French Kiss in Paris

Chapter 15

Nang mailagay ko naman ang seatbelt ko ng maayos, napansin kong nakaytitig sa akin si Cashel. I laugh a little when he's too serious by staring at me. I kinda like the way his eyes flirts on mine though. Pero hindi naman ako bibigay sa simpleng ninja moves o kung alam man niya ang ibigsabihin no'n.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" ang tunog pabebe ko sa pagkakasabi no'n. "May dumi ba ako sa mukha? Hindi ba pantay ang lipstick ko o masyadong mapula ang blush-on ko?"

He shakes his head confirming that it is not the issue. "No... everything's fine. There's no problem. I just want to look at you... I guess?"

I chuckled. "And don't stare for so long, I might kiss you."

His eyes widen. "Oh feisty, Cosette, Adie's here, don't tempt me like that."

I laughed so hard and rolled my eyes. "Oh please, Cashel. You don't even care when there's million people watching us. You would definitely do it without hesitation. I feel in that way, kilalang kilala na kita."

"There's more you don't know about me, Cosette and you might like it so be careful 'cause you might trip and fall."

"Kuya... Ate?"

Sabay kaming napalingon ni Cashel sa backseat nang magsalita si Adeline.  Nakakunot ang noo niyang nakatingin sa main. BIgla akong binalot ng hiya. I felt embarrassed. I really shouldn't be acting like this in front of her little sister.

"Yes, Adie?" Cashel asked.

"Quand allons-nous partir?"

"Maintenant!" sagot ni Cashel. "Be ready, we're going to Beaujolais."

He started the car and drove away. He puts music on and that made us feel entertained while we travel down the road. It would be a four-hour drive at kung papalarin we would be there right before or after lunchtime.

I keep myself busy by looking at every building we're passing by. Naaaliw lang ako dahil hindi ko pa naman halos napupuntahan lahat ng lugar dito sa Paris. I only have a few destinations every day for my routine. To eleventh down to fifteenth and if I have a chance I'll be in the sixteenth when I'm visiting Cashel to their apartment.

I know in the coming days mapupuntahan or most likely maliligaw. There's a lot of beautiful cities in France such as Bordeaux, Marseille, Strasbourg, Nice, and many more. And I still got a year to explore France and not just Paris.

 But Paris is where my heart belongs.

When we're midway out of Paris and it's only been an hour and we still got a long way papunta Lyon. And we know we're already out of the city kapag halos open fields na ang nadaraanan namin. And it's nice how peaceful nature it is. Masarap manirahan sa ganitong lugar. Walang mga plastik na chismosang nakabantay sa paligid.

I checked Adie behind us kasi napansin kong nananahimik na siya. Nang lingunin ko siya, nakita kong mahimbing siyang natutulog sa pwesto niya.

"Cash, Adie's sleeping..." pagpapaalam ko sa kanya.

Tiningnan naman niya ito mula sa rearview mirror. "Oui. She's been sleeping for like half an hour now. I woke her up early up so she could fix the things she wants to bring. She's excited though, she slept so late last night."

"Oh... about last night, Cash..."

He smirked. "What about last night, Cosette?"

"I feel like you know it already," sagot ko sa kanya.

"Je ne sais pas," maang-mangan nitong sagot sa akin. "I have no idea what you're talking about, babe. Would you please tell me? I would like to know what happened last night."
