OVER AND OVER AGAIN (LBS#1)

Chapter 26

"Hi, good evening!" Ang una kong nakita nang idilat ko ang aking mga mata ay ang mapupungay na mga mata ni Josiah. He sweetly smiled at me that it felt like he's ruling in a candy kingdom. He's the only person that I know who can smile that way. Kahit na binalot 'ata ng kaseryosohan ang kanyang pagmumukha, kaya niya pa ring ipakita ang isang ngiti na bubuo ng araw mo. "Your friends are looking for you." He softly said. It's like he is talking to a baby.

I shifted my position and hugged the cotton-like sheets in my bed.
It feels so good to be here. It's so relaxing. And right now, all I need is a breathe of fresh air. All I need is the warm welcome of Josiah here in his house. I closed my eyes and a soft caress on my left cheek from Josiah dragged me back to my reverie.

"Pardon?" My raspy voice asked the man in front of me, smiling so sweet.

He groaned like he's trying to stop something.
"You know what, can I kiss you?" He asked me like it's the thing that makes him so frustrated.

Napangiti ako sa kanyang sinabi at napa-iling. "What happened early this morning is enough. You already kissed me, My Knight!" Natatawa kong sabi sa kanya.

"Just another one. The las-" before he could say anything, I grabbed his neck and lowered his head so that his lips would met mine.

I could feel how his lips moved against mine and I know we are just doing this because we want to.
It's not that we need to do this, but it's because we want to kiss each other. When we were still in Korea, we kissed a lot. Some of our kisses are just for fun and some are just...lust.

A knock from the door brought us to the real world and a soft caress on his hair ended what we're doing.
"Damn..." tanging nasabi ko saka ngumisi sa lalakeng nakatingin sa akin ng seryoso.

"Who's there?" Malakas ang boses na tanong ni Josiah sa kung sino man ang kumatok.

"Kuya, Cresandria's visitors are waiting. What the hell are you doing inside her room? Or should I ask what the hell are the both of you doing inside this fucking room?" Larina being so straightforward caused my chuckling.

"Just one more," abuso 'to! Pero imbes na pigilan ko siya ay agad kong pinaunlakan ang kanyang mga halik. We're both kissing each other like it's gonna be the end of the world tonight and it feels so great. His touches are waking my senses up and my body's being responsive to his sensual caress and kisses. "Oh, shit," he muttered when he ended our kiss.

"I guess you need a long cold shower, babe." What do you call our set-up? Friends with benefits? Maybe...not. I don't know. Natural lang kasi lahat ng nangyayari sa aming dalawa. "You know...may nagising 'ata sa pagkakatulog." Pabiro akong tumingin sa kanyang ibaba at natawa ako na nakikita ko ang pagkabuhay nito kahit na naka shorts siya. Yayks! Natatawa nalang talaga ako sa tuwing ginagawa namin ito.

"Oh, my gosh! Maybe the both of you are doing something...oh!" Napasinghap agad si Larina nang marahas na binuksan ni Josiah ang pintuan at agad na lumabas.

The woman eyed me suspiciously and I raised a brow at her.

"What kind of look is that?" I asked.

Halos magsalubong ang kanyang dalawang kilay at napailing-iling.
"Uh, I need to investigate. Ilang years ko na din itong napag-iisipan." She said in a very low tone, but I still managed to hear her said it.

Napa-alis nalang ako sa aking kama at napansin kong suot ko pa rin ang sleeveless kong red dress kaya agad kong kinuha ang aking roba saka lumabas sa aking kwarto.

Nagkanda-ugaga naman sa pagsunod sa akin ang aking kaibigan na siyang kapatid ni Josiah na si Larina Meneses. Para na siyang mababaliw habang iniisip kung ano nga ba ang himalang nangyari sa loob ng tinutuluyan kong kwarto.
"Who are my visitors, Lars?" I casually asked Larina who stared at me in awe. Parang hindi pa siya makapaniwala na tinatanong ko siya. "Larina, wake up!" I snapped my fingers in front of her beautiful face.
