"Alden, ibaba mo na ako,"

"Wait lng Meng, sandali lang talaga. Babalik tayo sa loob."

"Commercial na ohh, tapos na yung Kalyeserye, buhat mo pa rin ako. Anong meron?"

"Wag ka ngang malikot Nicomaine, papunta na tayo doon."

"Papunta saan, hoy, yang ngiti mo parang may gagawing masama."

They entered a somewhat deserted dressing room just across the host's room and put her down in the middle of everything. He checks if the coast is clear, locked the door and face her and she stiffened. Just what is he thinking?

Inang napupuno ng grasya, ang lahat ay sumasainyo. Ano po ba talaga ang iniisip ng lalaking to? Maine knows there's no need to panic because, hello?, its RJ! Her Richard for heaven's sake and panicking with him around is a questionable feeling but Maine felt it nonetheless. She never saw him this serious, not while they just did a happy scene. Kaya di niya matukoy kung ano ang ispiritung sumapi sa katauhan ni Alden at bigla na lang naging unsmiling creature ang peg.

He stares, she stares. He sighs, she sighs. Hayy, ganito kami ngayon. Titigan pa more. Buntong-hininga pa more.

"Alden...hello, ano ba talaga gagawin natin dito? Mamaya niyan hinahanap na tayo ni Mama Ten at Direk Pat, labas na tayo...dali na!"

"Stay there, huwag kang gagalaw hanggat di ko sinasabi," he said with a shaky breath.

He turned his back on me and face the door, breathing so deeply that for a second I thought his having spasms but then with a last full breath he composed himself and slowly walk towards me with a yearning look in his eyes. It didn't help that he was specifically eyeing my lips, which in Maine's opinion is a little unnerving.

"Maine, may sasabihin ako," he asked, calculating.

"O, ano yun? Dali na kasi, nangangati na ako sa gown na to ehh, gusto ko nang magbihis."

"Promise me, hindi ka magagalit." He's now two steps away from me and nervously fidgeting with the hem of his barong. "At ang sasabihin mo lng sa akin ay saan, gets mo?"

"Okay....so ano yung sasabihin mo?

"IKI-KISS KITA!" he suddenly blurted out and trust me for being a good girl, I automatically answered him without realizing what it just meant.

"SAAN...........teka,....saan???" And just like that, I've felt his hands caressing my neck and slowly leaning towards me with his breath cooling my awaiting lips.

"Dito," and captured my lips he did. I can feel everything and I can hear my heart beating to a rhythmic pattern. He smelled and tasted like a spearmint and chamomile mix into one. And the feel of his lips lingering longer on mine made my body respond without thinking. I close my eyes, my left hand taking hold of his barong and my right hand encircled his neck to pull him close to me.

I kissed him back and with that he deepened the kiss. Much to my pleasure. I never thought I've been waiting for this kiss to happen for the last seven months of my life and now that it is finally happening, I'm at loss of words and.......out of breath.........wait!

"Meng, breath! Grabe siya, kung alam ko lang na matagal mo ng pinagnanasaan ang lips ko, matagal na kitang hinalikan,"

"Kapal mo ha.....nang-aano ka ehh," he laughed and give me a sweet peck.

"Meng, that kiss was the sweetest. Thank you."

"Thank-you-hin mo mukha-------."

KISS!

"Alden, ano ba, tama---------."

KISS!

"Isa pa, Richard, nakaka-------"

KISS!

A knock on the door startled the both of us, especially RJ who groans in displeasure. "May tao ba dyan?" We can hear a staff asked. "Para namang wala, pero hindi naman nila-lock ang kwartong to kasi sira na yung doorknob. Sa loob lng pwedeng buksan." The other staff said. "O, siya yaan mo na lang, ipasira mo nlng mamaya para mabuksan. Lika na, ipinapahanap pa sa akin si Alden at Maine, ehh. Di ko alam san napunta yung dalawang yun." The moment we hear the footsteps walking away, Alden immediately resumed to the task at hand and that is kissing me.

"Hep, tama na. Hinahanap na tayo sa labas,"

"Meng, pwede isa na lng. Please.......,"

"Okay, isa na la-----------,"

KISS!

"Tapos na yung is---------,"

KISS!

"Alden sumosobra---------,"

KISSSSSSSSS!

"I can't get enough of kissing you."

"At masasapak na kita kapag di ka pa tumigil."

"Meng, pwede isa pang favor,"

"Kanina pa yang favor –favor na yan, what is it this time?"

"Totohanin na natin to," he smiled. "I mean, I love you, you love me. Were best friends and------------,"

KISSSSSSS!

"Huwag mo nang ituloy yang Barney song, OO na, gets ko na, Okay na...Tayo na,"

"Tayo na? So can I kiss you now?

"Kanina mo pa ginaga-----------,"

KISSSSSS!

And kiss we did. He loves me, I love him. What more can be right, right? After all, he sealed it with a kiss.
