A Journey of Two Night Goers: The Other Moment (Journey Series)

Chapter 18

I helped her climb up the rooftop and we sat near the edge, watching the concert nearby. It's actually Ben and Ben. One of the notorious Filipino bands. We were silent watching them. But not totally silent, since the only noise we heard in the rooftop was my chewing on the food. I would close my eyes at times, savoring the food and the music. But most of the time, I would look at Flo and check her from time to time.

"You want some?" I asked, offering my fries to her, causing her to turn to me. But she smiled weakly, shook her head, and declined the offer.

"Why didn't you eat along with me earlier?" She asked.

"I had to make sure you'll eat first." I said with mouth full, "You're terribly hurt. By the way, is it better now? Do you feel fine?" I then took her wounded hand and caressed it gently.

"Yeah, I guess so."

"Tell me if it hurts okay? We'll go back to the hotel immediately if it does."

"What about Misa de Gallo?"

"We'll just attend the Christmas Mass on 25th. I don't want you hurting in the middle of the Misa de Gallo."

"It's just a cut Mikey. Not a big deal."

"It's more than just a cut. There's a reason why you did it. And that reason hurts." I said as I continued eating. Just as I was finished, tears fell down her cheek as she looked at me.

"Flo? Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

She smiled weakly and shook her head, "It's just..."

"What?"

"I wish I met you earlier. Like, when the pain is not yet worse. It just... it hurts, and I've always hated cutting myself. I don't know why I do it but I just cut myself because it really hurts. Maybe... maybe if I met you quite early, maybe I won't be doing any of this, knowing that you have my back." She sobbed.

"I'm sorry if I didn't meet you at a much earlier time Flo."

"No." She shook her head, "Don't be sorry for something you can't control."

"It's okay Flo. I wish I can go back in time. I wish I met you earlier so that when it hurts, I'll be there in a heartbeat. I'll take care of you. I'll be someone you can lean on and a shoulder you can cry on. I would be everything that you need Flo, because I care for you, I really do. And even if I won't say it much, I would find a way to let you know that I really care for you. After all, you've always been the coolest woman I've met."

After all, I've fallen in love with you.

I smiled and reassured her until I was surprised by her again. And this time, this is the surprise quite big for me.

She quickly leaned towards me and kissed me. Her lips were soft and wonderful against mine. As I was about to kiss her back, she then let go and bowed my head. I then looked at her and saw that she was embarrassed by what she did. But I showed her that it's okay. I then wiped her tears in her cheeks and placed my hand in the back of her neck, pulling her close to me as I leaned and kissed her. She then kissed back and it felt like pure euphoria. This moment was amazing. Our kiss was in sync and we can even feel our hearts beat in sync. This is heaven. I can't ruin this moment.

Moments later, the kiss went deeper and became quite intense. It became intense to the point where I sat facing her without breaking the kiss. To my surprise, she suddenly straddled me and started moving her hips. I moaned in the middle of our kiss. She just found my sweet spot. Is this happening? I thought as she pushed me, making me lay down. She then broke the kiss and took off her jacket, exposing her tank top. This is really happening. I thought as she kissed me again, moving her hips against me as I felt my jeans tighten. I then lifted the hem of her shirt a bit, gripping her exposed waist. Moments later, I rolled us over, with me hovering above her. We kissed again as her hands went under my shirt, touching my torso. I then took my shirt off seconds later, breaking the kiss and us running out of breath.

"Woah." She mumbled, earning a smirk from me as I kissed her again. I then moved my lips to her neck, kissing it with wet kisses as her legs wrapped around my waist. I then started to remove the straps of her tank top, kissing her collar bone.

"Uh, Mikey."

"Yeah?" I asked while sucking a part of her shoulder, causing her to moan softly. I smirked in victory. I just found her sweet spot and decided to focus on it until...

"Mikey, no." She said as she pulled my face and made me look at her, "We can't do this."

"Why not?"

She then looked at the concert then back at me, "People can see us up here."

"Shit." I whispered as she giggled softly, "Sorry." I then sat up and she sat up as well.

"It's okay. We'll just do it at a right time and right place."

"Right." I said as I wore my shirt again. She wore her jacket as well. Afterwards, we both lied down.

"Comfort cuddle? Until Misa de Gallo?" I smiled.

"Yes." She said as she cuddled to me and we slept, listening to the band's songs in their concert below.
