Days dragged on and Julie became really busy again while I stayed at home trying to do what I can to best write a song. But the problem is, i'm not like Julie who can create a beautiful pice in just one sitting. I am the type of person who needs to get out and explore, receive something from somewhere to realize things that could be the subject of any of my songs. So i planned to go for a drive an hour and try to go as far as I can but I had to be sure to come back home before Julie's return. It's a weird set up but as the day goes on, we get used to it. She'd call me during her free time, or send me a message even just to inform me that she's fine or she just had her lunch or dinner or rehearsal or gym and so forth. She's naturally sweet and no one even I could ever deny that.
"Babe, today's my off. Don't tickle me again," she whispered with her eyes still shut. That's how I wake her up, i need to tickle her. I sighed happily as I lay down beside her. I touched her cheeks and her hair and said, "Sorry. I thought you have shoot today."
After saying that, she force to open her eyes and asked what time it was.
"4 in the afternoon," i replied quietly. Her eyes widened and sat up immediately.
"Love, dahan dahan," i calmed her down.
"4 na?" she sighed and tied her hair. I prefer it down. Magulo. Pero maganda.
I smiled at her and nodded.
"Ligo lang ako and we're going outside!" she ran to the bathroom and I left there so confused. What's with the hurry? And after 30 minutes, she came out with her hoodie on and a jeans.
"Tara!" She grinned.
"Where are we going?" I asked as we both descend the stairs and head straight to the parking area.
"Basta! I drive today!" she held out her hand and my forehead creased.
"Keys?" she asked bossily.
"You dont have a license. Why would you drive?"
"Babe naman!" pagmamaktol niya. "Wala namang nakakaalam na wala akong license. Marunong naman akong mag drive!" pagkakamot niya sa ulo.
"You cant drive. Ayoko pag mamatay tayo," i mumbled. Her gaze bore on mine as I met her eyes.
"Grabeh! Hindi naman tayo mamamatay agad, Babe! Nagdadrive ako sa US," she went on.
"..pinagdrive ka ni Ninang kasi kinulit mo siya," i corrected her.
"Eee!"
"Nawp, you're not driving," i opened the passenger door and motioned her to get in. Umirap siya ng matalim and I have to hide my smile.
Key on the ignition and I looked at her beside me.
"Seatbelt please," i reminded her politely at nag seatbelt siya na may kasamang pagdabog. Hindi ko na lang yung pinansin. Natatawa na lang ako't napapailing.
"Where are we going?" i asked.
"Hindi ko alam! Bahala ka!" at bigla bigla siyang sumimangot.
"Julie, i will let you drive some other time. Wag lag ngayon," i said but she didnt move, not even speak. I sighed again.
"Tell me where do you wanna go," i asked as i started the engine.
"Coffee shop," she spoke so low and i almost didnt hear it.
I drove to the nearest coffee shop that I know she might like. I ordered us a latte plus a chocolate croisant and had a snack. After which, she told me to drive somewhere in the carnival.
"You cant go to carnival," i stopped her from walking.
"Bakit na naman?" Naiinis niyang tanong.
