Playing With Destiny

Chapter Twelve

[Khyzrr Khryss Alejandro's Point of View]

She’s wearing a very tiny clothing; I’ll deal with that maid some other time. Thank God, I have another hoodie jacket for her, it’s inside my car. It’ll be enough to cover her tummy, why does that kind of clothing even exist, seriously?

“Are you going to drive me home?” She asked while she’s still looking at my garden, I bet she loves my garden, well, I love flowers and I’ll kill someone who will dare to touch or pick them without my permission. Ah, I remember some of my maids, it was late in the evening and I caught them picking my dear flowers so I fired them, they could’ve been asked me for whoever’s sake, what they did is actually stealing.

“Hmm. Don’t you dare pick my dearest flowers, Ice.” I warned her, she looked at me with a glare before pulling my hair again. Oh no, not again. I spent several minutes to fix my hair!

“Enough, Ice.” I told her, she just shrugged before she let my hair go. Why does it have to be my hair? Am I more handsome with a clean cut hairstyle? Ah, why am I even talking to myself like a psycho?

We walked towards my car and went inside, I didn’t have the chance to open the door for her since she’s faster than me, she immediately went inside at the passenger seat. When I got inside the car, she’s looking at me like I’m a mess. But I noticed that her face is red, is she blushing or she purposely put a blush on?

“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked while I’m busy putting my seatbelt on, it’s getting weirder that I thought, not that I find her weird, but her stares are weird and a bit creepy. I’m not used to it.

“I like your hair better like that.”

With that, I immediately looked at her and she’s already doing something on her phone. Ah, then with what she said, I won’t bother to tie my hair anymore. I just brush my hair once before maneuvering my car. She doesn’t know where am I taking her but I know that she’ll love it there. She’s cold like the place we’re going.

Minutes had passed and were still on the road with the radio on because we are both silent because she’s busy with her phone and I’m busy driving.

“This isn’t the way towards my apartment.”

“Because we aren’t going to your apartment.” I answered, still eyes on the road. I won’t sacrifice both of our lives just because I want to glance at her. I’ll have some time later.

“And where are you taking me?”

“To Tagaytay.” I answered, I heard her utter something but I didn’t look at her. It’s a long drive from Zambales to Tagaytay but I know that it’ll be worth it. I’ve been wanting to spent a long drive with her, and it’s finally coming true. How I love this.

“And what will we do there?”

“We’ll be having fun.” I answered again, she has a lot of questions. I need to answer her since she loves to pull my hair when I’m not responding and when I’m doing something that she doesn’t like, though I love seeing her pissed. She looks really cute and adorable.

“I don’t have any clothes to wear, what about Alana? She’ll be mad at me!”

“We’ll be stopping in a mall nearby; we’ll eat there too. And about Alana, I already talked to her, she actually asked me if I could look out for you because she’s in Baguio right now because of her family.” I told her, she fell silent, at last.

After an hour and a half, we already found a mall. At last, we can finally eat, I looked at Keliche and she’s already sleeping. I looked at her and took my phone, she’s so cute even when she’s asleep, but I like her more when she’s drunk. I took some shots of her while she’s sleeping and I even posted it on my facetagram story.

Just Now

My own version of sleeping beauty.

I posted her picture, the one with some hair is covering her face, a little mysterious. A mysterious girl when she’s not drunk but stubborn when she is.

“Ice, come on, let’s go home now. You’re already drunk.” I told her because she literally drank all the beers that I’ve ordered for us. I didn’t stop her since she pulls my hair when I’m taking a bottle away. She even cried when I put spicy seasonings on her beloved chicken wings.

“Your voice seems so familiar!” She said while she’s eating a chicken wing, she had one in both of her hands. She even told me that she loves chicken wings too, that she hated chicken feet because for her, it’s disgusting.

“Of course, I’m Khyzrr. Now, let’s go home.” I told her while pulling her up but she’s not even helping me, she’s just eating her chicken wings while she’s crying because of its spiciness.

“Khyzrr, huh? The gorgeous guy in the company I’m working?” She asked, with that I immediately sat down and pulled her face, I literally force her to look at me.

“I’m gorgeous?” I asked, she slightly nodded before eating again. I smiled, I knew it! She has a crush on me, I’ll thank Mom later for giving me her genes. I’m so lucky that I inherited my look from my mom! Bad for Lizzey because she looked like Dad though she looks a lot better that that devil.

I think I’m blushing; I remember that again. I bet she already forgot about it already but I don’t care, what she said is what she already said. And someone told me that a person who is already drunk, who seems to talk nonsense, actually speaks the truth and I believe that!

“Hey, sleeping beauty with a personality cold as ice, wake up now.” I told her while pinching her cheeks, she moved and when her eyes opened she immediately rolled it. Ugh.

“Where are we?” She asked, I pointed the mall outside so she nodded. When she was about to go outside, I immediately pulled her back and took the jacket at the back seat, actually it’s inside a paper bag and I love the jacket because I like Ariana Grande so much, it’s a pink one with a ‘thank u, next’ design in the middle. Well, I’m one of those guys who loves Ariana Grande, I even go to her concerts. I love her because she looks like Barbie and I looked like Ken, were a match. Joke, just kidding, I’m just a little ambitious sometimes. She’s beautiful and I like her songs.

I quickly took the jacket and gave it to her,

“Wear this, I won’t allow you to go out if you’re not going to wear this.” I told her, handing the pink jacket. She looked at me with a confusing look.

“Is this yours?” She asked me while putting the jacket on, I mentally face-palmed myself.

“Yes, I love Ariana and I love her songs.” I told her before getting out of the car and of course, she immediately got out of the car too, wearing my jacket. She sniffed it, maybe she loves my smell, I guess?

“What do you think?” I asked her while were walking towards the entrance of the mall. She rolled her eyes, “Do you have a life span perfume in your body?” She asked so I laughed, some people even looked at me so I stopped. It’s a bit embarrassing, I guess.

“So where are we going to eat?” I asked her while were already inside the mall, wandering around. She just shrugged so I guess I’m the one who’ll choose now, huh?

We just kept on walking until we found a Filipino Restaurant, she didn’t argue and she just walked inside the restaurant too. The smell of the food is mouthwatering and I can’t wait to eat some vegetable cooked food. We found a table near the entrance so we sat in front of each other because I love seeing her eat.

“What do you want to order?” I ask her, she looked at the menu first before looking at me again, “Is this your treat?” She asked so I slightly nodded.

“I want a bistek, the one with a lot of white onions and I love to drink a cucumber juice, please.” She told me before putting the menu down, maybe she’s already done with her orders.

[Bistek Tagalog is a type of Filipino beef stew. This is also known as Beef Steak to some people. It is comprised of thin slices of beef and a generous amount of onions. These are stewed in a soy sauce and lemon juice mixture until the beef gets very tender.] –retrieved from google.com

“Why didn’t you get buttered shrimp this time?” I asked her, she just looked down and tried to avert my gaze so I smiled, she’s shy.

I called the waiter and tell him our orders, he said that it will be serve in a few minutes. They gave us ‘tilapia ice cream’ first who came from Nueva Ecija. It sounds so unique and also, it has a very unique taste and texture too. Too bad, Keliche doesn’t want to taste it, she doesn’t eat sweets. I feel bad for her, she can’t eat the best kind of food ever existed in the world.
