EYHNTK- Ride

"Drive you home? Pasig ka di ba?" Juancho asked as we stepped out of The Brewery after Sheena's birthday celebration. He looked obviously drunk. So, no, thank you, I can't trust him with my life at that moment and I don't think that's a good idea at anytime either.

"No, thanks. Hindi ako sa Pasig uuwi." I said. "I'm staying somewhere closer to the airport. Pinahatid ko na mga gamit ko doon."

I had a few drinks but I never had too much alcohol that I can handle so I'm pretty sure I still had the plan intact.

"Hatid kita hanggang doon. Wala kang kotse." He said.

He can be really nice noh? Pero, no, thanks pa din.

"Hindi na. May sundo ako." I said, making sure I gave him a polite smile.

"Si Dean? Akala ko nasa Bulacan ngayon?"

"Hindi si Dean, si..."

"Uy!" Sheena exclaimed from behind us, also a bit drunk with a huge smile, a picture of a happy birthday girl. "Akala ko di ka pwede kasi maaga flight mo bukas..." She said then realizing what time it was, she corrected herself. "Mamaya pala."

I turned to where she was looking and saw you, in plain white shirt and jeans.

Dang it! Bakit ang hot?

You grinned and scratched the back of your head, you dimple dipping as your eyes met mine. My heart skipped a few beats and my cheeks felt like they were burning but I knew it wasn't the alcohol. It was you.

"Oo nga. Nakatulog naman na ako kanina. Nagising lang para magsundo." You answered Sheena but your smile was towards me.

"Aaah..." She grinned and gave me a meaningful look. "Okay. Gets ko na? Alangan namang ako ang sunduin? Alangan namang ikaw, Juanch." She giggled. "Beshie, ang sweet nitong friend mo ha?" She winked at me and held my arm.

"Oo nga." I chuckled, glancing at you and finding you staring at me.

"Birthday ko nga pala." She told you, noticing how we have kept our attention on each other since you arrived.

"Happy Birthday, Sheena." You smiled at her and shook her boyfriend's hand. "Nice seeing you again."

"Same,pare." He answered.

"Let's go? Para makatulog na. Maaga pa flight mo mamaya. Sasama pa ako maghatid tapos pa-Canada ako later na din." I told you and you nodded, stepping closer to me and taking my purse, your eyes fixed on my face.

"Wag ka na kaya maghatid. Sleep ka na lang." You said as you tucked my hair behind my ear.

"Okay lang. Mahaba ang flight ko, I can sleep the whole time." I smiled.

"Sweet talaga." Sheena giggled.

"Sige." I waved at them, remembering that we were still standing in the parking lot with our friends. I gave them brief hugs before stepping beside you again. "Happy Birthday ulit, besh." I smiled.

"Thank you. Ingat." She beamed.

"We will. Thank you." You smiled politely at her and turned to Juancho with a nod. "Sige, Tol. Ingat."

"Thanks. Sige." He nodded back.

You then took my hand in yours and firmly held it as we walked to your car.

"Obvious much? What happened to kunwari hindi tayo?" I whispered.

"We never said na tayo di ba? Friends give each other rides home di ba? Isn't that what he was asking you for?" You answered.

"He? Oh... akala ko non-issue na?" I asked.

"Hindi naman talaga. They can think we're friends just not the same friend as anyone else." You smirked and I giggled.

"Ay! Iba din." I laughed.

"Yung gamit mo pala. Nadala ko na sa isang condo." You smiled.

"Thank you." I smiled back and kissed your cheek just before you opened the door for me.

"Uy!" You grinned. "Nakatingin pa sila, bakit may pa-kiss?"

"They can think we're friends just not the same friends as anyone else, right?" I smirked.

"Absolutely." You grinned and kissed me briefly on the lips before closing the door.

I then saw you turn to our perplexed-looking friends and wave.

I love it when you make a statement and confuse everyone. So sexy.

"Gusto mo muna dumaan ng coffee?" You asked as soon as you got in the driver's seat and started the engine. "Driver mo ako ngayon. I can take you anywhere you want until the sun comes out."

"No. Uwi na tayo." I said as I placed a hand on your knee and slowly glided it up your thigh. Hearing your breath hitch, I smirked. I leaned closer to you and whispered in your ear. "I want to go for a ride."

"Yes, Maam." You grinned and wiggled your eyebrows.
