Like Strangers Do

Chapter 14

"You should only drink one bottle, Titania." mariing sabi ni Fabian habang nakaupo kami sa malaking bato. Ilang minuto na kaming nakaupo dito at hindi nag iingay. Ngayon ay nahinto na ang pag tulo ng mga luha sa mga mata ko pero ramdam ko pa din ang sakit. Napatingin ako sa apat na bote ng alak na hindi pa nabubuksan. 

Napatingin ako kay Fabian na seryosong nakatingin sa bawat galaw na gagawin ko. Siguro akala nya isa akong bomba na bigla nalang sasabog. "Will you also cheat on your future wife?" biglang lumabas sa bibig ko ang tanong na iyon. Fabian pressed his lips together. "I won't cheat to her." he mumbled. I smiled at patted his shoulder before drinking the bottle of beer on my hand. Sinandal ko ang ulo ko sa balikat nito.

"Will be future husband will also cheat on me too? Because what I sued to hear from the elders was that what the father did will also be done to the child, so if papa cheated on mama, my husband will also cheat on me. Karma." natatawang sabi ko. Umihop ang malamig na simoy ng hangin dahilan ng pag tayo ng mga balahibo ko sa katawan, naramdaman ko ang pag pulupot ng kamay ni Fabian sa balikat ko at hinila ako palapit sakanya.

"I don't think that's true, there are also many broken families but their children's families are complete and happy. " sagot nito. Tumango ako sa sinabi nito. 

Katahimikan ang mayani sa pagitan namin at tanging tunog lang ng bumubulusok na tubig mula sa talon ang aming naririnig. Napatingin ako sakanya at taka itong tumingin saakin. I studied every part of his face, I really couldn't believe that my friend was one of the El Salvador. I looked down at his pinkish lips, I wondered if he was putting chapstick on his lips. I didn't realize that my finger was already touching his lower lips. Napaawang ang labi ko nang maramdaman ko kung gaano iyon kalambot. 

Bumalik ang tingin ko sa mga mata nito. I saw a unfamiliar way of how he stares at me. "How many women have you kissed?" I whispered to him. I saw his adam's apple moved up and down. I move more closer to his body that we're almost touching each other's shoulder. 

"What are you doing, Titania?" mariing tanong nito saakin. "I'm asking you, Fabian." sagot ko. I felt him squeeze my waist. Binaba ko ang hawak kong bote ng alak at  tumingin sa mga mata nito. I wonder how soft his lips are, how did the women who kissed him feel, are they satisfied? Do they want more? 

I felt the urge to kiss him and answer my own curiosity. I licked my lower lips before biting it. I leaned forward and touched his lips using mine, it only last two seconds but the electrifying feeling remain inside my body, the tingling sensation makes me excited. I looked at him and he looked shocked because of what I did but I don't feel guilty about it because the questions running through my mind are now answered. 

Even though our lips touched for only two seconds I could feel how soft it was. I licked my lower lips and looked again. 

"I-it's soft" nauutal kong sabi. He licked his lower lip, I don't know if it's just me but the way he licked his lips seems so sexy to me. I want more... I leaned forward again and kiss his lips, unlike earlier the kissed last longer, we both didn't move and just feel each others lips. I felt him squeeze my waist and my mouth parted because of it. I moved away because of shocked. That feels hot.

I read so many book about romance and I know where this is going, but I'm not prepared because this is Fabian, my best friend but something inside me wants all of him. 

"I-I want...more" mahinang bulong ko. I saw a flashed of hunger in his eyes before looking away. "You're drunk, Titania." mariing bulong nito. I shakes my head. "I want you!" malakas kong sigaw na halos ma echo na sa buong paligid. Tumayo ito at hinawakan ang kamay ko at hinila ako patayo, halos maginig pa ang mga binti ko mabuti nalang at hawak ako ni Fabian.
