Second Chance (JaDine Fanfiction)

Chapter: No More Heartbreaks

"How did you get my number?" I asked.

"Duh. Associate ng dad mo yung daddy ko. I told them we are friends!"

Walanghiya! At papaano kung malaman ni papa na nagma-marijuana itong babaeng ito?

"We are?" sarcastic kong pagtanong.

"Whatever...." at tumawa siya. "Halika na, sweetie."

"Bakit ba?" usisa ko.

"Wala akong kasama. Mas bet kita maging kaibigan, eh! Please? C'mon, Nadine"

Hindi nagtagal, napa-OO rin ako ni Olivia.

This girl better have something good in store for me. And not put ourselves to jail. Such a brat.

It took me an hour para suyurin lang ang pub na Red Dot.

Haay, ano na nga ba'ng nangyari sa demure na Nadine? How did I change into this woman who resorts into drinking para lang maibsan nang konti ang sakit?

Pumasok na ako at nakita ko si Olivia na nakaupo sa may VIP lounge ng club.

"Hey, pretty girl!" bati niya sa akin.

"Look, it's just 6 in the evening, Olivia. Binawasan ko na ang pag-iinom ko ng liquor." dahilan ko.

Ngumiti lang siya, "Let's eat then!"

"Hayyy. Ganiyan ka ba talaga ka-loner at parang kinakapos ka sa pwede mong ayain mag-club?" and I rolled my eyes.

Tumawa siya. "Who said so?"

Marami pa siyang sinabi matapos, ngunit tila wala na akong marinig nang makita ko kung sino ang biglang pumasok kasama ang kanyang mga kaibigan.

"....James." ang tangi kong naibulalas. Pero tila hindi na siya matamlay. Parang mas maayos na siya noong huli naming pagkikita.

Kailan nga ba iyon?
Three months. Three long months.

I would have been caught if not for Olivia na bahagya akong hinawakan palapit sa kanya. "Nadine...you have to sit." Sabi niya while offering a space beside her in the couch.

"Uh...should I really be staying? Alam mo, parang hindi ko gustong magpuyat ngayon." pagsisinungaling ko.

But she sheepishly grinned, "I have someone I want you to meet."

After half an hour of staring at all the food, while Olive has been drinking like there'd be no tomorrow, her date finally showed up.

"Hey," bati nung lalaki sa kanya. Matangkad, mestizo, at parang bolero.

Skeptical?

Inakap agad ni Olive ang lalaki, "Hi there, love..."

Kung makayakap para namang tarsier, ang dikit-dikit.

Me and my horrible thoughts.

Speaking of horrible, I scanned the club as if finding something. When I finally began to notice the awkward atmosphere, I turned only to see James looking directly at our way.

To my dismay, he is sitting beside a girl. A beautiful one.

WHAT THE HELL?!

Backup plan, Nadine. BACKUP PLAN!

"Oli, who was that you want me to meet?" para na akong timang. Pero keri lang. Kaysa magmukhang nakakatawa sa ex-boyfriend ko.

Tumawa si Olivia. "You were not listening, are you? It's him," pertaining the guy.
