" I'm drunk Reyna ko, I might as well use it as an excuse. 'Tong gagawin ko, kalimutan mo" He said. Nalito naman ako sa sinabi niya. Magsasalita pa sana ako ng maramdaman ko ang labi niya sa akin.
I mentally cursed when I felt him kiss me. I thought it was just a peck but it wasn't because I tasted alcohol in his lips.
I didn't return him the favor. I didn't kiss him back, still shocked at what he's doing he finally let go of my lips and breathed deeply near my neck. This was the first time he kissed me. This was the first time I get to taste that lips. We stayed on that position for a couple of minutes before he finally said something I don't want to forget for the rest of my life.
" Don't make me fall down on my knees Gabriel. But don't stop me if I will and just say yes" He said before getting up and helping me stand.
