Works of Love (Hiraeth 2: Max And Chanel)

Chapter 20

"Quit staring, baka mabangga tayo." Nahihiyang saway niya sa binata.

He keeps on glancing at her everytime. She's confident that she's beautiful but it's so nakakahiya!

"Bagay sa 'yo ang hair color mo." Max compliment.

He noticed? Her hair is naturally brown, there's just light changes by the dye and only people who observed her can really notice. So, it means...

She blushed on her thought. 

"T-Thanks. I cut my hair too." 

He smiled. "Napansin ko nga. Para kang anghel sa mahaba mong buhok dati pero ngayon para ka ng dyosa."

Usually Max smirked or playfully laugh but he's really sincere saying that.

"Max, you're complimenting me too much!"  Oh my gosh, her heart can't take more banat.

"Honest lang ako, Mal." Max winked at her.

She just fall for him even more.

But what's cute funny is they're playing twinkle-twinkle little star because they don't have any song ideas relating to their favorite. Kaya twinkle-twinkle lang muna. 

"I'm glad I wasn't the one driving because I can look at you freely." She said smiling while looking at her.

"Mal, ayaw kong mahimatay habang nagdadrive baka mapahamak ka. Spare me for 10 minutes, please." He plead.

She stop herself from giggling. She loves seeing his pleading face, it's quite similar on his face while they're doing it. 

"Is it bad if I'm being honest, too? Like yellow suits you so much. You're really my ball of sunshine." 

"Mal, i-shut na lang ang mouth. Malapit na tayo, oh. Baka matigil pa tayo ng 30 minutes----"

"Oh, only 30 minutes? You can only last that long?" Pagdadrama niya.

The car suddenly stops. It's good thing that they're in the middle of the dark secluded road. 

She thought that Max is gonna kiss her but instead he close her eyes calming himself. She look at his crotch are and it's bulging. Hello there, big guy. 

"You won't kiss me to shut me up?" She teased.

"I don't want to mess your lipstick, It's your favorite shade. At ang buhok mo na inayos mo ng matagal baka magulo. I don't have the heart to ruin your beautiful look tonight."

Her heart melted on what Max said. He's really thoughtful. She loves on how he really thinks about her. She'd been treated like a princess as she is a Benjamin but with Max, she feels like a queen.

"Pero mamaya ka sa 'kin," Max warned but it just make her excited.

So, they'll gonna do it! Later!

"So, where are we going?" She asked.

"To forever and ever. Padlock."

She rolled her eyes but remained smiling on his response.

They finally arrive on their destination. Pinagbuksan siya ni Max ng pinto while she's still hugging the flowers he gave. Nang makalabas siya ay sumalubong sa kanya ang preskong hangin. The area is kind of elevated, mukhang tama ang hinala niyang nasa top of the hill sila. The wind is cold but feels refreshing and when Max held her hand, the cold never bother her.

She can't help but to smile looking at their intertwined hands. Yes, Max already hold it under the table on that lunch in Benj U cafeteria but it feels different tonight as he's not holding her pinky finger as they walk, it's now her hand. They already have label.
