The next day, Jada woke up past lunchtime. It was a Sunday. When she stepped out of her room, Jada saw their friends in the living room. Everyone’s there except for Lyken.“Hi, Ja,” Kobe greeted. “Lyken had to go with his parents to visit his grandparents. But I’m meeting him tonight. We’re talking to a client about a new project. But don’t worry, it won’t get in the way of your wedding.”Jada nodded at him as she sat on the couch. Steve sat next to Jada, reaching for her hand and giving it a light squeeze. “What happened to you guys?” he asked.She lets out a sigh and starts telling them everything. They were all just listening, sighing from time to time.“You just have to talk calmly,” Kobe suggested. Jada nodded at him, and he smiled. “There’s nothing the two of you can’t fix. Compared to what you went through before, this is nothing.”“Exactly! Just stay calm when you talk, both of you! The last time you did, you were at each other’s throats. Of course, nothing good will come out
Jada was startled when she heard Honey yelling. She wanted to stop her, but she was in full warrior mode, so she didn’t bother.“Hey! Hey, you! Stand up, bitch!” Honey called off the woman as she pulled her arm.The girl sat up, rubbed her eyes, and tried to recognize who was the woman that was harassing her. “Who are you?” she even asked.The blonde girl was about to speak again, but Honey’s palm flew across her face. “You don’t have to know! What you need to do now is to get out of that bed,” Honey continued.When the woman didn’t move, Honey grabbed her by the hair and dragged her out of bed. The blanket covering her fell to the floor, and Jada was relieved when she saw that she was still wearing her bra and pants.“What the fuck is wrong with you?” She screamed as she struggled to stand up. “How dare you hurt me?”Honey slapped her again. She was trying to help the girl get her senses back. The girl with blonde hair touched her face and screamed when she saw bloodstain on her fin
It’s been two weeks since Lyken proposed, and now, they’re getting married. Yes, today is that day, and Jada could say she’s more than excited.Everyone thought it would take them a few months to walk down the aisle, but when Lyken said it was in two weeks, Jada agreed. There’s no reason not to.‘He loves me, and I feel the same for him. Why should we drag? In all honesty, I've never felt this happy before. Not since Lyken became my boyfriend.’When Jada and Lyken broke up, she thought they couldn’t fix things between them. But thanks to the power of forgiveness, they are where they are now.Just as Demi Moore said, ‘The things people do to each other, they remember. If they stay together, it's not because they forget. It's because they forgive.’And Jada agrees with her. Whether she likes it or not, what happened between Lyken and her will be forever part of their history. That’s something they can’t just erase.However, instead of seeing it as an obstacle, they should see it as a le
Lyken’s POV“Baby, what do you want for breakfast?” I asked when I noticed that she was already awake.We’ve already moved to our new house. I had this built two years ago, then two weeks before the wedding, I prepared it for us to move in right after the wedding.“Fried rice and salted egg,” she said as she rolled to her stomach.“Ok then, I’ll ask Lucy to prepare it,” then I stood up, kissed her forehead, and hugged her.“Ew! You smell bad!” she exclaimed as she pushed me away.I creased my forehead, and she looked disgusted. “I… I smell bad?” I asked in disbelief, and she nodded. “Baby, I just took a bath! I’m even wearing the perfume you gifted me!”“Ly, you stink! Go and bathe again!”I scratch the back of my head. I felt embarrassed, but I couldn’t stop myself from chuckling. ‘Is this because of her pregnancy?’To not ruin her mood, I quickly head to the bathroom to wash off the smell of perfume. That’s probably it.Jada waited for me, and when I returned, we went downstairs tog
"Byotchhhhhhhhhh!!!"Jada had just stepped out of the airport and she was welcomed by an ear-piercing shriek. As usual, her friends were late again.“Shut up!” she snapped. “I’ve been waiting inside for thirty minutes already. Why are you guys late again? Did you just spit or swallow?” she asked, pretending to be irritated at the familiar faces that came to pick her up.The first one to come out of the van was Bambi. He was Jada’s manager, confidante, gay best friend, mother, father, older sister, and older brother. All rolled into one."Jada, don’t be like that! You know I’m dried out and no one wants to water me because I’m penniless!” he complained before rolling his eyes and pouting his lips with hot pink lipstick.Following him out of the van is Jada’s real best friend, Honreta Perez, also known as Honey. Aside from being her best friend, she’s like her sister from another mother as well.Driving the van was Edward, Honey’s older brother, and Jada’s number one fan. He would alwa
Jada and Honey met at the university they both attended. Since wearing a uniform is not a requirement at Saint Mary’s University, they can dress up however they want.Jada, don’t doll up though, not like Honey. Most of the time, she dons simple clothes like fitted jeans, sneakers, and tees.Honey, on the other hand, prepares her outfit the night before. She always looks good, she has to.The same goes for the pinks. And that’s because they are targeting a couple of hotties on the campus.Jada’s friends are all fun to be with. During their break time, they will hang out under the biggest mango tree on campus, the one closest to the gym.Bambi and Ada treated that spot as their own, because why not? Hanging out there lets them see the sweaty abs of the university’s gorgeous varsities, daily.Who won’t drool?!Well, it’s not like Jada would drool over hot bodies. She’s used to seeing those back in the States. High schoolers there are comparable to college students here, in terms of their
“So! We’ll just drop by your place later,” Bambi told both ladies, as they waved at them frantically while walking backward. “Ta-ta!” Honey and Jada nodded at him, then they both ran towards the stairs. Both Bambi and Ada were excited about tonight’s event.They were in a hurry to leave because they still had to fetch their clothes from their apartment. After that, they’ll go straight to Jada’s condo.“Let’s go?” Honey asked. She was so excited that she couldn’t even get rid of the smile on her face.Even if they still have two more subjects to attend, she can’t help but imagine what it will be like later. She keeps talking about it in class.Good thing there’s not much going on in the last two subjects so they won’t miss anything. Even if they’re busy chatting.After the last subject, Honey and Jada immediately left the classroom. They live in the same building. Honey was the first one to have a unit there, but she moved to the one next to Jada when she moved.The Cuevas fami
"Girl!” Honey exclaimed from the other end of the line. “We’re stopping at Bistro for dinner,” she informed Jada.They reached the location in less than an hour, as there was no traffic. The area looked lively even though it was Wednesday, a weekday.It was Jada’s first time in Toledo and she was amazed at how busy the area was. Aside from the bars and clubs around, there are street parties as well.When her cousin, Faith, left for the States after her OJT, they went out too. But they would only go to the bar that is closest to their house.“Sure! I’ll just follow you guys,” Jada responded before ending the call. She saw Lyken and Steve’s car stop by a restaurant and she did the same.After parking, she walked over to Honey, “I’ll just go to the CR,” Jada whispered, and went ahead when she nodded.When she stepped out of the comfort room, Jada immediately looked for the group. She spotted them easily after seeing Ada crazily waving at her.They were seated in the back part of the rest
