"What are we doing, Phin?"
Despite having asked the question, all Bua could see at that moment are the full lips getting closer and closer, so close that it almost made her breathless.
"Tell me, is this what they call 'opening your heart'?"
Phinya get even closer, and the space between their lips is almost nothing. Bua, half lying down and half sitting on the sofa in her own living room, felt Phinya's left arm gently resting on her back.
"We are just two people who can't stand each other..."
Bua murmured, as if she's trying to convince herself.
"And how can someone who can't stand me want me to stop?"
There was a moment of silence on Bua's part.
"No."
The answer come, and the tone of her voice is not just a denial, but rather an permission. And then, before Bua could react, she feels Phinya's burning and eager lips press against hers, leaving her completely without the strength to resist. Within seconds, Phinya slowly pulled away.
"I'm not sure what I'm doing."
This time, it's Phinya who seemed hesitant, as if for a brief moment she stopped to think about what was happening, almost stepping back, but Bua's hand on the back of her head stopped her from going.
"Not yet..."
Bua whispered with a trembling voice
"I haven't kissed you back yet."
The previous hesitation is broken by those words.
This time, Phinya let Bua do whatever she wanted. Her body and lips moved towards Bua as if she has lost control.
Even though she isn't sure what that mean, she just followed what her heart asked. They had always been rivals, always teasing each other... But why, after that last meeting, where one couldn't stop thinking about the other, did things get to this point? Bua was kissing... Phinya, the same temperamental and loud Phinya that before she could barely bear to look at or get close to, because she irritated her so much. And it seems that the situation would only get worse, as neither of them seem to want to hold back. One of Phinya's hands begin to slide under Bua's favorite pajama shirt.
For a moment, she wanted to stop Phinya, surprised by what's happening, but in the next second, she let herself go and even stand up slightly, allowing Phinya to take off her shirt voluntarily.
"Are you sure, Bua?"
Phinya's husky voice whispered the question.
"And you?"
Bua returned the question.
"I want to try."
Phinya's nose brushed Bua's neck, followed by a soft kiss. She lightly rested her hand on Bua's left shoulder before lifting herself up a little to look at her colleague below.
"Anyway, we won't like or hate each other more than we already do."
Phinya's lips come down again, gently touching the side of Bua's face, as if she could no longer contain herself.
"And since we've come to this point, why don't we try... doing something different together? Who knows, at the very least... it's a win win."
Phinya's words make Bua stare into those dark eyes.
"Fair enough.
She replied after a brief pause.
"I still don't like you."
