Chapter 3

　　But in the end, I didn't object, oh God is this it? Are we really gonna do it? Am I ready? I don't even know his name for fuck's sake!

　　I gulped and cleared my throat. After minutes of silence, my phone rang and I saw older brother Sage's name on the screen. I rolled my eyes before answering. "Ye-"

　　"Azalea Bernice Eleanor!" I automatically distanced my phone from my precious ears when my loud ass brother yelled my whole holy name.

　　"What ?!" I spat back.

　　"I told you that you need to be home before two, and now you're saying you're not coming home ?!" He exclaimed. "Didn't you see Gavin at ABC? I told him to fetch you there."

　　My forehead frowned. "Gavin? Who's Gavin?" I will ask. I don't know anyone like that. "Maybe Gabriel? Wait, you're close with my ex, brother?"

　　"It's Gavin, you brat, Gavin. Damn we're dead tomorrow if you won't come home tonight!" He added.

　　"But I don't know that Gavin I said- hey!" I was startled when the man next to me snatched my iPhone.

　　"Sage," he started. My eyes rolled. How does he knew my brother ?! Wait, we're famous around Cebu so I think- "Yes, I'm driving her home now." And he fucking knows where we live ?! But I just saw him here, maybe he's a stalker? I knew it! He's stalking me!

　　"No problem." He said before handing me my phone.

　　My eyes narrowed as I accepted that. He didn't even look at me. He looked straight down the road as if he had no beautiful woman in the car! I gasped in the air before putting my cellphone to my ear.

　　"It's me." I boredly said.

　　"Atleast now I'm rest assured that you're safe with Gavin. Stop fooling me around and don't give him a hard time, okay?" Said Kuya Sage.

　　Wait what ?! This guy is Gavin ?!

　　I rolled my eyes and turned to the man next to me. And what have you heard me before? That he's bringing me to this man ?! So I was the purpose of it at the bar earlier but he even managed to flirt instead of taking me home ?!

　　"What do you mean? Wh-who the fuck is this guy, Kuya ?!" I raised my voice in confusion. I faced the road with my forehead furrowed.

　　"What? Did you forget him already? He's Gavin, Lea. Our cousin." My lips parted and I felt my tongue cut out. The iPhone would have been almost slippery in the palm of my hand if I hadn’t just immediately laid it on my thigh.

　　I was dumbfounded along the way as my brain processed what Kuya Sage had said.

　　The man beside me is Gavin, and he's my cousin. He went to the same bar I am at to pick me up and then there I am, who almost stripped off in front of him like a wild and mad liberated teen. I even thought of silly things with him earlier. And worst, if my kuyas and daddy would know about that, I'm fucking dead!

　　Oh my god .. I want to get out of this car. NOW!
