I DIDN'T let the chance to slip, agad ko siyang kinarga na parang bagong kasal at naglakad pa labas ng lugar, hindi alintana yung bigat niya. As our skin touched again, para talaga akong napapaso.
At first she didn't protest pero nung malapit na kaming lumabas ay agad siyang umalma at nagsalita. My sanity came back as I heard her soft voice.
"Saan mo 'ko dadalhin? Kinakailangan ko munang magpaalam sa kaibigan ko," kahit yung boses niya ay parang nanghahalina. Shit talaga, why am I feeling these unexplainable emotions towards her?
It is really my first time to be turned on easily by a girl, I am really insane. I calmed myself and thought straight, I mean I'm not straight, it's just I'm composing my mind. Ibinaba ko siya mula sa pagkakarga at yumuko upang pantayan yung mga mata niya.
"Do you want to come with me?" I asked her to convince myself that I am not doing things against her will. Why am I doing it at the very first place? I don't know, I just love to be with her?! Gosh, I'm getting perplexed by my own actions.
And I'm not going to go beyond without her consent.
Nahihiya siyang tumango at namula yung pisngi niya. I smiled as I witnessed her blush, she's adorable.
"I'm sorry about what I did earlier," I sincerely said, I did lose my mind nung nagawa ko siyang halikan sa labi at maging sa itaas na parte ng katawan niya. Thinking about that makes me feel hot?! Punyemas, sinong hombre ba ang sumapi sa akin?!
Naengkanto ba ako? She's a witch, pero sa ganda niya ay parang hindi naman siya mangkukulam.
I slipped that thought. I held her soft hands and intertwined our fingers. Bahala na si Batman.
"G-ginusto k-ko rin naman." I chuckled as I heard her stutter. She's cute and gorgeous at the same time.
Naglakad kami pabalik sa loob and I saw her friend na ngayon ay nasa bar counter, umiinom kasama ng pinsan ko.
"LETTI!" I shouted.
Kumaway sa akin si Letti at ngumiti naman yung kasama niyang lalaki na kaibigan ni accla, si Brix. I still didn't know this gay's name kahit kanina ko pa siya kasama. He's still the mysterious guy.
"Gosh, I didn't see you kanina nung bumalik ako sa table natin," her eyes landed to the gay beside me at ngumiti siya ng bahagya. She even winked na para bang may kung anong naisip.
"So, you are with him? You look good together---"
"He's gay for Pete's sake," I said in an almost whisper, natawa naman si Letti sa sinabi ko at umiling-iling.
"Can I take your friend out of here?" Tanong ni accla sa pabaklang boses. Ugh, how can I forget that he's gay?
"Sure, sure. Just take care of my friend at kung hindi mo siya iingatan, then I'll hunt you--"
"Nothing bad will happen, I promise you that Lett." I exclaimed while raising my right hand like stating a pledge. She seems convinced and anytime she'll shriek dahil sa kilig.
"I know, enjoy your night," she added.
"Bro, take care of her and drive her home safely," tugon ni accla sa kaibigan niya, na tinanguan naman nito at nag-fist bump pa sila. Actually, Letti and Brix look good together. They clicked in an instant.
Nagulat ako nang hawakan ni accla yung kamay ko, our hands clasped and all my attentions are drawn to him. He leaned closer to me and whisper something to my ear,
"Let's make this night memorable." My cheeks heated and he grabbed me by my waist at naglakad kami pa labas. Hindi na ako nakapag-paalam ng maayos kay Letti dahil sa hindi ko inaasahan niyang ginawa.
Nang makalabas kami ay tumungo kami sa parking space ng mansion at huminto kami sa nakaparadang big bike.
"Are you truly eager to accompany me?" Dahan-dahan akong tumango habang nakatingin sa kaniya na inaayos yung suot niyang helmet. He looks really manly yet soft, I am mesmerize while staring to his gorgeous face.
I didn't know someone as handsome as him exists, I mean he's just so refreshing and gentle.
"Would you love to have a ride with me?"
I don't know what got into me, puro ako 'oo' at sang-ayon sa mga tanong niya. It feels like being with him will fulfill something in me, I am loving his presence kahit sa kunting panahon na nakasama ko siya.
Pinasadahan ko siya ng tingin habang abala siya sa pagmamaniubra ng makina. Does he really know how to ride a big bike? It's not just a big bike, it's an expensive looking one. I've seen it in a magazine before, it is the Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE na halos sampung milyon ang halaga.
Nagulat ako nang hilahin niya ako palapit sa kaniya at siya na mismo ang nag ayos nung isang helmet na nakasabit kanina sa katabi niyang motorbike. Maybe one of his friends owns it.
Sa lapit namin ay tila may kung anong umusbong na naman sa nararamdaman ko, it's excitement and anticipation.
In a snap, he kissed me swiftly sa tungki ng ilong ko that made me stiffen pero kalaunan ay para akong tangang nakatitig lang sa kaniya. That's just a feather light kiss but my heart thumps erratically. Shit, goodness. Why I am loving this feeling?
I am losing my sanity by his simple and bare minimum gestures, it's just that it's new to me— to feel special and valued coming from a stranger.
"I want you to be comfortable, it's just that I won't harm you," he sincerely said at nakatingin lang ako sa mga mata niya. Is it really possible to fall for someone in an instant?
Sumampa na siya sa motor at sinimulan niya ng paandarin ito. He looked at me like he was waiting for me to straddle kaya umangkas na rin ako, I hesitate to hold him pero siya na yung gumabay sa kamay ko na humawak sa bewang niya.
I gulped, my heart pounds erratically na naman but in a while nung paandarin na niya yung motor ay nakaramdam ako ng security and comfort while almost hugging him.
"Your warmth ease me." I whispered through his right ear. I heard him chuckle na nagpangiti sa akin.
Throughout our ride nakahilig lang yung ulo ko sa likod niya at nakikinig sa mga sinasabi niya. It's my first time na umangkas sa motor, my parents think it is dangerous to ride a motorcycle kaya hindi kami nagkaroon even a bike.
Yet, being with him seems like everything is gonna be beyond okay.
