Glimpse Of Us

CHAPTER 21

Rylie's POV

Ever since, I never even once enter a relationship. And people can't help but wonder why. May mga manliligaw naman daw ako, pero bakit ni isa wala ako sa kanilang sinagot. Most of them came from wealthy family. Some are even the son's of my Dad's business partners. Isa na nga dun si Sebastian. Well, I have my reason naman kung bakit hindi ko sya sinagot.

But aside from him, ang lagi ko lang sinasagot sa iba ay dahil hindi pa ko handa. That I want to focus on myself and studies first. Which is true. Pero hindi lang yun ang dahilan kung bakit ayaw ko pang pumasok sa isang relasyon.

To be honest, sa lahat ng nanligaw sakin, the only person who I seem to develop an admiration with is Sebastian. Sya lang kasi talaga ang nagpakita ng sincerity and effort sakin. While most of them just showered me with expensive gifts. Paulit ulit na lang ang binibigay nila, nakakasawa na. Effort lang at oras ang kelangan ko and not those material things that doesn't even interest me.

That's why never been kiss, never been touch ang laging inaasar sakin nila Avery. Bukod sa wala pa kong nagiging karelasyon, I promised myself that I will give my first everything to the person I'm going to marry.

But that promise seemed to break when I feel a soft, warm thing press into my lips.

I feel my body froze, kasabay ng unti unting pagbilis ng pagtibok ng aking puso. I can even hear my own heartbeat. Tila ba may nagdadrum sa loob nito.

Oh, how I wish she won't hear it.

Mukhang pati sya ay nagulat sa nangyari. Nanatiling nakabukas ang kanyang mga mata habang nakatingin sakin. I can clearly see how confuse and surprise she is based on her reaction.

When I feel like she was about to push me away, that's when I cup her cheeks and pull her closer to me.

I heard her gasp but I just ignore it. I just want to feel her lips press into mine once more. I just want to taste its sweetness for the second time. I want to feel that electric feeling again that flow through my system when that accidental kiss happened.

I gently close my eyes as I savour the feeling. I didn't know that wine can be this sweet. I will never get tired of tasting this over and over again.

The moment I deepen the kiss, that's when I feel her grasp my shoulder before pushing me away. Halos mahulog pa ko sa high chair dahil sa ginawa nya.

She stand up, eyes are glaring at me. "Don't ever show yourself to practice tomorrow or even in my class." She replied coldly before storming out of the kitchen.

Naiwan naman akong tulala at hindi malaman ang gagawin. W-What just happened?

D-Did we just kiss?

Halos sabunutan ko ang sarili ng biglang magsink in lahat ng nangyari. I just did not kiss my Professor!

Damn, what the hell am I even thinking? Para tuloy ako yung nakainom dahil ako pa yung nawala sa sarili.

I sigh before standing up. Do I follow her and ask for forgiveness? Pero ayaw nya kong makita. Siguradong hindi nya din ako pagbuksan ng pinto.

I decided to go to the guest room again and just lay down.

Staring at the ceiling, my mind can't stop giving me flashbacks. I will never forget that reaction she had and how it is visibly written in her hazel orbs.

It's something that I cannot explain.

I put my arm on top of my forehead before closing my eyes. I can almost hear my own heartbeat whenever I remember how that lips felt when that kiss occur. It's somewhat warm and soft.
