Together

Jay's POV

We were preparing to leave for the Christmas party, I was so excited as it was my first celebration in college in which I'm truly happy and I want to enjoy it wholeheartedly. Especially when, him, Keifer is here with me, and I was just taking a glance of myself in the mirror, well I'm looking more beautiful than I assumed, he might like it.

I heard footsteps approaching my room, it must be Keifer and I noticed a natural blush on my face, I'm literally crazy. I was thinking it must be Keifer but it's Ci-N and wanted me to set his necktie. This kid will never stop annoying me, and soon Keifer joins him in teasing me. These two idiots, but tbh I'm happy, my life is lightening up again, not just four walls and work anymore.

Ci-N left and his not so mature adopted father getting possessive over a necktie, "you don't want me to look presentable", I sighed and went near him, damn this Burj Khalifa, I was making the nod of his necktie, and this jerk was continuously staring at me, distracting me completely. On the top, he's looking so handsome, the chiseled features, perfect jawline and wavy hairs. I always used to think why he's so handsome in school, but now I'm glad he's cause now he's mine.

I shook my head to come into the real world again, but he's still in his wonderland and that smirk on his face was revealing all his thoughts, I know he must be thinking of, I choked him with the tie, "do you want to kill me?". I chuckled, and he followed me, "do you think I'm looking good", even if I want to, I can't deny, my burning cheeks were revealing everything.

He passed a big smile, "you know I always imagined you in school dress or in my hoodies, never like this", I know I never liked wearing dresses but it's you for whom I wanted to look beautiful, "so should I change into one". He nods, "well... it's your wish, anyways you're going to be same Jay who used to play with kicks and punches".

This man instead of praising my looks, just taunting me, he just knows how to irritate me, "I hate you", he pulled me closer, "what?", behaving like he doesn't know anything, I get out of his grip, "don't you know how to complement? or you think that I'm not beautiful". He smiled a bit, "beautiful?" , like he's really questioning, I clenched my jaws to control the anger surging into me.

He bent down a bit to make a perfect eye contact, "beautiful that's an understatement for you, sweetheart! even a beautiful girl has to be complemented like you're looking like Jay". Is this man for real, "seems like a fairy just get off a beautiful chariot and enlightening my life", from where he's getting all those words, "and see the fate of this insignificant human, his eyes are blessed with such a heavenly look". {well only looks good in books, I'd have kicked a man who'll get this corny fr}.

He literally left me speechless, I know he's always good with words but now he's become better. What if he had too many girls around when he's not with me, I shook my head as he took my hands into his and rubbed my knuckles, "I'm jealous of all those eyes who are going to see you". I sighed, "so you're going to hide me". He nods, "no, you just walk like a fire, I'll take out the eyes which will look at you".

I was literally overwhelmed with his words, this was too much of him, but it's a good feeling, Watson being obsessed with me, he cupped my face, "it doesn't matter what you wear, I'm gonna love you until scientists find the end of the universe". I smiled but the moment was spoiled by Ci-N, "can you guys be a little fast or I'd change and sleep".

Finally, we reached the venue, when we entered the party hall, he extended his arm and gestured to me to hold that, I tried to ignore it but no one could escape that crazy man's eyes and I wrapped hands around his arms. I looked at Ci-N, and he pouted, so I wrapped another hand around him.

Isla and Robin were twinning and blushing, ,"finally you two confessed too", Isla nods but her instant realisation, "what do you mean by too?", her observation, I rubbed my head but Keifer smirked, and pulled me by my waist, "too", this man is really shameless, I had no other option then just affirming.

The party announcer informs me about multiple games, Ci-N dragged me towards the shooting game, I won him a big snorlax , he's literally happy with that. What does Rakki see in him to be his girlfriend. My eyes went on a lie detector test, and my intelligent brain sent the message, my nerve cells became active and I moved towards Keifer, who was just using his phone.

I stood near him, he kept his phone back in pocket "were you texting someone", he denied but kept his arm around my shoulder, "are you enjoying?". Of course I'm and I just want to add some more and I dragged him towards the game, "do it". He scoffed, "tss...childish, why do I've to do this". I made an innocent face, "for me". He can't say no to me. He sits for it.

He looked at me, "ask?", I started with an easy level, "are you happy?", he nodded, "of course, you're with me", Green light, and gradually our classmates surrounded us and hooted. I moved further and asked some basic questions, all were green, he's such a green flag. And the question I wanted to ask, "have you dated anyone else other than me". He became silent for a moment, then said yes and green light again, "don't you know, I had a break up when we just met".

I remember, it's Eman's sister, "other than her?", he nods, "how does it matter, when it's only you whom I love", and again the green light. Everyone teased us, even I was happy at least he was honest but a little unsatisfied with his last answer, however we're together right now, that's what is important.

Ben approached me, "Merry Christmas", I reverted with a smile, he's casually talking, and soon Keifer joined the conversation and shook hands with him , it's more like competitors shaking hands before a match, something is happening which I'm not aware of.

The announcer calls for talents, and Keifer holds my hands, "it's been a long, let's sing together", I denied, "I'm not sure, I've stopped it since you're..", he still dragged me, "you can do this". He starts with,

"You're a precious gem of my life,Like a gift from heaven.And brightening up my dark cosmos;Without you, I'm nothing,Even your single glance matters in a way you can't imagine"

I smiled, and joined him

"You and I tied together, like a moon shine with the glow of the sun.the way destiny weaves our path;And brought us together,maybe it's all written".

We both sang together,

"Your presence is what made me worthy,Can we stay together.no matter if life is good or becomes worselet's love each other,until the scientists find the end of the universe".

And the whole hall was filled up with applauses; the surge of emotions was high and dopamine level just crossing its limits. I was so happy today and Kiefer's smile was wide as well, we found the peace again, we found each other again. Without a moment I locked my lips with Keifer's, he was shocked at first then joined me, and all we could hear was the hooting of the others.

As the feast started, Robin was flirting with Isla, thank God Keifer didn't get too cheap like this in public and soon he wrapped his hands around my shoulders, but his actions were unpredictable.

Robin soon argued with Isla, "so do you think, I'm not most handsome?", Isla nods, "of course, I'm just honest", I chuckled, he turn to me, "what do you think?", Isla smirked, "tell him", I looked at Keifer, and nods, he must be thinking I'll take his name. "it's Andres Muhlach". He squeezed his eyes, "more than me?", he asked while rolling his sleeves. Isla asked, "isn't he an actor".

I smiled, "yes, he's, and most handsome", he took a deep breath, "I'll see that guy, you're still choosing him over me", I laughed, "no compromise in that". And now, we're arguing and they both were looking at us, Ci-N interrupted, "my parents are little crazy", and all ended up laughing.

After the great party we reached our building, this was the best day of my life, I can't explain the kind of happiness, it seems like everything is getting sorted. God's been blessing us finally, after giving these many tests we are together, I held Keifer hands, he tightens his grip around mine and soon we left the elevator, and moved towards our apartment, Ci-N was ahead of us and I got call from Aries, "Merry Christmas", he wished me back.

Ci-N took the keys to open the door, Me and Keifer were walking slowly in the corridor as I was on the call, my leg froze [I'm waiting for you], what? he's here suddenly, soon Ci-N came back by running, Aries was behind him. He was looking a bit excited but soon his expressions changed into shock, his eyes widened, lips sealed, like someone just used fewiquik.

I was still holding Keifer's hand, Aries moved towards us, looked at me then Keifer, and before we realised anything he punched Keifer's face too hard, that he almost fell, even Aries's own hand was injured. I held Keifer, "Aries, stop it". His eyes were aggressive, jaws clenched and he again folded his fists, but I came in between him and Keifer, "wait!!.

I asked Ci to take him inside the home, I saw Keifer's lip bleeding a bit, I wiped it off and we headed towards home.

Aries was literally fuming and of course it's natural even though I was this much angry over Keifer when I first saw him, but he needs to understand the situation. Keifer approached him, "Aries, listen to me", again he pushed Keifer, "what? do you really think that it's all a game? a joke? our friendship is a joke? my sister's life is a joke?". He looked at me, "you're always a rebel.. then why are you with him again, when he did...just lied to you, to us every time?".

To Be Continued...
