BETH’S POV
"Hi, old maid!" my classmates teased.Today is the first day of class. I'm in my second year in college, but they still haven't changed their treatment of me.They are no longer fed up with the bullying they have been doing to me. That they grew up and used to call me names in a negative way.I'm also used to that. At first, I was still crying when they started to bully me. But later on, I just ignored them.Until our first year of college, nothing new. But I learned to fight them. I don't indulge in fistfights but I show them that I'm not happy with what they're doing. I just rolled my eyes at them and even looked at them in a scary way.And the initiator? Kian.His day would not be complete without seeing me bullied or criticized.He seems to be a baby that was not being cared for. Not knowing he also had a mother and made fun with helpless girls.And what's even more annoying is that I'm the only one he's having fun with. he was handsome, yes, and he was a fantasy of every woman.He doesn't have a serious relationship but he has a lot of flings. We have been in the same class since elementary. We had never been close, and we didn’t pay attention to each other either. But when we entered high school, he started bullying me and the others.That's why I always sit in the farthest seat in the classroom to avoid any bullying. When I'm in front of them they will throw papers or whatever at me.I sat on the sofa when I got home. As usual, I was alone again. Mom and Dad are in the province to take care of their poultry business.I had closed my eyes for a few minutes when my cellphone rang. I smiled when I saw who the caller was."Dave," I said cheerfully as I answered the call."Hey," he replied. His voice is really handsome. I've been chatting and calling Dave for five months. I met him once when I was at a party my cousin attended."What are you doing?" he asked."Sitting, just got home from school. Alone and bored," I lazily answered with a sigh."Mind if I join you there?"I smiled at what he said."Hmmm," I only said."Be there in fifteen minutes."I was surprised by what he said."Seriously?" I stood up and felt excitement."Yeah, if you want me to.""O-Of course. You are welcome here," I replied nervously.When he dropped the call I quickly went into the bathroom to take a shower. Just as I came out of the bathroom, I heard the doorbell ring. I didn't even bother to wear clothes. I immediately headed for the door to open it for Dave."Hi," he greeted while lifting his food and wine. I opened the door widely so he could get in.When he landed what he brought on the center table, he immediately grabbed me with a kiss. I smiled and immediately responded to his kisses.I like Dave. I have also been able to call him for a long time and often talk to him online. He’s kind and sweet. He’s perfect to be my boyfriend.He stroked me on my back down to my waist. My one hand gripped his jaw while the other hand gripped his shoulder tightly. I hear his sexy moan when I gently bit his lower lip. He hugged me even tighter and caressed my shoulder and arm.He is a good kisser. I have nothing to compare with because he is still the first man I have ever kissed. But as my body heated, I knew for sure that he has a lot of experience in kissing girls.I hugged him tightly as we continued our passionate kiss. I was relieved when he caressed my waist."Ah!" I moaned as his kiss went down to my jaw, down to my neck. I'm getting hot.I immediately touched the hem of his t-shirt as he continued to give a warm kiss on my neck as his warm hands caressed my skin. He stopped on what he was doing and looked at me with longing. I smiled at him. He was about to take off his shirt when my cellphone rang.Dave and I looked at each other. I didn't want to pay any more attention to the call but Dave told me to answer the call. He smiled and give me a peck on the lips.My cellphone stopped ringing but it rings again. I lazily approached the phone to answer the call. Maybe it’s my parents and I’ll just say hello."Hello," I said as I answered my phone. No one answered immediately on the other line so I'm sure it wasn't my Mom or Dad."Hello," I repeated.“I’m watching an exciting show, right now,” he said on the other line. I know that voice. It’s Kian.I blinked. He laughed which annoyed me. I hung up the phone when I was stunned by what he said next. I was too shocked. My heart beats faster because of what he said.I could not answer immediately."Hmm. The nerd and her video scandal," he said sarcastically.No! This can't be."What do you want," I answered lazily and did not let him know that I'm in fear and nervous right now."First, I want you to send your boy away." What? I turned to Dave who was sitting on the couch. There was a smile on his lips as he looked at me."What else?" I asked but he dropped the call. I held the phone tightly because of the annoyance I was feeling."Are you, okay?" Dave asked."Ah, yeah. I'm sorry, Dave. It looks like you can't stay overnight. I'm going to my aunt's house, " I expertly lied."It's okay," he said and nodded. He stood up and approached me. He grabbed me with a kiss again.I had to respond and I didn't know if I would push him but I was very grateful when the phone rang again. Dave stopped and smiled at me. He stroked my cheek. I never answered the call and let Kian get bored on the other line.When Dave left I leaned against the wall. I feel weak. I was shocked to notice that the window was not very closed. That's why we're caught kissing.The phone rang again. I didn't answer it so I felt annoyed when he called my phone and cellphone at the same time."What do you need?" I asked irritated."Come here," he said and turned off the call. I rolled my eyes and lazily entered my room to get dressed.I rang the doorbell of his house twice. I was bored standing here outside their door while waiting for him to open it for me. Finally, Kian, naked, opened the door. I looked away but I was able to fully saw his abs.I heard her grin. He suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me into their house."What the heck! Why do you even have to touch me?" I said irritated."Nerd," he said and I just frowned."Why did you ask me to come here?" I asked and looked at him seriously.He looked at me with his goofy aura so I was stunned. "Don't show me that kind of attitude. Be good, or I expose your video," he threatened.I sighed. I could already imagine myself walking across the campus while students were feasting on my scandal exposed by Kian.This is not possible. I might be suspended from school."What do you want me to do in exchange for deleting the video?" I asked and hide my fear. Though I'm afraid of what he might ask me to do. Maybe he planned to enslave me."Be my woman," he replied. I almost choked with my own saliva after hearing those from him.What did he say? He wants me to be his woman? Why me?I was being called an old woman and I was being bullied by him, then why ask me to be his woman?Hmmm. I may have misunderstood it. There are only two possible meanings of what he said.Woman as in girlfriend.Or woman as in, his sex slave.We were both fell silent. I want him to clarify what he said. But a few minutes later he just kept staring at me."What does your woman do?" I asked.He grinned and looked at me as he raised an eyebrow.I averted my eyes from him. I silently cursed myself for what I am thinking right now.I think, he'll be the one who will get my virginity.I found myself answering Kian's fiery kisses. And I feel weird as I savor his kisses and caresses. My heart is beating fast. Butterflies were flying in my stomach. My body aches for his touch.Damn!I was relieved when he gently stroked my chest. His hand was already inside my dress as he gently caressed my chest while my bra is still on."Aahh," I muttered. It’s like I want to be ashamed of myself. Why do I feel this way? Why do I enjoy his caresses and kisses? We’re not even on good terms, for Pete's sakes!He leaned me against the wall of his room. We gasped for air as he let go of my lips.He stared into my eyes for a moment then grabbed me again with a kiss. He quickly took off all my clothes, I was naked in front of him. He watched my nakedness.I can see lust and excitement in his eyes. Never thought that I can be in a situation like this with Kian."Turn around," he commanded. I swallowed and slowly turned my back on him.He parted my legs. My heartbeats quickened. I was sweat
I stayed in his house overnight. We stay awake late at night having fun and moaning each other's names. I think we fell asleep in the morning.The next morning we went to university together. He accompanied me to his car. He opened the car door for me as we reached the university parking lot.Other students looked at us as we walked. Frowning and there was astonishment on their faces as they stared at us. It seemed wrong in their eyes that Kian and I were together now.That's really wrong.This day doesn't seem normal to me either. No one tried to bully me. Especially the cheerleaders who often stone me with crumpled papers. I smiled to myself. Not that bad either. The perks of being Kian's woman.Kian drove me to the door of my first subject. We won't be in the same class in my major subjects because we have different courses.My classmates fell silent when they saw me. They did not laugh at me and did not say insulting words. The class was quiet until lunch break came. I went to the
I fell silent and bowed my head as I sat here on Kian's couch. I am sitting in between my mother and father."My daughter is a girl. I can't accept that Kian isn't responsible for her," daddy said.Mommy caresses his arm to calm him down. I was crying and there was only one thing in my mind. Daddy wanted Kian to marry me. I will be Kian's wife. But Kian, will he agree? I know he will deny everything. The worst is if he runs away.Kian's parents fell into silence. I can’t predict if his daddy is angry. But her mommy was just smiling and calm. We heard the arrival of Kian's car. My heartbeat quickened and my palms are sweating.When the door opened I bowed my head even more. I can't look at Kian. Yes, he did wrong against me and I am angry with him. Today's case has been overshadowed by the new problem we are facing. Unlucky, isn't it?Kian sat down on the single couch. I heard Daddy clear his throat."You have a relationship, why are you keeping it a secret from us?" Kian's mother aske
I didn’t get much sleep overnight because of what happened. I can't believe Kian and I are married. We didn't even go through the courtship or boyfriend-girlfriend stage.My eyes remained closed. I just want to sleep the whole day. It's weekends now, I don't have classes.I felt the door open, and next thing I hear some footsteps of him. My eyes remain closed and pretend that I was still asleep. I can hear the sound of the metal when he put it on the table that is just beside the bed. After that, he sat down next to me. I ignored him, but suddenly I can feel his finger tips on my cheeks. "I know you're awake," he softly said.When will I get use on seeing his face everytime I wake up in the morning? And his very manly and sexy voice that would wake me up each day. I opened my eyes slowly and I saw him smiling. His smile was so sexy. He even bit his lower lip. Then he lean closer and gave me kisses me on my head. I close my eyes when he kissed my nose. When he was about to kiss me o
We made the most of our whole day at the resort. We tries almost all of the activities that the resort offered. Island hopping, scuba diving, para sailing, we ride on a jetski and etc. I enjoyed it a lot. This is our first ever date together. He promised that he will take me out on a date more often.And I am alreading looking forward on it. For the first time I feel so alive. I feel like a human. For the past years due to my issues I forbid myself going out and enjoy my life. I don't have friends. Didn't have a big family since I was an only child and my parents were also very busy. I love being with Kian. He really makes me so happy. Looking forward for more happy days together. Sunday afternoon we traveled back to the city. Back to reality, I guessed. I temporarily forgot that we were students after all. I lost that in my mind. I thought we were really adults. We are of legal age now but still, we needed to finish our studies for our future.He took off his shoes and his t-shi
"Hmm... how many children do you want?" he suddenly asked.I don't know if it's still early for planning or talking about this kind of thing. I shifted on my seat to face him. Okay. He was serious. I sighed and shrugged."Since I was an only child, wanted to have a big family. I like to have a big and happy family."I grew up lonely. I wasn't like the other kids who stay most often outside their house. Playing with other kids. I stayed mostly at our house. Playing alone. I don't have someone to tell my secrets to. Don't have someone to share my toys with.Kian was also an only child, but we are totally different. He's friendly.People like to be friends with him. He gets along well with others. While I prefer to be alone. I just don't want to be judged.Childhood memories and trauma made me this way. I fear socializing. I don't want people to be nice to me while I'm in front of them, then, later on, will say ill things behind my back. So, why bother to be nice and to please people if
"Beth, are you coming?" my classmate Macy asked.I smiled timidly at her. I know she understands what I mean by it. The hope in her eyes faded. She sighed and nodded her head later on.Our group had the highest score so they were happy and decided to celebrate. There is a KTV bar near here and they plan to there. I don't like to go out so I refused. And besides, I already I am already married. It’s not nice to see me outside and having fun while I have a husband waiting at home.I left the room to go to the canteen. Kian texted me that he was already there. When I arrived at the canteen, their group grabbed my attention. They're having fun.When Kian noticed me he immediately stood up. He put his arm around me and kissed my cheek. His friend's eyes are on us. I raised an eyebrow at them. Kian guided me to sit next to him. He already ordered food for us. Their silence made me confused. Until I had eaten my meal half of it, they cleared their throats simultaneously."Beth." One of his f
I raised an eyebrow at Kian's friend. Again? I looked at Kian."It's okay if you don't want me to go," Kian said.While his friend made puppy eyes at me so that I could let Kian go to his birthday party."Who's birthday it will be next month?" I asked them. Like last time, almost all of them have the same reactions— scratching their napes and having this look on me. Last year, they didn't invite Kian and Kian also refused to go. I sighed."Where are you going?" I asked another question. I remember Raul's birthday last time. They say it will only take place at Raul's house but I found out from Macy that they went to a bar."Just at home. All boys just like Raul's birthday," Kian replied while his eyes are busy roaming around. He can't look straight in my eyes 'cause I'm staring hard at him. Liar! I know where these guys went."Please, allow him. It's our last year in college. When we graduate we might not be able to meet again."I sighed once again. "Okay. Make sure you don't take my h
Kian and I had only been preparing for our wedding for a month. Our parents handle the cost of our wedding. Even though Kian and his parents wanted to handle it all. Our parents insisted that he'll just use his money for the construction of our dream house.While I was away, he started building our dream house. He was really confident that we would not be separated, because he continued anyway.It was designed by an architecture student at the university we were attending. Just a little finishing and we can live already there.After the wedding, we will fix the interior design of the house before we leave the country for our honeymoon. We'll spend a month traveling abroad, before going back to the country. Back to work, business, and to start having a family of our own. It's our mutual decision to have a baby.The big church here in the city is decorated with different colors of fresh flowers. The church is also filled with our friends, acquaintances, relatives, and classmates from el
"Wake up, Moo. You have a walk today, don't you?" Kian's soft voice woke me up.My eyelids are heavy— I still want to sleep. If I hadn’t given up, Kian wouldn’t have stopped me all night. He never tires of claiming me. Then the pain in my body especially in my womanhood, that I felt was torn apart. I adjusted the blanket wrapped around my body as I sat up in bed."I made us breakfast," he said before placing the tray containing the breakfast he had prepared for us on my thigh."Pain is all over my body. I feel so heavy," I complained as I frowned at him.He grinned and scratched his head."I'm asking you if you can still do it, you said yes."I frowned even more. He pinched my nose and laughed."As if you didn't enjoy it. You keep on screaming my name the whole night. You're even asking me to move faster on top of you." He laughed out loud when I hit him with a pillow."I was just joking, Moo. I'm sorry if you're tired. I just missed you so badly." He pinched both my cheeks."Let's ea
The happiness I feel overflows as he reciprocates every caress of his lips on my lips. We stop kissing to catch our breath. His eyes dimmed as he watched me.He wiped the helpless tears from both on my cheeks, before his lips touched mine again. This time it didn't settle there. His lip traveled down to my ear. I took a deep breath at what he did."Kian..." I whispered as he lightly licked the back of my ear down to my neck.He just answer me with a moan. I begin to bite my lower lip when he trailed off his hot and wet tongue on my skin. His kisses and his touch fuel my lustful desire.I gasped when I felt his calloused hand inside my shirt, gently caressing my stomach up to my breast. I moaned and move my hips upward.He stops kissing my neck. He looked at me and chuckled. He gave me a hard kiss before lifting my shirt. I took the initiative to take off my top. My two mounds were unfolded in front of him, waiting for attention from him but he didn't do what I wanted. He is obviously
I raised my eyebrows to meet his gaze, but I was also the first to look away. I looked like a teenager with a red face because I was staring at my crush.I sighed and gasped again. I was really hungry so I didn't care even if Kian was watching me eat. I could feel his warm gaze on me, and I tried not to be affected."You look even prettier, Moo..." He giggled like a teenager. I rolled my eyes."I'm lucky to have you. It's a good thing I tied you to me," he said proudly. I shook my head. I picked up the glass of ice tea and drank it. He was still staring at me. I could see the amusement and love in his eyes.When I put down the glass he grabbed my hand. He lightly touched it and brought it to his lips. He kissed it lightly. I blushed, especially when I heard the gasping of the students at the other table. I could see the thrill on their faces as they looked at us."So sweet...""Hoping all...""He's so handsome!""She's beautiful too. They look good together."We still got attention. K
"I'm sorry! It's my fault because I lied to you. I didn't tell the truth. But I didn't cheat!" He even really followed me. I stopped walking for a moment because of what he said."Believe me, I didn't cheat."Yeah, I know you didn't cheat. But can we still change what happened? Our marriage was annulled now. And one more thing, you already love someone else. I don’t know what this talk is for. Does he want closure? He signed our annulment. That is the closure.I took a deep breath and quickly wiped away my tears. I stepped away from him but again stopped when he spoke again."That's where you're good at. Instead of talking, you always just avoid, run away, and walk away.""What do you want me to do, huh!" I turned to him."Fight for me..." he answered weakly."How? How can I fight you if, in the end, I'm the loser? If you choose her. I just want to raise myself up because I'm exhausted, I poured all my love on you before. I am not an ideal girlfriend, Kian. I'm not as sexy as your exe
It was late at night but the people flocked to the bar even more. I'm also tired of dancing because my skin is almost sticking to the crowd on the dance floor. I invited Macy and the others back to our table.I'll just drink a little and then I'll go home to Macy's condo. I'll stay with her first until I find a unit for myself. Our house here in Manila was rented out so I can't go there either."Let's dance," said the man who had been following me on the dancefloor earlier. He saw that I had turned around and started to step away from the dancefloor. I smiled politely at him."I'm tired," I replied with a smile. He continued to block my way in front of me. He's tempting me but I shooked my head."Let's go!" I am with my friends now. The man still followed us. Macy and Barbara are now annoyed."Next time again," I told the man so he should stop following me.It looks like he's been drinking a lot too so he's being kinda naughty.Now he invites me to their table.We were close to our ta
Years later...I looked around as I pushed the cart containing my luggage. I smiled when I found what I was looking for."Here!" they shouted while still jumping. The happiness they have made you think we hadn't seen each other in years."Welcome back!" they all scream when I approach them.I shrugged and laughed at them one by one."So, you have decided?" Macy asked while looking at my luggage."No final plans yet. Let's go," I said because it was a bit hot out here.They brought a Hi-Ace van. And they also have a driver with them. We decided to eat first before we go to my parent's house. It's their wedding anniversary so I decided to go home. They didn’t know I was going home because I planned to surprise them.The celebration started when we arrived at my parent's house. The weather was good so they set up the party outside the house. There are tables and some chairs. There is also a table for meals placed on the side.Macy got out of the van first. My relatives looked in our direc
KIANAfter we had dinner, we went home one by one. My relatives are going home, so Daddy and I will go with them in their car.I don't know if Beth's cousins were planning to stay overnight at their house so that they could bond or whatever. I want to talk and be with Beth, but I don't want to deprive her of her relatives, especially her cousins who want to celebrate with her.I did not go with my friends. I always get hurt or get in trouble when I go with them. I'm already married and my focus should be on my wife. Something I forgot for a while.I was enticed to join the drink because it was my friend's birthday. And Beth allowed me to, so I took advantage.But the only thing I didn’t really know was that they lied to me and to Beth, when they let me know and said the celebration was just at their house. It was in a bar. Okay, just once. And then I'll go home right before Beth's allotted time.We were having fun as soon as Jewel's group arrived. She was not even invited yet she jo
I didn’t sleep well but I still woke up early. I felt heavy in my head and chest. It still hurts a lot but I can't take it anymore. I've cried a lot and no tears are coming out. Does that mean I accepted what happened?Today is our graduation. I should be happy because all my hard work will be paid off. I will finish with flying colors. Same as Kian. But I couldn't even get excited.I was also thinking of not attending my graduation. I can still get my diploma and my dean's awards. I also have a graduation picture that Mom and Dad immediately hung on the wall. But this day is special, and important to my parents who worked hard for me to attend a prestigious university.I gawked for a few seconds. I remember what happened yesterday. I took a deep breath. I don't want to think about what happened anymore. Because I don't want to be hurt again. Kian and my plans will never happen anymore. I will be the only one to fulfill my dreams.I'm used to being alone. It's not a big deal to me. Ma
