Chapter 52
"Hey!"
I looked up, and Tripp was with me today. "Hmmm?"
He lay down on the grass. There's a school anniversary today so the whole of Brent is irregular for one week. We're here at freedom park. "I've been talking here for a while, but you're not listening."
"Sorry, I was just thinking about something."
"Who? My cousin?"
I looked at him again. Why did he know what I was thinking? "H-ha? Ah, yes..." I admitted. How could I not be distracted? Drake's question to me the other night was so serious! Look, it's been a few nights but the effect his question had on me is still the same.
-flashback-
"H-ha?" I asked Drake. He's so rude! I didn't mean to make him wait 7 hours!! Besides, 7 hours is so rude! Why didn't he come inside first? He knows the passcode. As if I'd accuse him of being a thief if he came in. Tsk.
He came to me. Oh no, Don't!!
"I said, do you still feel the same for me... or have you forgotten how it feels to be in love with me?"
0 0
"H-ha?"
Lord, all I can say is 'ha'! I'm speechless at what this guy is saying!!
I felt the door behind me. Oh, am I trapped?!
When I couldn't back down any longer, thanks to the door, he put both of his hands between my head and bent down so that our faces were level. Oh, Lord. The person in front of me was too tempting. Help me!!
"Alys Zyril, I have all the time in the world. Are you going to answer my question or not?"
*gulp*
"W-what's up, D-drake..."
"What?" he said. Jusko- The smell of his breath. It smells like menthol
I bowed a little because I swear, just a little closer, we'll kiss again.
"Of course I still love you, but I'm tired. You know that?" I said. I wanted to be honest with him. He deserves it. It's not because we broke up, I'm going to cheat on him. I wasn't raised that way. Besides, I don't want to hurt a man. I know it hurts, because it hurt me too when I saw Dane cry. I don't want to see that.
He fowered his hand and then laughed, that laugh that seemed sarcastic? It seemed like that...
"Is it Tripp?"
"H-ha?"
He looked at me. I was scared, like he was angry. I didn't want to see him angry, Drake...
"N-no, Drake. Tripp and I are just friends. I told you, I love you, okay? I just don't want to. That's my reason, Drake. I'm tired of you."
After I said 'I'm tired of you,' he looked to the side. He bit his lip and looked like he was holding back tears.
Seducing Drake Palma (Soon on Viva One)
LIKE SHE WAS HOtuing back tears.
I approached him and held his hand. "Hey, Drake..."
He pulled my hand away from his face. What did I do? Did I make Drake angry? Come on!!
"One last time, Alys. Do you still want me or what? I'm not the most patient person in the world. If you say you don't want me, I'll quit on you."
"D-drake..."
"Shh," he said and turned away. "Forget it. You know what? I really love you, Alys. But like you, I get tired too."
He started walking. Away from me. What have I done?!!
-present-
Tripp took his camera from his bag and adjusted the lens. "You know, Alys. Drake is one complicated man, even I, sometimes I don't understand him."
I smiled at him a little. "I know..." I know very well how complicated Drake is.
But why is that? Even though he's so complicated, he's still there, I still love him. I know that because Drake and I have been together for almost three. months. All my feelings can't disappear in just a month, right? But after all, what's the point of a relationship if you don't understand each other?
"You know, right? What's your decision?"
"Ha?"
Tripp pointed his camera at me. "Drake is my cousin, Alys. We've been talking. I know he wants you back. What do you think?"
I was silent. What should I answer Tripp? What? That I have no choice but to go back because Drake himself gave up on me.
I shrugged. "I'm tired, he's tired too. Maybe we should just move on?"
He clicked his camera,
"Are you sure?"
I nodded. "Yes. That's right. They say, if it's meant to be, it will be."
He stood up, shook the wild grass off his pants, and offered his hand to me.
"Come on," he said.
"Huh? Where are we going?"
He just smiled. "As long as you trust me, right?"
I nodded.
I followed Tripp. Since the class was irregular, we were just scattered around campus. I noticed that we were walking towards SCA.
"Hey, why are we here?!"
I tried to stop but Tripp just pulled me harder. He even laughed at what I did. I actually stopped, he was pulling me so hard, I almost fell to the floor. Grrrr!!
"It's Zyril. Let's go, quickly."
"I don't want to! Why are we here in the first place?"
He just winked at me. "Just trust me on this one, alright?"
I just sighed. I just let him pull me here and there. It's annoying! My high school batchmates, they've been looking at us for a while. They must be surprised that Drake wasn't with me.
We stopped in front of a lecture hall. Okay?
"Sit down," Tripp said. Even though I didn't really know why we were here, I sat down anyway.
"Why are we here?" I teased him again.
He smiled at me again. "Didn't you say you were really tired?"
I nodded. He smiled again.
"Since you're tired of Drake, I can flirt with you."
I hadn't even reacted to what he said, when suddenly people came out of the lecture hall!! Oh my!! It's Drake!!!
Lord, please. What's going on?!!
Drake walked towards us, because he could definitely pass us. Tripp blocked Drake's path. Oh, Lord. I know I've been a bad best friend to Aya, but please don't punish me like this!!
"Drake," Tripp said.
Drake stopped but didn't look at me. Was he really mad at me?
"I'm going to date Alys. Is that okay with you, right?"
Drake looked at me for a moment then looked back at Tripp. "You like her? Good luck. She likes breaking hearts."He said then left.
