A rebellion started inside Jada. She suddenly felt like she was on fire so she stood up to go out, ignoring the chair that fell and the glass that broke when she did.Her priority was to get out of the restaurant as soon as possible. If she doesn’t, she might do something way beyond her imagination.She heard Honey calling after her. She sounded worried but Jada didn’t bother to turn around and look at her.As she was about ready to run away, someone grabbed her arm. Jada has no plans of checking who that was, but it was too late, she was already stopped.“What happened?” Lyken asked without letting go of her.Jada can see the intense worry in Lyken’s eyes, but she just felt madder looking at him. She wanted to give him a good slap, that way he might realize what is wrong, but she forced herself to calm down.“Why did you suddenly run away? You even broke a glass. Is there something wrong Ja?” he asked again.“I'm fine,” withdrawing her arm from him. She noticed that Honey, Kobe, and
“Guys…” she called to get the attention of all three of them. They’re at her condo, lounging on the couch while drinking and talking about random stuff.Honey was first to turn her head to Jada, followed by Ada, then Bambi. “Can you guys help me think of a gift that I should give to Lyken?”Both Lyken and Kobe recently passed their licensure examination. In addition to that, Lyken and Jada were about to celebrate their 3rd year together.She’s been thinking for almost two weeks, but she still couldn't come up with anything. She still couldn't decide what would be the best gift to give him.“Gift him your V card! Duh?!” Ada suggested explicitly. Honey and Jada turned their heads to him, foreheads creased, but he just shrugged at them.Bambi downed the contents of his glass before joining the conversation. “You mean he hasn’t asked for it yet?” Jada shook her head in response. “I have a feeling that's what he's waiting for. You should give it up. Maybe he won’t cheat on you anymore afte
Jada’s recall of the past was interrupted when she heard someone knocking. She paid no attention to whoever it was, regardless of how long they were there, until they left on their own. Looking around the room, she started gathering her things. When she’s done, she took her phone and booked herself a ticket to California, where her parents are. ‘It’s the only place I can be in peace so I’d rather be there in the meantime than be at my condo where he has easy access, or better yet, I’ll stay there for good. The farther I am from Lyken, the better.’ She checked her watch and it was only fifteen past midnight. She decided to sleep while waiting for a chance to leave. However, as soon as her back touched the bed, someone’s knocking again. This time it’s way louder than the first ones. “Jada, please open the door. Let’s talk,” it was Lyken. His words were slurred and his voice was hoarse. Jada can easily tell that he’s drunk. But just like what she did to Honey and their other friend
“Baby are you ready?” Jada's mom called from outside the room.“Yes ma, I’ll be out in a bit,” she replied then she started putting away her makeup and squeezing the makeup kit inside the suitcase.She went out of the room and headed downstairs, putting her luggage along with her parents’ luggage. They’re all flying back to Zaragoza to attend Honey and Kobe’s wedding.It's still two months before the big day but they are coming early to help Honey with the preparations. The couple also wanted Jada’s parents to be their Principal Sponsors and the two happily agreed.Aside from Jada being the Maid of Honey, Jenny and Lowela are part of the entourage too, they’re Honey’s bridesmaids. The two were their college buddies and they’re still close though they don’t see them often.As for Kobe, his Best Man is none other than Lyken. His groomsmen include Robin and Steve. As well as their college buddy, Kyle.The pinks are neither bridesmaids nor groomsmen. But they will play an important role th
All eyes were on Lyken when he arrived. He was looking gorgeous in his navy blue long sleeves with a hand embellishment.Looking closely, Jada wanted to roll her eyes when she realized it wasn’t just an embellishment. It’s a real hand.Before she looked at the owner, she wished it was Ada but her genie failed her. Walking next to Lyken is a sophisticated-looking woman, smiling at them.She averted her eyes and focused on the watermelon instead. Jada started stabbing it with a fork as a way of distraction.She wasn’t sure why she was reacting like that. She admits that she’s feeling irritated and she couldn’t deny that. Despite the weird emotions, she still manages to smile.Being able to feel irritated at the sight of Lyken showing up with another woman, could only mean one thing. She’s indeed human, still human.The scene hurt her, but she can say that she’s already forgiven Lyken for everything he’s done. Jada’s moved on from the ghost of her past, their past.Whatever irritation sh
Lyken was relieved when Honey came down from Jada’s room and told him she was fine. Jada just had an upset stomach.He’s been wondering how they’ll be able to talk though. Lyken wanted to fix things between them before Honey and Kobe’s wedding. Even just for their closure, he’s fine with that.After almost an hour, he saw Jada come downstairs. They were still on the veranda, but Jada’s parents had already left to rest for a while.Josefin poked his arm and pointed at Jada, she was on her way to the garden. Lyken nodded and stood up to follow her.“Ja, how are you?” Lyken asked, but she didn’t respond. Letting out a nervous breath, he clasped his hands behind his back and continued, “Jada I’m really sorry about everything I did in the past. I was hoping you can still forgive me and forget about all that. Let’s start anew, even just as friends,” he stated.However, Jada was still unresponsive. “Ja, please, I’m really sorry,” he told her again but he was still ignored. Lyken chose to kee
Jada’s nowhere to be seen when Lyken came back. He left the group for almost an hour because he had a hard time mediating between Josefin and her fiancé, Emil.“Dude, can you go fetch Jada? She won’t listen, she’s already wasted,” Robin told him as soon as his butt touched the couch.He looked at the dancefloor, scanning the crowd to find the person he’s looking for. There he saw her with Bambi and Ada.All the blood in his body rushed to his head when he leaned closer to get a better look at her. She’s dancing with a guy he’s not familiar with. He doesn’t even know if she knows the man.Jada’s one arm is wrapped around the man’s neck, while the other one still holds the bottle of vodka. He shook his head in disbelief. ‘What is going on with her?’Lyken doesn’t know if he should go to her. He doesn’t even know what he will do to get her off of the dancefloor. He glanced at Kobe and he, too, looked worried.“Go ahead man, she’s already drunk a lot,” Kobe urged. Left without a choice, h
Jada dreamt that Lyken was kissing her. ‘Ugh! If only I could dream like that every night. If only it wasn’t ruined in the end.’She dreamt that she asked him to stay although he was already engaged. At least for that night and he did. He spent the night with her.And Jada was right, it was nothing more than a dream. Because when she woke up, she didn’t see Lyken next to her.She reached out for the pillow next to her and hugged it. When her nose touched the cover, her breath hitched. ‘Why does it smell like him?’Nervous, Jada tried recalling everything that happened. From the bar to her room and everything in between. ‘Holy! Was it Lyken who danced with me last night?’‘If that’s really him, then that means he was the one who brought me home too. He was the one who laid me down on the bed. He was the one who lied next to me. He was the one I kissed.’‘Did that really happen? It can’t be because that’s just downright stupidity!’She quickly got off of her bed, headed straight to the
