Chapter 22

I think I'm a little bit caught in the middle

Gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter

Yeah, I'm caught in the middle

I already paused the song playing on my earphones as I received Jexter's message

"Ma, Jexter's here." I said as I reached for my bag "Here, take these para may makain kayo habang nasa biyahe" she said as she handed me a paper bag.

As we went to our gate, Jexter was standing beside his camaro before he reached for the paper bag I was carrying "Good morning po" Bati niya kay mama bago siya nag mano "Mag iingat kayo sa biyahe and make sure to enjoy with your friends" my mother reminded us as we bid our goodbyes

It's been a week now since Nexon's birthday and we're now heading our for a Christmas vacation with the whole team

Jexter already placed my bag at the backseat. I already locked my seat belt before I glanced at him

"They're at the crossing already" he said as he reached for my cheek "You look great" I smiled as I told him "Of course, I have to" Jexter laughed as he already drove away from our street.

I slightly laughed as I realized that he's on his white-striped sweater and shorts

"Takot na takot mangitim?" I asked him as I giggled "Don't start with me, EJ. I'm still not used to seeing you dress like that" he said as he looked at my direction

Pinilit ako ni Mama na gamitin tong knee length white puffed sleeves dress with floral details dahil nang lumabas ako ng kwarto kanina ay naka high waist shorts at black crop top ako. Well I'm not used to see myself being dressed like this too

"You don't like it?"

Naka ngiting napa iling naman si Jex dahil sa tanong ko

"I love everything about you, remember that"

He said, making me blush.

I removed my rattan bag and placed it at my lap "Bakit natahimik ka?" Tanong pa ni Jex na parang nang aasar "Dude, don't start with me" pang gagaya ko sa sinabi niya kanina

After some few minutes of driving, Jexter already pulled the car towards the gasoline station here at the intersection. Ibinaba niya ang bintana nang makapag park siya sa gitna ng fortuner ni Dwight at hindi pamilyar na sasakyan kung nasaan sila Lauren

"Who's buddy is that?" I asked her pertaining to the ford everest "Mine! Gusto mong lumipat?"

Kyle shouted as he lowered down the window of the vehicle's driver seat

"Never mind, my driver's more handsome and better than you anyway"

I replied making him frown and the other guys from the backseat tease him with their laughs

"White attracts Estelle more than blue" dagdag naman ni Jexter habang tinutukoy ang kulay ng mga sasakyan nila. Jexter went out of his car as Dwight knocked on his camaro's hood "Morning" bati ko sa kanya mula sa bintana nang nag tungo siya side ko "Sef and Lauren will be riding with you, ilipat niyo nalang yung ibang gamit niyo sa sasakyan namin"
