"Three strawberry frapp and three cookies." I punched the take outs.
I'm here at work now and it's eight o'clock in the evening.
"Zands, we’ll go first huh?" Claudette and Flora say goodbye.
"OK bye!"
After I got dressed, Andress approached me.
"You're going home?" he slung the backpack over his shoulder.
I nodded. "Yes."
Andress was kind. He was one of those who comforted me more yesterday when I cried.
Like me, he is also a working student.
Outside I was with Andress waiting for a taxi.
"So, are you okay now ?Why did you cry yesterday? "
“Nothing.” I winced because I couldn’t think of a reason.
His forehead furrowed as he looked at me. The night wind hit my skin.
He was about to speak but there was a violent brake on our front black SUV.
Andress and I were both shocked. My heart was pounding as it gradually sank into my brain as to who this SUV belongs to!
I almost backed away when the car glass window came down.
"Get in.." Damon commanded authoritatively to me while looking bady to Andres.
"Uh.." I turned to Andress.
"I'll be going." I said but I was shocked when the SUV suddenly started even though I was still talking ! As if he couldn't wait.
Damon's face was dark just staring at the road.
"Who's that?" His thick voice gave me shivered.
"My co-worker."
He licked his lips and nodded. His grip on the steering wheel seemed angry.
I was surprised to see that he had taken a different path that passed us by our house!
"Damon I'm going home.." I said immediately.
"Let's talk ." He said.
"We don't have anything to talk about." I said looking at the road.
"Let's talk.-"
"Talk about what?" I looked at him badly.
The car stopped in the dark on the side of the highway.
He immediately hit the steering wheel with excessive force.
I jumped in panic! He combed his hair with his fingers violently.
"I've been calling you! You're not answering! Then I'll just see you with that goddamn Ryle?"
What? Shit? Did he saw Ryle and me?
My tears rolled down my cheeks and I struggled to answer.
"You didn't call me Damon!" I almost shouted that."You don't have a call after a few days without a clue and you will show up today? And you have the guts to be mad at me? "
He closed his eyes firmly. His face became even more angry.
"I lost my phone, okay?" He cocked his head.
"We had a sudden outing abroad .I couldn't call anymore so I bought a new cellphone when I got home. Then I'll see you and Ryle? "
He turned out to be the unknown number who called me earlier!
"He accompanied me Damon." I said for a moment.
"Have you eaten?" He talked about something else.
"At home , I'll eat." Because I have no appetite.
His jaw tightened. He knew I was still angry. I’m not angry because of that. I was angry because I didn’t know what we were.
"If that's what you want."
Moments later we reached the house we were just quiet.
I immediately unbuckled the seatbelt to get stuck in order to get out.
But to my surprise, he picked up an expensive red flower with a note written on it in the backseat.
I took that. My heart pounded.
"For you.." He said and averted his eyes.
I gasped to suppress my grin. First time he gave me flowers!
I smelled it and read the letter there.
"I'M SORRY, BABY."
I bit my lip so hard and looked at him that was still badtrip and the look was in front.
"Uh .. Sorry too?" I bowed."Thank you for the flowers."
He’s still not looking at me. I took all the courage to squat and kiss him.
Just a kiss and I stopped. He looked at me seriously.
"I'm sorry." I tilted my head and would have kissed him again but he turned my stain and kissed me passionately.
I clung to him. I feel the eagerness of the gentle movement of his lips.
"I miss you .." He said.
"I missed you too.."
He chuckled.
I would have sat on his lap to make him more tender but he fixed me.
"Stay there, baby.He's mad right now.." He chucked.
My forehead furrowed.
"Huh? Who's mad?”
He just smiled.
I looked down at his lap and saw the scratch on the zipper of his pants. I realized what he meant.
"Get inside now."
When I entered the lights were off. Mom is asleep. I adjusted myself and lay down on the bed.
My cellphone rang with Damon's text.
From Damon: Still up?
To Damon: Yup.
His reply was quick. I will admit that I was thrilled to see the flower I put in the vase.
From Damon: You know what?
To Damon: What?
But instead of replying he called.
"Hello." My answer.
"I like you damn much now, Zandria .." He said huskily.
I almost exploded with my heart beating so fast.
"You .... are so, mine."
