Shanie's Pov
Oh, of course, I need to take a bath now before they got here.
A few minutes later, I take the towel wrapped it around my body, headed back to the cabinet, and wear clothes. I combed my hair, spray some cologne on my body, and took my wallet from the bag.
But I think it's better to put it in the purse.
And I took my phone, put it in my pocket, and sighed, wondering what other things I need to bring up.
[knuckk, knuckk]
I think it's Mom.
I opened the door.
"I thought you were still asleep but why you didn't switch on the lights?" Mom said and I thought that too and just realized by now.
"I forgot of hurriedly packing my clothes and some things" which is myself.
"By the way, Mom, where did you put the tote bags?" I asked. Where will I put the food storage.
"In the drawer where we put our tote bags" Mom retorts and I take my luggage not switching on the lights again.
I think I memorized where the appliances were placed and just now I realized how my brain is sharp in the dark.
But then, Mom switched on the lights.
[diing, doong]
They're here now.
"Is that your purse? You're bringing that or not?" Mom asked. I put down the luggage and opened it to see the purse. It's not here.
"Yeah, and thanks Mom" I stand up and took the purse.
"Better to switch on the lights next time and I have to go down now to open the door" Mom retorts and she left.
I put the purse in the luggage and took it then, switched off the lights. I headed down in the kitchen after I close the door.
Kitchen..
Mom already packed the food storage where I got entered.
"Thanks, Mom" and I took the two tote bags. I think I can't carry this another tote bag.
"Call one of your class- I'll be the one to carry that, Tita" then we looked at Jay where Mom got cut off.
"Thanks, Jay" Mom retorts and Jay took the tote bag.
"Are the others here now?" Mom asked as we headed out.
"Yes, Tita, and let me carry that too" Jay said and he took too my other tote bag I'm holding off.
"Be careful on the way, ok!? And tell them to drive safely" where Mom opened the door.
"Yes Mom, and take care and lock the door after we leave" I retorted when we got out.
"I know and go now before you got stuck in the traffic" Mom said as we headed into Rommel's car then, Jay put the tote bags in the back and checked.
"Yes Mom, and get inside now" I say, where Jay was just done checking out the things.
"Bye Tita and Shanie were right, you must get inside now before we leave" Jay said and agreed with me when he was about to head in the car as I fixed my bag.
"Alright, and text me if you have arrived there, ok!?" Mom said in concern. A mother's love is indeed unconditional.
"Yes Mom, I will do that and go inside now" Mom headed inside the house then, Jay stepped inside the car and sit right beside me and close the door. As Rommel drives away.
Rommel's car..
"I'm sorry, Love, if I didn't text you last night" Jay said and he held my hand as he apologized and he looked at me.
"It's alright, I understand" I retort as I held his hand too and I looked at him too.
"What time did you wake up 'cause I know you're tired too" should I tell him that Alex called me!?
"I called her and that's the time she just wakes up because I know you both got tired" Alex answered. I didn't expect that he was the one who will answer.
"Thanks, bro" Jay said, but his face was in dismay.
"Anyway, let's eat, I know we're all hungry" Karl said where he change the atmosphere from prudent.
"What do we have there, Blaze?" Karl asked. Because Blaze we're on our back as Duke was on our front where beside Rommel. As Jay, I, Karl, and Chanel were in the middle.
"The junk foods and cup noodles, but the better to eat for me, my opinion was the cup noodles" Blaze answered. I agree with Blaze but I'm looking at Jay. He was quiet.
"I agree" I retort but I don't know to others especially Jay.
"Are you alright?" I cooed to Jay. I'm worried.
"Yeah, I'm tired and I agree too to Blaze" Jay said. Then Rommel stepped the car aside along the road.
"What about you, two?" Jay asked Karl and Chanel and I looked at them too.
"We chose cup noodles too" Chanel said and Blaze took the cup of noodles from the paper bag then, gave us, well the thermos. And we don't worry about the spoons because it has stuck to the cup noodles as well the fork.
Rather than that, we all dig our noodles until we're full and someone burps out.
"We brought lemon juice if you like it" Blaze said and suggest. And I looked at others. I think they are hesitating and thinking about what they want.
"Get me, one of that" I volunteered said then, Blaze took it and gave me.
"Thanks" I opened and drink.
"Blaze took me one too" Duke said as I gulped now my bottle of lemon juice.
"I want hot mocha" Rommel said. The juice wasn't cold enough.
"Let's head to the nearby convenience store" Karl said and Rommel starts the engine and drives away.
"Do you still want to drink hot coffee or hot choco?" Jay asked me when he faced me.
"Just buy me a sachet of all in one coffee" I answered. Now I realized that it's still better to drink hot coffee or hot choco in the morning even you're on a journey like this.
By the way, I forgot to mention Alex was on Karl's back and why he is here?
Oh, I got it because LJ's car was cute and he might be out of place and there are two couples where here is big enough and he can have fun though we are here the other couples.
Anyway, I yawned and I looked at my hand. Jay held my hand then, my eyes slowly drowning until I sleep.
Jay's Pov
"I think someone was sleeping now" Rommel said when he looked at the mirror. Then I looked beside me.
It's Shanie who is Rommel talking about.
I think her sleep last night was not enough and she was perhaps exhausted from yesterday, so I lean her head on my shoulder.
As our journey goes silently and smoothly when Rommel turned right and park beside us.
"I'll be the one to buy for us" Rommel volunteered said and he head out.
"If I know that she'll be going make desserts, I should have helped her" Chanel said like she has done something wrong.
"It's alright, Cha, Tita was there to help her" I say and I'm thinking of who's going to help Rommel to carry the cups. I looked around. Duke was not here too. He perhaps followed and helps Rommel.
Now I think I feel sleepy but I need to drink first before I got asleep. So I took my phone to entertain myself until a few seconds flies, Rommel and Duke came back with a tray of plastic cups.
"Here's the cups of hot coffee and hot choco" Duke said and I keep my phone. As Duke handed the tray for us to get our hot choco and got coffee. I take hot coffee but how about the all-in-one coffee of Shanie? I can't let her head down like this position.
"Bro, you're going back there, right!? For the tray" 'cause I was thinking to order Rommel to buy me a sachet of all in one coffee.
"Yeah, why?" and Rommel gulped his cup of coffee.
"Can you buy me umm.," what kind of all-in-one coffee is she drinking!? Or want to?
"Buy her a caramel macchiato, that's what she wants and always drinking" Chanel retorted. I think there still a lot of things I need to know about from her.
"Thanks, Chanel and here's the money" as I lend the money to Rommel.
"How many?" where Rommel put down his cup in the tray before he took my money.
"Just two" I retorted and he took the money when I gulped my cup of hot coffee. And everyone finished drink their hot coffee and hot choco and Rommel goes back to the convenience store to return the tray and throw down all the cups into the trash bin.
A few seconds fly, Rommel has back and he handed over my change and the sachets of all-in-one caramel macchiato.
