Asking Dennise for a date was way beyond my belt. I never asked someone to go out, tho Rachel is not the exception. I never asked her for a date too. I wasn't serious about it. Though i think Dennise's eyes is really burning when i asked those words to her parents.
When they heard my words their mouth immediately wide open. They really are shocked because of what i said. They can't blame me, i love playing along with their daughter. Now i won, she really is annoyed as hell.
"Dennise aren't you done yet? You took too long!" Her dad yelled out loud while waiting down the stairs.
"Dad calm down! Im not going with her ok?!"-Den
"What?!" Her mom suddenly interrupted. She looked at me before standing up. "Get down here young lady!"
"It's okay tita and tito."
"No it's not. It's the first time since she has her last date."-Den's dad
"When is the last time po?" I curiously asked him. Sure! Dennise is beautiful, and i can't believe that someone had dated her. Note the sarcasm on it.
"When she was in junior high."-Den's mom
Getting the hint of her mom's words i nodded my head. So she means Den's last date was 2 years ago. That was way too long. Why did she stop dating people anyway?
"I think I should go in her room."
"Are you sure?"-Den's dad
"Yes po." I replied taking my way up the stairs. "That joke really get into her nerves, is she going to believe me after i tell her the truth?" I asked myself, cursing under my breath. I shouldn't have told her a joke like that, knowing the girl is too sensitive.
*knock *knock
"What do you want?"-Den
"May i come in?" I asked leaning against her door.
"No. You may not."-Den
"Please?"
After three minutes of waiting I heard her footsteps near the door. The door slowly opened and a girl in blue pjs and white fitted tank top is standing in front of me. She's giving me a angry stare before stepping aside for me to get in.
"What are you doing here?" She asked through greeted teeth.
I didn't give her a word before getting in and pulling her to close the door. I locked it and raised an eye brow when she do the cross arm above her chest. "Im here to ask you for a date." I mumbled.
"Oh shut up."-Den
"Ok." Then i motion myself to zip my mouth.
"Come on Valdez. What brought you here?"-Den
"I told---"
"Seriously!" She cut me off. She shook her head and sit on her bed.
"I am here to fetch you."
"Fetch me? For what?"-Den
I pouted my lips, "Steffie's house. Didn't she text you or something?"
"Nope." She shrugs. "Are you telling me the truth?"
"Yes i am. Here! I will show you her text message when i was lying on our balcony.!" I showed her my phone. And before I knew she pulled me out of her room.
When we reached the first floor of their house she excitedly said it to her parents. Her parents just shook their heads when Dennise acted like a five year old kid with a tantrum. They are strict, not like my mom.
"That was close." Dennise said taking a deep breath.
Her parents doesn't want to give her permission. They said she already broke their rules many times. I never had those kinds of rules, tho Dennise a super disciplined girl has all of it. Poor thing! I bet she feels like shit.
The time we get inside my car i didn't start my car yet. I leaned my forehead on my steering wheel. Taking a deep sigh i felt Dennise's hand on my back. Stroking it, then in a cue i felt a sudden comfort and safety. She awaken every system in my body, the weird race of my heart beat and the butterflies inside my stomach.
"I can drive if you want." She softly said. She gave me a cheeky smile that made me smile too.
"Nah. Im fine."
"Are you sure?"-Den
"Yes," i replied switching my key to start the car. "Bakit sobrang stricto ng parents mo?" I asked when we got out of their village.
"Hindi ko alam." Nakasimangot niyang sagot. She shrugs her shoulder before leaning her left cheek on her seat. "I think because I broke their rules many times in a row."
"Huh! You're one of the 'rule breaker' too?"
"I think so! I mean, hello. Im not a kid anymore to follow those rules like 'no barkada' 'no sleepovers' 'umuwi ng maaga' tapus dami dami pa! Nakakainis."-Den
"Hahaha, grabe naman yun!"
"I know right! So irritating."-Den
"Eh baka naman kasi mabarkada ka talaga?"
"Hindi ah! Sila Kelsey, Steffie, Fille at Gretchen nga lang barkada ko! Wala ng iba."-Den
"Eh ako?"
Nanahimik ito kasabay ng pag upo niya ng tuwid. Umiling nalang ako at saka bumuntong hininga. It hurts that im not on her friends's list.
"What songs do you like?"-Den
"Love, country, R&B, Rock and new songs."
"Oww nice. We have the same taste din pala."-Den
Ngumiti lang ako at hindi na sumagot. Hindi ko na alam kung anong sasabihin ko, I don't know why. After confessing that I like her, I don't know how to feel or act towards her. So awkward and embarrassing.
Yeah, when I asked her parents about the date a while back it was a joke. And now, wala na. Para akong natahimik na ewan. Nakakaloka tong pakiramdam na to, bwisit.
I never felt this way before, not even on Rachel's. Hindi naman kasi talaga seryoso yung kay Rachel, we are best friend. And we thought that maybe trying to be together would be better than best friend.
Well, maybe we felt the same way before. Like there is something in between but at the end i still feel like im her best friend or sister and not something beyond those relationships. And now, im feeling weird towards this girl inside my car. What will I do?
