''Promise me that you will take care of August Maijune while I am gone. You have to keep her safe at all cost, Aaron Saint'' Maijune said and a tear dropped from her eyes as she added ''and I am surely going to miss you, Aaron Saint''
"You are all the same to me and I can't love any personality lesser than the other. You won't be gone forever. You and August Maijune will become one and the same person"
"I know. Was I been too sentimental?" Maijune chuckled and asked.
"Been sentimental doesn't fit you at all. Sit properly, let me ask you something" Aaron Saint said to Maijune who was leaning on his chest. Maijune sat up and crossed her legs facing him.
"Tell me" Maijune said curiously.
"Mai told me that you stopped schooling when you were in high school. How was your grades?" Aaron Saint asked.
"Want me to go back to school? Our grades were superb. Too good that even our homeroom teacher thought our results weren't ours" Maijune said.
"So, what did you like to do when you were a student?''
" Follow pretty boys" Maijune said and Aaron Saint frowned.
"Stop messing around Maijune" Aaron Saint warned.
"But, that's the truth. August Maijune and June loved the sight of pretty boys so even back then I can't remember a day that they actually sat down to study. When it was exams, Mai wrote all of them using her genius brain. I just made sure that no one spread rumours about us that's all. Amongst the four of us Mai is probably the most intelligent followed by August Maijune, me and June usually just played around most of the time"
"So, you are not as intelligent as Mai?" Aaron Saint asked in a mocking tone.
"Are you shading me right now?" Maijune asked.
"Yes" Aaron Saint said and Maijune jumped on him.
"Aaron Saint, how dare you mock my level of intelligence?" Maijune said as she tried to hit him. Aaron Saint grabbed her hands and pulled her down and got on top of her. They looked at each other for a second and Aaron Saint leaned closer to kiss her.
"I drank a lot of wine. My mouth smells" Maijune said.
"I don't mind" Aaron Saint said and kissed her passionately.
.....
Julieta opened her eyes and noticed her environments. She turned slightly and saw Dr. Kash sleeping with his head on the hospital table by the bed.
Julieta didn't want to wake him up but she was thirsty so she stretched her hand towards the table to pick the glass of water that was there. Her hand shook and the water almost poured with the glass falling down. Kash caught the falling glass immediately and turned to look at her. Their faces were close to each other.
Julieta gulped and blushed looking at him while Kash just stared at her face.
"Water" Julieta said and took her hand away.
"How do you feel?" Kash handed the water to her and asked.
"I feel fine. What happened to me?" Julieta asked.
"You passed out and we brought you to the hospital. The surgery was successful and you will be fine after some days of monitoring" Kash told her.
"Then, that's it mean I can now... you know with a man?" Julieta asked and her face turned red.
"Yes, you will be able to feel sexual arousals like a normal person again. But you should be careful about who you do it with since there are a lot of STIs now" Kash said nervously.
"STIs? What's that?" Julieta asked.
"Sexually Transmitted Infections"
"But, I want to try it out and see how it feels like. Would you have sex with me then?" Julieta asked nonchalantly and Kash coughed and turned to look at her.
"Why? Haven't you had sex before? You are a doctor, why are you acting so innocent? Are you a virgin or is it because I am not your type? Don't worry, I won't ask you to be responsible for mW after that" Julieta said.
"Hey... you. How could you speak about sex so casually like that?" Kash asked.
"Oh, sorry then. I won't ask you to have sex with me again" Julieta said and placed the glass down
"I didn't say I won't have sex with you. Let's talk about it when you're well" Kash said and blushed. Julieta noticed it and chuckled.
The door opened and Liyah Myers and Maijune entered into the ward with a basket of fruits and a flask containing soup.
"You are awake?" Maijune said and looked at the two people inside asking "why does this place feel awkward? Did we miss something?"
"I will go home and get a change of clothes. Take care of her" Kash said and left hurriedly.
"Julieta, did something happen between you two?" Liyah Myers asked as they placed the things on the table.
"Nothing happened. What did you bring? I'm hungry" Julieta asked.
"We brought you some soup to drink and some fruits. I will cut the fruits for you" Maijune said and Liyah Myers stopped her.
"I still haven't gotten over the prank Mai played at my house warming party. You are staying away from the fruits"
"But, I am not Mai!!" Maijune exclaimed.
"You are all the same person to me. Feed Julieta the soup and let me handle the fruits" Liyah Myers said.
"Tsk!!" Maijune picked the flask and poured some of the soup into a bowl and sat beside Julieta to feed her.
"Big sis, I am curious about something. Can I ask you a question?" Julieta said as she sipped the soup.
"Ask right away. This big sister has a lot of life experience and can offer some good advise" Liyah Myers said.
"How does sex really feel like?" Julieta asked.
Maijune turned and looked at Liyah Myers before turning to face Julieta. Liyah Myers was caught off guard by her question and paused for a minute before saying "you want to have sex with someone?"
"Yes"
"Whoa!! You are quite bold Julieta" Maijune said.
"So, who do you have in mind?" Liyah Myers asked curiously and left the fruits. She went closer to sit on the bed.
"I don't know yet. Do you know a few men you can introduce to me?" Julieta asked.
"Well, I could indeed introduce a few men to you but I'm afraid someone else will come for my head when I do that" Liyah Myers said.
"Not just your head but probably your entire life" Maijune added.
"I asked Dr. Kash to have sex with me but after thinking about it, it didn't feel right so I want someone else to do it"
"You asked Kash?" Maijune and Liyah Myers looked at each other.
"So, what did he say?" Maijune asked.
"He said we should talk about it after I get well but I don't think I am his type. He seems to be having doubts about it" Julieta said.
"That might not be the case. Maybe he is worried about your health. Julieta, sex may seem casual but it is a very serious thing to do. You shouldn't rush into of and wait till you feel right about it and the person you're doing it with. I understand you must be curious because of the effects of the drugs Mimi Garcia gave you but you shouldn't think of it so lightly" Liyah Myers said and touched Julieta's hand gently.
"But, if you want to know how it feels, the you should ask Maijune. She can tell you all you need to know about it" Liyah Myers said, teasing Maijune.
"Hey, when did all this turn to be about me? I wasn't the one she asked about sex?" Maijune said and flushed.
"Oh, you are blushing Maijune. Did you do it last night with Aaron Saint?'' Maijune flushed the more Liyah Myers teased her. Her face became red and she stood up.
" No, I didn't. Pervert, I'm going out for a walk" Maijune said and left the ward.
"She really did of with him last night. I'm so jealous" Julieta said and Liyah Myers looked at her.
....
Maijune removed her black card once she got outside. She saw a man selling candy floss at a distance.
Maijune smiled and stuffed the card back before removing some paper money in her back pocket.
"Candy floss for a sweet morning" the man selling the candy floss said as he stood beside his bicycle wheel.
"How much is one stick of candy floss, mister?" Maijune asked and the man looked up. He smiled at Maijune and said to her.
"Pretty lady, I can you give you five for $10 dollars"
"How many sticks do you have left?" Maijune asked as she looked at the man who seemed to be freezing because of the weather.
"I still have about 100 pieces. Are you buying all?" the man asked.
"Yes, but I will take just four pieces. The rest, I want you to share it amongst the kids playing at the park over there" Maijune said and removed a the money in her pocket to give to the man.
