Para akong nabunutan ng tinik dahil sa pag-amin na ginawa ko. I feel freer. After the serious talk that we both had, inaliw na namin ang sarili namin, we played on the pool, we were teasing each other. 

"ACHI!" Napahiyaw ako nang lumitaw siya sa likod ko at sinama ako sa paglubog. 

Agad naman ang ginawa niyang pag-ahon at inalalayan ako sa bewan para tulungang bumangon. Pareho kaming tawa ng tawa nang makaahon. I splashed water on him and he did the same, but unlike me, I am splashing roughly while he's just splashing like a kid. 

"Okay, okay, stop" Natatawa kong sabi at saka tumigil sa kakasplash. 

He did not stop, instead, he started splashing roughly, and I could barely open my eyes because of the constant water attacking my face. A moment later he stopped, I opened my eyes and creased my forehead when I saw nothing in front of me. I looked around and when I looked behind me, I was shocked when he grabbed my waist and pulled me to the end of the pool, leaving my back resting on the tiles and him pressing his body on mine. 

"What are you doing?!" I asked and hit his shoulder. 

"Nothing." He smirked. 

His right-hand travels to my skin, and he reaches for my shoulder and slowly and gently caresses it, he then moves his hand down to my arm and the side of my breast, he massages both sides of my breast using both his arms, but he's careful enough not to touch my boob. Napapikit ako dahil sa ginagawa niya.

I must admit, he's good at this. His hand went down to my abdomen, and just like what he did to my shoulder, he caressed it. 

"Hmm" I moaned. Napadilat ako dahil sa ginawa ko at napakagat ng labi. 

I saw him smirked, parang nasisiyahan pang makitang nagustuhan ko ang ginagawa niya. 

"L-lumayo ka nga ng kaunti" Kunwaring naiinis kong sabi bago ko siya tinulak ng mahina at sumunod naman siya pero hawak niya pa rin ang bewang ko.

"You liked it, huh" He teased me. 

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin at pabirong inirapan na ikinatawa niya na lang at nahawa naman ako sa mga ngiti niya. Unti-unting nawala ang ngiti sa labi ko nang mapansin siyang nakatingin ng taimtim sa akin na ginantihan ko naman. Napansin ko ang mata niyang napababa sa labi ko, napalunok ako bago napatingin din sa labi niya. 

Gosh, why am I feeling unusual?

Binalik ko ang mata ko sa mata niya na nakatingin na rin pala sa akin. 

"Achi," Mahina kong sabi. 

"Yes?" His deep and seductive voice is not helping. 

Muling bumaba sa labi niya ang paningin ko, pabalik balik sa mata at labi niya, napansin kong ganon rin siya, na parang nahihirapan. Our eyes locked, sparking with a silent understanding that transcended words. And then, with a whisper of anticipation hanging in the air, I don't know what spirit has gotten into me that I insisted moving a little closer, as he noticed my actions, he swiftly pressed his lips against mine. 

"A-Achi," I said as he moved away. 

Nakatingin lang ako sa mata niya, his eyes are expressive tonight, he's hesitating, asking for permission. I didn't think twice and aggressively pulled him for another kiss, I placed my hands on his shoulder, and our lips tentatively explored the contours of each other's mouths. My fingers tangled in Achi's hair, pulling him closer as I surrendered myself to the intoxicating sensation of his lips against mine.
