I Am a Woman

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Right on her special day, in this special moment, I gave her a special gift.

A kiss.

My first kiss.

I have never kissed anyone before. Back in those days, I always wondered what it felt like to be kissed by a man. I always dreamed of being a princess kissed by her prince. But I didn't expect that I would experience it with a woman, who also happened to be someone I unexpectedly liked.

Feeling Verra's lips against mine, I can't feel anything other than my raging heart. The feeling is too much that I can't even think straight. I'm losing my mind.

I can't even think of any similes or metaphors to describe this feeling.

No doubt, I like her...so much.

When I pulled back, the vivid image of her beautiful face appeared in my sight. Nang buksan nito ang kanyang mga mata ay nakita ko ang pamilyar na kislap nito. Pero mabilis rin iyon mawala at napalitan ng ibang emosyon. It is an emotion that I least expected.

Nagsalubong kasi ang kilay nito at tila pantay na linya ang mga labi. Sa halip na tuwa ay mukhang nainis ito sa ginawa ko.

"That's it?!" She half-yelled.

"H-Huh?" Naguguluhan kong tanong dito.

"I waited for that for such a long time, and you just gave me a peck? A damn peck?!" She said hysterically.

Ako naman ay napaawang ang mga labi. I almost lost my mind in that light sweet kiss, and she just called it a peck.

But before I could even react, Verra pulled me close again and claimed my lips.

Tila natuod ako sa sariling kinatatayuan at hindi makagalaw dahil sa ginawa nito. Naramdaman ko ang pagpulupot ng mga braso nito sa leeg ko bago igalaw ang kanyang mga labi.

Kung kanina ay halos mawala na ako sa katinuan, ngayon ay alam kong tuluyan na akong nawala sa sarili.

Her lips are soft and sweet. The rumbling inside me became more intense that I felt like I couldn't breathe. This feeling is divine.

I let myself lose my mind and let my heart and lips dance with her rhythm.

For the second time, we kissed—a passionate one.

It's been days since that kiss happened, and I just find myself often daydreaming about that special moment. I don't think I could ever take it out of my mind because that kiss is too sweet and magical.

Since that special day, Verra has become more affectionate. Or is it also me? But one thing is certain: we can't go through the day without seeing and talking to each other.

"Why don't you just give me a quick kiss?" Verra asked for the nth time. Para itong bata na nanghihingi ng candy.

Hindi ko ito pinansin at inayos na lang ang mga gamit para makaalis na agad sa office. Maaga kasi itong pumunta dito sa Seriantel Corp. matapos kong sabihin na hindi ko siya masusundo agad. Just like usual, she greeted me with her sweet smile and asked me multiple times for a kiss.

"You're so madamot. I'm just asking for a quick kiss." Nakasimangot nitong saad at humalukipkip.

"I'm not madamot!" Masungit na sambit dito.

"Why are you so grumpy, honey?"

Nang hindi ako sumagot sa kanya ay hinawaan nito ang kamay ko at mukha para iharap sa kanya.
