CHAPTER 12

Friendship

After the scene earlier with that girl named Devil. She really has a weird name. I found myself walking quickly towards the campus gate at the back. I stopped walking when I saw a very familiar back. I bit my lower lip and my tears started to pool in the corner of my eyes.

Without creating any noise I hurriedly run towards the man I love. I tightly wrapped my arms around his waist making him jump a little bit making me giggle.

I buried my face in Keegan's back while hugging him tighter. I heard him breathing a little and I felt that he was stuck in his position.

He turned around and faced me. I hooked both of my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to my body as I slowly pressed my lips with his lips.

I immediately pulled myself away and smiled warmly at him. I was rooted in place when he suddenly hugged my waist and buried his face on the crook of my neck making me pout my lips.

No words came out of his mouth, but I could feel how much he missed me when he hugged me so tightly.

"I miss you so much Keegan." I whispered with my shaking voice as I ran my fingers through his hair.

Keegan slightly pulled away and he bravely looked at my eyes.

"I miss you too much." He whispered while blushing making me giggle. My softy Keegan.

I found myself in Keegan's small apartment. I suddenly felt so hungry by looking at the foods prepared on the table. I lick my lower lip when my stomach churns. I'm really hungry, I just noticed it now.

"You cooked all of this." I asked Keegan stupidly as he put rice on my plate. He shyly nodded which made me smile.

I smile proudly while looking at him. He's so independent and I can't help myself but to fall in love with him even more. I was just so amazed with him. Imagine at his age he can provide for himself. He can revive himself.

I know it's so hard for him but I can't stop myself to be proud of him because even if, life is so hard I can see determination in him.

"Eat. I know you're hungry." he urges while smiling at me. I didn't waste time and immediately dig rice, put the adobo above it and put it inside my mouth. I can't help myself but to close my eyes. Wow! Very delicious!

My eyes sparkle while looking at Keegan who's nervously looking at me. He unconsciously bit his lower lip. Feeling nervous. Oh Yuki, you don't have to be nervous! I think you'll be passed to become a chief!

"Is it okay?" he nervously asked pertaining to the food.

I made a sad face but later on I smiled widely at him “It's so delicious!” I shouted so amazed. I quickly stood up and crawled closer to Keegan and quickly kissed his lips.

He blinked his eyes countless times and then he blushed while looking at me. Hell, Keegan's adobo is so delicious! I've tried eating adobo many times but his adobo definitely makes me damn speechless because of how good it is.

I suddenly felt ashamed because he cooks so well. while me? I've tried cooking. But mostly I study fried foods because it's easier for me. I should learn more huh? My goal is to be his wife someday. I don't want that when he is tired from work, there is no one to serve a delicious dish in front of him.

I still think that Keegan is my husband. It's like I'm floating in the clouds.

I caressed Keegan's cheek while his face was on my stomach. His face buried on my belly as I was caressing his hair while I'm sitting on the old sofa.

I can see in his eyes that he's so tired. I badly want to know all his thoughts running inside his brain. His feelings. Just all about him. But I don't want to force him to tell a story. But my heart hopes that it will be soon while we are together. I hope he can say what's on his mind and what he feels.

I would gladly listen to him.

"You tired hmm?" I asked him using my soft voice.

Keegan slowly opened his eyes. Our two eyes met quickly causing me to gasp. In this shady world I can see beauty and innocence in his gray eyes. He looked at me deeply like he wants to read my soul.

I was surprised when he suddenly sat up. He cupped my face making my breathing hitched. It's like I can't breathe while staring into his eyes. My heart beat harshly inside my chest when I saw him innocently adoring my face.

His right palm slowly caressed my face making me close my eyes.

"Do you know how beautiful you are?" His soft whisper was enough to make my heart go crazy. I don't want to open my eyes because I know for sure he will see so many emotions in it. But my other side wants to tell Keegan that my whole system is so crazy for him.

So I slowly opened my eyes to meet his innocent eyes staring at me. If I had just stood there I would have fallen. I felt my knees so weak just by staring intensely at his gray eyes.

I used to hate staring at someone for a long time. Because I feel they will immediately know what I feel. I don't want them to see my real emotions. But while looking at Keegan's eyes. I want him to see that I am madly in love with him.

I want him to see in my eyes how much he's driving my system crazy.

"I've heard that compliment many times. But my heart doesn't beat insanely fast compared for what I'm feeling right now." I whispered weakly.

He bit his lower lip as his eyes widened.

"Does your heart beat faster while talking to me?" he innocently asked making me nod my head.

"My heart beats too fast every time I see you. It's scary that it's going to explode at any moment. I want to stop it from beating too fast but I can't. The strange feelings I have for you are scary.” He confessed

I bit my lower lip and forced myself not to smile while listening to him confess his feelings.

"Angel Kate..." he whispered my name sexily.

“Hmm?” I hummed

"What if I told you that I'm falling too?" he confessed making me part my lips in shock.

What the hell? Shock was written all over my face. Keegan bowed his head. Feeling shy now.

He held both of my hands while playing with them. He then sighed harshly before speaking what he truly felt.

"I thought about it for a long time. I'm scared but I just want to admit my true feelings. I don't want to hide it anymore. My heart feels like it's going to explode at any moment if I don't say that I'm falling for you too."

I felt so speechless while looking at him bowing his head. With my shaking hands I cupped his face and made him face me.

"Keegan look at me." I called with my shaking voice. Shit! I can't believe this day would come. That the man I love will actually confess his feelings to me! God! I feel like I'm floating in the clouds right now.

I wanted to jump in so much happiness but I stopped myself.

Keegan slowly looked at me while biting his bottom lip which I find him so sexy!

"You're not joking right? Are you literally falling?” because I'll catch you with open arms. My lips trembled as he slowly nodded. Without hesitation. I can see the nervousness in his eyes. But there are only more sparkles here.

I don't know what's gotten into me but I suddenly laugh like a crazy bitch while wiping my tears away. Keegan looked so bewildered and hurt while looking at me. The heck Angel why are you laughing while crying?!

"Don't you believe what I said?" he asked me as if hurt.

“No, no, no… I believe and I'm too damn happy right now. Look, I'm crying." I dramatically shook my head and pointed my face. Keegan then pouted his lips cutely making me giggle.

"Can I sit on your lap?" I asked hopefully while looking at his eyes. I saw how his eyes widened but he immediately nodded his head without hesitation.

I smiled and sat on his lap. He quickly grabbed my waist and adjusted me to sit on his lap. I've noticed that he gains weight. He's gotten a bit more fleshed out compared to the last time we met at graduation.

I excitedly caressed his cheek while he stared into my eyes. I felt like I was being burned by a hot fire while staring at him.

“So you're officially Angel Kate property. All of you, from head to foot.” I gave him a taunting smirk. I thought he wouldn't take what I said seriously but I was shocked when he pulled me close to his body making me blush furiously.

"All of me is yours to begin with." He said causing my jaw to drop.

"Can you kiss me?" My jaw dropped even more because of his question! Fuck? Is this really my Keegan? I think my soul just left my body at his bold question.

When I pulled myself together from the shock. My lips rose up for a smirk. Damn! If my Keegan wants me to kiss him, then I don't have the heart to say no.

I held his jaw and caressed it softly. My innocent Keegan is so cute and handsome!

"Close your eyes." I gave a gentle command that he immediately obeyed. He closed his eyes making me smile.

His hold on my waist tightened when I slowly pressed my lips against his. I lovingly kiss his lips like it's a diamond I treasure. He opened his mouth making my tounge to freely get inside of it. I can feel my body burning with these shallow kisses. I pressed myself closer to his body and kissed him more deeply.

I don't know what's happening to me. I just found myself pulling down my cycling shorts and underwear using my left hand while not breaking our kiss. I stopped kissing Keegan when I felt him stop for a moment. I opened my drunk eyes and looked at him confused.

Keegan looked down as he felt me ​​pull down the cycling shorts and underwear. I'm wearing a skirt right now the reason why it's an easy access for me. Keegan's curious gaze suddenly warmed my cheeks.

"Uhm..." I cleared my throat while feeling my cheeks burning. Damn you Angel! Why are you being so horny right now?! He only wants a kiss! I'm at a loss for words. I looked down because I couldn't look at Keegan because of the shame.

"Do you want to take off your panties?" Keegan curiously whispered in my ear with an innocent voice causing my cheeks to heat up even more! Why do I have a flirtatious side? I snorted because of embarrassment.

"You like?" Keegan asked again in a curious voice. I pursed my lips and nodded my head. Shit. I don't know what's happening to me.

My eyes widened when I felt Keegan's hand under my skirt. I looked at him so stunned.

"Stand up first." He unconsciously licked his lower lip while looking at me. I'm like a puppy that just follows the master's orders.

Even though my knees were still weak from our kiss, I forced myself to stand in front of him. Keegan sat up while looking at me.

"I will remove it for you." Wow so generous! I snorted because I could feel the heat in my body.

Keegan completely lowered my cycling shorts and panties that were already on my knees. My lips just parted while looking at

His He neatly folded my panties and shorts and placed them on a small chair. I felt the cold in my bottom but it seemed like something was missing.

I found myself pulling the skirt off my body. Making me half naked. Keegan. Just make out a promise. We won't have sex. Just make out.

I thought Keegan would be shocked seeing me half naked but I can't see shock in his eyes. He just looked at me with adoration in his eyes.

Without saying a word, I knelt between his legs. My legs and my feminine are so exposed in his eyes but I don't care. I'm his property too. He owns every part of me from head to toe.

I pulled Keegan face to my face and kissed him so deep and hard. I heard him moan a bit when I suddenly bit his lower lip. I unconsciously put my one finger inside my wet core making me moan.

Keegan and I continued to kiss as I inserted my finger into my womanhood. I was not satisfied and added another one.

“Ahh… ahh….” My moan escaped from my mouth as I fastened my speed.

I suddenly stopped when Keegan suddenly stopped our kiss. His eyes widened as he looked at my womanhood while my two fingers were inside it.

Without saying a word, he took my left hand and immediately took his left hand. While his right hand snaked around my small waist. I bit my bottom lip when I felt Keegan's fingers touch my wet core. My drunk honey eyes looked at him.

"Is it like this?" he asked while slowly inserting a finger causing me to inhale. He also played my clit making me dizzy.

"Yes... You're doing right." I breathe hard when Keegan adds another one finger and he pushes it inside smoothly. I can hear the sound of my wetness while he's just innocently finger fucking me.

I watched Keegan as he was watching his fingers doing in and out of my core. I opened my thigh more so that he could do what he wanted more freely. I grabbed his shoulder and pressed myself closer to him.

"Faster Keegan..." Keegan immediately obliged what I ordered. My wall clenched as his pace tightened. He sped up even more causing me to get even more crazy and my growling louder.

Keegan buried his face on the crook of my neck as I heard his deep breathing. Keegan just pleasured me until I felt so satisfied.

"I will do everything to make you happy." He whispered lowly while I'm hugging him. I can't help but to smile.

We maybe don't have a label but at least I know we have the same feelings.

****

The days passed quickly. I can't believe that stress is literally coming my way. Even if I know it's so hard I pushed myself to study hard. Even if I had to squeeze my brain just to stand the course I picked.

I want to prove something and I know who is the reason why I force myself to study hard even though I have a hard time understanding the lessons.

But thankfully this girl came and saved me. When I was young, I tried not to get attached to someone. I distance myself from people who want to be friends with me. It's not because I'm not at their level in terms of life but for another reason.

I don't want to have friends and be attached to them because I'm afraid. I believe in the saying that people will come and go. Some people came into your life to be your friend, they will love you and you'll be attached to them. You'll treat them as a family but ended up they'll hurt you. But I don't take it all in. Some people have good intentions towards you and some people have bad intentions.

They just want to hurt you and I know more. I don't want to have friends. I'm such an overthinker that they might leave me at the end. They might leave if they want to see my true colors. I might end up bleeding and hurting. So, no. I'm happy to be alone. I don't need a friend.

But I think my principle is slowly slipping away from my hold because of this one girl. She's just so persistent! He will notice very carefully that even if I touch him, he will never move.

I hate her because she's always there when I'm at my hardest state. She's always there ready to help me and I just hate it. Because I know to myself that she's slowly entering my life. I hate the fact that she's slowly softened a part in my heart. I guarded my soft spot for that friendship thing but she's just so good and she immediately found the right key to open that certain part of me.

I arched my brow when I could smell her sweet perfume. Even her perfume I've memorized it already. Even if I study it all night I still don't understand. I let out a breath and angrily faced the woman in front of me.

I looked at her with my usual poker face but she just smiled at me sweetly. He took the paper and pen from my hand. Before he wrote here. This is what he always does. She would write and explain our lesson that I can't clearly understand. I don't know either but when I'm at home I can understand what he writes and the explanations compared to the explanations of our professors.

I know I'm a slow learner but I don't need her help.

"How many times did I tell you to stop helping me? Don't you understand?” I asked in an irritated voice while looking at him. She's busy writing down notes on my paper.

"Because I'm stupid, so I don't get what you're saying." She said softly. There's no sarcasm in her voice. Just plain and so soft. I was irritated so I took the pen from his hand.

She then sighed before she looked at me smiling. Doesn't he get tired of smiling at me? No matter what behavior I show him, he still doesn't stay away from me. I ask him why he wants to be friends with me out of the many he can be friends with in this school. She said I'm kind. Like? How could I be nice to him?

"Stop smiling at me." I gritted my teeth in annoyance. I hate her when she smiles every time. Because she's like an angel sent from above.

"I can't help it, you're my friend. I should always smile at you to lift up your mood.” He said and ate the sandwich in front of me.

My eyes widened because he didn't even say goodbye and just put it in his mouth.

"Why the hell did you eat that?! That's mine."

He laughed and chewed "I thought it was me." There are two here. Usually you only buy one. So I feel that this one is mine." He grinned.

My eyes narrowed at him before taking a deep breath. I gave up! She's really getting on my nerves!

"Just accept it because you will be my friend. No matter what you do to push me, I will not go away from you. I want to be your friend so I will tolerate your rudeness. Until you accept that you have a friend named Devil.” She said and giggled afterwards.

"Stop that Villia. The name Devil doesn't suit you." I winced causing his eyes to widen in shock.

I was surprised when he suddenly stood up and shouted. My face contorted because of her so loud shout.

"Does that mean you accept me as a friend? You call me Villia and not Devil.” She smirked making me roll my eyes at her.

“Oh my goodness. Angel Kate is now my official friend. I don't dream anymore." She whispered while fanning herself.

I can't help but to look at her. She looked at me too with teary eyes. Why is she crying? She's overreacting. If she wants friendship from me then I consider her as my friend starting from now on. I only knew him for a few months but I immediately fell in love with him. Even if I find her annoying sometimes. She's so persistent to have me as her friend and I just now saw how much effort she made to make me notice her.

Even if he looks stupid. Devillia Rèmy opened my eyes and my heart to the friendship thing. I also thought about it several times. What if I tried to open myself to her. Nothing to lose, right? And if I always avoid getting hurt I won't get to know him better. I will give myself a chance to find even one friend but I know it's true. I have a checklist for friendship to test Willia.

And she completed the checklist... As I promised myself if Villia completed that checklist, I'll give her a chance. I also want to know her more and to be friends with her. I don't want to trap myself in the thought that she will eventually hurt me in the end. If she will hurt me at least I've been happy with her at some point. She gave me the friendship that I longed for a very long time. A real one. With pure intention.
