Jayjay'sPOV:
Omg, now I can't wait for my girls, because now I have to tell them the mattress story + pajamas story. But why do I have to tell them? They will only tease me! But now I can't back out because I've told them that I have a story, and I've texted them that now I have 2 stories.
Dumb Jayjay!
Now if I don't tell them, they will not do anything—just keep asking me.
"Ding-dong!"
Shit, they are here. Well, I'll see what happens; first, I have to welcome them. I went to the door and opened it.
"Jay!" they all yelled as they saw me.
"Can you guys please stop yelling my name whenever you see me?" I said, and all their boyfriends laughed.
"Okay, now come in," I said and stepped aside to give them some space to come in. Once they were all in, I told their boyfriends that Aries was in his room so they could go there.
"Guys, I have made a full set-up for us," I said while grinning.
"I thought that boys and girls would be together," Rakki said.
"Yeah, I thought that too," Ella added.
"Guys, it's okay, we will do our girls' night," Freya said.
"GUYS!" Grace yelled, and we gave her a look like we were saying what. "Okay, I know I overreacted, but this news will make you guys scream," she said.
"Can you tell us the news?" Mica said.
"Umm..." Grace said.
"Ummm," I said because now I was getting impatient.
"We have to be stuck here for 2 days!" she finally said in one breath.
"WHAT!!" We all yelled.
"Why?" Freya asked.
"Just kidding!" she said.
"GRACE!!!!!!!" Ella said, and we all laughed.
"Okay, c'mon, let's go to our FUN ROOM," I said, and then we started walking towards the room. When we arrived in the room:
"Girl, you dragged these big, heavy mattresses alone?" Freya asked, eyes wide.
"Nah, I'm pretty sure that Keifer helped her," Mica said in a teasing tone.
"Okay guys, let's get settled and then Jay, tell us those 2 stories," Rakki said. Then we went to the mattresses. There were 6 mattresses and we were also 6, so we took each mattress for ourselves.
I told them everything, word for word, and they all were covering their mouths with their hands.
"OMG, you went in front of him in your pajamas?" Ella asked, and I nodded.
"Then you did a tiny wave too?" Freya asked while still covering her face, and I nodded.
"Omg, you were under the mattress and he helped you get out?" Rakki asked, and I nodded. She dramatically fell back on her mattress like she was fainting.
"He helped you move the mattresses?" Grace asked, and I nodded.
"You said 'thank you' to him twice?" Mica asked, and I nodded. Then realization hit me.
"Wait, I explained everything, so why are you guys asking questions?" I asked.
"Because we wanna tease you!" Ella said in a teasing tone, and they all nodded while grinning widely. I just threw a cushion at them.
"That's why I wasn't telling you guys!" I said and pulled my blanket completely over me so they wouldn't see me blushing. I could feel my cheeks burning. They all got quiet for a while, so I decided to stay in that position for just ten minutes. Then, after eight minutes, I felt like someone was sitting on my mattress.
I was pretty sure that someone from my gang was sitting beside me.
"So Jayjay was telling us about your first meeting, and she told us that you kissed her, then she punched you, and when you tried to kiss her again, you failed because she beat you up. Is it true, Keifer?" It was Ella. Wait—did she just say KEIFER?
I hurriedly sat up and pulled the blanket down just enough to reveal my face, with my whole body still wrapped up.
"Do you think you can fool me by using his name?" I asked in annoyance.
She signaled to the space beside me, and I turned my head.
"Ahhhhh!" I screamed while jumping off my mattress. My blanket fell to the ground because I just saw that jerk sitting there, blushing. Wait, if he is here, then—
Oh shit!!!
I turned to the girls and saw Ella's boyfriend on her mattress, Rakki's on hers, Mica's on hers, Freya's on hers, Grace's on hers... and that jerk on my mattress.
The girls and their boyfriends were biting their lips to control their laughter. Even that jerk had the nerve to do it! I just smiled awkwardly and sat back down.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"Ask your friend Grace. She messaged Danzel saying we all should come here," he said. I immediately turned and looked at Grace.
"Ask Mica! She told me to," she said, pointing at Mica. I looked at Mica.
"Ask Rakki! She told me," Mica said, pointing at her. I turned to Rakki.
"Ask Freya! She told me," Rakki said, pointing at her. I turned to Freya.
"Ask Ella. It was her plan," she said. I looked at Ella. She just smiled at me.
"Why are all these men here?" I asked her.
"I was getting bored, so I decided to call them all here so we could spend the night together," she said in one breath.
"You didn't get bored at your home?" I asked.
"Nope, because my siblings are there," she said.
"Well, we were here!" I argued.
"But you guys were just on your phones," she said. I just sighed.
"Okay, so you'll all sleep in the other room, right?" I asked the boys.
"No, these mattresses are so big that four people could easily fit. So, I'm sleeping with Ella," Aries said.
"I'm with Freya," David said.
"I'm with Rakki," Yuri said.
"I'm with Mica," Calix said.
"And I'm with Grace," Danzel said.
I sighed and turned to Keifer. "And you're on the sofa."
"Not gonna happen," he said.
"Why not?" I asked. He signaled with his eyes for me to look at the sofa. When I looked, my jaw dropped.
"Who moved the snacks there?" I asked, giving everyone a "death glare."
"They were on Grace's mattress and I wanted to sit, so I put them on Mica's," Danzel said.
"I wanted to sit, so I put them on Rakki's," Calix added.
"I wanted to sit, so I put them on Freya's," Yuri said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"I wanted to sit, so I put them on Ella's," David said quickly.
"And I wanted to sit, so I just put them on the sofa," Aries finished.
"OMG!!! You guys are insane! I'm going to my room," I said, getting up. Suddenly, someone pulled me back down. It was "Horoscope."
"What?" I asked.
"You can't leave like this; it's impolite. Just sit here," he whispered. He was right, so I had no choice but to sit there with Mr. Arrogant.
"Okay, okay! Let's play Truth or Dare!" Rakki said, clapping her hands to grab everyone's attention.
"Okie!" we all girls said.
"Okay," all the boys agreed.
"But you have to take a sip of your drink if you don't want to answer the truth," Ella said, and we all nodded.
After that, we all sat in a circle. Somehow, they all managed to give me the seat next to Keifer. We were sitting like this:
Keifer,Aries
Me. Ella
Rakki Freya.
Yuri. David
Calix. Danzel
Mica,Grace
Rakki spun the bottle and it landed on Calix. He chose truth.
"Do you love someone other than Mica? If yes, then who?" Ella asked.
"Yeah, I love someone else—and she is my mother," he replied so confidently. Mica was smiling.
The bottle spun again, and this time it landed on Yuri. He chose dare.
"Spin Rakki in the air," Keifer said. Wait—he knows some naughty dares! Yuri spun Rakki around—omg—and Ella was recording it. After putting her down, they both came back to their spots.
"This is going viral," Ella said.
The bottle spun again. This time it landed on Grace, and she chose truth.
"Do you have any celebrity crush?" Rakki asked.
"No," she said.
The bottle spun again and landed on Ella. She chose truth.
"Who do you love the most: us girls or your boyfriend?" I asked this time.
"Umm, my girls! Because if I hadn't met you, then I wouldn't have met Aries," she said. We all went "Aww!"
Then we spun the bottle again. This time it landed on Mica, and she chose dare.
"Send a picture of you and Calix to that relative who doesn't know you're in a relationship," Grace said. And she actually did it!
The bottle spun and landed on Rakki. She chose dare.
"Who do you love the most: Yuri or his mother?" Aries asked. She didn't want to answer that, so she took a sip of her cold drink.
The bottle spun and landed on Danzel. He chose dare.
"If you had to make a big life decision, who would you ask: us boys or your girlfriend?" David asked.
"My girlfriend, because I have to live with her—not YOU GUYS!" he said, and all us girls laughed.
The bottle spun again and landed on David. He chose truth.
"Do you have a crush on someone?" Aries asked.
"No," he said.
The bottle spun again and landed on Aries. He chose truth.
"Who do you love after Ella?" I asked.
"You," he said immediately.
"Oh, my dear best brother!" I said.
Then the bottle spun and landed on me. Oh shit—why are they all grinning so wide?
"So, how many people do you love? Explain by numbers and tell us their names too," Ella said, grinning.
"My first love is my Papa, then my Mom, then my brothers, and then my white blood cells," I said. They all smiled at me except the boys.
"Who are white blood cells?" Keifer asked.
"Well, it's none of your business, but I'll tell you anyway—they're my girls," I said.
I spun the bottle and it landed on Keifer. He chose dare.
"Pick Jay up bridal style and then rub your nose against hers for one minute," Yuri said.
"Hey, no!" I protested, but I lost the argument and we had to do it. We both stood up and he lifted me. Then he leaned down to brush his nose against mine. I closed my eyes—I don't know why—and then he whispered, "Why are you closing your eyes? Do you want me to kiss you?"
I hit his chest, and after one minute, he put me down. We started the game again, but why did the bottle land on me again?!
"Kiss Keifer," Freya said.
"No," I said.
"It's the dare!" she said.
"No," I insisted.
"Yes!" she said.
"Okay, Jay, just kiss him on the cheeks—but both of them," Ella said.
I sighed and nodded. Freya clapped her hands. I leaned in and kissed both of his cheeks.
After the game, we decided to watch the horror movie. We all huddled back onto our mattresses. I played the movie, but I was already regretting it. Every time the music got loud, I pulled the blanket over my eyes.
"Are you scared?" Keifer whispered from beside me.
"No," I lied. But then a huge jump-scare happened and I screamed, accidentally falling right against his shoulder. Our eyes met in the dark. The TV light was reflecting in his eyes, and for a second, it felt like the whole world had stopped.
"Ohhhhhhhh!" the whole gang yelled. They weren't even watching the movie anymore! We pulled away quickly. My cheeks were on fire, and even in the dark, I could see his ears were red.
"Ella, did you take pictures?" Rakki teased.
"Yeah, I got the perfect one!" she laughed.
"Shut up and watch the movie!" I snapped, trying to hide my face.
After a while, the room got quiet. One by one, everyone fell asleep. Ella was snoring lightly on Aries, and the others were all curled up. It was just me and Keifer left. The ghost came on screen again, looking terrifying. I jumped and clutched his arm without thinking.
"Are you scared?" he asked again. This time his voice was soft, not teasing. I just nodded.
Without a warning, he pulled me into his embrace, wrapping his arm around me. I thought I would pull away, but I didn't. I felt so safe and warm. Why do I feel like this with him? I wondered. But I was too tired to think. Before I knew it, my eyes got heavy, and I fell asleep right there in his arms.
