Just Like The Old Times - Chapter 4

Chapter 4

The gang gathered in the bedroom, and readied themselves with some snacks to munch.

"So fellas, shall we start with the latest updates about each one from the group?" Jessica broke in while she lounged on the couch, her body sprawled on the fluffy mattress occupying half of the couch.

"And since you led the discussion, you start updating us." Josh ordered, resting his back against the board of the bed, legs stretched out, feet crossed.

"Well you've already known that I'm in the gym and that I'll start wrestling soon and stuff." Jessica said, taking a sip from her soda.

"Oh yeah. I forgot." Josh sarcastically replied and pretended to be dumb, the girls chuckled.

"And what about you dummy?" Jessica asked him back.

"Oh me, well I'm uhh. I'm driving." Josh mumbled while he took a scoop of his double-dutch ice cream.

"I noticed that." Des chuckled.

"And I'm also already taken, by the way." Josh notified, sort of warning the girls.

"And what was that supposed to mean?" Mitch questioned.

"Yeah you really had to add "by the way" to that huh?" Jessica got along with Mitch's comment.

"Well I'm just... warning you girls." Josh uncertainly said. "I ain't single no more, CAREFUL!" he emphasized.

The girls looked at one another and then back at Josh and all bursted into a mutual laughter.

"What the heck?!!" Josh cluelessly asked, confused.

"C'mon Josh.." Mitch could barely talk because of her giggles, "Do you really think that we will - "

"That one of you girls will like me as time passes and we'll be dating? YEAH! NEARLY POSSIBLE!" Josh strongly replied.

"EEW, GROSS!!!!!" The 4 girls shrieked in unison and expressed a slight disgust to what Josh said, and all of them laughed.

"Hahahahaha. Ofcourse I was joking about that." Josh said, regaining himself.

"We know!" retorted the girls.

"But yeah, one of you girls, will marry me" Josh brought the topic back up.

"STOP IT OR WE'LL THROW UP IN THE BATHROOM!" Jessica jokingly yelled at him.

When all the laughing started to fade away slowly, Des spoke, "Hey Jaqui what are ya up to?"

"I'm still that old me ya know," Jaqui answered, her voice laid back, indian-sittin' right next to Josh on the bed.

"I know right! It's still her, look" Mitch, on the other half of the couch eating chips with her feet raised onto the tea table in front, joined the discussion and added, "still slender, her hair's still straight and long, it's the same Jaqui."

"But hey by the way," Jessica threw in and grabbed some chips from Mitch's bowl, "if you fellas could focus on Jaqui's clothes today..." Everybody started to silently look on what Jaqui was wearing, but couldn't figure out what Jessica was trying to point out so they looked back at her and asked, "Whatcha talkin' about?"

"Look at the shirt, folks." Jessica replied with a snicker.

"Oh would you look at that!" Desiree pointed at Jaqui's shirt while she sat on the end of the bed.

"Oh now I get it! You're wearing a Yuto shirt!" Mitch exclaimed and laughed.

"You're wearing... what?" Josh mocked trying to hold back his laughter but Jessica bursted into a loud laughter so he couldn't control.

"SHUT THE FUDGE UP ALL OF YOU!" Jaqui screamed at them, but she was smiling. "What's so funny? Or maybe you guys just find him too hot!"

"Oh pleaseeeee" Mitch begged and laughed some more.

"Whatever all of you! Don't you know, this has some kind of sentimental value to me! Not only because it's a Yuto shirt.. LET ME TELL YOU GUYS THE WHOLE STORY BEHIND IT." Jaqui told them while everyone got rid of the giggles and remained silent to listen to her.

6 months ago Japanese star Nakajima Yuto arrived in the Philippines and held a show at the Araneta Coliseum. Jaqui didn't hesitate no more when she heard Yuto's coming, and she immediately inquired about the ticket rates, the tickets didn't cost too high nor too low, and she was more than satisfied to be in the patron seat section (it was close enough to the stage to get a nice view of Yuto). Towards the end of his show, Yuto was wearing that very shirt. Before he ended it, he yelled to the crowd, "Ma-la-meeng Sa-ramat poww!" (Thank you very much!), trying his best to make the Filipino accent roll his tongue off well, and he took his shirt off and threw it to the crowd. Jaqui screamed as she did her best to reach for the shirt he threw, battling and struggling with the other fans from the audience who were just as desperate as she was to catch the shirt. Eventually, she succeeded in capturing it with her tightest grips.

"And that's the whole story!" Jaqui exclaimed, smiling at the beautiful memory, as she hugged her favorite shirt.

"Wow. You were wild." Josh plainly commented.

"And you were... battling with the other fans and screaming and all? I can't picture you out! Haha!" Des told her.

"We never thought you could be like that, not even once." Jessica added.

"Guess that's something new about Jaqui!" Mitch said.

"And what's somethin' new about Mitch?" Des questioned.

"Well?" Mitch paused.

"Well what?" Josh and Jessica questioned, at the same time sipped their sodas.

"Well I got myself a guy now!!!!" Mitch enthusiastically broke the news out.

"WHAT?!!!" Jaqui and Des asked, they were in shock while Josh and Jessica almost blew their drinks outta their mouths.

"JOKE." Mitch smiled devilishly and laughed.

"Ha-ha-ha. Funny." Josh sarcastically said.

"No, but seriously Mitch?" Des asked.

"I was kidding! And nothin' too much is new with me. Except that I'm engaged into the whole intern-thing, and... I'm obsessed with this whole Domo fascination thing too!" Mitch expressed her delight. "And I want to learn how to drive too! Like Josh!"

"Mom's started teaching me now, just the basic stuff, and I don't think I'm at the legal age to get a real driving license yet. Well, maybe student's license." Jessica stated, connecting with the whole "driving" thing.

"Hey Des didn't you learn how to drive too?" Jaqui asked.

"Yeah, I did. I learned how to drive. I then got the chance to travel alone, sometimes only. I'm still taking care of my part time job, so I rarely went out to different places. So yeah.... " Des continued to update her friends "Then I joined the lottery, I won, I got the money, I flew here, and now I'm with you guys." Des was like a lil pussycat acting tenderly to her friends.

"Aaww isn't that sweet!!!" Josh exclaimed, acting dumb like a cutie kitten too.

"Aaww!!!" The three other girls joined the chant.

"And hey by the way again," Jessica interrupted, "Everything here is captured and documented by our dear video-cam over there.." Jessica notified them and pointed to her video-camera that was standing on its tripod from a distance, recording every single second of the whole gang being together... AGAIN.
