AUGUST MAIJUNE'S ROOM.
''Really? I'm jealous and happy for you'' Maijune said.
''You, you haven't forgotten that you and Aaron Saint are now a couple, right?'' Liyah asked carefully.
''No, I haven't. I am August Maijune not just Maijune alone. Whether it is me or August or Mai, I think our feelings are the same''. Maijune said. "It might be the aftermath of the hypnosis that June did but I can remember bits of everything August did in my absence. But, I must applaud her. Getting Aaron Saint to propose to her" Maijune smiled.
''Oh'' Liyah pointed at Maijune's shirt ''you are wearing Aaron's shirt; does it mean you two finally did the deed last night?''
''No, we did not. I randomly picked this shirt and wore because I was too tired last night''. Maijune said.
''I see. But, you…do you know how worried I was? I kept praying that nothing happened to you. When I woke up in the hospital and Leo told me what happened I was so scared. I was happy your memories were back but I was scared that something will happen to you because of that''. Liyah said.
''Nothing will happen to me and last night was my last. I won't ever do anything dangerous again. I came back early for the wedding, right? Is my dress ready?'' Maijune asked.
''You, silly girl, yes is ready. We already went for the fittings the day Lorca drugged us. Tell me, did you use those lingerie we bought that day?'' Liyah asked curiously.
"Lingerie? Did we buy lingerie?'' Maijune asked.
''Oh, you probably don't remember that part. August asked me for suggestions concerning lingerie and we even went and bought some before the incident. That wench made me waste my money for naught. She used a scissors and cut through all the undergarments you had before too''. Liyah finished and saw the bags at the side of the bed ''right, that's the bags. Aaron brought them back''.
''Really? I really don't remember that part'' Maijune stood up and picked the bags and poured the contents on the bed and opened her mouth speechless frozen on the spot like a piece of log.
''Maijune, what is it? Why are you standing like a statue suddenly?'' Liyah asked.
''Big sis, I think I wasn't the one who bath myself last night''. Maijune said.
''What?'' Liyah screamed and covered her mouth immediately knowing Aaron was just outside at the hall. She lowered her voice asking again ''what did you just say?''
''Now that you just mentioned this lingerie shopping thing. Last night, I remember coming into the house and entering the bathroom but I don't remember anything else again''. Maijune said.
''Then, how are you sure that Aaron saw you naked?'' Liyah asked.
Maijune lifted the shirt revealing her blue lingerie saying ''you said August tore all our previous lingerie right? And these bags were in this room. There was no way I could have come inside here to look through these bag and even pick a blue one when it was August who did the shopping. What are the chances of that happening when I was dead tired? I don't even remember coming out of the bathroom or changing into this shirt. Think about it, if he didn't help me to bath and change me into something else then who could have done that?''
''You are right''. Liyah said.
''That only means one thing. Aaron Saint saw me naked last night. He saw me naked, oh my God!!! What should I do? My image, my self-esteem. My dignity all went down the drain because I was too lazy to care about my environment'' Maijune asked as she sat on the bed.
''Isn't that a good thing. You two are already a couple so it shouldn't matter right?'' Liyah said.
''I know, but, if big sis, I'm saying if, what if I was the one who threw myself at him? Won't he think I am cheap?'' Maijune said.
''Did you drink before returning to the house?'' Liyah asked.
''I was drunk even before I started fighting those men''. Maijune said.
''Then, no wonder you couldn't remember anything. But, based on everything you've told me, it shouldn't be a surprise that Aaron saw you naked. But, if he did and he still didn't do anything to you then I will worship him for his resilience and self-control. No man would leave the woman alone without doing anything under those circumstance. August Maijune, you just got yourself a man out of men''. Liyah said.
''Big sis, I find what you said offensive. If he really saw me naked and didn't do anything then won't that mean I am not attractive enough? I mean, how could he not be attracted to this beauty? This gorgeous body?'' Maijune pointed at herself.
''Oh, I didn't know you could so self-righteous, August Maijune? You actually look disappointed''.
''Off course…I am. Who told him to be resilient and not even do anything? I delivered myself to him and he didn't even do anything. How am I supposed to lift my head now? Hump, if I don't do something about this, then I won't be August Maijune Elizondo'. Maijune said determinedly.
'Times like these makes me realise that perversion run through all of you. Whether is August, Mai, June or you. In any case, I am not surprised by anything concerning you anymore. But, wait, what are you going to do?'' Liyah asked her.
''I've made up my mind. I am going to sleep with Aaron Saint whether he likes it or not''. Maijune said emphatically.
''Huh? Maijune, aren't you going ahead of yourself? It is usually the man who is supposed to be this determined but you, right now, you look quite scary with that determined face''. Liyah said.
''I don't care anymore. Tell me, is it always painful the first time?'' Maijune asked.
''Huh? Well…it is but every man and the way he does his things, you know. My first time was with Josh Saint and it was very painful and the second man I have slept with is my husband now so I don't really know how to say it''.
''Just tell me. After the first time, how was it the second time?'' Maijune asked looking at Liyah. Liyah blushed shyly.
''It was better the second time but doing it with Leo is sweeter and better than it was with Josh Saint. Leo is really good at it'' Liyah said and Maijune sighed saying.
''I really want to try it with Aaron Saint''.
Aaron Saint was going to his room when he heard Maijune's words and halted and looked at the door and went closer.
''Then, do it. You are not a kid and you are already wearing his ring. You two are going to get married sooner or later. Is simple''. Liyah said.
''That, I need to consult with August and Mai. What if in the process I suddenly turn into Mai or August? Imagine the fright they will get? And Aaron Saint too. It will be a turn off sleeping with a woman who changes personalities every time. In any case, I think with the way things are going. I am still far from sleeping with Aaron Saint''. Maijune said feeling dejected.
''You know what? Let's go out and play. Only that will clear your mind''. Liyah said. ''I will go home and get ready. Wash up and change and come down. We will go out and have fun today"
''Okay. I will hurry up and meet you outside''. Maijune said.
Liyah stood up and went to open the door. She walked out and saw Aaron Saint going into his room. She didn't suspect anything and went away.
Maijune removed the shirt and threw it on the bed and entered the bathroom. She turned on the shower and poured some liquid soap into her hands and started washing her face when she heard the door opening and spoke ''Big sis, is that you? Did you leave something?'' when she didn't hear any response she continued ''I am in the bathroom; I will be out soon''.
Ten minutes later, Maijune walked out with a towel wrapped around her body. She was cleaning her face with a smaller towel when she saw Aaron seated on the bed and got startled ''Aaron Saint?''
Aaron Saint looked up at her and the towel covering her body, he knew she was naked under the towel and his gaze turned into lust. Maijune noticed the way he looked at her and flushed and the towel in her hand fell down. She bent down to pick it and a stronger hand snatched the towel away. From their closed proximity, Aaron could smell the shampoo scent on her.
Maijune stood up abruptly in an attempt to get away from Aaron Saint and his hand toughed hers pulling her closer to himself as he pushed her against the wall. Maijune flushed and her heart started racing.
Aaron Saint stepped closer, taking in her every expression, from the way her eyelashes fluttered. The way she nervously bit her plump lips and the little drops of water that fell on her skin from her wet hair.
Maijune was now all bundle of nerves. She felt like melting from the way, the man looked at her. His gaze was so captivating and she couldn't tear her eyes away from him. Aaron Saint leaned towards her ears whispering to her as his hand held her in place ''I want to kiss you. I want to touch you. I want to do naughty things to do. Things your innocent brain could never imagine, August Maijune. I am not as gentle as you picture me. You have absolutely no idea the kind of things I want to do to you"
