Twenty Four: Hate you

Priele’s POV

“Wala kang kasalanan, okay?” Riu tilted my head in order for him to see my face.

I stared on his eyes… Those black, circle eyes, they were mesmerizing, and inviting. And just like last night, I would love to be lost into those eyes.

I wanted to be crazy so, I wanted to do something crazier. I leaned a little closer to him, my face a few inches away from his face. Riu’s minty breath was fanning into my face which tempted me to move my head forward. And cross the tiniest bit of distance between me and him, between his lips and mine.

I intended to just brush my lips to his. Because, I’m curious what would it taste like to be kissed by him? I know it’s wrong, I’m aware of the fact, but sometimes kung ano pa iyong mali mas gusto mo pang gawin. Kung ano iyong bawal iyon pa ang mas gusto mong subukan.

At first, he was hesitating… he just stayed put and did nothing but, later on he started to kiss me back, then I knew that that hesitation had disappeared.

The lip brushing I just wanted to do was now out of my mind. It flew away, because with the feeling of Riu’s lips on mine, I wanted to deepen the kiss, I wanted him to kiss me more.

I placed my hand on the back of his neck, my thumb playing with his hair on the top of his nape, and pulled him closer.

Ansel’s face keeps on flashing on my mind but, I ignored it. I’m enjoying the sensation Riu’s lips was giving me.

Slightly opening my mouth to give him more access to my lips, I slid my other hand onto his shoulders down to his chest and clasped it to the fabric that was covering him.

He grabbed me by the waist, now he was half hugging me. And I willingly leaned on him.

Gosh. I really love how he touched me. I really love how his lips nibbled mine. I really love how he was gently kissing me.

This is wrong. Alam na alam ko iyon. Pero, hindi ko magawang pigilan ang sarili ko at mas lalong hindi ko kayang itulak si Riu palayo sa’kin. I just didn’t want the kiss to end. I insinuated this, so wala akong karapatan na itulak siya at patigilin. Dahil, ayoko.

Ansel might kill me kapag nalaman niyang ang asawa niya ay may kahalikang iba. Hindi pa nga kami nagkaka-ayos heto at may sinimulan na naman akong bagong problema. He is still my husband and I still love him.

Maybe, I was too fixated on thinking about Ansel that I stopped and Riu noticed it so, he pushed me lightly away from him and he harshly sighed.

“I’m sorry.” He said looking away from me.

I shot him a glare.

That was the worst line I have ever heard from him. I hate it when he said it. I don’t want to hear him saying sorry about the kiss. Because, I initiated it at wala siyang kasalanan dun. And I don’t want him telling me that, since that would only mean he doesn’t mean when he kissed me.

So, I voiced out what I felt. “You don’t need to feel sorry, Riu.”

I clasped my hands and played with it on my lap. Hindi ko na alam kung ano pa ang sasabihin ko. Mali talaga na ginawa ko iyon pero, iba naman ang isinisigaw ng utak ko.

“I shouldn’t have kissed you. I was just—”

I cut him off before he could finish what he’s saying, “I told you to not to feel sorry about it. You’re insulting me, Riu. Are you even aware of that?”

Totoo iyong sinabi ko. I felt insulted. Why does he keep saying sorry when I already told him to not to. Nakaka-hurt iyon ah. Feel na feel ko pa naman iyong halik niya tapos, magsosorry?! Leche.
