Chapter 20

"W-what?" I asked. I was sure na naka-open naman iyong aircon. Centralized naman iyong buong unit, but why did I suddenly feel so hot?! And it wasn't helping pa na Finley's literally standing right in front of me. I knew that I could try to push him away... but I kinda didn't want to?

Masama ba 'yon? Why? Boyfriend ko naman siya! It's not as if I plan to kiss someone else's boyfriend! This is my boyfriend!

"Kiss," he said.

I didn't know what came into mind, but I stood on my tippy toes and planted a quick kiss on his lips.

"There," I said as I averted my gaze. Why was I so shy?! Nauna naman siya na i-kiss ako! If any, gumaganti lang kaya ako!

Finley wasn't saying anything, so I was kinda forced to look at him. And the moment our eyes met, I regretted it! He was looking down on me because he was taller than me. His left brow was slightly arched like he was kinda mocking me for giving him a peck on the lips. Why?! That was literally my second kiss kaya!

"W-what?" I asked. Why was I stuttering?!

"I said until our lips feel sore," he said.

My god.

How could he say things like this to me?! My face felt so hot!

"The dinner—"

"I did say sorry about the dinner," he said, cutting me off.

I tilted my head, so I was looking up at him. Big mistake! He was staring at me still. He's so, so, so shameless!

I told myself to reign it in. First girlfriend ako ni Finley... for sure, ako rin ang first kiss niya. I was like 99% sure. Finley didn't seem like the type of guy who'd kiss random girls.

And since first kiss niya rin ako, for sure he's just teasing me! I mean, it's both our first kiss! He didn't mean it for real that we'll kiss until our lips feel sore... right?

"Yeah, right," I said, mustering all the courage I could find.

"What?" he asked.

"You're all talk," I replied.

He arched his brow like he's amused. "You think?"

"Yes," I said, fighting back as I stared at him, too. He was just probably teasing me or getting back at me since I ditched him sa game niya! Bakit naman niya ako i-ki-kiss kasi ngayon? Ni hindi man lang ako naka-ayos unlike kapag nasa school kami or wherever where I took time talaga to look cute for him.

But all my words and thoughts were forgotten when he held my chin up with his right index finger. Nasa gilid ko pa rin iyong left hand niya. I was like a hostage!

"You don't think I'd do it?" he asked.

"N-no," I replied.

"Why the hell not?"

"Because."

"Because what?"

"Because..." I said and then paused kasi bakit biglang wala na akong maisip? Gosh! Of all the times that my brain would give up on me, why ngayon pa?!

"Because?"

"I don't look cute right now," I said na lang kasi wala na akong maisip.

"Are you kidding me?" he asked, his forehead creased like he was even offended with my answer. He placed his hands on both my sides again, rendering me trapped. He was looking down on me... and gosh, why was this so hot?! Why did I feel like we're some characters in a movie?!
