The sky was freezing with the icy moon that went blurry into the clouds. The pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky. It was already 10:00 p.m. Jade and Sapphire took a seat outside as they stepped out of the warm building. Sitting outside, side by side. The couple watched the moving moon as if it was a boat standing in a ocean of dark shades.

"Why is your grandfather doing this?" Sapphire broke the silence that had reigned between them for a couple of minutes.

"What?" Jade replied before turning to her.

"I mean, why is he doing this to me? Why me of all people?" She pressed. "I wouldn't have been so rudely used by you and Ace if not for his will."

Jade gently pinched her cheek which made Sapphire blushed a little.

"I never used you." We signed a perfectly valid contract.

"What?" Sapphire scoffed. "Don't fool yourself! Who was the one who left out the last page of the will again?"
Sapphire took a strain look t the moon that had barely moved an inch.
Set up a meeting for me.

"With who? Ace? Why?!" He fired at her rather, impatiently. Don't tell me you have feelings for that jerk! Someone that you just met!"

"No, Jade. Take care of your cousin if you're having issues with him. But I need to meet with your grandfather, the chairman of BB Company or something. I want to meet the chairman and ask him for myself, why he's doing all of these."

With this, Jade let out an heavy sigh as if a weight has been lifted off him.

"I mean, isn't it only fair that I know? I'm the main party involved." She kept her eyes on the sky.

Jade nodded at her observation. "You're right. I think it's about time you meet him." He agreed.

Minutes later, Sapphire accompanied Jade to his car. He looked at her, with a smile on his face as he gently bit his lower lip.

Sapphire felt a little bit nervous with his look. She tried to control her heartbeats as started at the floor. For a moment, she couldn't stop thinking of their passionate kiss from earlier and why she was feeling as if... She wanted more of it.

"What's it now?" She asked as her voice shivered a bit.

"There's a new ice cream store that opened up in the next street." Jade brought up.

"I think you're not the type of guy to like ice cream." Sapphire replied him.

Jade almost smile with that but he ended up squeezing his lips, making his almost invisible dimple, show.

"I don't really care for it." He admitted. "But still, it's been a while since we met up."

"It hasn't been that long. So, who told you to take long to apologize to me properly?" She raised her eyebrows at him. "Well, as for the ice cream, i... Love it." Her lips curved into a very bright smile.

Jade couldn't help but to smile too. At least, that's a sign that she's forgiven him now and Ace has no chance in it.

"Should we go?" He asked.

"Sure... Let's walk side my side." She muttered as he grabbed her shoulders.

Sapphire on the other hand, wrapped her arm around his waist as they walked into the dark streets, side by side. The streetlights looked so blurry and illuminated, just like the night moon was.

"You're so cute right now." Jade folded his arm around her neck, giving her a quick peck on her chubby cheek.

"And you're so annoying right now." She slightly pushed him away.

The couple walked like love birds on along the street and it was so beautiful, watching the both of them. Some passerbys admired their cuteness while others, walked away without even noticing them. Well, all on Jade's mind was to have fun with Sapphire before the day ends while Sapphire was just rolling in the moment.

In no time, they walked into the ice cream shop and ordered strawberry, vanilla and chocolate ice cream. The iced balls of sat into small cup and two tiny spoons where shoved into it.

Jade held Sapphire's hands as they went to take a seat. Jade admired her fingers once more. She had beautiful, long nails that looked so angelic. Even though she's an ordinary girl, he loved the fairness and texture of her skin.

Sapphire gave him a spoon of ice cream to taste, first but he denied. She wore a puppy's sad face at him then he took it. Jade took the other spoon too, to feed her with it. Instead, he deepened the spoon into his mouth, making her wear that same sad, puppy face again.

"Awwwwn... I'm going to feed you now." He muttered calmly which made Sapphire smile again. She fed her every bit of it, and ended it with a soft kiss on her lips.

That night was one of the best, ever. Jade took Sapphire home on his back when she was feeling sleepy. He covered her with her soft blanket and planted on her forehead a goodnight kiss before leaving.

That night, Jade drive to his grandfather's mansion. Although, the gates were opened, Mr. Stephen had to wake up around by midnight to attend to his grandson.

"What brings you here? I didn't call you over." Mr. Stephen started, adjusting his glasses on his almost crooked nose.

"When is your schedule free?" Jade asked, impatiently.

"For what? I'll still be alive and kicking for a good while, yet. So, don't count your chickens before they hatch."

"Sapphire said she wants to meet you." He started with a clear, sincere voice, which made the chairman turn his gaze at him. I think it's about time you two have a face-to-face encounter, anyway." Jade explained.

"That punk, Ace did something unnecessary, and now this."

"But you're the one who started all of this." Jade almost rolled his eyes at his grandpa but he looked at him with so much guilt in his eyes.

"Fine. Bring her along on the day of our anniversary celebration."

"What?" Jade looked stunned.

"Yes. Invite her." The chairman finalized.

"B..but grandpa." He muttered as confusion painted his face, black.

The Following Morning, Jade invited Lucas to his office in order to discuss things properly.

"You think he's unaware of what'll happen if Sapphire appears there as my date?" Jade muttered, still flushed at the thought. "I'm sure the media would make the day, heaven."

Lucas couldn't stop thinking about it. Yet, he noticed the confusion in the eyes of his friend.

"I know it's confusing but how do you feel about all of this? If you bring Sapphire to the party, you'll have to officially acknowledge her as your partner. And you know what that means, don't you?"

Jade couldn't help but to let out a deep breath. Even though he loves her dearly, it felt as if it was too early for all of these to be happening. Sapphire is like a hidden treasure he wouldn't want anyone else to find out.

Okay guys, so sorry for this short chapter. Recently, some things are stopping me from writing but I'm pushing through.

I also feel I need to introduce some characters. So, let's see what I have for us...

I made this aesthetics for Gabby. I know Harry Styles is kinda old to play this role but... I've always imagined Gabby to have his features.

Next is Chloe Charles. Well, I've always imagined her to have a black, short hair and slightly tanned skin. For me, it feels like it gives her a bad girl's vibe and a boss lady look as well.

Next is Ruby. I've always imagined her to be a blonde. She should be cute and also kinda obsessed with Gabby's music. She should be a big fan and also a fashionista. Young, sexy and elegant.
