Chapter 51
7 hours?!
I haven't been able to answer yet but Drake has already walked out!
Hey! Sorry, I didn't mean to!! I was just too happy with Dane that I forgot. Seriously... it's not my fault, right? I didn't purposely keep him waiting that long! But why do I still feel guilty?
I wanted to follow him into his unit but I was too shy. I'm the one who didn't keep our promise, I'm the one who's going to nag him. And one more thing... we're breaking up. What right do I have to press the 1131 code on his door??
I just walked to my unit and threw myself on the beanbag. These beanbags are good, they always make me happy!! Drake, even though we broke up, still messes with my brain. And who is to blame? It's still me!! Who would be the idiot to ask for a condo? I can do it!!
I was walking back to the couch because I went to the fridge to get some strawberry milk but the doorbell rang. Oh my! Is that Tripp again?!!
"Tr---- Uy, Drake. Hehehe."
He was looking at me with that familiar set of cold eyes. It was still scary!!
"I changed my mind," he said.
"Huh?"
"I can't let you hate me. I'll make you love me again. Come," he said and then he pulled my hand.
He's been dragging me around for a while. We're here in the elevator. What the hell is that!! It's embarrassing! I'm still wearing fluffy slippers! Good thing I haven't changed into pajamas yet! Drake is so impulsive all of a sudden! When did he become impulsive? This is new!! But even so!! I look embarrassing. I'm still stressed from his 'do you hate me that much' drama earlier. I haven't combed my hair yet, I'm still wearing fluffy slippers and what else? I still have strawberry milk in my hand, oh!!
"Drake!"
He looked at me. "What?"
"Where are we going?"
He smiled at me. OMG this is new!! Was our breakup a good thing? He was already smiling!! "Date. You have a dinner date with me, remember?"
"Drake, it's almost 11. Is there a restaurant still open?"
He stopped at what I said.
OMG! I'm right!!
"Hmm. You're right." He was still thinking when we stopped at the ground floor which is the parking lot. It looks like I'm going to be on a joy ride again.
I was about to get out of the elevator when Drake pulled me back in. He pressed the 1 button.
"I thought we were leaving?" I asked him.
"Change of plans," he said. I didn't say anything. I trust Drake. He's never let me down... or has he? Once, by the way. When I debuted. Haaay.
We immediately arrived at the 1st floor and he pulled me. Yes, he pulled me, heading to the convenience store. Wow! Our dinner date, I think it's going to end up being a mini stop date!!
Drake was walking down the aisles with one hand holding mine. His other hand was carrying a basket.
"Do you eat ramen?" he asked.
"Ha?"
"Nevermind. I'll make you eat those," he said as he put some ramen in his basket. No, it's ramens! That's four packs! Are we going on a picnic tonight?? Did he also get eggs?? Even marshmallows, sticks?!! Soy milk, toblerone, chips, and whatever else. Oh, he also bought a kilo of ice! Is Drake on ecstasy now?!
He paid for what he bought. The dry goods were still in paper bags but he was holding the ice in plastic. Avoid looking at your arms, Alys. Take a break. Don't touch your biceps!!
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!" I screamed because I slipped. That's really slippery ice!! It's dripping!! And because the floor is tiled, I slipped!!!
Drake let go of the ice and grabbed my hand, but he was also out of balance so we fell to the floor together.
*wild palpitations*
It's a good thing we're on the 19th floor. People are busy here, we have 10 units here. The others are always empty, the other units are not occupied yet.
We just looked at each other. How awkward!!
Oh, did I mention he was on top of me? Omg!! Mommy will beat me to death if she finds out!!
"Alys..." Drake said. Just a little bit more, I can kiss her!! I mean, she can kiss me.
"H-ha?"
"Can I kiss you? I know we broke up but... I feel like kissing you right now."
"H-ha?"
We're still looking at each other. Lord, is this a test to see if I've moved on? If so, then my standing is failing!
"I don't wanna force you. I won't kiss you if you don't like me to," he said. "Or not," he said again and then kissed my neck.
He stood up immediately after kissing my neck. Me? Still lying on the floor. Oh, Lord. You know what? I failed!! Is there a re-take??
I saw Drake trying to hold back a smile but it was obvious that he was smiling. Haaay, Drake!
He helped me stand up. His ice? Well, it melts on the floor. It's up to you. Later, if someone slips here, Drake and I will be blamed!! There are CCTVs in every corner of this building.
I took my handkerchief and wiped the floor. It didn't fit. My handkerchief was so small. TAT
"Here," he said.
Lord is this the re-take?!! Why is this so much!!
"DD-Drake?" I said, my eyes glued to his abs. Oh, Lord. Why are you testing me??
"It's fine. You can use my shirt," he said while still handing me his branded shirt and then he wanted me to just wipe it on the floor?!! Drake must be really in ecstasy!! But oh noes!! My eyes still don't want to leave his abs!! That's terrible!! My eyes, look away from there!!
Because he must have noticed that I was in a trance, he was the one who wiped the floor. He was wearing a mask so we were face to face with his abs. Oh, golly. Did Drake work out? His abs look strong. They look delicious---- NO NO NO!! I'm not a perv!
"It's done," he said as we walked together. "Let's go?" he said.
I just nodded.
Is he really my ex? Why does he still act like my boyfriend when we do things??
We walked to his unit. Oh my. It feels nostalgic!!
I looked around his unit, well, it's been almost a month since I last went here, right? As in, what's going on inside? It's been a while!
"Come here," he said and then he placed what looked like a portable cooking pot of something on the table. Weee. This is so exciting! Are we going to have a picnic?!!
He put a pot of something on the stove and then we waited for the water to boil, but while we were waiting, we ate marshmallows first.
"So, is your family mad at me?" he asked..
"H-ha?"
He sighed. "Tell them I'm sorry. No, wait. I'll personally tell them that I am sorry," he said, still looking at the pot. As for me, my mouth was full of mallows.
I felt guilty because he seemed so guilty about what happened. "Come on, Drake... That's gone. Past is past, right?"
He smiled at me but it was a sad smile. "I know but--"
I cut him off. "But what? It's over, Drake. The damage has been done. Even if you're sorry, you've done it. So don't do it anymore, okay? A lot has changed..."
"The... things that changed. Does that include your feelings?"
