Lights Off

Chapter 28

Kara's POV

"Where's my kiss?"

I rolled my eyes at mahinang sinapak ang mukha n'ya.

She chuckled and pulled me for a hug na ikinapikit ko. I hug her with the same gentleness as our heart beat in sync.

"I don't like her..." Bulong n'ya na ikinakagat ko sa aking ibabang labi dahil sa mismong gilid ng tainga ko s'ya bumulong.

Her warm breath brings chills on my body making me shiver sonorously.

"Si Drei?" Tanong ko na ikinatango n'ya. She then place her head between my neck and shoulder until I started rubbing her back. "Hindi ko naman s'ya gusto."

"Who do you like then?"

I grinned. "Kumain."

Buhat sa sinagot ko ay mahinang umungot ito at nakasimangot na tiningnan ako. I chuckles and pinch her cheeks. Maingat na inabot ko rin ang kan'yang kamay at pinagsiklop sa akin.

I love how the warmth of her body brings comfort on me.

"I ask who and not what, Kayleigh." Angil n'ya na ikinahagikhik ko.

"Eh? Talaga ba?" Asar ko pero seryosong tiningnan n'ya lamang ako hanggang sa nawala ang ngiti sa aking labi. She started walking forward and taking steps to reach me kaya sa bawat paghakbang n'ya ay ang pag-atras ko.

Until I felt how my hamstring brushes against the side of my bed.

God.

Nang wala na akong maatrasan ay saka ko nakita ang pagtaas ng gilid ng kan'yang labi. She bend over and corner me in between her arms hanggang sa mapaupo ako sa kama at napatingala sakan'ya.

She's hovering over me and I can't do anything about it because I was trapped in between her hands that are both place at my sides. I bite my lower lip as I threw my head up and look directly at her eyes.

Imbis na mailang sa posisyon naming dalawa ngayon ay nagawa ko pang ngumiti ulit at pantayan ang intensidad ng kan'yang mga mata.

"Stop doing that." She whispered as she hold my chin and let her fingers run up to my lips and stop me from biting it.

My eyebrows hike by dint of her action. Matamang tinitigan ko s'ya sa mga mata hanggang sa bumaba ang aking tingin sakan'yang labi.

I gasp and eyed it intently. My jaw clamp when she lick her lower lip and push my chin up to meet my eyes. I get to look at her eyes again but this time, it is zealous than the first one.

"Kiss me." I breathed.

The raging fruition crosses her eyes, ergo, she tout de suite distant herself and crease her forehead.

"Val," tawag ko pero umiling lamang s'ya at maliit na ngumiti.

"Label." She mouthed.

I playfully rolled my eyes at muling tumayo matapos n'yang ilahad ang kan'yang kamay para tulungan ako. Mabilis na tinungo ko ang full-length mirror at sinuri ang aking kabuuan.

"Your dress is going up, missy." Puna n'ya kaya napapailing na hinila ko pababa ang aking suot bago napatingin sa isang cabinet kung saan ko itinago iyong sage green envelope kung saan nakapaloob ang USB na nakita ko.

I let out a deep sigh before walking towards it, planning to take out what I've found and give it to whom it should belong.

"What's that?" Nangunguryosong tanong n'ya nang harapin ko s'yang muli bitbit ang aking ibibigay. Mabilis na nag-iba ang kislap ng kan'yang mga mata nang makita ang hawak ko at madahang pinadaan ang kan'yang mga daliri para abutin ito mula sa akin.
