Only You

Chapter 6: Kiss

"Adam, I'm hungry. Please stop!"

"Hmmm."

"Ahhh Adam!"

Naiinis na ako sa lalaking ito hindi na tinantanan ang mga labi ko. Nagsmudged na ang lipstick ko at pakiramdam ko ang kapal kapal na ng labi ko.

Gawin ba namang trabaho ang paghalik. He is impossible.

I liked Adam's kisses. No scratch that I love it. It was 5 years ago since he last kissed me. He still have that effect on me whenever our lips met.

I didn't want him to stop. But I was scared it might led to something else we both might regret with.

I tried my best to close my mouth not giving him chance to enter. It took awhile before he finally gave up.

His face dark. Anger evident at his beautiful face.

"You didn't like my kiss? Mas magaling bang humalik si Renz. kaysa sa akin? Tell me Alex!"

"What?" No! I mean..."

Napapikit na lang ako! He's unbelievable! Just unbelievable!

"Adam... We're at work... and I'm hungry!"

He didn't say anything. He turned his back and walked to his desk.

I waited for a moment hoping he'll join me for lunch.

Adam stayed seated on his chair.
Nakabusangot ang gwapo niyang mukha habang binabasa ang mga papeles na pipirmahan niya. Hindi niya ako pinapansin.

Here we go again. Seriously!

"Adam, come on let's have lunch."

"I'm not hungry. I just lost my appetite."

"Please."

"Go ahead. Have lunch with your Renz. O kung sinumang lalaking gusto mong samahan diyan!"

Seriously! He's ranting at me over a kiss. What is his problem?

I closed my eyes. This is too much. I went back to my desk.
I just lost my appetite too.

He's being unreasonable. Mas iniisip pa niya ang halik niya kaysa sa gutom ko. Kung hindi niya pinaalis si Tanya eh di sana busog na ako sa mga oras na ito.
Hindi sana ako nagmamaktol sa loob ng opisinang ito.

I busied myself in front of the computer. Sa sobrang inis ko nakalimutan ko na rin ang gutom ko.

Adam tried to call me but I ignored him.

He's unpredictable. Sometimes he's sweet but most of the time laging galit.

I was still busy on my computer when Adam came to my desk. He was holding a container of food. I didn't bother to look at him. But I knew it was food because I can smell it.

"Alex." He called.

"Let's eat. Please."

Hindi ko pa rin siya pinapansin.
Matagal siyang nakatayo sa harapan ko ngunit di ko pa din siya pinansin.

He put down the food on my desk at umalis. Kahit amoy na amoy ko ang masarap na pagkain ay hindi ko ito ginalaw.
Minsan kapag galit ka nakakalimutan mo rin ang gutom mo.

Nakakatampo lang. Ang tingin niya sa akin kaladkaring babae.
Na sumasama sa kahit kaninong lalaki. Is it because I left him for Renz right after our wedding day.

Napaiyak ako. If he only knew.

I tried to calm myself. Memories from the past keep flashing by in my mind.

Adam stayed at his desk. Hindi ko alam kung kumain siya o bad trip din siya kagaya ko.

When the clock hits 5pm. I grabbed my purse and stepped out from his office. I didn't bother to say goodbye to him. But I can feel his eyes were on me.

He called my name. But I did not stop. I don't want to talk to him right now. I just wanted to be away from him.

I said my goodbye to Tanya and she did the same.

I was waiting for the elevator to open when I felt someone stood beside me. I knew it was him because I can smell that familiar scent. I can feel his eyes on me. Adam tried to hold my hand but I moved away.

He moved closer and held me from the waist instead. Sinubukan kong tanggalin ang kamay niya pero lalo niyang hinigpitan ang hawak sa bewang ko.

I gave up. Pinabayaan ko na lang. We stepped inside the elevator quietly. I pressed the ground floor button and Adam pressed the basement button. As the lift went down, sumakay din ang mga ibang employees.

Kitang-kita sa mga female employees ang kilig nila habang binabati si Adam. Tahimik na tango lang ang sagot ni Adam.
Ang ilan naman sa kanila ay nagtataka why Adam is holding me that close.

As the lift opened on the ground floor, akmang hahakbang na ako palabas ng humigpit pa lalo ang hawak ni Adam sa bewang ko. Ayaw niya akong palabasin ng elevator. I looked at him.

I sighed. Sometimes I just don't know what to say anymore.
I just stayed quiet.

When we reached the basement nauna akong naglakad sa kanya. Hindi ko man alam kung saan nakaparked ang sasakyan niya I walked fast before him. I just wanted to stay away from him.

Gaano man ako kabilis maglakad naabutan pa rin ako ni Adam. Adam hugged me from behind. I closed my eyes and tears ran on my beautiful face. Sometimes words that were not said are best felt in the heart.

We stayed in that position for a awhile. Then Adam turned me around facing him. He looked at my face and wiped the tears. He hugged me so tight that I can hear his heart beats so fast.

He broke the hug and he led me to his car. He opened the door and he let me sat on the shotgun seat. Umikot siya at umupo sa driver seat.

We were both quiet. No one dared to speak. Adam stopped the car and parked in front of a Japanese restaurant.

We went inside and ate our dinner quietly. Ito na siguro ang pinakatahimik na dinner sa buong buhay ko.

After dinner, Adam hugged me and kissed me on my lips. I can feel he wanted to say something but he just chose to kiss me instead. Sabi nga nung kanta. It's very cliche, "you say it best when you say nothing at all."

We were both panting when he let go of my lips. Then we both smiled. We went to his car and we drove home.

Nakakatawa lang isipin na we fought over a kiss and we sealed the night with a kiss.

Indeed, there's a magic in a kiss.
