The Revenge of the Former Fangirl

Part 2.24 : Second Date

BETHANY'S POV

"W-what?"

"Oh well, I am not giving you a choice but to come with me, anyway."

"Tss. Ang kulit mo. Saan ba tayo pupunta?"

"Basta... stop asking. Kung gusto mo, matulog ka muna. Malayo-layong byahe pa 'to."

"Nyek. Hala. Oy ah! Baka naman may masama kang balak sakin."

We are now inside his car and he started the engine.

"Tss. What the heck? Joke lang naman yung pang-aalaska ko sayo. Di kita type noh."

"Eh san nga kasi tayo pupunta?"

"It's a surprise. So, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride."

Nag-drive thru muna kami tapos ayun, natulog nga ako.

Hay. Bahala na nga.

Wala naman nang rason para hindi ko pagkatiwalaan ang taong to, matapos nyang iligtas ang buhay ko before.

Well, I know I should be reminded of what made me return to this country with Tyler in the first place.

At yun nga ay ang paghigantihan sya...

Pero mula nung iniligtas nya ko dun sa bangin last time, nakunsensya ako.

Dahil parang bumalik yung Lance na unang nakilala ko bilang isang mabuting tao, na unang nagparamdam sakin na importante ako.

"Wag kang mag-alala... hindi mo narin siya kailangan kasi..."

"Kasi?"

"Kasi nandito na 'ko.... Kung di ka na nya kailangan, mas kaya mong wala sya. Kasi may iba pang handang umalalay at magpasaya sayo..."

I remembered him say those words, and right then I knew...

Maybe this guy really wants me happy.

Well if I find out that he really doesn't, I actually don't care...

What's important for me now is...

He is doing something to make me happy, and I hope he succeeds.

"Wake up."

"Huh?"

"Open your eyes, ugly Bethy."

"hmmm..."

As I opened my eyes,

"OMG!"

I screamed in astonishment.

"NASA EK TAYO?! Kyaaa! Tara na! Bilisan mo!"

I looked back at him and he was shaking his head amusingly.

I immediately went out of the car and so did he.

But I was surprised as he suddenly held my hand and pulled me to run.

"Sabihin mo lang kung saan, sasama ako sayo. Pero wag kang bibitaw, dahil asahan mong di ko bibitawan ang nga kamay mo..."

"Grabe ang saya!" I said after we rode flying fiesta.
