Payb Takes Book 3

About Kisses

September 16, 2017, 10pm:

I sit on the bed with you lying on my lap while we watch Game Of Thrones on my laptop. I don't really care for it but since you're such a big fan and want to catch up on the show, I decide to watch it with you.

I run my fingers through you hair and gently massage your scalp as you watch, totally absorbed into the world of Queens at war and dragons and snow zombies. Yeah, I know that if you heard me call them with the wrong names, I will never hear the end of it. The only thing that probably interests me is why this cutie Jon Snow was wearing a thick fur cloak on such a hot day and why he looks at your blonde-haired Dragon Queen crush with googly eyes. Maybe some romance there.

After that episode, you stretch and yawn then flip on your back to look at me. "Inip ka?" You smile and I giggle. You know me too well. "We can watch something else."

"Hindi. Okay lang. Nood ka lang diyan. I don't feel like watching anything else naman. Samahan na lang kita manood pa." I smile as I caress your cheek. "Ilang episodes pa ba?" I ask.

"Hmmm... tatlo pa." You sit up, facing me, and take my hands in yours. "Thank you for doing this with me kahit na I'm pretty sure you still call the White Walkers the snow zombies and Daenerys, dragon queen." You grin and plant a kiss on each of my palm.

"Eh kasi... Sorry na." I laugh. "Maybe if we watch some more, masanay na ako. Next episode?"

"Maybe next time." You smile. "Ayoko na muna manood."

"Bakit naman? Maaga pa oh. You can watch one more at least. Okay lang talaga."

"Ayoko na muna. Gusto ko na muna ng kiss." You grin and I giggle.

"Kailan pa nangyari na hindi mo gusto ng kiss?" I ask.

"Never pa. Gusto ko palagi ng kiss mula sa'yo." You wink and slowly inch your face closer to mine. "Everyday, every hour, every minute, every second kung pwede lang hindi na maghiwalay tong mga lips natin." You speak to me with our lips touching.

"Kung pwede lang." I whisper before you press your lips on mine and kiss me slowly while you gently caress the back of my head, gliding your hand along my hair, as you lay me down on the bed.

You hover over me and softly coax my lips open with yours then slip your tongue inside my mouth, swirling and rubbing it against my own and groaning when I suck it. That pushes you to kiss me deeper and more passionately, pushing your tongue to reach every corner of my warm crevice, nibbling and drawing my lips between your teeth as you lie on your side and slip your arm under my head while your free hand starts roaming the exposed skin of my neck, shoulder and arm, sending tiny bolts of electricity to shoot down my spine.

Our mouths continue to eagerly drink off each other and delighted sighs and moans fill the room as we pull each other closer, limbs intertwining and bodies molding against each other, igniting passion and arousing desire.

Finally, breathless but still wanting, after minutes and minutes of heated kissing, our lips slightly part to catch some air.

"I love you." You whisper on my lips while your fingers gently stroke my jaw, your eyes glimmer as they stare deep into mine and your dimple deepens in a gentle smile. "I love you so much, Mrs. Nicomaine Faulkerson."

"I love you more, Richard Faulkerson Jr." I whisper back and sigh before closing my eyes to let you kiss their lids. I open them and smile as you kiss the tip of my nose and my forehead and then my cheeks and finally my lips.

"Can you count how many times we kissed?" You ask and grin.

"I stopped count after the millionth last year. Dapat pala ni-reset ko yung counter when we got married." I giggle. "Ikaw ba?"

"I never counted. Nawawala ako sa sarili tuwing kini-kiss kita eh." You chuckle and I pinch your nose.

"Wooshoo! Humirit ka na naman. In love na in love na nga ako sa'yo, wag mo na akong binobola."

"Hindi bola yun. Totoo kasi." You pout. "Mahal na mahal na mahal kita. Kung in love lang din ang usapan di hamak na mas lamang ako sa'yo."

"Ayaw talaga patalo. Grabe siya." I laugh. "Sige nga. Do you remember our first kiss?"

"Alin? Yung nakaw? Real? Cheek, hand, forehead or lips?" You ask, wiggling your eyebrows.

"Ang daming klase. First real kiss." I smile.

"Sometime after midnight, late 2015, my car, Bulacan." You grin.

"Aba! Alam na alam."

"Siyempre naman. Medyo umaambon noon and I Could Not Ask For More was playing on the car stereo."

"Uy! Talaga namang tandang-tanda mo ah."

"Of course. Forever na yun nakatatak sa isip ko. Naka-gray dress ka. Naka-ponytail ang buhok mo. You smell like sweet pears and flowers and you taste like caramel and coffee and cherry." You grin and I giggle.

"Homaygad! Pati taste talaga."

"Oo naman. Tandang-tanda ko kung kailan ako unang na-adik sa halik mo." You said, chomping your teeth and chasing after my nose.

"I remember that night too." I say.

"Dahil dun ka din unang na-adik sa akin?" You grin.

"Hindi." I caress you cheek and look deep into your eyes. "Noon ko unang na-sigurado sa sarili ko na hindi na ako takot."

"Takot saan?"

"Hindi na ako takot mahalin ka." I say and you smile. "Sabi ko sa sarili ko noon, kahit anong mangyari, kahit saan tayo makarating, kahit umiyak pa ako o masaktan, I will never regret falling in love with you."

You sniffle and wipe a tear that escaped your eye. "Thank you. Alam ko kung gaano ka-big deal sa'yo yun. Isang malaking karangalan to have the privilege to be loved by you. Hinding-hindi ka magsisisi. Hinding-hindi kita sasaktan. Hindi ko kaya." Your voice breaks and you pull me in your arms, hugging me tight.

"Ano ba yan? Usapang first kiss lang to ah. Bakit may iyakan na?" I ask as I snuggle on your chest, wiping away my own tears. "Alam ko na, Love?"

"Ano yun, Love?"

"I-reset natin yung kiss counter everyday. Tapos araw-araw may goal." I chuckle.

"Ay! Gusto ko yan. Dapat twenty four kisses a day."

"Huh? Ang dami naman. Five lang."

"Hindi. Dapat at least twenty four. Lahat ng klaseng kiss counted, sa kamay, sa leeg, sa noo, sa ilong, sa tenga, sa lips, sa balikat, sa likod, sa bilbil, sa siko, sa tuhod, sa buhok, sa dibdib, sa..."

"Okay. Okay. Twenty four. So bago mag-12 midnight dapat maka-twenty four na tayo. Bukas natin umpisahan."

"Bakit bukas pa? Ngayon na!"

"Paano? Alas onse na kaya. Isang oras na lang ummmph... Ano ba?"

"Umpisahan na natin para makahabol. Ayun na yung isa. Yung susunod na twenty three torrid lahat." You grin. "Game?"

"Let's go!" I grin and pull your collar then kiss you senseless. 💏💛🍃
