Stargazer – Stacey
72She’s like an angel who fell down the craze
Only not to save me
but swoop down and kiss away the maze
either way, I tucked her in…
We arrived back the city Monday morning. I worked all day like a ghost. Should I be back at the Highlands where I left my mind? I asked myself. I sighed…and smiled thinking how amazing the place was. I drank my fourth cup of coffee for the day. Somehow my thoughts flipped back in. Tomorrow’s coffee will taste a bit different. Perhaps, yummier…Yesterday is done. What happens in Tagaytay, stays in Tagaytay. Just like all those sayings. The thing is, a new day is always more interesting…if not sweeter. Too early to reminisce moments like that. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go back to the Highlands. lol
Anyway, we are where we are…Monday at my office, about five, about time to prepare to go home. I decided to have the rest of the week off so I filed a leave. I was smiling leaving the building. Peachy was already there at the parking lot, in her new fabulous Audi. I am staying at her place tonight. You know the usual girls’ session…especially after what happened in Tagaytay and the past days. My friend was always updated to the latest cars, what more to my recent encounters.
Peachy made a drift to park beside Tempura House. Thought she was gonna take out some dinner. I got out the car after she threw some come-on-I’m-starving-looks at me. Our drinks were served when Peachy asked me, “So how are you and Jake? Do you think you guys are going somewhere?”
“You mean a relationship?” I asked after I sipped my cold mango juice.
“Hell no. Jewel, I’m hungry, don’t let me repeat the question.” She told me laughing.
“Ok. I like him. He’s nice and kind and he makes me speechless even though he’s a complete prick sometimes. Do I think we are going anywhere? Honestly I don’t know.”
Peachy moved her brows and blinked hinting me continue.
“That’s it. I don’t know, Peach. I don’t want a relationship. Not this month or next month. I suppose you know why. I like him. And I like to have him around. That’s all I know for now.”
I finished my food and I felt so stuffed. Peachy was still eating and was texting in between. She gulped her last icy juice and told me we’re going to Wishing Well at nine. I joked that I’m not going coz she planned it all herself.
“You can’t not go. I have a surprise for you.” She told me smiling.
“Wut?”
“Jake’s gonna be there. It’s gonna be fun tonight” She said.
“You’re like my Law Professor. He used to announce surprise quizzes before the day.” I said emphasizing the word ‘surprise’
“I didn’t announce my surprise, honey.” She clarified.
We hurried back home to rest a while and refresh. Two hours seemed so fast. I showered and wore my casual dress for the night. I was spraying my fave perfume when Peachy pulled me to get out already. She seemed more excited to whatever surprise that’s waiting for me. We arrived at the place after 15 minutes. Wishing Well was a private videoke club. I smiled upon seeing Jacob smiled at me as he was singing a familiar song. I couldn’t help but wonder what the surprise was…
My friend left me with Jake. I sat on the other couch facing him. He smiled at me and said something without a sound…I guessed it was something like ‘I miss you.’ But I could be wrong reading his sexy lips. Peachy came back carrying a huge tray of chicken pasta. Next to her was a girl holding our drinks. Thought it was the waitress but she was wearing a nice pinkish sexy dress.
“Omigosh Stacey?!”
“Jewel I missed you.” She greeted me with some XOs.
“I know. It’s been a long time. When did you come back?”
“Last night. I immediately called Peach to meet you guys and catch up” She said dazzlingly then smiled at Peachy.
Stacey was our close friend. Her family moved out the city two years ago. Like Peachy, she was one of my best friends. She used to be kinda crazy about me. At least she’s admitted that. But that didn’t mess up our friendship. Sometimes Peachy would tease her about that especially after I said I had a crush on her and if I had no boyfriend, I’d date her. Even though I halfly meant what I said, I still treasure our friendship more than anything else. Glad we, three, have maintained our good bond.
We had an amazing night and Peachy was right, tonight was fun. Jake had to leave sooner though. For the record, he didn’t do unexpected things to me tonight. All I’ve seen all night was a babyface Jake. Perhaps, he was amazed meeting Stacey. I couldn’t blame him, the girl’s so hot. Jake sent me a text the minute he left Wishing Well. “I miss you already.” It said, just enough to melt my heart.
The three of us left the place and spent the night at Peachy’s place. She asked me to drive coz the vodka summoned her to be with her bed already. I wonder why. I mean, alcohol have no effect to party people, especially Peachy. We put the knocked-out girl on her queen sized bed. Stacey and I have showered and changed to V-neck tee and boxers. Peach always have those clothes for her guests. We talked a bit before hitting the sack.
I was waiting for myself to fall asleep but I couldn’t. I looked at the digital clock, it said 1:30 am. I turned around to check Stacey who was lying next to me, then I looked over Peach, who’s almost soundless. Stacey’s breaths were unpredictable though. I guess she’s waiting for herself to fall asleep too. I finally decided to get up and read some stuffs in the iPad.
Went out on the porch next to Peachy’s room. Perfect place to read. Perhaps, I could sleep here, too. I told myself. I didn’t notice the time coz I enjoyed scrolling over a site called Hubpages. I heard some footsteps coming closer to my spot so I looked to see who it was. Plain tee apparently couldn’t hide Stacey’s sexy physique. She was holding two tall glasses of apple juice. In that moment, I realized I was thirsty.
“Hey, can’t sleep either?” she asked after giving me the other glass of juice.
“Yup. Thought to read to fall asleep.” I chuckled.
“What are you reading?
“Different stuffs. Then I came across this beautiful poetry. I was reading it when you appeared.”
“Really? Can you read it to me?” she asked. Her eyes told me I have no choice to say no.
So I read the lovely poem entitled The Locked Box. It’s from the poetry collection of Cathy Nerujen. Stacey quickly grabbed the iPad from me. “It’s damn beautiful. I loved it.” She yelled then checked the webpage. As if she wanted something more. Stacey sat beside me in the big couch. Her eyes focused on the page.
“Oh wow, it’s so beautiful. Hmm it seems that you read a different thing?” she wondered.
“No. It’s the same. I’m done reading the whole poem. See the ones inside the parentheses? I was gonna read them to somehow get another meaning then you suddenly came.” I explained.
“So did you get another meaning out of those words?”
“I…didn’t yet.” I laughed. “You’re here. I was kinda distracted.” I said.
Stacey gulped her icy juice one more time and looked at me smiling. “Let me read it to you, baby.” She said sweetly as she leaned closer at my side. She spoke softly while I gazed straight at the horizon of 2 o’clockish.
“Took my eye off you for a moment
and not liking mysteries…
Heard her say. My eyes straight, my ears were seeing now. Stace swiftly looked at me.
Not liking to be kept from something...
She continued and breathed.
and not liking to sit and wait about
and not liking to stay out late in
the evening chill –
Heard her breath but not mine.
and not liking to hear you cry,
and suddenly knowing what to do
because I love you –
She paused for a moment and turned to me.
I tried to hold my breath.
your eyes are beautiful when you look at me
And not liking to leave out anything –
I didn’t bother with the box -
I knew it would be open anyway...”
She finished. It was an unusual moment of me so speechless like this. Stacey somehow knew how to bring me back to life. She breathed in and exhaled…felt her breath at the bottom of my ear awaken me in the chill. Then her lips kissed the same spot. I tried to catch my breath when she ran her fingers through my hair. I knew I needed air, so I kissed her like crazy. Her hands moved down my back. Her fingertips lined my curve then reached my collarbone again. Her lips lingered on mine as her hands were wandering lower. She pulled me more to her as if we couldn’t be closer than that. She kissed me again and again and it felt so amazing. I caught her smiling when I let out a little moan. Had never been intimate with a girl like this before - the way she was with me and the way she touched me.
She’s like an angel who fell down the craze
Only not to save me
but swoop down and kiss away the maze
either way, I tucked her in…

This was beautiful Blaise. Thank you for sharing.
Cheers
Oh my lordy........
Fehl...this is awesome. I hit the tabs like crazy, I even hit the print button there by mistake. I was reading this as Cassy said she saw your tweet of this from earlier (thank you twitter, I am joining it now) and I am so loving this. This is your best and bravest yet.
I love the way you lead into this, though I got confused as I thought it was from Jake's point of view it was being written. In the 4th paragraph I read...
"...Peachy asked me, “So how are you Jake? Do you think you guys are going somewhere?”
“You mean a relationship?” I asked after I sipped my cold mango juice...."
I thought that was a reply to the Jake question, and got mixed up. But please don't mind that, as I know the first person narrative is from Jewel's point of view...totally loved the onset of the evening, and winding down, relaxing on the porch and a certain Miss Nerujen's hub being read...hum, who could that be, I wonder? Hee!
Oh Fehl, I was thrilled to see my words woven into yours, like this...how amazing you are...what a way to read a hub from you. And I am reading so many things into the two girls here with each other. It is so beautiful. I enjoyed and savored each and every word.
This is just beautiful, and I am smiling now. Jewel was kissed by an angel. These three remind of three others. LOL.
My imagination is running away with me. Miss Curly will love this when she reads it. She is still asleep...almost soundless... ^_^
You are a Genius. XOXO
Blaise your hub was outstanding and I enjoyed it very much, thank you for taking all that time to share it with us, it was really appreciated.
What a beautiful way to write this story. l felt myself drifting through it , light as a feather.
Beautiful.
Oh dear, I don't see the long comment from Cassy that she left you. What happened, Fehl? Why is the comment missing? I will ask her, but I'm sure she wrote a biggy here earlier.
Hey Fehl, back again. Aw crap, I wrote a major comment yesterday, and it's gone. Maybe the gremlins got it. Anyhooo.... I am happy to leave an even bigger comment now. Heh! :D
I am so chuffed at seeing this delish new hub from you, Fehl - it's very nice and naughty. LOL! I didn't expect the ending to come up like that. Yummy mix of Jewel and Stacey. And it is so sweet too. I agree with Cathy about three, as it is a lucky number for sure. LOL!
I am reading this and it feels like there is a wee bit more in here than I will say here, but basically you are amazing to have written such an awesome hub. I can "get" many things, and Peachy loves cars too. *grins like crazy*
What makes this awesome is that you can blend this so well, with lots of interesting things and have a nice "surprise" at the end. This made moi day! Okay, both days! Heh! Cathy said your next book won't get here fast enough, and I agree. Fehl, you never cease to impress me, and you have written a terrific awesome hub here.
As for Stacey and Peachy, wow, I feel I know them already! LOL! I can relates to everything here.
Oh by the way, the Alexa rating of your website has shot up, so you must be getting lots of views! :)
Wishing you a perfect and terrific day, Fehl! I put this up with your Best Ever Hubs! Mwaaaaaaaah! ^,^ XOXOXOX
2nd comment not accepted. Houston, we have a problem.
Trying this on a different browser. Will email you, Fehl.
Yaaaay! It worked! My comment is right here, Fehl! How did it get delayed, wonder was it lost in the hub mail system or something. I'm glad it is published! Hehehe! Yes I will email you, Fehl. Oh, and Megumi part 4 is up and published, the naughty girl! LOL! I know you love the Megumi hubs, moi friend! Cheers! Have a nice relaxing monday! XOXO
Thank heavens for that. Will email that to you tonight. Cheers! Yes, it's a cool website! Fvenue.com is excellent. Back link heaven here for a hubber! :)
The non-comment thing is sorted out now. I'm glad. I totally love this hub from you, Fehl. So wonderful. My car being fixed finally. Yaay. We going to the movies tonight. XOXO
Totally astounding I as swept off my feet. What an awesome write - I was oblivious to everything else until I reached the last words. Voting up and pressing the appropriate buttons as always.
Hey Fehl, the car is being collected next monday. I am good. Angels were watching over me. :) And I have so many Angels to thank and to love ... ^,^
We are so wanting to see the new 3D Kung Fu fat little panda again. LOL. We saw Water for Elephants. With hunky Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame. Heh. Was good, but chemistry between him and Reese Witherspoon was minimal. Chemistry is awesome when two people truly love each other. You look after the tummy, please? :) XO
I had to come back today for another read of this hub...I am reading "Toss and Turn" again as well. I hope your sunday is peaceful and relaxing, Fehl. :) Take care. XOXO
I wasn't impressed with our film choice, but is nice film to go along to and everyone cuddle together. Hehehe. Aw, yes, we want you to see a movie with us, Fehl. LOL. That would be awesome. Mmm, peek at someone's diary, haw? Cheeky...but nice. LOL. Mwah you too. "Toss and Turn" is awesome.... ^_^
Fehl, you are magical. And I don't mind you peeking. LOL. Um, I mean that in a nice way of course. LMAO. Okay this comment started off crazy. Stop teasing me or I'll melt my brain. LOL (Hugs you like crazy). ^_^
wow. I should have expected that. Hmm and I love how you put astras poem in this. The locked Box was excellent. and fits so perfectly! It would just make you wanna reach out and kiss someone!
Hehehe. You said it, Nikki. ^,^
Yaaay, the Locked Box is certainly doing the rounds. Thank you Fehl and Nikki :) xx
(Blushes) No I'm not. Hehehe. But thank you for making me feel good, Fehl. You are magic. You'll like Nikki's poetry and hubs. Her writing, it's so different, and I recommend it highly. And Nikki too... :)
Oh, that Locked Box poem...you made the extra quotes in parenthesis fit in this hub real nice. I have special personal attachment to this hub, for personal reasons...
I like Nikki's comments here too. Aw, I love my friends here. Mwa mwah for you both. Heh. ^_^
Fehl, I love commenting on this hub, maybe too much...heh. Um yes, the outcome is dynamite. :)
I like the way you said that...you have a way with words, Fehl. Awesome. LOL. You are magic.... ^_^
wow. lol i just read all these comments and now I am blushing hehe. Oh and i should have expected the girl on girl action there lol all this time i was expecting her to get with james...which im still expecting by the way...lol hmm but i dont need to open the locked box, all i need is right here commenting on this awesome hub! blaise thanks so much for checking out my hubs, for you and astra to be such great fans is really all i can ask for. you guys are great,, or as astra says..magic!
I'm feeling a bit like having two left thumbs here, so outclassed...Lol
I do appreciate Cathy's recommendation to explore the land of blaise', and a majestic land it is...beyond compare, actually...
I've grown to love Cathy, Cassy, and Nikki's writing, and find myself even further taken with all of you here amongst a most beautiful and exciting (hah, you know us guys) story of love..one of my all time favorites...for many many reasons....ranging from being similar in immersion to Hemingway's "Sun Also Rises," although a hell of a lot more interesting, to Cassy's, "over-the-top" exciting, and exotic "Megumi part 4".
I love this installment of your "Stargazer series," and look forward to reading more, not to mention the rest of your obvious explosion of talented writing...
I'm totally knocked out and in awe.. Ask anyone, I'm big on emotions and friends, and you my new friend, are crazy destined to be cursed by me...I'll be a close follower for sure..
Thanks again...see ya'..
Unplanned is always the best way to do things. :) let it just happen. and flow off the tongue. write whatever comes to mind. when we start overthinking things, it just doesnt come out as good.
OOoh, someone mentioned my Megumi series...they did happen, waay back. Guess who write the notes? Have you figured which girl it was? Will spill the beans this weekend! Trying to get it PG-13 so I don't get nabbed my Morality Police! Heh! Yes, we are big Nikki and Fehl fans! You gals are awesome! Bill, you will love Fehl's (Blaise's) hubs and enjoy them. She's an awesome writer and poet. Nikki, Cathy says you are awesome too. Bill, you are a lucky man...LOL! Hehehehe! I love Hub Pages!!!!
Excellent! Love these comments here ladies ...and Bill!
This is my third comment here in the last hour, hope this one gets published.
Holy crap, I'm the luckiest man on the planet!!!
I too love Hubpages, and I don't remember if I told you, Cassy, but your writing drew me in and exposed me to the hubs in the first place....I soooo love you!!!!
I can't wait till the beans get spilled...
I'm so crazy fidgeting waiting for more from you ladies, not to mention, sacrificing my real world career to obsess about blaise' and read more of her writing...ha ha ha...way cool...
I've died and gone to heaven...but look out Hell, here I come...cause they're throwing my ass out for sure because I can't wait for more of your Megumi series Cassy...lol
Much love ladies,
bb
i am still catching up on Megumi. I have only read the first part so far, but i will be reading more today. as soon as i check all my hubpage comments :) thanks cheeky. I am a true fan of yours and blaise and astra's You are all awesome in my book. and you too Willy Billy.
"Awesome"...me?...hah...my tan's blushing red...which is a nice transition to rides Blaise...the only requirement for the ride of your life is tight fitted red fire suits (purely for safety reasons...ha ha ha)..then hold on baby...
Oh yes. quite a turn on! lol
Yea I was wondering that too BBnix?? Youre still blushing!
I love telling this story..and yes, I am still blushing...
bb stands for "bug bear", an ancient term reaching back to medieval England (gotta love us english majors), which like "bogeyman", represents that which scares children in the night, and nix, is the counter to that, as to protect from the "bug bear".. bbnix... the world's greatest super hero who's only power is 'love'... hah!!!
Hmmmm...I love that which lurks in the shadows at night...
That would be a way cool hub....Thanks blaise'
And oh yeah, red faced me...I match my Ferrari...
haha...oooh, ferrari.... That is a cool little tale. I vote for a hub on it too. something like a grim fairytale you would tell the kids about. a spooky nursery rhyme. and how bbnix saves the day.
hell yes...I'm so going to do that hub....ha ha ha...way fun!!
bbnix to the rescue...but the historical piece is awesome...
thanks ladies for the inspiration...
Hey, I like that idea. Sort of a "Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" thing, but way faster, and staring Angelina Jolie, and Megumi too....ha ha ha .. No no....J/K... I'm not touching any of the ladies..Lol
This hub, to be, is getting more an more interesting by the minute. Now if I can get Nikki and Cassy to allow their respective loves, Angelina and Megumi, to participate in a medieval world that includes Ferraris, and sir bug bear, bbnix, we might just have something...hell, at least the illustrations would be way cool...
haha well i give you permission, after all its just a story lol it would be kewl, and if you put lots of photos of angelina up I will be on that hub all day lol
Awesome and interesting article which is well shared.
I love Bill's idea, it would make a great movie. Wonder could we get Stacey and Jewel in there too. Hub Pages at the movies... LOL.
I love how this is coming together. Stacey and Jewel, hell yes, no problem....
The funny thing is is that I draw cell animation and could easily incorporate anyone, including Angelina Jolie, legally, if it's a parody...
Hah...the darker the better I think on the backgrounds to all of this...more drama....
At the very least, a few drawings/paintings of all the characters in certain, tasteful scenes would be totally awesome...
It would all be a perfect precursor to the movie to come..
wooohhh, cudd love it! fantastic work.. ( nakarelate ba?!)
Oh wow...this is going to be made into a film...I better get my hair done. Heh. :) xo
am i too late reading this? :p it was great, i didn't expect this part. 'just wondering what will be the next staggering run.VOTED UP!
Your hubs and Stargazer series is amazing... There are echoes of you everywhere today. XOX
Wow, even your comments have echoes, Fehl. Or else you sent it twice, which still impresses me. LOL. Mwah. I can't get that channel out of my head... Mwaaaaaaah. ^_^
You seem very talented! I really enjoy reading your writing!
Repetitions are good,... like kisses. Heh. You are the best Gift in the world. Your hubs are beautiful. :)
Thanks I have a LOT coming!!!!
The narrative blended with poetry is very engaging. I like your storytelling technique.
Is it just me or has Poetry got very popular around here? Hehehe. Have a sweet day, Fehl. Mwaaaah.

It seems the locked box was opened,great stuff Blaise.;)
