When Will It Be?
I jumped off the bus. I looked around to find the woman I had been missing for two months.
"Cream! Yuhoooo! I'm here!" with a hand rising in the sea of people.
There!
"Lianna!" I laughed and waved back. I ran towards her and hugged her tightly.
We jumped along with our screams. Two months might just be a short period of time, but it felt like an eternity being away from my best friend!
Grabe!
"I missed you! How's the province?" she eagerly asked.
"Good, good. I hope I brought you there!" I hit her once.
"Hmp you know I'm busy with my summer dance class."
"That's right! Tsk you missed a lot, miss dancer!"
"I know right ?! That's why we're going to party tonight!" She put her arm around me. "Come on, the gang is waiting for you."
Even though I was tired from the three-hour drive I would still attend pool parties with friends.
I am Cream Deyla Galicia. Nineteen years old and a second year college student. That's my best friend Lianna Aguero.
We got in his car and immediately headed to a familiar private property. We are jumping from one house to another when we party and the venue discussed today is in Suwie's mansion.
The sun is about to set, so the sky is orange and pink.
Our story is straightforward. Catching up with her is impossible at the moment because we did not realize that we had arrived.
The car stopped immediately. Just outside, we heard the noise.
"OMG! Let's go Cream!" he excitedly dragged me. I laughed and slung the big backpack over my shoulder. We immediately got to the back and there we found the fun.
"Cream is hereeeeee!" Lianna announced enthusiastically so the attention came to us.
My friends immediately confused me. Of course hello and still laughing. I miss them so much!
I hugged them when I saw Mason go up to the pool. I saw how he grabbed the attention of the few women my friends invited here.
"Look who's back. I bet you missed me." he grinned. He messed up his hair so the water spewed out on me. I cried.
"Who will miss the bully ?!" I raised an eyebrow at him.
He laughed. "Go and change now. You are so out of place cherry." he smirked.
I looked at my sneakers, t-shirt and pants.
"Yeah right. And oh, stop calling me cherry. My name is Cream." I was jokingly reminded.
He smiled even more. "Cherry looks nice on top of a cream."
"Tss whatever, Mason."
I said goodbye to get dressed. Lianna also came with me. When we entered the house we met Suwie, the owner of this mansion.
Her eyes widened.
"Two months was boring without the baby of the party!" she exclaimed while hugging me. . . more like squeezing me!
"I am not a baby." "Of course you're not, Cream. You're just too adorable that we missed you so much!" she grinned. "Get dressed. I'll wait outside." Lianna and I went upstairs and we sailed upstairs to where the guest room we were going to stay tonight was.
We got dressed right away. I hesitated but eventually Lianna also convinced me to wear this. I was n*ked and inside was a pink one-piece swimsuit. Lianna, on the other hand, has two pieces, also covered with a robe.
We went downstairs as I tied my long hair. I turned around when he suddenly giggled. He pulled me closer to him.
"I hope Stephiance is here." she whispered and laughed softly.
I looked at her. Kuya Stephiance or Sance is Suwie's older brother who already works for their company.
"It won't here for sure." I whispered back.
"But I still hope so! Even though he has a condo and is busy with life he would have gone!" strengthened she said. I can feel her excitement because she has been crushing it for a few years, she is not being ignored.
I laughed and patted her shoulder. "Find a new crush!"
She dropped her shoulder and shook.
"No way! As if I can!"
Really Lianna?
When we got out, we immediately got a drink. We went to Tally laughing while grilling a barbecue.
"The problem with you is that you are too stupid!" Zoey laughed.
"Shut up Zoey. You're not a man so you can't relate to me."Harry blinked.
" Our gender doesn't make a difference. Besides, it's the 21st century, even though I'm a woman, I'm the first to admit to the man I want. Not gonna wait for the guy to make the first move."Ellie shrugged.
" What if busted? It hurts too."Karl said.
Zoey snorted." Are you scared there? We're still young. It's still safe to get a heartbreak at this age. "
" We all deal the ache differently Zoey. Some of you may think that everything is superficial but to someone, it turns out to be deep. " They were silent at what Dylan said. He continued to fan the grill.
" The serious one."I groaned.
They looked at me and smiled. Karl put his arm around me and rubbed my ear that he had been holding earlier.
"You Cream, who do you like?" he playfully asked.
"Nothing!" my cheeks warmed up. Totoo naman eh. I have many male friends but I am not attracted to them.
"Don't worry Cream. I'll help you find a crush. You know it's just around the corner." he smiled. He pulled me to sit on the hammock he was sitting on earlier.
"Hmm I don't know, I'm not ready yet." I laughed.
My best friend giggled. "Can't wait to see our baby obsessed with someone."
They laughed. How many times do I have to stress that I am not a baby! Like seriously? We are in college! They still treat me like a baby because I said my baby acted too much. How? I did not realize that I was like that.
I just want to shower happiness everywhere! That's all!
The conversation continued until we started eating. After a few laughs they started jumping in the pool. Lianna removed her clothes which we immediately whistled.
"Someone has won !!!" I joined.
He jokingly hit me. "Oh *****, speed!"
I laughed and undressed. I took a deep breath. "Oh you are so sexy Cream!" he hugged me tightly.
"I can not breathe!" I choked.
"Sorry! Just changing!" he laughed in my ear and happily let go. "Finally!"
"Baby pink suits your pale skin girl!" Suwie shouted in the distance sitting by the pool.
I was a little taken aback by the attention I got. I'm not really used to it. I do not know why I am brave now to wear a swimsuit. I'm not too daring, unlike Lianna and Suwie! They're just over-reacting.
We went down to the pool. Sprinkled water, chased and played volleyball. The music grew louder with the advent of new drinks. We went up for a drink there. I had seven shots of tequila when I thought of lying down on the lounger.
I would have closed my eyes first when I caught sight of Suwie running towards the dark and distant part of their mansion.
I stood up and did not hesitate to follow him.
When I got closer I heard her sobs and vomiting. My heartbeat quickened as my lips parted. But my jaw dropped even more when I saw a man rubbing his back. He doesn't looked like our age. Maybe he's a few years older than us!
After vomiting, the man hugged her. "I'm sorry Suwie."
Suwie sobbed even more. "Why are you apologizing? N-Are you sorry?" it cried even more.
I swallowed. There is a conclusion in the brain p-but. . .
"No! No I'm not. I'm just worried about you." the man's voice weakened.
I backed away once but my back hit a hard chest.
Chest?
I sighed and immediately turned around. A piercing stare was directed at me. Suddenly my heart beat faster.
"I always feel so sick." I heard Suwie say softly. "And I'm afraid my older brother Stephiance will feel better."
I stared at the man. My eyes still widened as I listened to what Suwie was saying.
I was about to open my mouth when he pulled me away from that place. He held me tightly and took me to the other side which was also dark. Clear even without light due to the full moon. And before I knew it, I burst out crying.
