All That Matters

Tinitigan ko si Nile habang nakayuko siya sa akin. I sat nervously with my back leaning on the couch. He leaned forward. Sinubukan kong iatras ang aking katawan ngunit kulong na kulong na ako. He trapped me between his arms. Ang isa ay nasa arm rest ng couch habang ang isa ay malapit sa aking ulohan.

I held my breath. " Do you really want Trance, Adina?"

I know I should answer but I was trapped. Hindi ko alam kung saan itutuon ang atensyon ko—sa kaniya bang tanong, sa kaniyang mga mata o sa kaniyang nang-aakit na labi? All in all I was distracted. I wanted to say no because I felt something for him. Something different from what I feel from Trance pero kailangan ko bang sabihin kay Nile iyon?

He sighed heavily and grunted. Hindi siya lumayo pero nakita ko ang mariin niyang pagtitig sa aking nakaawang labi. I saw something ignited in his eyes. Kahit ako ay nakaramdam ng init nang huminga siya nang malalim at naramdaman ko iyon sa aking balat.

" Is the door locked?" aniyang bigla.

Kumunot ang aking noo. " Yes bu—hmph!"

Namilog ang aking mata sa kaniyang sunod na ginawa. His hot lips were already on mine, sending bits of heat all over my skin. Napapikit ako sa lambot ng kaniyang labing humaplos sa akin. I felt my hand shook at the feeling. Unti-unti ay naramdaman ko ang aking sarili na nakayakap sa leeg ni Nile. His arms found its way on my waist. Bahagya niyang pinisil ang aking baywang kaya napasinghap ako. His tongue licked my lips causing me to gasp ngunit tinugon ko pa rin ang nanghahamom niyang halik.

" Tell me, do you still want Trance?" Hinihingal niyang tanong sa ibabaw ng aking labi. I could feel his hands in my waist squeezing the soft part. They felt intimate and hot for me.

" Do you really want me to answer that, de Ayala?" pinaningkitan ko siya ng mata habang pinaglalaruan ng aking daliri ang mababang buhok sa kaniyang batok.

He smirked. " Of course. I need you to say it, Sweet Pea."

I held a cheeky smile on him. " Kiss me." nanghahamon kong sabi. He chuckled under his breath and pushed his body further to me. Naramdaman ko ang tigas ng kaniyang tiyan sa akin. His chest wasn't broad enough but Nile's body was like that of an athlete. Hindi nga lang sobrang improve.

" You're getting bolder." aniya.

" You made me one." I rebuked. He chuckled before placing a soft kiss on my lips. Hindi ako nakuntento doon at hinila pa siya patungo sa akin. He was practically sucking my face and I am loving the feeling of his mouth on mine.

Nile stopped after a few minutes. Tumabi siya sa akin at inakbayan ako. We became silent and then we laughed afterwards. Hindi ko alam. Maybe because we found ourselves becoming fools. I didn't know exactly what we're doing pero masasabi kong hindi namin kayang lumayo sa isa't isa. His plan of helping me backfired and he got me instead in just a span of how many weeks. And he get to kiss me. My first kiss was taken by Nile Wolfram de Ayala.

" Thanks for taking me home." sabi ko kay Nile nang tumigil siya sa tapat ng aming bahay. Nasa labas na kami ng bahay at nakatayo lang. He stared for a while before he planted a kiss on my cheek.

" Anything for you, Sweet Pea." he winked. Mahina akong tumawa bago siya pabirong itinulak. Hindi naman siya nagtagal at nagpaalam na siyang aalis. I told him to be careful while driving. Sumaludo lamang siya at umalis na.

I was smiling when I entered inside. Namataan ko si Exodus na nanunuod ng tv. He raised an eyebrow when he spotted me on the doorstep.

" What?" tanong ko dito.
