You and I from Oblivion

James

So far, Nadine and I haven't been seeing each other for a week now. It's killing me that I can't see my girlfriend. And why?! Why is my job preventing me from seeing my love, when it was my job in the first place who pushed me to Nadine?

I can't understand this! I can't keep communicating with my girlfriend through face time and calls. No.

But I'm happy she's sorted things out with her friend, Kathryn. She and Liz told me that they had a vocal band back in high school called Little Twilight and now they can revive the band.

Nadine's the lead, Liz is the sop., Yassi is the alto, and Kathryn is the second voice

She also told me that she became open to friends now. Her acquaintances became friends which made me really happy to hear that news.

Well me, Bret's been hanging out here lately. We've been swimming laps and playing video games.

"Bro, why don't you meet with your girlfriend? I mean you said that you miss your girlfriend. Why not?" Bret asked, flicking his controller and pressing his thumb down.

"I told you. Management told me not to. I can't meet up with my Naddie. Not until the issue is still fresh. Maybe another week more. That's what ate Ca says" I said

"Hmm. I think this isn't right, Bro. I mean, she's your girlfriend."

"Yeah, but we're actors too. I can't do nothing, Bret. My hands are tied."

"That's why I don't like showbiz"

Then my phone buzzed once.

Message from ate Ca

I tapped the message app to see my message

James, you have an appointment in the Elites Magazine Company and a photoshoot after. Be ready by 2 o'clock.

Ate Ca's message. By "Be Ready", she meant "Go to the Studio".

Haah

I received another message from ate Ca

Oh yeah. I forgot to tell you. Don't complain anymore, James. I'm sure you'll enjoy your time here.

Hmm... I wonder what ate Ca meant.

Nadine

My EIC in Elites Magazine Company texted me and said I had an appointment today at 2 o'clock followed by a photoshoot. They said I had to be the one to take the photographs since the photographer was out (– –")

I wore tattered denim shorts and a Forever 21 sleeveless racerback tank top. I also wore a leather jacket over (the one that James gave me)

I drove to the studio and to the meeting room. Then.... I saw....

"Jaaaaameeeessss!!!" I screamed and jumped into James' arms and he lifted me around.

He put me down and gave me a quick kiss.

"I missed you" he said

"Me too" I said

"Ehem." I turned and saw my EIC, Caddie. She "coughed" so loudly. Tss. Hahaha

"Sorry, Caddie." I said

"As I was saying. We're here to work." Caddie said

We sat down on the chairs, me and James beside each other and Barbie and ate Ca beside each other.

"So, we're all here because we all know that recently, James and Nadine's relationship has been watched by the media. They want answers and WE are going to give them. The November issue of Elites Magazine will be a special issue for JaDine fans or those who want answers with regards to James and Nadine's relationship. So, Nadine, you are going to play four roles this month. You are going to be an Associate Editor, Photographer, Model, Interviewer, and an Interviewee. Gets?" Caddie explained

"Yea. Sure" I said

"Okay. We're going to start with the photos. All of our photographers are out. So James, Nadine, and I are going to be photographers. James for Nadine's pics. Nadine for James' and me for both their pics taken together." Caddie

"Okay." James said

"Oo nga pala, James. Mr. V approved of this so you're allowed to say anything. Just know your boundaries." Ate Ca said

"Sure, I will" James said

"Nadine, that goes for you as well. Detail by detail pero hindi naman sobrang detailed na sasabihin ko kung naghalikan kayo o anuman." Barbie said which made James laugh. I gave him (barbz) a dirty look

"Alam ko, Miguel. Manahimik ka na." I said then he gave me a dirty look. I just smiled innocently

*******

"James, ayusin mo yung vest mo." I said. James is topless having only a thick cotton vest-hoodie on. He looked at me seductively. Psshh. As if the eyes are gonna work on me. Usually, when James wants a girl to like him, he just sends it through his eyes to tell the girl he likes him and it just happens. Well, not on me it doesn't

"James, you have to stop that. I'm already your girlfriend. Plus I told you, the eyes are not gonna work on me." I said and rolled my eyes

"Yeah. You ARE my girlfriend. Means that YOU. ARE. MINE." He said and grinned playfully

"Whatever, James. We're here to work. Just do that when we finish work." I scolded him

"Yes, Love" he said

I continued snapping photos. Angling his face, body, and abs perfectly. Fans really like having a good view of his abs. Well guess what, people? They're mine. *evil grin* hahahahah!

James

Once done with my shoot, it was time for me to take photos of my love :)

But I don't like what she's wearing. It's one of those black outfits and tight leggings or pants or whatever they're called (–_–) that she wore in the music video of Me and You.

Her top is showing off a little of her cleavage. It makes me so irritated and annoyed.

"Caddie." I called

She walked over to me

"Why aren't you starting yet? Is there any problem, James?"

Isn't it obvious? (– –")

"Actually, I have a problem."

"What is it?"

"Um, you know. Being Nadine's boyfriend, I don't like her wearing stuff that's too sexy. And I think her top is showing off her cleavage. Can't you do something about it?" I said. I sounded possessive, but hey. I am 😏

"James, just shake it off. Be professional, okay?"

I sighed.

"Okay"

I just angled the photos for the ones to see it not to notice MY Nadine's cleavage. Ano ba naman kasi yang wardrobe na yan!

But still, she looks perfect. And she's mine.

Caddie

It was my turn to take James and Nadine's photos. Both of them wearing the "SOUL SULTRY" look (a/n: check the TEAM REAL book for the picture when Nadine's hair was tied into two buns and James had like an eyeliner on the lower lashes)

They look so good together. I envy them. I hope I meet my own version of James. Haah! Work muna!

I interviewed both of them together and separately. I fell inlove with their love story.

"That's a wrap, JaDine!"
