Friends? 
 
 
M.U? 
 
 
Friends with Benefits? 
 
 
I don't really know what we were to be honest. 
 
 
When we met, I thought that she was a ert or something similarly related to that. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
"Jessica, Are you ready?" Asked Miguel who helped me to get money as fast, like how I needed it. Unfortunately, getting it wouldn't be an easy task for me to do so. 
 
 
If I weren't in need of money for my apartment rent, I would never ever take this job. I feel dirty and shameless. 
 
 
"I'd just dance, right?" 
 
 
"Yeah. Grind so you'll get more tips. And plus, you said that you'll only do it this one time. So, make the best out of it" 
 
 
I dropped the call and took one last gulp of the vodka. Yep, I might be doing this but something definitely feels off and my only resort is to get myself drunk before I do this nasty work. 
 
 
I proceeded to enter this cake for the 'surprise' performance of mine that a two girls would push inside that apartment. I slowly headed out from the top; which is the only exit available, and throwing the veil somewhere else. Yep, If this isn't enough, I even had to wear a wedding a gown 
 
 
What shook me is when I went to grind on her, she held my wrist and pinned it to the wall 
 
 
"No touch" I closed my eyes but she backed off while chuckling 
 
 
"Weren't you informed? The guy you're supposed to do that dance with, chickened out" 
 
 
"Oh ..." 
 
 
"He left me the money though" She pointed to the bills on the table and heading inside a room and coming out with a jacket on her hold "Do you mind accompanying me for a bowl of ramyun?" 
 
 
... 
 
 
"Come on, I'd make it especially yummy for you" She beamed and it made me wonder, just who is she? "I'm Yoona by the way" 
 
 
" ... Jessica ..." I took her hand that is outreached to me "Thank you for this ..." I thanked when she placed the jacket on my shoulder and a towel on top of my lap 
 
 
So I ended up earning money just for eating ramyun. And it's indeed yummy. She lent me the jacket and gave me money for the cab fare. She's really nice and it makes me wonder on who she could really be? How come she's so nice to me? 
 
 
 
 
Weeks have passed by and just like as before, I refuse to take anymore offer from Miguel. Sure the first time turned out to be okay, but I wouldn't risk the second or would I ever risk myself in doing such stuff again. 
 
 
The funny thing is, that mysterious girl is still mysterious for me. 
 
 
Until one day, 
 
 
I was walking my dog, midget, who happened to ran to her and her legs 
 
 
That one day we met again, there was something that pulls us together. As if there's a connection that we don't know yet, satisfying. 
 
 
I don't know why but we hang out during weekends. 
 
 
"Jess!" She called out with a smile like the usual.  
 
 
"Took you so long" I pouted and she pinched my cheeks 
 
 
"Even if I'm late a hundred or thousand times, you're still waiting for me" 
 
 
"Are you taking advantage of that?" I asked her crossing my arms on top of my chest and giving her the intimidating look yet she held my hand and intertwined it with hers before we enter the aquarium 
 
 
She's holding it the entire walk we did as we look through the various fishes inside. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 
 
 
A year had passed since that day, and we're closer than ever. 
 
 
"Hey slowpoke" I poked her cheeks continuously with my intention to annoy her and waking her up in the process. 
 
 
I was taken back when she managed to lift me and tossing me to the bed with her hovering on top of me  
 
 
"What?" She asked as she makes me smell her still unbrushed teeth 
 
 
"EEW!!!" I quickly pinched my nose to cover it yet she tickled me before giggling and laying on all fours 
 
 
"Let me sleep for 5 more minutes" 
 
 
"No, We'll be late!" I slapped her "Wash yourself and I'll make breakfast" 
 
 
"Hey Jess" She called out to me who's fixing the apron while she's still laying on her side "Do you still remember the first time you came here?" 
 
 
"Of course. Why?" 
 
 
"Nothing" She smiled then heading for the restroom 
 
 
 
 
 
 
She's not my FUBU, 
 
 
nor a Friend with benefits. 
 
 
M.U?  
 
 
Is it even mutual? 
 
 
Sure we do meet and spend the weekends together, but that's just the gist of it. We just meet over the weekend. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 
 
 
I'm driving and I can't take it anymore. I had to ask.
