Fragmental Fondness

Chapter Eight

Ichigo

I look at her and have to smile
As we go driving for a while
Her hair blowing in the open window of my car
And as we go the traffic lights
Watch them glimmer in her eyes
In the darkness of the evening

And I've got all that I need
Right here in the passenger seat
Oh, and I can't keep my eyes on the road
Knowing that she's inches from me

That I've got all that I need
Right here in the passenger seat
Oh, and I can't keep my eyes on the road
Knowing that she's inches from me

She was really right here in my passenger seat and I can't keep my eyes on the road knowing that she was already sleeping. Her breathing was heavy, however she looked serene, probably really at peace now.

We had a very long day. She deserves a peaceful night.

She didn't even had the chance to hear the chorus of the song. She quickly dozed off and before I could even ask her what she likes to eat, she got her energy at its lowest.

Her head was dropping as I continued driving. She didn't locked her seatbelt good. Pagod na talaga.

I have to pulled the car at the side of the road. I did it just fine. I loosen up my seatbelt so I could lean on her freely and tighten her seatbelt on her body. It needs to have a firm grip so Therese head's won't fall. Para na rin makatulog siya nang maayos. I'm afraid though that her neck might stiffen. Kaya imbes na nakaupo siya. Inilipat ko siya sa backseat. Sakop niya ang buong espasyon ro'n. Makakahiga siya.

She murmured unclear phrases when I held her waist and tried lifting her with a total care.

I experienced bad. I even had the hardest time carrying her 'cause she often shifted her positions. Mabuti na lang patpatin siya. I don't know what might happen if she has a heavier weight.

I received a couple of text messages from Timothy. Kanina pa tapos ang programa sa bahay ampunan. But I still have to fetch him there and drive him home 'cause that moron has no car yet.

I've seen a drive thru. That girl backseat would surely ask for food when she wakes up. I should have something in hand to give on her.

While waiting. I really can't seem to stay still at my seat. I tend to glance at the backseat, check her out and see to it that she wasn't hurting herself by simply sleeping this deep.

She sang. Well, she really did before. I couldn't still believed it. The last time I've heard her singing voice was probably 11 years ago. When her mother and my Mom as well forced us to attend music class special. Therese liked it in there. She likes anything, anyway. She'd most likely to enjoy everything you'd make her do 'cause she strangely see things at its good side, all the time.

She utterly believed that all kinds of human nor things in this world, living and non-living has their own kind of beauty to adore and appreciate with.

Well, that's what I've knew years ago. It was long time and I couldn't tell now if it's still the same today.

People change. For good or bad? Still, people turned themselves based from what they've got into, from the struggles they had been experienced. Human believe that after battling against those struggles of life, you have to learned something from it and that'll be the passage where you could find  another version of you, the change.

"Here's your order Sir,"

"Thank you..."

I continued driving even my mind was still rolling somewhere.
