his innocence

Chapter 27

Tama nga ang sinasabi nilang, "Time flies fast when you're happy and contented."

Ilang araw nalang g-graduate na kami ni Gaddiel ng High School. Yep, and it was my grand debut last week. That makes me 18 now and Gaddiel's still 17.

Inilapit ko ang mukha ko kay Gaddiel. I was staring intently at his red lips. I saw him swallowed hard. Kapagkuwan ay bigla niyang ipinikit ang mga mata niya.

I grinned evily. Inabot ko ang tissue saka pinunasan ang sauce sa gilid ng labi niya.

Mabilis na napamulat si Gaddiel at gulong-gulo akong tiningnan. Then he blushed when he saw my teasing expression again.

"You really think I'll kiss you?" sambit ko pa.

Hindi siya nakapagsalita sa kahihiyan kaya natawa ako.

"I told you, you're a minor Gaddiel. If I kiss you with or without your consent right now, it'll still be a law violation... right?" I said cooly. Talk about humoring myself. Really, Kye?!

"I know..." Mas lalo lang siyang namula at halos itago na sakin ang mukha.

I bit my bottom lip to supress my laughters. Bakit tunog sobrang disappointed ka ngayon Gaddiel? Parang dati pinipilit pa kita para lang maghalikan tayo tapos ngayon...

Halos dalawang taon na ang lumipas pero parang anghel parin talaga si Gaddiel. Sobrang bait parin, masunurin at sobrang clueless parin sa ibang bagay. But I don't care, that's what I like about him anyway.

"But we can hold hands..." I said to Gaddiel as if I'm suggesting. I even offer him my hand.

He look at it but his face still looks disappointed. Hindi ko na mapigilang matawa sabay bahagyang hampas sa balikat niya. Nasapo niya naman iyon agad habang lukot ang mukha sa akin na aliw na aliw sa kanya.

"Oo nga Gaddiel ano? Isang buwan na yata tayong di nagki-kiss. Kahit gusto ko, ayaw naman kitang pilitin pag ayaw mo kaya hintayin nalang natin na mag 18 ka rin. Yeah? What can you say?" I teased him even more.

Inilapit ko rin ang mukha ko sa kanya kaya nag-iwas siya ng tingin.

"I never said I don't want i-it."

He's right. He never said he doesn't want it. Pero dapat asarin parin si Gaddiel para masaya.

"Hmm... e bakit noong nasa inyo tayo? 'Yong sa kwarto mo, I kissed you there then I tried to took off your shirt, then you almost fainted again. Your expressions says it all, Gaddiel." sabay kibit-balikat ko. Parang wala lang pero ang totoo ay natatawa parin talaga ako sa pangyayaring iyon.

Nasa chest na ang halik ko no'n e! Tapos bigla siyang mamumutla at manlalamig! Nakakainis na nakakatawa lang ang boyfriend ko. Parang ang hard hard ng chest niya e sobrang soft naman.

I chuckled when I remember it again.

"B-because we're in my room. What if o-our parents caught u-us?" Gaddiel defend himself innocently.

"We're in a relationship, natural lang na mag-kiss tayo." giit ko rin.

Bumagsak ang balikat niya. Alam kong di na yan hihirit pag ganyan. He pursed his lips and look away. He even played with fingers on his lap.

"T-then why can't we... k-kiss right now?"

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. Sa gulat at kilig ko sa sinabi niya ay nahampas ko na tuloy talaga siya.

"Ahh," daing niya habang sapo ang braso.

Parang tanga to si Gaddiel. Nakakainis.

Ramdam ko ang init sa magkabilang pisngi ko kaya napasapo ako roon. Damn.
