Ms. Artista (Book 2)

Twenty One

"Are you guys serious? He needs to rest."

"Why? Hindi ba siya makakapag-pahinga kapag nandito kami? Grabe ka sa'min, ha!" Pen replied to me.

They are planning to stay here in Zion's room until midnight, and it's already 8 pm.

"No, I mean—"

"It's fine, Francine." Zion smiled at me. "I'm really bored, you can guys stay here." he said.

"Ayon naman pala!" Kian stand up, "So? Bibili muna kami ng pagkain, dinner at snacks natin." he said.

"Ay, tama ka diyan." tumayo din si Pen at hinila sila Kleo at Lexi.

"Althea, sama ka na sa'min. Dali." Pen said before dragging out Althea. Hindi na siya naka-angal pa dahil hinila na siya ni Pen palabas ng room.

"See you later!" Lexi said bago isara ang pintuan ng maka-labas na sila ng room.

These guys, really.

"I like them." Zion said while looking at me.

Great, so kami na lang dalawa ang nandito.

"So?" he stared at me. He encircled his other arm on my waist, so now, he's completely hugging me.

"What?" I asked him. Damn this proximity between us, we're so close.

"What should we do now?" he asked while smiling. He gently put my side hair into the back of my ear.

"So beautiful." he whispered while staring at me.

"Really?" I asked, "Beautiful than Althea?"

Gosh. Where did that come from?

"Damn, yeah." he softly laughed. "You're jealous of her? She's just my childhood friend."

I know. I still remember that picture frame of the young Zion and Althea.

I rolled my eyes and didn't answer. I don't wanna talk, baka kung ano pa ang masabi ko.

"Can I kiss you?" he suddenly asked me.

"Why are you asking me now? You're kissing me without a warning before." I said. What's with the question?

"Of course, you have a choice." hinaplos niya ang pisngi ko, "If you will say no, then, I'll still kiss you. I'm just saying."

I softly laughed and rolled my eyes. "I don't have a choice, then?" I asked him.

"You have." his face started to lean closer to me, "But of course, I know you will agree. You will let me kiss you, am I right?"

Our nose touched.

"What if you're wrong?" I smirked. "What if I will not let you kiss me?"

"Really." he smirked, "Because?"

"Because.." I slowly held his cheek, "I'm the one who will kiss you." I said before kissing his lips.

He immediately kissed me back and pulled me closer to him. Our kiss was so slow and calm. It's like we're talking through kiss.

"I really missed you." he whispered while kissing my neck.

"Don't leave a mark, they'll see." I warned him.

"Okay." he answered while licking my neck. While he was busy doing that, I looked around to see if my cctv itong room, gladly wala naman so I felt relieved.

"Zion, no." I whispered when I felt his kisses on my shoulder.

"Just kiss." I said because I can feel that he's starting to feel different. He's turning on.
