The One That Got Away

SIXTEEN

Dwight turned to our table and drops nachos, adobo, other snacks and alcohol doctor. "Seriously? An alcohol doctor?" I told him, then he smiled again and says. "Tomorrow's the exam, just in case you'll need it." He was about to leave when I grab his hand and ask him to join us. Yes! His hand. "Let's get drunk. Partner." Something sparkles on his eyes when he recognize that I just called him partner. "Sure, partner. Thanks." Actually napatawad ko na talaga siya dun sa ginawa niya kay Duke, nagpapabebe lang talaga ako at gusto ko siya muna lumapit sakin.

"Sus! Pabebe, oh inyo na." Sabi ni Chealsy sabay abot ng tig isang baso samin.

"How's he?" He asked just as I was about to drink the last gulp of the tequila.
"He's confined till next week. Not to mention he has the chance to get blind." I answered rudely. Why does he have to ruin the atmosphere with that question?!

"About that, I'm really sorry." He says and stares at me sincerely. "You areee??? I mean, the way I saw you beating him you could almost kill him." I answered rudely and walk through the kitchen. "But I didn't mean that, I was just-" He followed me through the kitchen. I didn't finish what he has to say. "Yes I know! You were just so envy that you could-" Right before I finish my sentence he kissed me-deeply that it was intimate. My heart, it's like-it wants freedom that it could jump out of my rib cage.

I can't think of something useful. I think I'm going crazy, this is my second kiss!!! Though I didn't felt the first one. Dwight place his hand to my waist and the other one in my chics. I should push him like the way I did to Duke when he kissed me but my heart says don't. I never thought kiss would feel this way that I wish it'll never end, or maybe it's just that Dwight is a real good kisser. Dwight's kissing my lips like he own them, at first I didn't respond but as it feels good I adapted how to do it. Dwight! Why are you doing this to me?

He stops and places his forehead to mine. He was breathing heavily, so was I. He kissed my forehead and hug me tightly. "Yes...I was envy that I could kill him. You're absolutely right, I'm so envy that I wish I was the one who kissed you back then." Am I hearing it right? O baka sa tama lang ng alak 'to?

"You don't have any idea how I've been wanting to do this for so long! By the way, don't get me wrong. He's not your first kiss, I am." And he left. What? Lasing na ba talaga ako? What does he mean by that? And he left me? After kissing me, he left me. For real?

Hindi ko namamalayang mga fifteen minutes na pala akong nakatulala sa kitchen habang inaabsorb lahat ng nangyari. Pagdating ko sa sala napatingin silang lahat sakin, pati si Dwight. "What?" Tanong ko sa kanilang lahat. "Girl! Nagbablush ka." Sabi ni Berry. Hinawakan ko naman yung pisngi ko, ang init nga. "Che!" Sabi ko sabay upo sa tabi ni Dwight, which is the available seat left.

"Ano bang ginawa nyo don? Napakatagal nyo! Ayan tuloy may utang kayong tatlong shot. Bleh!" Sabi ni Berry, at inabot sakin yung glass ni Dwight sabay kindat x ngiti. God in the depths of heaven ang hot niya tonight. Why oh why? Pinanood niya pa akong inumin yung alak at syempre ako nilagyan ng poise ang pag-inum ko, yung parang nasa commercial ako at simpleng tinapon sa damit ko yung natira. Lol!
"Whaaa shit!" Sabi ko pa kunyare. To the rescue naman sya, "Wait I'll get a towel." Sabi niya. Arrggg!!! Nakakabaliw yung hotness niya ngayong gabi!!!
"Wait, I'll COME with you." Medyo bastos. Lol! Magbibihis din kasi ako, hello! Humawak ako sa braso niya, and oh! The biceps! In fairness ngayon ko lang naappreciate lahat ng good traits niya. Alak pa ba pinapainum nila sakin o ecstasy?

Nakakapagtaka kasi na parang ang horny ko ngayong gabi. Ramdam ko lang.
Ayon sumama na ako sa kanya pero hinila ko siya papunta sa kwarto ko nung nasa taas na kami. Humiga ako ng pasalampak sa kama. Inaantok ako bigla. Siguro dala na rin to ng tatlong bote ng tequila na nainom namin. "Get up Zoe, you'll get sick if you don't change your shirt." Sabi nya habang naghahanap ng shirt sa damitan ko. Well shirt at crop top shirts lang talaga ang mahahanap niya don dahil hindi naman ako nagssleeveless.

Makakatulog na sana ako ng hinila niya paupo yung kamay ko. "Ouch! You're so rude!" Sabi ko at hinilot yung nabali ko yatang boto. "Sorry." Sabi niya at chineck yung kamay ko, "I told you, you have to change you're clothes. Sorry." Tapos binaba niya ng bahagya yung colar ng shirt ko kinilabutan naman ako dahil akala ko huhubaran niya na ako pero kiniss niya yung balikat ko which is yung part na sumakit nung hinila niya ko. "There it's gone." Sabi niya at nginitian ako habang nakaluhod siya sa harap ko at ako naman nakaupo sa kama. Napatitig ako sa super cute at pamungay niyang mata. "Thank you." I said before hugging him, his shoulder slightly jumped. Maybe he didn't expect a hug from me. Am I that cruel and brutal to him?

I really feel sleepy and I feel so lazy to move, "Undress me." What did I just said? Gosh, I hope he didn't here that!!! "You sure?" He asked, and as I wanted to go with the flow I nod. I thought he wanted to do this for a long time now? So I'll call us even. I just realized water always push us through this thing. Undressing each other. The lights off so I feel confident to show my body, plus I trust him. I would never let Duke do this to me, but with Dwight, it's different. It's like I'm not committing a sin.

Dwight undressed me and he was about to put on my dry shirt when I hugged him again, he hugged me back but this time it's with passion and care. As if I'm fragile. He stops the hugging and takes his shirt off, though I couldn't see it I felt and heard it. Then he hug me again. Ahhh, it felt really good. It's warm, hard and comforting, and I felt...horny. Well, it's not my fault, his face is on chest and I only wear bra. "I never thought we would be this close." He says and faces me. Akala ko hindi big deal sa kanya yung mga gantong bagay. Akala ko sports lang. Finally in-open up niya din. "Do you-", " Shhh," He cut me off while I was about to ask him what he really felt for me and places his finger on my lips. "I love you Nicole." I didn't answer, I never expect he would say that. Sobrang sarap pakinggan lalo na pag galing sa kanya. I could die. He was the first one to call me Nicole. Even my mom calls me Zoe like anybody else. The way he calls me Nicole feels like I'm the most beautiful girl in the world. "I love you too Dwight." I answered, finally and tightens the hug even more. Dwight knows I never lie. So if I say I hate him I really do, and now me telling him I love him means I really love him and I'm really sure about that.

Isiniksik niya yung mukha niya sa leeg ko dahil siguro alam niyang may kiliti ako don habang nakayakap siya sakin. Ang init init na ng buong katawan namin. I'm proud of him, nandito na eh. Nakahain na yung katawan ko sa harap niya but he never dared to touch any one of 'em. Hindi ako nagkamali ng pinili. Yes I chose Dwight over Duke, I asked Duke a very risky question that I already knows the answer, just for him to get over me. I've been hiding this feeling for Dwight in such a long time when I could tell him about it anytime, because we live at the same roof.
