Jeyah's POVI went home with mixed emotions. I still couldn't believe I'm now part of Darren's group. I shook my head and sighed deeply as I flipped the doorknob of the entry door."Hi, sweetie, I'm glad you're here. But you look so upset. Is there anything wrong?", my brother Andre asked curiously. He was at the sala, sitting in a figure four-leg-clamp while leaning his back on the sofa bed. I approached him and gave him a hug. I put my things down and sat beside him."Are you okay, sweetie? What's that serious face?", he asked again.I laid my head on his shoulder and told him, it's just nothing. But my brother knows me very well, so even if I say, I'm fine, he would never be convinced because he really knows when I'm okay and when I'm not."C'mon, tell me. What happened?"I lowered my head because I am still hesitant to tell him what happened in school. He lifted my chin and told me to look at him. My brother is always like that. He would never stop if he wants to know something."
Darren's POVI went home quite not feeling well. I really felt bad about what happened the whole day. It all started with my dad's call, then Bridgette's stupid kiss, and Jeyah's acceptance as a new member of our group. Tssk...As soon as I went inside my room, I slumped down on the soft mattress and focused my eyes on the ceiling. I heaved a deep sigh and stood up to take a hot shower for my muscles to be relaxed and for me to get enough sleep. I closed my eyes as I feel the warm water dripping into my skin. But damn! Can't take her out of my mind. No! the other side of my brain scoffed. Jeyah is already a member of our group, so I need to suppress this feeling I have for her. I pressed my hands against the wall as her vision kept on lingering in my mind. Her pink lips, smooth and rosy cheeks, and those dark expressive eyes made me lost for quite some time. Her innocent and cute smile is indeed captivating that I will never get tired of staring at it. I wanted to feel her petite and
Darren's POVAfter our last class in the afternoon, Angela, Eduard, and I went to the school oval as our agreed meeting place. Other group members were already there sitting on the benches, laughing while throwing jokes and funny stories. We were like this ever since, and we treat each other as sisters and brothers. As we came towards them, my eyes immediately looked for Jeyah but she was not there yet."Hey bro, bubs!", I greeted them all and we gave each other an exuberant high five."Jeyah and Clarisse are not yet around bro. But I guess, they're on their way now", Andrew spoke.I just nodded and sat beside them. But suddenly, Bridgette appeared together with her group of friends."Hi everyone, hello my love!", she said and was about to hug me, but I quickly stood up and dodged away. I was just trying to control myself because I don't want to ruin my mood. No! not this time."Are you guys wanna join us for a night out?", Bridgette asked, showing her flirtatious smile. Her other f
Jeyah's POVI did not know that I had fallen asleep inside Darren's car when he was driving me home. I was only listening to some of the songs played on the stereo when my eyes became droopy. The last song that I heard before I fell asleep was "What About Love" by Lemar. I remembered I asked him if he likes that song. He replied it was his favorite and he would be happy if anyone could sing it for him. After that, I did not know what happened next.I just came back to my senses when I heard a sweet voice, whispering in my ear.I frowned and when I opened my eyes, Ryle's face was caught before my sight."Ryle!", I exclaimed as I stared at him."Hey, are you okay Jeyah?", Darren asked me, with his voice a little confused.I rubbed my eyes and looked intently at him. It was Darren. I realized we were already at the gate of our house."I'm sorry for waking you up, Jeyah. I could have just carried you. But I am just worried what could be your brother's impression if he would see me carry
Jeyah's POVI suddenly woke up when my brother was softly knocking on the door. I stood up and stretched my arms. I flipped the doorknob and opened it."Happy Valentine's Day, sweetie", my brother hugged me as he handed to me two bouquets of flowers. One bouquet of pink roses and another bouquet of red roses.He stepped inside my room and sat on my bed. I sat beside him while holding the flowers."Thank you boo. Happy Valentines'!' I responded."Uhm, why there are two bouquets boo? I know these pink roses are coming from you, but who sent the red roses?", I asked curiously, smelling the sweet fragrance of the flowers."Hmm... someone delivered this a while ago. Why don't you read the card attached to it, so you will know, your secret admirer?", Andre spoke with a teasing smile on his lips. I'm sure he knew already who could be the sender.Yeah, I forgot the flower card. I opened it and there it reads,"Happy Valentine's baebubs. See you around."I smiled after reading the message, kno
Jeyah's POVDarren's eyes were glued at me as I went down the stairs. He stood up and reached his hand for me."You look perfectly beautiful baebubs", Darren complimented."Thank you, I responded, averting my gaze from him.I was a little shy because my brother was also there in the sala, secretly observing us with a teasing smile on his lips. I glared at him and gave him a warning gesture. Gladly, he got what I meant to say and he stopped teasing me around."Please take care of my sister, bro", Andre said in a pleading tone of voice."Yes bro, I will", Darren responded with a gentle smile."Bye boo!", I uttered and hugged my brother."Bye sweetie. Enjoy the party. Take care", Andre replied and kissed my cheek."Enjoy also the party later, boo! Take care", I responded. Then, Darren and I left the house after I said goodbye to nanny.I couldn't help but feel uneasy while I was sitting beside him. He was so handsome in his navy blue long sleeve that was folded up to his elbow. It was ha
Darren's POVI did not know what came to my mind when I decided to be the escort of Jeyah at the Valentine's Party held in the UP campus. I never had done like this before. I mean, it's always the ladies who asked me to be their escort. It sounds conceited, but that's true. It's because I never experienced admiring someone in my entire life. It's always me who is given much attention and it's always me who is adored and loved. That was all I ever wanted from the beginning.But since I met Jeyah, everything turned the other way around. I'm the one who is giving her much attention. I drove her home, I called her, and I even gave her a bouquet of flowers through a delivery. And most of all, I offered to be her escort at this Valentine's Party. I find all of these very unusual.And the fact that she is with me now, gives me an overwhelming emotion.It's my first time feeling this way. Is this what they called 'love'?Until the sweet music echoed on the dance floor. I offered my hand to he
Jeyah's POVAs soon as I entered my room I slumped down on the soft mattress, covering my face with a pillow, and burst into tears. I thought that joining the party would make my day, but I was totally wrong. It was gone wrong more than I ever expected to happen.Why did Darren kiss me, yet he kissed another woman? What was that? A joke?I don't have any right to feel this way. Darren and I are just friends. But I am really hurt and I couldn't do anything about it.Suddenly, I heard steps coming into my room and I know it was my brother Andre."Sweetie, are you still awake? he spoke and flipped the doorknob.I hurriedly wiped my tears away because I'm sure my brother will be worried of me if he sees I'm crying. I stood up and leaned my back on the headboard."Uhm, yes boo", I replied with a casual tone.My brother went closer and sat on my bed."How's the party sweetie? I saw you coming inside", my brother asked while intently looking at me."It's okay boo", I responded trying to hide
