Iginiya niya ang baywang ko para mapaupo sa hita niya. Binaba ko ang kamay at pinatong iyon sa dibdib niya. He caresses my cheeks and pulled me closer to deepen our kiss. I slightly tilt my head and return his kisses. Ipinasok niya ang dila niya.

Dati ay madalas lang mag-init ang pisngi ko. Ngayon ay tila umaapoy na ang buong katawan ko. I feel like all the butterflies in my stomach are long dead. I feel agitated. I can't get enough of him.

Bumaba ang halik niya sa leeg ako, halos mapaliyad ako dahil doon. Dumadaloy ang elektrisidad mula roon papunta sa puso ko. I like that move so much. It tickles me too.

Bumalik siya sa pag-angkin ng labi ko. And then he stopped. Pinagdikit niya ang noo namin. I opened my eyes. I met his. Para akong tumakbo sa marathon sa hingal. I smiled then bit my lips. We stayed like that for a few minutes. Catching my breath, my heart is beating so fast.

He enveloped me from my waist. Isang beses niya pang dinampi ang labi niya sa akin. It was a light kiss.

"Where do you want to go after this?"

I can't focus because of our distance and his hands on my waist.

"I wanna stay home, do nothing, and avoid socializing as much as possible. I am so drained... but staying home means we won't hang out anymore. I want to be with you pa so I don't know. Anywhere you like."

"Hmm, I don't think I can stay home and do nothing with you," His low voice is really the death of me. I am really attracted to this guy.

I heard him chuckle. He pulled me closer.

"Let's find somewhere quiet then but not home."

I guess time flew so fast when you're having fun. It's already Christmas break. Rai will celebrate Christmas and New Year in his hometown, Saria. Uuwi siya ng December 24. He promised to spend time with me, the day after Christmas. Luluwas siya nang Maynila para puntahan ako at babalik din.

It's just a few days away from each other. Hindi naman siguro malaking bagay iyon. I'm used to being with him every day though. I'm sure time will fly by so fast.

Siguro si Gab na ang pinakamasayang tao dahil nagbakasyon na. He's been so busy. Mas busy pa siya kaysa nung highschool. Kung hindi school works ang pinagkakaabalahan ay mga gawain naman niya sa org. We rarely see each other really. Ganoon siya ka-busy. Even on Sundays where I am mostly free, he's not at home. Mas madalas ko pang makita si Tita Mylene kaysa sa kanya.

"That's why I want to party so bad. Sinabi ko kina Rai na isasama kita sa Christmas Party naming magkakaibigan," Pangungumbinsi niya. I swear, I am still recovering from the socialization I have back in November, "Sasama si Nicole kaya may kasama ka namang babae."

I sighed. If it's just a house party with lesser crowds, I would not hesitate to come. They will party in a club on a Friday. My god. Imagine the amount of people who will go there. Even when I don't really party, I often hear stories from Wendy and Steve. I can't.

"Sa Xylo kayo nagpa-reserve ng table, right? Sa BGC, sobrang lapit sa school. For sure, maraming makakakilala sa akin...sa amin ni Rai."

"Marami naman tayo! Huwag kayong magtabi ni Rai para hindi kayo masyadong halata. Isa pa, kasama mo naman ako. Kung babatiin ka nila, ako na ang kakausap para sa'yo. O kaya hahatakin na kita palayo. Problem solved."

I sighed. "I will go home early," I stated my conditions, "We'll hang out together. Tayong dalawa lang. We seriously need to catch up. Wala na akong alam sa'yo. You're so busy."

"Okay, done deal," Nakipag-shake hands pa siya. Hinatak niya ako patayo sa sofa nila sa living room, "Umuwi ka na sa inyo at magbihis. Sinabi ko na kay Rai na ako ang maghahatid sa'yo roon."
