as i parked my car near the building where the fashion show that i will be attending to is taking place, i muttered a curse under my breath as i noticed that it's still raining very hard and i forgot to bring my umbrella.
shit naman. i guess i'll just have to run for it, then.
i was about to go out the car but before i could even open the door, i saw paulo exiting the building with an umbrella in his hand, carefully striding along his way towards my car. he opened my door for me and greeted me with a smile.
he said and i pinched his nose lightly.
he winked and pulled me close to him by my shoulder so we could share his small umbrella.
i winced in pain when he pinched my waist, causing me to move sideways, closer to him.
i pinched his cheeks as soon as we entered the lobby and he swatted my hands away.
we went to the elevators and paulo pressed on the 24th floor, where our room probably is.
i asked.
i gulped at that. paulo and i have been working as part-time models for 2 years now and i still feel nervous everytime we would attend fashion shows and professionals would be watching us.
when the elevator stopped at our floor, we stepped out of it and proceeded to the reception area.
the lady greeted us enthusiastically and we greeted her back. she handed us our room keys, schedule for the show, and other important paper works. then, we thanked her and proceeded to our room.
paulo complained as we got in the room and immediately laid on the bed with his arms sprawled to the sides.
paulo threw a pillow at my face but luckily, i was able to catch it. i laughed at his reaction and threw the pillow back at him.

he groaned at got up from the bed.
i leaned in to plant a soft kiss on his temple.
paulo pushed me away and i chuckled before walking towards the bathroom.
but on my way, i took a glance at the papers on the desk and the one on top caught my attention.
Guest List.
i carefully scanned the list to see who will be attending later. i recognized some names from our previous fashion shows but most of the names were foreign to me.
but at the latter part, something caught my attention.
Architect Felip Jhon Suson
oh, si ken? that's nice. his name is quite big in the industry of architecture so i already expected that we will be meeting him soon.
oh wait. there were two more names at the bottom of the list.
Mr. Josh Cullen Santos
and...
Mr. Justin De Dios

The American Dream: An Alternate, Time-Travel Timeline
Due to a mysterious transcendent being, United States Marine Corps First Lieutenant Samuel Kim from the year 2016 is thrown back in time to the year 1775. To make matters worse, he wakes up near Bunker Hill, mere hours before the famed Battle of Bunker Hill is set to begin. Realizing the unique situation he finds himself in, the lieutenant takes the opportunity to change the fate of the battle and ensure an overwhelming American victory. Guided by his "patronizing" "God" and the American revolutionaries, Lieutenant Kim embarks on a journey to help America gain its independence and to ensure the nation uphold its "most promising" ideals from the very beginning. Author's Warning: The story is very rough in the first few chapters (and as some readers pointed out, some parts are laughable, such as "American idealism"). However, the pace and quality of the story improves from chapter four and onwards. You will enjoy the story if you have some interest in history, worldbuilding, and the butterfly effect (along with a few badass characters). So even if you are a bit turned off in the beginning, I promise that the story improves quickly.

Catalyst: The Ruins
The year is 605, and in your home— the country of Corcaea— the souls of mankind belong to demons. A phenomenon known as the "Catalyst" is what's to blame. This diabolical phenomenon lurks within every man, woman, and child. It can turn any human into a demon, if they fall prey to one, all-consuming element. It can be anything. Fear. Grief. Generosity. Even love. In a land where Gods are real and Corcaea's theocracy is the last hope for mankind, you follow in the footsteps of Father Richard Anscham: a troubled young priest, the leader of the Church of Mercy, and the foremost researcher of the Catalyst. Deep-dive into the ruins that cover the land with nothing but your dog and your faith. Search for the cure. Conquer your personal demons. Welcome to Catalyst Quest! A "quest" is a collaborative storytelling medium in which readers get to vote on the story at specific points. As this is an archive, the prompts that were included with the original run of Catalyst have been stripped, and the story is presented like a traditional novel for your reading convenience. If you would like to read Catalyst in its original format or participate in current events, you can find us here, on Sufficient Velocity. This book is complete!
