Nanatili siyang nakayakap sa akin habang ako lang ang hindi mapakali sa'min. He smells so good, like a mixture of expensive perfume and his natural distinct scent. Hindi ko napigilan at sinamantala ko ang posisyon namin para amuyin siya lalo.

I felt him stiffen. "Stop that,"

Hindi ako sumunod at nagpatuloy ako sa paglanghap sa kanya. I moved closer to him and smelled him more. His manly scent is subtle and addicting.

"I said stop it, Astrid." 

May diin na sa pagbigkas niya pero hindi ako tumigil.

"Stop it or I'll kiss you."

Tumigil ako at nag-angat ng tingin sa kanya. Nakita ko ang seryoso niyang itsura kaya ngumiti ako.

"That's banned. We can't do something intimate like you said." may panunuya sa tono ng boses ko.

His brow arched. "Are you provoking me?"

"Why would I? Your words against yours."

Halos mapatili ako nang bigla niyang hinawakan ang likuran ko para mas lalo kaming magdikit. He leaned forward to my ears.

"You think I couldn't do it just because I'm trying to resist?" he whispered sensually.

Tinulak ko siya ng bahagya dahil pakiramdam ko namumula ang mukha ko.

We were lying on the same bed, for pete's sake! Tapos binubulungan niya ako nang malademonyo, e pilit ko nga tinatanggal sa isipan ko ang mga gano'ng ideya.

"Y-You should be true to your words. Sabi mo hindi na natin gagawin ulit 'yon dahil masyado pang maaga. You said we should take things slow first."

He smirked. "Aw, so my baby is bothered by it?"

"I-I'm not!"

"So, I'm the only one who's trying to resist, huh?" he chuckled. "You don't want me to kiss you?"

I didn't answer. Kung sasagot ako ay alam kong magsisinungaling din ako.

"You're not tempted to make out right now? Or I'm the only one who's thinking of doing it?"

"Pero 'yong sinabi mo!"

"Then what is it that you want, Astrid? Be honest with me."

I pursed my lips as my face heated up. When he told me he wanted to take it slow, he didn't even ask for my opinion. Sumang-ayon lang ako dahil tingin ko tama ang sinabi niya.

But hell I am lying that I don't want to be intimate with him. I want to kiss him more, but because of the freakin' rule he set I was afraid to do anything. And now he's saying these to me now?!

How unfair!

He lifted my chin up to meet his gaze. "What does my baby want?"

I bit my lip and averted his gaze. "I want to kiss you..."

Mahina ang pagkakasabi ko at sinisiguro kong hindi niya iyon maririnig. Nagulat na lang ako nang nilapat niya ang labi niya sa'kin. Mabilis lang 'yon.

"There," he smiled.

I frowned. 

There ka diyan? Iyon na 'yon? Are you kidding me right now?!

"Tss. You're making fun of me." inis na bumangon ako sa kama.

Nanatili akong nakasimangot dahil sa ginawa niya. Narinig ko ang halakhak niya sa may tabi ko. Bumangon rin siya at pinulupot ang braso sa tiyan ko.

"Aww, my baby's mad." he pulled me closer to him and back hugged me tightly.
