You want me to drive? – Aly
No, I'm good. Where do you want to go? – Den.
As Aly entered Den's car, "whoah, stick!!!." Aly was referring to the car being a manual transmission.
Yeah, I find it sexy. Mas may challenge pag ganito. Feeling ko, I can command the engine better. – Den as she started the engine. "I like speed, Aly." And she gave this nakakalokong wink.
Mejo napalunok naman si Aly sa wink na yon. She finds Den sexy. Sexy pero hindi pa-girl Yong tipong hindi alagain. Sexy pero hindi binebeybi. Sexy pero she can command respect. Sexy na oozing with confidence in the cerebral level.
Talaga? Astig mo pala. How long have you been driving na ba? – Aly
Hindi ba halata? Hahaha. My dad taught us early. Basta abot mo na ang pedals, pwede ka ng turuan. I think, I was 12. Alam mo naman sa province, pwede kahit underage basta maingat ka lang. Ikaw, mahilig ka din ba sa cars?– Den.
Very! I like vintage cars. I'll show you my baby. It's 1963 VW Beetle. That’s my baby. It's my weekend project. – Aly
Ah talaga. Well, that’s something. – Den
Something what? – Aly
Konti lang ang kilala kong girls na car enthusiasts. Nakakabilib, lalo na if its vintage. Mas mahirap alagaan yong mga yun eh. It takes more than just liking, its more of a passion. – Den
Sinabi mo pa. Kinukumutan ko kaya yon. So, kelan mo gusto tingnan? – Aly
Sabihan mo ko kelan mo gusto, I'll make time for you Aly. – Den.
Biglang napalunok naman si Aly sa nasabi ni Den. Iba ang dating ng kanyang pagkakasabi nito at naramdaman nyang mejo ipinatong ni Den ang kanyang kamay habang nakahawak sa kambyo.
"San ba kami pupunta? Parang ako na ang ikakambyo neto pag nagtagal pa kami dito," bulong ni Aly sa sarili habang napatingin sya sa kamay ni Den na ngayon ay talagang nasa may tuhod na nya.
"Hey, you know it's my birthday! Let's ramen or coffee before kita ihatid," aya ni Den kay Aly.
Si-sige. –Aly
Den decided to not go far from Timog as she knows a place open for 24 hours.
Kala ko ba ramen, shakey's naman to? – Aly
We'll have ramen next time, promise. – Den.
They ordered soup, chicken, and more beers.
While Den was chewing on her pizza, "hmmm, Dennise Lazaro," sabay abot ng kamay kay Aly, "I believe we haven't been formally introduced."
