Be With You

20

I'm definitely lying if I would say that I didn't think about what happened in the kitchen.

What happened between me and Quen.

That lingering kiss beside my lips.

Because right now, that is all I could think about.

The feeling of his hot lips against my skin.

Oh God.

"Sis, okay ka lang?" Jane touched my arm to get my attention.

After that flirty encounter, Quen pulled me to go back with our friends. My head is still not functioning right, trying to process what happened. Part of me was worried that someone might see us, the other part was curious about what he just said before he kissed me.

What did he mean by 30% of downpayment of what he just did? Quen sometimes told me things that I didn't really understand.

Can't he just tell me directly?

Hindi naman ako slow but when it comes to him my mind sometimes goes blank.

"I-i'm okay." Forcing a smile just to answer Jane.

When I took a quick peek of Quen he was now laughing and having fun with the boys while drinking.

I pouted when my eyes darted to his lips.

Kira, stop.

Why is it so unfair? He looks so chill and cool like nothing happened while here I was panicking internally!

Pero diba dapat ganito nga kami diba? We shouldn't be obvious? Minsan naiinis na rin ako sa sarili ko.

This is not the first time that a guy flirted with me or kissed me but with Quen everything I felt was new.

It was foreign.

The funny thing is...I want more.

I want to feel more of that foreign feeling.

"Sheen's almost here!" Ysa announced standing at the back of the door and peek through the window that was covered by a large curtain. "Ready?"

All of us nodded and went to our position in our hiding place. I was leaning on the wall near the living room when I felt a familiar touch against my waist and another on my hand.

I froze.

"Shhh. Don't make noises. Our friend might hear us." Quen chuckled after he whispered on my ear.

How did he get here on my side that fast?

I didn't shoot him a glance, instead I gaze at our friends who are too concentrated on hiding.

I bit my lower lip when he drew circles on my palm.

"Quen." I tried to pull away my hand but he didn't let me.

He grinned like a kid and pointed to the door.

"Sheen is about to enter that door. Focus on that. We need to surprise her."

I rolled my eyes and do what he just told me but I was still distracted that he keeps on playing with my hands.

Quen let go of it when Ysa called my name.
