Chapter 48: 48


    I didn''tment to his remarks and instead, I turned my back and get in to my car. Laughingly, he


    followed me.


    I drove him to where his care was parked and after that, we convoyed to the nearest 7/11.


    Inside, we bought two cup noodles, donuts, two cans of beer and some other snacks that I don''t think


    we can eat.


    "These will kill our kidneys," he said.


    I shrugged. "I didn''t ask you to buy whatever I will be buying. Gaya-gaya kang," I said.

    "Because, I don''t have any idea which I will buy," he answered.


    I arched my brow. "I thought you ate here?" I asked, staring at him judgmentally.


    "I do! But not these. I like their ready-to-eat food," he answered defensively. "Though, their giniling is


    really annoying." He added.


    I couldn''t disagree though.


    Totoo naman kasi. Nakakainis naman tga ''yung giniling n. Parang ayaw mag pakain.


    In the end, Elijah still ate the food we bought and I can see that he enjoyed it.


    "You don''t like fancy things, no?" He asked out of the blue.


    I shrugged. "It''s morefortable in simplest things. I hateplications," I answered.


    He nodded. "I''m going to take note of this," he said.


    I snorted. "Epal mo," I said.


    He smiled. "You know, I really like you. You are always simple. You always makes me wonder what


    would it like to have met you earlier. It would definitely fun. I mean, you are so fun to be with. I can''t


    stopughing or smiling whenever you are around," he said.


    "What am I, a clown?" I asked, arching my brow.


    Heughed again, shaking his head. "That. That''s what I meant. I mean, you are so different from the


    women I met before. You are so feisty. You are the kind of woman that can fight for herself; the kind of


    girl who doesn''t really need a man to in her life." He said.


    "Why are you trying to get in my life if you knew that I don''t need any man in it?" I asked.


    "Because you are also the type of a woman who needs someone to take care of you. A woman


    bes strong and tough because they don''t have someone who can they lean on, someone who will


    take care of them when bad dayse. And I want to be that person to you; that someone whom you


    can lean on whenever you feel like you need one. Someone you can be dependent on," he said.


    I smirked. "Why do you think I need someone else to lean on when I have my friends with me?" I


    asked. "It doesn''t have to be someone else, Elijah. I always have Hanz and Reysa, my other best


    friend, who have been with me through my ups and downs," I said.


    Elijah shrugged. "Your friends will surely have their own life sooner. It''s different to have your own


    person in whatever circumstances," he said.


    I stared at him. "You will really going to push it, won''t you?" I asked.


    Elijah licked his lip and bit it, stopping himself to smile. "Because, I want to be that person for you," he


    said with a wink.
