It Takes One Kiss [One Shots/Short Stories]

Kiss ♡ 2

     "Good morning everyone! Welcome to this year's three day community service and outreach sponsored by the Athletics Department in cooperation with the Basketball Varsity and Luciana Foundation. We are all---" Hindi ko na narinig pa ang sinabi ni Sir Ayo kasi parang may tumitingin sakin. Hindi ako mapakali kaya naman napalingon ako sa bandang kanan ko at true enough, nakatingin si Blaine sakin. Agad akong umiwas ng tingin.

      Why is he looking at me?

     You're buddies, you dummy. Sagot naman ng subconscious ko.

     Huminga ako ng malalim at sinubukan na lang na makinig kay Sir. Whooh. You can do it Jia. Just don't mind him.

     "---so each pair will be given an assigned home. But two pairs will be joined together for sleeping purposes. The girls will be sleeping separately from the boys. But before that, we will be going to the town's Home for the Aged. Each guy from the pair will have to carry one sack of goods to be brought to the place. So we have to team up now. If you're still not with your buddy, go and look for them now. Chop chop!" Napalunok ako. Hay, eto na nga ba ang sinasabi ko.

     Whooh, kalma Jia. Remember what Steph told you..

Don't show him you're nervous or tensed. Relax, just think about your work as a distraction. Wag pakitang kinikilig. Haha.

     Okay, so I'll scratch the last part. Bakit naman ako kikiligin? Eh nahihiya lang naman ako kasi nahalikan ko siya. Pero may possibility namang nakalimutan niya na ako di ba? Besides, it's been three days already and it was just an accident. Stay possitive lang.

     Nagulat na lang ako ng nasa tabi ko na siya. Si Spike naman ay nakita kong kasama na yung isa pang second year na kadepartment ko.

     "Jia, right?" Oh my, how come he sounds so..angelic? Napalingon ako sa kanya. Oh my, ang gwapo niya talaga. I smiled a little. Sana naman hindi nagmukhang pilit.

     "Uh, yes. You're Blaine I believe?" Ano pa ba? Tss. Wala kasi akong masabi. I feel speechless...at his handsome face. Bakit ang gwapo ng isang 'to? No wonder crush siya ni Steph.

     "Yup, that's me. Nice to meet you...again." Sabi niya at inilahad ang kamay niya to shake hands with me and smiled as well. Oh gosh, he looked even more handsome with that smile of his. I bit my lower lip.

     Again? What? Ibig sabihin.. Natatandaan niya ako? Shet! Paano na ako ngayon?

     I tried to keep a straight face at nakipagkamay na sa kanya. Ngumiti din ako para di ako mahalatang kinakabahan the moment our hands met. What is that electricity-like feeling? And what is this feeling inside my tummy? Gutom na ba ako?

     Agad kong inalis yung kamay ko kasi mukhang wala pa siyang balak alisin yung kamay niya. Now what? One word.. Awkward.

     Tiningnan niya lang ako na para bang sinusuri. I tried to cover my feelings with a straight face at nagsalita na.
