Finders, Keepers

"Are you happy, baby?"

Tinanggal ko ang tingin sa mga nagtatawanang mga kaibigan ko at ibinaling 'yon sa kararating lang na si Calian. Sinundan ko nang tingin ang kamay niya na dahan-dahang inaabot ang kanang kamay ko. Hinalikan niya ang likod nito at saka pinagsalikop.

Napapikit ako sa saya at gaan ng pakiramdam matapos maramdaman ang paglapat ng labi niya sa kamay ko.

After a couple of minutes in that position, I finally decided to open my eyes, and Calian's face greeted me. He was smiling from ear to ear. Totoo pala na nakakapagbigay ng liwanag ang ngiti ng tao. It evokes a unique sense of happiness and warmth, much like how Calian consistently makes me feel at peace and at home.

Sinuklian ko ang ngiti niya at saka sumagot.

"I'm more than happy, Calian. Sayang lang at hindi nakasama si daddy. This would've been more fun if he was here." I pouted.

He gave me a concerned look, then moved closer to me. He lifted his free hand and touched my cheeks while his thumb caresses my lips.

"Next time, baby. I'll make sure that we'll go out of town with our families." Aniya sa marahang boses habang patuloy ang paghaplos sa labi ko.

Tumango ako at aalisin sana ang tingin sa kaniya nang hawakan niya ang baba ko at iharap ang mukha ko sa kaniya. I met his gaze and realized that he's looking at my lips. Napalunok ako nang unti-unti ring napunta ang atensyon ko sa namumula niyang labi.

"I-I want to kiss you." I felt my cheeks heated up after saying that.

Damn, I sound desperate. Nakita kong ngumiti siya at muling hinaplos ang labi ko gamit ang hinlalaki niya.

"You don't need to say it, baby. I will always give it to you. " He said while looking into my eyes.

I was just about to answer him when he suddenly wrapped his left arm on my waist, pulling me closer. His warmth immediately enveloped my body when he made one swift move to touch my lips with his. He started giving me feathery kisses until I felt him angling his face to deepen the kiss. My knees began to weaken as his kisses grew deeper and deeper. Napahawak ako sa dibdib niya nang idiin niya pa ang sarili sa akin. Now, making me feel the ripples in his bare chest.

We were in that position until his tongue made its way on the side of my mouth, tasting every bit of it before sucking my lower lip to finally get in. I welcomed his tongue with mine. I can feel his body going tense when his hands roam in my waist.

We're just kissing continuously like that without minding everyone's presence, until I felt him pulling himself away from me. We're both gasping for air after that long and passionate kiss. His lips were red just like his neck and ears.

Umiwas ako ng tingin at itinuon 'yon sa mga taong nakapaligid sa amin. Agad akong nakaramdam ng hiya nang makita ang cellphone ng mga kaibigan ko na kinukuhaan pala kami ng pictures habang nasa gano'ng posisyon.

"Sana all may ka-french kiss." Tumatawang saad ni Blyana habang binababa na ang cellphone katulad nina Anwyn at Ayla.

"Sana all may French." Singit naman ni Ayla habang pinapakita kay Blyana ang cellphone niya.

"M-Mga walang-hiya. Don't you know about the word privacy?" Natatawang saad ko habang nag-iinit pa rin ang pisngi.

Naramdaman kong pumulupot ulit ang kamay ni Calian sa baywang ko habang nakikipag-asaran ako kina Blyana.
