<NEXT MORNING≈MARCEL’S APARTMENT>

Jolie could be seen sitting on the bed with the sheets wrapped round her body. Her eyes were so wide as she stared at nothing in particular.

She couldn’t believe what happened last. She had s+x with Marcel, she really did?!

“What do I do now?” She mumbled and just at that moment, sleeping Marcel woke up.

“Mm… My head” Marcel groaned, sitting up.

He squinted his eyes and shook his head before looking at Jolie who was also starring at him with wide eyes. His eyes automatically widened too.

“JoJo?!” He exclaimed and blinked, shaking his head.

His eyes widened when the memories of last night flushed in his head.

“What did I just do?” He screamed inwardly, regret already eating him up.

“About last night-“

“Why didn’t you stop me! You clearly saw I was drunk, why didn’t you leave!!” Marcel suddenly snapped.

“I’m sorry, I tried to but…” Jolie trailed.

Marcel pinched his brows

“Jolie, I’m sorry.. Whatever happened last night wasn’t intentional. Let’s just act like nothing happened and-“

“How about not” Jolie cut him off and took his hand.

“Marcel, I love you.. I’ve always done so but couldn’t tell you because of your love for Catalina. Please just give me one chance and I promise I’ll mend you, I’ll love you the way no other woman will ever do” Jolie said.

Marcel looked down and slowly removed his hand from her hold.

“I’m sorry Jolie, but I don’t love you… And I don’t think I’ll ever do” Marcel said.

Jolie stared at him as tears slowly trickled down her eyes. She swallowed hard and nodded before leaving the bed.

She hurriedly picked her clothes before rushing out of the room.

Marcel sighed and fell on the bed, running his hands through his hair.

“And another friendship broken… Again” He mumbled and closed his eyes.

Meanwhile Jolie backed the door, covering her mouth as he cried silently.

<SPAIN>

The time in Spain was hours behind that of Australia so it was still night there. Catalina and Frederick could be seen sitting in front of the television.

They just finished eating their dinner and now they were about watching a movie.

“So what are we gonna watch?” Frederick asked, taking the remote controller.

“Let’s watch a romance movie” Catalina said and Frederick groaned..

“I find that cringy. Why not watch horror movie” Frederick said, switching to a horror film.

Catalina pouted and frowned.

“I want to watch romance” Catalina said but Frederick wasn’t longer paying attention to her since he was already engrossed in the horror movie.

Catalina took the remote control and switched it to what she wants to watch.

“Hey! Give that back!” Frederick muttered and made to take it but she hid it behind her back..

He began struggling to take the remote from her but she was adamant. A gasp escaped her lips when Frederick suddenly pinned both her hands on the couch with him on top.

“Let me go!” Catalina began struggling

Frederick smirked and began leaning closer to her. Catalina’s eyes widened and she began wiggling under his grip. She glanced at his lips and turned her face to the side but Frederick turned back her face to him with a smirk dancing on his lips.

Catalina stopped struggling as she began starring at his eyes which was gazing directly at her.

“W… What are you doing?” She stuttered as his face kept getting closer.

Her heart began racing faster as she watched him slowly parting his wet lips. Catalina’s lips parted too and she slowly closed her eyes.

Her eyes immediately flew open when she felt the remote control leaving her hand.

“What were you thinking?” Frederick smirked, pulling away. He switched the channel back to the horror film.

“It’s not fair. You cheated, you…”

“I did what? I,,, seduced you?” Frederick whispered to her ears.

“Okay… I don’t know what you took before coming to this trip but you’re acting weird” Catalina pushed him away.

She shifted and sat at the far end of the couch and scoffed before facing the TV.

Frederick chuckled and faced back the TV. A scary scene began showing and it didn’t take up to 5 minutes for Catalina to fill back the space she made between them.

“Argh!!” Catalina shrieked and hugged Frederick as another scary scene came up.

She watched the film with a lot of concentration, still holding tightly onto Frederick.

“Argh!!.” She hid her face on his chest, when a much scarier scene popped up.

Frederick chuckled as she watched her cute facial expression. He rubbed her back and kissed her hair.

Catalina’s eyes widened when she realized she was hugging him. She quickly made to shift but Frederick held her waist, caging her against him.

“Let’s just stay like this” Frederick said

“But-“

“Shh..” Frederick placed his index finger on her lips.

“One more word from you and I’ll kiss you” Frederick said and Catalina immediately clamped her lips tightly.

She faced the TV and began watching it like an obedient kid though lots of things were running through her mind.

Slowly, she relaxed in his arms and snuggled even closer to him.

“You’re so warm and cozy and you smell so good” She mumbled, slowly dozing off.

Frederick smiled and began stroking her hair slowly, admiring her beautiful features..

<STARSHIP HIGH, 1PM>

“Really? This is his mother?” Drake asked as he watched the Clara’s spy took of Sarah.

“Yeah, my spy did some investigation and she works at the brothel as a stripper and sl*t” Clara said.

“Wow! Who would have thought so? The almighty Calvin, son of a prostitute. What if his father is one of the numerous men his mother slept with” Drake laughed and Clara laughed too

“Let’s not release the video now… Let’s wait for the perfect opportunity” Clara smirked viciously.

“Seriously, this is why I love you babe. You’re so quick in action” Drake said, pulling her so that she’ll sit on his thigh.

“Love you too baby. My parents went on a business trip, we can have the mansion all to ourselves” Clara smiled, wrapping her arms round Drake’s neck.

“Can’t wait” Drake smirked and claimed her lips.

She giggled in the kiss.

<LOCKER>

Alice closed her locker and almost got startled when she saw Nelson standing there with a weird smile on his face.

“You almost scared me. What’s that look on your face?” Alice said, walking back to class.

“I’m just happy we’re finally friends” Nelson said.

“Who said so?” Alice rolled her eyes.

“So you still won’t tell me what sickness you’re suffering from?” Nelson said and Alice nodded.

“I don’t like it when people pity me. Makes me look weak” Alice said.

“But-“

“Shh… You talk to much” Alice rolled her eyes.

Nelson just smiled and glanced at her b**bs which was still showing despite the loose shirt she was wearing.

“What are you starring at!” Alice smacked his head.

“Ouch! I was just wondering on something” Nelson pouted, rubbing his head.

“What?”

“I prefer to show you” Nelson smirked.

Alice rolled her eyes and nodded. Nelson smirked n+ughtily and looked at her.

He suddenly brought his hands to her chest and gave her b+bs a squeeze. Alice’s eyes widened in shock at what he did.

“It’s so soft, I thought it’ll be hard” Nelson said, giving it another squeeze.

Alice folded her fists tightly as her face began turning red. Nelson saw the danger sign and immediately took to his heels.

“You’re so déad!! Just wait till I get you!! How dare you!!” Alice screamed and took a fire extinguisher hanging on the wall, chasing him with it.

<EMPTY LIBRARY>

“And that’s how we solve a quadratic equation using the quadratic formula.” Dream concluded

“Wow, I never knew it was this easy” Calvin chuckled and Dream smiled.

Calvin’s phone buzzed and he took it to see it was a text from Aubrey which Dream clearly saw.

“Uhh Dream I’m sorry but I have to leave” Calvin stood up.

“Wait!!” Dream held his hand.

“You and that girl Aubrey,,, are you really dating??” Dream asked

“Oh…” Calvin chuckled.

“Nope, well yes… Well I don’t really know but I think we’re not dating” Calvin said and Dream sighed in relief.

“I knew it you were just pretending to date when you’re in front of Drake” Dream and Calvin nodded.

“When I began tutoring you, remember I said I’ll ask something in return” Dream said, looking down.

“Oh yeah, so what do you want?” Calvin asked.

“A kiss”

“Sure, just a ki… Wait what?!” Calvin raised a brow.

“Don’t you see it? Don’t you get the signs? I like you Calvin,, a lot.. From the very first day you saved me back then” Dream said.

“Dream-“

“Don’t say no… Please, just let me show you how sincere I am” Dream held his hand with a pleading look on his face.

She bit her lips and slowly stood on her toe, pressing her lips on his. Calvin’s eyes widened..

Aubrey who has been standing by the door all along swallowed hard. She slowly tore her gaze from them and quietly left.

<SPAIN, 8AM>

Catalina quickly rushed downstairs while buttoning up her shirt. She almost slipped on the stairs but Frederick was quick to hold her.

“Careful” He released her.

“Sorry, I woke up so late and we have to meet with our investors in few minutes. I’m sorry boss” Catalina said.

Frederick looked at her chest and then at her face. He brought his hand to her chest and buttoned the button she forgot.

“Just call me by my name each time we’re alone” Frederick replied and led the way.

Catalina looked at the button and shook her head before running after him. He opened the door for her and she got in before he closed the door and went in before driving off.

<LAMBERT MANSION>

“You’re such a great cook.. My son is really lucky” Mrs Lambert said and Thalia smiled.

They were currently in the kitchen as they made lunch together since today was her free day.

“Thanks mom… I just hope I’ll be up to the level of being his wife, Flynn has done so much for me and that’s the least I could repay him with” Thalia said

“There’s another way you can repay him yunno…s+x” Mrs Lambert winked and picked a book she dropped on the counter.

“Here’s a book that’ll help you.. It’s titled Kamasutra and has a lot of spicy position to level up the game” Mrs Lambert smirked and handed the book to Thalia who took it, looking embarrassed

“Uhh… Thank you” She chuckled nervously

“So when should I expect my first grandchild” Mrs Lambert said and Thalia choked on air.

She quickly poured water in a glass and gulped it down. Mrs Lambert chuckled at her reaction.

“Uhh.. I don’t know, umm-” Thalia began stuttering.

“Very soon mom, if you want we can start working on that today” Flynn said, walking in.

He hugged Thalia from behind and kissed her neck.

“Oh a book.. Wait Kamasutra? Is it what I think?” Flynn whispered to Thalia from behind

She quickly ran out of the kitchen in embarrassment. Mrs Lambert and Flynn laughed loudly.

“Son make sure you read that book and yunno what follows” Mrs Lambert winked.

“Don’t worry mom, I’m not your son for nothing” Flynn winked too and picked the book.

<SPAIN, RESTAURANT>

Frederick stopped the car and they got down the car before going in the restaurant. They went to the VIP sector to see a man sitting on the table while sipping on his coffee.

He was wearing a blue shirt with black jeans. One who saw him will think it’s a model and not a business tycoon.

He looked so hot and handsome

When he saw Frederick and Catalina, he smiled.. His gaze was more focused on Catalina

“Patrick, it’s been long” Frederick smiled and shook hands with the man.

“Fred, always as handsome as before. You never get old” He chuckled

“My, my!! Who’s this beauty I’m beholding in front of me” Patrick smiled, his attention on Catalina.

He took her hand and placed a kiss on the back of it, with a flirty smile on his handsome face. Frederick stared jealously at them

Catalina gave out a nervous smile.

“I’m Patrick Steven, your future boyfriend and you?” Patrick smiled, still holding her hand

Catalina frowned. This man was way too forward for her liking.

“I’m-“

“She’s my wife, Catalina Reynolds… We’ve been married for two years and she’s 8 months pregnant” Frederick replied, holding her waist possessively with a straight look on his face.

Catalina: “…”

Patrick: “…”

Readers: “…”
