"Hey, Denison Crey Astle!" A varsity player emerged to my way.

If i'm not mistaken he's from our course too, a business management. I went here to the court for attendance because the professor will mark us an absent if we don't support the basketball player in our course.

"Hello... Anyway, congratulations for winning the game." I waved my hands on him. He was taller than me, wearing a red jersey with his name in front and the name of their team. He has black leg sleeves, tuck in to his shoes. From our distance I've smell him, a mix of sweet seduction and vanilla.

Jay Xavier

I saw some of his teammates even my classmates who was giving a tease look to him at his back but I didn't mind. "I'm sorry to interrupted you... U- uh..." he was stuttering.

"Denise, he wants to invite you to his birthday!" Rowal shouted to me.

"Oh! Sure... Sure. But can I bring one friend?" I said to him even though I wasn't sure if it was true. "Is this really true that you are inviting me?"

He nodded to me shyly but it was mix of happiness according to his eyes. I didn't know him, only his name because it was in front of his jersey. I agreed because I just want to since I'll be bored in the house if I won't go out.

"I'm sorry I don't know how to face you... you looks intimidating. Anyway... Is this for real? My birthday will be celebrated in our house... I can drove you there," he offered.

"I'm actually fun to be with yet a bit intimidating. Don't worry... Just send me your address. Wait, here's my number." I pocked out my calling card in my wallet, as he handed it a small smile formed to his lips.

Our love started when he appears in front of me after watching their game and when he invited me to his birthday. It was an ecstasy night because I made new friends since I was just alone because my bestfriend was grounded that time.

It happened almost 8 years ago. He courted me April 9, 2008 and I answered him in a bizzare way wayback October 26, 2006. He courted me for six months, I didn't see anything wrong, he was different compare to my ex flings and a well raised child of his parents that's why I didn't hesitate to be his girlfriend.

Yet, after seven years exact of our anniversary, he broke up with me because he would marry someone else that older than him. Our anniversary ruined, my happiness changed into broken heart. He made our anniversary an unforgettable day yet it wasn't felicity.

An anger, confusions and sorrow came up in my chest.

"Why it ended up like this, Jax?" I whispered to myself hoping that he will appear again, he will take back his words.

Why he needs to hold on to someone when we can work it together? I know he loves their company yet why he needs to hurt me? I felt so betrayed by someone I trusted. My hair was getting messy because of the tears, my skin was getting cold because I didn't wear any long sleeves, i'm still in my lingerie.

"Denise?" A gray car stopped by in front of me.

"Joelie?" My tears came out again when I saw my bestfriend in front of me. I texted her to come even though she was in the Tagaytay.

I felt her arms wrapped around in my cold body. She was hugging me tightly a way of her comfort. "He broke up with me... Joe... He broke up with me." I cried painfully.

I looks like an astray kids and had wounds that trying to tell what happened. In her strength, she tried to lift me up but she was about to stumble because I was too heavy for her.

"Let's confer in my condo... look at to yourself now, Denise. We will talk about it but not here, we were getting the people's attention walking passed by to us," Joelie pleaded.

Even I was not feeling myself, I tried to stood up and enter her car. She buckled me her seatbelt in front seat. She looked at me pity before she drove her car going to her condo. I did not feel to go home now, our house was empty as me. And i'm sure, I will do the things risky.

"Wear my hoodie, babe... will get some food for us, your ulcer may attact if you won't eat," she said, worriedly.

My tears stopped from falling and I know anytime it'll bursts out again once I talk about it. Joelie handed me her red hoodie another thing that reminds me of him, he likes everything that is color red.

"It'll be better if we talk about it tomorrow... you need some rests and you can function well if you do. But, eat this first." She showed me a noodles, I smiled at her when it was my favorite spicy noodles.

"Th... Thank you." I bursted out a tears again.

I think it'll be an endless tears. At least i'm with someone who I can lean on for this painful night. Kaia one of my bestfriend was out of the country and I'm sure if she was here, she would accompany me too. They were both my bestfriend, we are trio. Some of the people say, there's no long lasting trio in friendship but we proved them wrong.

We were bestfriends since highchool and going 14 years now.

"Denise, if you were wondering if you are loved, yes you are. You may sleep with a heavy heart but assured yourself that you are loved," Joelie reminded me. "And our love to you can prove that."

I tried to lay down my body in her bed trying to sleep. It was good that I had sleep without waking up in the middle of the night just to cry. I woke up 6:00 am in the morning. I saw my swelling face in my phone before I opened it.

An unexpected email when his name popped on my notifications. I was trembling in excitement, hoping that it was just a prank. I opened it, there was a pdf file. My phone was fall over my hand, a fucking invitation. He sent me an invitation.

'You are invited to the wedding of Jay Xavier Acosta and Gretta Devon!'
