Day Fifty-Eight…
~~*****~~
[ At Nathan's Cabin: 3:00 am ]
Jane and Nathan lost track of time. They continued playing until dawn. That's when Jane decided to test Nathan and confronted him.
"Are you SizzlingAugust?" Jane asked him directly, closing her laptop.
Nathan was taken aback for a moment. 'Damn! Did I give away my identity?' He suddenly lost his composure and he became anxious.
Jane turned to look at him and held his shoulders. Nathan remained tight-lipped, unable to respond to her question.
Before he knew it, Jane pushed him to the sofa, pinning him once more. She put pressure on him as she brought her face closer to his. There was a naughty smile on her lips as she softly mumbled, "You are SizzlingAugust…" Her eyes fell on his lips.
Nathan could only gulp hard, his heart pounding so hard against his chest. Jane's words kept replaying in his mind.
[ "Maybe I should sleep with him once." ]
[ "He is my first love! So I will make love with him once before you kill me!" ]
[ "I am going to use force and ravish him." ]
Feeling distracted, Nathan just found himself being pinned on the couch as Jane lowered her head, capturing his lips. She kissed him! Her lips felt so soft, brushing his lips as she nibbled on his lower and upper lips alternately. Her tongue also moved, urging Nathan to respond.
'Was this another dream?'
Nathan felt something getting hard on his lower body as his body became so hot. He was in this predicament when Nathan heard his name.
"Nate? Hey? Are you listening to me?" Jane tapped his shoulder.
With her action, Nathan woke up from his daydream. Jane didn't push him nor pin him on the couch. She didn't kiss him also. It was all in his mind. Nathan fantasized and just imagined that moment wherein Jane kissed him forcibly.
Nathan's cheeks burned from embarrassment. How could he fantasize about it? For goodness' sake, he was in love with Abigail. And Jane was Abigail's sister! It felt so wrong to have those wild thoughts.
Nathan immediately stood up and pulled Jane up. "You should leave now." He dismissed her without answering Jane's question.
Jane could only watch him in confusion. Nathan's mood changed quickly. He was back to being cold and rude.
'What did I say wrong?' Jane asked herself. 'Perhaps, he is determined to keep his identity a secret from me. He doesn't want to admit that he is Sizzling August.'
Jane had no choice but to step out of Nathan's room. She became unwelcomed in the devil's den. She was suddenly kicked out of his room.
Bam!
Nathan closed the door without saying a proper goodbye to Jane. She was greatly offended by his action. She stormed out with a dark look on her face. It wasn't easy to get along with Nathan. His mood was unpredictable!
But little did she know, Nathan had to kick her out of his room immediately because he was preventing her from seeing something she was not supposed to see. Nathan was so flustered. He felt like he was not in his usual self.
He had to take a cold bath to cool himself down. Jane's presence began to affect him. Was this because of the fact she was the real Shining Star? Nathan was still confused about this. But as much as possible, he knew that he should remain faithful to Abigail. He had to get rid of these wild thoughts about Jane. His attention should focus only on Abigail.
Meanwhile, Jane returned to their cabin where Ethan and Abigail were sleeping. She was about to knock when Abigail approached her from behind. Her mind was preoccupied a while ago that she failed to notice her presence.
"Sis… What are you doing out here?" Jane asked Abigail. "You couldn't sleep too?"
Abigail shook her head. "I woke up and didn't see you. So I went out to search for you. Sis… I saw you… leaving Nathan's cabin. What were you doing inside his cabin?" She asked her curiously.
Jane was rendered speechless. She didn't expect that her sister would see her coming out of Nathan's cabin.
"Sis?" Abigail stared at her expectantly, anticipating her reply.
"Sis. Don't misunderstand. I didn't do anything inappropriate. We just played games to kill some time." Jane explained to her.
"Do you like Nathan, sis?" Abigail confronted her. She wanted to know if her sister had feelings for Nathan.
Jane contemplated for a moment. Should she tell her the truth or not?
"It's okay, Big Sis. You can tell me anything," Abigail said, smiling at her.
Jane could only sigh in defeat. Then she bobbed her head. "Yes. I like Nathan."
Abigail gasped for a moment. She was surprised by her revelation.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I know… everyone here knows that you and Nathan are in a relationship. He doesn't like me… because she likes you. But don't think that I hate you or I am mad at you because of him. You are my little sister. And I love you." Jane just wanted to clear things up before it would result in a misunderstanding.
After a while, Abigail let out a soft giggle and hugged her sister. "No need to explain yourself, Big Sis. I understand. In fact, I suddenly felt relieved when I heard that. I don't want to hurt Nathan… but my heart and mind couldn't recognize him. Dave… Dave is the man I truly love."
"To think about it… You and Nathan are a perfect match. Go for it, Sis! I will support you. Follow your heart. Make him happy!" Abigail encouraged Jane. "Don't worry about others. I'm not against this. Besides, I am confident that no matter what… I will still choose Dave."
Jane nodded her head with a grateful smile on her face. She already anticipated this. Abigail didn't have any memories of Nathan. And her heart belonged to Dave.
'Sigh. I wonder if there will be a time I can reveal my soul swap with my sister. I have to apologize to her and Dave. I unintentionally hurt Dave's feelings when I was doing my mission using my sister's body. Furthermore, I became intimate with another guy using her own body. I committed a great sin for this couple.' Jane felt so guilty.
"Big Sis. Don't worry. If you need my help, you can always count on me. I will become a bridge between you and Nathan!" Abigail spoke again, reassuring her.
"Thanks, Abi. I appreciate it. However, you should focus on Dave. Don't worry about me. I will handle this, myself."
"And by the way, thank you for giving me your blessing," Jane added.
Abigail held her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. "Of course. You are my sister. I will support you no matter what. We are family!"
"Yes. We are family. I owe you a lot. I will make it up to you, sis," Jane swore.
'I have to catch the people who harmed my sister. I will never allow them to touch her again. As long as I live, I will protect her.' Jane became more motivated to catch the people who wanted Abigail dead.
