Alden didn't know if his dizziness came from the accident that happened or because of Maine pacing restlessly in front of him.

He arrived in the Broadway just a while ago and he can't disregard the serious face of Maine waiting for him at the entrance.

"In the host room, now," she said. There's a certain firm in the tone of her voice that makes him nervous. It actually scared him more than just what happened to him earlier.

She's been walking back and forth for the last 30 minutes, heads down, eyes serious and muttering something he can't actually comprehend. She's not minding him but he knows she's throwing death glares towards him for something he didn't know or do.

Tired of all her pacing and silence, he tried to break the ice hovering between them, but......

"Don't even try RJ,..." she said heaving, as if she's been running a triathlon for the last 30 minutes.

"Meng, I don't even know..."

"You know exactly what I mean....O baka gusto mong isa-isahin ko na naman sa'yo. Is it really your job to make me worry every now and then?"

"Maine..." I tried to stand up to approach her but that menacingly Menggay stare that she always give me caught my eye and I back off.

Defeated, I sit back and prepared my ears for her randomly state of the girlfriends address. Yup, she have her own state address and lucky for me, I'm her sole audience.

"Richard, ilang ulit ko bang sasabihin sa'yo to take things easy and always take precautions kasi hindi natin alam kung kailan dumarating ang aksidente. Ilang ulit na rin kitang pinaalalahanan na mag-ingat especially when you're on the road dahil hindi ka pusa na may 9 na buhay at mas lalong hindi ka si Superman na sintigas ng bakal ang katawan....."

And she started and I sighed. I love her very much, I really do but as much as I want to see her so concerned about me, all I wanted right now is to hold her, kiss her and feel her. And okay, I said that I'm fine, but the minor accident that happened earlier pretty much left me tired and scared, I just wanted to hug her for me to know that I'm safe.

My mind wandered aimlessly that I haven't paid attention to all her rant. When I look at her again, there were big tears cascading in her pretty face and she's silently sobbing. Shit, pinaiyak ko na naman siya.

"Hindi mo alam......Richard, na takot na takot ako,"

"Meng..." my voice also quivered, tears were forming in my eyes. Her tears and the accident finally takes its toll on me, making me a crybaby too.

"What if.....what if something happened to you? What if.....what if things happened differently and you were hurt..,"

She's talking incoherently now because of crying and that's the moment that I stand up and gently hug her.

"Shhhh, Meng....stop na. Stop na please."

"I was scared. Hindi ko na alam kung anong gagawin ko kanina ng malaman ko..."

She's shaking uncontrollably and the only thing I know best to calm her is to kiss her. And kiss her, I did. We delve in to each other's mouth for a much needed reassurance that everything was fine. Her moans and gasps revved me up to deepen the kiss and our hands were everywhere, touching and caressing as if our existence depended on it. But human nature intervened and the lack of oxygen finally caught on us causing us to separate and breathe the air between us.

I hugged her close, "I'm sorry okay. I'm sorry."

"Why are you saying sorry?"

"Kasi I made you worry and I didn't listen to you every time you're giving your speeches....Aray ko, Meng naman ehh, masakit pa braso ko." I said pouting.

"Ehh, ikaw kasi, nagsisimula ka na naman..."

"Huwag na kasing masyadong mag-alala. I'm fine, nothing terrible happened. Thank God, but after that I promise extra-extra careful na ang gagawin ko. Promise." I said smiling gently and gave her a long and lingering kiss on her forehead.

"I'll hold you for that Richard. Extra-extra careful, please. Kapag ito nangyari ulit, ipinapangako ko rin sa'yo, ako mismo ang babangga sa kotse mo nang makita mo ang hinahanap mo..." she said glaring at me at may kurot pang kasama.

I laughed, accident forgotten but I specifically take note of what she said because Maine had a habit of doing the things shesaid, Itaga mo pa sa bato.
