Chapter 1345 - Apartments At The Cliffside Villa



~ Los Angeles, the Cliffside Villa ~

June 15

7:13 AM

Oni woke up and glanced at the man sleeping next to her. She can't believe that is Michael and that the two of them are sharing an apartment! And the best thing ever is that his arms are around her! Ah, she feels like pinching herself just to make sure it's real.

They arrived at Los Angeles on the 13th, and because some of the furniture was delayed, they stayed a day longer in their rooms. After dinner, Oni sneaked in Michael's room to sleep for the night.

On the next morning (the 14th), the two of them packed their personal things in boxes and spent the day on a date: a museum, one wildlife center and three bowling games ended with a drive-in movie. Oni never smiled so much in her life. She was getting facial cramps by dinner time.

When they returned home, the boxes with their things were already moved to the apartment on the second floor underground which they picked previously.

The building with apartments has three floors, with one above and two under the ground. The above ground level has two three-bedroom apartments (currently unoccupied), and a common area where seating, a large television and several games are available (pinball machines and a pool table). The two levels below the ground are identical: each has four two-bedroom apartments. Out of those eight apartments, Haru and Nala are in one, and Allen and Julius in the second one. That makes Michael and Oni occupants of the third apartment.

Apartments don't have laundry rooms, but one laundry room is available on every floor with two washing and two drying machines in each.

Other than bedrooms, every apartment has matching number of bathrooms, a kitchen, dining and living area, den and a powder room. 

The apartments are underground, but just like underground rooms in other buildings, there are faux windows which are projecting the outdoor images reflecting the weather and the time of the day, or can be customized. The air conditioning and ventilation are flawless, the air is fresh, and it does not feel like they are underground at all.

Oni is ecstatic to have so much space just for her and Michael. She noticed that walls are mostly empty and the two of them agreed to go shopping for some shelves, decorative items or maybe some artwork to fill them up. Ah, the two of them will go shopping to fill up THEIR apartment!

Last night they unpacked and got ready for the night. Oni can't believe that they are sharing a closet!

They are still on kissing and hugging only, but Oni can tell that it's getting more intense and that Michael is doing his best to hold back. Oni has mixed feelings about this. Part of her is happy that he is holding back because of her, but the other part is eager to move forward and go all the way. Nala says that there is nothing better than when you completely merge with the person you love, and Oni is… curious.

Knock on the door got Oni's attention.

There is no surveillance inside apartments, but hallways and common areas are covered.

With Eve-lens, Oni confirmed that it's JoAnna. When she moved to answer the door, Michael shifted and opened his eyes.

"I will go and get the door. It's Anna.", Oni told him while scooting off the bed.

In the living room…

"I thought you will come and see me yesterday.", JoAnna said.

It took Oni a second to understand why JoAnna was expecting her. It's about the pill! Ah, Sarah told JoAnna.

"Uhm… I was busy.", Oni stuttered.

JoAnna ignored the busy excuse. Sarah told her to get this settled for Oni, and JoAnna acted the same day, only to see that Oni is not so eager to get it started. Does she want to risk pregnancy? Teenagers… Always thinking that those things happen to someone else.

"Your prescription is ready. I even picked it up for you. This is a three-month supply. You will get a notification when refills are ready.", JoAnna said and tossed a small paper bag to Oni. "One a day. Every day. Don't skip. When was the first day of your last period?"

Oni glanced nervously toward the closed bedroom door before answering. "Two days ago."

"Good. Start taking them today and you are safe for an intercourse as soon as your period is over.", JoAnna spoke quickly. "Where is Michael?"

Oni panicked. It can't be that JoAnna wants to talk with Michael about this? It's too embarrassing! But JoAnna is staring at her and she needs to answer: "In the bedroom."

"Is he awake?"

"I'm not sure.", Oni said reluctantly. He was waking up, but what if he went back to sleep?

"I want to check his eyes before I leave so… can you get him?"

Oni clutched the bag with medicine which JoAnna gave her and walked to the bedroom.

JoAnna examined Michael's eyes and said that his eyes are recuperating better than expected.

"Your eyes are out of danger of complications, so it's down to this redness at the edges and stinging which will go on their own but the cream will speed up the recovery. I recommend that you continue applying the medicine twice a day until you heal completely, but you can stop it anytime you want.", JoAnna explained.

JoAnna packed her things in a small bag and looked at Oni before turning to Michael and asking with a straight face: "Did you ever sleep with a girl who is a virgin?"

Oni swallowed hard and Michael's eyebrows shoot up in surprise.

JoAnna saw that both of them are shocked with her question and she rolled her eyes. "I don't want to pry into your private life, but I want to remind you that the first time for a female can be… uncomfortable. Make sure that she is ready mentally so that she does not regret it later, and also that she is lubricated well to ease the discomfort."

Michael cleared his throat awkwardly. "Got it."

JoAnna bobbed her head. "OK. The two of you take care and remember than until Sarah and Aiden are gone, I am available. I will be stopping by every few days when I get a chance to check on you."

JoAnna said her goodbyes and went out to join Tiffany who was waiting for her in the garden while chatting with Ryan and Sean. Ryan and Sean are technically staying in the guesthouse on Charlie's property, but in reality they are spending more time in the Cliffside villa with Allen and Julius.

Tiffany wanted to use the time while JoAnna checks on Michael and Oni to talk with Ronin twins because Mike's birthday is coming, and she needs their inputs on what to get for him as a present.

Back in the apartment... 

The door closed after JoAnna and Michael glanced at Oni who is frozen like a statue, obviously still in shock that JoAnna spoke how Oni needs to be ready for their first time. Both of them are aware of JoAnna's mouth without filter but even with that, she can catch them unprepared.

Oni yelped when Michael tugged her hand and pulled her to sit on his lap.

"What are you spacing out?"

Oni exhaled and buried her face in his neck. "Why are you asking the obvious?", she mumbled.

"You don't agree with Anna? Is there something else you would add?" He chuckled and reached with his hand to touch her face.

Oni was frustrated. Why is he teasing her? She saw that his hand is moving up and she slapped it away.

Michael froze for a second before he moved like a flash and pinned Oni below him on the sofa.

"This is the third time you slapped me. I need to punish your insolence."

Oni narrowed her eyes, ready to bicker. "What pun…"

The rest of her words were swallowed in his kiss.

He inched away and looked at her flushed face. "When you are acting out, I need to remind you who is in charge."

Oni smiled. "If this is your punishment, I will make sure to slap you more often."

Michael smirked. "Or maybe I will deny you kisses as a punishment."

Oni's eyes flashed. "You would not dare!"

"No, I would not. Because staying away from you would be punishing myself also."

Oni hummed in approval and pulled him back down because she needs more of those kisses.

At that time, in the garden…

"Done?", Tiffany asked JoAnna when she saw her approach them.

"Yes. You?", JoAnna returned the question.

"I have few ideas.", Tiffany responded, but her face showed that she is not very confident. After all, nothing is good enough for her Mike.

"Let's go… Emma and Bridgette will meet us at the coffee shop.", JoAnna told Tiffany when she read the message from Bridgette.

The four girls agreed to meet that morning and then go together to do some shopping after the coffee.
