Maven and Adrianna were like the sun and the moon. Their paths were meant to cross but not to sync eternally.
Both from prominent wealthy families separated by hatred and vendetta, they should've left it at that. But fate has a funny way to let them...

"Sino ba tong comment nang comment sa IG mo, Dri?"
Still holding the wheels in my hand while I pressed on the gas, I had my head craned at the side to have a look of him. He was hovered over his phone, his thick brows furrowed together, his face was scowling and he was beyond annoyed.
He looked like a child who was robbed of his lollipop. I can't help but smile at the sight of him. Maven and adorable doesn't mix together but at that moment, he was for me.
"Which one?", I asked, trying my best to stamp on the smile threatening to show at my face. "FlynnRider daw." He scoffed, he turned to me "How fcking original does that make him?"
We were inside my Jaguar while cruising our way at the high-end road of McKinley going to SM Aura. There were far more convenient grocery store like WLA Food concept and down below Serendra but it was unsettling that someone might see us together. Maven told me that we should go somewhere crowded, so at least, there would be more people that would hide us from anyone familiar.
"He's a friend", I said in nonchalance, now eyes on the road. "Seriously? Andami mo naman yatang 'he's a friend'" I could already tell with the way he said it, that he we gritting his teeth. He added, "Una yun meztisong hilaw, tas itong tao sa tangled and don't even start on me with those douchebags at school"
I raised my brow at him as I shifted the gear, "If I didn't know better, I would think you're getting jealous" With my free hand, while the other was still holding the wheels, I laid my hand on his leg and squeezed his knee.
"Mav, you're getting riled up over something insignificant." I said calmly. When his eyes were still anywhere but my way, I squeezed his knee some more. "Meztisong—I mean, Rocco is a childhood friend, he's harmless. Flynn is my go-to buddy in college and nothing more and yung mga guys na lumalapit sa school ,nagpapatulong lang yon. Classmate ko sila sa Consti I, you know how crazy it is"
Of course there was no response from Maven after what I said. He acted as if he had not heard me, as if I had not spoken. And Maven loss on his words hit me anew. He was always argumentative but this time, he was ever venting about this ridiculous issue.
When I darted my eyes back to the road, I felt Maven shifting in his seat. Hands now lying atop of mine, he turned to me this time, saying "Dri, I never pegged you as dense"
"I'm not dense. Don't you trust me?" I told him, tone as scathing as he did. "I do, a lot in fact", His deep voice still rough with the storm of his temper, "But the guys around you? No fcking way and it's not helping that I can't kick their asses because this, us, is supposed to be under wrap"
I squeezed his hand that covered mine. I shot him a look. This was obviously a sore subject for him as it was for me. "Let's not go down that jealous-ville okay?"
