The Way I Need You

Chapter 18

PETE

I know Kao is someone special to me and him telling me that he likes me seems to open so much more possibilities.

His soft unmoving lips touching mine feels so nice, I envelope his lower lips between my mouth sucking it slowly. He seems to freeze at first but after a few soft movements from me he is starting to gingerly copy what I was doing.

I move my right hand to his hips pulling his body closer to mine, his right hand holding my upper left arm while his other hand is lying flat on top of my chest.

After a few more seconds of sucking and kissing Kao detached his lips from mine to catch his breath, I smiled at that before giving him one more peck on his lips.

That seems to wake him up and realized what just happened. His eyes bulging out, trying to step out of my hold but I didn't let him.

"Pete." He calls my name in a whisper.

"Hmm?" I look at him smiling.

"You kissed me." He said, still in a very low voice.

"Yes, I know. I was there." Kao suddenly hit my chest.

"Peeeete." I can't help but chuckle.

"Haha. Now my cute Kao is back. Don't do that again okay?" I say, pinching his cute nose. We are still standing near the entrance of my unit.

"You mean the..hmm..kiss?"

"What? No." I pulled him to the living room, so we can sit together in the sofa. "Don't avoid me, I don't like it a bit."

"I'm sorry." He says as he sits beside me, hands on his laps fidgeting.

"Just don't do it again." He nodded his head, still just sitting there looking at his hands on his lap.

"What's the matter? I though we're okay now?" I ask frowning.

"Why did you kiss me?" He asks instead still not looking at me.

"'Because I wanted to."

"Did you do that because I said that I like you?"

"No." I firmly say, "Kao, you know you're someone special to me. I don't treat others like how I act towards you." Well it is true. I know I do whatever I like and doing things with Kao is what I like. I didn't give it much of a thought, but now that this is out in the open why not just admit it to myself and Kao that it is something special.

"But you're not gay." Taking a deep breath, readying myself for the talk.

"Are you?" I ask him instead.

"Is liking you means that I'm gay?" Even though he was not facing me I can see him frowning, as if thinking so hard.

"I don't know. Why are you even concerned about that? It's just technicalities, you like me, I like you. End of story." I answered him, why make things complicated, right?

Kao then finally lift his head and look at me, surprise written all over his face.

"You like me?"

"Oyy Kao, we already kiss what else do you want me to say?" I picked up one of the decorative pillows and throw it at him.

"I can kiss you one more time to prove it." Kao face turned all red after I said that, with his light skin it was too obvious.

"Hahaha Kao you look like a tomato."

"You are just teasing me!" He huffed and throw back the pillow at me.

"Serves you right for avoiding me." Rolling my eyes as I put back the pillow to its place. After that, I turned my attention back at him, I looked at Kao straight in his eyes to let him know that I'm serious. "You know me Kao. I do whatever I like, and I like being with you. This is all new to me and you, but can we do this together?"
