Nicholas rolled off Diane, sweat trailing all over his naked body. As he slipped into the covers beside Diane, he felt heady. He slipped his hands under Diane’s back and drew her towards himself, letting out a deep sigh as she snuggled closer to him and placed her head on his chest. He slowly some strands of her hair with his fingers.
After a moment of silence, he asked, “I thought you wanted me to leave.”
Diane smacked his bare chest. “Shut up,” she mumbled.
His chest growled with laughter as he tightened his hands around her waist.
Diane closed her eyes, breathing softly. She was almost drifting to sleep but she managed to mumble, “Where is Ashley?”
“Kind of kills the mood, you know, you asking about Ashley,” Nicholas teased.
“Hmm.”
“Go to sleep,” Nicholas sai

She remembered that Jenny went out on a date with Jayden the previous evening. Fixing the puzzles together, she concluded that Jenny had slept in Jayden’s house.

Jenny stared as Malvika kissed Jayden on his lips. She stood still for a while, trying to compose her thoughts. She watched as Malvika held on to Jayden sucking his lips like her life depended on it. She noted that Jayden didn’t do anything. His hands were just helplessly by his side. Malvika finally let go of him and turned to meet Jenny. “Oh, hello there, Jenny. I didn’t hear you coming in.” Jenny smirked. “Oh, I think you did,” she said. She walked towards Jayden and placed her hands on his chest. “Hey,” she said softly. “Oh…Kay,” Jayden quickly pulled away, forcing Jenny to drop her hands. “While this has been fun, I think we should focus on what we came here for,” he said, moving to sit down. Malvika gave Jenny a smug smirk and slowly lowered herself to her seat across Jayden. Jenny chuckled. She moved closer to Malvika, leaned down and whispered, “You kissed him. I had sex with him. Spot the difference.” Then, she straightened hers

Nicholas was seated at the driver seat, waiting for them to be done. “Is that all?” Diane asked again. “Have you packed everything you will be needing?” She asked anxiously.They were traveling for their father's funeral. Diane and Logan had been involved in the planning for a while. It was going to be a small ceremony for only family and a couple of friends.“Are you sure you’ve packed it all?” Diane asked again.“Yeah.

Her cheeks were colored with fake blush to hide the sadness on her face.She slowly raised her hand and touched her reflection in the mirror.

“Hey honey,” Ashley squeaked in her child-like high voice, wrapping her hands around Nicholas’ arm and tiptoeing to kiss him on his cheek. “What’s wrong?” She asked, rubbing his arm.Nicholas sighed in exasperation. “Oh God, Ashley!” He has been trying to wave off her advances since the beginning since the beginning of the day but she had been proving stubborn. “We at someone’s funeral, for Christ sake!”“So?” She asked, shrugging her shoulders indifferently. “It’s not like we knew him anyway.
