If you're my girlfriend

When the week of vacation came, the masion was almost silent.

Cedrick and Elise went abroad for vacation. I don't know where they would go since... I am out of their relationship. They will take care of their lives and I will take care of myself. The good is that I can eat and live now.

I combed my hair after showering and changing my clothes. Today is the said day where Trevor and I will go to their province and yes... I agreed to his offer. I agreed on the condition that I would pretend to be his girlfriend there to pretend I was welcome at their family reunion.

I thought about it and realized that he was right... It would be better to take a vacation outside of this city to refresh my brain, so that at least once in a while, I can have peace of mind .

Cedrick didn't know that I would also be leaving this vacation week. I didn't say goodbye anymore because I'm big, I'm old and I believe that the consent of guardian is no longer needed. Trevor will be with me and I'm sure I'll be happy and comfortable as long as he's by my side.

I hope... I hope it's fun there and I hope I don't get hurt.

I walked back to the bed to put a dress I had taken from my closet into the back pack I was going to take with me. Only a few clothes because I think we were only there for three days. I also don't want to take too long because it's embarrassing. I made it a house then.

After I put the shirt in I closed my backpack. I even shook it so it wouldn't be too fat and big when I was going to carry it. I even checked its pocket to make sure I brought the important things I needed. A smile drew on my lips when I realized it was complete and I was ready to leave.

I stood up from kneeling on the bed and grabbed my cell phone from my pocket, going to call Trevor. Because he told me to call him when I'm done taking care of it, so it's me, he's already talking because when I dialed his name, he answered it immediately as if he'd been waiting for the call coming.

"Hi..." His voice was so flirtatious! My throat went dry and my hair stood on end because of the sexy sound of her voice.

"Um, I'm done. Where are you?" I asked and couldn't help but smile as I said each word. I put my left arm on my chest, and walked around inside my room, waiting for his reply.

I heard him laugh on the other line.

"I'm here. Get out." he answered. My eyes widened because it came so fast! I just called and there he was right outside the mansion?! If I'm not mistaken... Maybe he was there a while ago and didn't just tell me not to rush?

I ended the call when there was no voice coming from my cell phone. I held my chest to feel its rapid heartbeat. It's like it wants to break free and will jump outside and just want to get out of this room. It's like he's going crazy thinking... Trevor was already outside waiting for me to come out.

I locked the room and walked straight down the stairs. Even though I was watching every step, my eyes were fixed on the outside, glancing and hoping that my eyes would catch

Trevor from here. I fixed the crutches in my back pack because little by little you slide down my shoulder. And by the time I left the mansion, from where I was standing I could see the man waiting for me.

He was wearing a white sweater and black pants, while his shoes were also white. He waved at me when our eyes met, there was also a smile etched on his lips like mine.

"Hi!" I shouted while waving my hand in the air, now walking towards his place, towards his direction, towards his car.

"Nice color of shirt!" He praised while looking at my shirt. I also looked at my shirt and noticed that I was also wearing white.

"You're like clothes. I'm your idol again?" I grinned widely, teasing him as I walked closer to him.

"Wow." He said in disbelief. My church seems incredulous. "Well, okay, bossed accepted. But I was the one who came here first. Maybe you caught a glimpse of me there from your window, then you changed the color you were wearing earlier to white." he said while shaking his head.

My jaw dropped because of his bragging. I hit him when I got close.

"How arrogant. I didn't even think for a second that you really invested so much time to wait for me here outside the house. Just kidding, I just called earlier, you immediately told me you were here." I followed him around his car to go to the shotgun seat, he opened the door for me to enter. I stopped first and faced him to continue the words.

He's smiling at me now as if he's admitting that he's a loser.

"I just said one thing, come right away. You're not obviously excited to see me, are you?" I will destroy him.

We both got into his car and now we are taking the road to their province. I even connected my cellphone to the bluetooth of his car to play music. It was Taylor Swift's song titled Speak now. I just love that song and it lifts my mood.

While the car was moving, I kept moving my head to the rhythm of the song. Sometimes I also look outside while listening to the music. And I can still hear Trevor singing along. I smiled and turned to him. "You know that?" I asked stupidly.

He looked at me. "Yeah? I'm a fan." he answered.

My mouth rounded. "Wow." I said and then threw my hand up for a high five. He met my palm. "Nice one. Hello co-swifty." I said while staring into his eyes.

He was holding his forehead on the steering wheel. "Well, here since 2014."

"God! Same!" I hit his arm.

He laughed at me. "You seemed so happy meeting your co-swifty." he said.

"You were actually right." I replied. "I never met someone before with the same interest as me." I was shaking my head.

"Well, now we met. Maybe this is the real reason why our paths crossed." he answered.

I nodded. "Yeah right."

"Have you attended a concert before?" he asked.

I immediately shook my head. "Not yet, huh." I answered.

He looked at me with a small smile on his lips. "If you don't mind, we can attend a concert soon. That would be fun." Every word has a smile.

Without even thinking about what he said, I immediately said yes. Why not? Even without seeing the outcome of the concert, I am now believing Trevor that it was fun. So if it happens that Taylor Swift will be back in the Philippines and hold her concert, I will definitely go there with Trevor.

After five hours we both arrived at their province. They were close to the sea so he told me that he wanted to watch the sunset with me. Now I fully understood everything. I didn't make a mistake in being with that man today. He is always full of unexpected things, unexpected doings. Trevor you're awesome.

From inside I can see his other relatives. He was right and it was a family reunion, there were so many members of their clan. I can hear the singing in the video okay and their laughter here coming from the women talking.

Trevor got out of the car first. I was still nervous and my hand was a little cold. What if... they would be able to notice that I am not really the girlfriend of Trevor? What if... They would get mad at me if that ever happened because I lied to them?

"Come on? They're already there." I just woke up from deep overthinking when Trevor spoke. He opened the door on my side and now his hand is out in front of me, waiting for me to take it.

His first smile was hesitant, frugal, and full of nerves before reaching out for his hand. I listened to the laughter of the man with me.

"You are shaking." He stated. "Just relax, Sherin. My aunts, uncle, grandmother, grandfather, cousins and parents are kind. They won't eat you. They won't judge you, okay?" It's comforting.

I sighed and narrowed my eyes at him. "Are you sure?" My voice was full of doubts.

He smiled at me for assurance. It was so sweet. So comfortable. "Yes, you don't have to worry."

I was somehow reassured so I lifted my seat and started to step out of the car. In every move we make, his relatives are watching. I almost backed out and went home but when they smiled at me, all the trepidation I was hiding disappeared.

"I told you, they are kind." It's Trevor.

I just smiled and nodded slowly. He is right. Even though he never lied to me, I was relieved. But he always tells the truth... it's really heartbreaking. I stared at Trevor's image again and my heart couldn't help but to throb twice.

While walking on the sand, his hair was still flying, as was his polo shirt. He looked so clean and fresh with that sight of him. It's heart pounding. Like, handsome, handsome. I immediately looked away before Trevor looked back at me. I don't want him to think that I am attracted to his image. It's embarrassing.

"Who is this beautiful lady?" Those were the words that immediately came to us when we approached the tipon tipon. The old man who spoke just now was still staring at me.

Trevor was still holding my hand and he tightened it even more when I thought he was about to speak. "This is Sherin. She's the one I often tell you about. She's my girlfriend." Trevor introducing me.

I know it was fake. No real factor. And I just couldn't understand why my heart beats as if it badly wanted to jump outside and shout and yell and scream because of the unusual feeling Trevor has been giving me. I don't want to admit it but it's true... it's true... I'm thrilled.

I was thrilled when I was introduced as Trevor's girlfriend in front of his number. Line, all my life, even though it's fake... I thought I would never experience it.

They let us into the room so that we can both rest and because they know Trevor and I are in a relationship.... They let us stay in the same room. Trevor would have protested earlier that we should have separate rooms because he thinks I won't be comfortable, but I stopped him.

I'm fine. And it's not a big deal for me to share a room with him. But I asked him if it was okay with him because he might be the one who is uncomfortable between the two of us so he is forcing me to sleep in the other room but his answer was

to me... Nope, he didn't count on me and he admitted that he was comfortable. The only thing he cares about is me.

He sat on the bed and then lay down. My arms are spread and it seems that I am very tired.

"Sleep first, they're just cooking. They'll start later, I'll just wake you up." Trevor's voice was full of goat as he mentioned them one by one.

My face softened and I got up slightly to look at his condition. He was standing in front of the door while meowing, he also looked tired so he patted my side.

"You're here. Sleep too. I know I'm not the only tired one of us." I said to him and fell back on the bed.

"Uh, no. Feel free to use that alone. I'll just sleep in mommy's room." he answered.

"Are you sure? It's okay with me if you sleep there but it's also okay with me if I sleep next to you. No issues." I added.

I heard the footsteps of his feet slowly approaching me. "Alright. Just here. They might just think that I'm not really your girlfriend." he said while laying down next to me.

I elbowed him and laughed. "Gosh. You want to be next to me too." I teased and lay on my back, facing him.

How many seconds did he keep quiet and not mess with me? It wasn't until I heard his taste and his arm slowly wrapping around my waist that it made my chest beat very fast. I feel like I want to explode for some unknown reason. I felt Trevor moved an inch closer to me as he hugged me, almost a hug if I hugged back. I heard him sigh.

"I wonder how it feels when you really are my girlfriend. I wanted to experience that feeling..."
