"Do you really have to go there?" Ryder asked for the nth time. Nakapasok na ako sa sasakyan at lahat lahat, iyan pa din ang tanong niya.
"Aalagaan namin si Caeleah! Wag ka ngang ano!" Bulyaw sa kanya ni Eliana na nakaupo sa may front seat, "Kasalanan mo yan, artista ka kasi ng artista, ayan, wala ka na tuloy time kay Caeleah."
"Shut your fiance's mouth, Cola." Ryder hissed before looking at me again, "Cassidy."
"Ryder, you know I can't turn down Eliana's request. She asked for my presence, so I will go."
"But..." Ngumuso siya at napakamot nalang sa batok niya, "Okay, fine, just make sure you'll take care of yourself and Cryd."
"Of course." Aakmang isasarado ko na yung pintuan ng kotse pero pinigilan niya ito, "Pangako?"
"Pangako." I groaned, ngumiti siya saka pinisil ang pisngi (which is really annoying), "I'll miss you."
I pushed his hands away, "Oo na, oo na. Bye na."
"Bye then." He smiled saka umayos ng tayo, nakita ko naman sa bandang likuran si Britney, kumakaway sa akin kaya tinanguan ko siya.
Cryd, who's sitting beside me, cocked his head and bid goodbye. Pinaandar naman na ni Cola ang sasakyan after that heart-warming scenario, note the sarcasm in that.
"Ano bang gayuma ang pinalaklak mo diyan kay Ryder at patay na patay sa'yo?" Eliana asked sarcastically.
Nginitian ko siya at isinandal ang ulo ko sa may bintana, "Wake me up once we're there." I said half-yawning.
Nagreklamo pa si Eliana dahil minsan na nga lang daw kami magkita ay tutulugan ko pa siya, I shut my eyes so that she can't disturb me any longer.
2 am na kasi kami nakatulog ni Ryder, I was watching a midnight marathon of the Walking Dead, Ryder joined me. Pati siya tuloy ay puyat.
Mabuti at hindi pa masyadong mahilig sa ganoong palabas si Cryd, he's still fond of Barney and Spongebob, kaya naman maaga siyang natulog kagabi sa kwarto namin.
"Mommy, you can rest your head on my lap so you can sleep peacefully." Untag ni Cryd, he probably noticed that I was having a hard time sleeping with my position right now since my head keeps on hitting the window. The ride's not really that smooth.
"Are you sure?" I asked as I opened my eyes, he smiled and nodded. I agreed with his suggestion, inihilig ko ang ulo ko sa kanyang binti saka ipinikit ang aking mga mata, "Thank you, baby boy."
"Manang-mana talaga kay Ryder. Sweet din." I heard Eliana giggled, I ignored her and let myself sleep peacefully.
But peaceful is not when you're with Eliana. Hindi rin ako nakatulog ng maayos despite the most comfortable position dahil sa kaingayan ng kaibigan ko.
Besides, may kasama pa pala kami, the photographer they hired, which is kakilala daw namin noong high school. I doubt that I'll be able to recognize whoever it was...or so I thought.
"Kuya Kenneth!" Eliana beamed as she peaked outside her window. Tumingin din ako sa labas para tignan ang lalaking kinakausap ni Cola and true enough, it was Kenneth Gonzales.
He was our senior, a year older than us, the same guy that Ryder has a grudge on because Kenneth has a huge crush on me and is planning to court me back then.
"Hi, Caeleah! Long time no see?" Kenneth greeted nang pagbuksan ko siya ng pinto.
"Hi, Kuya." I smiled at him saka umusog para makaupo siya sa tabi ko, "So, ikaw yung sinasabi nilang photographer?"
