Real Girlfriend

"Your Mum is following us right now. How could we part ways, Rush?" I hissed-whispered. I don't even know why I am whispering. Hindi naman ako maririnig ni tita Delilah o kahit si Callie na kasama niya kotse.

Tita Delilah really make her joke to reality. She's following us in...our supposedly date. The fake date has a agenda. We are parting ways. Walang mangyayaring date dahil ang tunay na alis ni Rush ay sa totoong girlfriend niya...siguro. I don't know the details though. I just assumed. Kaya ito na, since nalaman ni tita Delilah na may date kami ngayon, walang araw na hindi siya nanganamusta tungkol doon.

I took a deep breath and shook my head.

"Do something about it, Rush. Pauwiin mo na si tita." Halatang inis ang aking boses. I don't know why. Maybe, because I don't really want to be around with him. It sucks to be with him. His complacency roaming around this car and it is really bad to my health. Kanina pa 'ko irita na ma-realize na sinabi lang ni Rush na date 'to para...'di ba makasama niya ang girlfriend niyang Guzman talaga?

Ewan, it is really irritating and frustrating to be in this place.

Ang nakakainis pa e, I should have known it. Pinasok 'ko 'to dapat alam 'ko kung paano ma-resolve. I don't know. Really. I don't really know bakit sobrang inis ako na matanto 'yon. I just hate the fact that I'm sitting beside him. I just hate it that I am the bothered one. At si Rush, prente lang sa pagmamaneho ng kanyang sasakyan. It feels like na salo 'ko ang lahat ng pasakit at siya, wala lang sa kanya ito.

It's unfair!

Dahil nahatak lang naman ako ng problema niya!

"Calm down, man," all he could said, gripping the steering wheel tightly. He's not angry or what. Ni frustration niya wala sa mukha niya. He's really just concentrating on driving his goddamn car.

I am the only one who's in high emotion!

My eyes went wide in disbelief.

"Calm down, really?" My brows creased. Pakiramdam 'ko pumipintig ang ulo 'ko. An headache is possible to come.

"Yeah, calm down. Ano ngayon kung sinusundan nila tayo? Think about it, Amelie. Realize something about it. Isn't great?" Bahagya siyang napantingin sa akin. Unti-unti 'tong ngumisi hanggang sa nilagay ang mata sa daan.

I blinked, thinking his words. May gana pa siyang ngumisi?

But then....I realized something.

Napalunok ako nang makuha ang sinasabi niya. Rush suddenly breathed a sigh when I calmed down. Napasandal na lang ako sa upuan at tinignan ang kotse nina tita sa salamin. They are still following us. Isang sasakyan lamang ang layo nito sa amin.

Rush is right.

Nanguna na naman ang inis 'ko sa kanya. Last night, we talked and fight again obviously. But in that time, we really talked somehow...without insulting each other. Sabi niya, we really need to get their trust about our relationship. He heard the group which is Raina and the others, talking about our relationship. It's really unbelievable to Rush daw. Wala raw siyang nahalata na nag-uusap kami online when I was in the States. Nakakahinala raw ang nangyari at biglaan. But because Rush is really not that open about his relationship and such things, it'd passed na raw.

For me, I don't care if they will not believe about this shit. But for Rush, it's really a big freaking deal. That's why this is the reason, I have a bad, terrible, and difficult morning until now. Malaking kaso sa kanya kasi nakasalalay ang relasyon niya rito. You know, I shouldn't care. It is his business. But if this plan doesn't work out, mapapauwi ako ng California. Patong-pato na kasalanan ang mauungkat. Wala akong mukhang mahihirap kay Kelsey...lalo na kay Daddy.
