Voice on the Radio

Chapter 4

Vince and I spent the day as he told me to be. Indeed, it was very special. We packed our things and went to a rest house. We stayed there for two days and made the most out of it. It's as if those days would be our last days together even if we have lots of time ahead of us.

We were on our way back to my place when Vince suddenly stopped driving and parked his car somewhere. Sure, I was asleep when that happened but I felt the sudden stop of the car which caused me to wake up.

"Vince, what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Don't try to fool me Vince. You won't stop the car if everything's alright."

"Let's just talk about it later. Let's just go home, okay?"

"Fine. But be sure to tell me what's happening the moment we arrive at my house." Vince just nodded for an answer and started to drive again. I guess there's really something that's going on here. I just can't seem to figure out what it is.

The moment we arrived at my house, I sat down at the couch and waited for Vince to start talking. But guess what, he didn't talk. He sat on the couch as well and we were silent for a couple of minutes. It seems like he doesn't want to talk about it so I assumed that I could just go to sleep and pretend that there's nothing wrong.

As soon as I stood up, I started walking away from Vince. I didn't bother to look back at him since it's very obvious that he's not into chit-chatting right now. But to my surprise, he hugged me from the back and it's as if he doesn't want to let go.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Nothing. I just want to hug you. Is something wrong with that?"

"Well, there's nothing wrong with that but it's just that you're acting a little weird today."

"You better get used to it. I'm really like that." He said as he forced a laugh.

"Yeah, right. I'm going to sleep now. Are you going to sleep as well?"

"Hmm. I don't know but I'll go with you already. Let's just see what would happen." Vince smiled at me and I felt butterflies in my stomach. He smiled a lot of times before but I don't know why I felt this way today.

I shrugged the thought away and changed into my sleeping attire. Vince did the same and we lied on the bed. We stayed quiet for a couple of minutes, again and after a while, I decided to kiss him good night. But to my surprise, he kissed me back and dozed off into another dimension.

Just kidding. Hahaha. Yeah, we did something else besides sleeping but we were conscious about every action that we make. In other words, we know what we are doing.

After doing the you know what thing, I suddenly realized something. I want to ask this to Vince but I don't know how to say it. But I guess he knew something was boggling me right now cause he asked me even before I got the chance to ask him.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Uhm."

"Let me guess, it's me right? Why do you keep on thinking about me when I'm already beside you? Can't you get enough of me?"

"Hey! Don't be too full of yourself. Pssh." I told Vince and smirked.

"Then what are you thinking about?"

"It's just that after doing what we did, I realized something."

"And what is it?"

"Is this the thing that you're thinking about a while ago?"

"What if I say yes?" I blinked at him as if I was astonished or something.

"Hey, what's with that look? Does this seem to be a joke to you or what?"

"It's not. It's just that I can't believe you were thinking this while you're driving and I'm asleep." I laughed out loud and kept on doing it as if there's no tomorrow. Vince turned red due to embarrassment and I even laughed some more because of that. Hahaha.

"Stop laughing will you?"

"Okay. I'm sorry. Hahaha."

"Hey! I said stop laughing." I tried to stop laughing and good thing I was able to stop. I just stared at Vince and did not even realize that I fell asleep already.

"I love you Carrie. How I wish we could stay like this forever."
