Redemption

46..

Thank you soooooooo much.

I stop the urge to bite my nails sitting on the passenger seat. All of this suspense is too much to handle. Though we hadn't talked to each other from the moment we are in this car but I can feel his presence so empowering just beside me. I feel jittery all over my body by just being close to him in this tiny space. We aren't talking and I'm not gonna change the fact either. But i guess he do.

"So why didn't you go to your job today? The job at school? " he enquired but didn't look at me. Too concentrated on the road.

Don't stutter.. don't stutter.

"Today is Saturday. The restaurant is quite busy on weekends so the owner asked me if I can be there for a whole day. Shortage of staff I guess. He will pay for extra hours." I finished and he nodded.

Then the car again carry a soothing silence for few moments .

"Are you angry? " his sudden question just made me chuckle a little.

"No. Why would I? " I said.

Nervous? Yes

Scared? Yes

Angery ? No

"Then why are you not talking to me?" He complains. He sounded like a child for a second.

I have to turn my face and take a look on his face to see if i will find a pout or a baby face too.

But I found nothing. Plain. Stern. Him.

"I'm not "not talking " to you. We just don't have anything to talk " I pointed out moving my eyes away from him just in case he snap to my eyes and show some of his detective skills and then claim my lies.

"Is it because of the morning ?" He asked again.

"Morning?" I repeated.

"The shower. Remember? " he mumbled.

Oh isn't this been a very long day already. And it's only morning yet.

The shower.

The nightmare with open eyes.

Me opening up to him.

Pizza.

Now we going to drop me to work.

So its a long day ahead.

I shake my head in no. I'm not sure if he saw it but I guess he did because of the sigh he let out. Of relief?

Because I'm no angry?

"You can just drop me here. My work is just around the corner. " I said and straighten myself ready for the car to stop and jump out of it.

"I know. " he said but he didn't stop the car.

And

I know?

What does that even mean

I know?

He know what?

I roll my eyes. He and his words. Those few words which makes no sense to me sometimes.

"So how are you feeling now?" His question caught me off guard.

Same.

"Better " I lied.

He just nodded to himself.

"When you will be home tonight?"

"Late. Very late. It's really really very stuffed on weekends."

Was I convincing enough.

He nodded.

Yes I guess

"Why were you asking? " I chipped lowly looking down making invisible pattern on my jeans.

"I was wondering if we could go out. You know. To eat. "

My heart suddenly beat rapidly.

Is he asking me for a dat.....

"Now I guess I will just take my kids with me"

Oh. So it wasn't a date.

And did he said my kids.

"Our Kids." I pointed out.

This is the first time he has turn his face in my direction. His face has a full on smile with a glint in his eyes.

He nodded.

Turn his face again to the front

"Yes. Our kids" he murmured.

I was about to say something but I saw the familiar surrounding near me.

Oh oo!

And as we soon as we reach in front of the restaurant, I mentally slammed my head in the dashboard hoping to die.

Then i heard him

"Why is the restaurant closed. Locked, to be precise? "
