You and I from Oblivion

Nadine's POV

Today is the day that James and I will start to get to know each other. But from yesterday's meeting, it seems like I already know James. Or do I?

I was in the balcony in my room. All showered and prepped up. Just enjoying the cold morning air of November. A sign that Christmas is truly around the corner.

I was just drinking my cappuccino in as the cold and gentle breeze touch my skin. Zephyrs dancing on my brow.

Yes, this is what I want. To enjoy peace. No media lingering around to take photos of me whenever I'm in public. No noise. No crowds. All peace.

But then,

Honk, honk!!

What the hell?! That car destroyed my perfectly good moment to enjoy the peace I have.

I looked down to see an ecosport. On the driver's door, there was James leaning.

"NADINE LUSTRE! COME DOWN!" He screamed

Wth, is he crazy?!

With much annoyance, I hurriedly ran downstairs and unlocked the door and afterwards unlocked the gate and found James.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked annoyed

"And early in the morning? Nageeskandalo ka ba? Kung may balak kang mag eskandalo, wag dito! Wag sa oras ngayon! Andami pang nagpapahinga eh. Do you know you just destroyed my perfectly good time while I was enjoying peace in my balcony?" I added

"Well, Lustre. I'm here to pick you up. And I'm not here para mag eskandalo. It just so happened that ate Ca also ruined my perfectly good time sleeping which I hardly get" He said back

"Psh. Fine." I rolled my eyes

"Bakit ba ang suplada mo?" He asked grinning

"Bakit ba napaka pakealamero mo?" I asked, frowning

A pregnant pause occurred then after

"Hindi mo man lang ako papa pasukin? Is this how you treat your guests?" He asked in a sarcastic tone

"I'm sorry. Mind you. Help yourself" I said

I stepped in and he followed. After entering the door,

"Wow! Nice place, Lustre" he said

"Thank you. If you want anything, go to the kitchen. Or if you're too lazy, there's the mini fridge" I said pointing to a corner

"You live here alone?" He asked

"Yeah"

"You don't live with your parents?"

"Nope. Been living here since I was 20"

"Aren't you afraid?"

"No"

"You should spend more time with your parents"

"I do. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go fix myself. Don't mess things up here, Reid" I said and continued to the stairs

I went in my walk in closet and picked a white off shoulder with sleeves that stop above my elbows and denim tattered shorts. Also, I wore my classic white adidas with three black stripes

I went down and saw James looking through my photo albums

"Lets go?" I said

He looked up
