Ellias Joaquin Alfaro
I wasn't able to sleep last night because every time I fucking close my eyes, I picture the kiss. I can still feel the softness of Iya's lips pressed against mine. I can still smell her scent and taste her lips. I still feel her against my skin and It's driving me fucking crazy.
"Morning," Bati ni Charry paglabas niya ng kwarto niya.
"Morning," I greeted back.
"Si Iya?" Tanong ko.
"She's still sleeping. Gusto mo ba gisingin ko siya?"
"M-May sinabi ba ko?" Tanong ko pabalik.
"Why are you stuttering?" She asked and I just looked away in return.
"Where is everybody?" I asked to change the topic.
"Cheska and Leo left to stroll the rest of the Island. Kuya and Matthew are in the other room playing video games, Elisse is at the beach while Ivan is..." Charry said, hesitating to finish her sentence.
"Ivan is?"
"He's waiting for me," Sabi niya bago siya umalis kaya naman napangiti ako. I just wish for the happiness of the two just as how much I wish for Iya's.
I know Ivan well and he deserves everything in the world, including Charry Lim.
I proceeded to the kitchen to make breakfast for me and Iya. It's almost 10 AM and everybody probably ate breakfast already. I made the usual omelet with cheddar cheese, brown rice, and I also made coffee for us. I was about to go to Iya's room to wake her up when she suddenly walked into the kitchen, half-asleep. She's looking so pretty with her oversized beige hoodie, biker shorts, and having her pretty hair in a messy bun.
"Good Morning," I greeted her.
She was startled when she saw me. She looked obviously embarrassed with her face is all red and awkward. She was about to walk out of the kitchen when I spoke.
"Let's eat. I made hangover soup since I was drunk last night," Sabi ko kaya napatingin siya sakin.
"You were drunk last night?" She asked as she sits in front of me.
"Yeah," I replied and she smiled in return, feeling relieved.
So she's trying to act as if nothing happened last night? Come on Iya Nadine, I clearly remember everything. I clearly remember how good of a kisser you are.
I stare at her as she starts eating. I studied the details of her face from her eyes, her nose, and down to her lips. She looks so damn pretty. I wanna kiss her again.
"Hindi ka ba kakain?" Tanong niya dahil napansin niyang nakatingin lang ako sa kanya.
"Nope," Tanging sagot ko.
"And why?" She asked.
"I want the taste of your lips to stay in mine," Sabi ko kaya bigla naman siyang nabulunan.
I chuckled as I hand her a glass of cold water na agad niya namang tinanggap.
"I remember everything Iya Nadine,"
"I remember how you passionately kissed me last nigh--" Hindi ko natapos ang sasabihin ko dahil bigla niyang tinakpan ang bibig ko.
"Shut up,"
"Stop being shy about it. Nahawakan mo na nga 'yung ano ko eh," Pang aasar ko kaya agad naman siyang namula.
"'Yung ano?" She asked.
