CJ's POV
I woke up in a good mood because Sam and I had our first day today as girlfriends.
I sprung up from my bed and ran quickly to the bathroom to take a bath, I don't know if it's because I had enough sleep of I really am happy that's why everything seems so smooth for me. I'm even singing a song loudly while taking a shower.
"Coz I was dying inside to hold you,
I couldn't believe what I felt for you— f*****g piece of s**t! Get the hell put of here!"
"Someone in a good mood, singing while dancing butt naked."
"Get the f**k out!" I yelled frustratedly while struggling to cover my naked body using shower curtain.
Yhen entered the bathroom without my permission and she caught me under the shower doing things that I've never let them see! Remind me again peeps that I should lock my door next time!
"Whatever dude! Just be faster because I need to talk to you."
"Fine fine, just get put of here please!"
"I've seen everything on you even the corner of your butt, you don't have to feel embarrassed." She said as she turn her heels and waved her hand but she stopped and looked over her shoulder.
"F*ck you! Stop eye raping me!"
"Eeeww dude! You're making me sick with your words!"
"Goddamn it Yhen! Could you please get out?! for Pete's sake!"
"Ok ok! Chill out! My god CJ you're cursing me to death." She said as she finally leave the bathroom.
"Damn it!" I hissed before I continue what I was doing. All of my friends are like Yhen, they will barge in my room or everywhere I am without my permission. Those dumbass!
I quickly finish taking a bath so I could take my revenge to Yhen, she gave me a trauma and she ruined my mood!
I ran out of the bathroom wearing only a sports bra and boxer shorts and rushed to Yhen, her back turned to me so I had a chance to choked using my arm while one hand was punching her side.
"Ouch stop! I'm sorry!"
"You piece of s**t! Will you do it again?"
"No! I promise I will not do it again!"
I let go of her neck and quickly ran to my walk in closet so that she wouldn't hit me back. I even heard her cussed me
"Demon!"
"Serves you right!" I shouted back. I was just laughing loudly while dressing myself until I came out. "What are you even doing here at this earlier morning?!"
"Well.. I have a problem dude." She said with a serious face.
"What?"
"Ahm.. it's.. Uh You know..."
"What?" I pressed, getting impatient at her.
"So this.. uh that uhm.."
"What?! Jest tell me what it is!" I snapped out and was about to hit her.
"Fine fine, I'll tell you. It's about Claire." She sighs.
"What about Claire?"
"I think I love her." She said shyly.
"Holy s**t, for real? You fell inlove with your bully! What the f**k?!" I exclaimed a bit too much exaggerated.
"Go on, laugh at me, I already know it's coming." She said with a pout.
"Ok ok.. So.. What seems to be the problem?" I asked, trying to contain my laughter.
"I told you because I was afraid that the squad might laugh and tease me just like what you did awhile ago."
"What can you do? Both of you did nothing but quarrels every day and then we will know that you are already in love with your enemy, of course we'll react like that." I couldn't hold back my laughter at all and I burst once again, she sprung up from my bed and was about to hit me. "Wait! I'll stop, I'm sorry." I said to stop her from hitting me. "Just make a way for her to like you too, don't think about it too much!" I added.
"How?" She asked desperately.
"Be good to her."
"How can I do that if she's already mad upon seeing my face first thing in the morning?"
"Now that's the problem." I pointed out. But to be honest, all of know that Claire feels the saw way as Yhen, they are just both too prideful that's why. "Why don't you just go to her place and kiss her? If she gets mad, then you have to retreat but if not, then congrats."
"That was the most ridiculous advice I've ever heard, CJ." She hissed before she stood up and walked towards the door. I soon followed her while laughing and wrapped my arm around her shoulder.
When we got down to the living room, I saw my dad talking someone on the phone and he seems frustrated, isn't it too early for that?
"Good morning Dad." I greeted.
He glanced at us and nod his head, we go straight to the kitchen and saw my mom with my youngest brother having a good laugh together while eating.
"Good morning guys!" I greeted as I kissed my mom on the top of her head.
"Good morning sweetheart. Let's eat."
"Ey someone's in a good mood, huh?" Oscar Jr. said meaningfully with annoying grin plastered on his lips. I was confused of course but I decided to ignore it, but when I looked at Yhen, I saw her grinning too. I ignore her too and sat next to my mom and started eating.
"So guys.. Where are we again and who's that Samantha?" I suddenly got choked in my own food upon hearing my dad, Mom gave me a glass of water that I immediately chugged all of it while glaring at Yhen.
"Sweetheart, are you okay?" Mom asked worriedly.
"Yes mom, I'm fine." I said with a sweet smile, but when I turned back to Yhen, who's trying to stop her laughter, I glare at her more venomously. If only looks could kill, she's probably writhing by now.
"Chrysler, why you didn't told us that you already have a girlfriend?" Dad said with a pout. He's too old for that kind of act to be honest.
"Dad, I was about to, but someone already told you, it was supposed to be a surprise tho." I replied while still glaring at my friend.
"Well, if that's the case, just introduce her later because we still need to attend a seminar in Cebu." Dad said and wipe his mouth with the napkin.
"Okay Dad, we'll go ahead too." I said as I stood up and kissed their heads. "Please be careful and go back safe." I added.
"We will sweetheart and please look after your brother, okay?" Mom said as she tapped my face lightly.
"Mom! I'm old enough for CJ to babysit me!" Nakanguso namang reklamo ng kapatid ko.
"Shut up young man! The last time we left you in here alone, someone saw you in bar!" Mom sneered at my brother.
"We'll go ahead, mom, Dad.." I bid and walked closer to my brother. "It's your own trouble, don't you dare to include me." I whispered to his ear before I stood straight.
"Be careful on your way guys." Yhen said and kissed my parents. When we got out of our house, I immediately punch Yhen on her shoulder. "Ouch! What was that for?!"
"You keep ruining my day! Did aunt born you to ruin someone's day?!"
"I didn't know that you haven't told them yet about Samantha!" she said to defend herself.
"I was about to but you told them first, you moron!" I scowled and act like I was about to hit her but I stop myself and just flick her ear before running to my car.
"When we got into the parking lot of the university, my friends were already there, but Samantha and Claire hasn't arrive yet.
"Morning guys." I greeted them one by one and Yhen did the same.
"Good morning" They greeted back.
"After a while, a 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata slowly parking on the lot and the corner of my lips automatically curved upwards. Claire got off first and I immediately nudged Yhen with my elbow, then my girl follows.
she's so beautiful, oh my god. I am so lucky to have her.
"Good morning gorgeous." I greeted as I extend my arm to her.
"Good morning, baby." She greeted back with my favourite smile of her.
"Miss, aren't you tired?" I asked.
"Huh? Why would I?" She asked back confusedly.
"You've been running in here all night." I said as I pointed at my head, earning a whine from our friends.
I saw her face reddened, she slowly walk towards me and throw her arms on my neck and I tangled my arm to her waist and pulled her closer to me as I kissed her forehead.
"I love you babe." I wisphered.
"I love you more." She sincerely replied. We were like that in a moment when Yhen shouted.
"Guys! Too much PDA." Yhen hissed, pulling us both away from each other.
"You're really a nuisance to their love story, don't you see how sweet they are?" Claire scowled at Yhen.
"Are you envious? Do you want us to do that too?" Yhen teased while smirking.
"Eeww! You wish!" Claire said with disgusted face.
"Shut the f**k up! Aren't you ashamed of what you're saying?!"
"That's enough, we should go or we'll be late." Zai rebuked and we all followed her while laughing towards our first class.
"Love I'll pick you up at your condo later, huh?" I said to Sam when we got to our room.
"Why?" She asked confusedly.
"I would like to invite you to dinner later.."
"Sure."She answered without hesitation.
"Yes! Thank you babe!" I excitedly uttered and even punch the air.
Our class ended in the morning with the squad quietly listening to every lessons, even though it was quite boring, I ignored it at. Maybe they’re just not in the mood to gossip right now.
We were walking to the cafeteria for lunch when someone blocked our way and it was Arc, smiling widely at my girlfriend.
"Hi Sam.." He greeted.
"A-arc.." Samantha looked surprised to see Arc, her grip even tightened on my arm.
"Sam, my Mom was expecting you last night but I just said you couldn't go because you had an emergency." He said meaningfully as he glanced at me.
"Ah Arc I'm sorry, I was in a hurry yesterday." Sam replied.
"It's ok Sam. Maybe you're free tonight? My Mom and I, we were having a dinner later so I'm wondering if you could make it this time my Mom really wants to meet you Sam?"
Sorry not sorry, we have a date tonight and she already agreed, and to be honest, she's not going with you anymore. I screamed on my mind but I decided to stay silent.
"Arc-."
"We have a date later, so yeah." I was the one who said what Samantha couldn't say. I'm hungry that's why.
I saw that Arc was surprised and obviously disappointed so I smirked. He looked at Sam as if asking if it's true and so Sam nodded.
I held Sam's hand so that we could continue our way but Arc speak again. "All right, Sam, maybe next time if you're already free."
"She will never go with you no matter what." I said.
"What? Who are you to tell--
"Just back off! Samantha is my girlfriend now!" I said to cut him off rudely.
"Wait--what? Is that true Sam?" Arc asked Sam in shock, his eyes were wide open.
"Sorry Arc. I didn't tell you right away." Samantha apologized.
"Let's go babe.." I didn't let Arc to speak again as I tugged my girlfriend to the cafeteria.
"Hey guys what took you so long?" Anna asked when we got inside.
"We just bumped some asshole in our way." I deadpanned as I pulled one chair for Sam to sit, my friends already ordered our food so we don't have to order one.
"CJ..." Sam called me with reprimanding tone but I just smiled at her and starts eating.
"Oh my gosh! He's so naughty!" Claire exclaimed while shaking Samantha's shoulder. All of them turned to her but I immediately looked at Yhen.
"Claire what the hell? I'm eating." Samantha complained. "Who are you talking to by the way?"
"It's Zack, my suitor." Claire replied with her head moving proudly. Yhen suddenly started coughing violently and Keisha gives her a bottled water while Annabelle caressing her back.
Our girls are the sweetest.
"What happen to you?" Claire asked with raised eyebrow.
"Who's Zack? And since when he started courting you?!" Yhen asked back after she recovered.
"Just yesterday and why do you care so much?!" Claire replied snarky.
"Isn't he the soccer captain?" Keisha asked curiously.
"Yes he is, and he's so handsome and he's super gentleman." Claire said proudly as if we are talking with the man of her life.
I secretly glanced at Yhen, who's frowning deeply while looking back at me as well, while Keisha grimaced at the way how Claire describe that Zack guy. I don't know if she knows something or she's just really disgusted.
"Baby.." Samantha's called me whispery.
"Yes?" I replied sweetly, shifting my gaze at her.
"You have to tell me what is it, okay?" She said meaningfully. Damn, she noticed me and Yhen kept glancing at each other secretly, as if we're talking using our eyes.
"Yes ma'am." I nervously replied.
After we eat, we decided to go back in our room, but while we're all walking, Samantha grabbed my hand, then she slowed down her steps so we could be at the back of the whole squad, who seems unaware from our movements.
"Now, tell me. What's with the meaningful glances with Yhen?" She asked when we are already at the back.
"Uh.. I don't think I can tell you, Yhen will be mad at me." I said while scratching the back of my head.
"You're gonna tell me or I'll ask Yhen instead?" She threatened.
"Fine fine, "
"Tell me now..."
"So apparently, one of my best friend fell in love with your best friend."
"What?!" Samantha gasped exaggeratedly, which caused the squad to stop from walking and looked at her. She laugh awkwardly with a peace sign and my friends continue their walk except from Yhen, who's looking at me accusingly.
"What?" I asked.
"What are you guys talking about?" She asked.
"About our date." I lied and smiled at her.
"Don't you just dare, CJ." She threatened before turning her heels and continue her walk. Me and Samantha both giggled as we follows them.

Our classes for the afternoon ended smoothly, but since we still have practice, the three of us excused ourselves to them and we ran quickly to gym, this will be our last practice because tomorrow is the start of the volleyball season and we will be the first team to play against the Chalverion College, our rival school in every sports that you could name of.
After smooth training, I bid my goodbye to Yhen and Zairell because I still have plans this evening. I didn't get the chance to take a bath so I decided to do it in our house.
When I got home, the sun already sets so I need to move faster than my usual, I quickly take bath, removing the smell of sweats, then dressed myself with black elbow length sleeves polo paired with my slack pants and white Vans shoes. When I got down, I saw my brother in the living room, watching Television, he looked over his shoulder when he noticed me rushing towards the door.
"Why are you in a rush and why are you dressed like that?" He asked as he fully spin around to see me better.
"Nothing, I will just buy something to the store." I said in a sarcastic tone.
"Why don't you ask someone to buy it for you? and what are you planning to buy with that outfit?"
"You know what? You better stay away from Yhen, you're already getting her stupidity." I scoffed and rolled my eyes as I look myself at the mirror in the living room. "I have to go, I will be late."
I didn't wait for him to response as I run out of the house, I jumped and slide in the hood of my car to get to the other side and sped away.
When I got into Samantha's condo building, the guard greets me politely and I gave it back to him with warm smile. The guard knew me because I owned a unit in here, the penthouse at the top floor. The unit where I caught my ex girlfriend cheating on me.
I heaved a deep breath and exhales before reaching for the doorbell, I pressed it three times before someone open it for me.
I literally dropped my jaw as I saw Samantha. She's wearing a body hugging white dress above the knee with her glittery grey stiletto and a grey purse. She just let her hair down with a curly tip. Gorgeous! I just snapped out back when she suddenly talk.
"Done checking me out baby?"
"Love... You look.. stunningly gorgeous." I complemented. I saw her blushed, and I couldn't help but to smile. "Let's go or I might not be able to control myself and drag you back inside your unit and we'll just cuddles all night." I said as I pinched her cheek ever so lightly so I won't ruin her make up. I offered my hand that she immediately reached and she intertwined them together as we walked towards the elevator.
When we got down to the parking lot, I first open the door for her and guided her inside gently, after that, I run quickly to the other side and turned on the engine, I let out a sigh after I buckled my seatbelt and smiled at her.
"You're so beautiful that it hurts my chest."
"Shut up." She giggled. I smiled at her once again before we leave the parking lot.
I brought her to the most expensive restaurant in town, owned by my sister AJ, it's a romantic date for the two of us so my sister helped her staff to decorate the whole place just for the two of us. Samantha was too amazed while roaming her eyes around, I could tell by her eyes.
"Good evening Sir Chrysler, ma'am Samantha." The manager greeted when he saw us coming. He usher us to the table in the middle of the restaurant, he almost pulled the chair but I stopped him and told him that I can do that for my girlfriend, not to be rude but I wanted to be the one who will take care of her.
"Baby.. why no one else is here?" She asked confusedly after I sat across her.
"I rented the place from my sister, do you like it?"
"I love it, but aren't this too much?"
"There is nothing too much when it comes to you and I don't want anyone to disturb us because this is our night." I said smiling widely. She return the smile and she wander her gaze once again, while I'm just staring at the beauty in front of me.
The manager approached us again with the other staff, holding trays of food, now this is too much. My sister cooked a lot and I don't know how will we finish all of these. I just asked her to help me to decorate the place but she overdo it.
"This is too much food for the two of us." Samantha exclaimed while looking at the food getting serve in front of us.
"I was not informed about it." I chuckled awkwardly. Then we started eating while talking random things, the manager was just standing on the corner, when I signalled her that we're done eating, he nod his head and ask someone to play the music that I requested to play.
I stood up and offered my hand to the woman in front of me. "May I have a dance with my beautiful girlfriend?" I asked.
"Of course my pretty handsome boyfriend." She said smiling and took my hand and I guided her to stand up.
She snake her arms on my nape and I put my arms around her waist and pulled her closer to mine. She then buried her face onto the crook of my shoulder as we started to dance.. We swayed our bodies on the rhythm of the music and listening in our hearts that beats for each other...
