The Night We Began Novels & Stories

We’ve been going to night parties. It started as a casual suggestion from Lila during one of our late-night study breaks. “We deserve to celebrate surviving exams,” she declared with her signature grin. “Just one night. No drama. Just music, dancing, and forgetting about everything for a few hours.” I hesitated at first. Parties had been the starting point of my biggest mistake. But something in me—maybe the new energetic version of myself I was trying to rebuild—said yes. Jaden agreed too, and just like that, the big three began our tentative exploration of nightlife.

"All night, girls. We're just getting started." The pool lights flickered. Music kept playing. And we didn't stop until the sky started to lighten.

It all began on a Sunday evening. This time, it started in the sitting room at seven o’clock. The city outside the big windows grew dark. We both sat very still, we had left behind all the professional ways of speaking. Now we were just two people in a room together. He returned to the estate.

Aron leaned in closer, mischief dancing in his eyes, “if you want, we can work together to build chemistry. You know… you’re actually kinda cu—" The door swung open with a sudden clack. Night stood in the doorway, his expression unreadable, but his eyes laser-focused—first on Sky, then on Aron. His jaw tightened slightly. “It’s time for dinner,” Night said in a clipped tone. “We need to put our microphones on.” The sudden shift in mood was sharp enough to cut the air. Aron, who had been halfway through a flirtatious grin, blinked and sat up straighter. “O-Okay. We’ll come down in a bit.”

Too normal to investigate. Too perfectly average to be extraordinary fugitives. It was insane. It was brilliant. It was our only option. So we took it. Together. Always. Starting Saturday. With dinner. And friendship. And the beginning of the end. Or the end of the beginning. Time would tell. But we'd face it together. That was enough. It had to be. Because it was all we had. And we'd make it everything. Starting now.

V6 POV "Go to sleep, Go to sleep, Nighty Night time little Princess, Close your eyes, sleep sleep sleep, There's a moon up tonight let it dream of your dreams where the nightlife is none Let it cradled you to sleep where the stars are up tonight. Let it dream your dreams. Nighty Night time little princess. " I hummed softly to the little princess as I nuzzle her face. Her droopy eyes finally close as I slowly move from under her arm, trying my best not to make much movement while leaving her bed. As soon as all four of my feet were safely on the ground, I pull the blanket over her, leave a kiss on her nose and quietly leave the room.

I felt his sperm flowing on my inside but was too weak to nag. He pulled out of me slowly, pulling me into his hands. I just had sex with someone I didn't know. I wasn't even sure if it was real because everything felt like a dream to me. Slowly and peacefully I drifted into slumber stark naked before him. The shadow of a stranger. The next morning, I woke up with a serious migraine because I had a lot of tequila last night. I touched the bedside but no one was there. It was cold indicating that either someone had not been lying there or someone left earlier.

Even at the starting point of the music, I already specified the song being played in the background was my favourite one. And the title of the song was "The Night We Met". The lyrics of the song have made me reminisce about that certain night Ghino and I first met. For him, our first met was back in the canteen when I accidentally blocked his feet which resulted in him stumbling over the floor four years ago. But that was utterly not the first one. I'm not even sure if he still remembers it. Our first encounter happens six years ago when I was twelve years old. The same day as my twelfth birthday.

The emcee announced and the hall was surrounded by around of applause from the visitors. Lumabas mula sa malaking pintuan si Cypress habang nakakapit siya sa braso ng kuya niya. Hinatid siya nito sa may stage kung saan siya uupo. "Let's start this party with the eighteen treasures, then it will be followed by eighteen favorites. After that, we will move on to eighteen candles..." Nagsimula na ang party at hindi ko alam na ganito pala ang isang debut party. Hindi ko kasi naranasan ito noong nag-eighteen ako. Simpleng kainan lang sa bahay ang ginawa namin ng pamilya ko.

“You better tell me everything by tomorrow morning, or I would be the one to rip your head off” “You don’t have to worry about that” She responds. “What time is the gala?” I ask. “It starts at 10pm but we have to be there by 8:30pm, Madam Stephanie wants perfection” She explains “Okay…. And the dress code?” “I got that covered, the dress is in my wardrobe on the left. It’s a black leather dress and the shoes are on the rack. Oh and don’t worry about your night shift, I already convinced Natalie” She states.
