Winter In Summer

CHAPTER 20

ZIMRAM'S POV

Am I drunk? Drunk with this kiss? It's much stronger than the drinks that I drunk awhile ago.

Her lips are soft, sweet but there's something on it, I think this will be the best alcohol I tasted, Scarlet's lips.

Slowly I pulled off the kiss, she slowly opened her eyes, she looked away, blushing... How cute.

"Rose", I said softly, feeling hot, I don't know, is this kind of science the heat transfer?

I was cold awhile ago but everytime I'm with her it's like I'm sucking every heat she have and she's the one shivering.

"Lasing ka ba?", she said. No, I'm not.

"I can clearly describe our moment, specifically", I said. I hugged our and caress her hair.

She hugged me back, "That was our first", she said.  I kissed her hair, "Yeah... caught on moment?", I said. She chuckled... "Not bad, still romantic ", she said.

"Let's go? I'll drive, you drive as if a coffin is ready at your house", I said. I am drunk awhile ago, her father introduce me in different places and mostly they offered us to drink so I just followed her dad.

Indeed, I felt how she drive that's why it makes my head turn actually it's still in pain but thank for that special kiss.

"Yeah sure, I'm also sleepy", she said sleepily. I rest my arms at her shoulder, we walked silently like we we're processing our first kiss.

I am a man and she's my first love, I take what ever that makes us special. I'm not also clingy because I live in a cold place.... Half of my life, they take it.  A thief of my life.

"Lean at my chest", I said. We are already in her motorcycle. She's in front of me, she's small so no worries I can drive.

She lean at my chest comfortably, I can smell her natural scent. As I drive, the wind touches my face harshly, a fresh air.

This is the best night strolling.

It's been 4 months I stayed here in Philippines. My memories are being covered by our memories. This country makes me puke... Damn, this past nightmares.

Slowly, my mind is being in those nightmares again... I was almost lost of sense until I heard her groan.

I felt her head leaning at my chest... Concentrate Zimram, Damn it you're with your girl. I reminded my self.

I sighed and got back at my concentration, we went home safely.

"Rose, babe...", I'm waking her up.

"We're here"

She just nodded and went down from the motor while guiding her. I held her carefully.

"Thanks", in a sleepy tone. I just fixed the position of the motor.

The lights of their house are on so I assume may tao pa.

"Andito na pala kayo, osya matulog na kayo", mukhang nakabalik na si manang.

"Thank you po, nakabalik na po pala kayo", I said.

"Ganon  talaga, hinintay ko kayo, sinabihan ako ni Ico eh... Jusko talaga yung batang iyon, sabi raw baka may dalhin tong 'Let na bangkay", kwento ni manang.
