The Marriage Contract #39
**JASPER**Just coming back from a stroll, when I witnessed Jessica having the door slammed shut on her face. I was going to ignore it and climb upstairs to my apartment, because I had no business with her anymore,but just then she turns around and sighted me. "Jasper?" She called and sniffed. I then look at her direction, she was in tears, I couldn't just leave her like that so I ended up taking her to my apartment. "Want some coffee?" I offered. "Yes please,"she answers and cleans her tears. "Alright," I clicked my tongue and went into the kitchen, made the coffee and brought it for her. Her eyes already puffy and red from crying. "Thanks," she managed to say and collects the coffee from me. Then I sat next to her, we hadn't really been close like this since her birthday, she told me she was ready to end her relationship with Drex for me. We were childhood friends and then became best friends and the year I told her I was in love with her was when she also told me she was
The Marriage Contract #1
**LIA** #Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down Santa Claus Lane...# The familiar holiday tune played softly in my headphones, transporting me to a festive world despite my current surroundings. I closed my eyes, eagerly anticipating my journey back home. I was on a plane, en route to Singapore to reunite with my mom and sister, marking the beginning of a much-needed break from school. It had been a long time since I had been home, and I was determined to make this Christmas special. As the plane continued its steady course, I couldn't help but think about the vast distance I was traveling and my deep-seated fear of flying, especially over the open sea. This fear had haunted me ever since I lost Brett, and every flight was a test of my resolve. My mom had made it clear that I should only return when I could afford a substantial break - a month at the very least - or not bother coming at all, she feared for me. This year, I had worked hard to meet her expectation
The Marriage Contract #2
**LIA** "You?!" He exclaimed, and to my dismay, it was the same rude guy who had been seated next to me on the plane. Great, just great. "I was going to say the same. What exactly do you want? We bumped into each other before boarding the plane, in the plane, and now what is it that you want from me?" I asked, my patience wearing thin. "What exactly do I want from you? Or what do you want from me? It is you who has been following me," he retorted, his voice rising in irritation. Determined not to let this stranger spoil my mood, I decided to ignore him and hail a taxi. "Hey, taxi!" I called, desperately trying to distance myself from the confrontation. "Hey, I'm still talking over here!" he moved closer to me, continuing his rant. "Take me to Woodlands," I told the taxi driver, blocking out the background noise. I wasn't ready to engage in a heated argument right now. "OK, madam," the taxi driver responded. I settled into the taxi, put my headphones back on, and resumed my mus
The Marriage Contract #3
**LIA** "Who is she?!" The lady, who appeared to be on her way out, asked the cute guy with a frown, directing her question at me. "Jessica, you need to calm down. I met her here. She said she wanted to meet a friend, and I assumed the friend was you," he explained, trying to mediate the situation. "I'm sorry, it's my fault," I confessed, deciding it was time to reveal the truth. "Actually, I got my passport switched with this guy's, and this was the address written there." I handed her the passport. She took the passport from me and opened it, gasping when she saw the picture. "Drex?" "Jesse, I thought I had you to myself today," the guy next to me complained, leaving me confused. "You do. I promise, I didn't know he was going to come with school and everything," Jesse assured him. She then turned to me. "You," she said, addressing me. "Me?" I asked, uncertain of what was happening. "Yes, can you stay here and wait for him, the guy in the passport? He'll be here soon, I know
The Marriage Contract #4
**LIA** "Hey there!" Drex came after me, calling out to get my attention. I quickened my pace, hoping to lose him, but he shouted my name loudly, drawing the attention of passersby. To avoid further commotion, I reluctantly stopped walking. "Hey!" He finally caught up with me. 'What?' I asked, my tone harsh. 'I just wanted to ask what you were doing at my girlfriend's room,' he inquired. Wait, that girl was his girlfriend? I thought she was with that other cute guy. I decided to keep my thoughts to myself. 'Well, I came looking for you, but you weren't there, so she told me to wait for you,' I explained. 'Why were you arrested again?' I remembered he was in a Spiderman suit and almost burst into laughter when I thought about it, but he gave me a knowing look, so I managed to hold it in. 'Okay, I came to Singapore to meet my family but came especially today because today is her birthday. I thought I'd surprise her, but she was asleep when I got to her bedroom window. That was wh
The Marriage Contract #5
**LIA** "But I got here first; you can't do this to me," I whined with mock indignation. Drex chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I get dibs on the bed because... I paid most," he stated, his tone almost teasing, and he held his head high in mock triumph. "No fair," I protested, pretending to pout as I stood up and dramatically stepped out of the bedroom. Drex couldn't help but smile proudly, his eyes dancing with amusement, as if he'd just won a playful contest. I heard the bedroom door close behind me. How could he treat a lady this way? I playfully muttered to myself that I should be the one enjoying the comfort of that bed right now. Resigned to the couch, I checked my phone once more – it was already 8:50 PM. Closing my eyes, I attempted to find solace in sleep, but it remained frustratingly elusive. Checking my phone again, it displayed 9:30 PM. Why couldn't I sleep? My mind seemed to be racing with thoughts, and the minutes dragged on slowly. After battling with my
The Marriage Contract #6
**LIA** "Lia..." Groaning, Drex's kisses left a trail of fire along my neck, and my body responded with moans of pleasure. "Hmm..." I moaned in response to his tantalizing touch. His hands deftly moved to unbutton my shirt, revealing more of my skin. Our lips remained locked in a passionate embrace, and with a firm grip on my waist, he led me toward the bedroom. My shirt and singlet soon joined the pile on the floor, and Drex closed the bedroom door behind us. He pushed me against the wall, my half-naked body exposed to the warmth of his gaze. With swift determination, he moved on to my leggings, sliding them down my legs. I assisted by removing them from my ankles, eager to move forward. Despite being half-naked in front of this attractive stranger, I didn't want to stop the irresistible momentum. As he shed his own T-shirt, I playfully took charge of the situation, pushing him onto the bed with a playful grin. "Ooh, look who's being sassy," he teased, chuckling at my sudden shift
The Marriage Contract #7
**LIA** "What are you doing here?" Drex's voice was tinged with confusion as he peered through the bed covers, quickly realizing the situation. Panic etched across his face as he looked back at me. "I'm pretty sure I slept on the couch! So what am I doing here?! Did you bring me here?" I shouted, wrapping the bed cover around myself, desperately hoping he hadn't seen anything. "Why are we naked?" Both of us questioned in unison. "My gosh! What did we do?" I stood up, clutching the entire bed cover around me, accidentally leaving Drex exposed. My eyes widened involuntarily, not knowing where to look. "Ahh!" he yelped, promptly grabbing his boxers to shield his modesty. I felt my face flush with embarrassment and turned away, averting my gaze. "Well, don't look at me!" he yelled again. "We'll need to talk about what happened, but after we get dressed," I mumbled, my face still burning with embarrassment. "I'm sorry I stared!" I called back to him as I retreated from the room. Wh
