When You Were Mine

Chapter 5

"IT'S LIKE you're asking for it." He said.

"Asking for what?"

He cupped the back of my head and capture my lips.

My eyes widen when his lips touch mine, it was soft and warm against mine. I gasped when his hold tighten, biting my lips and his tongue playing inside my mouth. My eyes remained wide open not believing what is happening.

He's kissing me! Dan is kissing me and it's my first kiss!

Sa na-realize ay tinulak ko siya ng malakas palayo dahilan para mapaupo ako sa damuhan. I was breathing hard catching my breath and so was he.

"Princess..." Lumamlam ang nga mata niya ng makita ang pagtakas ng luha sa mata ko.

Mabilis ko iyon pinunasan. "S-sorry." Nagmamadaling tumayo ako at tumakbo palayo sa kanya, stumbling and clumsy.

"Kathy!"

I heard him call pero hindi ko na inabala na lingunin pa kung sumunod ba siya instead ay mas binilisan ko ang pagtakbo para mas mapalayo sa kanya. Hindi ko na alintana kung mukha akong baliw na umiiyak habang tumatakbo.

Pumasok ako sa nadaanan na rest room, may dalawang babae sa loob na gulat na nakatingin sa akin at sa itsura ko, dumiretso ako sa bakanteng cubicle at naupo sa bowl, sumubsob ako sa mga palad ko at tahimik na umiyak.

He kissed me! Any other girl would have feel delighted kapag hinalikan ka ng lalaking gusto mo but why do I feel another way? It was my first kiss at kahit sinong babae naman siguro ay gusto na maging espesyal ang unang halik nila and Dan snatched it away from me.

Ganoon na ba ako kahalata sa pagkakagusto ko sa kanya? Ganoon ba ako kamukhang desperada pagdating sa kanya so he decided to play with me? I never thought of him na ganoon siyang klaseng lalaki na paglalaruan niya ang nararamdaman ko sa kanya, maybe I put him on such a high pedestal only to be slapped with the truth.

May kumatok sa cubicle ko. "Miss? Are you okay?"

Suminghap ako. "Y-yes..."

"You sure?" Isa pang boses, I guess they were those two girls na napasukan ko.

Tuluyan na akong napahikbi. "No..."

Narinig kong bumukas sara ang pinto and another familiar pair of shoes stopped in front of the closed cubicle I was in.

"Kathy are you okay? Can you open the door?" A frantic knocked and voice coming from Mara.

"Kanina pa siya dyan hindi lumalabas." Sabi ng boses ng babae na kumausap sa akin kanina.

"Ganoon ba? Ako na bahala. Thank you."

I heard the rest room's door open and closed, marahil ay lumabas na ang dalawang babae kanina.

"Kathy ano ba nangyayari? Sabi ni Daniel puntahan kita dito kasi umiiyak ka daw."

Natigilan ako sa pangalan na binanggit niya. "Si Dan?"

"Oo he actually begged me to check on you."

Huminga ako ng malalim. "Is he there?"

"No he left already before I enter the rest room, may klase pa daw siya."

Para akong nakahinga ng maayos, I don't think I can face him again.

"Ano ba kasi nangyari? Why are you crying? At bakit ka nagtatago dyan?"

"I--ah--" I don't know how will I tell her that Dan kissed me and that's why I'm crying. "I fell."

"What?"
