"We all went out together, carrying our suitcases. We were going home today, Friday, and school starts on Monday. Back to lessons again.
We were waiting for the elevator when someone grabbed my hand, holding my suitcase. I looked and saw Dark, who quickly kissed me on the lips.
-Ding-
The elevator arrived, so we all entered. The four of them were just fooling around beside us, but we didn't pay them any attention. The person next to me held onto my waist.
The elevator rang, and we stepped out. Many students were already leaving. We got on the bus we used to ride, where we sat in our usual spots, but now we were partners.
The journey was still long, so the bus stopped by a restaurant. I took out my wallet and phone before we got off. I was hungry, so we went inside. The restaurant was almost full because of our group, but luckily there were no other customers.
We sat near their garden and called the waiters. They took our orders and left. When they came back, they brought our food.
We ate and talked until we finished our meal. Some of the others went back to their buses, and we also bought some water before returning to the bus.
I sat down first, followed by Dark. The bus started moving, and I hugged Dark, who was wearing earpads because he was still sleepy. The journey was still long. I let myself be consumed by the darkness.
We arrived in Manila at 3 pm. We got off the bus, pushing our suitcases.
"Let's go, come with me, I'll drop you off," Dark suddenly said to me, holding my hand and pulling me along.
He had his car parked in the school's parking lot. My friends would take care of themselves, along with their flirtatious partners. I got into the car and adjusted my seatbelt, and he did the same before turning the steering wheel.
"Tomorrow is Saturday. What are you going to do?" he asked, looking at the road.
"Ahmm... maybe nothing. How about you?" I asked him back.
"I don't know," he said to me.
-FAST FORWARD-
We arrived in front of my house. I took off my seatbelt and kissed him on the lips. He responded to my kiss. Before we got out of the car, he opened the trunk and took my suitcase. Manong approached us, and I handed him my suitcase, which he brought inside.
"Take care on your way home. Text me when you arrive," I said to him, hugging him tightly. He nodded at me and smiled. I knew he was tired.
"Don't go anywhere, baby. Rest now. I love you," I said affectionately to him.
"I love you too," he said.
He kissed me on the forehead before saying goodbye. Once he was out of sight, I entered the house. It was just Manang here; my parents were not home. They were probably busy with their beloved business.
I went straight to my room, took a shower, and changed into a jacket and black leggings with red, white, and black stripes, along with white Adidas shoes. Before going downstairs, I grabbed my phone and shoulder bag.
I caught up with Manang, and we ate together. We chatted in the dining area and laughed. I asked for permission to go to Dark's house because I missed him. His whole family already knows me, so there's no need to be distant or worry about losing face.
I arrived at the front of their house, and the guard opened the gate for me. I smiled at the driver because he already knows me.
"You're here, miss..." Manong said.
"Yes, I am. Is Dark still asleep? Can I come in?" I asked, so he nodded, and I entered.
Their house is so beautiful, truly luxurious, just like Dark.
"Iha..." Dark's mom greeted me happily, so I smiled sweetly at her.
"Tita..." I said to her and hugged her.
"I'm glad you visited," she said, and we walked towards their living room.
"Tita..." Beverly, Dark's sister, greeted me happily. We hugged each other, and Tita just laughed at the two of us.
"Iha... you're here too?" Dark's dad suddenly said as he came down the stairs, wearing his business attire.
"Yes, Uncle," I said to him, approaching him and hugging him.
"Did you eat your breakfast, iha? Come with us, Dark is still asleep. You can join us," Tita said, so I nodded and followed them to the living room.
I was amazed by their beautiful house; Dark's room had a black door, while the rest of the family had brown doors. They were all wearing business attire except for him.
"Iha..." Tito greeted me happily, so I smiled sweetly at him.
"Tito..." I said to him and hugged him.
