What if bumalik ang greatest love mo?

Chapter 12- Burning desire

I lay her on the bed, slowly, and i can feel her gaze following me.

"Bakit?" i asked her as i take off her shoes and fix her things on the table.

Tumagilid sya at napahawak sa pisngi nya habang nakatingin sakin. Her cheeks are red and her eyes are like blinking.

"You're cute, Marky." she giggled, as she said in a drunk tone.

"I know, kaya nga gustong gusto mo'ko dati." sabi ko.

I headed towards my closet to get a towel and wet it to wipe her. I moved closer and sat by the edge of the bed, while she adjusted her position, still staring at me.

"So.." her voice.. getting soft.. "You're not really gonna tell me.. what happened to us?" her hands are slowly twirling my hair.

"Bakit ba gusto mo pang malaman?" i asked while i looked at her.

"I just want to know.."

"Our relationship is not normal.... para sa mama mo." sabi ko sabay napaiwas ng tingin sa kanya.

"Kaya.." she sat up

"Kaya ano?" i look at her again.

"We broke up.. kasi 'di gusto ni Mama kung anong meron tayo..?"

she talk as if she understands ang napagdaanan namin..

naalala mo na ba?

"At dahil sa'kin... kaya ka naaksidente Cele.." sabi ko ng mahina..

"So all these years you blamed yourself dahil naaksidente ako?"

oo?

I felt sorry for everything i put you through Celeste. Walang araw na di kita inisip. Kung anong nangyari sayo, pero wala. You didn't reply to any of my messages in the past few years.

"you need to sleep, Cele.. baka hanapin ka bukas ng kapatid mo.." piniga ko yung towel na hawak ko and tumayo ako para ilagay yun sa lababo.

"do you..." habang nakatalikod narinig ko si Cele.. "still love me?" Di ko namalayan na bumangon sya and alli can feel is her arms hugged me from behind.

I felt something in my heart.

Sobra Celeste, kung alam mo lang.

"mahal.." i said then she removed her hands and started to face me.

"mahal pa rin kita.." dagdag ko pa.

I can see her face glisten as the light strikes her. Her lips, still glowing, as if they're seducing me, calling to me. I look into her eyes, and somehow, they tell me to do what I've been holding back.

I didn't even think for a second. I closed the space between us, and suddenly, I could feel her warm lips meeting mine. My hand instinctively moved to her face, gently caressing her cheek as I deepened the kiss. Her skin was soft beneath my fingers, and the way she leaned into me made my heart race.

My hands slid to her waist, and before I even realized it, I was lifting her up. Celeste let out a soft gasp as I hoisted her onto the edge of the sink, her legs instinctively wrapping around me. The cool surface of the counter barely registered as her lips found mine again, this time more intense, more desperate.

I stood between her legs, her body pressed against me, my hands gripping her hips to steady her. She tilted her head slightly, deepening the kiss, and I felt a rush, like the world around us had disappeared. It was just us—no past, no mistakes—just this moment.
