A Rhapsody for the Playboy Chapter Sixty-Two
Chapter 62 – Jayler This Monday marks the first day that I’m all paid of the all-around free work that the school head punished me for. The past month was pretty difficult for me and it was undoubtedly a hell of an exhausting month both physically, mentally and emotionally. It has taken a toll on me but I’m all good now. I’m more than glad that all of those negative things, the tiring confusion, the exhausting physical work, the constant overthinking, they all have ended simultaneously. I managed to iron the rift that I have with Lance and it translated pretty incredible as much as I’ve expected things to go well. I just had a long moment of reflection last night after Lance and I had a long phone call. It wasn’t some sort of overthinking but I just had a lot of realization when I played all of the scenario inside my head in a supercut style. I thought my life was all fun and well balanced with Jasper and Kenneth and the constant sneaking out just to party and drink and let loose. An

Chapter 63 – Jayler “What?” Pretending as if I didn’t hear what my dad had uttered, I continued shoving waffles into my mouth. I’m already shaking deep inside and I don’t want to show him that I’m extremely guilty of what he’s accusing me of. I don’t even know who told him that I was out last Saturday night. I’m pretty confident that my sister didn’t rat me out and Lala, she might be the culprit. However, I don’t think she wants to be that person and she’s been trying to stay out of the family drama so I don’t believe she’s the one who told my dad about it. “A little birdy told me that you were out last Saturday night.” Dad went on and I could tell he was trying to keep his voice controlled to a much lower level as compared to his usual shouting tone. It’s the first time that he wasn’t shouting but I could clearly discern the anger gritting in his tone. I’m sure he’s only talking like this because he doesn’t want the tension with my mom to erupt all of a sudden. I kept my mouth shut

Chapter 64 – Jayler “Don’t you think dad’s having an affair?” Chewing a piece of nugget dipped in sriracha sauce, I tried reopening the floor of conversation between me and my sister. We are now both sitting at the centermost table of the whole floor and I don’t have any idea why Joyce chose this table when there are a lot of empty tables. She ordered a BigMac meal and pancake while I ordered nuggets and fries. “He might be.” She replied taking her time to put some honey on the pancake while I stared at what she was doing. “With who?” I followed up. “I don’t know, his secretary maybe?” Joyce shrugged. “Maybe.” “You don’t think he’s working every weekends, do you?” Joyce spat back and it just came into me that he might actually spending his time with someone else every weekend. I know he’s a very busy man but having business trips every fucking weekend sounds truly sketchy. “Now that you mentioned that, who could this other woman be?” “I have no fucking idea.” Joyce began stuff

Chapter 65 – Lance Yhannie and I had a surprising catching up and quite shockingly, I didn’t know that the restaurant where we met each other was owned by none other than one of our groom-to-be, Valentine Grande. That’s probably the reason why the name of the restaurant sounded very much familiar to my ears when I first heard it. It felt like I’ve heard it from somewhere else before even I’m very much aware of the fact that I have never been to that place. It turned out that it’s Valentine’s restaurant that’s why it’s called the Grande restaurant. It’s pretty obvious but to be fair, I have been disconnected with them, with everyone from my high school in several years. I don’t even know anyone way back in high school because I tried to block everyone from that era. I’m so bitter that I distanced myself away from them and tried not to reconnect with anyone from that point in time. I have seen a few of them visit the bar every once and a while but I never go out my way just to meet them

Chapter 66 – Lance I kind of have an idea of the love and hate relationship that Dominic and Valentine had but it was just an idea and I don’t know what exactly happened throughout their life. I have to be honest, while I have already moved on from the pain and everything, I still kind of want to hear what exactly happened. I want to know the full story and Yhannie was the best person to tell that story right now. “Remember that fiasco at our prom?” Yhannie asked making me recall that horrible event at our high school prom. That was so fucked up and who would ever forget that dramatic moment onstage? That was something that no one would ever see again in their life and it’s only worth remembering. It made our prom somewhat spicy and yet fucked up at the very same time. At that time, I was still harboring some infatuation and some confused attraction towards Dominic and even though I know I’m only a side character to their story at that debacle, I was still hurt and shattered by what

Chapter 67 – Jayler I am not really expecting for something grand when Lance asked me out today. In fact, I wasn’t expecting him to ask me out at all. I thought he’s busy with his part time job at the café and while he already told me today’s his free day, I still know he has an upcoming gig later tonight. Needless to say, I still want to see him again and I have a higher expectation that seeing him would surely make my day better. I’m sure it would. I just started my day with my parents fighting right in front of me and my sister, almost disrespecting everything, the food, the things that they preach. And while I didn’t necessarily have a bad day at school, it was plainly the same old boring school stuff and it was just the usual routine and nothing exciting that would take my mind off to somewhere else happened. I still feel sad and horrible. I don’t even want to go home because I’m unsure of what to expect. Are mom and dad still fighting? Are they still mad at each other for what

Chapter 68 - Jayler I don’t know how to describe the wonderful feeling that I’m feeling in words as the movie went on. All I know was my heart was beating for Lance and the intimacy that we have felt subtle and electric. Lance doesn’t seem to have the intention of removing my hand from holding his and he’s even holding my hand a bit tighter. I keep on stealing glances from him every once and a while and there are some other points throughout the movie that we are catching each other stealing those little glances. We just awarded each other with a small and shy smile and then go back to watching the movie as if nothing happened. With one of our hands chained to each other, we had to use both of our free hand just to pick some popcorn and grab our soda. Throughout the film nothing eventful happened much to my utter disappointment. Although I was feeling like I wanted to actually pull Lance’s face and just kiss him hard that he’s going to give in to the seduction but I didn’t try to do

Chapter 69 – Lance I wasn’t expecting the rest of the coming days for me to have a somewhat hectic schedule, not that I manifested it but I became busy. My usual routine before was just to go to my part time job at Fidelitea and serve some teas and coffees, and then after that I group up with my bandmates for our usual nightly gig. That was how my life went for the past five years and it’s basically stagnant ever since and it was never the progressive type of adult life. Everyone who thought I was going to be the most likely to succeed right after high school and college were all dead-ass wrong with that and I guess that’s one of the main reasons why I didn’t want to meet a lot of people from my past. The reality is that I don’t really have any plans on making any efforts to better my life and that was just it. Or at least that’s just how I was thinking, the mind set was very negative and nonprogressive then I suddenly remembered most of the conversations that I had with Yhannie. I kn
