Burning Flowers
I don't know where I started to believe in fairytales, or when I started to see stars in the middle afternoon... they are so beautiful and fascinating, mostly if it's true. It was impossible but to feel it, is really something new and beyond possible to think.
Nanatili akong tahimik habang pinapakalma ang sariling pagkahingal at pusong naghuhurumentado.
A fairytale should have two characters, a princess and a prince. That's how I see it in television, I'm not a princess and he's not a prince, definitely not my prince but I felt like dreaming of us to those characters after he kissed me.
At least I felt how it feels like to be in a fairytale, huh? Kissed by the man I treated a prince!
I bit my lower lip when my breathing became calm, medyo. Huminga ako ng malalim at bahagyang inangat na ang aking mukha. My face is still on his broad shoulder, my lower part face was covered by it.
Mula sa windshield ay nakikita ko ang matinding liwanag ng araw sa labas. Some rays touches my forehead and his back, natatabunan ng kapunuan ang kagubatan kaya marahan lamang ang araw na tunatama rito. Birds were flying from tree to tree, they looked so cute.
Ngumuso ako at bahagyang nalapat iyon sa kanyang t-shirt.
Muli akong huminga ng malalim, his scent filled my nose very well that I just want to sniff him over and over again until I get enough. His other hand reached my curves, ang isa naman ay nasa aking likuran parin at marahang humahaplos na parang pinatutulog ako.
Halos kabahan ako nang marahan niya akong hilahin para ilayo, agad akong nagtago muli sa kanyang balikat. My hands on his chest were crumpling his shirt, pulling him.
He chuckled lowly.
"What?"
"I don't wanna see your face..." I pouted like a super duck.
He laughed lowly. Uminit ang pisngi ko, halos lamukusin na ang kanyang t-shirt.
"How can I do that?"
"You alien, you took my first kiss!" I hissed with a fake anger.
Hindi naman ako nagsisisi pero nagsisisi ako na mali pa ang oras na kinuha niya ang first kiss ko, I told myself I won't lose my first until I turned eighteen and legal! I'm just sixteen and will be seventeen next six days! Isang taon pa!
And this alien took it while I was so annoyed! Hindi man lang magical! Sa gubat pa talaga at sa sasakyan! My goodness, I just lost it without justice of first sweetest kiss! He should be thankful for his soft lips that felt like heaven.
Humalakhak siya, I felt his soft lips on my ear. I shivered so bad, gustuhin ko man lumayo ay nanatili akong tago ang mukha sa kanyang balikat. Ayaw kong mapahiya dahil sa sobrang pula ng mukha!
"Can't help it, you're throwing too much." he said softly.
I pinched his chest, he growled like hurt fakely.
"But you're not my boyfriend!" I spat. "Your girl is Minerva and your crush is Amrose! You should've kissed them, not me!"
Ugh! I'm so pissed everytime it comes to my mind! Para akong dinudurog ng sariling inhibisyon na hindi talaga ako gusto nito kahit halikan ng ilang beses.
Humalakhak siyang muli, hindi ko napigilan ang ngiting lumabas kaya mabilis akong bumusangot ng peke.
"The fuck, boyfriend! You're not allowed to have one!" he said.
