The Elite Men Empire Series: Into The Dark King's Lair

Chapter 21. Sarap ma-inlove!

KING's POV

I've been lying here and wide awake. Staring at these four walls like I've been doing for years.

But the only difference is...

Im thinking about her.

Just a single thought and im lost. Mapapangiti na lang ako out of the blue.

'She may be the kiss I can't forget...'

As the song goes.

God...she's beautiful.

The taste of her lips makes me lose myself. I almost did.

Akala ko tatanggi siya at sasampalin niya ako dahil hinalikan ko siya. She was trembling, I felt it.

I knew she was inexperienced. That's why katakut-takot na pagpipigil ang ginawa ko because I don't want to hurt her.

"I love you..." she whispered.

The best words I've ever heard from a girl I like. She has those innocent eyes that could melt your heart and make you believe in everything she says. Alam kong isang malaking kabaliwan pero... I know she meant it.

And so...

"Be my girlfriend."

That was my proposal. I wasn't even asking permission for her to be mine.

Kung hindi lang masyadong mabilis, I could've married her right there and then.

I know that she feels the same way for me, if not, she wouldn't have responded to my advances.

And so I thought that she would say yes...

"Maybe...not so fast."

What? I looked at her intently, rather questioning her through my eyes.

"That was my first kiss, Mr. Montereal."

I was even more amazed. How old is she again? 25? I never thought a woman her age will still be untouched. No offense meant but...Maria Clara types were long gone.

"You've never been kissed before? You've never had any man before?"

"What do you think?"

Now this is really really serious. More reason that I can't let her go. I won't. I swear I'll kill anyone na magtatangkang bastusin siya or mahipuan manlang siya. She's so fragile and so...pure.

Damn! Im her first kiss!

It felt like I've just won a million dollar deal---much more than that.

From now on, I will be her first in everything.

"Alright...Since I'm your first, let me do it properly."

"Meaning?" she asked.

"Meaning, liligawan kita, I'll ask you out and take you on dates until gusto mo na akong sagutin which I know na dun din naman papunta."

"Seryoso ka?"

"Yes. I've never been this serious in my whole life."

"Ok."

She smiled.

Yes, I'll do anything...

TWILIGHT's POV

NGA-NGA!

Ngayon naman hindi ako makatulog.

Pasado alas dose na ng madaling araw. Insomnia ba 'to o ano?
