In the crescent hill University... Literature department
Rafael walked with his usual cold expression, dark eyes half-lidded, shoulders relaxed like nothing in the world bothered him.
No one would have guessed the truth - he was heir to the shadowy Cortez syndicate, raised among guns and blood.
He bumped into him, the soft guy he was looking for to follow up his plan.
Rafael (ml)
Hey? What's the rush
Jamie (mc)
Sorry sorry! I'm in a hurry... do you know where is class A... Freshers unit??
Rafael (ml)
What a coincidence... I'm heading towards the same unit...
Jamie (mc)
*smiles with relief* thank goodness... I thought I was late... And yea sorry for bumping into you...
Rafael (ml)
*grins* it's fine... *looking at him with a cruel motive* can we go now?
Jamie (mc)
*nods and started walking beside him*
Rafael (ml)
By the way what's your name?
Jamie (mc)
Jamie... Jamie lane.. How about you??
Rafael (ml)
💭 Lane *smirks with dark eyes*
Rafael (ml)
I'm rafael cor.. *pauses* rafael Castillo
Jamie (mc)
*smiles* aren't you nervous?? I'm super nervous today... there will be new people and a new environment just thinking about it makes me excited
Rafael (ml)
Hmm... Are you that excited? For me it's the same as always... I don't get bothered by so many things
Jamie (mc)
You know my parents used to say that, i should enjoy my university life as much as possible. So I want to make friends, hang out, late night studies etc.... What about you?
Rafael (ml)
*looks at Jamie with an unreadable expression*... Friends huh?? I think I'm your friend now *smirks* for me having one or two friends is enough
Jamie (mc)
So are we friends?? *smiles and forwards his hand for a firm handshake*
Rafael (ml)
Took his hand squeezing it lightly with a cruel smile that didn't reach jamie* 💭 you will enjoy this university life... After that you will know what hell feels like... even if I exclude you, your parents will face that hell
Jamie notices that there was a name board at the classroom door which was showing class A fresher's unit
Jamie (mc)
Ah... My bad... I forgot that the classes and units will be mentioned in the name board...
Rafael (ml)
It's fine... You were too excited that you forgot about it.. And it's a good thing that we bumped into each other now we are familiar unlike others... You won't be lonely
Jamie (mc)
*nods eagerly* after the class, let's have lunch together and if you can let's go home together too
They both walked inside the class.
Every student was seated choosing their own seat. There were only two seats available rafael asked jamie to sit in the middle row and he sat in the back after 2 rows before Jamie's seat.
Grace
Hello.. Deskmate *gloomy*
Rafael (ml)
*notices* dang i thought you were a guy
Grace
Hehe... I get that a lot... Thanks thanks
Rafael (ml)
💭 As if I praised her *rolls his eyes*
Rafael (ml)
Why do you look gloomy and exhausted?
Grace
I'm sleep deprived... I was awake the whole night playing games, reading books, scribbling on notes... I was excited for today so I couldn't sleep
Rafael (ml)
You're the same as jamie... but instead of gloomy he looks all energetic
Grace
Jamie who? The guy who came with you??
Grace
By chance... Are you two couples??
Rafael (ml)
No... We just bumped into each other a while ago... What made you think like that?
Grace
Nevermind... look at these two guys in front of our desk...
Grace
They are couples *whispers*
Theo
*turns back towards her*
Grace
I.. it's nice to meet you both... I'm g..grace
Theo
Were you talking behind our back??
Grace
No!!! I was just saying that you both look so cute... Matching hair color, matching clothes... At first I thought u two were twins...until you k...kissed...your bf on ..his lips...Haha even your names sounds similar*fidgeting*
Theo
You talk too much *turns to front*
Jamie (mc)
*looks back at rafael's desk*
As their eyes met jamie smiled which made rafael's heart skip a beat.
Rafael (ml)
*looks down instantly*
Grace
You sure... You two aren't freaky?
Rafael (ml)
I am!! *shouts at grace*
Grace
*startled* Ehh men are weird... Wish I had a girl deskmate
Grace
By the way... I'm gr-
Rafael (ml)
Grace ... I'm Rafael
The first session went with self introduction and rest session went on with the brief orientation about their department
As the sun raised above the head, the bell rang... It's a Lunch time
Jamie (mc)
*quickly took his bag and went towards rafael's desk* rafael... Let's go
Rafael (ml)
*smiles* easy there tiger... Let me pack my things....
Jamie (mc)
*nods* after having lunch let's take the university tour... How about it?
Rafael (ml)
I'm ok with it
Grace
Hey Jamie *waves* it's grace...
Jamie (mc)
Oh hi... You know my name?
Grace
Someone already gave an introduction about you...so yea
Leo

Grace

Grace

Rafael (ml)
Wanna tag along? *asks leo and theo*
Theo
My leo is ready then I'm going too
Jamie (mc)
Well then let's goooo I'm super hungry !!
They left the classroom and had lunch after taking the university tour... They started walking towards the bus stop
Grace
Hmm? Theo boss is your BF a robot? He hardly shows any emotions
Theo
My leo is unique he stopped because he has his scooter parked over there... And we are leaving together
Grace
Wow what a couple... All the encrypted messages from your lover are being decrypted by you...
Theo
We are always like that... Bound to each other ... Even we think the same
Jamie (mc)
Wow like twins??
Rafael (ml)
No they are a couple jamie!
Grace
*waves a bye* fly safely love birds...
As theo and leo left Grace's bus arrived too... she waved a bye to rafael and jamie and leaves
Jamie (mc)
*looks at rafael* I think I will call for a taxi today... I'm in no mood to ride a bus
Rafael (ml)
*holds Jamie's hand* you're in a rush to go home? I heard someone saying "i want to hang out with friends"
Jamie (mc)
Oh but everyone left... Only we two are free now
Rafael (ml)
Let's hang out... Just the two of us... Consider it as a date
Rafael (ml)
Just kidding... Let's go I will take you somewhere good
Jamie (mc)
*nods and follows rafael*
02. Date
Jamie (mc)
So... Where are we going?
Rafael (ml)
*walking in front of jamie and answered without looking back at him* let's go to my place...
Rafael (ml)
No more questions... Just follow my lead for today.. I will listen to your ideas tomorrow
Jamie (mc)
*without any choice he agrees to it*
They both took a taxi and reached the destination.
Rafael took jamie in the elevator.. There is an awkward silence between them..no maybe only with jamie.. rafael has indulged himself in thinking about something else.
The moment they entered, the scent of Rafael's place washed over jamie-clean soap, warm vanilla, and something distinctly him.
Rafael (ml)
*Gently tugged jamie's bag off his shoulder* sit i will make you something...
Jamie (mc)
*nods and sits on the living area sofa with awkwardness* well... Your apartment is big
Rafael (ml)
I know right... I sometimes feel lonely in this big house... It's a good thing that you will accompany me Today
Rafael (ml)
Want to watch tv or play Games until I make dinner?
Jamie (mc)
*shakes his head* you can go ahead... I will inform my parents that I will be going home late
Rafael (ml)
*leans closer and kneels in front of him* do you mind spending a night here??
Jamie (mc)
W...well... No.. but-
Rafael (ml)
Then inform your parents that you're staying with me..
Jamie (mc)
Rafael.. Isn't it weird?... I.. it's just that ... We met today
Rafael (ml)
*got up* I understand... Well no force, if you're interested in staying here then stay... we will watch a movie together
By saying this rafael went to the kitchen, he rolled his sleeves and started cutting the vegetables.
After a few minutes.... Jamie walked towards the kitchen informing his parents that he will be staying with rafael his new friend... Jamie's parents didn't ask much
Rafael (ml)
*looks at Jamie who just walked into the kitchen* hm? Did you inform your parents?
Jamie (mc)
Yes... They said I can spend a night here.. Need any help?
Rafael (ml)
It's fine I will do it... Well... *his grip on the knife tightened* your parents seem to be carefree.. They let you do whatever you want?
Jamie (mc)
*looks down* .... Not really... They just don't have time for me... They are always busy dealing with their business... Maybe they thought I needed a company and they let me stay here
Jamie (mc)
What about you? Do you often visit your home?
Rafael (ml)
I have no home... This is my only home... *took out a pot and started boiling vegetables*
Jamie (mc)
....What about your parents?
Rafael (ml)
I don't have any
Jamie (mc)
I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you sad... I'm really sorry
Rafael (ml)
I don't mind... I'm used to it... *expression cold and unreadable*
Jamie (mc)
*jamie who was looking down with guilt slowly lifts his head and looks at Rafael* it must be hard for you... But I'm really proud of you, you take care of yourself.. If you ever feel lonely let's go to my house... And we will have dinner and spend our time like a family
Rafael (ml)
💭 How naive *smirks* family huh? Do enemies become family that easily? Ridiculous
Jamie (mc)
*shakes him* rafael... You're spacing out
Rafael (ml)
H..huh nope I'm fine
Jamie (mc)
I'm sorry for making things awkward...
Rafael (ml)
I said I'm fine... Go take a rest
Jamie (mc)
No... I will help you
Rafael (ml)
Do you even know how to cook??
Jamie (mc)
Ye- *shakes his head as no* i have maids doing it for me at home so I never thought of learning it ... Can you teach me?
Rafael (ml)
*smiles* not today...for now just help me with small small things... I will teach you how to cook next time
Rafael (ml)
Can you pass me that bowl beside you?
Jamie (mc)
*quickly takes it and gives it to rafael*
Rafael (ml)
Relax.. Work slow it's fine
Rafael asked jamie to pass small things for him.. jamie gladly helped him feeling overwhelmed
Jamie (mc)
Can I stir the soup? seeing it making me wanna do the same as you're doing
Rafael (ml)
Sure go ahead *leaves space for jamie in front of the stove*
Jamie (mc)
*takes the ladel and slowly stirs the soup that was boiling, with a childish smile on his face*
Rafael (ml)
*smiles*💭 he is still a kid...
Jamie (mc)
Rafael look! I can do it too... Next time I will make you soup by myself...
Rafael (ml)
*shakes his head in disbelief, he stands behind jamie gripping his waist gently and touches Jamie's hand which was holding the ladle*
Rafael (ml)
Stay still let me taste the soup and check if the spices are balanced or not
Jamie (mc)
*heart beating loudly* y.. yes
Rafael (ml)
*by holding Jamie's hand, slowly stirs the soup before bringing it up* blow it for me
Jamie (mc)
H..huh yea *blows gently his heart strongly pounding out his chest*
Rafael (ml)
*brings the ladle close to his mouth and tastes the soup* it's good... You taste it. *again brings the ladle towards Jamie's mouth*
Jamie (mc)
*hesitates and tastes it*... It's super delicious!
Rafael (ml)
*smiles and turns off the stove before moving back* you go take a seat i will set the table
Rafael (ml)
I can help myself you're my guest please take a seat
Jamie (mc)
*Without any choice he goes and sits at the dining table*
Rafael (ml)
*preparing the bowls, as jamie was busy scrolling through his phone rafael took out a small bottle which had a liquid substance and was about to pour it into Jamie's bowl, but he stopped*
Rafael (ml)
💭Let's not drag innocent's life in danger.. I will just use him for my benefits
After a few minutes, rafael set the table and they soon started eating... Jamie was praising rafael's cooking as if it was the only delicious dish that he had in his life
Dining time passed and they both sat down to watch movies
Rafael (ml)
Do you want something scary, romantic, action, or...?
Jamie (mc)
I can watch anything.
Rafael (ml)
*Thumb paused mid-scroll, picked a soft romantic comedy*
They dimmed the lights, leaving only the warm glow of the lamp by the couch. It made everything look dreamy- the room, the air, even the space between them.
Twenty minutes into the movie, there was a funny scene.
Jamie (mc)
*Laughed so suddenly he leaned sideways right into Rafael's shoulder*
Jamie (mc)
That scene was very funny... *still laughing and looks at rafael* don't you find it funny?
Rafael (ml)
Y..yea very funny *fake laugh*
Jamie (mc)
*continued watching movie*
Rafael (ml)
💭He's a little cutie when he laughs like that *unconsciously blushes*
Later jamie reached for the popcorn bowl on the table. His hand brushed Rafael's wrist.
Rafael (ml)
*Looked down at their nearly-touching hands, then gently nudged the bowl closer to Jamie* eat
Jamie (mc)
*smiles clearly enjoying the movie*
Rafael (ml)
*blushes again at Jamie's smile* 💭 he is very dangerous
Jamie (mc)
Why the movie became so boring... It was good in the beginning *drowsy*
Rafael (ml)
Hmm.. It happens...
Jamie (mc)
*Eyes began to droop. His head slid from Rafael's shoulder *
Rafael (ml)
*didn't say anything he waited until the movie was over, after that he turned off the tv with the remote*
Rafael (ml)
*looks at Jamie who was still snoring* wow he drolled on my shoulder
Rafael (ml)
*shakes me gently* jamie... Movie is over let's head towards the bed
Jamie (mc)
*stirs awake* I didn't eat the pasta
Rafael (ml)
Huh? yea you didn't... Let's go now *rafael helped jamie towards his own room and slides beside him falling asleep too *
The next morning, rafael asked one of his men to buy new clothes for jamie without Jamie's knowledge. As jamie woke up he got freshened up and they both leaves to the university together.
03. beginning
Jamie walked beside Rafael, wearing the new clothes Rafael secretly bought. A simple white t-shirt and soft beige cardigan — warm, gentle, soft looking.
Jamie (mc)
*Looked down at himself* Did I wear something weird? I think the clothes don't fit on myself very well
Rafael (ml)
*looks at him scanning him from head to toe* no, it suits you... Well those clothes are of my choice, so obviously it looks pretty on you
Jamie (mc)
*looks up* why do you have clothes of my size in your house?
Rafael (ml)
w...well i... bought it for a friend... I didn't give it to him because at the end of high school we had a strong fight...
💭 it's obviously a lie
Jamie (mc)
Is it ok to wear your friend's clothes? I mean... You bought it for him,
Rafael (ml)
It's fine... I wonder if we will ever meet again... And most importantly you're my friend now... Aren't you? So think that it's a gift from me
Jamie (mc)
Oh! Thanks anyway *smiles*
Inside the Literature hall.
Grace

Jamie (mc)

Jamie nodded back and went back to his seat. Soon the class started
Jamie (mc)
*fallen asleep on his notes…his pen is still in hand*
Rafael (ml)
*who was sitting beside Jamie couldn't help but stare at his sleeping form*
Rafael (ml)
*realizing he was staring too much, he gently woke him up* Jamie *whisper*
Jamie (mc)
*stirs awake* .... Rafael?
Rafael (ml)
Couldn't sleep well last night? *talking in low voice*
Jamie (mc)

Rafael (ml)
You're not staying tonight in my apartment?
Jamie (mc)
Nope maybe some other day, after hanging out I will just go home today
Rafael (ml)
*thinks for a while*
Jamie (mc)
Why did you ask??
Rafael (ml)
Nope nothing... so when are you going to take me to dinner at your house?
Jamie (mc)
Anytime... I will tell my parents about you... and if they are free they will surely invite you
Rafael (ml)
I'm looking forward to it *smiles*
Jamie (mc)
*nods and smiles back*
In the evening, everyone went to rafael's house... they ordered takeouts, watched a movie and now it's almost 9pm

Jamie (mc)
Take me home? what do you mean?
Rafael (ml)

Jamie (mc)
*looking around* you have a car??
Rafael (ml)
I'm a student, handling a car is so risky so I don't have one
Jamie (mc)
*folds his arms over his chest* Then?? what do you mean by 'you' taking 'me' home??
Rafael (ml)
*stepped beside a black motorcycle and tapped the seat lightly* it will take you home
Jamie (mc)
You... wait... Do i have to sit on it??!
Jamie (mc)
Like... In tv dramas and movies... where the male lead asks the female lead to hold tightly!!??
Rafael (ml)
well... If you are uncomfortable I can book you a taxi or I will walk you to the bustop *his excited face now is little sulky*
Rafael (ml)
I just wanted you to enjoy the ride... Well no force! You can choose
Jamie (mc)
*thinks for awhile and sighs* fine... It's just that too much skinship is not for me, i overreacted because of it...
Jamie (mc)
If it's with you, I'm sure I will not be uncomfortable
Rafael (ml)
*beams* that's it!! Leave it to me it's my responsibility to take you home with safety
Jamie (mc)
*hesitates, eyes fixed on the motorcycle* actually I’ve never been on a motorcycle before... It looks dangerous to me
Rafael (ml)
Don't be scared, you can just blindly trust me *take out the helmet and wear it on jamie,later he takes out his own helmet and gets on the bike wearing it, the sight was so breathtaking*
Jamie (mc)
💭 *blushes unconsciously* so handsome
Rafael (ml)
*looks at Jamie* just hop on jamie... And hold onto me tightly
Jamie (mc)
*nods and climbed on behind him, awkward and unsure, lightly holding rafael's jacket*
Rafael (ml)
*Glanced back* You’re gonna fall if you don’t grab me properly
Jamie (mc)
*Swallowed and wrapped his arms around rafael's waist* m...my life is in your hand!
Rafael (ml)
*smiles to himself*
Jamie Gasped softly as they pulled forward, instinctively pressing closer, fingers clutching Rafael’s jacket.
Rafael felt it and smiled.
He rode slower than usual.
When they hit the main road, city lights blurred past, wind brushing jamie’s cheeks. His fear slowly melted into warmth, and hands which were clenched so tightly on rafael's jacket relaxed a bit.
Rafael (ml)
Are you ok?? *asks jamie while keeping his focus on the road*
Rafael (ml)
Do you want me to go slower or something??
Jamie (mc)
No it's fine! I'm okay... and my house is at xx street
Rafael (ml)
*nods* sure boss just enjoy your ride... *speeds up a little*
Rafael (ml)
💭 you don't need to tell me your address jamie I know every tiny details about your family.
Jamie (mc)
*smacks on Rafael's shoulder* who told you to speed up! Come on go slower!
Rafael (ml)
Okok!!! My bad *slows the bike*
Soon they reached the destination.
Jamie (mc)
*nods and got down the bike* thanks for the ride...
Rafael (ml)
If you want to ride more often just tell me I will be there for you at anytime
Jamie (mc)
I would never ask you again! I'd rather call my driver to pick me up!
Rafael (ml)
so rude...*leans closer* so was I cool? We looked like those couples we see on those TV screen or mobile
Jamie (mc)
Stop exaggerating, it's already late, you should return home...
Rafael (ml)
*looks at the luxurious house behind Jamie* is your parents home??
Jamie (mc)
I don't know I didn't call them, maybe they are Inside... I owe you dinner don't worry i will tell them about you
Rafael (ml)
Fine then next time introduce me to my soon-to-be in-laws *reverse the bike and starts the engine*
Jamie (mc)
Oka...!! Wait what!! Rafael!!
Rafael (ml)
*laughs and drives away*
Rafael (ml)
*as soon as he hit the main road his face darkens* 💭 I hope Jamie is falling for me little by little... well there is no rush I still have 4 years to make him mine and destroy that family
Jamie (mc)
*walks inside the house talking to himself* Rafael is kinda cool... If he was an extrovert he would have been a playboy and had a bunch of harems of those guys and beautiful ladies
Ella lane (mc's mother)
