Looking Maryan straight in the eyes, Bea knitted her brows. "Huh? Who are you?" she asked back, not cowering despite of Maryan's build. Her frustration making her come off as hostile.
Maryan's gaze narrowed slightly on Bea. "I'm Maryan. Mark's classmate." she said firmly. Bea's eyes widened slightly before narrowing. Meeting Maryan's gaze equally. "So. What did you wanna tell me?"
Maryan looked around, scanning the area. "Not here. Let's go somewhere else."
"No." Bea instantly responded. Not even humoring the thought. She glanced at the main entrance. "Kuya Mark will come out any second now. I don't want to make him wait."
Bea then felt a hand grab her shoulder. She turns and see Maryan leaned in, her lips close to Bea's ear. "Do you have feelings for Mark?" Maryan's voice is loud and clear as she side-eyes Bea.
Yet, even this didn't make her flinch. Bea shook off Maryan's hold as she stepped away. "It's none of your business. You're just a classmate. Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong." she says, shooting a glare.
At this point, Maryan couldn't help but frown. Her jaw tensing as she grinds her teeth lightly behind closed lips. As much as she doesn't like to admit it, Bea has a point. "... I'm advising you not to do anything stupid. Don't make things difficult for Mark because of your selfishness."
Bea exhaled, the intensity reminiscent of a steam engine. Discontent with the girl before her. "I'm not doing anything wrong, so stop bothering me."
And for a moment, the two were locked into a staring match. Trying to intimidate the other.
The tense silence is only broken by a ding sound that echoed from Bea's pocket. She shoves her hand inside and takes out her phone. Unlocking the screen, she pulls the top down to see her notifications. Her eyes quickly catch Mark's name at the top. Tapping on the text notification, she read his message.
"!!" her eyes blew wide open, but quickly narrowed as fury contorted her features. "That bitch...!"
["Gonna go hang out at Rheyna's house. Don't wait for me."]
.
.
At Rheyna's house.
Rheyna slots her key inside and twists it, producing a mechanical click. With the door unlocked, she pushes it open. She then looked over her shoulder and at me. "Come on in." she says with a small smile.
'My first time visiting a girl's house. If I don't count Bea's, that is.' I think to myself as Rheyna steps inside and begins taking her shoes off.
Following her lead, I step inside after her. "Excuse me po."1"po" is something Filipinos add to their sentences as a way of showing respect. I announce before slipping out of my shoes. My sock-clad feet touching the smooth wood floor.
As Rheyna was about to slip into flip flops, the sound of footsteps on the stairs caught my attention. I turn to look and see a young girl about elementary age. "Sis, did you invite over your frie-" she suddenly froze the moment we made eye contact. Her jaw hanging open. If she didn't blink, I'd have thought she froze in place.
"Um, hello po." I wave with a small smile. 'She must be Rheyna's little sister.'
With her jaw still dropped, she slowly turned to Rheyna standing next to me. "What are you looking at?" Rheyna scowled.
Her little sister then turned back to me, her eyes scanning me up and down before turning back to her sister. "... Did you bewitch him?"
"What?! No! Is it that hard to believe that I got a boyfriend?!" Rheyna yelled.
"HE'S YOUR BOYFRIEND?!?!?!" her eyes blew so wide open that they look like they could roll out of their sockets.
After that, an immediate mix of anger and embarrassment flushed Rheyna's cheeks. "Just go back to your room already!"
"Oi! Why are you two yelling!?" a masculine voice echoed from another room. Judging by the tone, it's likely from Rheyna's father or maybe her uncle.
Rheyna's little sister, whom I still don't know the name of, snapped to the direction of the voice and hurriedly ran downstairs. "Pa! Rheyna brought home her boyfriend!" she yelled.
"HUH?!" the man yelled back, and his frantic steps echoed before he came out from a corridor I didn't see until now. "Rheyna, when did you get a boyfriend?!" the man asked with an exaggerated expression rivaling Rheyna's little sister.
His gaze darting to me, scanning me up and down. "And he's handsome!" he yelled with wide eyes.
"Pa!!!" Rheyna yelled back, her cheeks flushed from embarrassment.
Rheyna then turned to me, grabbed my wrist, and immediately pulled me along, past her little sister and up the stairs. "We'll be in my room! Don't disturb us!"
"O-Oi! I don't want a grandchildren, yet, you hear me?!"
'I'll just pretend I didn't hear that.'
.
With a loud slam, Rheyna locked the door.
"Ha..! How embarrassing..!" Rheyna says in that loud-quiet voice that only makes it funnier as she taps her knuckles to her noggin.
"Your family seemed pretty jolly." I comment, sitting on the edge of Rheyna's bed. My bag leaning against the bed leg.
Rheyna turns to me and stares. Her lips pushed together into an awkward line. "Please forget what you saw..." she pleaded.
"Heheh- Nope!" I reply with a cheeky grin on my face.
"Haah..!" Rheyna slumped her face onto her palms as a sigh escapes her. "Maybe I shouldn't have brought you here..." she muttered.
Not long after, the faint sound of clothes rustling could be heard. Rheyna looks up from her palms and her eyes blow wide behind her glasses, her cheeks flushing red. "W-Why are you stripping?!" she stammered, watching me pull my arm out of my uniform's sleeve. "Huh? Aren't we gonna do it?" I ask, tilting my head slightly.
"When did I say that?!" Rheyna yelled, visibly flustered while hiding behind her fingers.
"Well, you brought me to your house first thing after becoming official, so I thought you wanted to fuck me." I say as I rest my palms behind me, supporting my bare upper half. "Do you not want to?" I add.
"I do! B-But..." Rheyna trails off, finding the right words to say. "Isn't this too early?? Shouldn't we wait until after our 1 month anniversary at least??" she says, rational despite there being a half-naked boy in her room.
"Hm... You're right, but..." I rise from the bed and walk to Rheyna. Stopping right in front of her. "Aren't you curious..." I take her wrists and guide her palms to my chest. Her warm digits sending small jolts of pleasure down my spine. "How irresponsible sex feels between two young adults?" I whisper in a low, honey-like voice.
'An opportunity like this won't come again if we wait until marriage. And frankly... I really want to experience what sex feels like after dying a virgin in my past life. I'd also rather not risk dying a virgin in my second life too.'
"Y-You..." Rheyna trailed off, her gaze drifting to the side. I can tell from her eyes that she's still uncertain about this. 'Should I give her another push?'
"Rheyna... do you not want to take a guy's first time?" and the moment I uttered the words "first time," Rheyna snapped to me so fast that it looked like a blur. "F-F-First time?! You haven't it done it before?!" Rheyna yelled out loud, shocked to hear that I'm pure. 'Can't blame her. If a girl acted like this in my old world, I wouldn't think she's a virgin either.'
"Uh, huh. You're my first female friend, my first girlfriend, and if you want to, you can be my first woman. Though, I'd really like it if you were my last, too. And by that, I mean marriage, of course." I reach up and scratch the back of my head, feeling slightly embarrassed by my own words. "I... really think we're compatible, but if you still don't want to, then I'll-" but before I could finish, Rheyna tackled me to the bed. A gasp escapes me as my back dips into the mattress.
Rheyna gets up, her hands pushing against the mattress to my sides. "When you say all of that... how can I reject you still?" she murmurs. Her expression still flushed red, yet, there's this hunger to it now that has me catching my breath.
"Heh... Just promise to marry me, and I'm all yours." I say with a grin on my face. Rheyna's throat flexing after I did. 'I promise to be a good lover, Rheyna. Just treat me right and I'll give you everything and so much more.'
With her eyes locked with mine, she parts her lips. "I promise I'll take responsibility! Once I graduate from college, I'll get a good job, and then I'll marry you, Mark!" she vows, and not once did she break eye contact when she did. And perhaps for the first time since I've known Rheyna, she actually looks dependable. 'I think my heart skipped a beat just now... Maybe I'll be put in my place sooner than I thought.'
"! Wait- W-What about birth control?! Today's not a safe day for me!" Rheyna panics. And just like that, her dependable image crumbed and was blown away by the wind.
"Pfft! It's okay, Rheyna. I took the pill on our way here. So even if we do it raw, there won't be a baby." I reassured, not wanting either of our first times to be done with a condom. 'Thank goodness male birth control pills are readily available in this world. Though, I'd rather not take the pill again after this. I don't want to increase the risk of side-effects.'
"But only this time, okay? Unless it's a safe day, we're going to use condoms." I say while wiggling my finger in front of her.
Rheyna's jaw dropped for a brief second before closing into an awkward line. Her throat flexing as she swallows her spit. "I'm so lucky you chose me, Mark..." she murmurs.
From her comment, a small smile formed on my lips. "Mhm. So don't lose me, okay?"
"Never..." she whispered. Slowly, Rheyna closed her eyes and leaned in. Her lips inching closer to mine. 'This is it... This will be my first kiss.' I reach out, wrapping my arms around Rheyna's neck as I pull her close.
Soon, our lips finally meet. 'So soft... I might get addicted to this...' I thought. Both of us are complete amateurs, but that only makes it more intimate. We're experiencing what it's like to make love to another for the first time, and that fact makes my heart flutter in my chest.
"Mmmph..." I moaned into her mouth. Every breath I take smells distinctively of Rheyna. And I love it.
'So this, this is what a boy's lips feels like... It's unlike anything I've felt before. It's really... nice. When I marry Mark in the future, can I have this before I go to work every time? That would be incredible...'
After what feels like an eternity, Rheyna pulls back. Her chest rising and falling as she gasps for air. Her pupils shaking as she looks down at me breathing heavily like her.
We stared into each others eyes. Even without uttering a word, I know we're thinking of the same thing. 'It's time. I'm actually going to lose my virginity... I'm so nervous I can hear my heart beating in my chest.'
Rheyna breathed. 'I... I'm about to have sex with Mark. Real, consentual sex.' she thought to herself.
However, an idea soon appeared. A temptation that whispers to her.
'Should I... use the app to increase Mark's sensitivity..?'
