After You [Completed Story]

CHAPTER 3

happy reading ^_^

"We're going on a trip in our favorite rocket ship,

Zooming through the sky, Little Einsteins,

Climb aboard, get ready to explore

There's so much to find, Little Einsteins,

We're going on a mission, start the countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, --"

"SHUT UP!"

Kanina pa ako nagtitimpi sa lalaking nakaupo sa backseat na walang ibang ginawa kundi kumanta nang kumanta. Kahit kagabi, parang may concert siya sa kanyang kwarto. Hindi ako nakatulog nang maayos sa sobra ingay niya! I am getting pissed already.

And now, he's like enjoying this 'trip' and more excited than me. We are going to a small province to find my family, not to have fun!

"Hey, I'm just singing okay? What's wrong with that?" V Roy raised his brow.

"You're too loud!" I blurted out.

"Stop it you two," saway sa amin ni Nico na siyang nagd-drive ngayon.

"Pagsabihan mo na lang yang katabi mo, Nico. It's a mind your own business here," sabi ni V Roy na halatang pinaririndigan ako.

"At ako pa talaga?!?" I gave V Roy a deadly glare.

"Bakit may iba pa ba ha?!?" he raised his voice at me inside my very own car.

"So inaamin mo nga na --"

"Oo, inaamin ko na gusto nga kita!" V Roy shouted making me stunned. What the hell?

Slowly, a playful smile appeared in his lips and started laughing so hard.

"Ayiieee, kinilig siya! Hahaha! Look, Lyrae you're blushing!" he pointed my cheeks.

Napaiwas ako ng tingin at saka umayos ng pagkakaupo sa passenger's seat. Did I just really blushed? I know he likes me but binigla niya na naman ako.

Dman Lyrae! Don't get swayed!

I decide not to talk anymore until we reach our destination. Baka ano na naman ang lumabas sa bibig ng lalaking nasa likod ko.

After hours of drive, we arrived at San Alfonso. Like Manila, it also has tall buildings and infrastructures. Mas marami nga lang ang puno or shall I say trees are still present everywhere. It's  an eco-friendly province.

"I prefer to stay at my grandmother's house," V Roy suggested. "Don't worry, she's hospitable enough to make the both of you comfortable."

We have no choice but to agree. It would be a less on our expense. V Roy volunteered to drive since we didn't know the way. Nico didn't even argued with him and because of that I unlocked my seatbelt to transfer in the back seat. Ayoko katabi si V.

"Hey, where are you going?" tanong nito.

"I want to sit beside, Nico. Is there a problem about that?" pagtataray ko.

Hindi na niya ako pinigilan pa kaya umalis na ako sa unahan at pumasok sa likod ng sasakyan. There I realized that Nico and I will have few inches from each other and it'll suffocate me again for sure. Heart is gonna beat faster. It's bad for me but somehow alright. hehe

Pagbukas ko ng pinto ng backseat, Nico wasn't there.

"Nico?" I called.

"Hhhm?" Nagulat ako sa biglang pagsulpot niya sa gilid ko hawak ang pinto ng passenger's seat.
