"Mia, can we talk?" I looked at him and then smiled.
"We're talking."
“Mia,”
"Speak up because when the rain stops I'm leaving and I might not be able to wait for what you have to say."
"What happened to you, and how are you?" He asked me one question after another. Only now did I notice that he fled even more. Even as he matured, his frailty appeared more. Maybe because she dressed more formally than before.
“I'm fine, and if you ask what happened to me, the answer is that nothing happened to me. I am still whole and continue to fight.” He looked at me from head to toe.
"You've changed." I laughed and stared at him.
“I know you already know something about what is happening to me and what I am doing. Direct me if you want to know. ”
"Why?"
"What, why?"
"Why did you get into that and how did you get in there?"
I sighed and then inhaled.
"Long explanation and I have no plans to shorten it."
"Mia -----"
"Mia!" Jr. didn’t finish what he was going to say when we heard a shout. Dylan just got off the jeep and looks hot-headed because his forehead is furrowed.
Jr. looked at him as he got closer to us. One did the same but his gaze immediately shifted to me.
"Why did you go to San Juan?" He ask annoyingly obviously didn’t care if anyone else is here with us. Then the voice wasn't loud, it was just a bit angry but didn't shout.
"Marlon was texting, I just passed by," I replied.
"But you didn't go to Vicente and you put that crazy thing first even though you knew he is crazy." His voice was rising a little and obviously holding back his anger. I can’t blame him because Marlon is known as a police asset.
“I didn't go straight to Vicente because I thought it would rain. Do you want to get wet everything I bring?” I was also a little annoyed because he knew it was misting.
"If you hadn't gone through San Juan, you would have come there."
"What is your problem? I can still go there!” then I took a bulk out of his pocket and slapped him on the chest. "Oh! you go there if you want."
He took the item and put it in his pocket and approached me.
"Because you are stupid and you even prioritize those who should not be prioritized.” He raised his hand to slap me. But suddenly someone took his hand so he immediately looked at who it was.
It was Jr. who held him, obviously holding back his anger because he was stunned.
"Don't hurt the woman," he says it holding his anger while staring wickedly at Dylan.
Dylan lowered his hand then looked at me and looked at Jr. again. "Who are you?" he asked annoyed. "Who is this asshole?" he asked me while pointing at Jr.
"My neighbor." I laugh at the answer. Then Dylan looked at him from head to toe and looked at me again.
We both laughed at the same time. I forgot the awkward situation Jr. and I had. Dylan and I laughed because we both knew that he would only do so much and he had no plans to slap me. Especially in front of other people.
"Fuck, superhero neighbor." He laughed out loud while holding his stomach. "It's more stupid than you," he added, referring to Jr.'s assumption that he would hurt me.
"Let's go." I was with Dylan when Jr. suddenly grabbed my hand. Dylan and I looked at him at the same time until his gaze shifted to the hand he was holding in mine. Suddenly I felt nervous because I thought about Dylan.
"Dude, you're holding my girlfriend's hand."
"I just want to talk to your girlfriend," Jr. said but looked at me.
"What if I don't agree and then who are you really?" Dylan asked him. Even before Jr. could answer, I grabbed my hand. They can’t fight because I know they’re both hot but Dylan is more dangerous than Jr because this one can't hold his anger.
"Jr!" even Dylan and I were distracted. We were both shocked when we saw Captain Devera coming with the other guards. But it’s ok because from what I saw earlier on Jr’s face, he is eager to talk to me and I knew Dylan wouldn’t agree.
"Good evening Captain," Dylan greeted the captain with a salute. I smiled at the captain who looked bad at us but looked worse at Dylan.
"What are you doing here?" he asked Dy.
"I'm just fetching my girlfriend," he explained who is now calm.
"Mia ----" Captain called me and ignored Dy.
“Don't worry, Capt. I will stick to our agreement.”
“I believe in you but with your boyfriend no.” Dylan scratched his head. “I understand you, Mia, even though it is embarrassing in my profession because I am a captain but as long as my people are not affected I will keep quiet as I promised you. Just keep your promise too.”
"Yes, don't worry, we will report to you when there is a pusher or usher in our barangay."
The captain knew what we were doing because Dylan used to drive in our area but he immediately stopped when the captain warned him. The barangay is drug-free and when the addict enters, the captain immediately captures them. Imprisoned or rehabbed.
When he saw me with Dylan he immediately confronted me, I could do nothing but admit it and talk to him. He understood our family situation but warned me not to sell her. Because when I do that, he is the one who will report me to the police.
He also warned me that once I used and became a persuasion he would report me. Only in that way can he restore to the people the trust they have given him. To protect our place against drugs. That's why I didn't waste it. We don't release drugs here and we also told Uncle Pao to ban the Sta. Teresita to take him. Fortunately, he agreed.
"Oh Jr., you're here too," the captain asked when he noticed Jr.
"I just stopped here because I noticed Mia," he replied to the captain and looked at me.
"Ah dude, can my girlfriend and I leave because we need to go on a date." I was just shaken by what Dylan said. It was obvious from the way he looked that he wants to tease Jr.
"Let's go," I said to Dylan.
“Can we leave right?” Dylan told Jr.
"Mia ---" Jr. couldn't continue what he was going to say when the captain held him and shook him to let us leave.
"Annoying neighbor." I heard Dylan say. "Neighbor," he added and at the same time we went to the motor and Dylan was the one who drove it fast.
