Gotta Be You {Chandara} - COMPLETED

10. HEART ATTACK

"Just shut up and kiss me."

Chanyeol said those words to me in his familiar deep, manly, and powerful voice. My knees almost weakened. Tama ba ang narinig ko? Seryoso ba s'ya?

This is the same Chanyeol I've known since we were kids. Eto 'yung kapreng kapitbahay ko na malaking tenga na parating nakikikain sa amin at hindi nagsasawang asarin ako. Parati s'yang nandiyan to save me, to help me, and to knock some sense out of me. He's now walking towards me, the same Chanyeol, but he's acting different. Different but good different and my heart couldn't help but sigh in anticipation.

He wasn't really all smiles, but those six words didn't sound like a threat at all. It almost sounded like a command, but a tender, almost shy one, that sent a warm fuzzy feeling inside my heart.

It suddenly dawned on me what's happening. Chanyeol came all the way here from Germany just to give me my first kiss. I can't believe sineryoso n'ya ang mga sinabi ko. I can't believe sineryoso n'ya ang mga biro at pang-aasar ng mga kapatid ko. I didn't know it was actually possible. That he'd make it all possible.

All the sudden surge of thoughts swimming inside my head was blocked off completely nang hawakan ni Chanyeol ang magkabilang pisngi ko para iharap sa kanya. Nanginginig ang mga labi ko. Kumakabog din ang dibdib ko. Eto na ba talaga? Totoo na ba?

Gusto ko sanang ipikit ang mga mata ko pero natatakot ako na baka pagmulat ng mga mata ko, wala na s'ya sa harap ko. Na panaginip lang pala lahat nang 'to. And God knows how much I want all of this to be real.

Sobrang lapit na ng mukha n'ya sa mukha ko. I can smell his fresh breath I can almost taste it. Minty. Syet. Nag-toothbrush pa pala s'ya. So kaya pala dumiretso muna s'ya sa banyo kanina.

And then he did it.

Like a thief in the night, Park Chanyeol stole my very first kiss ever, and I was an obvious willing victim. Gosh, that almost sounded like a pop song.

Marahan lang. A light and gentle smack. Isa-isa.

Sa noo.
Sa ilong.
Sa labi.

My heart almost exploded with a bunch of mixed emotions that all feel so raw and foreign to me.

Chanyeol then stopped for a moment and looked at me intently as if trying to read what's going on inside my head.

"What would I do to you, Sandara Park?" He asked, almost in a whisper, before he fully captures my mouth. Finally.

It was direct, passionate, intense, and everything else that I have never imagined possible for a first kiss. Lahat ng kissing scenes na nabasa ko sa libro at napanood ko sa TV at pelikula, they would all definitely pale in comparison to this one. Because this kiss is real. Chanyeol is kissing me right now as if he really wants to kiss me. Like he's been wanting to kiss me all his life.

I followed his lead and copied him. I returned to him the same passion, intensity and hunger. I almost didn't want the kiss to end. It was that good.

We were both panting nang matapos ang halik. I was expecting to feel tensed but surprisingly, I was quite calm and relaxed. Why does he have this effect on me?

Chanyeol gave me one tender kiss on my forehead and then trapped me in his arms. My head was pressed right on his chest and I can almost hear his heartbeat pounding like crazy. Kinakabahan din siguro.

"Anong oras ng shooting mo?" He asked, still hugging me.

"10PM pa." Medyo nahihiyang sagot ko. Gusto ko ding yakapin s'ya pero parang nanghihina ako. Unti-unting lumalabas ang awkwardness sa kili-kili at singit ko. Pano ba kasi dapat?

"Good. Akala ko di na talaga ko aabot." Seryosong sabi ni Chanyeol.

"Umuwi ka para lang halikan ako?" Maang kong tanong. Although naisip ko pang-tangang tanong 'yung nasabi ko kasi obvious naman na 'yun talaga ang purpose n'ya. Ano ka ba naman, Sandy? Sarap mong tuktukan talaga minsan.

"Pwede bang matulog muna ako dito? I haven't had even a wink of sleep for almost 48 hours. Nahirapan ako sa byahe. I'll be gone before you know it." Pakiusap ni Chanyeol.

"O...okay." Nauutal na sagot ko.

He let me go and kissed me on my right cheek before walking straight to where my bedroom is. "Thanks." I heard him mutter under his breath.

Nang maka-recover, bahagya akong nag-tiptoe papunta sa kuwarto ko para silipin s'ya. Nakahiga na pala si Chanyeol at nakapikit sa kama ko, yakap-yakap pa ang unan ko. And it looks like he has a smile of content on his face. Para s'yang baby.

I smiled to myself. I couldn't really ask for a better first kiss because Park Chanyeol is a damn good kisser.
