“What the hell is wrong with you, Darius? Bakit bigla-bigla ka na lang nanghihila” Pagalit kong tanong sa kanya.

Nanglilisik ang kanyang mga matang nakatingin sakin. Alam kong galit siya pero galit rin ako lalo na’t bigla na lang siyang nanununtok ng walang pasabi. I pulled him out of the hotel where Ella’s birthday is happening, matapos ang eskandalong ginawa niya sa hotel tapos ganito ang mangyayari. Nakahiya sa mga tao sa loob, lalo na kay Tita at Tito, ano na lamang ang iisipin nila kay Darius. Baka i-demanda tuloy ni Luke si Darius dahil sa pagsuntok nito sa kanya.

“Hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon iyang kamao mo ang paiiralin mo Darius. Are you even thinking clearly, Darius? Huh?” Pagalit kong tanong ulit sa kanya. Kahit anong pilit kong pagpapakalma sa sarili ko hindi ko maiwasan. 

He just keeps his mouth shut so mas lalo akong nainis sa kanya. Hindi ko kasi marawi ang tumatakbo sa isip niya. Matino naman siya most of the time pero sa tuwing may hindi magandang nangyayari sakin o hindi niya nagustuhan idadaan niya lagi sa pagiging bayolente.

“Hindi ka sasagot sakin? I’m asking you Darius because what you did to Luke is not right. We were just talking and having fun and then you suddenly punch him out of nowhere. Nag-iisip ka pa ba ng tama?”

Everything happen so fast the next thing I know was Darius lips is pressed into my lips. Gasp slipped out of it and then he sucked, nipped, kissed me hungrily, biting my bottom lips. Our saliva mixing, the taste of his mouth is like cigarettes and alcohol, weird combination but it adds fuel to our burning desire.

His right hand on my waist and his other hand on the back of my head. Its like he was guiding me through are hot kisses. I encircle my arms around his neck as we continue to explores the insides of each other’s mouth. Gasping for air, we finally broke free. Nakasandal ang ulo ko sa balikat matapos ang paghahalikan namin dahil alam kong namumula ang mukha ko. Hinalikan ako ni Darius at nagpadala ako, he’s my childhood best friend. What the hell is he even thinking?

I can feel his heartbeat beating so fast just like mine. Does he finally realize what he has done? Is he regretting it? Parang gusto ko na lang magpalamon sa lupa. Ano ba kasing pumasok sa isip ko at nagpahalik ako? Ang bobo mo, Kennedy.

“Hey, I’m not regretting kissing you. Stop concluding things.”

Tinikom ko ang bibig ko at hinintay ang susunod niyang sasabihin. Pakiramdam ko tumigil ang pag-ikot ng mundo ko because of what Darius confess.

“I have already fallen in love with you, Kennedy. And I’m not stopping it.”
