I don’t know what to say. I also don't know what to do. He looks angry. His manner changed immediately because of Ryle's call.
What could Ryle have said? Why was he called? I couldn't touch my cellphone because it was on the dashboard.
Is he angry? He hasn't even glanced at me since he answered my phone. Why is that?
Nervous, because this is my first time to have a date.
I am so far content, that the interaction of the two of us has been smooth compared to the previous days.
"Uh... Where are we going?" I finally dared to ask.
"Tagaytay." His answer was short.
Huh? It’s so far from here!
I gasped softly. In the end I just chose to keep quiet. I can't do anything anymore.
His tattoo on his hand and arm really makes me cringe sometimes.
He looks like boisterous.
You will be really scared and intimidated by him.
Of the Montemayor cousins, Damon is the hardest to read and he is also the most barbaric.
Then, I always heard that he was involved in some troubles before. But now it doesn't seem to be.
"Ryle courting you?" I was brought back to my senses when he spoke. I looked at him.
I looked away.
"No, he's my friend, we've only been friend since high school."
He still thinks and his eyes on the road.
He immediately fell silent. Before we headed straight we went through a drive thru.
He bought some food, there and drinks.
I don't know where in Tagaytay he will take me. I haven't been there yet.
As I waited for him I immediately picked up my cellphone on the dashboard.
Ruru and Ryle have texts there. I read Ru's first.
From Ruru: Good morning, are you coming later?
Probably not. I know Damon and I will spend the night . Tagaytay is far.
Next I read Ryle's.
From Ryle: Hey! I didn't know you had a boyfriend. I was going to invite you on a date. I think, I'm late.
"Who's that?"
I was horrified because I didn't even feel Damon is here!
I immediately hid my cellphone. I could see his gaze following my hand that hid the cellphone behind my back, to make it clear, behind my ass.
He finally entered the car . I immediately became cold with nervousness. Here is my heart again. I was so beaten up that I could hardly breathe properly.
"Give me your phone." He uttered.
What the hell! Is he like that? If you're together, cell phones are not allowed?
I bit my lip and I gave it to him. My hand was still shaking.
His eyebrows met and his jaw tightened.
Seriously? I feel like it's really hard for him to get along. But I will endure as long as he is with me.
I accept everything from him and will accept the next things I will know about him.
He returned my cellphone to the dashboard.
"He's hitting on you obviously." He said the car was running.
I breathe slowly. I don't want to ruin our moment now.
"I don't know. I really think of him as just a friend."
"You just have to.." he said.
I Looked at him. I don't really get him. Before he almost ignored me and threw the cookies I brought to him but now he suddenly changed
I also know why I do this.
Simple, I love him.
I think I'm crazy.
I didn't know that I had fallen asleep.
I was just stunned when I felt someone caressing my cheek.
I was leaning against the windshield and Damon kissed my cheek.
It's embarrassing, I might have been snoozing earlier!
I immediately looked at him.
"Are we here yet?" I asked softly.
He nodded. He fix some hair on my face.
"Sleepy?" He huskily asked.
I immediately shook my head.
"Not anymore" I looked outside . We are here on the high side. Where I can see the huge white mansions in Tagaytay.
I looked at a mountain on the side.
I saw a tree house!
My eyes widened. A tree house above a big tree. It's clean and looks so beautiful!
It's a bit bigger. The ladder to the top surrounds the trunk of the tree itself. Obviously durable natural wood is used to make it.
The treehouse is made of natural wood. Beneath it is a large wooden table and a wooden bench as well.
All natural. It is surrounded by a huge tree so it is not hot because it is shielded from the heat of the sun.
There are also a variety of flowers around that I know aren’t just random.
Below is a view of the whole of Tagaytay.
I was amazed.
"Wow ! It's beautiful.." I said in amazement.
He chuckled.
"You want to be here again?"
I felt him loosen my seatbelt.
I nodded. "Is this yours?"
He nodded.
He came out and opened the door for me. The fresh air hit me.
"Nice.." I giggled.
He was shocked to see my reaction.He looks so amused.
He go to the backseat and have taken boxes that I think are food.
"What's that?" So far I have become comfortable that I can talk to him.
It's really relaxing. Especially the fresh ambiance of the air here.
The wind blows my hair. I can only hear the wind blowing and birds chirping. Vehicles are also infrequent.
"Food, I'll grill the fish. It's ready. We'll just cook." He answered and lifted those two boxes.
The contents of a box are drinks and other food.
Great! I think we'll have a picnic here.
