Stonehearts 8: Peridot

Nine

He kissed me. Again. But it was unlike the first one he had given me before.

This time, it's hungry.
Demanding.
Breath-taking.
And all that is Kiel Loyzaga.

I whimper against his mouth when he started to dart his tongue across my lips. I didn't put much of a fight, because one tongue glide from him is all it took for me to grant him access inside my mouth.

I fisted my hands on his shirt, pulling him closer. I don't know how he managed his balance, but I must give him credit for not stumbling onto me. His hand left my chin, went down on my neck before he splayed his long fingers, feeling it caressing me on my nape.

I heard him groan, his sounds muffled, our mouths dancing in perfect sync, perfect rhythm. It's hard to control. Hard to put to a halt.

"Hmppnnn." thats me, or my lungs rather slowly losing their function, he's literally sucking the life out of me because I'm starting to feel dizzy from the lack of oxygen.

With one more sweep on my tongue, one more tug on my lips, he lets me go.

He rested his forehead on mine, his hand still wounded on my hair. We were both breathless, panting, heaving, and coming back to the ground after that kiss.

"You. . .I will never stop kissing you." He murmured, his breath fanning my face.

It took a little more time before he straightened his height, his eyes still on me. My eyes are glued to him. My heart frantically beating and about to lurch out of my chest.

"We finish the wedding, then we go home, fix whatever you need to fix with your EX –" he put an emphasis there. " –boyfriend, then we go out for dinner. Any favorites?"

That is where I snapped out of the spell he has put me in. Ex-boyfriend? Dinner? What?

I furrowed my brows and wiped my lips using my forearm. "What the hell are you talking about? Anong dinner? At anong pinag-uutos-utos mo diyan?"

He smirked, "After that kiss, you think I'm letting you get away? Akala ko malinaw na ako kanina?"

I grabbed my bag and stood. I quickly put a distance between us. Because I think, any moment now, he'll putting me back on the daze his lips bestow.

"Hoy, ikaw! Tigil-tigilan mo na ako. Hindi ko alam kung anong trip mo, pero hindi na ako natutuwa sa'yo."

"I beg to disagree about the part of you not being happy, baby. Because the moment your lips are on mine you don't seem to put up a fight. Gustong-gusto mo pa nga."

I felt my cheeks flare, because he's right. Damn it! He's right! But I'm not giving him that satisfaction. I pursed my lips thinly and glared at him.

"'Wag mo nga akong ma-baby-baby!"

"Bakit ayaw mo bang maging baby ko? O gusto mo gawa na lang tayo para may baby na tayo?"

Napa-atras ako saka napahawak sa dibdib ko. My dream of a kid that looks exactly like him hit me like a truck on a freeway. Fuck!

I felt cold and uneasy. He must've seen the look on my face because his grin disappeared.

He tried to advance towards me, but I raised my hands, "Don't." my voice sounded firm though I'm near on breaking at the seams.

He stopped and I took that as the chance to get away. Matulin ang paglakad ko, hindi ko nga alam kung may nabangga ba akong mga turista, nagambala na mga nagtitinda. Hingal na hingal ako nang nakapasok ako sa kwarto ko.
