The Show Must Go On

"What are your plans after new year?"

We're on our way home, but he has to drop me home first. He swiftly moved the steering wheel to the left and glanced at me, waiting for my answer.

"I'm planning to go home, to my family." I answered looking outside the car's window.

"Oh, I just visited them last week." my brows furrowed because of what he said. "I mean, my family. I visited my family just last week." he corrected.

I nodded. "how about you? What are your plans after new year?"

He shrugged. "Can I come with you?"

I rolled my eyes. "No."

I saw him pout his lips before moving the car on the side of the road where our building is located. I unbuckled my seat belt and looked at him.

"Maybe, I'll just spend my rest days with my friends." he answered, leaning on his seat.

I nodded and get my things on the back seat. He removed his seatbelt and heloed me with my things. He saw the box full of roses and smiled

"I was thinking if I should buy your birth flower but I have to say sorry immediately so I bought roses instead." he said while looking at the box. He took it and opened his door so he could go out.

I walked out of the car too and he gave me the box. I can carry that but he chose to walk out of his car. Tss.

" thanks. "I said and waved at him.

He smiled and nodded. He put his hands inside his pockets before walking backwards but stopped. My grip on the box tightened as he leaned closer to me and put the strands of my hair that's covering my face behind my ear.

" Good night, love."

I can't even roll my eyes at him like I used to when he become cheesy all the time.

I nodded and look away. Feeling so awkward with our position.

"tomorrow is 23, do you have an appointment in 24 evening?" he asked, standing properly now. But he's too close.

I shook my head. "nothing. Celebrate Christmas with the members, I guess."  I answered simply.

"let's go out for dinner." it's not even a question.

"what's with you? We should only hang out during Sunday right?" I asked  and he just laugh.

"I just want to celebrate my Christmas with.. Ahmm." he scratched his head.

I raised my brows waiting for his answer.

"It's sweet right? A couple celebrating their Christmas together?" he asked.

Oh, he want me to be with him in Christmas eve because we're pretending.

I nodded while licking my lips.
"I'm sure, they will think it's cute. That's what usually happens in dramas." I said and started walking.

"so, bye? Take care." I waved at him.

"you go first." he said and waved back at me.

I turned my back against him and walked inside the building. When I reach our condo, I removed the dried flowers in the vase inside my room. I started putting the roses he gave me before taking a half bath.

I lay on my bed and checked my phone first.
