CJ's POV
"What the hell is happening here?" I asked the three women in front of me.
I was trying to take a nap when I heard an argument after the song ended. I removed my earphone and sat straight, looked at them one by one when no one wants to answer me. "Doesn’t anyone want to answer what’s going on?" I asked again.
"It's nothing, we were just catching up, right girls?" Claire said but she's obviously lying the way she looked at the two with warning.
"Claire's right. We were just talking baby.." Samantha said to assure me and even though I know that they are both lying, I decided to nod my head unconvinced.
"I thought you girls are fighting." I said.
"We're not." Claire laugh forcedly. "We were actually talking what are we gonna do if we arrived at Canada, right girls?" Claire said, to be honest, the more she tried to convinced me, the more she becomes more obvious that she's lying.
I just shrugged my shoulders and went back to lying down but Yhen poked me. "Dude." She called.
"What?"
"How does it feel to be that handsome?" She asked before laughing loudly. I looked at her confusedly while she's still laughing and suddenly, there's a shoe hit her face, which made her stopped. "That hurt!" She whines while rubbing the part where she got hit.
"You really don't know ho to shut up, Yhen." Claire snarled at her.
"What? Isn't it true that they are fighting over C—." The other pair of Claire's shoes hit Yhen one more time.
"One more word, Yhen and I'm going to smash my phone on your face." Claire yelled and everyone laugh at them. Actually, among all of my friends, Yhen is the only one who tried to tease me about what's going on.
"Y-Yeah right, I'll shut my mouth off." Yhen said in defeat and she went back to her seat while murmuring words.
I chuckled as I went back to my seat and look at Samantha. She's glaring at the woman across her, I held her hand and squeezed it lightly to get her attention and I saw in my peripheral vision how my ex girlfriend fisted her hands tightly in her lap.
"Are you okay?" I asked and Samantha shifted her gaze at me, then smiled.
"Yes." She replied.
"Good." I smiled back and lie down again.
Our flight took 15 hours before the pilot officially announced that we landed safely at the Toronto Pearson International Airport. When we all of us got off of the plane, an SUV is waiting for us since Dad already informed the caretaker to wait for us in the airport.
"Welcome back ma'am CJ and ma'am AJ." Carlos greeted, our driver's son here in Canada.
"It's good to be back Carlos." He smiled at us and we greeted him with a hug. He's basically one of childhood friend because he's been with us everywhere when we were still a kid.
"Let's go, so you guys can take a rest.." We just nodded at him and get inside the SUV. He also put our things at the back before leaving the airport.
When we got into the Villa, I asked our maid to show them their room. This house has four guest rooms, four private rooms for us siblings and one master's bedroom for our parents. There are also gym, library, office and music room because I used to play instruments before.
For now, Yhen and Zairell will be sharing one room since Ruth couldn't take a leave because the other bartender is already on leave. Oscar has his own room same with AJ. Then same with the last time, Keisha and Annabelle, Grace and Rhea. Then Claire and with my ex girlfriend. after they found their room, we all decided to have a sleep since all of us has jet lagged.
When me and Samantha got inside my room, I sat down on the edge of the bed while massaging my temple. I had an headache with such long flights.
"Babe..." I called when I noticed Samantha
"What's the problem? You look bothered?" I asked.
"Baby... what if she tried to get back with you? What would you do?" I was really surprised by her sudden question and got silent for a moment.
"What kind of question is that?" i asked back after I recovered from the shock.
"Just answer me.." she said in stern voice.
"Babe.." I held her arm and guided her to sit on my lap in stride position and tangle my arms around her waist, I let out a sigh before I start to talk again. "I rejected her once and I will keep rejecting her again and again if she keep insisting herself to me." I said softly.
"You sure?"
"Yeah!" I said in certainty. "But what's with the sudden question?"
"Arlene told me earlier her reason why she came back.." She said as she bow her head along with her voice began to lower.
"I don't care about her reason or whatsoever about her, just don't mind anything that she said. I'm not that stupid to trade you for her. So stop worrying a'right?"
"I guess I should stop thinking, it's making me ugly.." She looked back up and smiled forcedly.
"You're not babe, you will never be.."
"Whatever baby.." she said and playfully rolled her eyes..
"Come on babe., we should take a nap, my head really hurts." She heaved up from my lap and went to our luggage and pulled out some clothes.
"Change your clothes first, you can't sleep with that clothes." She scold when she saw me was about to lie down.
"Babe I'm so tired to do that.." I protest and crouch like a fetus in her mother's womb.
"You're such a lazy bum Chrysler!"
"Babe! Language! You're so mean to me every time that i don't obey you!" I hissed playfully.
"Sorry." She laugh and pad back to the bed. She removed my shoes and leave my socks since we're outside of the tropical weather. She always do this simple things but never failed to melt my heart.
She put my shoes on the corner before she crawled up into the bed and lie next to me. I automatically hug her waist and pulled her closer to me, she used my shoulder as her pillow and buried her face on the crook of my neck, I feel that I'm heating up when her breath hit my skin. But this is not a right time. Maybe tomorrow.
_______
Another day passed and today is my birthday. The squad planned to walk around and I don't have any idea why they chose to visit parks and everything but never greet me happy birthday. And since it's my birthday, I just go with the flow and follow them everywhere. My ex girlfriend decided to go somewhere and I think it's much better because i can feel the tension between her and all of them.
"Dude, you've been filming since we left the house." I said to Zairell who's holding a camcorder.
"I don't wanna miss this moment dude, just act like that I'm not here filming you." She shooed me away and I just shrugged my shoulder. These morons are acting weird today, even my girlfriend.
"Babe, who you talking to? You've been in a phone since earlier." I hissed but she didn't even look at me. Her phone kept ringing that's why I'm wondering who might it be and knowing that we're put of the country, it's impossible for her staff in her shops to call their boss.
"Guys we should go, she's already there." Samantha said and since she ignored me, I decided to shut my mouth and stood on the corner.
They decided to go in a studio, a place that I don't know why of all places, they chose to go here. Until we enter the place, I remain silent, starting to feel a bit upset at them. It's my birthday but they seems don't have any plan to celebrate it with me because they want to go visit places while I'm just following them behind.
As we enter the place, there's a guy approached us and he talked sith Samantha briefly, then told us to go inside a room on my left. There's a photoshoot happening inside but I didn't try to see who it was and stay on the corner, scrolling on my phone. Then suddenly, there's a tap on my shoulder which made me look up.
My eyes widened when I saw Erika f*****g Linder. She's looking down on me, wearing a black leather jacker and ripped jeans. I stood straight when she smiled at me and blink my eyes, as if I couldn't believe that she's really standing in front of me.
"You must be Chrysler?" She asked, still smiling.
"Y-yes I am, oh my god-- is it real?! Am I dreaming?" I asked while slapping my face multiple times, trying to know if it's real.
She chuckled and then she tap my shoulder again. "I guess you're not dreaming." She said and pointed at my red face.
"Wow! I'm speechless.. you're real! And you're standing in front of me. I can't believe it!"
"You had an amazing friends, they said that they wanted to surprised you in your birthday." She said with full of amusement because of what my friends did to surprise me.
"Yeah and they really surprised me." I looked at my friends with my girlfriend behind and a wide smile plastered on their faces. "Thank you guys!" I sincerely said.
"Happy birthday Chrysler." They said in unison.
"Awe.. this dude are about to cry.." Erika joked and wrapped her arm around my shoulder.
"I am, the feeling is so overwhelming and I can't bare it." Tears are starting to form in my eyes as I bit my lower lip to hold it.
"You're cute.." she said while laughing.
"Baby. Let me take a picture, for remembrance.." Samantha said and she's holding back her tears as well.
I had a picture with Erika first, then my squad joined us afterwards, last picture were with Samantha and I and Erika Linder. We had a chat until she excused herself because her break ended up. I am happily skipping and jumping while leaving the place because finally, I met my idol in personal, and thanks to my friends for making it possible for me.
"Guys, Thank you so much! This is the best birthday gift ever!" I said with wide smile that almost tear my cheeks.
"You should be thankful to your girlfriend, she's the one who contacted someone for you to meet your idol." Yhen said as she pointed Samantha.
"Really babe? You did that?"
"I did, but we planned for it so I'm not gonna take the credit alone." She smiled.
"I love you babe! You'll get your price later." I said with a naughty smile plastered on my face.
"Am I going to expect a nephew after nine months?" Oscar said, earning a pinched from his girlfriend and we laugh. "Just kidding." He pouted.
We decided to have a lunch in a French restaurant, owned by AJ. We love eating to her restaurant because aside eating for free, we are comfortable.
"Yah, slow down! There are lot of foods!" Claire scold Yhen, who keep shoving food inside her mouth even if there's still some inside.
"She's just taking advantage for free food." Annabelle said and we all laughed.
"Wow! It's a reach coming from you huh? You keep eating at AJ's restaurant too that's why you got fat."
"Excuse me b***h?!"
"Whoa whoa, we're eating. No cussing in front of the food." AJ rebuked.
After we ate our lunch, Oscar and Remilyn parted their ways to us because they want to go to another place, so we gone to a bar. An exclusive bar for l***q+ community only. We we're in the middle of happy conversation when five women approached us.
"Hi guys enjoying the night?" The girl that almost naked with her body hugging tube dress, asked.
"yeah, ahm.. Hi, I'm Yhen.." My friend introduce herself and extend her arm, the girl quickly reached for it and she winked at Yhen. Claire frowned but decided to say nothing and chugged on her bottle.
"oh hi Yhen, I'm Jasmin, this is Cassy, Trixie, Emily and Tara." The girl introduce her friends as well.
"by the way these are my friends.. This is Claire, Zairell, Anna, Keisha and AJ, that is Rhea and her girlfriend Grace, while this is Chrysler beside her is her girlfriend Samantha." We all nod to them but the girls with us didn't even glance at them.
"Hi Chrysler, right?" Jasmin said and she offered her hand, she didn't even say her excuse to the woman next to me that in any minute, she'll gonna explode and I'm telling you, you won't gonna like it if that happens. It was as if, one try to move, Samantha will kill me. But I don't want to be rude tho so I take the risk and reached for Jasmin's hands, then released it as quickly as I could.
"You're hot! wanna go with me to get some fresh air?" She asked. Oh my god, the audacity to do say that in front of my girlfriend. I mean, Yhen told her that Samantha is my girlfriend, is she deaf?
"ooh, smooth..." Her friends coos.
"Sorry girl, I have a girlfriend.." I replied while pointing at Samantha.
"woohhooo.." My friends made a noise much louder to her friends.
"Samantha say something!" Claire said and Samantha smiled at her before she steer to face the girl and looked up. I held her arm to stop her but with just one deadly look, I immediately let her go and I scooted back.
"Didn't you heard what she said, b***h?" Samantha spits.
"Excuse me?!"
"You'reour excuse!" Sam scoffed.
"What did you just call me?!"
"I said b***h!" Samantha repeated fearlessly and she stood up. My friends cheered for her while all I can do is to shake my head in amusement.
"Whoa! noones calling me that way, you w***e!"
"Then it's my pleasure to be the first one.." Sam said with a smirk. We were surprised when Jasmin lifted her hand and was about to slap my girl but Samantha grabbed her hand to stop her. "Not so fast bitch.."
I quickly stood up to stop them and pulled Samantha away from the girl. "That's enough." I said.
"Jeez! your girlfriend are getting on my nerves." Jasmin said stiffly so I confronted her immediately.
"I don't wanna be rude Jasmin, but if you wouldn't mind.. can you guys leave?" I said impatiently.
"It's your loss, Chrysler!" Jasmin said before she turn her heels and walk away. Her friends followed her but they rolled their eyes at Samantha before walking away.
"Why do you have to be so handsome?!" She sneered at me.
"What?" I laugh the words out.
"Shut up! I should burn the half of your face so they wouldn't like you!" She groaned and sit down abruptly.
I look at her in disbelief knowing that she can say that to me. "babe.. Are you crazy?"
"Don't talk to me!"
"That's enough, it's my sister's birthday, we should be celebrating not fighting." AJ rebuked.
"Let's just have a toast." Zairell said and she lifted her bottle of beer in the air. We copied her and made a toast.
"Cheers!" All of us said in unison as our bottles made a clinking sound.
It was already 11 PM when we decided to go home, and also, my squad are already wasted. I didn't drink too much because I know that we need someone who needs to sit behind the steering wheel and since it was my birthday and they gave me a huge surprised, it's my turn to drive them home safely.
"Baby.." Samantha called after I buckled her seatbelt. She's drunk and keep nauseating me since earlier. She's cute tho, but she needs to stop because I'm going to drive.
"Babe, you should take a nap to make you sober a bit." I said before I kissed her forehead and started to drive. I thought that she's going to stop but no, she kept calling my name but don't say anything. She will just going to giggle and call my name repeatedly. Then she'll tease me by crawling her hand into my lap. "Samantha Gail." I called warningly but instead to stop, she suddenly slid her hand under my shirt and I gasped. I looked behind through the rearview mirror and luckily, they were all sleeping now. "Samantha, stop it."
She didn't stop and all I could do is to shale my head in amusement for how naughty she is when she's drunk. Until we're half way to the house and she finally fell asleep.
When we arrived at the Villa, I asked the maid and Carlos to help me with my friends and send them to their rooms, even Oscar helped us to send our older sister to her room. Then lastly, I carried my girlfriend upstairs, when I got inside, I put her down gently and stretch my body. She's sexy and yet so heavy! I decided to take care of her tonight since she's been doing that a lot to me. I wiped her with wet towel to sober her up a bit and changed her clothes into more comfortable ones. After that, I tucked her under the duvet and pulled it up to her chest then kissed her forehead before I step out of my room.
I went straight to our mini bar in the living room to grab a bottle of wine. I need to consume more alcohol or I'll get a headache. After I got a bottle of Chateau Margaux, I decided to have some fresh air on the balcony.
The night were so serene, pale quarter moon hiding her half body behind the clouds while the stars sits above her, shining brightly.
I sipped on my wine and released a sigh after when I felt that there is someone standing behind me.
"You haven't change at all. You still drink if you feel like you needed some more." She said.
"I never change but I learned." I said meaningfully without even looking at her.
"Do you really love her that much?" She asked.
"Yes.. more than anything and I'm gonna marry her soon."
"Before, I'm the one you want to marry." She said with a bitterness in her voice.
"That was before, before you cheated on me." I said in a sad tone.
"Can it be me again Chrys?"
"No Arlene, It will never happen again. I love her so much and hurting her will be the dumbest thing I would ever do to her." I said and scoff softly. "And be with you again after what you've done to me is same as being dumb." I added
"but I still love you!" She almost yelled.
"but I'm not into you at all, so please, leave the f**k out of my life!" I said.
"No Chrysler! I will do anything to have you back! I will ruin you two!"
"Bullshit!" I turned around abruptly and point at her. "Don't you ever try to do something stupid, Arlene! Just don't you dare or else you're gonna regret it!"
"Why it has to be her? Why can't it be again?! Please Chrysler, let's try it again." She begged while her tears started to fall.
"Basha? is that you?!" Claire suddenly popped out from nowhere and Arlene glare at her. "I've been looking for you everywhere. Arlene, please leave them alone, they are already together. You should just be happy for Samantha." Claire glanced at me and I just mouthed her thank you.
"You don't understand me! I love Chrysler and I'm not gonna stop until she won't come back to me!" Arlene threatened and to be honest, what can she do for me to go back with her? I'm over about her and she can't do anything else to convince me.
"Damn it! Stop this Arlene! You had me last time and choose to break my heart!" I growled.
"Gosh! Popoy?! Is that you too?! My god, stop with the movie lines. We should stop this before Samantha finds us here!" Claire sneered and she grab Arlene's hand.
"Take her away from me, I have to go back in my room." I said as I leave them two and walk back to my room, but when I walked passed them, Arlene grabbed my hand. I looked down to it and looked back up to her, looking at her dead in her eyes. "Let go." I said coldly but sternly.
"Chrysler please?"
I held her hand and forcedly removed it from mine. "I hope that this will be the last time that I will see your face." I said before I continue my way out of the scene and leaving her crying.
