Reverie (JaDine One-Shots)

Secret

It was the night before my birthday and James and I were in Japan, along with a few squad members.

I was looking for the costume I would be wearing and couldn't seem to find it.

"Ano ba naman kasi, James. Kumuha ka lang ng damit mula sa maleta, nagulo na lahat ng laman," I muttered as I tried to fix the stuff that were messed up when James tried to look for a shirt to wear.

"Love!" I yelled.

"Love! Can you come here please."

James came into our bedroom. "Yes, love?"

I took out our clothes from our luggage and folded them neatly nang padabog.

"Love, tignan mo naman ginawa mo sa gamit natin. Ang gulo-gulo oh. Pinaghirapan ko yan i-pack, tapos kukuha ka lang ng simpleng t-shirt mo, malulukot pa lahat ng damit na nasa maleta. Ano ba naman, love. Tignan mo, lukot lukot na tuloy yung mga damit natin oh."

James suddenly got both my shoulders, spun me around and hugged me tight.

"Bumbum, ano ba. Inaayos ko nga yung gamit natin eh."

"Love, hey, hey, shh" James whispered into my hair as he hugged me tighter.

"Bumbum..." I sighed through his shirt, rubbing my cheeks on his chest. "I'm getting cranky again, Bumbum."

"I know love, I know. It's okay," James said as he rubbed my back.

"It's just our clothes, love, okay? I'll fixed it, since I'm the one who messed it up. No need to get stressed over it, okay love?"

James kissed my forehead and pulled me closer to him.

"Bumbum, I'm still mad at you."

James smiled.

"Okay, maybe not mad. But..." I sighed. "It's just I couldn't find my costume and I was already frustrated then when I opened our luggage, it was a mess. I guess it was just too much for me."

"Yeah, we talked about that na, right? Sometimes you have to let the stress and anxiety take over you. Don't let it get to you, love, or else you'll get too frustrated and you'll start getting mad at everyone again."

"Ugh, I know love. I'm so embarrassed kasi I got mad and yelled at Lauren and Andrei earlier for not closing the door," I pouted

James slowly moved us closer to the bed. "I explained to them your mood swings, love. They understand naman. Don't worry about that now, okay?"

I sighed. "Thank you, Bumbum. I love you."

"I love you too, baby girl," James said and kissed me on the lips.

I hugged him and said, "It's time to work your magic, love. I don't think I'm fully calmed down yet."

James gave me a boyish grin, ran to the door and locked it.

I giggled at his excitement and plopped myself on the bed.

"I'm ready, Bumbum," I said as I looked at him teasingly.

James walked towards me, removing his shirt and unbuckling his belt.

I grinned at him.

"My tongue's ready to calm you down, love. Open up."

"How do I answer this..." James said as he looked towards me while Mac was trying to put on his make-up.

"Love," James said.

"Yeah?" I said in my signature baby voice.

"How do I answer this." James gave me a pleading look.

I tried to hide my smile. James was making me answer 'cause he knows if he talks, he might slip up and reveal something X-rated.

"Nung nasa Japan kami, magagalit na lang ako for no reason. Tapos mas-stress ako parati. Parang siya yung nagapakalma sakin."

"Paano ka niya kinakalma?" Irish asked me.

James smiled as Irish asked that. He was remembering how he would usually calm me down when I'm stressed, which usually involved me lying on the bed, him doing his magic tricks with his tongue.

"Secret!" I giggled.

I could see Paul and Jelly trying to hold their laughs, since they know what exactly James does to calm me down.

Irish tried to persuade me to tell her what it was.

"Sige na, Nadz. Sige, off the record."

"Nooo, secret talaga," I answered back.

I know James would not want me to reveal what he does to calm me down, especially to someone like Irish, whom I'm not as close to compared to the squad or my glam team.

"Haha, sige na nga. Oh ayan, tapos na si kayo ayusan. You guys want to get started on the photoshoot na?"
