"Where are we going?! Emir!" I roar at her when she opened her car. Mahina naman siyang natawa at napailing ng igaya ako papasok. Balak ko pa sanang umalma nang matanaw ko isang duffel bag sa driver seat. Nandoon pa ang iilang tags from the flight that she just took off.
I bite the inside of my cheek. Goddamn it! She's not lying! She did go here after landing a 16-hour flight from Spain.
I failed to raise my protest and before I even process it ay pinaandar na ni Emir ang sasakyan niya. I immediately fish out my phone at agad na bumungad sa akin ang iilang texts galing kay Ivah.
From: Ivah
Why did you call? Did something happen?
From: Ivah
Where are you? Can't find you anywhere. Answer me, Selene.
From: Ivah
Oh? You're with Emir? Is she going to drive you home?
I couldn't help but protrude my lips when I saw her last message. Para niya akong pinapaubay na kay Emir ng malaman niyang siya ang kasama ko. I bet some of the people in the bar saw how Emir chase me out. Mabilis pa naman sa chismis si Ivah. She, and her ways!
To: Ivah
I'm fine. I'm with Emir, go back to kissing girls, Ivah.
"Who are you texting?" Napatay ko agad ang phone ko ng marinig ang tanong ni Emir. It was just a casual question pero pakiramdam ko ay may kung anong kakaiba roon lalo na ng marahan niyang sinipat ang phone ko, maybe thinking she could peak at who I am texting.
Great, Selena! Read more between the lines, the imaginary lines you're thinking about!!!
"It's Ivah. I told her I'm you." Tipid kong sagot, hindi alam kung sapat na iyon para sa kanya.
"Tell her I'm driving you home."
"We're going home?" I immediately bit my tongue when those words slip my mouth. Emir's lips parted as if confirming if I really said those words. Mabilis siyang sumilip sa akin bago ibinalik sa harap ang tingin at inilinya ang mga labi. Stopping a sly smirk to form on her lips.
"Don't you want to home a while ago?"
"Yeah, let's go home." Hindi ko napigilan ang pag-irap ng mahimigan ang pang-aasar sa boses niya. She immediately bit her lower lips to surpass the smile on her face nang masilip ang busangot kong mukha.
"Hey." Halos mapatalon ako sa kinauupuan ko ng maramdaman ang paglipat ng kamay niya sa tuhod ko. Her soft voice and warm hands always take the shit out of me! Pakiramdam ko ay lalabas sa dibdib ko ang puso ko ng hindi niya tanggalin ang kamay niya roon, instead held on my knee tighter as if tell me she won't let go!
Jesus Christ! She's really driving me crazy!
"I'm sorry we couldn't go anywhere, I'm a bit exhausted from the flight." Pakiramdam ko ay nag-init ang magkabilang pisngi ko ng ma-realize ang ginagawa niya. She's tending to my tantrums! As if isa akong nagtatampong girlfriend dahil hindi ko naguha ang gusto ko!
WHAT A FOOLISH SCENARIO, SELENA!!!
"I-I'm not forcing you! I'm going home nga!" I spite at her and look away from her. Her laughs echoed in the whole car habang ang kamay ay nanatali sa tuhod ko. Pakiramdam ko ay parang gusto kong lumubog sa kahihiyan kada Segundo na kasama ko siya!
She just keeps on hitting the nerve! Making me angry! Making me lose control of myself!
"You colored your hair ginger, huh?" I unconsciously held some strands of my hair nang marinig ang komento niya.
