Chapter 17

"hey, isnt that leo and his girls?"

"the girls look like they glowed up."

"something must have happened with them during the foundation festival."

Many rumors were now circulating, upon their coincidental arrival at the next day. Where the event just ended as well.

"hey leo! The girls looked like they just glowed or something--" brian said, before he was stopped by val, as they meet at the front gate

"hi leo! And girls! You guys look even better." val said

"yeah, we had something going on. Thats all." leo said

"i see. And that something is very good indeed." val said, as she looked at sheryl, now all red faced

"sheryl, i thought we would keep it a secret from everyone else?" lica said, a bit annoyed

"i just cant help it, i was so happy, i dont know what to react." sheryl said, as brian didnt really understand

"hahh.." The other girls all sighed.

"the only daughter of the taym group, the school madonna, the daughter of an artist singer, and the class rep. How much of a sinner are you leo?" val said, teasing him

"its only natural, hes leo, the one worthy of us!" lica said, with confidence, as val can only laugh a bit awkwardly

"anyways, are you guys ready for the finals?" brian said. "i wont lose to you leo." he added, with reaching out a hand

"bring it on!" leo said, before they shake hands

"about that, i was gonna ask you guys. Would it be alright if we will have a study session?" val said

"where do you want it anyways?" brian said

"what about my place? Im sure my parents would be ok with it." nikki said, volunteering

"really? Would that be ok?" val said

"yeah, they would love me having friends over." nikki said with a smile

"this weekend would be nice." rena said

"ok. Will text you guys the details later." nikki said

"alright, now that has been planned, i think we have to work now. The teachers are calling for us lica." leo said, seeing the tank waving at them

With that, they then dismissed, and the days past, now a weekend..

"whoa.. What a big villa." leo said, as they were appreciating the house

They were now at the taym summer villa, just near the city.

"welcome all! To my villa!" nikki said, excited

"so we can use all this? For the weekend?" val said, excited, before nikki agrees

"lets all now go inside." nikki said, before they now go inside the villa

Inside the villa were many rooms, a big living room, many comfort rooms, and a pool just outside, where they will have no problem for a while.

"now that you guys have discovered many aspects of the villa, can we now go to studying?" nikki said, now sitting at a big table

They were now at the big living room, where they were all doing what each of them wants.

"haha.. Sorry about that." leo said. "was still appreciating that some things dont change, even through the times." he said while touching a foundation of the house

"what do you mean leo?" val said, curious

"nothing, Its nothing really.. Hes just appreciating the architecture, thats all." lica said, as she got to leo. "leo, lets all now study." she said, before pulling him towards the table

"yeah, lets all study now." rena said, as she and sheryl also got to the table

"if you say so." val said, just pushing her curiosity aside for now

With that, they all now got to the table to start studying.

Then after a while..

"hahh.. I really learned a lot." sheryl said, as she stretches

"me too. I feel smarter now." nikki said, somewhat joking

"alright then, how about we all get a break for a while?" lica said, as they all agree

They then go to the pool, at the back of the house, where they all played until late afternoon.

"hahh.. This is the life." val said, as she enjoys a dip

The girls were all now at the big bath, where they take a dip at the big onsen.

"hey val, im really curious. May i ask on what do you see in that ruffian?" sheryl said

"oh? Love talk? Im all ears." nikki said, as the other girls agree and all gathered near val

"if you want to ask that, i would like to ask the same with leo." val said, redirecting the question

"leo is good, there is nothing to hate about him." lica said

"yeah.. Though sometimes, hes too good, that its a bit boring." nikki said

"hes good, hes is loyal, and he cares for us all. What more would you like?" sheryl said

"oh? Shes learning to talk now." lica said, like a proud friend or mother, and patted her

"for me, i do feel nikkis sentiment sometimes. Though as his capacity is more than what we can really imagine, i dont think we can really say that hes that boring." rena said

"i know, but--" nikki said, before she was interrupted

"you girls have it good. You all should appreciate what leo can give you, or else live to regret it all later." val said

"why would you say that?" rena said, curious

"i came from a broken family, and im only living with my mom. And the reason i also want to be a news reporter someday." val said, seriously, as the girls couldnt really comment

"whats with being a news reporter have to do with having a broken family?" rena said, curious

"i was always a curious one back then, and i would always ask mom the real reason why she divorced dad, and eventually confessed. Her regret of divorcing him, just because she was now bored of him." val said

"and then?" nikki said, curious

"dad is now married to another. Thats all." val said, as a matter of fact, which the girls understood

The mood was now a bit serious, until..

"hey girls! Can i come in?" leo said, over the door

"whoa! Me and the girls are--" val said, before she was interrupted

"its ok!" lica said to leo, which surprised val

"whoa! Lica?" val said, flustered

"we have already graduated from that." nikki said

"sheryls face says otherwise!" val said, referring to sheryl, now being red faced

"you can always make him make you happy, you know." rena said

"and im curious.. How big is he?" val said, curiosity winning over shame

"big enough to make us all happy." lica said, when leo now had opened the door

"its just you leo?" nikki said, as val now stood up with her towel

"yeah. Brian is currently studying on his own." leo said, as he walks in

"i see.. Thanks for the info!" val said, as she rushed to the changing area

"hmm.. I guess shes taking the hint or something?" leo said

"yes leo.. Now, come to us." lica said, as all 4 of them are now ready

Meanwhile, at the living room..

"hey brian! Can we go to the pool? Im feeling like i want to go now." val said to brian, as she was walking towards him, who was still studying

"sure, but why?" brian said, as val was now pulling him

"just felt like it, thats all." val said, as she was pulling him

Then at the pool, where they are now dressed accordingly.

"hey brian, just curious.. How will you make me happy?" val said, as they were now relaxed at the pool

"why you ask?" brian said

"just answer it brian." val said, pouting

"first, i will have to graduate here, then go to college, for a good job opportunity. Then maybe marry you by then. Why you ask?" brian said

"so slow! Women nowadays would prefer to be happy early you know! From what era are you anyways?" val said, pouting again

"oh, i see. So when will we have the ceremony? I think we still need to inform the parents." brian said, blushing

"im not talking about that! What i mean is.. When will you make love with me?" val said, pouting still, before she got in front of brian

"o-oh.. But will i be enough for you?" brian said

"would i be like this, if it werent for you?" val said, before she kissed him

With that, brian was able to give val the happiness she deserves.
