Mayer Murphy
It's a debilitating day, It drained my whole energy for this week, and Its only Tuesday! the second day of this week.
"What time is it?" He asked me inquisitively while driving in his Black Toyota Vios alongside with me in the passenger seat.
As I heard him asking me a question I attentively get my phone in my bag on the back passenger seat then I showed it to him displaying the time, "Its, 3:30 pm, I'm really exhausted, I can already feel my body giving up due to endless running instructions by Evil Amy" I wrathfully vent out to him.
He only responded a smirk with his same old irritating face looking directly to my eyes. He always teases me with this kind of gesture, in my viewpoint he irritates me, and it's unbearably awkward.
"Can you please stop doing that to me? You're driving me crazy! That's a big No! Jacob!" I angrily reacted to his expressions.
While we're stuck in the middle of traffic, I quickly connect my phone to his automobile and played Lover Boy by Phum Viphruit. This song is one of my all-time favorites, it has this vibe where I found my feet stomping and headbanging along with the beat, the best way to fight boredom in situations like this.
And then suddenly I noticed Jacob is looking at me while I am dancing to the beat, He continued to tease me by grinning wickedly.
"What an awful music taste" he frankly told me.
"Hey the road is in front of you, not in my direction! Don't make any comments about my music taste Clapper" I viciously responded
Jacob snatched my phone to me, and he then searched BeeGess playlist and played Too much heaven
As the music plays inside the car, both of us immediately became muted, leaving the speaker to do its job. Jacob is seriously driving and I am busy worrying about the paper works that needed to be pass before the deadline said by Professor John.
"Oh you and me
Got a lot of love in store
And it flows through you
And it flows through me
And I love you so much more
Then my life..."
"Hey Mayer, Listen to its message and feel it" he passionately verbalize it to me while looking directly to my eyes. He is not good in words, I knew him for every bit of his life and his actions surprised me that I never knew he would be like this, I am astounded by him and also by the music playing inside the car...
"I can see beyond forever
Everything we are will never die
Loving's such a beautiful thing
Oh you make my world... A summer day"
"Do you feel it? " he asked me with a glance while driving
As I stare to his ravishing features, thinking about what to respond to his question.
Everything seems to be weird, As I directly look into his eyes, the cars beside us suddenly become slow, our speed also feels sluggish in my standpoint, It's like the Earth's revolution are slower for a moment as I deeply fell into his shallow heart and soul through his expressive emerald eyes.
"Nobody gets too much heaven no more
It's much harder to come by
I'm waiting inline
Nobody gets too much love anymore
It's as high as a mountain
And harder to climb
Are you just a dream to fade away"
We suddenly stop because the traffic light went red, as we wait for ninety-five seconds, He looked at me and asked me again while beaming a smile "Mayer you didn't answer me, Do you feel what I feel in the music? Have you felt in love?"
The moment he told me those words, our eyes suddenly met that made my whole circulatory system pumping rapidly. I felt connected to him, His thick brows, pleasing eyes, plump lips that has the world's most beautiful Cupid's bow weakened me mentally. I don't have any idea or reason behind this sensation I am feeling, But the man beside me is making me nuts that made me question my whole sexuality.
"Sometimes you don't need to understand music, you just need to feel it" he added, that made me speechless, I close my eyes and let my heart and brain enjoy this moment.
BeeGees songs continued to play until we're nearly home, His playlist removed all the negativity and self-doubts I've had had for a month now. It cleansed my mind and lighten up the blues I felt.
My Parents always play this kind of song every Sunday morning, it became a tradition to our house and I don't buy it, but at this moment Jacob introduces me to a new perspective in music that I never knew that my egoistic mind will digest.
The music stopped momentarily, allowing me to look at the window to avoid the awkwardness inside the car. I can feel my ears and cheeks are getting red, good thing that I immediately looked away from him. This unfavorable ambiance stayed until we're already outside the house.
"Jacob Come! Moms waiting for you, You've promised to me that you'll come by for dinner!" I enthusiastically told him while getting my things in the back compartment.
As he helps me with my things I saw my older brother and Dad sitting in the balcony
"IM HOME!!!" I annoying shouted to them to get their attention as they've seem to be unbothered and focused on their chess game.
They both replied with a glance and a nod to both of us
"Good Evening Mr. Murphy! Hey Ashton!" Jacob blissfully greeted Dad and Ashton
A loud vibration can be seen in Jacob's pocket as his phone lightens up, somebody is trying to reach out to him.
As I get my things from him, I can see his euphoric mood suddenly shifted to tension and uneasiness, I'm worried by his expression, I want to console him but ...
"Sorry, but I need to get home quickly, I'll be catching up soon" He breathlessly fled without waiting for our response.
He left us with a question, What happened to Jacob that made his tears fall into his cheeks?
