VII

I was already lying on the couch, without noticing how did I tranformed from sitting on the floor to lying on the couch. Clyde was above me and we're both still kissing each other.

No, we're making out. Both of my hands are placed on his nape while his hands travel from my arm down to my waist. His kisses moved from my lips down to my neck. His warm breathe gave chills in my body. I felt his hands massaging my waist. The ticklish feeling lose to the heat he's sending to my body. How did we end up here?

That's when my sanity comes back. I pushed him with all the energy left in my body. I started catching my breathe when I realize that I wasn't breathing properly.

When I looked at him, I realize that I am not the only one who's not breathing, he's also not. That's why he's also catching his breathe. We were now on the both ends of the sofa.

Defense, Yves! Defense!

"Why did you kiss me!" Pagalit kong sigaw sa kaniya. Nagulat yata siya sa bigla kong pagsigaw. Parang nagtatagis ang bagang niya sa sobrang paghahabol ang hininga.

"You respond, Yves!" Depensa niya sa akin. Pero kahit na! Hindi sana mangyayari iyon kung hindi niya ako hinalikan.

"I wouldn't, if you didn't kiss me!" Inis na sagot ko sa kaniya. Nagsalubong naman ang kilay niya dahil sa sinabi ko.

"Very nice reasoning, Yves. Very nice." He mocked me. I watched he brushed his thumb to his lower lips. He keeps on doing that, as if thinking what we have done earlier.

"What are you thinking? Get out of here!" I hysterically stated as I stand. Pinilit kong tumayo nang maayos kahit na nanlalambot ang aking tuhod.

"No! Hindi pa ubos yung pizza!" Sagot niya sa akin at kumuha ng isang slice sa pizza box na ngayo'y nakalapag na sa sahig.

Napahawak ako sa aking sentido at hinilot iyon. Pinili ko na tahakin na lamang ang daan papunta sa aking kwarto.

Hindi ko na alam kung paano haharapin itong lalaki na ito na parang hindi apektado sa ginawa namin kanina. Humiga ako sa kama at nagtalukbong.

I can't stop thinking about it! Every time that I will close my eyes, I'm always reminded of how his soft lips gently touch mine. Putangina, Guzman! Anong ginawa mo sa akin?

Ilang saglit ay nakarinig ako ng katok sa pintuan.

"Hoy! Huwag mo na ako isipin babe!" Bigkas niya. Wala ba talagang awat ang pang-aasar niya sa akin?

"Shut up! Get out of my house!" Sigaw ko lamang sa kaniya pabalik.

"Siguro iniisip mo yung halika-" Hindi niya na natapos ang sasabihin niya at agad kong natawid ang pagitan ng kama at ng pinto. Binuksan ko iyon agad!

"Pwede ba? Hindi ako napatol sa bata!" Sigaw ko sa kaniya at binangga ang balikat niya.

Dumiretso ako sa kusina at kumuha ng maiinom na tubig. Inisang inom ko ang buong laman ng baso.

"Masyado ka naman affected, Babe. Gusto mo ba ulitin na lang natin baka namiss mo na agad." He really loves seeing me annoyed! Hindi ko pwedeng ibigay lang kung ano ang gusto niya.

"What are you saying, Bata?" Asar ko sa kaniya pabalik.

"What are you saying Bata?" He repeated as he mocked me. "Dalawang taon lang tanda mo sa akin!" Depensa niya. "Hindi naman iyon masama, a!" Tuloy niya pa. He really thinks na papatulan ko siya.
