Wait what did he just said a while ago? I can't believe what had just happened. Me kissing Drew like that and Drew saying "we always find ourselves falling for the unexpected person"? It's just so unbelievable. When he kissed me, I should've resisted and pushed him away but I can't and I don't know why. Well maybe this is all because of the alcohol that kept me thinking about weird things. I should stop drinking before I might do something crazy again. Yeah right, now I'm feeling a little dizzy and I think I'm gonna fall.

"Hey Emma, are you okay?" James asked as he placed his hands on my shoulders to keep me from falling.

"Yeah I'm fine." I shrugged.

"Do you want me to take you home?" He looked at me and I can tell that he is really concern.

"I'll take her home." Drew interrupted as he placed his coat in my shoulders. He grabbed me by his left hand and pulled me out of the crowded place. I looked back and saw James' face expression. He seemed kinda upset.

"Hey what are you doing?" I blurted.

"I'm taking you home." Drew replied as he opened door of the front seat. He gently placed me inside and slowly locked the belts. He offered me some water and smiled. "Here drink this." I didn't hesitate and drank most of it. I was indeed really thirsty.

"Thanks." I smirk.

"Now you're smirking." He groaned.

"What's wrong with that? Are you the only one who can do that?" I blurted.

He looked me in the eyes and went closer. He leaned and pressed his lips with mine. My eyes opened very widely and I can't help but feel a bit shock. What's wrong with this guy? Why does he always have to do this? He just kisses me whenever and wherever he wants to. It doesn't feel right but why do I feel like a part of me wants to do the same? Then suddenly, without notice, I had just found myself kissing him back. 'Hey wake up Emma. Get yourself together. You're just drunk.' 'Just do it Emma. I know you've always wanted that to happen.' Yeah right. Now my thoughts and subconscious are arguing. We continued kissing until his phone vibrated. He pulled back and grabbed his phone to check on it. Andrea's name and picture is on the screen. She's calling Drew. But why?

"Do you mind?" He asked. His eyes looked a bit worried.

"Oh no I don't." I replied and pretended to laugh. 'Why should I mind anyways? It's not like we're together or something.' I thought to myself. I mean seriously, it's not my business so why should I bother? Yeah perfect. Now it's actually bothering me.

He tap the screen and answered the call.

"Andrea? Are you okay?" Drew immediately asked.

I'm starting to wonder on what they are talking about. Why does Drew sounds so troubled? Did something happened to Andrea? I couldn't really hear Andrea's voice since the speaker is off.

"Where are you?" "I'm in my car." "Yes I'm with that girl but we're not together."

'Ouch. That hurts.' My subconscious mocked. I can't help but agree with her. It really do hurts hearing him saying those words. I mean yeah I know that it's the truth. Nothing is going on between us. But why does it hurts to hear him say that to her directly? I know he's still into her. It's pretty obvious.

"Do you want me to take you home? Drew kept on asking.

'Why is he taking her home? Is he gonna leave me here?' I can't help but be bothered by it.

"I'm at Alex's house." "Okay I'll be there in a minute."

He turned his head to face me.

"I'm gonna take you home first. Are you okay with that?"

'She guess.' My subconscious tease.

"Ofcourse." I nod and fake a smile. There's nothing I could do anyway. I'm not his girlfriend so I can't say something about it.

Minutes later, we arrived at the hotel. I sat for a while and turned my head to face him.

"Thanks for the ride." I smiled a little and hurriedly step outside his car before he could say something. I can't take this heavy weight I'm feeling inside my heart anymore. I need to go to my room, take a shower and have a good sleep. This day was so long and tiring and all I could do about it is to take a rest.

I went inside the hotel and heard his car drove away. I reach for my room and went directly to me bed. "Whoah! What a day." I groan as I raised my hands to stretch my body. I stared at the ceiling for a while and thought about things. "I need answers." I calmly uttered. After all the things that had happened, I don't know why I could still act like everything is okay. There are a lot of things I want to know--- things that I'm really curious about. Why did Drew called James bro? How are they related to each other? How come I didn't know before that James and Alex are friends? Why did Drew said those words? Does he actually like me or is he just trying to pretend to show Andrea that he has already moved on? Am I really over with James? Ugh. These thoughts just keeps on coming together. I don't know what else to think. I looked at the clock to check on the time. "Look at how time flies so fast. It's already two in the morning." I said to myself. I lie down on the bed and soon fell asleep.
