Paula

My face heat up. Lips parted a bit and shock was written on my face. What the shit? He's not even taken aback from requesting that kiss.. from me! Na parang kay daling ibigay at bibigay talaga ako sa kan'ya.

Hindi n'ya ako tinantanan sa titig at talagang hinintay ang isasagot ko. Like, h-how? Magye-yes ba ako? Ano bang maaaring mangyari sa isang oras na halikan? Makakahinga ba ako do'n o pwedeng magpahinga rin 'pag naubusan ng hangin? Shit. Shit. Shit.

And will my lips be swollen during and after that kiss? Somehow,

I started off by opening my lips and about to say something but I was interrupted when he laughed not wholeheartedly but just...so freaking manly. Ang sarap pakinggang ng tawa n'ya. Umaalingaw-ngaw at binubuhay ang tahimik na kwarto namin. The sway from the waves incorporated with his manly-sexy laughter. That's even beyond my imagination. My senses didn't work at his laugh. Kaya nagtataka at namamangha akong nakatingin sa kan'ya, bumaba sa baywang ko ang mga kamay at marahan na pinisil ang laman ko. That move made me shiver a bit. He looked like he's quitely examining my body.

He bit his lower, pailalim na tiningnan ako kaya nagmistulang nakakunot ang noo n'ya. "Did I scare you a bit?" He funnily asked me.

Shit! He's toying me! Sinara ko ang labi at nagpakawala ng naiinis na hininga. Bahagya ko s'yang tinulak, mas matuwa pa s'ya nang dahil doon.

He laughed, hinuli ang mga kamay kong pumalo sa kan'ya. "Sorry, sorry. I was just trying your patience."

Ngumiwi ako. He landed my palms on his hard and broad chest. "My patience? Para saan? If I know, suhol mo lang 'tong pa-relos mo dahil iiwan mo pala ako rito. Dahil kung alam ko lang na may iba kang gagawin dito, hinid mo ko mapapasama!" That's true. Kung mas maaga n'yang sinabi sa akin itong trip na ito, I'd considered my sister's disapproval to go out of town with him--lalo na at lalaki s'ya. Hindi na ako minor pero bata pa rin para sa ganitong lakad. I was surprised, pinayagan s'ya ng ate ko.

Dahil kaya sa boyfriend ko na s'ya?

He got my attention nang tinaas pa n'ya ang mga braso ko at pinulupot sa leeg n'ya. Making me leaned closer at him, encircled my arms on his neck. I tiptoed when he snaked in his strong arms on my waist. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang mainit n'yang katawan. For me, this is more than just an embrace. We're clinging to each other. Body to body. Face to face. Fanning each other's breath. Lips that an inch away from each other. My heart is now taking its lifetime beats!

"That meeting was unplanned. But I'd like to entertain them for business's expansion--pero kung magseselos pala ang girlfriend ko nang dahil do'n, ika-cancel ko na lang para hindi na tayo maghiwalay." Binunggo-bunggo n'ya ang tungki ng ilong sa akin. He spoke like it's just a simple matter.

"At sino'ng nagsasabing nagseselos ako?" I grimaced.

"You looked like one, babe." He proves by staring at my face-my eyes.

I looked at him with a surprised kind of face as my unaffected reaction. "Hindi 'no! O-Okay na ako rito..hindi naman siguro ako mawawala sa resort na 'to..Sige na," Taboy ko na lang. The excitement didn't subside yet.

"Are you sure? If you say no--I'd do that." He suggested.

I pouted my lips a bit. I shook my head. Do I have that power over him? Nah. "That's your business, hindi ako makikielam d'yan. Saka, muk'ang mahalagang meeting 'yan. I'll be fine here," Hindi ko kinaya ang straight n'yang paninitig sa mga mata ko, yumuko ako at pinatong ang noo sa baba n'ya. This man, he's making my world collapsed in one kick from his fighting eyes. Pa'no n'ya nagagawa iyon sa akin? He seems relaxed and cool with it. Hindi tulad ko na nalulunod at nako-conscious sa ganoong atensyon.
