Secret Novelty [ON-HOLD]

Chapter 8

// Janella's POV //

"Take me home. My car broke down, I need someone to drive me home." She stated while looking at me with her straight face as if she's cool with that sudden favor.

I froze as I glanced at her again and put all my stuff in the passenger seat.

She looked at me with a bored expression while putting some sanitizer on her hands and disinfecting herself which surprised me.

This woman is really unpredictable.

I don't know what to say but I immediately compose myself to not make myself look rude, like her.

But before that, I have to reprimand her for being rude to Lyndon and I. I don't know why she assumed that we're flirting or dating while we're clearly not?!

What the heck is wrong with her?!

"Miss, I don't wanna be rude but Lyndon doesn't deserve that. You're being rude, Ma'am." I frankly said to her while she's disinfecting herself. Again, you don't know me. I'll let this pass since you are knew here and probably didn't know anything about me either. We're not together and we're not flirting with each other. We're very aware about the rules." I continued that made her stop whatever she's doing and I noticed that she clenched her jaw before turning her gaze on me.

"Wow. That's the longest I heard you talk. I might have pull a nerve on you or something. How impressive my skills were. Haha." She said while letting her hand go through her hair while sarcastically laughed. "Hmm, Is that so? Then let me know you a little more then.. how 'bout that? She smirked and looking at me challengingly while wiggling her eyebrows.

We're basically at the back of my car where my trunk is. I started to lean back because she's slow walking towards me. Closer and closer.

Now she's infront of me! Basically 6 inches apart. The way she stares at me gave me this weird feeling in my stomach.

This feeling is really new to me.

She then smirked at me then slowly moved away.

Finally! I can breath properly now.

"What? Cat got your tongue?" I looked at her in disbelief while she's laughing now while walking towards the passenger seat.

Gosh, this woman!

"Miss, hindi pa ako pumapayag." Tawag ko sa attention niya. "Janella, I wouldn't take no as an answer. Alam ko naman na hindi mo rin akong kayang iwan dito, right?" I mentally slapped my head in frustration because I have no choice. Feeling close talaga siya!

"Miss, I have somewhere to go." Malamig na sagot ko. Naiirita natalaga ko sakanya.

Nakatayo lang ako sa gilid niya habang siya naman ay naka crossed arms pa at naka sandal sa pintuan ng sasakyan ko.

Nakita ko na biglang kumunot ang noo nito at nagsalitang muli. "Hira residences Condominium. No buts, let's go. I'm tired." Binuksan niya ang pinto ng kotse ko then umupo na. Wala pang ibang nakagagawa noon kahit pa ang mga kaibigan ko.

Ayos lang naman sa akin dahil ginawa naman niya ang lahat ng ginagawa ko bago pumasok ng sasakyan ko. Pati na rin ang mga sapatos niya ay nilagyan niya ng footsocks.

Halata kong alam niya kung paano ihandle ang mga taong katulad ko!

Sasagot pa sana ako ng sinamaan ako ng tingin. I still respect her as my professor pero namumuro na siya.

Hays! Sana kayanin ko pa ito!

Umiling-iling nalang ako at pumasok nalang sa kotse. Umupo na ako sa driver's seat at isinukbit na ang seatbelt. Ganun na rin ang ginawa ni Ms.Nueves at inayos ko na lahat ng salamin at ginawa ko ang usual na ritual ko bago paandarin ito. Nakailang beses rin ang ng pagcheck para masigurong ligtas kami.
