JASONEveryone went to bed after the party, and I was left alone with my thoughts on the porch. I drank the remaining whiskey and placed the glass on the side table. I knew that I wouldn’t be able to keep going or remain focused after spending so many weeks without getting any pussy. I had to make a decision—going to the club to find someone to pin against the bed, or just go and take Alicia’s virginity, something that I never wanted. I knew that Alicia was in my room. That’s where I told my mom to place her, making her feel like there was still something happening between me and Alicia. I got up and headed to my room, I had already made up my mind. Why go look for someone else in the club when I had Alicia in my bedroom?I walked down the dark hallway and made a stop on my bedroom door. I took a deep breath and opened the door. The moment our eyes met; I knew there was no turning back. I knew that there was nothing that would stop me from taking her virginity. I knew that I had pr

ALICIA When I got inside the private jet, I was filled with so much joy. Jason sat across from me on his private jet, and his focus was on the newspaper that was in front of him. I couldn’t wait to see Jason’s parents. Things were still tense between Jason and I, but I decided to put my anger aside so that we could all celebrate his mother’s birthday. Our trip was shorter than I had expected—in about an hour, we landed in Medellín. There was a car that was waiting for us when we landed. After loading our luggage in the car, some guy handed over the car keys to Jason. Jason opened the door for me and jogged around the car to get inside and started the engine. The silence that was on the private jet had followed us to the car. For a moment, I wished Lisa was with us to keep me some company, but she had already traveled two days ahead of us. Medellín was more astonishing than Bogotá—the valleys, mountains, and flowers. It was so beautiful. “This is so beautiful” I couldn’t control my

JASON I opened the slightly opened double door, and the first thing that I saw was Alicia. She was showing me her back. At first, I thought she was just admiring the view of the city, but I could see that whatever she was focusing on was in her hands. “Alicia.” She didn’t respond or even turn to look at me. She knew that I was behind her but she didn’t give a fuck, her attention was stolen by whatever that was in her hands. I walked to her side to see what she had on her hands and I immediately understood why she was so silent. When I shifted my gaze to her face, she was crying and looked so mad. “What’s this, Jason?.” She laid her cold gaze on me. “I should be asking you.” She was the one who had all the answers. “Where did you get these? I’m so confused.” Seeing those pictures made me so mad. “Confused about what? you are in the pictures with your lover. Why are you confused.” She tossed the pictures on the table, revealing the image that I had struggled to erase fo

ALICIA He placed a plate of bacon and eggs in front of me and placed the other one right next to me. He then sat next to me, making it hard for me to control the dirty thoughts that were running all over my head. “Where is Lisa?” I asked. “She has a meeting. She left early this morning.” The bacon was slightly burnt, but it was eatable. I knew that Jason was a terrible cooker, but it made me so happy that he had prepared breakfast for us. I finished my food and washed the few dishes that were on the sink and went to the balcony, right next to the living area to see the view that I had fallen in love with. Jason joined me, he gave me a glass of orange juice, and sat on the other side of the two-seater outdoor couch. “Lisa will be back soon to take you shopping. You have to get ready.” When I got back from the mall, I was welcomed by silence. Jason wasn’t around, and Lisa had gone back to her Condo to get ready for the date that she had in the evening. The windows allowed th

ALICIA The heavy footsteps against the hardwood floor told me that Jason was coming. He made his way to me. “Come, let me show you your room.” I followed him to a room that was down the hallway. The breathtaking view of the city was the highlight of the room. The room had an attached bathroom and a balcony. On the bed, there was Jason’s white T-shirt. “I don’t think you will be comfortable to sleep in that dress, wear this.” He took the shirt and gave it to me. I went to the bathroom to remove my makeup and change into his shirt. The cologne on the shirt turned me on. When I got back to the room from the bathroom, Jason had already left. It was already midnight but I couldn’t go to sleep. I was still sad about how Jason handled the whole situation. He was an asshole and was very insensitive. I sat on the balcony that allowed me to see the beautiful city of Bogotá. I sat on the armchair and admired the city. About two minutes later, someone walked to my room. His colo

ALICIA I didn’t want to go back to the party, I was feeling so down. Lisa was a loveable person and was Jason’s type. She was rich, beautiful, and intelligent. I finally understood why Jason was so over me—he was in love with Lisa. I knew that I had to accept and move on with my life. Maybe Jason was always in love with Lisa. Maybe she was the reason why he ghosted me the moment him and his family moved from New York City to Colombia. Jason and I grew together. He was my neighbor when we were still kids. We started dating when I was 16. His mom was originally from Colombia, and his family decided to relocate to Colombia when his dad got a job offer that he couldn’t turn down. It was devastating for me because I really loved Jason and didn’t want him to move but he ensured me that he would visit me at least every two months—something that never happened, he just ghosted me when he got to Colombia. I took off the high heels that I was wearing and rested the back of my head on the
