[ANIKA HODGENS POV] I swallowed steadily when Jaz and I were sides by side. It isn't our first time sleeping together, but I feel different now, as if it's our first time. I shifted, turning to her before asking. "Do I know the person you secretly love?" She laughed softly. What's funny about my question? "Hmm, no .." I was damn curious about who's the lucky guy, but I guess it will be a waste now that Jaz is getting to marry someone else. "Let me ask you again. Don't you want to come with me? We can rent a house together to save money. Let's share the expenses.You're smart, Jaz. It will be easy for you to find a job after graduation." "That is not what I'm afraid of, Anika. My parents. I can't lose them.." "Okay. I give up. Our situation may be different. Our parents are unlike. That's why I can't blame you.." Jaz also turned around. Now we are talking face to face.Suddenly the surroundings became quiet, and we just looked at each other. "How are you and Gwen? She likes you
[NARRATOR] FAST FORWARD>>>"Good Morning.." While bugging each other, a husky voice gets their attention. "Hi, Dad! What are you doing here ?!" Anika's jaw dropped, surprised to see her Dad this early. "Won't you introduce me to this beautiful lady?" Smiling, her Dad uttered. Anika swallowed, then turned to Jaz, hesitantly to speak. She's my batchmate in high school and at the same school now in college. Jaz Amanda, Dad." They shook hands, exchanging greetings. "Nice meeting you, Tito." Jaz's eyes blazed, showing her broad smile. The same goes for Mr. Hodgens. Her Dad's politeness to Jaz gave her suspicious thoughts. She never sees her Dad treating others this well-mannered. "Today is Sunday, Anika. Why don't you invite your friend to visit our resort in Batangas?" "Oh! That would be nice, Tito." Jaz is delighted to hear that from Mr. Hodgens, excitedly clapping her hands. "But I need to ask my Dad permission first, Anika." Jaz's stare goes to Anika. "There's no need. I will
[ANIKA HODGENS] After a long drive, we finally arrived as well. As soon as I exited the car, I saw Jaz's happy reaction. I also smiled because of that. Jaz was the first one I brought here because she was the only one Dad allowed. What Dad is showing up today is terrific. But anyway, it's time to enjoy the moment, not to think of anything not worth it. "Come inside?" I invited her, holding her in her hands. Her eyes were still busy touring the whole place. "Is this yours? It's so nice, and hmmm, the air is so refreshing. Thank you, Anika, for bringing me here. You are the best best friend I ever had." Yeah, and forever we will be—Spoking into my mind. "As much as you know .. Come on .. Let's set our things first." We went up to the villa together with our belongings. "Okay, so this will be your room .." I pouted, showing her place."Ha, why?" She questioned, meeting her eyebrows in the middle. I also frowned because I didn't understand her. "Why? Don't you like it? You don't
[NARRATOR] "FUCK!" Anika swore when she woke up naked beside Jaz, no clothes too."What's wrong?" Jaz asked Anika while caressing her forehead, and her eyes were still half open. "What did you do to me?" Words came out of Anika's mouth, meeting her eyebrow and still holding the blanket covering her chest. "What? Why are you asking me that? I did not do anything to you. Maybe you did something to me." Jaz's voice expressed irritatedly. "That's impossible.." Anika blurted out, unbelieving. "So, are you saying that I did this to you?" Jaz asked incredulously. "Do you mean that I raped you? Come on, Anika. Please don't make me feel like I was the culprit. You are not funny. We both drank last night." Jaz scolded, then tried to stand up, pulling the blanket covering their naked bodies. "Hey! Stop it! I'm also naked. Okay.." Anika resists, but Jaz doesn't seem to listen and forcibly continues her actions. She was upset. One by one, Jaz picked up her scattered clothes on the floor, we
[ANIKA HODGENS] Back to school again, in reality, I will spend another 5 hours here, perceiving that I got bored and, worse, I could not find Jaz. We have the same course, but she has a different schedule for other subjects. I still had 10 mins to hang out before my next period, so I first thought of smoking in a secret place. As I was walking, I accidentally caught sight of Jaz talking to a man. My eyes narrowed as the man's palm landed on her shoulder. I gasped and stopped walking. Should I approach them or not? I shook and tried to leave, but something seemed to hold my feet. I couldn't stand it anymore, and my hardcore wanted to address them. "Your boyfriend?!" My eyebrow raised as I asked her. "No!" Jaz responded immediately. I smiled, mocking. She agrees to be touched by this guy even though they don't have a thing. "Can you leave us first?" I turned to the guy, but he just smiled. "Why, who are you??" He questioned back, which made me boil out. Who am I? I got piss
"Class dismissed!" said our teacher. Jaz immediately stood up, and so did I to follow her. "Hey! Are we fighting?!" I asked, holding her hand. "You're the one who started it, Anika!" Jaz insisted, then turned me away. My grip on her loosened. I followed her with a grumpy face. "Why are you like that?!" I shouted again. "What's wrong, Anika?!" She responded, stopped, and faced me. "You! You're the problem. You weren't like that before. You even do not like men teasing or talking to you but now.." "Now what?! Go on, Anika. Go on with what you want to say," she seemed angry. "This argument is nonsense! Fine, do whatever you want. Besides, my opinion does not matter to you anymore. Go ahead."[JAZ AMANDA] Arrrggg!! I frowned. I don't know why Drake's hand on my shoulder is such a big deal to her. Even though I was annoyed, I still couldn't bear it and chased after her. "ANIKA! Hang on!" I shouted while running. She didn't even turn around. "ANIKA, WAIT!" Finally, she stopped.
[JAZ AMANDA] Will I be happy that Anika is in the house and be with me later in my bed? While eating, I felt the need to go to the bathroom. "Excuse me, guys.." I utter, getting off my seat. In my way, "Jaz! My dear!" My head tilted on the call. It is Nanny Cynthia."Oh, Nanny?!" I said, curious about what she was going to say. "Why you don't seem happy?" Nanny Cynthia asks with a broad smile. "What do you mean, Nanny?" I needed clarification on what she wanted to convey. Until I just nodded, perceiving that She was talking about Anika being here. "It's just now, nanny.." I whispered as if it would be forever. It's not! Perhaps in my dream. "But at least you can be with her tonight. Don't you want that?" I just shook my head, disagreeing. Nothing will change in my situation. "You're at the right age. Why don't you test Anika?" I frowned at what Nanny said. "What do you mean, Nanny?" My mind was full of curiosity at her words. Or maybe I realize already but turning a blind eye.
A long whining came out in us as we reached indescribable satisfaction. Both are wearing nothing, chasing our breath. Sweat is all over our naked bodies. "What just happened?" Jaz uttered. We just did it, not drunk. I was still on her top and could not think of a good word. "Are you into me?" She added. I don't know what to say. Do I fancy her? That can't be. Commitment is not my thing. "I don't know, Jaz. You are my friend, and I care for you. Only that, I am sure." I said with hesitation. "How about you? Do you like me?" I return her question. Our eyes are still on each other. Jaz is, beyond doubt, gorgeous. "No! I'm already in love with somebody else.." She replied. I just nodded, leaving on top of her and then lying down. "Yeah, right. I almost forgot.." I managed to say. Why do I feel despondent? Do I expect her to like me? I guess what happened between us was lust, but my mind could not stop thinking. Jaz is straight, but why did she allow me to have her? [JAZ AMANDA] I
