"Umayos ka! Hindi ka magaan!" - singhal ko sa kanya habang nakaalalay sa bewang nya.
Kanina kasi na pauwi kami nag yaya sya na dumaan ng bar. Hindi ko sya sinamahan. Nag stay ako sa kotse ng ilang oras dahil una, ayaw kong ma issue na mag kakilala kami, pangalawa, safe naman kasi yung bar dahil sa mga security nito, at may mga suki din dito na celebrity katulad nya.
E kanina sa kasarapan ng idlip ko sa driver seat may tumawag sa phone ko. Yung bartender pala at sinasabi na nag papasundo na daw si Quinn. Ginawa pa akong utusan. Wala tuloy akong choice kundi ang bumaba. Mabuti nalang ay may extra mask sa loob ng sasakyan, iyon muna ang sinuot ko para ma takpan ang mukha ko.
"Let me go. I.. I can walk!" - she muttered and tried to get away from me.
Nasa tapat na kami ng kotse nang humarap sya sa akin. Napadiin ang isa kong kamay sa gilid ng kotse dahil muntik na kami ma out balance habang ang isa kong kamay ay nanatili sa bewang nya para alalayan sya.
Hinawi nya ang buhok nya at mapungay ang mata na tiningnan ako. Maya maya ay inabot nya ang mask na suot ko at bahagyang binaba na mabilis ko din inaagapan dahil kahit sa ganitong lugar alam kong may mga paparazzi.
"I don't want to be on the news with you," - I said, opening the passenger seat. "Get in the car."
"Why can't it be me in the first place, Ken?" - she asked.
Her question wasn't for me. It's for Kuya because she's also shedding tears right now.
"I'm always there, but you never once look my way," - she added, bowing her head while sniffing.
"Get in the car. Don't make a scene here," - I said with a passive expression behind the mask.
"Answer me first."
I let out an exhausted sigh and caressed my hair in frustration.
"I'm not him, so stop your bullshit and get in the fucking car." - My voice is dangerously low, making her eyes drift to me. She must have realised that I'm Kenny.
Tiim bagang na binuksan ko ang passenger seat pero ilang segundo pa syang nakipagtitigan sa akin bago tuluyan pumasok sa loob.
Pag kaupo ko sa driver seat ay nakita ko syang umiiyak pa din pero walang tunog. Dinukot ko ang panyo ko at inabot sa kanya. Tinanggal ko na din ang face mask ko dahil tinted naman itong kotse.
Muli ko syang tiningnan dahil hindi nya tinanggap yung panyo na inaabot ko. Napabuntong hininga ako at gumalaw sa upuan ko. Lumapit ako sa kanya at masuyong hinawakan ang pisnge nya.
I wipe her tears with a serious expression on my face.
"Your tears won't change a thing. They're still going to get married," - I told her, and I put the handkerchief on her palm.
My eyes look back at her face. She looks sleepy, and her nose is red from crying.
"You can sleep if you want. I'll take you home safe and sound." - My lips stretch for a small smile, assuring her that she's not alone tonight.
When I'm about to lean back on my chair, her arms stop me by wrapping around my neck, which surprises me as well.
When our foreheads touch, my breathing becomes heavy, and my heart beat becomes loud when she delicately draws circles on my nape. Her warm, minty breath mixed with liquor is a turn-on as she draws her face near.
"Quinn..." - I whispered. My eyes were going back and forth from her eyes down to her lips.
"I'm sorry. Are you mad at me?" - she softly asked, caressing my cheek.
