Beautiful Escape

📲 To: Jho
*Good morning, Ms. Maraguinot! Your driver is waiting. Chos! Hahahaha! Andito nako sa baba.*

I didn't told her I stayed here at the parking lot the whole night. I figured, if I go home, for sure, male-late ako.

Talking about priorities here, guys!

Not too long, I saw her approaching na.

I unlocked the door and she went inside. She's busy putting all her stuff at the backseat and I'm just here, grinning like an idiot because her "just woke up" face is too cute I can't even. Ugh.

When she's finally settled, she looked at me with a confused (cute) face.

"Anyare sa'yo?"

"You're so cute."

"Alam ko. Hahahaha! Good morning!"

I pinched her cheek. "Goooood morning, you!"

I started the engine and off we go.

"Wait. Yan suot mo kagabi ah?! Umuwi ka ba?!"

I glanced and winked at her.

"Whyyy???"

"Kasi if umuwi ako, for sure di kita masusundo on time."

"So papasok ka ng office na di naliligo? Hahaha!"

"Of course, not! Hahaha! Uuwi ako after I drop you off."

"You're so weird. Pero, thank you!!!" She reached out for my right arm and hugged it.

Awww. Mas lalo ko siyang mami-miss.

Teka?! Ba't naging clingy to?! Nakakapagtaka but who am I to complain, right?

"Slept well?"

She just nodded - still hugging my arm. Alam niyo yung nahihirapan akong mag-drive pero di ko na naiisip yun kasi nakayakap si Jho.

Well, semi-yakap. But you all get the point.

"Wait!!!"

I stepped on the brake as fast as I could.

"Jho! Huwag pabigla-bigla! You're not wearing your seatbelt pa naman!!!"

Hinarang ko sa kanya yung kamay ko.

She scratched her head and pursed her lips. Her face looks apologetic.

"May nakalimutan ako."

"Ano? Should we go back?"

"Ay, hindi. Hindi na. Nakalimutan ko lang i-text. Hehe! Tara."

Inirapan ko siya and started driving again.

She's busy texting while I'm focusing on the road.

"What time ka ba usually pumapasok ng office?"
