Chapter 14

"You ready?"

I look up,smiled excitedly and nodded.

"Let's go" then he started the engine.

"Is Apol ready?" I asked.

"Yes, she's waiting for us to pick her up"

I wrinkled my nose. "My bad, i got up late"

He turn his head on me and raise his one brow. "We expected that already"

"How dare you! I'm-- I'm-''

"You're what?!" he chuckled.

I glared at him.

"Stop teasing me"

"C'mon, we all know you don't follow time arrangement, Naya."

Tss, i don't wanna argue. Whatever.

We decided to go out of town after the final examination. Can you believe it? i manage to survive one sem.

Although the duration of our exam is hell, like figuratively hell,  though i think i did fine.

So yeah, we'll be going north as a treat for ourselves. We'll stay there for  about a week because we have 2 weeks vacation break before second semester starts.

"How many hours Claude?" i asked him while looking outside.

"You mean the drive?" I rolled my eyes, obviously.

"About 6 or 8, depends" He answered.

"This will be long i guess" i murmur.

We arrived at Apol house and when we got there she was already standing outside their gate with big bags attached on her shoulder.

What the hell, did she think we are going out of the country?

"That much?!" i exclaimed while looking at her luggage.

She only shrug her shoulders. I look at mine, just one luggage, for my clothes and one avarage bag for my other necessities such as make up, skin care, soaps and etc. It's nothing compare to hers.

"Better ready than sorry" she only stated.

"Okay guys, hop in" Claude said after he finished arranging Apol things.

"Let's grab some food first, a fastfood will do" I suggested. I don't wanna have an empty stomach. Claude said after two hours the road will already be desserted so he full tank his car.

"Anyway do we have water here?" i asked.

"Yep, i bought a galon" he answered.

"Then just drive to the nearest chain, Claude"

Both of them agreed, i did took my breakfast but still we are going to spend the whole day on the road.

"What do you all want?" i asked them.

"Just order whatever you want. your choice. We'll wait you here"

"Alright, wait for me"

We are on the town center, they decided to wait for me in the parking lot.

I gone to a doughnut house ordered two dozen and go to a fastfood chain. Ordered four big aloha burgers, three sets of meal with fries, soup and drinks.

And when i saw a pizza house i thought of buying some pepperoni  and an italian pizza.

My hands were full, i was having a hard time carrying them when suddenly someone took the boxes of pizza and doughnuts from my hand. It startled me but when i look who was it, my mouth parted.

"H-hey" I greeted.

"Where are you going?" instead of answering, he asked.

"I-Im with my block friends" I said out of the blue. 'What are you talking about, Nayaline?! you sound so guilty! what's so guilty about his question?!'

And why do i need to be guilty?!

'Because you know he hates Claude! and you are with claude!'

Oh god, what am i doing. Talking to myself.

"Hey, i.. i ah..  i can manage."

"No, i'll help you" he stubbornly said.

I didn't have a choice, i led him quitely on the parking lot.

The car door opened  when we arrive and it revealed Claude's face.

I naturally look at Creed face, i saw how he suddenly tighten his jaw. I bit my lip.

"Hey!... oh, you're here." it was Claude.

I glared at him but he only smirked at me and i think Creed saw that.

"W-where's apol?" i stuttered but simply trying to imply that I AM NOT ALONE WITH CLAUDE!

"Huh? apol?" and the motherfucking Claude acted as if he doesn't know who's apol! That will make Creed's think im on a trip with him!!!only the two of us!!

I glared, my eyes sends dagger,  wanting to kill him but the bastard is not even looking at me!

"Anyway, let me take those" he said and took the food form Creed's hand.

"Naya, hop in. We got a long way to---" He didn't finished talking.

"Be careful" That's what Creed said before turning his back on us.

My jaw drop, no!! this is a misunderstanding!

Savagely, i look at Claude.

"HOW DARE YOU!" but the jerk only laughed!!

"What?"

"Stop acting innocent!! What the fuck is wrong with you?!"

"Woah, woah. Stop cursing lady--"

"I will fucking curse because i can and i want to! you damn bastard!"

"Tsk, seriously Naya. For once can you act unbothered when it comes to him? I mean lady, you made that guy feel you are for him and you're always there. That he's the only one, you made him feel safe"....

He rose his upper lip with a mocking smile. "Trust me, im a man. I know, he won't act unless threatened"
