Naka-park sa garahe ang isang bagong forest green Jimny Jeep kinabukasan. Bahagyang napatalula ako sa sasakyan. I would never admit it, but I always wanted a mini Jeep.

Ilang saglit na napatitig lang ako doon.

I guess this is what I get in return for sucking Leyton's thumb, huh? Agad na nag init ang mukha ko.

"What do you think? Do you like it?"

Lumingon ako para makita ang bahagyang nakangiting mukha ni Leyton. He genuinely looks pleased. Was it possible that he looks even more handsome today? He was wearing faded blue jeans with a white plain shirt while I was wearing a loose blue shirt tucked in my shorts and a pair of white sneakers.

Napatango nalang ako. He chuckled before dangling the key in my face.

"Let's test it," sabi niya bago pumunta sa pasenger seat ng sasakyan. "I want to see how well you drive."

"Sasamahan mo'ko?" di makapaniwalang tanong ko.

He raised his brow before opening the door and letting himself in. Agad na pumasok at umupo ako sa driver seat. The car smelled like fresh leather, I love it.

"Salamat sa sasakyan," nahihiyang sabi ko. I prayed he wouldn't bring up why he got me this.

He smiled knowingly, "Anything for my wife." He said, making me blush.

I drove while he commented on my driving skills making me grit my teeth in annoyance every time. Yes, I didn't have my own car but I've been driving our family car since I was eighteen. I know how to drive.

"I need to make sure you're capable of keeping yourself safe."

Natahimik ako matapos niyang sabihin 'yon nang na naiinis na sinagot ko siya matapos akong punahin sa paglipat ng lane.

His concern made me feel warm and I don't think I like it since I've sworn to hate the man for the rest of my life.

Sabay kaming pumasok sa bahay ng magulang ko pagkatapos kong e-park ang sasakyan.

There was no one at home. It's 10 am in the morning and my father goes to work at 8 am while my mother has a shifting schedule in the hospital. Pumunta rin si Karina sa campus para ayusin ang schedule niya. She's in her first year in college.

Sinundan ako ni Leyton hanggang sa kwarto ko.

He unceremoniously sat on my bed while I packed the things I considered important: some pictures, my school stuff, and some clothes.

Apparently, I didn't have to bring all my things because Silver filled more than half of my wardrobe closet with clothes and shoes. I can still remember the excitement on her face when she told me about it yesterday before Leyton drove her to their parent's house.

Sabay naming tiningnan ang laman ng walk in closet ko. I was surprised to learn that I loved everything she picked for me.

"I think I got carried away. I kind of got the gist of how you style yourself. I also added some twist and you know, some fancy dresses," aniya.

I thanked her and we spoke briefly before she went to the airport.

Leyton patiently waits and watches me as I finish packing.
