were on them. She laughed, hitting Lyken lightly in the arm.“Why would you even ask me to change clothes when you were attending anyway!”Lyken wrapped his arms around her waist, pulled her closer, and let her chin rest on his shoulder. “I know you were upset about that earlier,” he whispered. “But as you can see, there are still other men here, baby.”“Why are you so jealous?!” Jada asked in a low voice.Lyken let out a
After a week, all the preparations for Jada and Lyken’s wedding has been completed. The church, venue for the reception, gowns for the bride and entourage, and the wedding theme were all set.Lyken and Kobe were done with all their projects as well. Kobe has also signed Lyken’s leave of absence for his upcoming wedding.“Baby, your bridal shower’s tonight, right?” Lyken asked. He was lying on the couch with a pillow propped under his head.Jada sat next to him, handing him a glass of mango juice, “Yep! But the pinks are way more excited for that,” she chuckled.He just nodded and smiled as he pulled himself up. “Don’t look too much, okay?” he reminded. Jada and Lyken were informed that the pinks hired a stripper for the event.“Of course… unless something is interesting to look at,” she grinned.Lyken glared at her, scrunched his nose, he cleared his throat as if sending a warning. As she got the signal, Jada showed him a peace sign to calm him down before snuggling next to him.“Hmph
