Chapter 24 - The Pictures.

Keifer's Pov

I left my room and looked for Jay. Keigan's room? Nah, Keiren's room? He wouldn't let her anyway since its covered with his crushes pictures. Well, back to the mission: finding Jay.

I went down the hall and saw Jay sleeping on the couch. Aww so cute, I walked toward her and piggy backed her. She wouldn't let me pick her up in the bridal style anyway.

I went back to my room and saw Keiren still hanging out in my room. 

"What are you doing here?, go to your room." I ordered.

He nodded teasingly after seeing Jay-Jay on my back. I placed Jay on the bed as he left the room, covered her with a blanket. I laid down with her, Mission accomplished.

Jay-Jay's Pov

I awoke to the violent torrent of rain, each strike against the earth echoing like war drums in the fading light. I glanced around, noticing I had been asleep on the couch. How had I come to be here? Then I felt the man's lips at the back of my ear, and suddenly, everything made sense.

Keifer your a true asshole. Heavens, I had been asleep with him all along? HOLY SHIT!.

I checked the time, 5.19 PM?! Kuya's gonna kill me. I rose from the bed, but a hand caught mine, holding me back.

"Jay, the rain is far too heavy tonight. Stay here with me." he said, his voice gentle, his eyes yet not free from sleep.

"Get up and take me home, its.." I stopped and checked the time, 5.21 PM already?, "5.21 PM hurry!," I said.

"Fine," he said slowly rising up from the bed. He walked lazily to the wardrobe, pulled out a jacket, and slipped it on.

"Let's go!," I said in a hurried tone.

We left his room and hurried down the hall. 

"The weather conditions are extremely dangerous at the moment. Our forecasts show that the city will experience flooding for at least the next twenty-four hours," the weather forecaster said through the TV. My shoulders slumped, weighed down by the sadness in his words.

"I suppose you'll have no choice but to stay here tonight," he said, a playful smirk tugging at his lips.

I sighed, then reached for my phone to tell Kuya about it. 

📩To Demon

[Kuya, I not come 🏠 tdy. The weather is ⛈️, no worry I not coming 🏠 like this 🤰.]

I could not deny it—I missed my typing style, simple yet mine.

📩From Demon

[I don't understand.]

I sighed, my voice low as I whispered, "You will never understand." I slipped my phone gently into my pocket.

"Anyways, what do you want for dinner?," "Keifer inquired softly, slipping his jacket from his shoulders with unhurried grace.

"I'm not in the mood to eat." I said, careful not to say the word anything, knowing he would only tease me for it.

"Jay, you haven't ate lunch and now you don't want to eat dinner?," he asked me.

I lost my appetite because of you..,I offered no reply and turned to leave. I went upstairs and stepped into Keifer's room. I chose to inspect his drawers and slid the first one open. The first thing I saw was.. ME WEARING THE SEXY SANTA CLAUS COSTUME. SERIOUSLY? DID HE HAVE TO PRINT THOSE PICTURES?!.. KEIFER..YOU.ARE.DEAD.

I need a plan.. okay wait, Step-1 Act all grumpy.. Step-2 Show him the pictures.. Step-3 KILL HIM- Well, I don't think that's possible.

I slid on of them into my pocket and then suddenly my phone started ringing. Kuya? I pressed the answer button.

[Jay, why aren't you home yet?] he asked, clearly worried.

"Are you crazy right now? look outside its raining like crazy and the weather forecaster said that the city is gonna be flooded for at least 24 hours." I replied.

[Still..everyone's been worried about you, and you don't have to be mad at me,] he said, trying to be calm.

I sighed, "Tell everyone that I'll be staying at Keifer's house for a DAY," I pressed the button and ended the call. How can I not be mad? Does he not know that its raining violently?..

Aishhh.. SO ANNOYING!!.. Anyways back to the mission.

I opened the door casually and stepped out of Keifer's room. Once again, for what seemed the hundredth time, I made my way down the hall. Keifer was sitting on the couch, looking at his phone.

"What are you doing?," I asked him.

He quickly hid the phone, "Oh, nothing..," he said awkwardly. My brows drew together, and even my eyes seemed to squint in protest. 

He's hiding something..

I headed into the kitchen and drank some water. By the plan's design, I was to keep silent and avoid him entirely, so he'd come up to me, ask if I was okay, and then I'd show him the pictures—you know what comes next.

I felt someone's presence behind me.. YES! The plans working!. I turned around and there was NO ONE?!..

I heard the refrigerator door creak open. Wait—was it opening on its own?!.. I shifted, turning just enough to face the refrigerator. Suddenly, the lights were cut off, plunging the room into darkness.

That was it for me to faint.

Keifer's Pov

Thud..

I heard something fall heavily to the ground, and my heart skipped a beat. What was that. With trembling hands, I pushed the refrigerator door shut.

Jay?, In a panic, I hurried to her side, desperately calling her name as I tried to wake her.

Jay-Jay's Pov

I woke to the sensation of being shaken—by none other than that annoying, flirty freak.

"Oyy, stop, I'm awake okay?," I said as I sat up.

Ohh wait.. THE PICTURES..

I slipped a hand into my pocket and pulled out the pictures. "Care to explain these?".
