"Later with that, this one is definitely more important." she chuckled.
I looked her in the eye and with a dignified flare, I barked, "It better be good, or all 82 of my pending inquiries will haunt you at night!"
"Yes, I know…" she said, and even though I was complaining she still continued to lug me downstairs.
"Now what?" I said as soon as we arrived at the base of the stairs. The place was silent, and a few awkward stares came looking at me. Well, not until Athena came entering the hall slowly, holding some sort of&helli

We soon arrived, and the place did not disappoint. It's cozy enough to be comfortable yet still brimming with sophistication. When we walked towards the entrance, a lady happily escorted us to our tables, and saw three familiar faces who had already arrived before us."Tatay, you're already here!" I said, sitting beside him. On the other hand, the others quickly chose their own seats and with the awkward silence, all stared at each other like they were trying to discern what the others had in mind."Thank you for inviting us to such a dinner, Mayor Fernandez… *cough*. I hope we will be able to maintain the prosperity of the city, even in the future," I said and tried to raise my glass.Suddenly, Matty, who was situated on my left, escaped a l

"Yow! Irene looked at this!" Athena greeted Irene as soon as she locked eyes with her, "Isn't it beautiful!?"Irene stared at the poster once again, printed in it was herself wearing a white blouse and brown pleated skirt while holding a book, beside her is Jaiden wearing a uniform similar to hers, only that it is tailor for males. To be frank, the white polo shirt and brown trousers he is wearing really suited him well."Ah…. yes, but isn't it a bit bigger than it's supposed—""What are you talking about? It's just the perfect size!" Athena said to tease her."Well, suit yourself, it's not as if my opinion matters here anyway," Irene flatly confessed.

We took the ride home, and Jaiden suddenly glanced at me for a moment. He quickly turned ahead and focused on the road, "Mimi, about earlier… when you said that you were not ready yet…. You are not rejecting me, haven't you? I mean, you are saying that I still have a chance with you in the near future."To be honest, I was startled by his question, but I tried to answer him nonetheless, "Wait, Jaiden, why did you suddenly ask," I said."Well, I'm quite anxious…. I'm not sure if you want me to wait for you to clear your thoughts or you wanted me to let go. I want to know if you think that we could become more than friends."When I heard that, I realized that it was going to be unfair to let him wait for me in vain. So I need to give hi

"Did you already reach her?" I asked, holding my phone that continuously rang for a few minutes."No, it just keeps telling me that her number is unavailable!" Irene said frantically, "I even tried to call the sender of the message but it's also not responding.""Mayor Erwin is also unavailable at the moment, should we go tell the police?" I asked her."It's too risky, we still don't know what kind of danger she is in. It might as well be a trap…" Irene concluded."Yes, you're right. But at least we must do something," I said. "I know, there is a risk but I think we need our friends' right now.""Then we will need profession

"I should say, your dress was simply beautiful, do you like it? It was personally tailored by a famous couturière in France, and should I also tell you it's not cheap.""Tsk…. Since when did you fancy designer wear?" Matty asked, eyeing her grandfather with an ominous glare."Well, that madame ambassador arranged everything for me. I just decided to make-face, and make our transactions with the Prime Minister a little smoother. Can you even believe I wasted 10,000 dollars for a single dress?""Pfft…. Is the madam ambassador pretty?" Matty teased, "You're probably entranced by her at some point.""She's rather young. And when it comes to old geezers like me, young equates to p

"Hey, stop squeezing me,” Athena said, peering out slightly under the bed."I feel something crawling in my back…." I cried."Both of you, could stop yapping… this mission is highly sensitive. One wrong move and we will jeopardize everything," Irene warned."Easy for you to say, you're not the one hiding in between!" I muttered."Hey, as if my situation is a lot better. I'm at the exposed edge of the bed right now which makes me more vulnerable," Irene confessed."Are you guys not afraid of what we are doing, I mean the way Matty described her grandfather, he surely won't hesitate to shoot us dead if

"How deep is this tunnel, anyway?" Jaiden asked as he looked down on the cold darkness that seems to continue forever."Guessing from the height of this building, we need to descend at least 60 feet more," Black Wolf announced."What! 60 feet!?" Jaiden complained. "If you want to give up now, I won't stop you…" Black Wolf scoffed."How about you Joseph, are you still good down there?" Jaiden called."....""Hey, why are you so silent?" Jaiden inquired, "Ah, fine…. I talk too much,"Jaiden gave up the conversation and continued climbing

When She Was Is Afterword: The Metamorphosis Of When She Was Is
THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER, A well thought of disaster in that matter. To be honest, the journey of writing this narrative had put me in a constant strain of what if scenarios. It is like exploring a new entire world without a single idea about the consequences the realm exhibits. And, as much as I hate to admit it, romance is a weakness I would rather omit. It is a reality that my virgin mind failed to navigate freely. To simply say, this story is a fraud— a slice of life drama advertising itself as a young-adult romance. I also do have some reservations in calling it an oversimplified chick-lit story. In the end, I decided to go the most logical route and face my unyielding fear to reconsider my abstinent views towards intimate correspondence.I knew that I needed to rekindle the lost flare of my hopeless romantic heart, and so I did. I made a brave decision a

"To what floor?" I asked, as my index finger hovered over the panel.Just to be clear, a new guy went into the lift a few seconds ago. To be honest, I kinda wished that he didn't make it to the barely closing elevator doors. More importantly, I hope he didn't see me mashing the buttons to make the doors close a little more faster.Anyway, today is the day of the interview. And I believe I've accomplished pretty much everything I needed. I finished saying farewell to my hometown, moving to a new place, and now I'm finally heading for a new job. However, that will all boil down to whether I will get hired or not.The single other occupant in the elevator pushed his glasses up his nose and gave this stern look, "Hi," he said flatly.

"Good Morning, Reverend Jaiden!" a lady in green shouts as Jaiden walks to the side of the street. "To you as well, Grace," he said as he beamed a smile."You're all smiles today, did something good happen?" she asked, trying not to appear desperate for gossip."No, as a matter of fact, I am just as happy as I'm yesterday," he said in the most sincere voice he could manage for the moment. "I see," the lady nodded as to not impede his private life.As Jaiden walks up to the church he can see a line forming to get in. For a moment he thought that this service would be for a full house.Jaiden lets out a deep breath and prepares himself for the 10:00 am sermon. Meanwhile, Pastor Ha

"Uhm, your portfolio is kinda..." he slurred, placing his open palm just millimeters away from my face, "How should I put this…""Eccentric?" I asked. He gave me a dead look and answered, "Not quite….."From there, he started snapping his finger continuously, and with a sharp pause, he pointed at me then let out a word, "Aggressive! right… that's it. Especially this promotional poster…."I moved back involuntarily, and nearly fell backward over my seat, "Aggressive? But it is for an action-fantasy movie!"He reached out to steady me, and I knew he was reaching for my hand, "Darling, we are a production company that produces movies like "Cat In The Box

The solemn ground whispered a comforting tone as the gentle winds passed by dragging the autumn leaves slowly descending on the grassy floor.It was the height of noon and the sun was shining brightly at the blue skies, staring down the tombstone erected below. For a single point, a fair maid stood in silence as she looked down the grave, etched with memories of the deceased."Mom and Dad, have you been well? Sorry I wasn't able to visit for quite a while now," The girl in a daunting uniform said as she stood up on a well-furnished grave.The wind blew gently once more, swaying the wisps of her hair. She placed a bouquet of Hydrangea flowers on the grave and gazed at the distance zooming towards a dignified man approaching her.

As I was thinking of my miserable situation, a knock resounded on my door, "It is me, may I come in?" a gentle voice called me.That time I knew right away that it was Jaiden who was on the other side of the door. I quickly opened it and saw a decently dressed man on my doorstep."What made you visit, aren't you busy with your duties in the ministry, you even had additional counseling sessions on the weekends," I asked, since I'm worried for him."Why does it seem like you don't want to see me?" Jaiden asked. "Besides, I was just ordained recently, so I don't have much work load for now. You can say that I'm still in the process of being a full-pledge Pastor.""Fine, whatever. So why

"Manong Kokoy, just park the trike at the side…." I said as I went out of the vehicle."Naku, Mimi, are you really ok?" Manong Kokoy asked me.I gave him a silent nod and flatly answered him with a question, "Should I be alright?"I never gave it a second thought and went upstairs to see Natalie and Tatay at the doorstep. I fixed my shriveled hair and smiled with my busted lips.Seeing their expectant faces made me crestfallen. "What happened to you, did you get into a fight," Tatay asked, seeing my slightly beaten up face."It's nothing, Tatay," I said to make him less worried. "Anyway, Ate! What happened

The siren of the police moving away from the palace created a Doppler effect, as the sound slowly dissipated along the distance.I stared back at the ambulance bed, and Jaiden looked at me with a gentle smile. For some reason I can sense an uneasy expression in his face, "What's the matter with you two?" I asked Jaiden and Joseph who were suddenly avoiding my gaze."Oh, is it about the spy thing? I already knew… heard everything from Athena," I said casually."Wait… then you must've heard about Athena's father," Jaiden said leaning forward towards me.I smiled at him and nodded, "I also heard about it…"
