The Juice is Worth the Squeezed

Chapter 35-The Juice Is Worth The Squeezed

Geoffrey POV

Geoffrey is standing on a hill, overlooking the white house that Methel and him decided to buy for their family. It's like a beach house, open space, lot of air to breath, all that kind of comfortable things that makes it more cosy and nice.

The two of them are husband and wife now. Exchanging bows in a small church, their wedding was small and intimate. Only the closest on their family were invited. 

He is working now to his parents company and studying abroad at the same time.

Geoffrey actually didn't agreed on studying out of the country because when he thinks of leaving his wife and their baby boy whom they named Nathan... he can't stand it but he was reminded by his best friend Phillip, that a coin always has two sides right? And it's also Methel, his wife, who asked him to finish college for hers and for their baby's sake.

His mother and father are of course delighted when they learned he still plans to finish his studies and eventually learn the ways of their company but this time, Stefan is with him also. He's a changed man now... though sometimes Geoffrey doubts it because he is still annoying and stupid.

"Hey Geoffrey," he heard Josh.

Josh and Kristine are solid couple. They are both studying on the same University and a week ago, they decided to live in the one apartment. 

'This lazy dog! How can a guy like him be accepted by a smart girl like Kristine?' wondered Geoffrey.

Don't get him wrong... He knows that Josh has his unique skills, he has his own ways to win the ladies hearts but sometimes Geoffrey can't help but wonder.

"The house looks great by the way," added Josh, now standing beside him.

"Thanks, Methel chose it," Geoffrey replied with a small smile.

"I think that place is great for starting a family," commented Josh then they heard a car approaching, "it's Tristan."

Tristan is now engaged to Serena. 

'I guess guys like us... (Tristan and myself) are the ones who retire early to settle with a girl after all,' thought Geoffrey to himself as he watch one of his best friends make his way towards him and Josh. 

Tristan took the place beside Josh and Geoffrey immediately noticed that he looks troubled.

"What's your problem?" asked Josh who also noticed the brooding expression of TJ.

Tristan stared at him then to Josh. "Serena is delayed," he replied almost whispering.

"What?" Josh and him replied at the same time.

Tristan shook his head, as if he now decided to do something.

"Ok, I will admit," he said and in nanosecond, his face now determined, unlike his previous one who can compete with the brooding expression of the Starks of Winterfell; grave and long face, "Serena and I did it a month ago."

"Wait, the two of you had sex?" asked Josh, surprised.

"What else, genius?" he snapped at Josh, "what happened? I thought Serena is a different girl? you said so yourself."

"Yes! She is different," replied Tristan defending her girl, "but I think it's my fault."

When Josh and him didn't interrupted him on his confession, T.J. willingly continued.

"Serena got jealous from this girl that I fucked multiple times in the past," replied Tristan scratching the back of his head, "and the girl said Serena and I will eventually break up because I can't stand a relationship without sex."

"Well that girl has a point," said Josh with a nod and a firm conviction that made Geoffrey laugh albeit shortly.

"Well at least now you won't be frustrated anymore not having sex but the only problem is that you will now be grounded for life," he told him because that is what happened to him when baby Nathan was born a few months back.

Tristan chuckled. "Actually, I'm looking forward being like you Geoff," he said almost embarassed.

"Really?" asked Josh in a voice that sounded like he cannot believe their friend just said those words.

"What did I miss?" a voice suddenly heard behind them and Geoffrey knows without a doubt that it's Phillip.

Phillip took his place beside Tristan, staring at the beach house.

"You know guys," he said side glancing in each of them, "everything we do, has its own consequences," he smiled to himself, "but the question is, is it worth it? Is it worth it for us to suffer the consequence that comes with our choices?"

"If the juice is worth the squeezed right?" he asked.

"Yeah," Phillip replied giving him a look of contentment and peace, "If the juice is worth the squeezed, then do it because who understand opportunity better than us four right?"

"Who are you?" asked Josh amazed, "it feels like I didn't knew Phillip all along, are you his twin?"

Phillip suddenly laughs and the three of them joined him.

'Yeah,' Geoffrey said to himself looking at the figure that came out of the house, carrying a baby.

Its the the girl that he'll be spending his life with and the baby boy they'll raise together.

An unwanted chuckle came out from his mouth.

The juice is definitely worth the squeezed.
