“Oh my gosh! Are they back together?”
“But I thought Jericho doesn’t get back with his exes?”
“Why are they kissing like that?”
I closed my eyes as Jericho’s lips move over mine. Don’t get me wrong. I am not responding but he’s moving his head making everyone think that I am kissing back.
I am not.
He broke off from the kiss and looked at me. “I missed your lips, Ashejan.” He told me garnering mixed reactions from the crowd.
Some are disgusted that Jericho just kissed me. His fan girls are heartbroken because they think that we got together. And some are mad. They’re all probably thinking of the reason why Jericho kissed me.
He kissed me after breaking up with his latest fling.
“I heard you and that Jervic broke up.” He told me but his hand is still on my cheek and the other on my hand. “Is that true?” He asked me.
I gav
Days went by and the speculations on me and Jericho getting back together are just getting fired up each second. Well, how couldn’t it be when Jericho is always waiting for me outside our classroom every day? I, myself, am not believing any of this.“What are you doing here again?” I asked Jericho as he grinned at me at lunch.He blinked at me. “What? I just want to eat with you.” He replied acting all so innocent and it’s making me irritated at most.Why is he thinking trying to start a new beginning with me? He’s probably just playing with me. I mean, it’s Jericho Marquez. He’s known to be one of the leaders of the Playboy Club and I am not falling for him ever again.I rolled my eyes at him. “Well, I don’t want to eat with you.” I was trying to be downright honest with him. I don’t want him to think that this is fine with me.Damn. I have this Dating Queen ali
“What the fuck, Jericho?!” I pushed him away as he tried to kiss me in front of the public again. Jesus! When will this playboy learn? I’m not interested anymore! My goodness!He still managed to smirk even after seeing my disgusted look on my face. “Okay then, Baby. We’ll take it slow.” He beamed and I almost puked at his remark.“What slow, you ass? I don’t want to get back with you! What in the world in that freaking simple sentence can you not understand?” I asked, fuming in anger. I swear one more word from him and I am punching his face right here, right now. I don’t care if his fan girls attack me and kill me spot on.He raised his brow at me and cocked his head to the side. “What’s the problem, Ashejan? Why are you so mad?” He exasperated. “You don’t shout at people like this even though they irritate you so much.” He pointed out and I sighed heavily.I
The next days were worse because I couldn’t stop my heart from getting suffocated when I see Serena and Knight together. And they were always together. Before classes begin, at break times, at lunch, in dismissal.I have proved to myself that I am indeed attracted to Knighton Javier. But he doesn’t even talk to me anymore. I wonder what the real problem is. Why doesn’t he talk to me? I want him to talk to me. He should at least tell me why is not talking to me.I’m getting really paranoid. Have I done something wrong? Did I look like a big slut to him because he saw me jump from one guy to another?Hell, I’m going insane. Especially now that I can see him laughing with Serena in the lockers. God! Even in the lockers, he’s still with Serena! Damn this!An uneasy feeling grew inside me. I just need him to talk to me. Or maybe I should talk to him. I just don’t know when the right time is. Or is there even a right ti
ASHANTI“I can’t take it anymore,” I told Kristoff as we were in the labor room. This morning, I had several Braxton-Hicks that made Kristoff panic. The contractions had been intensified from then up to now.“Baby, just hold on a little longer.” I don’t know who Kristoff is telling that—me or the baby.He gripped onto my hand as before planting a kiss on my sweaty forehead.I’ve known how painful it is to give birth but the ones I have read never really made me feel this way. This is—by far—the worst pain in my life. I have never even imagined feeling this excruciating pain.Dr. Johnson, my OB, with a nurse came towards us. The nurse explained that the doctor will be checking my cervical dilatation.“You’re fully dilated now, Mrs. Marx. You can push now.” Dr. Johnson told me and encouraged me to bear down.Kristoff was holdi
I can’t even imagine how weird I am looking at Knight right now. He likes me. He just told me he likes me and my heart is beating crazy. He’s too close for Christ’s sake!I chuckled awkwardly. “You’re kidding.” I told him and he narrowed his eyes on me. I cleared my throat. “I mean, yeah, sure. You like me as a friend.” I re-organized my sentence because I think he felt a bit burdened.“Of course,” he said as he looked away.Oh, Knight. I like you, too. But more than how you like me. I like you to be mine. I like you to date me. More than just a friend. It will be a shock if I told you about it, right now, so I’d rather not.I shut my eyes to regain my cool. Damn it, Ashejan! Get your shit together or else!“Serena…” My voice trailed because he stiffened. “…does she like you back?” I asked him.Damn it. He’s too innocent and naï
My heart couldn’t stop beating the whole day. Knight asked me out for a dinner before we watch the musical. What have I done in my past life to deserve this right now?Although I’m actually doubting about this, I can’t help but feel excited that I would be alone with him this Saturday night. Hell! I don’t know if I can still sleep after this.I have to sleep though. I can’t be sleepy when I’m with him. He might get the wrong notion.“You are going out with him on Saturday.” Genina commented when we were eating at the cafeteria at lunch. She’s looking at me with questioning eyes. She might be really curious of what I’ve done to make Knight ask me to come with him.Well, I don’t know.Honestly, I don’t know what’s going on in his mind.“You sure you didn’t put love potion on his drink or something?” She asked me and I glared at her.“I
“What?” I asked as I heard Knight’s words.He chuckled. “Why? Don’t you want me to date you?” He asked me.Holy crap! This question is even harder than the hardest Chemical equation to be balanced. Why is he asking me this right now? And where is he coming from? What happened to the cutie Knight?He must have seen my shocked expression because he pouted. “I’m just kidding, Ashejan.” He told me to my dismay. Why would you take your words back, stupid?! You said you’d freaking date me!“I know I can’t compare to all the boys around you.” He spoke and I was stunned. Did he think he’s inferior from these boys?Ugh! Damn it! Why do they have to come at me at this time? They left me and broke up with me so they should just stay away from me. Not like this.“They can’t compare to you, Knight.” I told him and he looked at me. I smiled at him. &ldquo
Knight is still holding my hand when we were already inside the cab, on our way to the temple. We’re seated at the backseat and I can see the driver look at us from the rearview mirror.I can’t help but blush and look away as I feel his fingers laced with mine.I wanted to pull my hand back because my heart couldn’t handle all the feels but I’m scared that this would be the last time that he’ll hold my hand like this. I don’t want to let go yet. What I’d give to die holding his hands.“Uhm…” I wanted to speak because the ride is too quiet and I’m getting irked up.Knight looked at me. I was expecting him to let go of my hand but he didn’t. He even held it tighter. Oh, Knighton. Don’t you know how much my feels for you are?“Did Serena and Phytos go out today, too?” I asked him.He narrowed his eyes on me. “Honestly, I don’t know.” He
