I stood on that spot, looking at the car as it drove off, I started having that feeling again, that feeling of emptiness and loss , I don't know why. Coulditbehunger? Orjusttheeffects of my latedadonme? Ineedtogetaholdofmyself.
"Hey man, you left without me" ,Ben said, while placing his arm around my shoulder. "Everything OK? " he asked , with a look of concern on his face. I snapped out of my thoughts. "Y-yeah, yeah, sure, just hungry" I said ,smiling now. "Oh ,OK , let's get our luggage and get going ,I know a place we could eat ", he said, hitting me with his shoulder on my sides. " sure", I agreed. We got our luggage and left the crowded hall of the airport. Ben's car was parked at the lot, so we went over there and threw our stuffs in the trunk. He took the driver's seat and I sat beside him. *dramatically inhales* "Hmmm, I can smell a wonderful vacation here" I said, looking out the wind shield. Ben rolled his eyes . The road was beautiful, side gardens on each side. There were beautiful and tall buildings, but I had seen better in NYC. The streets were peaceful and quiet, and I could smell baked foods and pastries as we passed nearby bakeries and diners. The drive was long and I started feeling dizzy as the breeze from outside brushed my face , making my hair sway. Soon enough , I could feel the car slowing its speed then it stopped by the side of the road. "Why'd you pull over here?" I asked Ben, waking up from my nap. "Look", he pointed at a police man approaching the vehicle. "Ugh! What does he want", I asked ,sitting upright. " You weren't wearing your seatbelt, so I guess that's why."he said blankly. "Shoot!And you didn't tell me?" I said, while I hurriedly put on the seatbelt. I'm sure the officer saw me from how he clenched his brows as he drew closer. "You were sleeping and I didn't want to bother you, besides we're here already, just a turn then you'll see the house, and you know he saw you put your belt on right?" Ben asked, laughing. "Shut up and act natural". I fumbled on my seat as I tried my best to compose and look " natural " Pfft, dummy
"Helloooo there Mr officer Sir" I said, smiling and poking the police officer on his chest with my finger. Yes, verynatural I saw Ben face palming. "Hey , yeah, you know I saw you putting on the seat belt right?",he asked, with a stern voice and untraceable accent.
My turn to face palm. "Ptfff, you did?I'm sure I had it on all along" I said, rolling my eyes and I looked at Ben and mouthed I'msorry. "Drivers license?" He asked facing Ben now. Ben got it out and also gave other documents the officer requested.

After what seemed like 2minutes of turning my neck sideways to see what was passed on from Ben to the cop. The cop spoke, "so where are you guys heading?" I responded, "Where we live", I said blankly. Cop: Where do you live? Me: I live with Ben here. Cop: Where does Ben live?. Me: Oh Ben lives with me. Cop:Where do you both live? Me: Together. Cop: (agitated) Where is your house? Me: Beside our neighbor's house. Cop: Where is your neighbor's house. Me: (dramatically sighs) If I tell you ,you won't believe. Cop: Tell me! Me: Beside our house.
