Narration
Joy sat on the bench outside the grocery store while patiently waiting for Ford to finish. They had been doing their best to not get recognized by anyone but they couldn't avoid the public completely.
"Hey, I'm done. Let's go?" she looked up once she saw Ford holding a small plastic bag. She nodded and stood up.
"Mauna ka na sa sasakyan. Baka may makakita pa saatin kung sabay tayo." she told him. He sighed and nodded. He badly wanted to hold her hand but he knew he couldn't. He shouldn't. It would risk too many things for both of them and their bands.
Ford sat and waited in his Aston Martin for Joy. After a few minutes he saw her walking out of the mall while looking at her phone as she walked towards his car.
"Sorry natagalan." she apologized after getting in.
"Okay lang don't worry about it. Did something happen?" he asked.
"May nakasalubong ako na fans when I was walking out. Signed a few phone cases and took some pictures with them."
"No paparazzi right?" she shook her head and took off her mask and cap. She knew his car's windows were all tinted so they were safe inside.
"Let's go?" he asked. She nodded her head and sat comfortably in the passenger seat with his hand on her thigh.
