"Ma'am?" Said the driver. He looked worriedly at the mirror but I shifted my puffy red eyes to outside.
"Just take me to the hell" I said casually whilst looking at the drops falling at the glass window of the car.
What a timing! It was raining. . .hard. It was like teardrops disassembling into different sections.
I thought the reporter said, it was just light rains but why the hell were many waters, falls and drops from clouds in the sky.
The driver gave me a small white cloth. At first, I didn't know what was that for until I felt that I soaked in water.
The driver put the key in the ignition and then I suddenly felt the car moving. I thanked him for the cloth.
"Where's Iñigo?" I said still staring at the outside whilst wiping my face and head.
"Ma'am, Sir Iñigo wanted to deliver this message and I quote, Don't hesitate to come with him if he invited you to somewhere. He's harmless. Ms. Zara, I don't know what was the meaning of that but Sir Iñigo said you knew alre-" I stopped him.
"As far as I know, I only asked if where was he at this present time" I can't stop myself from being so extremely harsh and I quickly realized what was I said.
He was older than me but I didn't show any respect to him and so I added to lighten the atmosphere. I don't want to be look rude especially to elders when in fact I shouldn't be the one to do that.
"Ergyl. Just call me Ergyl. Ms. Zara looks so formal and I looked older than you when you're calling me in that name. What's your name?" I spoke quietly and felt the embarrassment.
"Jeremy. Ms. Zar-I mean Ergyl. I would like to apologize for talking too much" Mr. Jeremy muttered.
"No. . . no. I should be the one to say sorry for being so harsh. I just had a bad mood, today" I uttered my apology indistinctly, still felt the shyness.
"It's okay, Ergyl. You obviously looked uncomfortable, the first step you took in the car. Maybe you just really had a bad mood today" I looked at him nervously. Is it really obvious that I much affected with the Starbucks moment?
"By the way, are you and Iñigo related? What was your relation with him?" I said with a low voice.
I was just dazed and confused why he offered a service right after I left the café. I thought he just felt pity or felt guilty to me when on the other hand he shouldn't be.
"Oh! I'm his personal driver. Well. . . their family driver" He said with his lips partly closed.
I didn't tend to respond nor talk him again. I just let the deafening silence filled the car.
I just sat mute whilst looking at the light on a tall pole next to the public road.
No one of us speak nor make a noise. I am making no utterance as well as he.
When street lights interested me enough, I directed my eyes in a particular direction.
Actually, Jeremy wasn't looked old. He has a dark brown messy hair fell over his clear, olive eyes. The scent of his pure manliness whiffed through my nose. His voice was a perfect balance of husky yet still sexy. I can say that he was physically attractive but isn't enough to make me impress.
Curiosity etched on my features when his hand was reaching something. I saw that he turned on the radio.
Been You by Justin Bieber was playing when I spoke.
"Can you just stop the song or just turn off the radio?" I murmured but enough to reach his ears.
"Oh! Sorry, Ergyl. It was like the atmosphere was kinda awkward so I turned on the radio for distraction" Jeremy laughed. Even his laughs, it was so manly. A laugh escaped with my mouth.
I saw him blushing in embarrassment but I just laughed inwardly.
"What's wrong? I'm not joking. I didn't do anything! What was the laughs for, huh?" He grumbled angrily.
"Nothing! I just find you held some sort of masculinity. You just didn't inform me that even your laughs, it was so manly" I explained still laughing.
"Oh! Next time, I will never laugh. . .again" He expressed with grumbling.
"No-No. It's not what I meant!" I waved my five.
"What, then?" I saw him raised his brow at the mirror.
"What I mean to say was, you laughed in a manly manner that nothing can break off your manliness" I uttered a sigh after explaining it to him.
"Your excuses, though" He uttered in a low voice.
"That's it! Swear!" I raised my hand and then swore above.
"Whatever" He yowled in a sarcastic way.
"But can I ask a question?" I made a long, high sound.
"Spill it" He turned the steering wheel.
"About your manly laugh. Are you doing it intentionally or it was really natural? You know, I'm just kinda curio-" He stopped because of the red sign.
"Of course. Natural! Who the hell will laugh in a manly way just to make impress with the girls. I'm not doing it intentionally" He complained in aloud voice.
"Okay. . . okay. Relax. Chill. Defensive? I just asked one question but you responded like I asked the hardest question in Who wants to be a Billionaire?" Jeremy looked like the wail of the siren.
"You know, I thought you're different from other girls. But just like Inigo's sisters, you're making fun of me" He growled sadly.
"I'll take that as a compliment" The car stopped, sign as we finally reached our house.
"To be honest, you made my day. I forgot in a matter of almost an hour that I had a horrible moment in Starbucks" I said whilst holding my pouch.
"Maybe driving wasn't only my purpose" He shrugged his shoulders.
I smiled. I waited him to go away and then turned my back. I got my iPhone and texted Iñigo. Before entering the gate, I tried to call him but the system said Iñigo was unattended.
I greeted my Dad and went to my room. I flooded Iñigo's inbox and called him many times but no one was answering.
For the last time, I felt like moments with Jeremy, that funny moments clear off.
I remembered the Starbucks moment. I got rushed out and dumped.
I was dumped a pass to a running back. I was dumped a bunt down the line.
That was another dumper. That was another failure.
