Waves of Affliction (Isla Series #3)

"Did you just kiss me?"

Tinaasan ko ng kilay si Kylo at kumapit sa railings nang maayos para hindi mahulog. I felt weak with the simple kiss he gave me.

"I did." He licked his lower lip before biting it and looking up to my eyes. "Just to prove a point," he quickly added.

"Just to prove a point?" I asked to be clear. He nodded.

Without hesitation, I put my hand on his jaw and slowly leaned my face near his. Hindi siya nasindak. Inabangan niya lang ang sunod kong gagawin.

"I'm going to do something because I want to. Not to prove a point," I whispered before pressing my lips on his.

I thought he'd push me away but he encircled his one arm around my waist and placed the other on the railing to maintain our balance. He then started kissing me back with equal passion. When I pushed his nape closer at the same time I bit his lower lip, he moaned a little.

We pulled away and looked at each other with a puzzled expression. But then we kissed again. Ang tagal namin naghalikan doon. Buti na lang walang pumapasok sa rooftop.

I know for a fact that I was kissing him because I missed the feeling of being kissed. His kisses were alluring. It has always made me feel something inside because the way his lips move seem so intimate and passionate.

"Should we go back now? Baka hinahanap ka," he said but he was just kissing me better, pulling me close to him. His chest was pressed on mine already.

I stopped kissing him. Hinabol kaagad ng labi niya ang akin kaya natawa ako at tinulak ang noo niya. "Let's go home," aya ko at ngumuso para itago ang ngiti.

Just as we entered our room, he pushed me against the wall and we continued making out. Hindi lumagpas doon. We both had no plans to.

Sa sumunod na mga araw, ang pag-practice ng surf ang inatupag ko dahil malapit na ang surf competition. Halos mapatay ko pa si Mari nang sinandya niyang sabayan ako sa isang alon kaya nagkabanggaan kami.

"Tumingin ka nga!" inis na sabi ko at hinawakan ang gilid ng board ko, tinitingnan kung nasugat ba.

"Nakita kita," pagmamaldita niya.

"Congrats pala, may mata ka," sarkastikong sabi ko bago siya inirapan at nag-paddle paalis. Wala ako sa mood at baka ihampas ko pa iyang board niya sa kaniya!

I went straight to the surf shop para ipaayos 'yong board ko dahil baka mapasukan pa ng tubig. Medyo nabutas kasi dahil sa lakas ng pagkakatama ng bwisit na Mari na iyon. Parang biglang deserve niya lahat ng sampal at sabunot ni Raya sa kaniya noong junior high pa kami.

"I'll be gone for more than a week," Kai informed, panting a little. He was sweaty and was only wearing his shorts. He just finished his work out outside the balcony.

Nakaupo lang ako sa pod hanging chair habang nagbabasa ng novel.

"Where?" I asked him and averted my gaze back to my book because his body was distracting me.

Bet ko talaga katawan niya dahil hindi masyadong malaki. And the veins on his arms... hindi na mag-tell! Bwisit! 'To na naman ako sa kung ano-anong kahalayan na iniisip!

"Netherland, then States."

"Kasama ex mo?" Napatigil ako sa sariling tanong ko. "Never mind."

"I think so. Hindi na yata 'yon babalik dito."

"Wow, updated 'yan? Pero paki ko? Hindi naman sa akin ang Pilipinas."

He chuckled. "Sama ka? I have a few races there."
