You and I from Oblivion

Nadine

He kissed me..

"What was that for?" I asked

"Remember what I told you?" Oh yeah. That.

"Sorry." I said and smiled shyly "Come on.. She's waiting." I said and we went to the condo which was a few blocks away from my house.

While we were in the elevator, his arms were just in my waist and he positioned me closer to him. No space apart.

I can feel his breath against my hair. The smell of his minty fresh breath traveling from the back of my head to my nose.

"I love you. You know that?" He said

I giggled

"Cheesy." I said

"Only for you." He said and kissed the side of my head

Once the elevator doors opened, his arm was around my shoulders and mine was at the small of his back. He held my left hand using his arm which was around my shoulders.

We walked to the unit like that.

I placed my hand on the touch recognition security system and it opened the door.

"Quentin!" I shouted

"Nadine?" She scratched the back of her head, then...

"NADINE!!!" She screamed, jumped onto me and hugged me. I hugged her back

"I missed you!" I said

"Me too... Teka sino tong kasama mo?" She pointed towards James who was facing the living room

"Love!" I called James and he turned around

"Jenna?!" He said, shocked

"James?" She also said in shock. Teka, these two know each other?

"JAAAAMEEESSSS!!!" Kabunganga talaga netong si Quentin.

She rushed to James and hugged him

"Teka, you two know each other?" I asked

"Uh, yeah! He was my best friend back in high school! 'Sup, Roberto?!" She cheerfully greeted

"Happily engaged." He said and wiggled his eyebrows at me. I just rolled my eyes while I was smiling. "You?" He asked Quentin.

"May manliligaw. But, I dunno." She said "Anyways, kanino ka engaged? And how do you know each other?"

James looked at me and laughed a little

"I know her.. Because I'm engaged to her." He said and laughed at Quentin's shocked reaction

"Whoa, what?! Nadzy! Ay, ate pala. Why didn't you tell me you're engaged to Roberto?!"

"Nandito ka ba? And stop calling James 'Roberto'.. Ang pangit pakinggan." I scolded.

"Aysus. Di porket nagka FIANCÉE na sya.. Ayts. Mwahahaha." She emphasized the word 'fiancée'.

"Ano? Ano ha, Quentin?!" I raised my fist up at akmang susuntukin sya kaya tumakbo sya.

"Wala, wala! Hali na nga kayo dito! Nag luto ako ng Lasagna. Kain na at baka ano pa ang masabi ko. Tss." Pag aya ni Quentin..

While we were eating lasagna, ako kain lang ng kain habang sina James at Quentin nagdadakdakan.

"So, since when were you two together?" Quentin asked James

"7 years ago.." James asked and continued eating his lasagna

"How come I didn't know about that?"

"Ang tagal mo kasing hindi nag cocontact. And I'm busy with work. Showbiz gives no pardon. You should know, you're going to be my hair stylist. Part time lang naman." I said

"Sige. But I'm gonna apply for a work in make up and fashion arts." She said

"Which company?" I asked

"White Clothing.." She simply answered

White clothing?

Why does it sound familiar?
