Ano ba kami?

Ngayon ay nagsisimula na akong mag-isip kung anong tawag sa mayroon sa aming dalawa ni Lucas. He's not my boyfriend, so what are we? I don't want to be called his fling or his fuck buddy, but then again, what are we? Are we just friends? Or maybe friends with benefits?

It's hard to figure out the right label for what's going on between us. I feel like it's somewhere in between, but I'm not sure how to explain it or what to call it.

Sinubukan ko ang mga bagong skin care product na dala ni Lucas. Fortunately, I didn't get any breakouts from the products he gave me. Alam niya ba ang skin type ko? Paano niya kaya nalaman kung ano ang hihiyang sa balat ko?

Hindi ako eksperto pagdating sa sex or anything like that, pero posible bang dahil may nangyayari na sa amin at madalas kaming mag-make out ay nalalaman niya na rin ang skin type ko? Maybe he noticed things about my skin while we've been close, but I'm not sure if that's something you can tell just from kissing or being physically close to someone. It's a bit confusing how he seems to know what would be good for my skin.

Bumukas ang pintuan ng kwarto at pumasok si Lucas. Nakaupo pa rin ako kaharap ang salamin habang abala sa paglalagay sa mukha ng night cream. Hindi ko siya nilingon para tingnan dahil nakikita ko naman siya sa salamin. Umupo siya sa gilid ng kama at tiningnan ang repleksiyon ko sa salamin.

"You done?" he asked.

I nodded. Ngumiti siya at tinapik ang lap niya.

"Come here. Lagyan mo rin ako niyan,"

Nanatili ang titig ko sa kaniya, not sure if he was just joking or if he really wanted me to do it. But when I looked at his face, I could tell he wasn't playing around. He was serious, waiting for me to come closer.

Tumayo ako dala ang ilang mga skin care product at ipinatong iyon sa kama. Umupo ako sa tabi niya. But before I could get comfortable, he reached out, gently pulling me toward him. Before I knew it, I was sitting in his lap. His arms were around me, and I couldn't help but notice how close we were now.

"This is definitely the best position," he smirked.

"Ang landi mo," I replied.

He chuckled.

"Lagyan mo na 'ko," aniya.

I reached for the toner, my hands a bit shaky from how close he was. Naglagay ako sa cotton pad at hinawi ang buhok niya sa noo. He closed his eyes, Slowly, I swiped the cotton pad across his forehead, careful not to be too quick. He didn't open his eyes, but I could see his lips curve into a small, satisfied smile.

When I applied the serum, his eyes suddenly opened and stared directly into mine. Hindi na ako masiyadong naiilang kasi sanay naman na akong tinititigan niya. I grabbed the night cream jar and took a small amount, rubbing it between my palms before I started with his forehead. Clear skin si Lucas kaya masarap haplusin ang balat niya.

When I moved to his cheeks, I could feel his breath. As I reached his jawline, he tilted his head slightly, his lips curving into a small smile. Nang tingnan ko siya sa mata, nasa mga labi ko na siya nakatingin. Natigilan ako sa ginagawa at bumuntong hininga.

Kinuha ko ang lip mask. Before dipping my finger into the product, I gently traced my thumb over his lips. I couldn't help but smile as I did, looking at him while doing it.

Umigting ang panga niya.

"You've got a good touch," he said.

I smirked back, trying to stay focused, but it was hard not to notice how much he was enjoying it. Then, without warning, he leaned in and pressed a quick kiss to my lips. I rolled my eyes at him, but he just laughed at my reaction.
