FORBIDDEN LOVE SERIES: CROSSING THE LINE

PROLOGUE

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Los Angeles International Airport. Local time is 3:45 p.m. and the temperature is 14 degree celsius. For your safety and comfort, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the captain turns off the fasten seatbelt sign. This will indicate that we have parked at the gate and that it is safe for you to move about. Cellular phones may only be used once the Fasten Seat Belt sign has been turned off" I smiled at the kid who kept on showing her doll to me and then I continued. "Please check around your seat for any personal belongings you may have brought on board with you and please use caution when opening the overhead bins, as heavy articles may have shifted around during the flight. If you require deplaning assistance, please remain in your seat until all other passengers have deplaned. One of our crew members will then be pleased to assist you"

After the landing I went to get my own luggage. I was walking with Jamaica, Princess, Jude and Angeline. We're actually ten but the other six of us are in the different flight.

Kaming apat lang talaga ngayon ang magkakasama. Josh and Kylie were with us in our first flight. I actually never saw myself having this circle of friends.

I only have one person before. I only rely on having him by my side. I didn't expect that this time would come, not even seeing or hearing things about him for years.

"Sama ka later, ha. I know some of my boyfriend's friends so we can go out with them. Gabe doesn't have work tomorrow so he told me to come with him at the bar" si Jude na kanina pa nagchecheck ng cellphone niya. Mukhang kausap niya ang kaniyang kasintahan.

"It's an high end bar, right? So, they'll shoulder the drink?" Angeline asked, she's the one who loves to drink. Malaki lang talaga ang alcohol tolerance ng babae. She's the funniest too.

"May pogi, ha?" Si Princess naman na ginagawang inspirasyon ang mga gwapo. I still remember her in college, she would go to the library where the IT students mostly are. Gwapo kasi ang mga IT students halos. Sa library siya naglalagi sa tuwing malapit na ang midterm and final exams.

"Most of them are beautiful, Princess" Jude assured them. Jamaica was just there, slightly shaking her head, but still smiling. "Chance na natin 'to para magbingwit ng Afam"

"May afam ka na" I seriously looked at her.

Itinaas naman niya ang kaniyang dalawang kamay sa ere. "Sorry na, nakakalimot ako minsan"

I just walked faster them. Agad namang humabol sa akin si Jude na kumapit pa sa aking braso at kumurap-kurap.

"Sorry na. Hindi na mauulit. I know you don't like it when we joke like that" she even pouted her lips.

Bumuntong hininga nalang ako. I am just like this. I don't want hearing them saying like they'd collect men so they could have a lot of choices. I would never like it when men say that either.

Ano to, multiple choices at kung may chance na all of the above ay 'yon ang pipiliin?

Love doesn't work that way. We don't have a lot of choices and then pick the better one if you finally got the chance.

If you want to pick the better one, don't waste other people's time and affections for you to made it.

Dumaan sa aking isipan ang partikular na taong 'yon. I've said that to him a lot of times. I've said a lot of things to him most of the time. Sa kaniya ko lahat binuhos ang mga panenermon ko.

Nakarating kami ng mga girls sa hotel na binook para sa amin. Magkasama kaming dalawa ni Jude at Jamaica sa kwarto. Si Angeline at Princess naman ay sa kabilang kwarto.

Jamaica is busy with her laptop and probably started her anime BL series again. She loves watching that. Minsan ay kahit nasa get together kami ay nanonood siya. She's quiet most of the time but you can assure that she's always there when you need someone to be with you in a fight. She's like our protector from the bullies, together with Kylie.
