Chapter 5 - Chapter 5; Hearbreak

Yana POV

The semester is almost over, and the semestral break is coming up next week. Everything is going well, and our grades are good.

It turns out that what they said about being in a relationship negatively affecting our studies isn't true. Instead, it provides inspiration to study harder.

I looked at my final grades, and they were excellent compared to previous semesters. I smiled.

Later, Kiel and I will celebrate with a dinner at his condo. It will be my first time visiting there. Kiel respects me, and he has never put me at a disadvantage.

I stopped by the mall to shop for a dress for the dinner. I didn't have a formal dress since I mostly owned t-shirts and jeans.

It caught my attention a casual dress, a midi off-shoulder cocktail dress. I tried on the dress and showed it to the sales lady, asking her, "Does it look good on me?" She replied, "Yes, ma'am. You look beautiful. The dress suits you perfectly, especially with your fair complexion and slightly tall stature and you would look even more beautiful, ma'am, if you take off your glasses and have some loose curls in your hair , your face is small and beautiful, so I'm sure your date would be charmed by it.She mentioned that with sense of admiration.

I thanked the sales lady and paid at the counter. I also bought a 3-inch black high-heeled sandal. I pondered about what the sales lady said to remove my glasses. I went to the optical store and had my eyes checked for suitable lenses for me.Afterward, I decided to get myself fixed up at the salon. I felt good about it. Does a woman really become more beautiful when in love? Luckily, I had some savings, so I treated myself to these things. Before, I used to regret spending on these things and would allocate the money for tuition and dorm rent whenever I had some.

Kiel POV.

After setting up and cooking the dishes for about our dinner with Yana, I took a shower and prepared to pick her up from her dorm. I put on a formal blue polo shirt and a pair of jeans, then styled my hair with some gel. I looked around and saw a table prepared with various dishes, a candle in the middle that was not yet lit, and rose petals and balloons scattered around. I even called an event organizer to help me set it up. The surroundings were beautiful, fitting for someone like Yana. I was excited to pick her up to see this.

I knocked on Yana's dorm door three times, holding a single rose for her. The door opened, and there stood my incredibly beautiful girlfriend. I  left speechless and in awe, unable to utter a word, as I stared at her exquisite transformation .Let's go," she said, unlocking my senses. "I'm sorry, I'm speechless. My girlfriend is  incredibly beautiful,

" I managed to utter, and I immediately handed her the rose.She smiled at my comment and immediately suggested that we leave.

While I was driving, I can't  let go of her hands., "You know, it's more comfortable to drive when both hands are on the steering wheel."she said with a chuckle, ""I don't think I can remove my hand from your soft hand," I said with a smile.

I still held her hand as we went up to the floor of my condo. This is the first time I've been so deeply in love with a woman. I love my girlfriend so much, and I'm willing to give her everything just to make her happy. I glanced at her while we were in the elevator, expressing how incredibly beautiful she is. Unable to control myself, I stole a discreet kiss on her cheek.I covered her eyes with a blindfold before we entered the dorm. "Hmm, smells cheesy," she remarked with a grin. "It's a surprise for my beautiful girlfriend," I replied.

I removed the blindfold as we entered inside. "Surprise," I said to her. I saw her filled with wonder and her eyes sparkled with delight.

Did you do this for me?" she said, her voice filled with emotion. "Yes, I did this for my perfect girlfriend. I love you, Kat, and I want to see you happy always," I replied. Kat embraced me tightly after I expressed my feelings.Our dinner was filled with conversation and laughter, her laughter like music to my ears. I turned on some music and we danced a sweet dance together.I lost track of how many minutes we were dancing, our eyes locked as if we didn't want to be apart. We could smell each other's breath. I wanted to kiss her, not just a simple peck like I usually do, but a passionate kiss to taste her lips.I want to savor your lips," I whispered as I gazed into her eyes, bidding her permission.She didn't respond and suddenly let go of me, heading towards the sofa. I felt a bit saddened and embarrassed. Perhaps she's not yet ready for that kind of intimacy.I don't want to struggle with our first kiss. You're a bit taller, so I would need to look up. Maybe it would be more comfortable if we're both seated," she said with a smile.I smiled at what she said and took a seat beside her. We locked eyes once again, and she softly said, "Kiss me, Kiel."Slowly, I brought my face closer to hers, maintaining eye contact as I gently pressed my lips against hers. I savored the taste of her lips, I  feel the nervousness in her body. She followed the movements of my lips, mimicking their every motion. I slid my tongue into her mouth, and she let out a soft moan in response.

I felt her grip tighten around her waist, and I could sense the intense heat running through my body. As a man, I couldn't help but let my mind wander to what might happen next. My lips moved passionately to her neck causing her moans to grow louder. I waited for any sign of disapproval, but I heard none, so I continued to kiss her neck. I slipped my hand inside her clothing, wanting to feel the warmth of her body.Ilove you, Yana," I whispered to her as I slowly unhooked the clasp of her bra from behind. "I love you too, Kiel," she replied. I asked her, "Is it okay?" while holding the clasp of her bra. "Please, continue," she said with her eyes closed.As I unhooked her bra, I slowly removed her clothing, still waiting for any signs of objection from her. But I heard nothing. I brought my lips closer to her chest, and she tugged at my hair, urging me not to stop. I teased her nipple with my tongue, eliciting a pleasurable response from her. I played with her breasts for a while before slowly returning to kissing her. "Please let me know if you want me to stop," I said to her before passionately kissing her lips, fueled by desire.

I didn't hear any response from her, so I slowly placed my hand between her thighs.I slowly started to remove her panties, but I felt her hand stopping me. "I think it's still too early for that, Kiel," she said. Her words awakened my senses, making me realize the importance of respecting her boundaries.I'm sorry, Yana, I couldn't control myself," I apologized, feeling remorseful for my actions.I sensed the tremor in her voice and her trembling.

Your trembling Yana, I said with a worry voice

"Yes, but I'll be okay," she replied, trying to reassure me. She smiled and embraced me.I'm enjoying our time together, Kiel, and I care about you, but I'm not yet ready for those things," she explained. I assured her that I understood and that I was willing to wait however long it takes. She slowly put her dress back on her body, then embraced me once again. We're lying on the sofa, embracing each other,

"Yana , I want you to meet my family. I want to introduce you as the woman who will be my wife." I said to her She responded, "Really?When can we do that?" Her voice carried a mix of excitement and curiosity.Next week, on Wednesday, we have a dinner reservation at a restaurant, and I want to bring you along to introduce you to them. I smiled and said

, "Sure, I agree.She said .

Thank you, Yana," as I kissed her on the lips. Then I asked, "Hmm how about you when will you introduce me to your parents?"I asked

, "I can introduce you to my mom anytime you want. It's easy to come to our place whenever you're ready." She replied.,

I waited for her to share her family stories, but I didn't hear anything from her. So, I carried on and shared about my life in London and our move to the US. I looked at her and realized she had fallen asleep. I gently rested her head on my shoulder as she leaned on me for support

I lifted her up and transferred her to my bed. I stepped out of the room and extinguished the candle. After changing and tidying up, I returned to her side and embraced her. "My love, you must be tired," I whispered as I gazed at her peacefully sleeping form.

Yana POV

I woke up to find myself being embraced by Kiel. I remembered what happened last night and couldn't help but smile. "I didn't make a mistake in loving you, Kiel," I whispered in my thoughts.

I gazed at him and gently kissed his forehead. I noticed that it was already 5 in the morning. I wanted to wake him up to say goodbye, but I decided against it to not disturb his sleep. Instead, I left a note on his table that said, "My love, I didn't wake you up. I'm going home. I love you." I went home and took a shower.

Butch messaged me, saying we should meet on campus to get his final grade results together. He didn't receive them immediately because one of his projects was delayed.

After we finished retrieving Butch's subjects, we bumped into Tristan. "Hi, Yana, Hi cousin," Tristan greeted us. "Hello, Tristan," we replied. He asked us when we were going home. , "We're going home next Friday. We still have some things to take care of." Butch responded.

I wanted to have a private conversation with Yana, so Butch looked at me and excused himself, leaving us alone.We found ourselves back in a coffee shop we had been to before.How are our final grades, Tristan?" I asked him right away. He shrugged his shoulders and didn't say much, and I sensed that something might be wrong. I didn't press him further, knowing that there might be something bothering him.

That's why I'm here, because I have something serious to say about you and Kiel," he said earnestly.

What is it ? I asked him '.

Do you remember when Marlon borrowed your laptop because he said he needed to send something? He asked me .

Yes, I remember. What about it?" I responded, curious about what Tristan wanted to say.

Tristan took out his phone and showed me a video.

(Wow! Look at this, guys!" exclaimed Megi,  "There are so many videos and pictures of Kiel here. You're  have stalker, dude," they said while laughing.Kiel approached and looked, and indeed he saw his pictures there. So, does Yana have a crush on me?"

Guys, isn't that against the rules? We should respect someone's privacy and not intrude on their personal matters. Hacking someone's personal files or information is a significant violation of the law and a breach of privacy rights.. Tristan Disagree.

Come on, Tristan, this is against the law. If you report me, of course you won't, right? I'm just really curious about Yana. She's quite private and doesn't even have social media," Marlon said.

I'm also curious why she's collecting my pictures. It's obvious Kiel  that she has a crush on you. marlon amazed.

How about pursuing her and let's bet that within a month, you'll already be in a relationship?" Megi said, still holding the camera.. Excitement and curiosity filled Kiel's face. 'Deal!' he replied to their challenge. 'This is the exciting part. She's a tough one, but I'll get an answer soon.', 'I hope you answered her before this semester.' 'Maybe in less than a month, bro, Kiel will already have her answer,' Megi added. And Kiel was smile..")

I could still hear laughter from the video, but I give Tristan the phone back and just left. He called out to me, but I ignored him and continued running away.

I was in my dorm room, feeling a heavy weight in my chest. The familiar pain of abandonment, caused by my father's actions, resurfaced. I saw Mitch eating there, and though they said something, I couldn't comprehend it. So, I entered my room and closed the door behind me.It all happened so quickly. Just last night, Kiel and I were happy together, but it turns out it was all just part of their bet."

After packing my belongings, I bid farewell to Mitch, explaining that I needed to go home. I could see a lot of questions and concern in her eyes, but she remained silent. I hugged her tightly and left.
