Jonathan Pov...
Before we graduate, say our goodbyes and congratulations, and have our separate ways for our plans in life or where to work. I planned how to get her yes since we only had a few more days to see each other again.
Our graduation is fast approaching and it's a tight leash. I called for a reinforcement to set up Jessica. Fortunately, everything worked as we planned. I was really nervous she would reject me if I compared it to what I got from her. I checked thoroughly to the last minute and she loved surprises! It's a nerve-wracking setup, but worth it now. I'm still not over what happened last night!
I'm beyond happy that she said yes! Our plan with my colleague works. The smiles, giggles, and laughter we had that day are like music in my ears and keep on replaying.
She's been helping me since my freshmen here. My family is rich and if I were to ask I wouldn't want to study hard, but my father needs to have our certificate hanging on our wall and I will manage our business soon. It's not hard to take business management, actually. I'm just been a bit lazy recently, especially in extracurricular activities. I spent my time reading books in the library to pass my exam and quizzes even when I don't sit regularly in my class.
I became a heartthrob for no reason. They say I have a good voice and am handsome, that most of the girls are giggling when they see me, and that's how I met Jessica.
I prepared everything perfectly! Gladly, she said yes without blinking. Our effort isn't wasted. We celebrated at a nearby restaurant. I was supposed to meet her best friend but unfortunately, she had an emergency, leaving early. I told her there were still a lot of days to meet her, not just today.
The next day, I asked her for a romantic date that I personally prepared.
"Where are we going?" She asked as I blindfolded her.
"A little more patience sweetheart." I chuckled, guiding her.
"Okay!" She beamed. Holding my hands tightly, scared she might stumble, but hey, I won't let that happen to her. Her flawless skin will get scratched.
"Just a few more steps, sweetheart, and we are there!" I continued.
When we reached our destination, I slowly removed her blindfold. She blinked many times to adjust her eyesight.
She was stunned, speechless, unable to move, and looking around.
"Oh my god, Jonathan!" She exclaimed in disbelief. I'm happy that she likes it. I was supposed to take her to one of the finest restaurants my family used to eat at, but I decided to do something like this. It's more appropriate, something classic and memorable. It will last forever!
"Did you like it!?" I asked, nervous! What if I'm just assuming she likes it? Sometimes pleasing your woman is difficult. Luckily, those exchange questionnaires we had previously helped me navigate her wants and dislikes. She said she prefers simple yet romantic!
"Are you kidding me? I just don't like it, babe! I love it! Yeeesss!!! I really love it!" She exclaimed jubilantly.
"Oh my god! I didn't know you were romantic like this. You can't court a woman, huh!" She joked, laughing. She bit her lower lip, looking at me full of appreciation.
"Thank you?" She sounded before pecking at my lips. For the first time in my life, I giggled like a teenager. She is not just smart and sexy, but also thoughtful. Damn! I'm already fucking in love with her!
"Everything for you my love!" I chimed, happy and excited.
"Aw! You are so sweet and romantic Jonathan!" She squeaked, pouting before hugging me.
Our first date was a romantic picnic in one of my family's rooftop buildings. I planted artificial trees, flowers, grasses, and others to look like a mini garden surrounding our picnic blanket. I asked our chef to help me prepare some sumptuous food for our mini - picnic day. I'm glad it suited her well and she enjoyed it. We read love stories while lying looking at the cloudy but beautiful sky. The sky is blue with cumulus clouds just like a giant ball of cotton scattered. It's lovely to watch while listening to soft classical music with your beau beside you.
We extended it until nighttime to watch the stars and dance with her before we went home. I left the rooftop with the setup. I hope it won't rain to ruin it.
"Thank you, Jonathan. It's a lovely and unforgettable date!" She chanted before I let her go inside their house.
" We could do it again after our graduation babe! I enjoyed it too. Love you!" She was surprised, looking at me unsure if she heard it right. I chuckled, kissing her lips a little longer.
"I love you, Jessica! I do really love you!" I repeated. She cried, hugging me. I hugged her back to let her feel my sincere feelings.
"Gosh Jonathan! I love you too." She uttered in a ruffled voice. She sniffles when she breaks our hug. I wiped her tears with my fingers.
We can't let go of each other when it's just our first day!
Before our final graduation practice, I invited her to my apartment. We commemorate our relationship and she happily accepted it. I thought it was a bad move since we didn't talk about this. Her alluring body is envied by most of my friends. She has a perfect body that she emphasizes this in her dress choices. After making love with her, we watched random movies while eating takeaway food.
It's not new for me to fuck a woman, but different when it's your woman. You are so gentle and romantic. I did my best to please her! Though it surprised me, I wasn't his first, but it doesn't matter now because I am his boyfriend.
I meet her best friend too, but something is off with her. I feel like I met her already, her presence is soft and calming. She's quiet and simple too, but she dresses accordingly. She is also beautiful and sexy like Jessica, but Jessica has more sex appeal than her. It's weird that I felt odd all of a sudden. Thankfully, my lovely girlfriend is always at my side. Maybe I just got intimidated by her strong presence.
She is one of the batch valedictorians who will give the speech as well. They both took interior design while I took business marketing and management. I don't know anything about her, since I am not interested in her, it's just that she is my girlfriend's bestie.
Jessica Pov... No one will know that I betrayed my best friend and had the man she wished to have. Gertrude actually has everything! She is always an A student, beautiful, and a muse, while I am a dumb friend following her around. I had a perfect beautiful body that catches everyone's eyes, including Jonathan's attention, but my body wasn't enough. He also needed a brain and that's what Gertrude was capable of. While he was going to their company, I helped him finish his tasks regularly with the help of Gertrude and even used Gertrude to write perfect lines to capture his heart. I succeeded in being the beauty and brain in his eyes and the dream of getting laid by him successfully happened when I said yes to him. I will grab the chance since I have been dreaming of that for so long. Bumping with him before wasn't an accident, it was planned in an accidental way. I'm really happy that I want to tell Gertrude everything about how he courted me, but Gertrude is always busy. I walked to
Jonathan Pov....I woke up groaning with a heavy head. I know my parents were not just pissed right now, but damn furious. Who would publicly publish that video after our graduation? Who would plan like that? That video was already removed three years ago, and we paid the person who owned that video! How in the world, there is still a copy of it? Damn it! I cursed, furious.She seduced me that day when I was pissed. That cheer leader was always following me around, mocking me and calling me a gay. I just wanted to prove to her that I wasn't, the fact that I had just lost my virginity because of the bet with one of my classmate's sister who is also part of the cheering group.When I lost my virginity, I started to become wild and crave for more and here comes that cheer leader poking on my nose. She just got what she deserved that day. I totally rammed it wildly. I made sure she wouldn't walk around telling them I was a fucking gay who loves men, but why did I end up in that shame when
Jonathan Pov... It's been four years now and I survived managing the company. Dad was still there for me to guide me in everything. Some complained I was too young to take on the big responsibilities, but dad explained that he trained me well and must start when you are still young. Dad believes that wild ideas can bring us more luck. A lot of things happened and one is about Felicity Tower opening another tower and our investors are investing in them as well. My hatred towards Gertrude spiked. I believe she did that four years ago to steal our investors. They are already loaded, but why take ours? That's the question that I wanted to ask her but I can't ask her. Dad was still skeptical about what I told him and still looking for a chance to meet her. Dad believes something was not right that day. He thinks Gertrude is a pure and innocent woman, but for me, she is a gecko hiding from her beautiful color. I don't know if he knows Gertrude. That's why he was nice to her on our graduat
Jonathan Pov...It's our five years anniversary with Jessica. I want this anniversary to be different from our previous anniversary. I canceled all appointments for two days to spend with her. This year we will go to Korea as she dreamed to meet the kpop idols she was crazy at. She wasn't aware of my plan yet. Our flight will be later tonight, so, I prepared everything for us.I'm still staring at the ticket I bought two weeks ago. Surprising your beautiful woman is the best euphoric feeling I felt. She was the love of my life I always wanted to be with the rest of my life.We are not just going to Korea to spend our Anniversary. I planned to propose to her! I can't wait to see her reaction. This anniversary is well planned a few months ago.I was jubilant and excited to pack my stuff when my phone rang continuously. I stop packing and reach for my phone. I immediately answered as it was dad calling."Dad!" I grasp to answer him."Where are you?" He asked agitated."At my apartment da
Gertrude Pov...After graduation, I planned to come back, but when I started to get used to staying in Italy I choose to live there. My work was quite fun and I'm loving it. I also meet a new friend that was my high school classmate. We worked together and I maintained low-key living there. Some still recognize me as I look like my mom. I don't want people to chase me because of my fame or my wealth. All I want is for people to know me for who I am.I'm glad I didn't feel any homesickness and my brother was there for me though he loves to tease me most of the time. Gideon make sure I am not home alone!I don't want to come back as my heart is still recovering until now. I felt my best friend betrayed me, but I can't do anything as dad needed my help now that mom is sick. No one knew mom was sick as we always keep our personal life private.Maybe we had everything and deserved the limelight but we weren't. We wanted to have a simple and peaceful life as long as we eat three meals a day
Jonathan Pov...I am not comfortable after dinner the other night. It seems Gertrude is not aware of anything either. I know dad and Mr. Cushe is up to something and that bothers me so much!Today is our anniversary with Jessica but dad asks me again to come home early as we need to talk about some important matter that can't wait. Sometimes I feel like dad is doing this on purpose. I had my personal plans but he always calls interrupting my personal affairs. I just hope Jessica won't find faults in me!I sighed, picking up my stuff to leave and meet Jessica before going home. We could set some other day for our date."Hey, baby!""Babe, I'm already here! Where are you?" She asked, maybe worried I wouldn't show up."Just leaving the office. See you in a bit baby. I love you!""See you, babe! Love you too!" She beamed.I arrived at the restaurant quickly as no traffic jam. I already saw him sitting at the corner spot. I walk towards her and surprise her with a kiss on her head."Babe!"
Gertrude Pov..I'm still tired after my meeting and presentation but dad called to come over for some important matters to talk about. When dad called like this I know it was rare and really important."Thank you Ms. Cushe!" The host gestured smiling. I smiled and show my appreciation before leaving the conference room completely.I want my personal space that's why I didn't want to have a driver. I drive my own car though it's a hassle sometimes."Dad, mom I'm home." I bleat entering the house."Mam, they are in the dining room." Our housemaid informed me. I smiled in response."Thank you!" I uttered putting my bag on the side table before walking into the dining room. I kiss their cheeks before sitting."How was your day sweetheart?" Dad asked."Tiring but it's fun dad!" I laughed. Mom smiled. I'm glad she is recovering now."You will get used to it, sweetie. When your mom is finally fine I will go with you to all conferences to guide you." Dad chimed."I love that dad. I miss going
Jonathan Pov...I haven't told anything yet to Jessica. I don't know how to tell her that I am getting married now but it's not her. I want to see who dad chooses me to marry first before telling to Jessica.I woke up lazily and had a headache keep on thinking about what to do and how to talk to that fiancé they found for me. How will I tell her I am proposing to my current girlfriend whom I love? This is a hard situation to ever had. Why must dad do this to me? Why not just accept Jessica for me?I'm sure Jessica will not accept this. Since dad broke out that arrange marriage I never slept at home. I stayed in my apartment as I am not comfortable staring at the lavish gifts they send us. I don't want to touch and even open it. Touching it means I accepted her to be my fiance! My sister didn't say any word as well when I said no! She didn't like Jessica as well.I picked up myself and walk out of my room lazily. I almost fall on my knees startled to see dad sitting on the couch readin
