CHAPTER 9

Nadine

I didn't know what James' sudden show of affection meant. I didn't wanna find out. I'm just happy to know that he'd never hurt me.

"Let's go," He said.

"Where?"

"Somewhere else."

"But I wanna watch the sea and sit on the sand."

"We would still watch the sea and sit on the sand but somewhere private, okay?" He said. I looked around and noticed that people are starting to come. I never wanted to be with a lot of people so I nodded and stood up. He held my hand. I didn't care. He led me to a place somewhere far from the crowd and under the shade of a tree. It was a nice spot. I sat down on the sand and he sat beside me. I loved watching the water like this, no distractions, no barriers. Just me. And the sand. I got my camera and took a photo of the scenery. James smiled at me and got his camera. He took pictures of me taking pictures. It was crazy but I liked it. I liked moments like this. Him, taking pictures of me taking pictures of the view. I wish it could stay like this forever. I smiled at my own thoughts.

"What are you thinking?" He asked.

"Nothing. What are you thinking?"

"You," he said. I looked at him. I expected him to laugh but he did not. Instead, he smiled at me and took my hand.

"Tell me about yourself," I said.

"I'm James Reid, 18-

"No! I meant, what do you do?"

"I breathe," he chuckled.

"Do not talk to me," I said and rolled my eyes.

"Hey, I'm sorry. Don't be mad again," he said. I like it when he says he's sorry. It's like he's so strong yet so vulnerable.

"Hindi ako galit," I said.

"See? Galit ka. Nagtatagalog ka," he said and pouted. Hell, he's too cute, I'm afraid I can't take it anymore, I'll take him home.

"At sino namang may sabi sa'yo na nagtatagalog ako pag galit?"

"I trust my instincts."

"Shut up," I rolled my eyes. He didn't say anything. It's been I think five minutes and he still hasn't said anything. What's wrong with him? I decided to take pictures just to distract me. The silence between us is deafening so I decided to be the one to break it this time.

"You're making me crazy, what's wrong?" I looked at him. He smiled.

"Say it again," he said.

"I said you're making me crazy, what the-" he cut me off by wrapping his arms around me. He held on tight, made it harder for me to breathe.

"Are you okay?" I said. He broke the hug and smiled.

"Thank you," he said.

"For what?"

"You'll know," he chuckled.

"Great. You and your cliff-hangers," I rolled my eyes.

"You and your rolling eyes," he snapped.

"Whatever," I said and rolled my eyes again.

James

I like being with her like this. Us being us. I wonder if she noticed I've been clingy lately. I want her to notice something so I won't surprise her that much when I finally tell her. I liked it when she said I'm driving her crazy. Only because she has driven me crazy the very first time I met her and now she's driving me even crazier and I don't even know how it's even possible.
