10 Chapter 10 Off To Dale City

"Isn't he handsome, Elle?" Andrew suddenly asked as he swerved right away from Crimson Hotel. Elle just gave him a quick smile, rolling her brown eyes. She's combing her long, straight brunette hair, reaching almost her waistline. "I got this feeling inside my bones. It goes electric, wavy when I turned it on.." Elle sang at the top of her lungs, also danced to it. "All through my city, all through my home," Drew continued. "I got that sunshine in my pocket, got that good song in my feet," Elle sang happily, snapped her fingers. "Yay! Elle is so happy. Maybe in love too!" He said teasingly. "Nah! Not in my mind for loving, Drew!" She snapped. "James really likes you, Elle. He even asked your digits," Andrew said, giggling. "Focus in driving, Drew," Elle gave him a wink and smiled. They both became quiet inside the white SUV car. Elle took a nap while on travel. "Ring.. Ring..Ring." "Elle, your phone is ringing," Andrew announced as he glanced at her. Elle opened her eyes a little while groping inside her bag. "Hello, who's this please?" She asked as she answered the call. "Hello Elle! It's me, James." The other line replied. "Oh James, what's up?" She asked. "Are you now in Dale?" He asked back. "Almost, 45 minutes more before reaching the boundary," Elle answered. "Okay, keep safe. I'll talk to you tomorrow. I know you're tired now because of long trip. Rest well," James said in a concern voice. "Thanks James," Elle replied simply. I'll hang up now. My phone's battery almost low," she added. "Okay, Elle. Thank you for accepting my call," he said smilingly. "No worries. Bye." She said. The call ended.

"It's James?" Andrew asked. Elle just nodded. "See, he really likes you, Elle." He blurted out. "Let's see, James," she said dryly. "Wake me up if we're in Dale already," she commanded while getting back to sleep. "Yes, Mademoiselle!" Andrew said, smiling widely. He drove moderately, not so fast nor slow. It was almost hitting sunset and few more minutes, Dale City would appear in their own very eyes. Elle took a nap silently. Andrew sang while driving. "See you next time, Ridgeland!" He said with a sigh.
