Kristofferson shook hands with Jason with a 'hey' which he got back from Jason, he shook her hands with Anna too with a 'nice to meet you' and a 'me too' from her.
"Kristoff is actually a graduate. He graduated two years ago but works in the computer department in my school, you know, he studied computer engineering" Christy explained.No wonder he felt he was older, Jason thought "that's good. I'm studying computer engineering too, will be graduating next year, you think you can leave me some tips?" "Sure, whenever you are ready" Kristoff said."I will look forward to it" Jason smiled."Alright Jason, enjoy the party, you too Anna" Christy offered before walking away with her boyfriend."He seems strange" Anna stated."You think? Well you won't blame him, he looks twenty four or five, attending a party filled with early twenty kids, he should feel out of place.""Are you really going to meet him for some tips like you said?""Not really.""Then wAnna opened her eyes in the morning to take in the unfamiliar surrounding, resting on the chair was Jason, she sighed when she saw him and then event of last night came rushing in, her eyes stung as she remembered how she had just laid there and allowed Kirstoff to undress her without even raising a finger. She had thought it was the end but only to be talked into going for a rape kit when she arrived at the hospital, she remembered how sacred she was and if it wasn't for Jason telling her everything will alright and he will be around if she should need him, she would have never agreed to it.She heaved out a sigh, she is glad that it's finally over "Jason" she called and he moved, his eyelids fluttered open slowly before snapping open when he noticed that she was awake, he was beside her in the bed in a flash."How are you feeling? Are you okay? Are you feeling pain anywhere?" He threw questions after questions at her.Anna smiled and grabbed his hand "I'm okay, I wa
Anna was discharged later in the day and they all went home but not without Christy apologizing to her again. They got home and Jason rushed up to his room to have a shower and Anna same while Veronica went into the kitchen to make dinner, she was planning to come back today anyway only that Jason's call hurried her up.They all settled for dinner later in the dinning table, each silently eating their food when Jason broke the silent "I have to go back to school mom, classes started yesterday and I have already missed yesterday and today and also going to miss tomorrow.""Oh" Veronica said "I'm sorry about that, guess I will book a flight for you tomorrow then or will you want to leave this night?"He looked at Anna and noticed the moisture in her eyes and sighed "no, tomorrow will be better.""I thought the same too" she looked at Anna "will you be leaving today or tomorrow too?""School is nearby, I can always go anytime" Anna replied."That's true. Well, guess I
Jason did as he promised, he never gave Anna the chance to miss him. He called like crazy and she enjoyed picking his calls. He calls every single time when she is in school and in her dorm but whenever she goes to their parents home, which she does every weekend, he calls only at night when he was sure their parents will be asleep. In as much as the time zone of the two countries are different, he never let it hinder him from calling her and that brought them closer and more in love with each other every single day.Days flew by and it was December in the blink of an eye, schools were on the edge of closing for the holiday season. Anna was the first to get home and every night she talked to Jason, she never misses to urge him to get back faster which he always promise to do once he was done. The snows were already piling up and everywhere was the color white, people were already putting up snowmen in front of their houses but Anna was waiting for Jason to come back because he pr
next day, Anna woke up and went to her window, everywhere was so white that it almost blinded her, she can hear the sound of shovel packing something and looked down to see Jason clearing the front yard, it had snowed last night and everywhere was piled up again. She rushed into the bathroom and brushed her teeth, she rinsed her mouth and shivered, the water was freezing cold.She put on her body warmer, her gloves and head warmer, she grabbed her scarf and wrapped on her neck and put on her boots before walking downstairs, she went to the kitchen and grabbed a shovel before walking outside to join Jason "need a hand?"He looked up at her at the porch and smiled "it's freezing cold."Anna looked at herself "I came prepared" she smiled and walked down the porch to join him, they set to work. When they were almost done, she stopped working and stared at Jason's back, a mischievous grin spread on her face and she dipped her gloved hand into the piled up snow, she scooped
Christmas day finally arrived, everybody was happy most especially Jason and Anna, this is the first Christmas they are having as lovers. It's amazing almost unbelievable that they are dating but neither their parents nor the world knows. They stole glances from each other when opportune and give eye signals when no one is looking, they blew kisses when everybody is busy and they kiss each other when everybody was asleep.Yes, it is a secret relationship but they are happy with it like that, to them it is better they date secretly than they don't date at all. They know that one day, it will be out in the open and the world will curse them, their parents will be angry with them and if possible separate them and refuse to forgive them for their sin but they love each other too much to care. One day it's going to happen but if only the world and their parents will know how much they love each other, maybe they won't blame them, maybe they might even support them.But they know th
They returned later covered in snow from head to toe and smiling sheepishly."Goodness Gracious! What happened to you four?" A lady with sandy brown hair shrieked when she saw them dusting off the snow."Hi aunt Lucy, we were snowboarding. Jack and I were in team while Jimmy and Timmy were in team. They saw Jack and I continue winning and pushed us, causing all of us to tumble on the snow. Good thing none of us fell off the mountain" Jason explained in one breath.Aunt Lucy looked at her boys before sighing and walking up to them, she helped them dust off the snows on their hairs while chiding them in the process "I have told you guys to beware of the kind of games you play, how can you be pushing someone in the mountain, what if you caused an avalanche and you all fall of the mountain, huh, what I'm I supposed to do then huh?""We are sorry mom" Timmy and Jimmy apologized to their mother."What happened?" They heard and turned to see Veronica and Marsha approaching t
Jason's heart missed a beat when he heard her voice "em, I...I ...I returned... Yea returned Anna's earphones, I burrowed it this afternoon" he gulped and his heart thumped loudly in his chest."Can't you give it to her in the morning?""She claimed she wants to use it this night, you know how Anna can be" he intentionally raised his voice, hoping Anna will hear him and get her earphones."Yea. Alright then, goodnight.""Yea goodnight" Jason heaved a sigh and intends to walk away."Why is your lips swollen?" Sarah stopped and asked him again."I bumped into the wall in my room while looking for the light switch, is it that obvious?" He touched his lips."Not much, just that I was standing too close to you then. Goodnight Jason" Sarah bid and walked into her room.Jason heaves a low sigh of relief "goodnight Sarah" he then walked down to the last room at the extreme and got in."Hey where are you two going?" Jack inquired when he saw Jason and Ann
After new year, Jason went back to school, so did Anna. He will be graduating this year and a friend of his father has already promised him to reserve a seat for him in the computer department of his software company and Jason just can't wait to start working. And what's good? It's in LA, his home town, nothing can be more amazing than that. He has already planned out his life, after school, he will work for three months while living in his parents home and after that, he will get an apartment of his own where he will live the rest of his life.Anna will get married and he will attend her wedding as her brother, she will have kids and he will be their godfather, life will be good. He didn't rule out a time for him to get married because he doubt if he will ever love another woman the way he love his sister, so marriage is out of his dictionary.Time flew by and his graduation was fast approaching, and so is also a basket game. He had promised Anna that she will come watch it a
Every thing went successfully and happily, well, except for Nana Edna and Veronica who were dragging who to be named after the baby if it happens to be a girl and grandpa Oscar and Samuel argued who will be named after if it happens to be a boy."You are the great grandparents, why can't you let us the grandparents be named after our grandchildren?" Veronica and Samuel will always ask."Because you didn't name our own grandchildren after us" Nana Edna and grandpa Oscar will always retort.While they all argued, Jason and Anna will always watch from the side, a beautiful smile on their lips. Back when they started their relationship, they had always believed that they were sinning against morality, against their family and against the world and then, what they thought would have been their retribution turned out to be a blessing.When they found out about Anna's pregnancy, they thought they were done for and then just like a miracle, their love was exposed as well as thei
Jason's eyes were red and it was evident he had been crying, Anna had her hand on his which showed she had been comforting him, her eyes were teary too, Samuel beckoned Veronica to come to him and he pulled her into his arms, no one knows how much she hate to talk about Jason's fate like him, that day she had lost a sister and a friend, so he understands very well."Did they really...died...the day...I was born?" Jason asked, veronica released herself from Samuel's hold and walked to him, she cupped his face in her hands and wiped his tears away with her thumps."I'm sorry, I never wanted to tell you this news because I know how it will affect you. I'm really sorry but I want you to know, it's not your fault and they don't blame you. Wherever they are now, I'm sure they are very happy and proud of you. They love you so much, I was there, I know how much they were expecting you, Eunice just can't stop talking of what to do when you arrive and Gerald said he will teach you how t
When Veronica saw the news and papers, her eyes burned red, who could it be? Who could hate her family so much? She thought back to who might know of the news and remembering that Sharon was the one that called her and told her about the pregnancy, she couldn't contain her anger, she got her phone immediately and dialed her number.Sharon picked at second call "oh my God Vero, how did the papers got to know? Who gave them such assumption?" She sounded frantic and for a minute, Veronica thought she might not be the culprit, but then who will it be if not her?"Don't sound like that with me Sharon, how could you do this!" Veronica was angry.Sharon was speechless for a while before saying "you think I did this?""Who else will it be? You are the only one that knows Anna is pregnant, you are the one that called and told me. Even if Benita knows, I don't think she will do this kind of thing!""I don't understand you Vero, Benita is my sister, I am your friend. If you can
Not only Jason but Anna also froze, she looked from Jason to their mother and then their father and back to Jason again. In the blink of an eye, her shock started to fade away, and in it's stead was an overwhelming happiness, Jason is not her brother, not by blood. They are practically two different beings, her happiness knew now bound and it was growing on her face as a blissful smile spread on her lips, but that is to her.To Jason, he was still in shock, his mind refusing to take in this new news, so the people he has address as his parents in the nearly twenty two years of his life were not actually his parents? He should be happy but why is he sad, why is his heart tearing out in pain "but...but...you have all my pictures, from when I was a day old, how...how...I'm I adopted?"Samuel sat up in the sofa "you were adopted when you were only two hours old. I was at home when your mother, I mean Veronica came home carrying a baby, she told me she want to adopt him because he
Veronica was pacing to and fro in the living room with her phone in her hand while Samuel was sitting on the sofa, his head resting on it. They both looked at the door when they heard it open. Veronica was surprised when she saw Jason but she didn't let it show, her gaze settled on the petite figure hiding behind him "I am going to ask this only once. Annabelle Naomi Macaulay, are you pregnant?"Anna and Jason stiffened at the tone of their mother's voice, she already know just like they suspected. Their lips were tight shut and they both kept their gaze on the floor. Seeing them behave like that, Veronica's heart constricted, there is no need asking, their behavior have just proven it "I'm asking you a question young lady" she raised her voice a bit higher this time.Anna sniffed and slowly nodded her head. Veronica became lost for words, even though she suspected it, seeing her admitting it was a whole different story "who is responsible?" Veronica asked, there is no way she
When Jason and Anna got to the hotel room, they both sat on the bed silently, each lost to their own thoughts. After like thirty minutes, Jason looked at her "I have been thinking" Anna granted him her attention then, she waited for him to continue but when he didn't, fear gripped her heart and she shook her head at him."No Jason, don't even think about it, don't even say it out loud, I don't want to hear it!"Jason looked at her in confusion, he grabbed her hands in his "say what Anna?"Anna's eyes had welled up and it wasn't long, the tears started dropping "I'm not having an abortion."Jason heaved a sigh and looked away from her "Jason, I know this is wrong but this is life we are talking about here and not just any life, our baby. Will you bear to kill our baby? When I saw that little dot in that monitor, I developed a sense of protection. I want to have my baby, please Jason" she sobbed.Jason heaved another low sigh "I will not lie to you Anna, I did think abo
Veronica stepped out of her office, it's been a tiring day, and she wants to do nothing but go home, have dinner, take a shower and go to bed. The thought of shower caused her body to tingle with expectation. She walked to the parking lot and got into her car, she closed the door and just in time to hear her phone ringing, she searched her handbag and got it out "hello Sharon.""Veronica. How are you?""I'm okay, you?""I'm great. Sorry I didn't turn up for the meeting last week, I was just so busy.""It's okay, we managed.""Oh, where are you?""On my way home.""Oh. Benjamin's father had a heart attack again, so we rushed him to the hospital.""Oh my, that's too bad. Is he feeling better now?""Yes, he is getting better, he has even regained consciousness.""That's good. Well, I wish him quick recovery.""Thank you. Em, that reminds me, is Anna sick?""Anna, sick? No, not that I know of. Why do you ask?""Well, I just saw her and Jason leavin
Anna turned to look at him with fear in her eyes "what...what...what do..do you...think?"Jason remained silent for a while before heaving a deep sigh "I think we need to go to a hospital.""Hospital? Is it necessary?" She asked."Yes" he answered "for all the obvious reasons.""What about class?""Let's go have it first, then you will come back for class and after school, we will go back for the result.""What result?"Jason sighed "Anna, come on."Anna bit her lower lip, her heart was already thumping in her chest and she knows which test Jason wants her to take. They walked back to the canteen and she grabbed her bag before they both left for the hospital.There was a hospital not to far away from her school, so they entered there. Jason spoke to a nurse and she ushered Anna in to speak with the doctor. After that, a pregnancy test strip was given to her and she walked into the bathroom and peed on it. She rushed out and handed the strip to the nurse.
A month later, Jason stepped on the soil of Los Angeles but rather than go home, he went straight to Anna's school. Anna was shocked when she received Jason's call that he was at her school gate, she had dashed out of her dorm and fair enough, he was there, she jumped on him and he spun three times with her before putting her back on her feet."When I call you feisty tigress, you will get annoyed but now look at you" he laughed.Anna spanked him on his shoulder lightly, she so much wanted to kiss him but they just can't, this is LA after all "what are you doing here?""Hmm, that's not what you asked when you jumped on me a minute ago" he grinned.Anna chuckled "well, first of all, I have to react on seeing you before questioning you, don't you think?""You busy? Come join me for dinner."Anna looked at her dressing "I'm I good like this?""You will look beautiful no matter what you wear" he complimented."Why, thank you" she replied shyly before grabbing his
