The Burning Desire

Chapter 9

"Seat here," He gently tapped his lap, gesturing me to seat.

Nag-init ang pisngi ko dahil sa naisip na larawan. Ako na nakaupo sa hita ni Jordan.

Nandito kami sa condo niya ngayon dahil walang pasok. Hindi naman kami pwedeng lumabas-labas lamang dahil baka kung sino ang makakita sa amin at mapag-usapan pa.

I am the one who suggested that we should not be seen in public a lot. Katulad ng mga mall at iba pang dating places pero sa school ay pwede dahil mukhang normal naman iyon sa magkaibagan, all though we are not.

Kahapon ang araw kung saan ay naghalikan kami sa guest room nina Raika. Kahapon din ang araw kung kailan ako gumising ng lasing.

Umalis din siya agad nang umagang iyon pero nakapag-usap naman kami ng kaunti. Sinabi niya sa akin na gusto niyang magkita kami sa condo niya ngayon.

Siya ang sumundo sa akin sa isang coffee shop papunta dito dahil hindi ko naman alam ang exact address.

We were not able to talk about our arrangement yesterday because a lot of people were around us. Kaya ito kami ngayon, mag-uusap.

I don't know if this kind of arrangement has rules but maybe we should create one?

Oo, I'm just the other girl. But it is better for us to know how we are going to work this out.

I can't help to keep off my mind what he told me yesterday.

"Why can't I get enough of you?" Does that mean he likes me too?

Ano pa ba ang dahilan para sabihin niya iyon? I'd like to think that he likes me too, the same way I like him. But I don't want to hurt myself too much dahilbaka iba naman ang ibig sabihin noon. I'd rather think that he doesn't like me. But a small part of me wants to think the positive one.

O baka naman ang ibig sabihin ng sinabi niya ay sexual desire lang para sa akin? Maybe it is his carnal instincts talking?

I sighed.

"Seat here, baby." Mas malambot niyang sinabi.

Nang mapansin na hindi ako gumagalaw ay siya na mismo ang humili sa akin papunta sa hita niya. He wrapped his big arms around my waist. His chin is resting at my shoulder.

He tilted his face on my neck. I felt him sniffing on it.

Mabuti na lamang at nagpabango ako!

I can feel his warm breath around my neck which made me blush even more. Our closeness is too much! Masyadong malapit!

I'm scared that he will here my fast beating heart!

"I though we are going to talk?" Nakangusong tanong ko sa kaniya.

I cocked my head to meet his eyes. Dahil doon ay sandaling naglapit ang tungki ng aming ilong.

Now, I can feel his fresh breath.

Napalunok ako dahil doon,nagsisisi kungbakit pa ako lumingon sa kaniya.

"We will. After we make out." His popular devilish smile flash.

Kinagat niya ang labi niya at dinilaan iyon. Then he slowly look into my eyes.

My normal breathing earlier change into a heavy one. I think their is too much tension around us.

Ang mainit niyang braso ay nakapulupot pa din sa maliit kong bewang. Pumungay ang mata niya habang tinitignan ang labi ko.
