Love, can you please sleep in the condo? I really miss you. Kiel keeps insisting on it.
But love, we have our final exams, right? We need to study hard to get a higher average in our overall grades.I told Kiel
But we can study together in the condo. It's more enjoyable to study when you're there because I can ask you questions. He keeps bugging me about it.
No, love, you should go home, okay? I gently told him, sensing his pouting face and a hint of disappointment.
"Love, how about this? During the upcoming vacation next week, I won't go home. Instead, I'll spend the whole semester break with you. You'll have unlimited freedom to do whatever you want to me," I whispered to him, with a seductive tone mixed with playful teasing.
I saw the spark in his eyes. "Really, love?" he said with a dog-like grin. "Yes, love, you should go home and rest," I told him and he immediately followed.
After the semester ended, I achieved the highest grade among all the students in Architecture. I've always been competitive like that. Since my father left us, I've always strived to be the best. That's why my mom always goes up on stage to attach the medal.
When the final grades were given out, I was suddenly called to the Architecture office and had a conversation with the dean there. "Miss Marquez, I know you're planning to return to your previous school, but before you do, I have something I would like to offer you," Mr. Cruz said, hinting at the highest position in the College of Architecture.
Despite the tempting offer of a scholarship and a promising future career, I still decided to return to my previous school.
That's good to hear, love, that you declined the offer," Kiel said to me. "Yes, love, because I already have a promising future with Mr. Dizon. He was the one who approached me first, that's why I turned down Mr. Cruz's offer," I replied.
I'm going to spend my vacation at Kiel's condo, just like I promised. He already picked me up and brought my belongings up with us.When we went upstairs, there was food prepared on the dining table. The surroundings were clean and it smelled fresh. "I'm leaving now, Kiel. Goodbye," said Aling Leth, Kiel's weekend cleaner.
Let's eat first, love. We still have a lot of work to do later. Kiel playfully and flirtatiously said.I just nodded my head.
After we finished eating and tidying up, I prepared myself to take a shower. I knew what is going to happen since it had been a long time since anything intimate occurred between Kiel and me due to our busy schedules with school and my tutoring commitments.
As I am about to enter the bathroom, Kiel suddenly walked in as well. "Yes, love?" I asked him. He responded with a playful tone, "Let's take a shower together, love," adding a hint of affection to his words.
We showered together, with Kiel volunteering to wash me. It was a new experience for us, and I let out a gasp as he suddenly lathered the soap on my femininity.Our eyes locked, filled with anticipation and longing for each other.
After a moment, he passionately kissed me on the lips while the water from the shower continued to flow over our bodies.His kiss was filled with love, and it trailed down from my lips to my neck and further down to my chest, as if he was thirsting for it, sucking on my breasts hungrily.I let out a moan in response to Kiel, as his kisses continued downwards, reaching my femininity.I let out a louder moan in response to Kiel's actions, as he pleasured my clitoris with his tongue. "Oh, Kiel, please," I moaned in pleasure.
As he grew tired of playing, he positioned himself to enter me.But I stopped him.
"Wait, love," I whispered. I knelt down and slowly took his manhood into my mouth.And I treated it like a candy lollipop.Kiel let out a moan in response.
Kiel has never asked me to pleasure him or engage in these activities with him.
He has always been the one to bring joy to me, and I wanted to return the favor. So, I put extra effort into pleasuring him orally to ensure that he would fully enjoy the pleasure.
After our long lovemaking session, Kiel and I lay naked on the bed. After a while, he grabbed the towel and stood up."
He took something from his drawer, and an 18-carat diamond with a 4k white gold band engagement ring appeared before my eyes.
"Will you marry me, love?" he asked me in a serious tone.
I was left speechless, as jokes were not expected in this moment.
Love, please hide that for now. Let's wait until we graduate before you propose, okay? I could see a hint of disappointment on his face.
After the semester break, we enrolled in school. Kiel still had one more semester to complete for his OJT (On-the-Job Training). It turned out that his friends had already graduated, and we all got together for a small party at Megi's condo. Megi and Marlon apologized to me for what they had done, and I forgave them. I didn't see Tristan, but I heard from Butch that he was planning to change his course and transfer to a different school. Megi and Mitch also reconciled.Our year turned out to be happy.
Here I am now will be giving speeches at our graduation ceremony. I received the highest award in our course, summa cum laude, while my friend Butch achieved cum laude. I looked around and saw Kiel and my father behind us. Kiel's mother and his sister Jessa were also there, while Mitch, Megie, and Marlon were behind them. They wanted to witness my graduation.
I searched for my mother but couldn't find her. Perhaps she was just at the back and obscured from view. The awardees were about to be called, and she was supposed to join me on stage to attach the medals. I received four medals for different accomplishments.The graduates have started to walk across the stage, but I still haven't seen my mother. It's now my turn to step forward and have the medals attached.
Ladies and gentlemen, today we gather to honor an exceptional student among us. With great pride, I announce that Yana Kate Marquez has achieved the highest academic distinction, "Summa Cum Laude."
I stood up and looked around, wondering why Mama was still not there. In a hurry, Papa quickly climbed up to put my medal on.Papa was the one who attached all four medals, and I saw the pride in his eyes.
I delivered my speech and expressed my heartfelt gratitude to Mama and the entire school community. I also made sure to acknowledge Kiel and the assistance he provided me with, expressing my sincere appreciation.
After the graduation ceremony, faculty members approached me one by one, congratulating me on my achievement. Papa and his family also came up to me. Aling Cynthia, Kiel's mother, warmly greeted me and said, "Congratulations, Yana!" I smiled and expressed my gratitude to them. Once the exchange of smiles and greetings was over, I spoke to Kiel and asked him, "Kiel, have you seen Mama? She's still not here." I addressed my boyfriend.
"Earlier, I looked around for her, but she's nowhere to be found, love. Uncle and I even searched outside, but she's not there either." Kiel said .
I quickly took my phone from the bag he was holding..I noticed that Aling Telma had called me six times, so I hurriedly called her back to find out where Mama was and if she had already left.Aling Telma, is Mama still there?" I asked anxiously as soon as she answered the phone.
"Your mother, Yana..." Aling Telma's voice trembled and sounded choked, as if she had been crying.What happened to Mama?" I asked, my voice filled with urgency.
"Your mother, Yana... she passed away," Aling Telma uttered with a heavy tone. "She was so excited to leave earlier, but she suddenly had a heart attack. We rushed her to the hospital, but the doctors said she couldn't be revived, even during the journey."
My heart sank, and a wave of disbelief and grief washed over me as I tried to comprehend the devastating news."I don't know what to do in these moments. What should have been a joyful celebration for me has turned into profound sadness," I expressed, tears streaming down my face. Papa and Kiel immediately approached me, sensing that something was wrong. "Is there a problem, love?" Kiel asked me with concern evident in his voice.
As soon as I saw Kiel, I collapsed into his embrace, sobbing uncontrollably. "Mama is gone," I managed to say amidst my heavy sobs, burying my face in his chest.
"What do you mean, love?" he asked softly, gently stroking my back.That's why she couldn't come here, she had a heart attack. My mother is gone," I said through my tears, overwhelmed with grief.
Papa approached me and gently stroked my back, offering comfort and solace in that moment of immense pain.
