《Prelude to Forever : Alden & Maine》Chapter 22 - Imagine You and Me
Advertisement
I'm really looking forward to watching "Imagine You and Me" next week! I imagine they would want to watch the movie together and got inspired to do this one-shot when Meng said Alden would be watching the movie also in Bulacan.
Hope you enjoy this story, especially jouanamarie_balauag, this is the long-delayed one shot you requested of RJ inside a theatre. Please feel free to comment. Enjoy!
Maine fastened some hairpins on top of her wig to make sure it would stay in place. She wore a loose black hoodie over gray tank top, baggie pants and sneakers completed her disguise. The fans were intelligent, she had to be really careful to pull this off.
"San ka na naman pupunta?" Coleen asked, nosily eying her garb.
"Manonood akong IYAM, di na siguro matao, day 8 na eh."
"Hay naku Meng ang tigaaasss talaga ng ulo mo. Kala ko ba sasamahan ka ni RJ? Lakas ng loob mo manood mag-isa."
"Hay naku, sabi niya ngayon kami manonood pero ni ha ni ho walang pasabi so bahala siya nonood ako mag-isa."
"San ka manonood? Sa malapit ka lang ha baka hanapin ka ni tatay."
"Oo sa SM Marilao lang ako."
"Fine, di ka maawat sige, go."
It was the last full show on a Wednesday, and Maine successfully got into the theatre without being recognized. Armed with a bucket of popcorn and soda, she purposely headed to the lower section near the front rows, because people rarely sat there.
The theatre was still half filled with people but as she predicted, most of them stayed in the farther rows. She looked forward to enjoying a row all by her lonesome, taking in the beauty of Lake Como on the big screen. Would have been better if RJ was here though.

They were together during the movie premiere, but it was different watching the movie then. Much as they loved the fans, it was too noisy, they were preoccupied with the critics' possible comments, and all eyes were on them too. She wanted to savor the movie with RJ, remember the special little things they experienced during the shoot. But he was busy, as usual.
Heavy footsteps took her attention away from the screen. A black guy with afro hair was headed her way, armed with a big bag of dark M&M's, soda, and burgers, judging by the smell of his brown bag. He chose the seat right in front of her, his head blocking her view. Not wanting to call attention to herself, she moved to the next seat sideways to get a better view.
Ok Meng, alisto lang baka style nya yan tapos holdup kasunod. Weighing her options on transferring to another row or staying, she opted to stay, for as long as she could see him, she guessed she'd be ok.
The man began to unwrap his food, the rustling of sandwich wrappers distracting her. Wow, the burger smelled heavenly, she belatedly realized she was hungry.
"Sssshhhh, can you please keep it down?" She whispered to him, moving closer to his seat from behind. But the man slurped his soda noisily anyway while watching. Geez, he was so annoying!
Wait a minute. Why would a black guy watch their movie? Not that the movie sucked but really, a local movie? She crept closer to the man's back in an effort to smell him. Pag si RJ ito, shit, uwian na.
As she moved her head closer to his nape, the man suddenly spoke.
"Bagong ligo ako babe, lika tabi na tayo."
With that he turned to face her, with a silly grin on his face. He quickly stood up to sit beside her, bringing his goodies with him.

"Gago ka talaga, RJ."
"Hala, tinupad ko na nga promise ko na-gago pa ko."
She actually found it funny, seeing him with dark make-up and the afro wig, but she was not a good sport and refused to show him how tempted she was to laugh.
"Pano mo nalaman na dito ako pupunta?"
"Tinext ako ni Coleen, nagsumbong na lumabas ka mag-isa. Kita mo kampi ko na mga kapatid mo."
"Che!" She said, for lack of anything better to say. "Ang pangit mo pala pag maitim ka, hmp."
He laughed out loud at that, risking the angry hisses of people a few rows away from them.
"I love you, Bibi." He whispered and kissed the spot below her ear, making her shiver.
"Kiss mo naman ako. Sige na, reward for my effort. Did you like my surprise?"
"Kiss ka diyan, manonood tayo ha, hindi tayo nag punta dito para magmomol."
"Just one kiss sweetie, sige na."
"Fine, just one ki-mmmfff--"
He silenced her with a kiss, softening her unyielding pout that slowly opened to welcome his tongue. His hand caressed her jawline, the warmth of his palm sliding to her neck as the kiss deepened.
Kissing her seemed like it was always the first time, her soft full lips responded to his hunger, matching him kiss for kiss. Her hand was on his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat, seeking the warmth of his body.
Slowly, he tempered his hunger for her sweetness, giving her lips a lingering peck before kissing her forehead.
Wordlessly, she tucks her arm under his, her head leaning on his shoulder. He unwraps another burger and hands it to her.
"Kala mo ha, binati lang kita dahil sa burger mo."
"Talaga? O sige after ng movie papahawakan ko sayo burger ko--aray!" He squirmed while she was pinching his middle.
"Nood na tayo, ha quiet ka na."
But she proceeds to pinch his midsection playfully again, his burger, as they call it.
With a lingering kiss on his dimple, she finally smiles at him.

Dungeon's Path
The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon. So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense, and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything. Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls pay little attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story. Doyle Huxley just wanted a normal life but as the above might clue you in on that just isn’t in the cards. He gets to experience a “Path Based System Apocalypse” and some early paths he takes, both literally and figuratively, lead to him becoming a dungeon. The aim is to release chapters once a week on Friday. Cursing will be avoided and no naughty adult action will take place in the story.

Sovereign Cipher: Overpowered Evolution (LitRPG)
“In some way unknowable but instinctively felt, Pneuma was both royalty and a monster. To be respected and feared. Trint was in awe. He wasn’t even sure what Pneuma looked like… but his fear was justified.“ Trint, an average, middle-aged nobody who suffered a terrible encounter, finds himself thrown for a loop when Earth is integrated into the Iterations. He must ascend through level-gated realms till he either hits the top or dies. Adopted by a mysterious family Dynasty, Trint receives an equally-mysterious companion and faces his greatest challenge yet: he must now succeed at becoming a monster-wrecking machine or he will never recover what he lost. ---------------------- Release Schedule: Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Bonus chapters when I feel like it. Author Background This is my very first time writing a story. The first time I've shared it with more than one person. I know it's not perfect, but I'd appreciate any comments you wish to share. Be honest but respectful, and I know I can get better. I hope someone enjoys this story as much as I did writing it. Story Elements: The story included LitRPG elements that help build the world but will not have constant readouts of stat sheets. There will be nothing rated beyond PG-13 romantically/sexually. Violence is the main contributor to reader discretion. This will be a story involving violent battles and detailed death. Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MavTech
