Drive Me Crazy, Literally
Dinner
Zade being flirty, the lady driving, Zain barely holding in his excitement, and Ales just trying to survive it all in the backseat.
Zain
(whispering to Ales)
Dada’s gonna marry her. I feel it
Ales
(flat)
He flirts with Google Maps if the voice is sexy
Inside the car. Zade casually leans his elbow near the window, facing the driver with a lazy grin.
Zade
So... mystery angel. Got a name, or should I just keep calling you destiny?
Destiny
Keep calling me that, and I’ll drop you off at the nearest police station
Zade
That’s fine. As long as you handcuff me yourself whether it's for station or bed
Zain
(muttering in backseat)
I can’t—this is not a PG-13 ride anymore
Ales
Close your eyes. Breathe. Imagine puppies
Destiny
(glancing at Zade)
You always this smooth, or just when you're stranded and desperate?
Zade
(shrugs)
It’s not desperation. It’s instinct. Beautiful woman. Long drive. Chemistry. Fate
Destiny
Big words for someone who crashed into a trash can 20 minutes ago
Zade
(grinning)
Hey, that can not came onto me it was zain
Destiny
You talk like you read poetry... and break hearts
Zade
Only those brave enough to get close are you
Zain
(clutching chest dramatically)
I—he's doing it. The thing. The jawline + voice combo. We're doomed.
Ales
(pinching the bridge of his nose)
If he ends up with her number, you owe me ice cream
Destiny
(smiling, slightly blushing)
Well, Romeo, how far you going?
Zade
(sly)
As far as you’ll let me
Zain
(whispers)
We’re either getting kicked out or invited to a wedding
Ales
Hopefully a short drive before either
after sometime when having dinner in a restaurant
Zain
(mouth full of fries)
This is the best day of my life
Ales
You say that every time you get fed
Zain
Because food doesn’t flirt with every human it sees
Zade
(smirking at the woman across the table)
You’re quiet. Regretting letting three disasters in your car?
Destiny
(sipping her coffee)
Still debating. You keep swinging between charming and criminal
Zade
Balance is important. Keeps life... exciting
Zain
(gasp)
Did he just give her the lean-in eye lock?
Ales
Yep. That’s level seven on the Zade flirt scale. Level ten is illegal in most countries
Destiny
(raising a brow)
Exciting gets people arrested
Zade
Only if they get caught. I’m more of a... don’t ask, just run type
Zain
(to Ales)
Should we warn her about the tattoo story?
Ales
Nope. Let her discover that chaos herself
Destiny
(smiling)
You’re dangerous
Zain
Zaddy Dada, behave! Papa's getting third-hand embarrassment here!
Ales
I stopped being embarrassed the day he winked at a police officer to avoid a ticket
Zain
(excited)
Can I get the biggest dessert you have?
Zain
I almost died today. I deserve emotional sugar
Destiny
(to Zade, half-laughing)
Is he always like this?
Zade
(shrugging)
Every hour. Chaos in human form. But we keep him. Somehow
Zain
(mouth full again)
Because I’m cute and I dance when I eat
Ales
And you cry when your food touches other food
Zain
That mash touched my fries! It was traumatic
Destiny
(grinning)
You three are... a lot
Zade
And yet, you're still here
Zade
(eyes gleaming)
Then I better keep making you stay
Outside the diner. The sky is dusky, wind brushing softly. Zain’s licking ice cream like it’s the meaning of life. Ales is watching him like a babysitter on overtime. Zade and the women stand by her car.
Zade
(hands in pockets, playful)
So, this where you leave me broken and dreaming?
Destiny
(smiling)
Not broken. Maybe just... slightly unhinged
Zade
(stepping closer, tone softer)
Only when someone beautiful shows up out of nowhere, saves me, then walks away like a plot twist
