Last Kiss [ONE-SHOT]

“Siguraduhin mo lang. By the way, bye guys. I’m going home. Inaantay na ko ni Mark.” Nagsalute sya sa amin bago kumakaway na umalis. Mark is my bestfriend’s boyfriend. One year na silang mag-on. Strong right? Sana kami rin ni Matthew, I love him that damn much na gusto kong sya na makasama ko habang buhay.

Sounds corny, but that’s what I really want and feel. I love him kaya di ko na pinatagal ang panliligaw nya sa akin. Two months nya akong niligawan.

“Sweety, let’s go.” He held my hand at pumunta na kami sa kotse nya. He opened the door for me bago sya mabilis na sumakay sa kabila.

“Matt—“ di ko na natuloy ang sasabihin ko nang biglang lumapit ang mukha nya sa mukha ko.

Palapit ng palapit kaya napapikit nalang ako and waited for his lips touch mine.

“Ehem... Sweety, you can open your eyes...” napamulat agad ako nang mata at nilagay lang pala nya yung seatbelt sa akin.

I thought he'll kiss me!

“Disappointed?” nakangisi nyang sabi at tinaas pa ang kilay.

“Di no—“ I was stopped again from talking when his lips suddenly touched mine, that was just a smack but it's...its ecstatic.

“Okay na?" He laughed heartily. He smiled at me bago ginulo ang buhok ko. Inumpisahan na nya ang pagdadrive nang may ngiti sa labi. Napangiti naman ako.

Kinuha ko ang album ni Taylor Swift sa bag ko, I’m an avid fan of her. It’s Speak now. I played the CD and “Last kiss” starts playing...dito ko pala na-stop yung kanta kagabi, kaya ito na yung nag-play.

I still remember the look on your face
Lit through the darkness at 1:58
The words that you whispered for just us to know
You told me you loved me so why did you go away, away

I do recall now the smell of the rain
Fresh on the pavement, I ran off the plane
That July 9th the beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt, I can still feel your arms

But now I'll go sit on the floor wearing your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you'd miss...

Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

I stared at Matthew and smiled.

I do remember the swing of your step
The life of the party, you're showing off again
And I roll my eyes and then you pulled me in
I'm not much for dancing but for you I did
Because I loved your handshake, meeting my father
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
How you'd kiss me when I was in the middle of saying something
There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions

I sighed when the music ends. Ang sakit lang kasi. Iiwan ka pagkatapos sabihing mahal ka nya?

“Sweety...” napaharap ako kay Matthew nang tawagin nya ko.

“What?” I smiled.

“Love you.” Naramdaman kong namula ako at agad na nag-iwas ng tingin. Ang bilis rin ng tibok ng puso ko.

“Halika ka na nga.” Ngumiti sya at lumabas ng kotse. At dun ko narealize nasa tapat na pala kami ng bahay.

“Sweety..." napatigil ako at napatingin sa side ko na nabuksan na pala ni Matthew.

“Thanks Sweety..” Ngumisi ako at ninakawan sya ng halik sabay takbo papasok ng bahay. Napalingon pa ako at nakita ko ang pagkatulala ni Matthew.
