We were on the road an hour ago, and there were two more hours to go. The car is so nice, now that I'm looking at it. How can a student afford that? There was a soft song going through the stereo, I like it, plus with the silence it was really nice. Oh wait! It's Billie Eilish with her new single everything i wanted. In love with that song !"So, how was your day?" He tries to start a conversation.
"It was good, I guess. How about yours?"
"Not bad, the same like always."
It was so awkward. So I try to think about something else to talk about.
"So I was wondering, what's your Korean name?" I seriously was curious about his real name.
"Why? Are you interested?" He glanced at me.
"Ok if you don't wanna tell me it's cool too." Jeez what's up with his name, what's so mysterious about it?
"Try to find out, it'll be fun."
"No thanks."
I see a Tim Horton's from far, I wanted some cheese croissants and an ice coffee, so I tell him if he could stop by so I can go and get some goodies, he didn't mind. While I was paying, it occurred to me that he likes chips, so I went to the store beside Tim's to get some.
See, you're even buying him snacks.
Whatever. The guy at the cashier was a good looking black dude, he smiles at me as I approach him.
"Hey beauty, grabbing some late night snack?", he says as he scans the things.
"Probably." I respond with a genuine smile.
"Is it ok if I ask you for your number?"
I was about to reply when someone just throw a box of condoms and I receive a kiss on the side of my head, I jolt and look back. And there he was with a lollipop in his mouth.
"Babe we're gonna be late, what's taking you so long?" He was whining, he hugged me from behind and gave me that toddler face. I look back at the guy and give him an apologetic smile, while trying get the other one off of me.
All the good ones are always taken, I heard the guy say.
"That will be $7.56, how would you like to pay beautiful?" I felt Daniel pressing me more against him.
What was his deal damnit?
"I'll pay debit please." And I still smile at him still trying not to look at the box of condom.
"And you sir, how would you like to pay?" He asked Daniel.
"Credit."
We got back to the car, and I just look at him in disbelief. What the hell was he playing with? Acting up.
"What was that back there?" I start.
"He was flirting with you."
"So? He's allowed to."
"No, I didn't like it." He said as he try to buckle his seat belt.
"I'm not your girlfriend or anything like that. As far as I know."
"But you'd let me kiss you earlier." He turns to face me now.
I stay silent, knowing how right he was.
"You caught me off guard, and here," I hand him the bag of chips,"I just thought you might want some."
He holds my hand and pull me close in a quick move and whispers to my ear;
