Lie To Me novel Chapter 48

I didn't comment 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 ka lang," 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 talaga 'yung giniling nila. 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.

"Because you are also the type of a woman who needs someone to take care of you. A woman becomes strong and tough because they don't have someone who can they lean on, someone who will take care of them when bad days come. 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.
