Crossed Paths Accidentally On Purpose

Chapter 13

Zepahniah's POV

That night I didn't have enough sleep because Darel is driving me crazy! Where does his guts coming from? Really, he literally asked my mom's permission to take me out on a date without asking if I want to go with him. 

I've been lying on my bed the whole day pretending to be sick when I checked the alarm clock beside me, I stand up immediately and run straight to the bathroom. I stayed there for a few minutes realizing that bathroom isn't the right place for me to be emotional because we don't have shower so I can't say that I'm crying while the water from the shower is running down from my face to all over my body after laughing at my own joke I grabbed the bath dipper and pour the water to myself, I hugged myself when I felt the water is too cold but since we don't have a heater I'm already used to showering a cold water.

Right after I finished taking a bath I put my clothes on and dry my hair using a towel. Thinking if I should go with Darel tonight, since he said that we won't be alone because his friend is joining us, I guess there's nothing to worry about because I don't have to be alone with him but still there is something in me saying that I don't want to go geez!

"Zephaniah, gising ka na ba?" right after I heard my mom's voice I run to my bed and cover a blanket so she'll believe that I'm still asleep. I didn't answer so she went inside my room and checked if I am asleep when she saw me sleeping, she sat beside me and tried waking me up "nay masama po pakiramdam ko" I reasoned out because I haven't made a decision yet, if I'm going or not. I have to fake my sleep because if I didn't, she'll probably force me to go on a date with Darel and I'll have no choice but to just to go with him. I stayed like that until I heard the door closing a sign that she already left, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

Hours passed and I'm still here walking around inside this small room of mine still haven't decided what to do, so when the clock strikes 10 my heart started to race so fast not because of excitement but because of nervousness. I entered bathroom to take a quick shower again. I made up my mind to go with him tonight to forget all about the thing I've been thinking maybe it's a sign that I should rest and accept Darel in my life because he's trying hard to be part of me, after thinking. I didn't even noticed that I'm already done taking a bath so I searched for a clothes that I'm going to wear, fortunately ate Mickella loves to buy and give me lots of clothes, bags, shoes, and accessories so I really don't have to worry what to wear in times like this that's what I thought, cause I still had a hard time choosing what to wear because they are all look fabulous so I end up wearing a white off shoulder matching pink faux suede above knee length with a pear of black thigh-high suede boots. I was about to grab my glasses when my phone rang so, my attention was turned to my phone "are you done? I'm at your sala waiting for you" Darel said at the other line. I just told him that I'm coming down and ended the call, when I am near at the stairs, I almost forgot about my I glasses "shoot! My glasess" I whispered to myself and have to half run walk so Darel won't have to wait for more minute. As soon as I entered the room I grabbed my glasses and walk out of the room and tell mom that we had to go so she don't have to remind about something weird stuff I shouldn't do.

Darel open the door of shot gun seat for me, he walks back to the driver's seat. While we are on our way to the house of his friend's house where the party is gathered. I let my hair down and fixed it for a bit "did you dye you hair?" what? Did he just noticed it now? Is he blind or something? "nope, it's natural. Why did you ask it now? Why not when we're practicing the dance steps or while eating at the cafeteria? Did you just realize that it has a color?" I laughed slightly so it wouldn't sound like I'm mad or irritated. He shook his head and answer "you never let your hair down before it was just my first time seeing it free from a pony tail because your hair is always a messy bun look" I nodded and looked at the window enjoying the night view of the city.
