It was definitely different from the kiss he initiated back then. And I think I'll take back what I said when I thought of him as a beginner in this. I was expecting an awkward and sloppy kiss...but no, I don't think he's even new to this. 

His lips felt so warm and soft now that it's languidly moving against me. It was slow yet it's deep that I can feel each movements he's making. It was just a normal open mouth kiss but there's something in it that I find different. I can't even pinpoint what it is. 

Seconds later, I responded. 

We were kissing passionately while I was sitting on his lap. Mas lumalim ang halik sa pagitan namin nang humalik ako pabalik.

I was so sure that me responding to his kiss was to show him that I definitely got the authority in this, but that made me doubt myself because as time passes by, I am getting nervous as we continuously kiss. 

I can feel myself getting goosebumps as we kiss each other torridly. The warmth on his palm that I'm feeling on my back made me flinch. I feel like I wasn't functioning with the way he's kissing me. 

I opened my eyes a bit and shudder when I immediately made contact with his eyes. His jet black eyes were open. He was like watching my every action while we were kissing. Dahil hindi ko matagalan ang makipagtitigan ay pumikit na lamang ako. 

Kahit malamig ay pakiramdam ko binibinat ako sa sobrang init. Gusto kong huminga dahil pakiramdam ko sa dami kong nararamdaman ngayon ay napapagod ako. But at the same time, I don't want it to end yet. 

Shit. Delikado nga. 

I heard short beep sounds from my smartwatch. Tumigil siya sa paghalik. I was panting. I was breathing heavily when he pulled away. He was watching my reaction as I looked at him drowsily. 

His lips looks tender and red since we just made out for I don't know how long. Hinawakan niya ang palapulsuhan ko at may pinindot sa relo. Wala ako sa tamang pag-iisip at mukhang hindi pa ako nakaget-over sa nangyari. He glanced at the smartwatch on my wrist. 

"W-What..." halos hangin na lang iyon na lumabas sa bibig ko.

"You've burned fifteen calories in a three-minute kiss." 

Umawang ang labi ko sa isiniwalat niya. He licked his lower lip before showing me the record from the smartwatch. It was indeed what he said. At ngayon ko lang na-realize na 'yong kinakalikot niya kanina sa relo ay para i-set 'yong timer. 

"Your heart rate's still increasing." he said, his attention was still on that damn watch after that intense make-out session. 

Mas lalo lamang akong namula. I can't believe that he's done that for the sake of checking if the calculation from a study was accurate. Gusto kong maglaho muna ngayon sa Earth dahil sa kahihiyan.

"Their data was somewhat right," he said as a matter of fact. "You exceeded it, though." 

Napayuko ako dahil wala akong masabi. We just made out and he's telling me these weird shits!

Huminga ako nang malalim para pakalmahin ang sarili ko pero halos umusok ang mukha ko dahil sa pag-init nito. I was suppose to be throwing some teasing remarks now. Nasaan na 'yong tapang na pinaglalaban ko kanina? 

I was about to stand up but his arm encircled on my waist, stopping me. Kumunot ang noo ko at tumingin sa kanya. He was not saying anything but he was just looking at me. 

"Still not enough?" he asked, but I think he was making fun of me because my reaction is telling otherwise. 

I tried my best to smirk. "Yep,"
