It Takes One Kiss [One Shots/Short Stories]

Kiss ¤ 3

She needs an alone time this time. Ugh. Dumagdag pa kasi si Maze sa mga iniisip siya. But then again.. Matagal na niyang iniisip ito.. She was just oblivious of it. Or at least thinking nothing about it in that way.

She went to the locker room and changed outfit. She wore a black with pink neon sports bra and plain black workout shorts. Nagsuot rin siya ng Nike shoes to complete her workout attire. She went to the treadmill and started running. Being a cheerleader, she needs to be fit kaya madalas rin siya sa gym. Kung ayaw niya sa playground ay dito siya nagpapapawis. Kaso maraming epal na lalaki dito kaya minsan rin ay mas gusto niya doon sa playground. But fortunately today ay wala namang lumapit sa kanya. She just kept on running with earphones on her ears. Music also calms her down pero hindi niya inasahan ang sumunod na kanta sa kanyang playlist.

Love is real
It is not just in novels or the movies
It is fact and it is standing here
Right in front of you

So if you just open your eyes
Oh, what a sweet discovery
There is hope and there is joy
And there is acceptance

So let all the light that collects on your plants
Keep you warm, make you smile
And I will be there with this pen in my hand
To record all the while

You'll be laughing so loud
That the house would shake with sound
And everything will be as new
As the day it was found

Oh, love is real
It is not just in long distance commercials
Or something that you thought you felt
Back in high school

So I will turn black and white
Become that horoscope you're reading
It predicts that something good is on its way

Oh and I'll send you all the world
Green and blue in a box through the mail
You can open it up
Hold it right in your hand

And be glad that it's there
And be glad that you're there
Now you can feel all the knots in your stomach
They start to untie
And suddenly it's not so hard to say you're alright

Oh, love is real
It is not just in poetry or stories
It is truth and it will follow you
Everywhere you go from now on

So if you just cast off your doubts
Then your lips would answer for you
Oh, my darlin', when you smile
It is like a song

And I can hear it now
And I can hear it now
I can hear it now
I can hear it now
And I can hear it now

I can hear it now
I can hear it now
I can hear it now

Hindi niya alam kung nagkataon lang ba o nananadya talaga ang tadhana. But then tila napaisip na naman siya dahil sa kanyang iyon at umulit ang isang lyrics nito sa kanyang utak.

Love is real.. It is not just in novels or the movies.. It is fact and it is standing here right in front of you.

And specially this..

So if you just cast off your doubts.. Then your lips would answer for you.

It reminds her again of that kiss.. That kiss with Maze. No, hindi ito tulad ng naramdaman niya sa halik ni Jiro sa kanya noon. It was.. different. In what way? Well, in all possible way. Now that she think of it.. Maze's kiss.. It gave her more intense feelings she have never felt before. Kaya nga siya nababaliw ngayon sa kakaisip!

Itinigil niya ang pagtakbo at gumilid bago uminom ng tubig sa kanyang water bottle. Huminga siya ng malalim saka inalis ang earphones sa tenga niya. Kinuha niya ang kanyang towel at nagpunas ng pawis sa mukha. Pero natigilan siya ng may nakitang pamilyar na lalaki sa kabilang dulo ng gym.
