Totally Hooked

Chapter 16: Happiest Time

We were bombarded with question right after we sat down with them. Most of them nanggaling kay Denise at Angel habang pangiti ngiti naman si Shin, his face saying I knew it, while Miggy exchange looks with Vin. Lahat sila ay mukhang gulat nang sabihin namin na kami na pero halatang expected na nilang we'd be together in a long run, hindi lang nila ineexpect na gantong kaaga. Kahit naman kaming dalawa nabigla, but that doesn't mean that I regret the decision that I made.

I keep glancing at the man beside me habang nagdadrive siya and I can't help but smile with the thought that this man is mine. Mine alone. Shucks! May boyfriend na ko. Ngayon lang nagsisink in sakin na sinagot ko na si Vin. Kami na. Girlfriend na niya ko. I have properly given him permission to enter my heart, wreak havoc to my world, and tear it down if he wants to.

"Like what you're seeing sweetheart?" He asked me as he stopped his car in front of my house.

"Shut up." I retorted and rolled my eyes at him. Narinig ko ang impit niyang tawa which earned him another eye roll.

"Sige na, you better head in. May pasok pa tayo bukas, kelangan mong magpahinga." He said then got out of the car at umikot sa side ko para buksan ang passenger side. I got out of the car and he took my hand and we walked towards the front door with my hand enveloped in his.

"Pasok na." sabi niya sakin gesturing towards the door with his lips.

"See you tomorrow." I said with a big smile on my face and was about to open the door when he stopped me.

"Why?" I asked him but he just pouted at me.

"Wala. Wala. Nevermind. I'll pick you up tomorrow." Sabi niya sakin.

"Okay." I replied to him and turned the door knob of our front door. I saw him turn around to go back to his car.

"Vin." I called out to him softly and he turned to me again. I went closer to him and held on to both of his shoulders and tiptoed making our faces inches from each other. I tilted my head slightly and claimed his lips. I was just for a second, just a peck, but I fully understand how soft they were, and I wanted more. I wanted to feel his lips a little bit longer, but I held myself back. I pulled away after the peck and smiled at him.

"Good night!" I said then I quickly went inside the house and closed the door. Dumeretso ako sa kwarto ko, dahil parang hindi ko pa kayang kumausap nang kahit na sino, my face was burning up and there is not a better way to describe what I feel kung hindi kilig. I lay down in the bed with my heart beating so loud na naririnig ko na ito. I couldn't erase the smile on my face, I kept replaying the things that happened today in my head, especially the kiss. It may just be a peck for Vin but for me, it was my first kiss.

I unconsciously traced my lips with my fingers and the feeling of Vin's lips still lingers in my mind. That tempting pinkish lips of a man who is the epitome of temptation for women. The softness of them against my own lips send shivers down my body. I realized that a second-long kiss with him is torture for me. Para akong bata na binigyan nang isang pirasong chocolate that I couldn't help but indulge myself in and I am craving for more. Right now, I can only settle with the memory of my first kiss.

Natigilan ako sa pagmumuni-muni ko nang narinig ko that I received a text and it was from Vin.

{Thank you for the good night kiss sweetheart.}

{Shut up. Matulog ka na nga.} I replied to him

{Kaso bitin ako. I guess I'll just have to wait for tomorrow. See you tomorrow love. Pahinga ka na. Good night sweetheart.} he replied to me and at this point wala na talaga akong control sa mukha ko, my smile just grew wider habang binabasa ko nang paulit uli ang message niya.
