We Just Are (GU #1.5)

17 : call

I couldn't recall the time that Slade has been like this before. There was just too much intensity coming from him. The way he held me. The way his lips moved on mine. The way how this felt.

Felt like there was too much pent up desire. Too much craving that was bottled up. At ngayon lang ang tanging pagkakataon para ang iyon ay mailabas.

And it might not be the same passion as Slade's, I kissed him back with all that I have. That was when I felt Slade's hands moved. Ang isang kamay mula sa pisngi ko'y bumaba sa bewang ko. Iginalaw ko rin ang mga kamay at mahigpit na inikot 'yun sa leeg ni Slade, mas inilalapit pa siya sa akin.

Doon naman lumayo si Slade. I almost whimper at the loss of contact of our bodies, of our lips. But that whimper died when I felt his lips on the side of my neck, teasing the sensitive skin there.

"Uh...um, Slade," I called onto him. Hindi ko naman alam kung pinapatigil ko ba siya o ine-encourage na magpatuloy. It was just that it's so damn ticklish. 'Yung ginagawa niya sa leeg ko.

I felt Slade smile through my skin before he nuzzled my neck again then brought his head up, looking at my face. Napahinto ako sa nakitang kislap ng mga mata niya. Those brown orbs seemed to hold a lot of promise.

Nakatingin pa rin ako sa mga mata niya nang maramdaman ang pareho niyang kamay sa laylayan ng t-shirt ko.

Then in a hoarse voice, he commanded. "Take this off."

My eyes widened at that. What?

"A-Ano...B-Bakit?" nauutal kong tanong.

One corner of Slade's lips lifted up. "You've forgotten already what you just told me earlier? I thought I can see it?"

Oh. Yeah right. Nasabi ko nga iyon kanina. I just don't know. Why right now slightly felt different? Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako kinakabahan.

And Slade seemed to notice it.

The smirk faded on his lips. "Celestine? You know you don't have to do it, right?"

I sighed as I shook my head at him. Had I ruin this? Ugh. Ano ba 'yan bakit ba kasi ang gulo ko? Kanina lang, parang ang tapang-tapang kong magsabi nang ganoong mga bagay pero ngayon ay parang takot na takot na ako.

Clearing my head and pushing the nervousness away, I reached for my shirt and slowly raised it up, taking it off.

At nang matagumpay ko nang maalis at maibaba sa kama ay tiningnan ko na naman si Slade. But his eyes already made their way down to my body. I bit my lip, afraid of what he would thought of me.

I didn't wear at least some sexy underwear. Because I don't have one. All the undies I got were those printed with different cartoon characters.

"So, it's Mickey Mouse this time," Slade remarked. I was expecting a laugh after that but it didn't came. Instead, Slade was still looking at me with the same expression he had earlier.

At sa pagtagal ng pagtitig niya sa akin ay mas nakakaramdam ako ng pagka-conscious. Dahan-dahan kong inangat ang mga kamay at balak sanang takpan ang katawan ngunit maagap si Slade at nahawakan ang pareho kong kamay.

This time, our gazes met. Slade slowly shook his head at me then he breathed out, "No."

"Don't hide something that's so beautiful from me, Celestine," Slade whispered. Then I felt his hands again on my waist. My now bare waist. And fita if the currents I felt didn't tripled.

Slade guided me towards the bed, laying me down. I was about to ask what he was about to do, when he hovered over my body, and the next thing I knew we were kissing again.
