Behind it all | Jadine

kisspirin?

The moment I arrived Manila, I decided to visit James and brought some of his favorite coffee and food. May spare key naman ako since he's still staying in our condo. (chos)

I silently opened the door and slowly closed it. I dropped all of the things on the dinning table and placed his coffee on the table near his bed.

*sighs* He's peacefully sleeping. i studied his face while tracing his cheeks down to his lips.

"Matunaw ako nyan" Ugh his accent. It makes me weak.

"So you we're awake the whole time?" I raised one eyebrow

"I knew you were coming" he sat down and looked at the coffee I brought for him. "Caramel macchiato?" He smirked. "You do really know me huh?" he grabbed it and took a sip. "Thank you"

I was literally catching my breath the moment he smiled at me. "Yo-your W-we-welcome?"

"Why are you stuttering?" his eyebrows furrowed as his hazel brown orbs looked at me.. sincerely.

"Ah-wala" I smiled. Hope this will convince him.

"Is something bothering you?" he asked me.

Yes. you. the way you look at me. it's bothering me. "Wala nga. Ikaw. Napaka mo talaga." I looked around and something caught my eye. He still has it.

"That concert was memorable." Napatingin ako sa sinabi niya

"And I never thought you'd like the 1975 as much as you like them now." i answered him at binaling ulit ang tingin ko sa litrato.

"Oh we'll go where nobody knows, with guns hidden under our petticoats

No we're never gunna' quit it, no we're never gunna' quit it no"

He suddenly sang and it made me look at him again.

"Yeah we're dressed in black from head to toe, we've got guns hidden under our petticoats

No we're never gunna' quit it. no we're never gunna' quit it no" I sang with him.

"That night was memorable" I said and tied my hair up into a bun.

"Not until Bret crashed our date. He totally destroyed the moment" napailing siya and it made me laugh.

"Crash talaga? di ba pwedeng hindi nakapunta si Andy dahil linagnat ang kanyang anak?" Pinalo ko siya nang pabiro. "Anyways I brought food. Ate Caryl told me hindi ka pa raw nakakain."

He sighed and nodded. "Thanks for coming back Nadz."

I placed my hand under my chin. "Sus, Hindi naman talaga ako nawala eh"

After we ate James decided to take a bath kasi he haven't took a bath since yesterday. Habang liniligpit ko ang aming pinagkainan bigla siyang lumabas sa bathroom na nakatopless at may towel na naka balot sa lower part nang waist niya at na patakip ako sa aking mata gamit ang kamay ko.

"Hoy Hayme! Ano ba yan" Tumalikod ako.

"What? it's not like this is the first time you saw me topless" He said as he was coming closer and closer. "Nadz" he whispered and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Huy ano ba yan!" He twisted me around using his strong and firm arms and faced me to his direction. JUSKO MGA ATE ANG MASKELS DI KO TO KAYA.

"Kisspirin please?" he pouted and shifted his face closer to mine. I can feel his breathing on my face nang may biglang nag doorbell.

"fvck" biglang sambit niya. Parang ang lahat nang dugo sa katawan ko pumunta sa mukha. ANG INIT! JUSKO LUPA KAININ MO NA AKO.

He let go of me and walked directly to the door.

"Bro!" Biglang sigaw ni.. Bret *facepalm* He walked directly to the kitchen and para bang na gulat siya nung nakita niya ako.

"Talent mo ba yan? barging into my moments with Nadz?" James hissed as he leaned his body on the wall.

"Hoy! Hi-hindi kaya tayo nag momoment!" Binatukan ko siya at binaling ang tingin ko kay Bret. "Wag kang maniwala sa sinasabi nito." I rolled my eyes and sat on the counter.

"I wasn't really thinking you were here Nadz. Im so sorry" Maypakagulat parin siya.

"Nasaan ba kasi si Andy? Ba't andito ka?" Tanong ni James

"Why are you pushing me away?" natatawang sabi ni Bret. "I went here because.." He walked directly to James' fridge and opened it. "I'm starving" hinalungkat niya talaga ang fridge ha. nakakaloka. "Why is there a lot of food?" he shifted his head away from the refrigerator door.

"Ay dala ko yan from the airport kanina, sige kuha ka lang" I smiled at him.

"Pambihira ka talaga" napailing si James. "Pasalubong ko naging pasalubong mo din."

I laughed. "Ano ka ba, magbihis ka na nga"

= = = = =

After Bret left, Oh yeah I forgot to mention he lives in the same building so he's always around here. Me and James decided to head to the mall kasi may pa-private shopping ang H&M

MALL

Habang nag lalakad kami, nakaalalay parin si James sakin.

"Hi Miss Nadine, Hi Sir James" Bati nang sales lady samin I smiled and waved at her while James well, snob lang siya. ewan ko ba. hahaha

May napili na rin akong mga damit na magagamit ko for my summer outing yung parang bohemian thingy, may ilang mga dresses rin para magamit ko naman for my different appearances. While I was fitting a dress na medyo showy sumulpot bigla ang sales lady.

"Ma'am picturan ko kaya ha?" She asked me while smiling.

"sige" I nodded and she snapped a picture of me

"Thank you po ma'am sige, Pumili pa ho kayo." she smiled and walked away.

"Nadine" napatingin ako kay James na naka busangot at napakunot ako nang kilay.

"Ano?"

"That's too revealing. choose another one" he hesitated.

"Bakit naman? this is for my summer trip naman eh" I looked down to the dress.

"Ano? Diba we're going to Japan?" he crossed his arms

"Ah-eh kasi James, about tha-"

"We already talked about this Nadz, sabi mo hindi pwede sa birthday mo kaya summer nalang." he looked at me emotionless.

"Kasi.. sabi ni papa sa susunod nalang daw" napayuko kong sinabi natatakot akong tumingin sa kanya.

he sighed. "Sige, i'll grab another company nalang" and he walked away.
