her car isn't yours

His Car Isn't Yours - WENDY

--

"Hey, Den!" I snapped out of my thoughts, and looked at the person on the driver's seat. 

"Yes, sorry?" I asked, she looked at me briefly before looking at the road again.

"Okay ka lang?" she asks.

"Yes, sorry," I said, "you were talking about?"

"Yeah, I was actually asking if you're free next Saturday?" 

"Oh," I said, "I'm not really sure, but I will let you know."

"Okay, sure," she says with a smile, I smiled back. 

I quietly sighed, and looked at the road while we're taking the now quiet streets of BGC. Me and Mika just had our second date, and actually, she's very nice and fun. I met her through a mutual friend and decided to match us. 

"We're here," she says as she pulls up in front of my house. 

I smiled, "thank you Miks. I really had a great night."

Mika smiled back, "I had a great night, too, Den. Hoping we can hang out again."

I only smiled and went in for a kiss in the cheek, "see you soon, Miks."

"Good night, Den."

"Good night, Mika."

I watched her drive away. 

"Den!" Alyssa waves at Dennise as soon as she saw her. She's on Den's driveway, waiting for Den to come outside. 

Dennise laughed, "hi, babe," Den says and kisses Alyssa's lips, "bakit hindi ka kasi pumasok?"

"I just arrived din naman, papasok na sana ako but you opened your door e," Alyssa answered as she open the door of the passenger's seat, once Den was inside her car, she quickly runs to the other side. 

Dennise had her forehead creased, "there's something different in your car."

Alyssa laughed, "you're slow naman, I thought mapapansin mo agad."

Dennise eyes widened as she realizes it, "oh my God, yes, yung scent! "

Alyssa nodded, "dumating na kanina yung parcel just before I went out, buti na lang. Did you like it?"

"I loved it," Dennise answered, "but, really, okay lang naman yung before."

Alyssa laughed, "it's okay. I remember you told me this scent reminds you of your childhood when you and your parents are going out on a trip, kaya binili ko."

Dennise smiled, as wide as she can, "you're very thoughtful, love."

"Anything for you, love. Ano, tara na? Or you want to stay here na lang?" Alyssa joked.

Dennise laughed, "let's go."

"So happy to see you again, Den," Mika says, I smiled at her.

"Masyado mo naman akong na-miss uy, we just saw each other last week," I said, she opened the door for me and I got in inside her car.

"I've been waiting for this day lang," she shyly said that made me laugh. 

"Missed you, too, Miks. You can say it, you know?" I joked. 

"I really missed you, Den, you've been on my mind the whole week," she confessed that caught me off guard.
