[NARRATOR] "Are we having the same rhythm now?" Jaz gasped at the query. Their eyes fixed after the quick moment they shared. "Still figuring it out, Anika." Jaz shrugs, tilting her head slightly. "Sounds great! We have plenty of time for that, Jaz. So are you going to hit the sack with me??" The excitement in Anika's voice is palpable. "It's that an invite?" Jaz gazes innocently at Anika. "I suppose you can't turn it down," Anika said, giving Jaz a fleeting quizzical look. For a moment, Jaz hesitates, but her body says differently. Without confirmation, Anika dragged Jaz inside her room. Jaz's cheeks heat at the realization. As they were settled in, Anika continued what she had endured for a long time. Jaz's back touches the door, retaliating against every attack from Anika. [JAZ AMANDA] I ate everything I said and fell into Anika's spell again. Suddenly she pauses, hanging me while I'm chasing my breath, and fixes me with her gray stare. "You seem distracted, baby," Anika ca
[JAZ AMANDA] When I opened my eyes, Anika was no longer by my side. I wandered around, and the moments we shared last night were restored. Something incredible happened between us, this time with a label, and everything was precise, with no trace of doubt. I just smiled at the thought of that. I love Anika very much, and it's like a dream come true. She loves me too. "Baby. Good morning.." Anika kissed me on the forehead as she approached me on the bed. I'm still naked from the last night, and my hair was messed up. "Good morning.." I answered shyly. But why am I ashamed? It wasn't the first time we had sex. "Are you okay? Let's go downstairs. Have breakfast? We're going somewhere.." I'm such a wasted ice cream, melting in her gaze. I'm in the middle of both her arms. "Where?" I asked, smiling, failing to hide how happy my heart was. "You will know.." "But we have school, don't we??" My eyebrow curled. "Hmmm, absent.." Anika replied with a smirk. I quickly dodged just as she
"Sure, baby.. If that makes you feel better." "Thank you, Anika.." It was late when Anika headed Jaz to her house. "Marvelous! Seeing you two together.." Gael opens the door for them. "Hi, Tito.." Anika was paying respect. "Call me, Dad.." "Yeah, I forgot... Dad.." Anika said it right, and Gael smiled. "Uhm, Dad, I'll go first. I just brought home Jaz.." "Don't you want to be with us for dinner?" "We're still full, Dad, but my baby can stay in my room.." Jaz was interjecting. Gael raised his eyebrow, then grinned, tilting his head to let them enter. "Are you not yet tired?" Anika asked when they were already in the room. "Tired being with you?? No.." Jaz is canorous, fitting herself into Anika. "Don't you want to spend another night with me?" Jaz mutter to her earlobe. "I'd love to.." Anika countered the act, hauling Jaz in her hip. Slowly their lips met. A sudden ring stops their moment. "Hello.." "Anika.." Gillian uttered, sobbing in the line. "What happened? Why are
THE FOLLOWING DAY>>> Jaz started practicing with the cheerleading squad for the upcoming basketball game. "Jaz!" Drake shouted as he ran towards Jaz. "Hey! Drake, what's up?" Jaz faced Drake with enthusiasm on her face. "Nice outfit, huh," Drake utter, looking at Jaz full-length. They both smile. "Alright, break a leg. I have to go. Our practice too will about to start." Drake just waved and left. While Jaz was busy, her eyes constantly expected the chance that Anika would pass by. Jaz beeped Anika up last night about her practice, but Anika didn't reply. After almost three hours, Jaz went to her next subject. In contrast, Anika was in the library with Gwen and Mimi. "Are you really going to join?" Gwen asked. "Why not?" Mimi's interjecting. "We were together in elementary for years, but I didn't know that you were interested in writing news," Gwen stated in amazement. "You don't know a lot about me, Gwen.." Anika retaliates. "So guys, are we going to eat now? I'
[JAZ AMANDA] After delivering all thoughts inside me, I turned my back on her. I was about to exit, but she held my hand, stopping me. "Hang on, baby. I'm sorry, okay. You are right, and I am wrong. I should be talking to you and not just listening to others' shit.You are my girlfriend. Mostly my Fiancee." I can sense her sincerity, but that's not enough. "For this relationship to work out, we need communication, trust, and commitment, Anika," I say loud and clear. The uneasiness is still there even though Anika absorbs what I mean. She pulled me closer, looking into my eyes with so much passion. I love this girl more than anyone. "I will make it up to you and promise it won't happen again." I intend to torture her a little. Play hard to get, but I'm having difficulty resisting her charms. My heart instantly softens when it comes to her. "You have to trust me, Anika. I'm not your ex." Keeping up my upset, not wanting her tenderness to stop. She hugged me, and my anger toward he
BIRTHDAY PARTY>>> "You made it!" Drake said happily when Jaz and Anika arrived. "Of course, I will not miss your day, Drake." Jaz smiled back, kissing each other cheeks. Anika pretended to cough at that scene. "You're rocking that outfit, Jaz." Drake complimented her. That didn't feel good for Anika. "And so are you, Anika," Drake added, trying to avoid fire between the two gorgeous girls. "Looks like your other guests need you, Drake. Don't be bothered by us. We can handle ourselves," Anika meaningful expressed. Drake immediately understood that. He smiled. "Enjoy the night then," he said, leaving the two. "Hey! A second. Here is what I got for you." Jaz handed him a present. "Oh! You don't have to, but thank you, Jaz," Drake let out, accepting her gift. "He seems blown away by you. Huh!" Anika uttered. "Anika!" Jaz smirked, arching her eyebrows. "That's the truth, Babe. So bad you're already mine." Anika candidly stated. "Anyway, I can't blame him. Babe, you are
EIGHT YEARS LATER>>> "Tell me! You want this alliance because of her... You desperately want to see her!! Be with her..." "Enough, Drake! I'm doing this for the company.. 8 years have passed, and I'm already married to you with a kid. Why do you still threaten?""You really don't know?! Seriously.. Jaz? I'm not dumb!! You didn't love me even once in those fucking hell years. You are talking shit.." Jaz's tears began to stream as she spoke, "You don't deserve it! And I believe you know why.. You betrayed me... You dashed to pieces my soul!! Your lucky you still have me by your side..." Calming herself as she walks out. Drake was left in the dark, facing his own sentence. AT DIVERSITY>>> "I doubted you would show.." Anika blurted out."My company needs this, Ms. Hodgens.." Jaz responded. "Well, well, well.. Jaz Amanda Raven.." ticking her tongue," what a surname.." Jaz followed her every move around the office. "Please, Anika..." "Call me by my surname.. We're not friends.." Ani
"Drake, where is our son?!" Jaz asked with deep concern when she spotted her husband in the dining area. "So early for breakfast, huh.." Drake responded with bitterness. "What is a kid supposed to do?! Play.." He added, standing from his stool to avoid Jaz with visible irritation on his actions. "You know he can't do that!!" Jaz wailed, holding him back on the arm. "Of course, He can. You're making him weak, Jaz.." Drake postscript when he turned to face her. "Fuck!" Jaz sighed, giving up, and then went to the back area of the house. "Oh, my God! Jaiz!!" Jaz panicked, running towards her son lying on the grass. "Hang on, baby... Drake!!!" Crying while calling her husband. The maid suddenly passed by. "My God, have mercy!" The maid burst out in fear. "Polly, call the ambulance! What are you looking for?? Hurry!" Jaz was trembling as her son was in her lap. "Y-yes, ma'am, sorry. " Walking fast, quivering as she grabbed the phone to dial. ### Jaiz had difficulty breathing an
