Chapter One
Episode 1
It was late at night when my boyfriend Zack fetched me from my apartment. Since I entered college, I was able to convince my parents let me move in a studio type unit near the campus. Living far from my parents gives me a lot freedom – no curfew, no house rules. I can almost do everything I want like attending Kia’s party, the famous and hottest chic in town. The grand celebration will be held at the most prestigious bar in the east. I really prepared myself for tonight and aimed to have the spotlight for this event. I have my hair styled in wavy curls. I’ve matched a pair of metallic stilettos with my black cocktail dress. It was a total make over – a head-turner look!
“Wow!”The three-letter word came out from Zack’s lips as I approach him outside the main gate. I knew he was totally impressed on my overall transformation.
“So that’s what took you for three hours?” he queried.
“Well… I’m really sorry.” I apologized. “It’s worth the wait. You’re amazingly gorgeous tonight babe.” Zack complimented. Nothing is sweeter than knowing my boyfriend appreciates me, he seldom does.
We arrived at the party on time. It was really crowded. Good thing Kia has reserved us a VIP slot in the parking area. The venue was all set up, including the lights, the sounds, the stage for the rock band, and all the rest. It was indeed an ultimate party blast! I was so excited. I spent all night hitting the dance floor and drinking cocktails – plus several shots of Singapore sling and some bottles of beer.
“BLA-A-ARP...” It was disgusting. I’m not feeling well and it’s, it’s…
“BLA-A-ARP!” coming out again. I feel dizzy and tipsy and woozy – I am super wasted!
“Let me take you home.” Zack suggested.
“No! I don’t wanna go home!” I pleaded.
“Janee, we are going home. You need to take a rest.” Zack insisted.
“I’m doing fine.. I-I… B-L-A-R-P-P...” Ok, maybe not that fine. My bf carried me on his back because I can’t even stand still. I think he’s right; I need to go home before I do something more stupid than looking like a jerk in front of this party crowd.
We arrived in my apartment a few minutes later or several hours? I’m not quite sure but I don’t care, what matters is that we’re already here in my apartment safe and sound. Zack led me inside my room and handed me a towel. I immediately went inside the bathroom and washed myself with warm water. This time I knew I can handle myself- I’m feeling a lot better! I went back inside my room after taking a shower. I saw Zack lying on my bed. I headed towards him and tried to wake him up.
“Zack… Zack…” I uttered softly.
He opened up his eyes and touched my face gently. “I love you.” He whispered in my ears.
“I know.” I replied.
“But for now you have to get up and drive home, it’s getting late.” I tried to pull him up but his weight is heavier than mine so I was pulled back.
“Hey!” I giggled.
“Janee…” He said in a very sweet voice.
“Janee…” I can hear him say my name over and over. I think I’m gonna melt. He slowly stroked my hair with his hands and kissed me.
“Let us make love tonight Janee.” he sighed.
I was speechless and completely blank. I don’t know what and how to response, all I know is that I love Zack so much.
“Do you love me?” he asked with his most angelic face. “I—I do…” I replied.
“Then show me…” He grabbed me gently and kissed me once more – this time on the neck. I’m finally losing myself. I know I have to resist the temptation, but I failed. I totally gave in and it felt so right. It was the most beautiful thing that happened in my entire life.
