JULY 2016

Maine was furious.

She was not the kind of person to hold a grudge to anyone, even if they had inflicted her a lot of pain. She did not hate anyone for she thinks that hate was just as strong as love, albeit different. Yes, she disliked a few people (coughs, Alden Richards on the top of the short list) and wished she never met a couple of them, but she will never say she hated them.

She was also not the kind of person who loses her temper so easily, despite the fact that she had so many reasons to be angry. She would get annoyed, yes, but not really angry. The last time she got angry, she broke her phone and ran away from reality for four days. And that was two weeks ago.

This time, she's not just angry; she's furious as hell, she could break a neck.

"Jade, what part of I do not want to work with Alden Richards do you not understand?" she asked, still furious. "Hindi niyo ba nainitindihan kung ano yung ginawa niya sa akin? Or do you want me to narrate the whole scenario again?"

"Maine, calm down," Jade sighed. "Kim will expl—"

"Ate Kim? Where is she, anyway? Hindi ba siya dapat ang nag-eexplain sa'kin ng mga ganito?"

"Maine," Tristan interrupted. "We love you, and you know that we will never purposely try to hurt you."

"Well," Maine mumbled. "You're doing quite a shitty job on never purposely trying to hurt me."

"Maine," Jade sternly called out. "Calm down."

"Stop saying that, Jade," she murmured. "I need a drink."

"You don't drink, Maine," Tristan said.

Maine rolled her eyes, "I don't drink alcoholic beverages. I need a drink, milk or whatever."

"Really, Meng?" Jade asked humorously. "You're furious and you ask for milk?"

"Shut up, Jade."

"Ang sungit mo today," Tristan remarked. "Saan na ba si Jacob?"

"Here!" Jacob exclaimed exactly after Tristan asked for his presence. He was balancing four cups of Starbucks coffee (in a take-out tray, of course) on one hand and his phone and a cup of iced tea on the other.

"Iced tea for my lady," he sweetly said and handed the drink to Maine. "Black coffee for your bitter hearts," he joked and handed two cups to Jade and Tristan. "Where's Kim?" Jade responded with a mumbled 'sa labas'.

He handed them the packets of sugar from his pockets and took a seat beside Maine. "What's up? Bakit mukha kayong tensed?"

Jade and Tristan looked at each other.

"Go on," Maine said. "Tell him."

"The executives want Maine to fake-date Alden again," Jade mumbled. "Said it was good for both of them."

"What?" Jacob asked, almost spitting his coffee out. "Good for what? Are you shitting me?"

"Jacob," Maine scolded.
