James' POV

I am not drunk nor wasted. I just had a few bottles of beer.

Iba yung lasing sa nakainom.

But she told me something worse than saying she'd rather be friends with me. She just told it to my face how she feels uncomfortable with me and she thinks I'm a pervert.

So much for the thought that we were safe with each other.

To: Nadine

I am not drunk.

Nadine's POV

Right after I went to the hospital where mom and Kaleb were staying, I felt like going home.

Emotions that were as vague as the world, I could hardly understand.

When suddenly, my phone vibrated. It's a message from James.

From: James

I am not drunk.

I cannot even believe myself how I was able to tell him I am not comfortable with him, when all I feel whenever I am with him are butterflies in my stomach.

"Ang duwag mo lang talaga, Nadine," I thought to myself.

To: James

Siguro. Pero hindi rin siguro tama ang pag-iisip mo, for now.

From: James

Just so you know, I'm fine with you not liking me. It's totally fine.

Right before I could even reply, another message from him was up.

From: James

So much for feeling safe with me. LOL. Anyways, I have to go.

I was stuck frozen with his last text message. Like I was shocked and hurt at the same intensity.

He was nice to me, I even find him cool to be with. Ang arte ko lang talaga. Sobrang paranoid, eh wala pa namang nangyayaring hindi maganda.

I like him, but I am too afraid to show that I actually do. Siya naman, hindi niya rin siguro maintindihan kung bakit ganito ako sa kanya.

Hanggang kailan kaya kami ganito?
