"Soulmate"

"Soulmate" (Chapter 4)

“We’re here…ooppss…haha, ingat lang”….I knew she got pretty drunk this time and like

the other girls who I opted to date and take home with me…in my mind, she is different…

There is something about her that amazes me…something that somehow compels me to be

good and better…when she said yes and finally went out with me…I was so damn happy

that despite my playful side…I wanted to be more serious with her.

In our times together, di ko maiwasang isipin na maybe, it’s about time to get my act together

and invest not only my time but my feelings into this…we are both attracted to each

other…she is independent and lives alone and has her career in full swing. She maintains this

small office in Makati, where she publishes books online and markets them to various stores in

US and UK. In our times together, we rarely talk about her or my personal life and instead

focused on dating. No complications, no hassles involved as we can typically find time for each

other and even travel if ever time allows.

I closed the door behind me. And as I assist her to my room…I knew that she getting drunk

will lead to something. I went inside the bathroom and upon exiting the door, I saw her lying

in my bed. She looks beautiful amidst the dim light coming from my bedside lamp…

I moved closer and sat beside her…intently looking at her pretty face. We partied coz it’s our

3rd month together as a couple tomorrow and believe it or not, tonight is the first time that I

brought her in my unit. She always refuses to come here, so I always end up visiting her in her

place. And unlike the other girls, who basically want to throw themselves at me if not seek

temporary shelter in here…Julie is different…she opts to stay where she is….

“Hmmm…I feel like shit,hahaha!” She uttered with her eyes closed…and I let out a chuckle.

“You want anything, pretty?” I asked but when she opened her eyes, I simply leaned closer

and gave her a peck on the cheek.

She let out a chuckled this time and said, “Kaw ah…manyak ka,hahaha!”

Can’t help but laugh when I heard it, “Who, me?Hahaha! There’s nothing wrong if I kiss

you, right?”

She then looked back and half-smiled…our gazes met and instinct dictates that I should give

this a shot…give myself this chance to be more intimate…with her.

As the gap becomes smaller between us…she kept on gazing back. Slowly, I moved further

until I felt my lips brushing against hers…this isn’t the first time but…it surely felt like “first”

each time…I deepened the kiss…and my hand found her waist…I felt her hand on my

nape…as if drawing me closer…and as I did, the more the kiss deepened…short breaths vs.

short breaths…the breathing then further escalated the heartbeat that I’m consciously feeling

and hearing in between our shared kisses….as my hand moves from her waist to her
