Julie started flaring up his machine's speaker and she started playing Kiss You by One Direction. Elmo gave her some glance, not really sure what to react.
"What? One D's fine right? Tsaka I want this ride to be sweet and fun and light." She smiled, still looking on the road. She's too frightened to break her gaze on it since she's driving a not-so-ordinary car.
"Well if you insist." He shrugged.
Julie began singing the song, with her shoulders bouncing while driving. Elmo started joining her sa chorus part.
Duet: So tell me, girl, if every time we t-o-ouch
You get this kind of ru-u-ush
Baby, say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
They're both doing some weird movements and swaying and pounding, both letting out soft chuckles. Para silang timang sa ginagawa nila while singing, but who cares? Sila lang naman nakakakita sa isa't isa and they've had more embarrassing moments together than this silly car jamming.
If you don't wanna take it slow
And you just wanna take me home
Baby, say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And let me kiss you
Julie continued singing, still doing some funny movements while driving. May time na yung right hand niya hahaplos sa pisngi ni Elmo, making him grin. May times din na kunwari ididikit niya yung right hand niya sa may left leg ni Elmo making him want more tapos tatawa siya dahil mukhang bitin ito.
They're in the middle of laughing when Julie's phone vibrated.
Kuya Max Calling
Bigla siyang nakaramdam ng weird na feeling. Kuya Max seldom call her. In fact he has not called her since they were introduced back then. Ngayon lang siya tinawagan nito so she's somehow feeling weird and kind of nervous.
She answered the phone, ni-loudspeaker niya.
"Hello po ma'am Julie. Sinusundan ho kayo nung itim na SUV." Kuya Max said.
"Ano po? Paano niyo po nalaman? Baka parehas lang po tayo ng tinatahak."
"Ma'am nakita po ni Isko na may dala siyang camera tapos gagamitin niya iyon kapag nakakalapit sa inyo."
"Ha? Paano niyo naman po nasabi?"
"May binoculars po kami." Julie was shocked at what kuya Max said, now looking at Elmo. Hindi na sila pwedeng tumigil dahil baka maabutan sila nito.
Julie is now worried so Elmo asked her to calm down.
"Hey babe, chill okay? It's not like that person's carrying a gun or will try to kill us. Iligaw na lang natin siya."
"But Moe, hindi ka sure diyan. What if that person's too dangerous?" She's still keeping her eyes on the road, but now nervous than ever.
"Trust me, maybe isa lang siyang paparazzi who happens to be nearby tapos nakita tayo. Come on Juls, pull yourself together."
"Moe natatakot ako. What if..."
"Shhh...Sige na, I'll guide you." He said.
"Okay medyo bilisan mo ng konti. I'm sure kaya niyang maka-keep up but mas maganda na yung medyo malayo tayo sa kanya." Julie quickly did what Elmo said, and sped up their run. Still nervous at parang mahihimatay na. Shit Julie umayos ka, hinid ka pwedeng mag-inarte ngayon, she thought.
