Chapter 40
1131 code entered!
I'm here today in front of Drake's unit because it's the weekend and weekend is Drake and Alys' day!
My first week at Brent is over. It's tiring! Add to that the fact that Tripp always teases me. That bully! I don't have a choice because I don't have anyone else close to Brent. Everyone there just avoids... me. What's wrong with me?? It's really weird! Especially the girls, they seem like they want to kill me just by looking at me.
It took Drake a long time to come out. I've been standing here for a while!
"Look who's here," someone spoke next to me, making me look up.
I just looked at him. I forgot that Pugits is Drake's twin!!
"Why not," I said and then raised my head. Psychology says that whoever looks down first is the loser. Even if I have a stiff neck, I won't let myself lose!!
He raised an eyebrow at me, "what are you? Drake's groupie?" He said with a maarte accent. It's annoying!!
I crossed my arms, "I'm not a groupie!" I said even though I didn't know what that meant. It sounded offensive!! "I'm his girlfriend!"
He suddenly laughed. It's annoying!!
Is there anything funny about what I said?? Is it funny that I'm Drake's girlfriend?? What's wrong with this octopus??
She wiped her tears because she was crying from laughter, "sorry for the reaction but you're really funny," then she took wipes from her purse, "who are you, again?"
Take a deep breath, Alys.
I smiled at her then extended my hand, "Alys Perez."
He smiled at me too and then said, "nice to meet you, Alys. Oh, sorry but I don't shake random stranger's hand. Don't get offended, though."
Breathe, calm down. WHY DID DRAKE TAKE SO LONG TO OPEN THE DOOR???
I lowered my hand after she said that. Why has this woman, who we've known for less than a week, already managed to make it to the priority list of my hate list??
"What are you doing here anyway?"
"Drake and I have a date."
Huh! Beat that pulp, octopus!!
"Again, stop daydreaming. Date isn't Drake's thing."
"Well, now it's his thing," I said. My English speaking skills are showing off to this girl!
Come on, Drake! What have you been doing all this time you've been out! I don't want to talk to your wife "wannabe"!! I'm so annoyed, I'll get her number for situations like this!
Finally he came out.
"Good morning, Drake," said Octopus. Wow! You beat me to it!
Drake just looked at him and then looked at me, "why are you here?"
Hehehe. I'm thrilled. He talked to me!!
"We have a date today, right?"
He looked at me as if I had grown an extra head, "I messaged you on Facebook," I said so he would remember. He didn't like me posting on his wall. He said it was disgusting. I tried but he deleted me. -_- It was just a simple I miss you. Arte arte!
He thought for a moment and then said, "ah."
"Are we leaving?"
He opened the door and then shrugged, "give me a minute." I went in and looked at Shaira who was totally forgotten and ignored by Drake. Muahaha! I told you so. Date is our thing!
He took a shower first and then I wandered around his condo. It's a good thing mommy and daddy allowed me to come here. We're not going to do anything weird!! Drake just try to think of something weird so he can see my flying punch!!
I went to his study table. -_- He's so dizzy with books. Hmmm. It seems like this is what Tripp is studying too. Tss. I remember that Tripp and Marco again!! He always makes me pay when we go to the Coffee shop. You'd think his wallet was mine. What a thick face!!
Suddenly my рhопе гang.
Tripp
calling...
Should I answer or not??
Hahaha
"What?"
("Good morning din, Alys.")
"Tss. What else do you need??"
("I need a date tomorrow.")
"I'm busy. Bye."
("Awful, after defending you from those who criticized you?")
"What a trick!! That's blackmail!!"
("Okay, please? I just really need someone to go with me tomorrow.")
"Do you know that?"
("There's an art exhibit in QC tomorrow. Come with me?")
"Don't you have any other friends?"
("Nothing. Just you. Okay?")
-_- Why was I born with a kind heart??
"Fine, pick me up tomorrow. All expenses paid. Bye."
I turned off my phone so that no one would disturb Drake and me. It's our day! No bullies in Brent, no curfew at home courtesy of mommy, no bully Tripp Marco! Just Drake and Alys. And love. Hehehehe.
After a couple of minutes, Drake came out. My boyfriend is really hot haha. Good thing I'm cute!!
"Tss."
"What else have I done to you??"
"You're staring. It's creepy."
"Hehehe. You're so stupid."
"Tss. You're dating me because of my face. Wicked Alys."
I approached him and adjusted his collar (feels like his wife), "of course it's just a freebie. I like you because... I like you. Need I say more?"
He gave a half smile then he patted my head, "tss. Let's go?" I nodded then I walked towards the door of his condo but I saw that he didn't follow so I asked him, "I thought we were leaving?"
He extended his hand.
"Ha?"
"Hold mv hand."
"H-ha?"
"You told me I lack affection. Here, hold my hand."
*wild palpitation spotted*
Lord, what did I do to make me feel so bad??
I slowly approached her and then held her hand. Way to go, Alys! Next, intertwined fingers are my goal!!
We walked out the door holding hands. What date is it today?? I need to put this on my calendar! Today is the first time we held hands. I'm so excited!!
I'm sorry, I'm--- "Hi, Drake. Mind if I join you?"
I retract my statement. I'M NOT HAPPY BECAUSE PUGITA WANTED TO SAY ON MY FIRST DATE WITH DRAKE!
Drake didn't answer him and just looked at him. I was blushing with annoyance. Pugita looked at me, "you wouldn't mind, right? I am really bored in there," she said while pointing to her unit next to Drake's. My debut is coming soon, can I ask Daddy to just buy the unit to Drake's left?? Oh, the three of us will be a happy neighborhood!!!
I was about to answer when he suddenly interrupted, "silence means yes, right? Yey!" Then he grabbed Drake's arm, which I hadn't even managed to grab yet!!
"So, where are we going?"
"To hell. Are you with me?" I whispered.
"Excuse me, were you saying anything?" sabi niya.
I just shook my head and smiled. Why am I such a good person?? Why didn't my parents raise me to be a bad child??
We were quiet, rather Drake and I, as we rode down the elevator. Shaira had been babbling to the point that she was enjoying being dropped from the 19th floor to the ground floor. Of course, that was just a joke because I'm not a morbid person.
We went to the parking space to go to Drake's car. Of course, I wouldn't let my personality be trampled on anymore so I immediately got into the shotgun seat!! That's my girlfriend's seat that Octopus can't take away from me!!
When we were all on board, Drake spoke, "Shaira, could you please check if the tire's flat?"
Shaira smiled and then went out. Why did Drake order her?? Can't I?? I can also check for flat tires!!!
When Shaira got out, Drake suddenly started the car and left Shaira screaming in the parking space??
"Shaira was left behind!" I said while looking in the side mirror and seeing Shaira looking like a child having a tantrum.
"She's annoying," he said while driving smoothly. Haaay. I think I'm falling in love even more. I think just by breathing Drake, I fall in love. This is really bad!
"..but that might make you angry.."
He was still looking straight at the highway, "I don't care. I can handle her being mad at me. I can't handle you not talking to me."
*wild palpitation spotted again*
I couldn't help but smile when Drake said, "You're ugly."
He turned to me a little, "weird."
"You're so ugly, you're making me excited again!!"
He smirked, "it's my job, after all."
After a few minutes we arrived at... the mall! Of course we weren't like other people who go to restaurants or wherever. Drake and I were already at the mall. For all I know, we were just shopping =)))
"Let's eat first," I told her. We weren't holding hands anymore. That Shaira was really annoying! That was the kind of moment that only happens once and then she would ruin it!
"Sure."
We walked everywhere. I wanted to go to the food court so more people could see us on a date but Drake didn't want to because he said it was cheap!! It was really artistic!
"Where are we going to eat?? I'm tired!"
Tinignan ako ni Drake, "don't use that face on me. I won't carry you inside this mall."
"What kind of face are you talking about??"
"That face," sabi niya tapos pinoint niya yung index finger niya sa noo ko, "puppy eyes and pouty lips. It's adorable but stop it. I won't give you a piggyback ride."
"Tss. Fine," I said and we walked. What does this Palma want to eat??
He held my hand *wild palpitation* and then we entered the... Old Spaghetti House? Really? After all the walking we did here, we're going to fall???
He raised his hand, "two meatball spaghetti and Lipton Red Tea," he said without looking at the menu or paying attention to the waitress. What else? Other people don't really notice this. All he notices is my existence. And I'm thrilled about it!!
"After all the walking we've done, all you're getting is meatball spaghetti??"
He shrugged, "it's delicious."
"What if I don't eat spaghetti?"
He shrugged again while he was reading something on his phone. I suddenly remembered that I was going to ask for his number!
"D-drake?"
"Hmm?" he said, still looking at his phone.
Huhuhu. How can I do this? It's embarrassing! I'm the girl and I'm the one asking for her number!!
"C-can you---"
I didn't finish what I was going to say because our order arrived, "here's your order."
That's annoying! That's it! That's the moment!!
We ate spaghetti in silence, which was Drake's favorite. I thought it would be hard to please this guy, but it turned out he only ate spaghetti! I could teach Aunt Liana a lesson when she got back from Singapore. I didn't know that suddenly his almost there would become he's already there!
We finished eating and then we went to the boutique. Yes, we were weird. This was my bonding moment with Drake, we went shopping. I couldn't be with Aya because she doesn't like girly stuff. She would rather play with her voodoo dolls than look at cute shoes!
We went around the boutiques but we didn't buy anything. All the clothes there were last season and we didn't wear that. It's arty if it's arty but that's how we are. Yes, we're weird.
We also spent a long time going around and around before we finally got to the 4D Max Ride.
*IN*
I pulled the sleeve of Drake's shirt, "let's go in..."
He looked at the place first and then shook his head.
"Okay, please?"
He still shook his head.
"Pretty please?"
He sighed, "fine."
Yosh! I've been wanting to try this for a long time, but I'm always alone!! We went inside and paid. The 4D glasses were handed to us and we waited for our turn. While waiting, Drake was sitting in the waiting area and the handsome man was still cross-legged while I looked at the selection. The noise of those inside!! I was excited!! It was like they were having fun because they were shouting and then it was cool to see it on the screen!!
After a few minutes, it was our turn. I chose Wild, Wild West. Hehehe. I hope I'm scared!
It's started...
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAA I DON'T WANT TO GO OUT DRAKE I'M SCARED HUHUHU MOMMY DADDY I'M SCARED GET ME OUT OF HERE HUHUHU AYO----"
Drake took off his 4D glasses then took off mine and---
Did he kiss me?
Because the ride was moving, in an unexpected event, Drake fell down on the seat we were sitting on and... I was on top of him. Huhuhu. Mommy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to end up on top of Drake. It was just an accident, don't send me to America with Dane. Huhuhu.
Our lips were just touching and we were looking at each other. The whole ride. The ride was 15 mins. Oh, my god. Porn Porn!!!
The ride ended when I couldn't look Drake in the eye. How awkward!! He walked out like nothing happened. Why was my heart beating so fast??
He walked away and I hugged him. I didn't wait for him to turn around, "I'm just a CR. You just go."
I ran back to the 4D Max Rider.
Luckily no one was there. It would be embarrassing if anyone saw the err--- kissing scene between Drake and me!
"Miss?"
The woman looked at me and then smiled at me as if to say 'I know what you did there.'
"Uhm, do you have a video copy of earlier?"
"Which one? The Wild, Wild West or your video?" he said, smiling at me again!! Huhu. I feel like I'm in a video scandal!
"Y-that's the second thing you said."
He winked at me, "sure, Miss. Do you have a flashdrive?"
"Hala, no night eh.."
"Memory card? External disk?"
I quickly took out my BB and untied it. Huhuhu. Sorry, Vance. I'll fix it for you later. I just need the memory card. I immediately gave the girl my memory card.
"There, Miss," he handed it to me.
I took the memory card and handed him the money, but he gave it back to me.
"Don't worry. You and your boyfriend are so funny," she said, then smiled at me, which made me smile back, "I hope you two stay together."
I thanked him then walked out of 4D and looked for my Π
Vance. I'll fix it for you later. I just need the memory card. I immediately gave the girl my memory card.

I took the memory card and handed him the money, but he gave it back to me.
"Don't worry. You and your boyfriend are so funny," she said, then smiled at me, which made me smile back, "I hope you two stay together."
I thanked him then walked out of 4D and looked for my boyfriend.
I thought my day was ruined because of Shaira, but because of Drake, it was perfect. Because of Drake.
