Nasa labas nga siya. Jusko. Anong gagawin ko? Lintek lang. Wala naman akong choice kundi papasukin siya, di ba? Di ba?

Ay, shet. Shet na shet. Wala pala akong bra. Ano ba, ba't ba ako natataranta eh si Alden lang naman yung nasa labas.
Pero hindi eh. Sabi niya better kisser daw siya eh ako namang si shunga, humingi pa ng resibo. Paano kung halikan nga niya 'ko? Anong iisipin niya pag hindi ako tumanggi?
Tangina, Nicomaine. Umayos ka.

Oo nga naman, tama siya. Pero ang gago lang, ba't parang sure siya na I'll give my consent?
Okay so eto na. Bubuksan ko na talaga. Nanginginig-nginig pa yung tuhod ko, not because I'm scared ha. Ano to, nginig dahil sa anticipation. O, di ba, ang harot ko lang. Malandi ka talaga, Nicomaine. Lagot ka sa tatay mo.
I opened the door to see him smiling. Yang dimples na yan talaga nakapanghihina eh. In his left hand was holding a paper bag, when I asked him kung ano yun, mint chocolate chip ice cream daw. I must have breathed a sigh of relief kasi tumawa siya.
Alden enjoys seeing me in extremely uncomfortable situations talaga, especially if he knows na siya ang dahilan ng discomfort na yun. He went straight to the kitchen tapos kumuha siya ng spoon, I asked him what it is for, sabi niya for the ice cream daw. Sabi ko eh ba't isang spoon lang dalawa kaming kakain, binalik niya yung tanong sa'kin, kelan pa daw ako naging laway conscious.
Oo nga naman. We've shared spoons, forks, glasses, and straws before. Why did I have to bring that one up?
The first few spoons we ate in silence. Parang nagpapakiramdaman kami. In reality, hindi ko nalalasahan ang kinakain ko kasi to the highest level ang nerbyos ko. Alam kong any time now, he'll bring it up. Memorize ko na 'tong si Alden Richards eh. Kunyari kalma tapos when I become complacent, aatake siya. Sows. Ako pa ba.
Pero shet, is he looking at my lips? Oh Lord, he's looking at my lips! What is hinga?! Teka lang, nagtoothbrush ba'ko? Sure ako nagtoo-
And just like that, without warning, he leaned in and kissed me.
I felt his soft lips against mine, with just the right amount of pressure. It was gentle, unhurried, as if he was taking his time. He pulled back a little, only to kiss me again, his warm breath sending shivers along my spine.
Hindi ko alam who initiated the open-mouth kiss but the next thing I knew, I could feel his cold tongue grazing my teeth. My world exploded into a kaleidoscope of colors. It was sensory overload.
We both pulled back for air. He was cupping my cheeks and my arms were around his neck. How the fuck did it get there? Maharot ka, Nicomaine. Maharot ka.
He broke the silence, his voice husky, and deep.
"Magsalita ka, Maine. Anything," he said.
"Alden," I began. I wanted to say something sweet, or profound, or anything romantic that would perfectly fit the moment. But since ako nga si Nicomaine Mendoza, ang bago niyong aabangan sa Eat Bulaga, I said,
