Escapade

Dane's POV

"Ano ba naman 'yan Elaine, akala ko ba tapos ka ng mag impake kagabi? Bat parang back to zero na naman 'yan?" inis kong sabi sa kanya. Ke aga aga nabubungangaan ko na naman tong babaitang to. 3:45AM na at patuloy pa rin niyang hinahalungkat ang bag niya.

"Kasi naman ateng, 'di ko makita ang red two-piece ko." naiiyak niyang sabi.

"Pastilan mani siyang bayhana uy, diba nilagay mo 'yun sa backpack mo." sabi ko kasi malapit na kaming ma-late.

"Ayy hala oo. Halaaa salamat ateng, savior ka talaga." sabi niya sabay yakap sa'kin.

"Sige na, ibalik mo na 'yang mga gamit mo sa bag mo at late na tayo." pag-irap kong sabi sa kanya.

"Aye aye, captain." masigla niyang sagot at agad binalik ang mga gamit niya sa bag niya.

Nakalabas kami sa apartment at exactly 4:15AM. Patay na, baka iniwan na kami. 'Wag naman sana, sayang ang libre huhuhu

Dali-dali naming nilakad ang landas papuntang opisina at nabuhayan naman ang aking loob ng makitang may dalawang Van na nakaparada sa labas. Haaaay thank you talaga Lord, ambait bait Niyo po.

"Antagal tagal niyo naman. Kayo nalang kaya ang hinihintay." sabi ni Jen.

"Eh eto kasing si Elaine, ang arte arte may padrama drama pang nalalaman." sabi ko

"Dane ... " sambit ng kung sino.

Napalingon naman ako at nabigla nalang ako ng bigla niya akong yakapin.

"I thought you would not come." agad naman niyang pinutol ang pagyakap sakin. Syempre, shookira po ang lola niyo.

"Ah haha nukaba naman sir, syempre libre 'to. Bawal palagpasin."pagbibiro ko para maiba ang atmosphere kasi 'di lang ako ang nashookt sa payakap ni mayor.

"Yeah, good to hear." nakangiti niyang sabi.

"Ay Dane, Elaine puno na kasi ang dalawang Van eh. Nagkulang ang pag estimate nila Gina kaya sabi nila if okay lang magcocommute kayo papuntang La Union." sabi ni Macky.

"No need, they can accompany me. Lets go!" sabi ni Sir Edrake.

"Ho Sir?-"

"Wag kanang maarte, halika na." hinila na ako ni Elaine at nginitian naman ako ni Sir Edrake. Bat ngiti ngiti to palagi, endorser ba to ng listerine?

Binitawan naman ni Elaine ang paghila sakin atsaka kinuha ang mga bag ko. Di naman ako nakaangal kasi parang miyembro ata to ng salisi gang eh. Agad siyang tumungo sa backseat at inilagay lahat ng aming gamit sa upuan at ng matapos siya ay umupo na siya't akmang isasara ang pinto ng pigilan ko.

"Sorry, puno na. Kita mo naman 'yan diba?" Nakangisi niyang sabi.

"Elaine, 'wag mokong pagtrippan ngayong araw please. Quotang quota ka na ah." mahina pero may diin na sabi ko sa kanya pero 'di naman nakinig ang gaga at tuluyan nang sinara ang pinto ng backseat.

"You can sit on the passenger side." alok ni Sir Edrake.

Ano pa bang magagawa ko. Talaga tong Elaine na 'to. Tatamaan 'to mamaya. Pumasok nako agad agad at ganun rin ang ginawa ni Sir Edrake at inumpisahan ng paandarin ang sasakyan niya.

Nag convoy lang kami sa naunang dalawang van at tinuon ko naman ang atensyon ko sa phone ko. Ang awkward kasi lalo na't nasa tabi ko lang si Sir Edrake.

Inabot niya naman ang stereo ng sasakyan at pinindot ang play sa music doon.
( play the music above ☝)

🎶
We dance around the pavement
We move our feet to feel the beat, oh
We forget the sadness
Give into forgiveness
While we are young
While we are young

We try to go far places
We drive along our biggest dreams
When we take a million chances, oh oh
While we are young
While we are young

Whoa
Just take control
Let yourself go
Go with the flow
Get ready for the show

Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa
Lead the way,
Oh While we are young
While we are young
🎶

Ang ganda ng kanta. Saktong sakto sa byahe naman ngayon, parang roadtrip lang eh. Napapasabay ang paggalaw ko sa kanta kasi ang ganda talaga at pangiti ngiti akong nakatanaw sa bintana ng sasakyan.

Edrake's POV

It's a nice sight to see that she's enjoying the music. I really researched those nice music that is applicable for roadtrips like this, and I can see that my effort is worth it.

Don't get me wrong. I'm just happy when I am with Dane. She's like a ball of positivity and optimism that once you are with her, you will surely acquire her sunshine. I don't know but whenever I am with her, I feel relaxed and safe and comfortable. Maybe it's her personality that gets into me.

Three hours of driving, we arrived at the stop over going to La Union. It's already 7AM and we are about to eat our breakfast before continuing to take the road. Dane and Elaine immediately goes inside the resto while I am still here in the car because dad send me a message that I should be careful in driving. Well, dad is dad. I hope he'll immediately get me out of here. After I replied, I immediately followed them and ate my breakfast.

The hall is filled by mostly us so they are care-free in chitchatting and laughing. Of course, Dane is the highlight of this one. I smiled.

"Sir, diba po ang ganda ni Dane?" Gina asked.

"Huy nabuang naman ni siya uy, magsisinungaling 'yan-" she commented.

"Yeah, of course she's beautiful." I immediately cut her.

She bows her head, I know shes blushing. And I can't help but smile. The teased us especially Dane because she's way too obvious that she cant handle the situation.

"Alright, thats enough guys. We need to go back and continue our trip." I commanded and they immediately followed my instruction.

Elaine and her friends continuously teased Dane as they go out of the resto.

This girl is really something. I smiled.
