Be With You

04

My lips pouted when Quen held my wrist to stop me from tapping his head. He had this playful smirk on his face when he put my hand down and placed it on my lap after gesturing me to sit down properly on the shotgun seat. Mabilis ko naman itong sinunod at hinawi ang buhok kong tumakip sa mukha ko.

"You should rethink about getting drunk next time, Kj." he teasingly told me while putting my jacket on my lap and adjusting the aircon afterwards.

"and why is that? I'm perfectly fine." I said to him, wiggling a little at my seat trying to find a comfortable position. Now I'm really sleepy. When I found the right spot to lean my body, I turned a bit to stare at him. Kahit inaantok ay kitang-kita ko na hindi pa rin maalis ang mapaglarong ngiti sa labi niya.He looks entertained and I tried really hard not to roll my eyes. "If you think that this is me flirting, well you are wrong because this is me being drunk." I added and pointed my fingers on my chest.

"That's why you can't be drunk in front of anyone."

Quen shook his head a little and got something from the backseat, when he crouched and put it on my feet. That's when I saw that it was a pair of white sneakers. I smiled, running my fingers through my hair to fix it in place.

"Who's shoes are these?" I mockingly laugh. "Don't tell me?"

"It's my sister's." he laughed silently, still fixing the shoes he made me wear.

"Ah!" I pouted when he flicked my forehead. Hinawak ko 'yon at sumandal na ulit dahil pipikit na ata ang mata ko.

I'm lucky I agree that Quen would drive me home, he took care of me. If Sheen was here she would do the opposite. Baka pagalitan niya pa ako.

I was about to close my eyes when I realize something. Napatingin ako kay Quen na nagsimula ng paandarin ang sasakyan.

"You have a sister?!" I was kind of shocked because I thought he was the only child! Or I already knew but I forgot? Ugh, gosh I'm really drunk.

"I have a sister." he said casually, his eyes fixed now on the road. "and a younger brother."

"Really? I didn't know that." I muttered and played with my lower lip while thinking if I really knew that information about him. "So you're the oldest?" He nodded, attention still on the road but managed to give me a quick glance. "That's why you know how to take care of me." I chuckled.

"Wear your seatbelt." he demanded and double checked if I did what he just told me. I struggled a bit because of dizziness, i'm really sleepy now but tried my best to talk to him since he was driving. "Sleep, I'll wake you up once we're already at your house."

"Isn't it rude to sleep while you're driving?" I mumbled, head resting now on the car's window. "Person who sits on the shotgun seat must entertain the driver!" Tinaas ko pa ang kamay ko kasabay ng pagpikit ng mata. My brow furrowed when I heard his laugh again.

Nakakatawa ba talaga ako? Yeah, maybe I'm a joke because Jasper ghosted me for Irene. Sila naman kasi talaga, sumingit lang ulit ako.
