Always

Four

A week has already passed since the issue popped out. They were  busy taping for OTWOL. Nadine and James went back to being silly with each other during tapings, but they were more like flirting. They weren't aware that people think that they were actually flirting. They thought that it was just what bestfriends usually do: annoying each other, picking each other's nose, tickling...

Today, James and Nadine will be guesting in TWBA. It wouldn't be aired live though. But before James and Nadine's appearance in TWBA, Nadine and Yassi would spend some time together. They really needed to catch up.
Nadine decided not to spend money and just go to Yassi's house. Yassi agreed.

Nadine was wearing a white sweatshirt, black jeans and her favorite pair of sneakers and no makeup. She looked so simple yet so gorgeous.

Nadine drove herself to Yassi's house. When Nadine arrived at Yassi's house, she didn't even bother to press the doorbell, she immediately went inside. She was welcomed with a mouthwatering smell coming from the kitchen.

"Yas!!! I'm home!" Nadine yelled so that Yassi could hear. Yassi's house was actually her second home and vice versa.

"Grabe ka naman you scared me."

Once Nadine reached the kitchen, she hugged Yassi.

"Sorry po..."

"Miss youu!" Yassi exclaimed.

"Miss you too!" They were still hugging. This scenario was actually usual for them. Whenever they meet after not seeing each other for a very long time, their hug could last for an hour.

"Wait, let me just finish this." Yassi said and she was the first one to let go from the hug.

"Grabe noh. Last month tayo last nagkita."

"Oo nga eh."

"Anyway, I have something to tell you. Wag kang magugulat."

"Hmmm gusto mo rin si James?"

"Baliw, hindi noh."

"Joke lang naman hahaha oh anong sasabihin mo?"

"Kain muna tayo. Baka kasi you'll spit out your food when you hear what I'm going to say."

Nadine laughed. "Hala grabe siya. Is it really that shocking?"

"For me, yes."

Nadine frowned. She was quite bothered by what Yassi's going to tell her. "Kain na nga muna tayo.  Namimiss ko na ang mga luto mo."

The two girls silently ate their food. They were surely enjoying the food.

After they ate, Yassi immediately spoke up. "I saw James last night sa bar."

"Oh? Yun lang? I'm used to it."

"James and his friends were sitting on a couch tapos may inakbayan siya na girl but it was like unrequited because ang girl lang yung nagfiflirt kay James, si James medyo dedma. He was just like agreeing to what the girl was saying. He kept on nodding and smiling. Pero ugh ang landi talaga ng girl sarap kalbuhin nakakainis pa yung mukha parang alien."

"Kahit na unrequited yun, kung may nakakita na random people sasabihan na naman ng bad things si James."

Nadine wanted to laugh because of the last statement Yassi said but she couldn't. She was too affected to do it. So she sighed and shook her head. "Bakit siya pa?"

"Ha?"

"Bakit siya pa ang gusto ko? Pwedeng iba nalang? Pagod na ako Yas..... Pero bakit ganun? Kahit siguro yung worst issue na maiinvolve siya mamahalin ko pa rin siya. Kahit siguro kung makakabuntis siya... Joke wag lang yun. Lord, bakit!?!?
