You're Still Mine

Chapter 32

1:45 am

After couple of hours on the road they all decided to take a pit stop. Amy saw a Filipino restaurant and invited everyone to join her.

"Amy, ang usapan natin snacks lang, ikaw naman nag restaurant ka pa." Joey.

"Hayaan niyo na, nagugutom nadin ako, hindi pa ako kumakain simula kagabi." Anjo.

Everyone did ordered their food and waited for a minute before it was served.

"Ay sandali, hindi pa pala natin masyadong kilala itong boyfriend ni Dawn." Amy said.

"Sabi ko nga kanina I'm Rowell." He answered. "Actually gusto ko lang din kayo makilala kaya sumama ako kay Dawn. I hope okay lang sa inyo."

"Nako walang problema." Joey teasingly smiled at him. "Ano palang trabaho mo?"

"Restaurant and Bar owner ako ng RS Resto Bar. I also helped Dawn sa clothing line nila."

"Ah so marunong ka din mag luto?" Amy asked him.

"Oo naman, doon ko nga nakuha si Dawn." Rowell joked them.

"Nako kumain na tayo." Dawn changed their topic.

Everyone was enjoying their food, Rowell started to feel comfortable with Amy and Andy. But Joey and Anjo were still getting to know him. Everyone was having their own separate conversation again. But Richard remained silent.

"Dawn, ang sarap nung kare kare nila. You should try it." Rowell said and hand her the plate.

"Thank you, pero busog na ako." She answered.

"Sige na try mo lang." He said and get a spoonful.

"Busog na 'ko Rowell." She refused.

"Isang tikim lang please."

"Huwag!" Richard shouted catching everyone's attention. "Hindi pwede sa kanya yan. May peanut yan. Allergic siya doon, hindi mo ba alam?"

"Nako, I'm sorry Dawn. Hindi ko alam." Rowell apologized to her.

"Okay lang. Hindi ko pala nabanggit sayo yan. Akala ko na wala na eh, kasi matagal na yun." Dawn replied.

"Boyfriend ka ba talaga? Ipapahamak mo pa si Dawn!" Richard said with his angry tone.

"Bingi ka ba? Hindi ko nga sinasadya. Hindi ko naman alam na allergic siya jan."

"Okay! Tama na! Whooo ang init!" Alice stopped the tension between the two. "Oh ito, Dawny, Andy, painumin niyo ng water yang mga partner niyo at ang iinit ng ulo."

"Tama na yan ha, nandito tayo to enjoy!" Amy said trying to calm the two.

They've finished their meal and head outside.

"Anjo! Pa-sub ako, ikaw naman mag drive." Richard said.

Anjo nods at him, then Rowell joined them.

"Ako na lang kaya mag drive." Rowell offered, he turned to Dawn and asked her, "okay lang ba?"

Dawn was just about to say something when Joey signaled Anjo, "Sige pre halika na sa harap. Okay lang naman sayo Dawn diba?"

Dawn just nod at them as she saw Anjo pulled Rowell inside the van. Rowell was seating at the driver's seat while Anjo was in his side.

Everyone else got in also, Dawn was seating with Alice in the first row. Amy was with Andy on the second. Richard and Joey at the back.
