Dream Guy

59th

Vallerie's POV:

I gulped. Nandito ako sa likod ng kissing booth, while Triss is talking to the owner of the kissing booth, her friend from a different school.

Don't ask me how they're friends, I don't know either.

You see, Triss' idea became worse. Ang plano kasi makakahalik ko lamang ang lalaking naka-assign sa guys.

But well, an evil idea came in Triss' mind. And that is to make me the girl to be kissed, not the girl to kiss a guy.

What I mean is, magiging blindfolded ako while a random guy I don't know will kiss me. Worse part? Ang daming nakapila na lalaki sa labas.

For some reason, napapayag ni Triss yung friend niya.

So nilagay na ni Triss yung sleeping mask sakin. "Girl, good luck to you. Saranghaeee" sabi ni Triss saka humalakhak. I wanted to glare at her but I can't see her.

"I swear Triss, kapag may naka-halikan akong lalaki na sobrang kadiri masasapak kita ng todo-todo" sabi ko, still blindfolded. Narinig kong tumawa si Triss.

"Ay nga pala, sabi ni Clint aalis lang daw muna siya sandali. Gutom na daw kasi siya" sabi ni Triss. I nodded, in approval.

"Now go, girl!" Biglang tulak sakin ni Triss.

Pumasok ako dun sa pagtatayuan ko because of Triss who pushed me. Although I can't see anyone, I know maraming nakatingin sakin. I can sense it.

"Please welcome our girl kisser!" Sabi ng isang lalaki na di ko maalala ang pangalan.

I could sense someone coming close to me. As I said, I can't see. Pero I have a feeling this guy's familiar. Familiar scent, familiar feeling. Parang kilala ko siya but I can't remember who.

He kissed me. Even his lips felt familiar.

But it's impossible, since si YZ lang naman ang nakahalikan ko ever in my entire life. Or maybe nahalikan ko while I'm aware of what's happening in life.

But enough with that. This guy's a good kisser. His lips were pressed against mine and I could feel that it was sort of...romantic?

Finally, he stopped and parted our lips. Nakahinga na ko and I heard his deep breaths, he's also out of breath.

I removed my blindfold.

But to my surprise, no one is in front of me.

Ano yun, hinalikan ko hangin? Ganun? Ulol.

I scanned the people, looking for someone familiar na lalaki na nandito banda. Clint.

Clint was there sa harap ng kissing booth, smiling.

I suddenly felt someone pull me from behind. Triss pulled me towards her. Right, I'll just ask her kung sino yun.

"Huy! Sinong nakahalikan mo?" Tanong niya. I looked at her, confused. "I don't know. Hindi mo ba nakita?" I asked. She shook her head.

"Si Sir Sarezi kasi bigla nalang ako tinawag. He asked some weird questions, I don't even know why he called me. Anyway, bakit di mo alam? Pwede mo namang alisin yung blindfold, you know" sabi niya.

"I did. Pero walang taong nasa harapan ko. And what's even more weird is familiar yung guy. It's like I already kissed him before" sabi ko.

"Baka si Clinton?" Tanong niya. I looked at her in disgust, "Hoy di ko hinalikan ever si Clint!" I said.

"Tanga hindi kasi si Clinton Zamien" sabi niya. Aba natawag pa kong tanga. "Clinton I mean, Clinton na napaginipan mo" sabi niya.

Sudden realization came to me. Totoo nga ba? Si Clint na ba yun? As in THE Clinton na hindi ko alam kung nag-eexist before?

"Kasi epal si Sir eh. Tinawag-tawag pa ko. Tch" Triss complained. Oo nga naman, kung di siya tinawag ni Sir eh di sana nakita na si Clint from my dream.

Pero is it possible? Did I really actually kiss Clinton? THE Clinton from my dream?
