Deleted Scenes - It Should Have Been Us Book One

{Nadine’s POV}

He’s being unreasonable. All this misplaced jealousy’s starting to grate on my nerves.

Now he has my phone again. I decided to let it go and just enjoy the trip. It’s our first time in London after all. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the issue with Julia, but he’s being doubly clingy too. He wouldn’t let me out of his sight. I found Robi’s little teddy adorable, I asked him where he got it and he volunteered to accompany me, but James was in a mood. Good thing Robi was kind enough to give it to me instead.

During practice, we’ve learned so much from Quen and Liza. We also found out we have a common stalker in IG who was pretending to be a fan.

Spreading rumors among fans; making them believe her lies were facts.

The concert turned out okay. I never thought I’d get this chance to perform in front of so many people and it was amazing. James just got into my nerves making unnecessary comments about my clothes.

Back in the dressing room, I finally told him off.

It’s not like I chose the clothes, okay? It was the stylist’s idea.

You can always say no. That dress is too short.

Stop na. I don’t want to argue.

But he was at it again. I tried to look unaffected when in fact; I’m starting to get pissed off. The confetti took my mind off of it a little. By the time Jake approached James asking us to join them on the other side of the stage, I let him down and told him I wanna stay but he’s free to take James with him; badly hoping for a reprieve.

James said no though, insisting he’d just stay with me. I’m starting to feel suffocated.

When the whole thing wrapped up, I hastily grabbed my bag from the dressing room, changed into my shortest dress for the night and put on the jacket James gifted me.

Then I grabbed Barbie and told the staff we’re taking the tube to the restaurant reserved for the victory party.

James kept calling and texting so I shut my phone off. Not being able to reach me, he called Barbie’s phone multiple times. But I asked Barbie to just answer him with a text.
I feel so drained.

Ano? Kaya mo pa ba?

I looked at Barbie. Then I let my tears fell. I lay my head on his shoulders and cried all through the trip.
