Jada’s recall of the past was interrupted when she heard someone knocking. She paid no attention to whoever it was, regardless of how long they were there, until they left on their own. Looking around the room, she started gathering her things. When she’s done, she took her phone and booked herself a ticket to California, where her parents are. ‘It’s the only place I can be in peace so I’d rather be there in the meantime than be at my condo where he has easy access, or better yet, I’ll stay there for good. The farther I am from Lyken, the better.’ She checked her watch and it was only fifteen past midnight. She decided to sleep while waiting for a chance to leave. However, as soon as her back touched the bed, someone’s knocking again. This time it’s way louder than the first ones. “Jada, please open the door. Let’s talk,” it was Lyken. His words were slurred and his voice was hoarse. Jada can easily tell that he’s drunk. But just like what she did to Honey and their other friend
“Baby are you ready?” Jada's mom called from outside the room.“Yes ma, I’ll be out in a bit,” she replied then she started putting away her makeup and squeezing the makeup kit inside the suitcase.She went out of the room and headed downstairs, putting her luggage along with her parents’ luggage. They’re all flying back to Zaragoza to attend Honey and Kobe’s wedding.It's still two months before the big day but they are coming early to help Honey with the preparations. The couple also wanted Jada’s parents to be their Principal Sponsors and the two happily agreed.Aside from Jada being the Maid of Honey, Jenny and Lowela are part of the entourage too, they’re Honey’s bridesmaids. The two were their college buddies and they’re still close though they don’t see them often.As for Kobe, his Best Man is none other than Lyken. His groomsmen include Robin and Steve. As well as their college buddy, Kyle.The pinks are neither bridesmaids nor groomsmen. But they will play an important role th
All eyes were on Lyken when he arrived. He was looking gorgeous in his navy blue long sleeves with a hand embellishment.Looking closely, Jada wanted to roll her eyes when she realized it wasn’t just an embellishment. It’s a real hand.Before she looked at the owner, she wished it was Ada but her genie failed her. Walking next to Lyken is a sophisticated-looking woman, smiling at them.She averted her eyes and focused on the watermelon instead. Jada started stabbing it with a fork as a way of distraction.She wasn’t sure why she was reacting like that. She admits that she’s feeling irritated and she couldn’t deny that. Despite the weird emotions, she still manages to smile.Being able to feel irritated at the sight of Lyken showing up with another woman, could only mean one thing. She’s indeed human, still human.The scene hurt her, but she can say that she’s already forgiven Lyken for everything he’s done. Jada’s moved on from the ghost of her past, their past.Whatever irritation sh
Lyken was relieved when Honey came down from Jada’s room and told him she was fine. Jada just had an upset stomach.He’s been wondering how they’ll be able to talk though. Lyken wanted to fix things between them before Honey and Kobe’s wedding. Even just for their closure, he’s fine with that.After almost an hour, he saw Jada come downstairs. They were still on the veranda, but Jada’s parents had already left to rest for a while.Josefin poked his arm and pointed at Jada, she was on her way to the garden. Lyken nodded and stood up to follow her.“Ja, how are you?” Lyken asked, but she didn’t respond. Letting out a nervous breath, he clasped his hands behind his back and continued, “Jada I’m really sorry about everything I did in the past. I was hoping you can still forgive me and forget about all that. Let’s start anew, even just as friends,” he stated.However, Jada was still unresponsive. “Ja, please, I’m really sorry,” he told her again but he was still ignored. Lyken chose to kee
Jada’s nowhere to be seen when Lyken came back. He left the group for almost an hour because he had a hard time mediating between Josefin and her fiancé, Emil.“Dude, can you go fetch Jada? She won’t listen, she’s already wasted,” Robin told him as soon as his butt touched the couch.He looked at the dancefloor, scanning the crowd to find the person he’s looking for. There he saw her with Bambi and Ada.All the blood in his body rushed to his head when he leaned closer to get a better look at her. She’s dancing with a guy he’s not familiar with. He doesn’t even know if she knows the man.Jada’s one arm is wrapped around the man’s neck, while the other one still holds the bottle of vodka. He shook his head in disbelief. ‘What is going on with her?’Lyken doesn’t know if he should go to her. He doesn’t even know what he will do to get her off of the dancefloor. He glanced at Kobe and he, too, looked worried.“Go ahead man, she’s already drunk a lot,” Kobe urged. Left without a choice, h
Jada dreamt that Lyken was kissing her. ‘Ugh! If only I could dream like that every night. If only it wasn’t ruined in the end.’She dreamt that she asked him to stay although he was already engaged. At least for that night and he did. He spent the night with her.And Jada was right, it was nothing more than a dream. Because when she woke up, she didn’t see Lyken next to her.She reached out for the pillow next to her and hugged it. When her nose touched the cover, her breath hitched. ‘Why does it smell like him?’Nervous, Jada tried recalling everything that happened. From the bar to her room and everything in between. ‘Holy! Was it Lyken who danced with me last night?’‘If that’s really him, then that means he was the one who brought me home too. He was the one who laid me down on the bed. He was the one who lied next to me. He was the one I kissed.’‘Did that really happen? It can’t be because that’s just downright stupidity!’She quickly got off of her bed, headed straight to the
Jada and Honey went to Benitez Tower. The designer’s boutique, K’s Creation, is on the second floor of the building. The receptionist greeted them as she opened the door.“Do you have an appointment, Miss?” a woman carrying an organizer approached them and asked.“Yes! I’m Miss Perez. I’m fitting my gown today,” Honey replied with a smile.“Oh, Miss KC’s waiting for you in her office,” then she led them to the far end of the boutique, into the designer’s office.If you were to look at it from the outside, the office looked small. But inside, it was spacious, and the designer set it up cozily.A gorgeous young lady welcomed them. She looked like she was in her early 20s, a young lady indeed.She sports natural brown pixie hair that showcases her facial features. She’s between fair and brown in complexion and has a slender body.The woman called KC can be considered a model with her long legs and beautiful face. Her brows are naturally arched, something to envy for most women.“Hi, sis
Lyken lost his focus on Kobe’s party when Jada walked past them. He saw the bikini she was wearing, and when he looked around, almost everyone at the bachelor’s party was in awe after seeing her.‘I don’t like that!’He doesn’t like it when other men see her in such outfits. He knows it’s normal for her since she’s a model, but Lyken still doesn’t like it.Especially not there, not at that party. Jada was not there to work. She’s there to celebrate her friend’s last days as a single woman, not to fill the eyes of these filthy men.She followed Jada to guard her, and when they talked, he saw annoyance in her eyes. She also mentioned his fiancé again, and Lyken still doesn’t understand where she got the idea that he’s engaged.“Ly!” Robin called as he walked towards him. He looked up to his friend as he spread his legs and leaned his arms backward. He’s sitting on the sand not far from the parties’ venue. “What’s the problem?” Robin asked again when he realized that Lyken didn’t even re
