CJ's POV
"CHRYSLER JOHAN SMITH!" Samantha shouted loudly which made me leaped off of the bed and run to the bathroom, but unfortunately, I slipped and fell.
"Ouch!" I grunted after my butt hit the tiled floor.
"Baby what happen to you?!" She yelled again but more in a worried voice.
"I slipped." I groaned and pushed myself up, griping the doorframe tightly. "What happened to you?" I asked back.
"Nothing, my uhm.. it hurts." She hesitated and scoffed after when she already saw me standing in front of her. "Can you put your clothes on?"
"I don't have clothes to wear, it's in my car, can you get it for me?"
"Are you seriously asking me to get your clothes down in the parking lot in this situation?" She asked with raised eyebrow.
"Yeah? Unless you want me to go down on my own like this?" I asked and pointed at my naked body.
"So you're really asking me to go down—."
"Forget it, I'll got get it myself." I said to cut her off and gave her a peck on her lips before exiting the bathroom. I picked up my clothes last night and wear them. "She yelled and I slipped and now she's acting like I did a crime last night." I scoffed. "I'll just take a bath when I get back, I can't really order her around!" I groaned gutturally as I step out of her unit.
I was about to walk to pressed the ground floor when I got inside the elevator when I remember that I have my own unit in this building. So instead of going down to my car, I pressed the button to the top floor.
After almost an hour, I got changed with new clothes and fresh again. I decided to go down to Samantha and when she opened the door, I was greeted with a pillow, hitting my face.
"What the hell?" I said whispery, looking at her in disbelief.
"What took you so long? And why are you already changed? You even take a shower? Do you have a mistress here?!" She bombarded and I couldn't help but to laugh, which is wrong because her face was now mad furious.
"Seriously babe?" Amusement drawn on my face.
"Are you cheating on me, Chrysler?!"
"No I'm not! How can you say that?" I exclaimed as I went inside her unit. "I owned the penthouse on top of this building. I took a shower and change clothes up there."
"Really? Why don't I know that? " She still asked doubtfully.
"If you want, we can go there for you to believe me." I said as I went behind her and wrap my arms around her waist. "And I don't have plans to cheat on you, that's just pure bullshit because I already have everything on me now, why do I have to waste that?"
"Just make sure CJ or I'll cut everything I can cut on you if you go cheat on me." She threatened.
"I'm too scared to do that." I said as I rest my chin on her shoulder and she hugged my arms that's around her and we swayed our body. "Babe.."
"Hmm?"
"Since it's Friday, do you want to go for a weekend getaway with me in Batangas?"
"Just the two of us?" She asked.
"Let's bring the whole squad, the more the merrier."
"Okay, but how about your training?" She asked, she's more concern about my training than myself. And that's cute.
"I'll just excuse myself, since I deserve this vacation, we've been trying our best this past whole month and we never get lost, so I think coach Aly will let us."
"Then good luck with that." She said giggling and tapped my arm. "Let me cook for our lunch, Mitch is in leave."
"Who's Mitch?" I asked with my narrowed forehead.
"My maid." She replied and turned around to kiss the tip of my nose before removing my arm and she walk to the kitchen, I was just staring at her hour glass body and smiled when she vanished from my sight.
I fishes out my phone from my pocket and dialed Coach Aly's number, with just one ring, she pick it up.
"You son of a b***h! Where the hell are you?!" She yelled and I put the phone away from ear, letting her talk for a few seconds then attach it back. "—so f*****g dead!"
"I woke up late and I'm sorry, I had a rough day yesterday." I said when she stopped from talking.
"Next time, if you want to drink, just make sure that you still can wake up the next day so it wouldn't affect your schedule!" She scolds and I'm not gonna ask her if who told her that I drink last night. My friends, who else it could be, right?
"Sorry Coach."
"I can't forgive you yet, but I wanted to ask if you already fix the mess you made with your girlfriend?" She asked with now her calmed voice.
I can't believe that she know even my misunderstanding with my girlfriend. I can't really trust those two morons.
"Were good, coach." I replied with a chuckle. "Uh coach."
"What?"
"I called because I want to inform you that I still won't make it tomorr—."
"Again?! What will be your excuse this time, Smith?!" She cut me off and yelled again.
"Coach, not to be an asshole but don't you think I deserve this weekend vacation? I've been doing my best and keep winning, I haven't lose a game, so...—." I trailed off and waited for her to respond but she took almost 20 seconds before I heard her releases a deep sigh.
"Ok, but I want you to make it up by Monday and just make sure that you'll not gonna ditch the training this time." She said and I punched the air in happiness. "Are we clear?" She added.
"Aye coach!" I saluted even if she couldn't see me. "Thank you coach, have a great weekend."
We talk a bit about the upcoming championship before she finally let me go and Samantha came out from the kitchen.
"Baby the food is ready, come on let's eat." She said.
"Coach Aly let me have a vacation, so I'll just need to inform the squad later." I said as I pad towards her.
"Okay, let's eat first and I'll call Claire too."
When I sat down at the chair she pulled for me, she was the one who put the food in my plate and served the coffee before she sat across me.
"Babe, why I haven't seen your maid?" I asked when I remember that she have a maid.
"She's my part time maid, every morning she'll be here at 5 to prepare my things and foods then she'll stay here till 5 PM."
"Oh, that's why I haven't seen her before." I nodded my head and starts digging on my food. "By the way babe, I need to go home to prepare my things and I'll bring our Hi-Ace." She just nodded her head at me as we continue eating.

When I got home, I saw my sister's car in the driveway. I quickly hopped out of my car and run inside.
"AJ!" I called.
"Hey, you're here!" She exclaimed when she saw me while she's in the middle of the stair, then her brows knitted. "Why on earth are you here? Don't you have class to attend?"
"I didn't go to university." I replied. "So I was planning to have a weekend getaway to Batangas, do you want to join?"
"Sure, I'll call Rhea, it's a good timing for us to unwind." She said and excused herself
I head straight to my room to pack some clothes in my backpack and after that, I called Zairell. I'm sure they were together as of this moment because it's still lunch time.
"Yow wazzup!" She greeted a bit of cringe-y but I decided to ride on it.
"Yow dude! Are you with the gang?" I asked.
"Yep, why'd you ask?"
"I'm just wondering if you guys would like to come with us in Batangas later?"
"Whoa! What's with the sudden getaway?"
"Nothing.. just want to unwind I guess? Besides we had this rough month because of the games and training.."
"Ok, we're in.. I will tell them. See you in an hour." She immediately agreed without any hesitation.
"Wait! What will be your excuse to coach Aly? I've already talked to her so you don't need to include me with your reason." I said with my triumphant smile. I'm sure they will have a hard time to excuse themselves with our coach knowing that I won't be there.
"Yhen will do it, she can manage that." She said while laughing.
"Poor Yhen Tch!" She'll be the one who will think for their excuse, she always do anyway. "Got to go see you in a bit."
"Ok. Bye.. you owe me some story on what happen between you and Sam."
"I don't kiss and tell Zairell." I said and made a sound using my tongue.
"Killjoy.." She scoffed but I know she won't force me to tell her what happen, we know how to respect each other's privacy.
"I'm not like you." I hissed and end the call.
After almost an hour of waiting, I know that my squad has finally arrived because of the noise downstairs. I grabbed my backpack and went out of my room. I'm still on the top of the stairs but I already caught Annabelle and Keisha beating up Yhen. While AJ and Rhea are just laughing on the side with Grace, then Zairell sitting on the sofa, pleasing her aggressive girlfriend.
Since when she can drag Ruth out of the bar counter? I asked myself. It's good that I have two bartender so if one is absent, there'll be another one who will left.
"Yo that's enough and we should go so we don't get too late on the road." I said when I reached the bottom of the stairs. Yhen quickly run towards me and hide behind me.
"Dude! Help me. Those bitches are going to kill me!"
"What did you do this time Yhen?" I asked, I know that she did something naughty to pissed off the girls.
"I didn't do anything! I was just saying that they shouldn't wear bikinis.." She defend.
"Why?"
"Coz dude look at them.. they're aren't sexy and had a body of coke... in can." I looked over my shoulder to see her face and laugh amusedly.
"The thickness of your face Yen-yen! And you think you're sexy?!" Keisha yelled at her and charge forward but Yhen used me as her human shield.
"That's enough, we still need to fetch Samantha and Claire." AJ finally rebuked them and since she's the oldest among us, they listened to her and they stopped.
AJ volunteers to drive since she's the only one who has no partner and Annabelle sat next to her in the shotgun seat, behind her was Rhea, Grace and Keisha. Next is me and Yhen because Zairell decided to occupy the last seat so she could be with Ruth alone.
When we got in front of Samantha's condo building, they are already waiting for us outside. Yhen and I immediately get off of the SUV and approached the girls.
"Let's go?" I said and wrapped my right arm on her waist and took her bag with my left arm. "I missed you." I whispered.
"I missed you more baby." She whispered back with her sweetest smile.
"You girls just separated for almost an hour, stop with the drama." Claire hissed with an eye roll.
"Let them be, don't worry, I'll kiss you too." Yhen teased and dragged Claire to the SUV.
"Do it and I'll kill you." Claire threatened and swat Yhen's hands and she stomped her way to the SUV. Yhen scratched her head shake it after as the three of us went back to the car.
It'll be a long drive so we have to entertain ourselves by talking and planning what we should do if we get there. Yhen and Claire keep bickering inside, even if we already know something about them, they still couldn't stop from arguing as if they didn't like each other.
"Chrysler, can I sit next to the window?" Claire asked.
"Why?" I asked.
"I couldn't take it anymore, sitting next to this asshole will make me crazy." She complained and slap Yhen's arm.
"As if I like sitting next to you! If you want, you can take the seat at the back!" Yhen retaliates.
"Shut up! I'm not talking to you!" Claire sneered at Yhen.
"You shut up or I'll tongue you here!"
"Do it or I'll push you out of this car!"
"You know what? You look good together, I will not be surprised if one day, you guys started dating." Keisha said and we all laugh because we know that it's true.
"No way!/Yuck!" Yhen and Claire replied simultaneously and they looked at each other, then looked away abruptly.
"These two." I said chuckling while shaking my head.
After that, everyone fell in silence, as if they were too tired to laugh and to talk. Then AJ spoke to break the silent. "Who would like to use the comfort room? We'll stop at the gasoline station." She asked.
"Great! I'm starving." Annabelle said.
"Yeah, I need to pee." Yhen said.
When AJ pulled the car to the gasoline station, we all decided to go down and stretch our bodies.
"Babe, do you want to use the bathroom?" I asked Samantha.
"Ah yeah, Claire let's go." As they walked away, I approached Zairell and grab her hand.
"Leave Ruth alone and let's buy some snacks." I said and dragged her to the convenience store and I'm not surprised that everyone greeted Zairell because they owned it too.
When we got inside, people are staring us and we're not surprised as well because we are some kind of celebrities that they keep seeing in television every season of volleybal. I went straight to the snacks and keep putting everything in the basket when I noticed that there's someone standing next to me. My eyes saw her long white legs but I stopped right there and looked away.
"Hi?" My gaze darted up to see who is it. It was a pretty woman with rounded eyes, pointed nose and her lips screams sophistication with her red rose lipstick. She's wearing a black tube dress, hugging her body. "Done checking me out?" She said with a smirk and I looked away embarrassedly.
"Ah H-hi.." I stuttered. "Uh do I know you?" I asked.
"No, but I know you." She smiled and leaned closer to me. "You're Chrysler right? The great volleyball player in LSU.. I'm Sarah." She extended her arm.
"Nice to meet you Sarah. uhm.. what can I help you?" I asked as I reached for her hand but she swat it away and leaped on me, she throws her arms on my neck and my eyes widened. I immediately looked behind to see Samantha but she's still not done so I looked back and tried removing her arms. "Uh w-wait Sarah.." I said shyly and keep removing her hands but she won't even budge.
"Do you know that I've had a crush on you for a long time? You're so good at playing volleyball and I didn't know that you could be this handsome in personal!" She said excitedly while keep clinging on me. I don't want to be rude with my fans but I don't want to see mad Samantha again so I have no choice but to stop her from what she's doing.
"Uh pl-please. You need to—."
"What the heck?!"
Both of us whipped our head when there's a woman shouted behind me. She's mad as hell that I could see smoke coming out from her nose while looking at me deadly. And I froze in my spot, blood drain out and I felt like it'll be the last day of my life.
"Who the f**k are you to yell at us?" Sarah said as she turned to face Samantha but she's still not letting me go as she clings on my arm.
"You?! Who are you?!" Sam's asked back and her eyes glazed over at the woman.
"I'm Sarah.. Chrysler's girlfriend.." My eyes literally become rounded with that.
"Oh! I'm sorry Sarah! But that asshole beside you is my girlfriend.." Samantha said sarcastically. "And If I were you, I would prefer to let go of her f*****g arm and leave in this f*****g place before you lose some of your hair."
"B-babe.. calm down please?" I stammered and I know that if this girl next to me say something again, it'll be the her last word.
"What? You think you can scare me? And how dare you to tell me that she's your girlfriend?"
"Okay then, then I'll show you." Samantha said and charged forward to the girl, I quickly block her and stood in front of me, didn't know that Samantha would throw a fist and she hit me on my nose and everyone gasped.
"Ouch babe!" I grunted while covering my nose and the blood drips on it.
"Don't you babe me! Why did you even blocked it!" Samantha yelled at me.
I looked at her in disbelief, I got punch on my nose and it's bleeding yet she handle to scold me as if it was my fault? Oh great my dear Samantha. Tsk tsk.
I heard my squad laughing behind and they look like watching some action movie in a cinema while eating snacks. Tell me how come that these stupid morons are my friends?
"Look what you've done, b***h!" Sarah growled at Samantha, she handed me a hanky to wipe the blood. "Babe, are you okay?"
"Jesus! Don't get closer! I don't wanna die young. And please Sarah. That's my real girlfriend so stop saying that you are my girlfriend." I said as I retreat back from her. Samantha tried to charge again but my friends hold her down this time.
"Let me go! I just wanted to kill that woman!" Samantha yelled and struggling to removed the hands off of her. While AJ, Rhea, Yhen and Zairell are all just laughing on the corner. Didn't even bother to stop Samantha from killing the girl.
"Babe.. would you please calm down? They are looking at us." I said and roamed my eyes around, people inside the store are looking in our spot, some are even filming the scene with their phones. "And I think I'm about to lose blood, care to bring ke to the nearest hospital?"
It seems that Samantha finally get back to her senses as her raging eyes turned to me and she suddenly stopped. The girls let her go when they made sure that she's already calmed and she approached me.
"I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean it." She said sincerely and helped me to stop the bleeding by throwing my head back.
"I know babe, but you seems break my nose."
"I'm really sorry, let's go back to the car so I can treat that." She said and guided me out of the store, but before we could fully step out, she looked back again. "You should be thankful that CJ blocked it for you or you would be the one who has broken nose!" She sneered.
"That's enough." I rebuked.
"Dude never in your entire life that someone punch you and break your nose like that and what's more surprising is, your girlfriend did it first." Yhen said when we stopped in front of the SUV and waited for it to get filled. She laugh loudly, together with the whole squad.
"f**k you. What if I hot your face too so you could feel what I'm feeling now?" I threatened.
"Chill dude! I was just kidding." She surrendered her hand while stepping back.
"Stop picking on me or I'm gonna tell Claire that you and Rachel still seeing each other." I whispered to her.
"Don't you dare! I'll stop talkin' here just please don't tell her." She whispered hardly and I grinned devilishly. And yet they are still being in denial?
"What are you guys whispering about? Get in!" Annabelle yelled from the passenger seat. We didn't even notice that they are all inside.
"Nothing." Yhen and I said in unison.
Our roadtrip continued and they started talking about what happened earlier and they keep teasing me.
"Are you okay?" Samantha asked worriedly while holding the ice pack on my nose to lessen the swollen part.
"I'm fine, don't worry but please, next time. Don't do something like that again. I don't want you to get in trouble."
"It's her fault, if she didn't become a b***h, I wouldn't have to do that."
"Ok ok, calm down now my princess, I didn't even let her had her chance to—."
"What do you mean you didn't?! She's literally clinging at you like a Koala!" She yelled on my face and throw the ice pack on my lap and turned her back against me abruptly.
"I was shocked too that I didn't have time to avoid her arms and you saw that I'm trying my best to remove her from me, right?" I explained but she won't turn back to me.
"If I know, you were so giddy that she's touching you!"
"Of course not!"
"Tss! Just admit it, don't be shy." She said with her gritted teeth.
"Babe, you know that is not true." I snaked my arms on her waist and pull her closer that she almost sit on my lap.
"If I caught you once more, I will kill you with your girl." She said calmly but venomously.
"It won't gonna happen again—."
"So you really f*****g flirted with her while I'm in a comfort room?!"
"No— what? No! psh! I'm not—."
"You said that it won't happen again so you mean—." Samantha couldn't even finish her own sentence and just decided to pick up the ice pack and pressed it too hard on my nose and I screamed in agony.
"Babe! it hurts!" I yelled.
"Then suffer!" She yelled back and turned her back against me once again.
Damn! Women are really unpredictable!
