Be With You

"Yeah...friends," he repeated. "But what about the unspoken words between us?"

I was caught off guard by his question. I moved to my seat and looked in front but he didn't bother to change his position. He is still so close, his hot breath brushes on my cheeks.

"I have no idea what you are saying..." I muttered and played with my fingers.

He laughed softly and tucked the excess hair on my messy bun hair behind my ear.

"Really?" he chuckled.

I want to say that he was too close and ask him to move away but...

I know in myself that I don't want that.

"Y-yeah..." I shut my eyes as I heard my answer and my own voice.

"Alright." He nodded a little and moved back to his seat to start the engine of his car. "Let's get you home, kj."

I glanced at him and saw a ghost of a smile on his lips. Kunot ang noo ko. I don't understand him at all.

Sabagay...I really don't know how Quen's mood changed even before. He was so hard to read because Quen was always an okay person to me.

He's right. I have a lot of questions but like I said I don't want to entertain whatever this between us.

"I don't have a question." I answered and looked back at the window again where I could see the beautiful city lights.

"If you don't ask me a question then I will." he said and stopped his car in front of our house.

Para tuloy ayokong gumalaw at lumingon sa sinabi niya.

Quen Jung!

I want to remove my seatbelt and run quickly inside our house.

I can feel Quen remove his seatbelt and move closer to me so he can remove mine. When I didn't turn to him, his hand brushes on my arms down to my elbow and made me face him.

"I'm talking to you..." he said in a very low but still soft voice. I almost closed my eyes. "Look at me."

"I'm looking..."
