Broken Promises (MayWard) - Completed

Chapter 45

Edward's POV
× × ×

I can't explain how happy I am right now after  sharing my first kiss with her. I admit, I've always been wanting to rush these things even before. I mean, yeah, I think about it 'cause let's face it, who wouldn't want to? Most of the time, I'm easily tempted without her even knowing but I'm glad​ I always end up comprising my own thoughts because it's her decisions that matter most. I respect that so much.

I know that victory's sweeter this time knowing I've waited for a while and now I thought it was the right time. And yeah, I was definitely right. It could've not been the right time if she didn't respond, I guess. Yes?

I don't even know how to do it but it's like we've carefully and justifiably crossed the bridge the moment we got there. I was not experienced either but I felt professional in a way. Naks! Yes, it just happened.

"I want to kiss you now. Can I?" My heart was calm enough to tell her. Finally, I got the courage to ask 'cause I don't think I'd be happy stealing it. I should make her not forget how it was like.

I remember her reaction when she heard that. She was about to smile, yet trying to hold it inside and told me things I didn't actually understand. I was too focused on her that I didn't clearly hear what she actually said.

The next thing I knew, she plucked out a wildflower by her side and started covering her mouth with it. She probably noticed where my focus is - on her lips. I started dragging her hands down and I held on to her chin as I came in closer, and closer.

"I love you, babe." I said.

I kissed her cheek while brushing off my fingers through her long, straight hair. As I reached its end, I moved another kiss that's an inch closer to her lips. And closer. I paused after, knowing that I'd be able to kiss her lips next after those few inches, and so breathed​ in some more air. I was gasping already. Grabe.

I looked straight into her eyes and I was completely lost so I closed my eyes for I knew it was the best time. I kissed her lips slowly and gently for the first time ever and it felt like paradise. There was nothing else going on just our lips stucked on place for seconds but it felt like our souls were connected into one. She sent sensations that traveled all over me. Parang may kuryente, a thing I never felt this intense before.

Then I stopped.

All of a sudden, I felt aware of how we looked like so I asked her a stupid question. But yeah, at that point I really thought it was necessary. Nahihirapan kami by sitting alongside each other while kissing. And that, I wanted much more too.

"Seat here." I said as I tapped my lap. Seriously though, I really know it is possible and I insisted so. "Wait." I stood up and transferred to a more comfortable  place nearby.

"Hoy, kumalma ka! Paano?" She asked and honestly I really want to laugh because of her reaction but I was so hyped enough to not break the moment we currently have. She was like refusing yet wanting to do what I say at the same time. She's so cute.

"Come here." I said as I sat on a solid rock and she sat on my lap facing me. Gladly, she did -- a thing I never saw coming since I realized that it doesn't actually look good too see us in this way. But, it's just us two anyway. Who cares?

I hugged her and kissed her again for once leaving my hands on her waist. My hands went from caressing her shoulders to her neck with both of my thumbs on her jawline. I breathed in deeply again.

I kissed her upper lip first then eventually down to her lower lip until I was able to lead her to the rhythm. It went torrid enough for us to gasp for air without us being fully aware. Faster, deeper​ and more passionate. I was so into it until she suddenly stopped and covered my mouth with one of her fingers​.
