Chapter 14 - Holp up

Becky looked up at Freen, who was sitting in the bed in the room that Becky had brought her into, and said, "Urgh, Freen, please." Freen was peering at Becky, who was seated in front of her.

Freen stared into Becky's speaking eyes while her hands held her tightly. Freen felt a sense of comfort and security in her presence, as if nothing could harm her as long as she was by her side. '' Promise me, you won't get mad at me?'' Freen said with begging eyes and smiled in the end, which made Becky's eyes narrow.

''Heh. I was already expecting we were in trouble before you said it; I just want you to enlighten me as to what kind of trouble we are in.'' Becky said with a smirk and bored eyes as she withdrew her hand from holding Freen's hand, got up from where she was sitting, and stretched her body to ease the numbness in her legs that she was starting to feel.

"I hope it's not something too boring. I need some excitement in my life." As her back made a cracking sound, Becky put her hands at her waist and bent her back.

Freen looked away again, saying, " I hope you find some excitement soon, but for now, let's focus on your back and get you some relief." feeling ashamed, as Becky knows her too well to already know things before she told her .

"Haha .'' Becky nodded in agreement, grateful for Freen's concern and expertise in relieving her back pain. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, ready to let Freen work her magic, and Becky turned her back to Freen to let her start massaging her back.

Freen used to do that back in the days when they didn't have to think of the people who were trying to work out some issues with their closeness.

"Now, stop avoiding the question, and just tell me what it is that you do that puts us in trouble." Becky continued, not letting Freen get away from her questions again.

"Hehe," chuckled Freen nervously, "I guess I have a tendency to speak my mind without considering how it might affect others." But I promise to work on being more mindful in the future, and as you notice what happened back at the station, I kind of made a little burst out in response to Blew's action back there that will surely make a few people mad at me and you. Freen honestly answered, but she chose not to go into detail about what really happened to make her do such a thing.

''Now I wonder , what made me part on your public love quarrel as I remember I was just about to get home but some jealous old friends made it all complicated for me to get home in peace.'' Becky said teasingly to her friend while wondering what her connection is to Blew and Freen's issue now that she just came back and has an issue again.Becky tried to lighten the mood with a joke, but she couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the situation than what Freen was letting on. She made a mental note to keep an eye on things and see if she could uncover any additional information. 

''Aah.'' Becky couldn't help but moan when Freen started massaging her from her lower back, slowly going up to the side of her breast, and her fingers were accidentally grazing it, which put shivers through her whole body.

Freen stopped hearing Becky's moan. "Do you want me to continue?'' Freen didn't know why, but she felt a sudden rush of desire, and her heart started racing as she waited for Becky's response. She suddenly felt something heating up in her body as she heard Becky's moan.

"I mean, yes,y- yes, if it's not a burden to you," was Becky's response after clearing her throat, realizing what she just did but trying to play it cool, thinking it was just a natural reaction as Freen's way of massaging was really relieving. Freen smiled, feeling a sense of satisfaction knowing that she was able to help Becky relax. "Don't worry, it's no burden at all. I'm glad I can make you feel better," she said softly as she continued with the massage.

Freen was relieved that Becky didn't ask further, but "Freen, I really need to call home." "My family might be dying to know where I am, especially my mother," Becky said.

"I know, and I am not stopping you from doing so," was Freen's answer.

''Yeah. As you can see, my bag is with Kirk right now, and my phone is in there. That's why I asked for your phone earlier in the car, but you were being stubborn as always.'' Becky answered.

"I'm sorry about that. Then why didn't you just tell me that earlier so that I could give it to you?" Freen answered with a high-toned annoyance that can be heard in her tone.

Becky pushed Freen's hand away from her shoulder, turned around, and glared at her. ''Really, you think so?'' Becky said with sarcasm in her voice.

''Why are you looking at me like that ? I was really willing to lend you the phone . I'm sorry if my expression gave you the wrong impression," Freen said in defense. ''It's just that I received some bad calls earlier, and it's been bothering me." Not looking back into Becky's judging eyes.

''Yeah, Right. You mean you are afraid of me knowing the truth and also of reality, that you can't face the fact that you just blew everything off, and you are also afraid of people's judgment, which is why you can't get your phone out. You are scared because you just realized what you did.'' Becky's words pierce Freen's chest. How does she think of it that way? She thought. "That's not it at all," she replied, feeling defensive. "I just need some time to process everything and figure out how to move forward."

They are now glaring at each other, and the tension in the room is palpable. It's clear that something needs to be said to diffuse the situation before it escalates any further. No one is willing to back down.

Becky is skeptical of Freen's reasoning, and Freen was hurt by how Becky was easily judging her without knowing what really happened.

''Tell me,what really happened earlier?'' Becky exhaled and softened her face, realizing she might be a little bit unfair to Freen, knowing Freen wouldn't do anything stupid that would ruin her reputation as it would not only affect her but also the company .

Freen was taken aback by what Becky just asked her

Freen explained that she was caught in a difficult situation and had to make a quick decision, but she understands why Becky was concerned. She suggested they work together to find a solution that satisfies everyone involved.

Becky can't stop smiling after hearing what Freen just did back there; she can't help but feel guilty about how she acted towards Freen earlier without knowing what had happened.

"Okay, that explains everything," says Becky, content with what Freen just revealed to her.

''You think?'' Freen is now the one being sarcastic with Becky.

"I am sorry okay, I didn't know. " Becky realizes that she misjudged Freen and apologizes for her behavior.

"Apology accepted" Freen forgives her and also smiled.

The room fell silent with them as they both stared at each other, realizing the gravity of the situation. The tension in the air was palpable, and neither of them knew what to say next, sitting side by side at the edge of the bed. And they both looked down on the floor; their hands are both on their sides; it almost touched each of their hands, and Freen looked up at the ceiling and started swinging her feet while Becky was admiringly staring at Freen while absentmindedly smiling.

''What? "Freen turns to face Becky after noticing her intense stare.

"I didn't realize you were so eager to be with me," Becky teased Freen, causing her to flush and look away.

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Freen said, continuing to look away.

"Hmmm.. let's see." Becky said with a teasing tone.

"Nah, stop it. "Freen said as Becky was threatening to tickle her.

"Stop what?" Becky said acting like a fool while slowly leaning to her.

"No Rebecca stop it." Freen sternly warned Becky but Becky didn't stop but she finally get to tickle Freen.

"Aaah..hahaha..get off me please.."Freen were rolling on the bed trying to get rid of Becky on top of her tickling her to death.

" No I am not gonna let you go this is your punishment to all the years that I suffer because of you" Said Becky that made Freen stop laugh.

To prevent Becky from tickling her, Freen seized her wrists. By what Freen did, Becky was astounded. Becky was sitting on Freen's stomach when she saw Freen smirking at her, and it took her breath away. She had never seen Freen act so assertively before, and it made her wonder what else he was capable of. As she tried to wriggle free, Becky couldn't help but feel a little intimidated by her friend's sudden display of strength.

Freen then changed their position by rolling their body on the bed, and now is already on top of her, which made her take a deep breath. She felt a rush of excitement mixed with fear as Freen's weight pressed down on her, and she couldn't help but wonder where this unexpected moment would lead them. As their eyes locked in a moment of intense intimacy, Becky's heart raced with anticipation of what was to come next.

As Freen leaned in, Becky was ready to risk it all and close her eyes, expecting a kiss, but "I'm sorry for those times I hurt you .'' Freen whispers in her ears instead.

"Let's go back; they might be looking for us already." Becky's said she doesn't know why she felt upset; of course, Freen won't do it, as she always just sees her as her little sister.

She pushes Freen away from her body and stands up from the bed, leaving Freen dumbfounded and still feeling dizzy. Freen quickly realizes that Becky is serious and follows her out of the room. As they make their way back, Freen wonders what could have caused Becky to suddenly become upset with her.

Becky was still thinking about it while dancing with the gang in one of the exclusive bars in this beach resort. She occasionally looked in Freen and Saint's direction—the two who were sitting there alone and talking seriously. Becky wondered what they were discussing and if it had anything to do with her, but she didn't want to interrupt their conversation. As the night went on, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. Becky's mind was preoccupied with thoughts about Freen and Saint, making it hard for her to enjoy the night. She decided to approach them later and find out what was going on. 

On the other hand, Saint was talking to Freen about the issue and what she would say in the press conference he set to clear her and Becky's names on the issue. Saint and Freen were discussing the possible repercussions of the press conference and how it could affect their reputation in the industry. They also strategized on how to handle any potential backlash from the public and media.

But Freen was just focused on Becky's direction. As she dances with the group, Becky's beauty stands out in the crowd.

What happened yesterday in the bedroom still haunts Freen; she really wanted to kiss Becky at that time. Good thing she had gathered the strength not to. She can even feel that Becky is acting differently, but she knows that the younger girl was just playing it cool, and if she has done things in that moment, maybe Becky won't be near here anymore in disgust, and she can't afford for that to happen. She just got Becky back in her life; she can't let this stupid attraction towards the younger girl ruin it all. Freen is struggling to control her feelings towards Becky and is afraid that acting on them would ruin their friendship. She knows that it's important to maintain a healthy relationship with Becky and doesn't want to risk losing her again.

''For god's sake, Freen, are you even listening to me?'' Saint said frustratedly. Freen looked at Saint and nodded, "Sorry, I got distracted. What were you saying?" Saint sighed and repeated what he had just said, hoping Freen would pay attention this time.

But Freen was now having creased brows and clenching her fist, glaring in Becky's direction Saint noticed Freen's changed mood and followed where she was looking.

"You really are hopeless." Saint sighed and slumped his shoulders in defeat, just getting his drink and leaning his back on the couch.

Seeing Becky do a sexy dance and a random guy dance beside her made Saint smirk as he now discovered what had changed Freen's mood so suddenly. He took a sip of his drink and decided to let Freen handle the situation herself. As he watched the drama unfold, he couldn't help but feel a little entertained by it all.

Freen was so quick to get Becky off the dance floor. The guy who was dancing beside Becky was now on the floor with a bleeding nose. The three were now preventing people from taking pictures of what just happened. Freen seemed to have anticipated trouble and acted swiftly. It was unclear what led to the altercation, but it was obvious that things had gotten out of hand.

While Saint was still amazed at what Freen just did there, as Freen was approaching, dragging Becky behind her, coming near their seat, Saint stood up and clapped his hands as he applauded Freen's bravery when it came to Becky.

''Shut up.'' Freen blocked him from saying anything before leaving him after taking their things off the seat, and Saint was left there still shaking his head in response to Freen's action this night.
