Rapid fire- Santi.
We released ourselves and my mom said. "Aii I'm leaving you two and I'm going home."
I chuckled. "Mom don't be ridiculous...I came here so we could go home together."
She smirked. "You're not a child anymore Teresa."
Oh wow. My mum was really doing this just because she wanted Dylan and I to have some 'alone' time. I chuckled lightly. "My mom's so unbelievable right now."
"I like it." He started. "She makes things easier for me."
"Oh cut that crap." I hit his shoulder slightly and he giggled. "I'll take you home now cause, I have a meeting to attend with my father's guests."
"Of course....I'm actually tired. Need nothing but rest on my bed. It's calling my name."
He stretched out his hand for mine and I gave in thinking that he was going to walk me to his car but, I was astonished when we stopped at his bike just outside the hotel. That was a prohibited place to park but you can't tell your boss where to park if you don't want to get your ass sacked.
Then, I thought for a moment. "Your dad travelled or something?"
"Yeah my dad went on a trip so, I have to be the one to take care of things now."
"Well, I can learn how to ride a motorbike but I've never tried one."
He heaved. "No Teresa, I'm gonna take you home." He took out one of the helmets and used his hand to caress my hair gently.
"I was thinking that you'd have to be around the vicinity since, you're taking care of things in absence of your dad."
He cleared his throat. "Don't worry about that...Baldwin can take care of all that."
Carefully, he wore the helmet for me and I said. "I'm definitely not the first girl you're doing this for....you did it so perfectly."
He laughed. "I did it carefully and perfectly because that's all what a doctor's job is about."
I nodded. "Yeah right."
He put on his helmet and tried to help me get on the bike but, I refused. I mean, I can do that myself. After everything, we were both on the bike and he told me that I should wrap my arms around his waist and lean on him.
Actually....
I didn't object this one cause I was even going to be cold when the breeze from the ride should whip my skin. I got out of water not really long ago, now a bike ride. Haha. A cold was the next thing coming for me.
As he started the engine, my eyes fell on a banner hanging just beside the main building of the hotel which said.
VOTE EDWIN FOR MAYOR!
"Your dad's also campaigning for Edwin."
He chuckled. "Yeah...they're fucking best friends. A win for Edwin is a win for my dad and vice versa." The bike began to move and Dylan started shouting so, I could hear him. "They've been friends since their college days. I don't understand their bond but it's very tight."
Then I pried into what wasn't my business. "What of his son?"
"Who?"
"His son?" I increased my voice so he could hear cause the bike was moving so fast.
"Well, I don't have much to say about that." He said and I remembered Bran immediately. How we jumped that cliff and screamed like what I couldn't explain. It really put a smile across my face.
"You know what Dylan..."
"Yeah?"
"Life is fucking short. We just have to live and enjoy it while it lasts."
"Okay? Why're you saying this?"
"Cause I'm gonna let go."
"Huh?" His confusion made me giggle a bit. Then, I let go of his waist, rose my hands up in the air and shouted. "Woohoo!!!"
Dylan laughed. "I love this energy!"
"I love it too!"
He said something else but, I didn't hear the words. I just laughed as we continued to travel to my house till, we stopped right in front of it. It was more like a long straight road from the hotel to my house so, I didn't have to explain a lot.
We got down from the bike and I said. "I enjoyed the ride...thank you."
Then, he frowned at my forearm and I looked at it also wondering why he stared so hard at it. Then, I realised that the woman left some of her dirt on me when she held me. I moved my hand behind me in embarrassment. "I got harassed by an old lady today."
"How? Where?"
"Bus station...it was like she wanted to say something to me but brought out a knife and asked if I wanted to die...." I heaved. "That shit was damn confusing."
Then, he held the particular hand that had those dirt stains and he chuckled. "You didn't even realize that she left these on you."
I shook my head. "Nah....I just wanted to know why exactly that happened."
He got off the bike and stepped closer to me. "Things like this happen often in public places....so, don't stress yourself thinking about some random experience. Just get a shower and rest on that bed that has been screaming your name." He said slowly and I chuckled.
Before I could say anything else, I felt his soft lips on mine as he picked my lower lip and kissed me slowly. It wasn't for a long period of time...just few breathtaking seconds.
"Goodnight." He whispered into my lips and I smiled. "Night."
This is coming super late and I'm sorry. Make that little star below shine bright like a diamond in Rihanna's voice. Lmaoo.
