Mine

Dumiretso kami sa treehouse niya. Nakabukas ang mga ilaw sa labas kaya dumepina ang ganda ng bahay.

Nagsalin siya ng tubig sa baso at ibinigay sa akin. Tinanggap ko naman iyon.

"Nag-enjoy ka ba?" Tanong niya.

I just shrugged my shoulders to answer him. Nakuha niya naman iyon.

"Nandoon ang pinsan mo." Sabi ko dahil wala na akong mahanap na iba pang salita.

"Yeah." Ofcourse you stupid! Syempre nandoon iyon dahil send off party nga sa kanila, bat mo pa kasi sinabi, Rielle? Tanga ka talaga kahit kailan.

"Uhmmm..."

"And he told me you danced with Igancio."

That asshole! Tsinismis talaga that fucking fast!

Tumango na lang ako at halos maubos na ang tubig na ibinigay niya sa akin.

"You like him?"

"I told you, I don't."

"As a boyfriend?"

I didn't know where this conversation going. Hindi ko na alam.

"I don't, Cross. I don't like him. I don't even want him as a boyfriend!" Inis na sambit ko sa kanya.

"I forgot, you don't do boyfriends."

"How about you? What kind of girlfriend do you want?" Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay at hinamon ng tingin.

"You." He said softly without hesitation as he put some strands of my hair behind my ear.

He was standing very close to me right now. Close enough to see his well defined body; broad shoulders, hard chest I'm sure, a bit burned texture of his skin dulot siguro ng maghapong pagbibilad sa araw at sa napakaraming trabaho sa hacienda, his hair was thick, his eyes drift closed, his perfectly jaw tightened a bit, his red lips curved sexily. And he's too close enough to make me uncomfortable.

"I don't like someone hugging your waist, holding your hair and tugging them behind your ear, Rielle. Makakapatay ako." He said with his husky but silvery voice.

Fuck that Quinn!

I just gave him a tight smile. Nanginig ulit ang kalamnan ko. Gosh, Rielle! Dapat hindi mo nalang tinanong!

"You make me feel..." I said quietly, fiercely.

"What is it, Rielle?" He said, teasing me.

"And I don't like it. I want it to stop. Now." Gusto ko sanang idagdag iyon kaso hindi na lumabas pa sa bibig ko dulot ng kakaibang pakiramdam.

"Mine." He whispers as his kisses went to my forehead, cheek, the side of my head, then to my trembling lips.

"Yours." I breathe as I respond to his kisses he's giving me.

I did not realize that there's a single tear spilled out of the corner of my eye and I don't fucking know why! He leaned over me to kiss it away. Napapikit ako dahil sa marahang haplos ng kanyang mga halik sa pisngi ko. Napakaagan sa pakiramdam.

"Cross..." I said but he silenced me with another kiss.

"Shhh..."

He took his hands off mine and laced it through my hair. It was enough for me to know what he wanted. At gusto ko din ang naiisip ko na gusto niyang gawin!

I just want to cuddle with him tonight! I just want to lay in bed to wrap my arms around him, bury my face in his chest, and... feel the warmth of his body.
