The Stepsisters

17-First real kiss

-Jared P.O.V-

It's Steff birthday. But everything seems so wrong. For the whole morning I never saw her. She don't even invite the team for a party. After lunch break ay agad ko siyang hinanap. I found her sitting silently while throwing small stones at the abandoned room. There are tears flowing from her eyes.

"I found you atlast."

"Jared?" Sabay punas sa mga luha niya.

"Your crying?"

"Nope!"

I sat beside her. Tulala siyang nakatingin sa kawalan.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Im fine."

"Your not."

She looked at me then start to cry again. I wrapped my arms around her and let her rested on my chest. She just crying silently.

"Cheer up. May party ka pa mamaya."

"Don't have one."

"Why? You always have one every year."

"Isasabay na lang kay Angelie."

"I see."

"I hate her! She stole everything from me."

"Don't say that. You still have me Steff."

She look at me. I wipe her tears away while looking at her. Damn! I really hate seeing her cry.

"Why are you like this Jared?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean Jared."

She pouted. Damn it! She's so cute. I cupped her face and look at her eyes.

"Because I love you."

Her eyes widened but don't say a word. She just bite her lips. Shit! I slowly lean closer to her and touch my lips with her. I waited for her to slap me but she didn't. Instead she close her eyes. I close my eyes and kiss her passionately. Our first real kiss. Her lips we're so soft. I put all my feelings on this kiss. As our lips parted we both gasping for air. She look at me shyly before looking down. She's so beautiful when she's blushing.

"I have to go."

Agad siyang umalis without looking back. I close my eyes and lean on the bench. Did I really told her? I touch my lips. That kiss was different. It full of feelings. Why she let me kiss her that way? Steff why?
I grab my phone and called my teammates. And also our friends. It's the least I can do for her.

-Steff P.O.V-

After he kissed me I left. What's gotten into me. The moment our lips parted I felt so empty. I wanted more. I never felt this way from Clark.
Dumiretso ako sa sementeryo. I sat beside her tomb.

"Hi Mom! Kumusta ka na po? It's my birthday Mommy. I'm an adult already Mom. I no longer your teen girl. Sana po andito kayo."

I wrapped my knees as the cold wind touches my body. I smiled and touch my lips.

"Jared kissed me again Mommy. But Mom what is this feeling? Why I get nervous everytime he's near? I hate him Mom. He's making me crazy. That stupid jerk stole a kiss again in my birthday also! Did he really stole it this time Mommy?"

I looked up. Ayaw ko munang umuwi. I been there for almost two hours when my phone rang. Its Jared! Shit! Why am I nervous? I just watch my phone ringing until it's stop. Geez! What he wants now? Akala ko hindi na siya tatawag ulit pero mali ako. He called again.

"What is it?"

"Sa wakas sinagot mo rin!"

"Ryan? Why?"

"Where are you? We need your help."

"Why? What happened? Why do you have Jared's phone?"

"Nagkayayaan kasi kami sa condo niya. And it turns out bad. Nag-aaway sila ni Clark ngayon."

"Duh! You guys can handle them. I can't come."

"Kanina pa namin sila pinipigilan pero wala ei. Please Steff they can kill each other now."

"I'll try."

"Thanks."

Then he hung up. Pupuntahan ko ba sila? I can't face him. But what if they can kill each other really? Damn it! Those bastards are useless. Agad akong tumayo.

"I have to go Mom. I'll visit you again."

Agad akong umalis. At kapag minalas ka nga naman. Walang masyadong taxi. Shit! I have my own car. I just don't use it since Jared always dropped me home. Nang makasakay ako ay agad akong nagpahatid sa condo ni Jared. Ilang ulit na akong nag doorbell pero walang nagbukas ng pinto. Argh! I grab my duplicate key and open the door. Huh? Why it is so dark? There's no ones here! Humanda sa akin ang Ryan na yun. Geez! I open the light and my eyes widened at the view in front of me.
