COINCIDENCE - JOÃO FÉLIX

9. trip

ADELINA'S POV
my phone rang, i groaned as i tried to cancel the alarm. i had put like fifty of them before going to sleep so i can finish packing before our trip later.

i brushed my teeth and hair before putting it up into a high ponytail. i then went downstairs and made myself a cup of coffee before going back upstairs and continuing to pack from yesterday.

i didn't have much left to pack except some outfits and makeup. it only took me thirty minutes to finish, thank god. i hated packing and wasn't looking forward to unpacking after our trip.

the door bell rang causing me to run downstairs. i was met with clara who was smiling almost creepy. reminded me of that movie. "OH MY GOD, YOU'RE NOT READY YET?" she asked.

why she telling me to get ready? we are staying in the car for half the day. "i'm going like this." i said, walking away. i was wearing shorts and a huge sweater. i didn't like being uncomfortable on road trips. it would ruin my entire mood.

"ugh fine. be boring!" she rolled his eyes, closing the door behind her. "why are you here so early?" i asked.

"i wanted to see if you needed help. i also have free time since we aren't leaving for another hour." she said before adding. "oh and the boys are waiting in the car so, get your bag." 

"what? now!? okay fine." i ran upstairs to get my suitcase and then came downstairs to put my shoes on. we then walked out together where the car was in front of my house.

"sit in the back!" she said as she quickly ran to the front seat next to andre. joão came out of the car, saying hi to me before helping me put my suitcase in the trunk.

"thanks." i said, smiling. we ended up having to sit next to each other which i didn't mean. andre and clara were in their own little world, both had their headphones listening to the same song and holding hands.

"did you sleep well last night?" joão asked, leaning in. i turned my head to look at him before nodding. "yeah, did you?" i asked. he nodded as well before looking away.

this is awkward as hell.

i looked through my phone for a couple of minutes before turning on my music and looking out the window.

i felt joão tapping my shoulder causing me to turn to look at him and take off my airpod. "what are you listening to?" he asked.

"do you wanna listen?" i asked which he nodded to quickly. i smiled to myself before taking out one of my airpods from the case and handing it to him. i looked at him to see if he would approve of my music taste.

it took him a few seconds before he realized what song i was listening to, he gave me a nod with a thumbs up causing me to laugh.

i was zoning out until i noticed joão try to lie down. he put his head on my lap, meeting eyes with me. he raised his eyebrows at me causing me to smile at him. "sorry, i'm sleepy." he spoke with a soft voice.

"you're fine." i said. "am i? thanks, i know." oh my god he's so cringe.

i quickly hit him causing him to groan in pain. "let me sleep! don't give me nightmares." he whined before closing his eyes and crossing his arms.

i ended up dozing off as well since i didn't get a good sleep. the coffee did not help.

—

i didn't realize i had slept throughout the entire drive until joão woke me up. "get up, adelina. we made it." he said, gently. i looked around as i stretched before nodding.

clara and andre already ran into the beach house that we had rented. it looked absolutely beautiful from outside. joão helped me with my suitcase as we walked into the house together.
