Chapter 1 - Chapter III: Growing pains

It's already twilight when johnny came home. He was waiting at the gate and he honks the car's horn. She saw him on the monitor. She was unlocking the gate When Kristan calls.

"Open sesame!" he curses while sprinkling his hands at the gate.

"Hang in there for a while." She replied on the gate speakers.

"Okay, How long?" He glared at the CCTV camera.

"This won't take long honey, I promised—"

"Is he home?" Kristan briefly asked.

"—Yes. Thank you, Kristan. You've done me a great favor..."

"...Sorry for disturbing you earlier. How about we shopped together?" She suggests reasonably.

"Maybe... some other time!?" He declined while sipping a cup of tea at the coffee shop.

She spins her eyes around while speaking with him. Johnny was playing at the doorbell button. She became irritated when the doorbell rang numerous times.

"Arggh... He's like a child!" She thought while having a conversation with Kristan.

"I have to go now!" Said Kristan.

"Me either—Okay, I understand... By the way, I have to end this call... He's waiting at the gate—"

"Toot—toot—toot—toot."

"—That bastard!? How dare he!" She said while sprinting towards the monitor room and pushing the button.

Sophie descended their giant stairs to open the door for Johnny. She takes off Johnny's jacket and gently places it at the center table of their mansion.

"What took you so long to open that stupid gate?!" He was about to burst into anger.

"Sorry... Kristan called—"

"What did he say? Is he looking for me?"

"—Wow, judging by your reaction... It seems you two are now..."

"...Super close? Well, it's been two months since you've met him, I don't blame you.

Kristan—he's a reliable friend..."

"...If you want a personal 'Assistant' he's very suitable for the job—"

"Knocked it off!" He said it in his highest voice.

She was terrified when his husband defends Kristan in front of her. She never expected that he can raise his voice for a particular person.

"My god... Are you trying to kill me with your voice?!" She was trembling in fear.

"Kristan has a decent job... Compared to you—who's wasting time on spa, and all sorts of shenanigans!" he replied while pointing out Sophie.

"Why me? Huh! Now you're comparing me... To that bastard?!" She asked him while crossing her arms on the sofa.

"This conversation is going nowhere!" He said while picking up his jacket.

"Where're you going?" She loudly asked his husband.

Johnny went into their room to pick up some clothes. While Sophie tensely and slowly walked around in circles. She was fearing unto something. Johnny descends from the stairs.

"Please! Don't leave me... I'm sorry!" She was sobbing while begging him.

"I need to cool down for a while!" He said while walking through the door.

"I'll do whatever you'll say... Just don't leave me alone in this cold and empty house!" She begged while clunging to Johnny's tighs.

He kicked Sophie away from him and bangingly closed the door. He rode his Harley and rolled out into the road. She dried up her tears and fixed herself as if nothing happened. An unknown number called her smartphone.

"Hey, sweetie... How are you?" The unknown man asked.

"I'm fine. I'm just waltzing around the mansion!" She twisted her smile while speaking on the phone.

"I thought... You already ditched me—"

"Of course not... You're my only man!" She replied with her sexy tone.

"—How's your husband?" He curiously asked.

"Hmm... Lets not talked about him for a while—"

"What happened?"

"—let's just say... We had a little misunderstanding." She answered while curling her strands.

The man asks her to come over to the mansion. She agrees without a doubt while undressing his clothes in the bathroom. She lay down in the bathtub full of rose petals while holding a glass of champagne.

"I want to see you—"

"I'm waiting, dear!"

"Now... We're talking!"

After several minutes someone knocked at the mansion's door in the middle of the night. She immediately unlocked it and kissed the man roughly. He slowly closed the door and locked it.

"Mmmmuah... I miss you!" She gazed at his eyes.

"I felt that kissed... It's been a while!" He sides while flexing his toned body.

"Let's get into the fun part... Shall we?!" She whispered at the man's left ear.

"I have an ominous feeling—"

"What's the matter?"

"I feel like we're being watched... Maybe, my imaginations playing tricks on me." He was being cautious.

"Probably it's your imagination!"

As the night goes by Johnny stays up for a night at his luxurious condominium at Athena's palace in Makati city manila. He called Kristan to comfort him on his darkest night. He immediately heeds his call.

"Which floor sir?" The front desk asked politely.

"105th-floor ma'am." He answered with his gentle voice.

"Ow, Sir Johnny's visitor—"

"Is he renting?"

"—No, he's the owner!" She lowered her voice upon answering.

He was amazingly shocked when he learned about Johnny's occupation. He rode the elevator to the 105th floor. The elevator went up fast like a lightning. He didn't realize that its already on the top floor (The penthouse) when he glanced at the floor chart.

"Hello, Johnny!" He knocked twice.

"Come inside... My love—"

"As you wish... Your Highness!" He vowed while chuckling in front of him.

"—your highness? Ow, so you knew... That's why you're acting like that." Said Johnny and then he locked the door.

"Your employee gossiped me that." He explained while taking his seat on the sofa near the sliding glass wall.

"That Lorna... She's talkative as ever—Do you like the view?" He asked as he slides the glass open.

"Yes. I do like it!" He smiles while staring at the city's night lights.

The burst of wind passes through Kristan's face. Johnny walked behind him slowly. He hopped over and sat beside him, he hold his hand as if there was no tomorrow.

"The wind breezes so cold—like it was embracing me... It makes me feel like I was flying into the infinite sky—"

"Come on ill show you something!" He grabbed his arms and went somewhere else.

"Where are we going?" He curiously asked.

"Tada—"

"An infinity pool?! He took this to his surprise.

When they were about to get undressed a man knocked on johnny's door. He was delivering the mail. He wears his boxer short and went through the door. The man delivered some sort of notice to the mailbox and immediately leaves.

"What was that?" Kristan asked while staring at the envelope.

"It's a memo that the Internet of the building was finally restored."

"That's why I couldn't reach you at your cyberspace account—"

"Yes. That's right—Now, let's get back to our business!" He explained while undressing Kristan.

Their bodies showed off entirely. They plunged into the infinity pool. They've splashed water on each other while the night is getting deeper and deeper, they don't care anymore about their love affair.

"Looked at you. Your body has been improved—"

"It's all because of you!" He replied in his medium voice.

"—Our bodies are equally buffed-up now." He gazed at Kristan's emerald eyes.

Johnny embraced Kristan as he will never let him go. Kristan kisses Johnny under the blue moon's light. Johnny's smartphone rings and brokes out the silence of the dawn.
