"But you're not"
I stopped arguing. Parang mauubusan ako ng lakas at tatakasan ng katinuan. I can't compete with her energy.
We went out for the day para mag sight seeing. I became her photographer. Why did I resigned to such fate?
"It's fun pag may kasama di ba?" Masaya niyang sabi pagkapasok namin sa hotel room.
Tumango na lang ako dahil maglilista siya ng pros and cons if I don't agree.
"Let's celebrate girlfriend." Sabi niya habang tumatawa at naglabas ng isang bote ng vodka. Binuksan na niya iyon at nagsalin sa baso.
"That's just for a show kanina." Pag kontra ko.
She got hit on by some italian dude kasi kaya sinabi niyang may relasyon kami para tumigil.
Inabutan niya ako ng isang baso na halos umapaw na. I'm a light weight. But hindi naman siguro masama kung iinom ako ng konti.
"What do you think of me? Isang araw pa lang tayo magkasama pero siguro naman may impression ka sa akin no?" She's already tipsy.
"Para kang tumor." Nanlaki ang mata niya. "A benign tumor - harmless, non cancerous but sometimes annoying."
"Iniisip ko kung tatanggapin ko yan as a compliment or maiinsulto ako." Nakatitig siya sa akin.
"I'm just being honest." I shrugged.
Tumahimik naman na siya. Inubos ko lang yung isang baso at nagsabi na maghihilamos na ako. Sumunod naman siya after ko. By 10pm ay lights out na kami sa kwarto.
"Girlfriend pwede makitabi?" Bulong niya.
"Takot ka ba sa multo?" Tanong ko.
"No, I, bigla ko kasi naalala yung pag grab nung lalaki sa braso ko."
I made space for her. It is pretty traumatic if a bulky guys grab you anyway. Tumabi siya sa akin and we're shoulder to shoulder.
"Have you ever kiss someone?" Tanong niya after niya makahiga.
"I do.
"I never experienced being kissed. Conservative kasi parents ko so any relationship hanggang holding hands at kiss sa cheeks lang." Kwento niya.
I just nodded kahit di ko alam kung nakita ba niya. I have a feeling pero ayoko mag assume.
"Pwede ba akong mag request?" Bumaling siya sa akin.
"Basta kaya ko."
"Can you kiss me? Can you be my first kiss?"
I was so confused. This girl really don't have any sense of damger noh?
"Please..." I felt her hand on my cheek.
Why am I being drawn in? What does she have that others don't? We're supposed to be strangers still.
Pero pano pala kung siya yung masamang tao? Edi parehas pala kaming walang sense of danger.
"Just one kiss."
"Just one"
We leaned in. I felt her hand move at the back of my neck. I found my own hand on her waist instinctively.
Strawberries
Her lips taste like strawberries.
When she pulled me on top, I didn'teven attempt to pull away. Am I taking advantage? Or she's taking advantage? Maybe both.
I wish you cheated [2]
