Chapter One

" He was handsome, have a well-built physique and good in playing basketball. In fact he was their Ace player, a true gentleman and had a smile that may melt your heart like an ice cream on a hot summer day.

His eyes spoke of thousands of emotions that I have always gone crazy every time it turn out to a sapphire blue shade. His hair might be a little weird to look at but it gives him a feature that no one can compare.

Sendoh, everybody calls him that but for me his just plain Aki. The man who holds and still keeping my heart. "

' Good morning, Aki ' I said before kissing his refresh cheek.

I notice his shock and i smiled secretly.

This is not the first time i enter his room without permission and i have always come in when he was just out from the bathroom, which gives me pleasure to see him like this -- standing without a slightest movement.

I quickly put my two hands on his shoulder and moves close while touching his still wet hair.

' You know what, Aki. I like it every time i surprise you with a kiss. It always caught you off guard ' I said softly still sliding my arms to have him close to me.

' But most of all, what i like you in the morning is your scent every time you walk out of that bathroom of yours. A clean-aftershave scent that-'

' Jade...' he encountered warning was evident in his voice. I laugh softly then whisper to his left ear.

' Sapphire... i want you to call me Sapphire ' i said then hurriedly put a light kiss on his lips then withdraw my hold.

' I have laid your uniform on the bed and all that you'd be needing for today. If you need anything just call me down stairs...i'm helping your mother in preparing our breakfast ' I said before moving to the door. I was about to close the door when he asked:

' Jade, what are you doing here? '

I looked at him and smile widely.

' Why? I want to see you and for us to come to school together '

When he said nothing, i went down happily.
" You might be all thinking that Aki and I have a relationship, right? Who doesn't -- the way i treat and care for him. The truth is there's nothing going on between us -- that is on his part but for me there is this bond that unite us which kept me doing this crazy things.

I first meet him at school. We both on our first year then and the first time he laid eyes on me and give me those wonderful smile of his... i know right that instant that i should come close to him and be the best girl friend he had "
' Here give me that 'he said while taking all my books and backpack for him to carry it.

My smile widen in pleasure. He hasn't change at all. He was the same person i meet two years ago. Being famous and admire by all especially girls didn't make him boast his ego, not some guys i know. He was still the humble-gentle-caring guy and i love him for that.

' So what time you guys start practicing ' I asked while continue on walking.

' After school hour and no, you may go home without me. Our practice might take long enough than the usual. I dont want you to wait for me '

' Dont worry, my Mom knows that I'm sleeping at your place tonight and -- '

' You what?! '

' I said that -- '

' Jade! ' called a certain voice. I looked at Jessica's face as she stood in front of the school's entrance.

' I almost forgot, we still have something to do before class starts. I see you at basketball gym, okay? Bye! ' i said then kiss his cheek before running towards Jess place.

' But Jade we haven't finish discussing about - '

' We'll talk it after school ' i encountered then went inside the school's premises.

" Did you know that every time we had an argument about something, i always end up the winner? Aki has no power over my stubbornness. And i'm a person who gets what she wanted regardless of others opinion "
