Ang babae sa dalampasigan (The thousand paper cranes)

Her first kiss

****

Days, weeks, and months went by.

Clark has now found his new 'entertainment'.

Whenever he sees Maufee, he drives her mentally into a corner.

He recently found out about Maufee's identity.

The reason she transferred mid sem is because she is working part time as a waitress at a nearby luxurious restaurant.

Most high school students don't dine at fancy restaurants so no one should find her out.
Or so she thought.

Naturally, she is annoyed that of all the people to discover her, it has to be Clark.

Maufee's family owns a restaurant, so she isn't necessarily meager.

Waiting tables serves as her training for when she inherits the business someday.

Kind of odd, huh?

"You wait tables yet your family owns a restaurant. Neat."
Clark teased.

They were at the rooftop of the school.
Clark has been asking Maufee to run errands for him in exchange for his silence.

"You're really enjoying this aren't you?"
Maufee said exasperatingly.

She handed Clark the lunch she bought.

"Very much."

he grinned.

"I told you I don't want my entertainment to be taken away from me. You're smart and beautiful, and you act so tough, yet you serve other people's food. I'd like to see more of that docile side of you. It turns me on."

he grinned nastily and walked towards Maufee.

"Say, why don't you be my personal waitress for a day?"

"W-what?! I'll personally send you to hell, you jerk!"

she backed off and turned to leave but Clark grabbed her by the elbow.

She pivoted around to face him.

"Hush, little fairy. I'll give you a taste of heaven instead."
He leaned on to kiss her on the lips.

Clark broke off the kiss.

Maufee's heart was racing, her knees trembling.

Butterflies in the stomach? It was a whole zoo that was rampaging in there.

Her face flushed.

It was her first kiss.

"Haha! I thought so. You've never been kissed, have you?"

amused with her expression, Clark continued to tease Maufee.

"I want to steal away all your first experiences, my sweet fairy. Rest assured, you won't ran out of kisses from me."

he turned to exit the door.

Maufee was still dumbstruck about what happened.

It still has not sank in.

She dropped to her knees.
Her first kiss stolen from her by that jerk of a perv.

'What's going on?'
she thought.

'This is wrong, just wrong. Why did he kiss me? My chest wont stop thumping. Why am I reacting this way? Why does he affect me like this? Clark Montefalco, what have you done to me?'
She panted slowly and pressed her fingers to her lips.

She can still feel the sensation of the kiss that lingered.

'No, love doesn't begin like this.'
