Avila's POV
Nag iwas ako ng tingin sa kanya.
"Then there's nothing to talk about." Tumayo siya ng matuwid at aalis na sana ngunit hinawakan ko naman ang kamay niya. "You want to kiss now?" Asar niya.
I really don't want to but if I won't kiss him, he won't reconsider his decision and if I won't kiss him...
Napatingin ako sa mata niya.
Then I'm still stuck in my past with Melvin and I don't want that. I already have a husband. I promised to be faithful, loyal and just...
Tumayo ako na di winawala ang tingin sa kanya.
You did it before, Avila. You can do it again. You're strong to handle a pervert like him.
"Wanna kiss now?" Asar niya pa.
Pumikit ako at huminga ng malalim. Sa pagdilay ko ay hinawakan ko ang mukha niya gamit ang dalawang kamay at ako na mismo lumapit.
Pinikit ko ang mata at dinama ang labi niya sa labi ko na di ko pa ginagawa dati.
I kissed him softly and gently just like how I kissed Melvin to let him know how much I care and how much I love him.
His lips is soft and sweet. I didn't appreciate before because all I could do is give him a quick kiss and he gave me an aggressive one.
Now, it's different from any other kiss we had before and with this kiss... I didn't felt any guilt.
Dinilat ko ang mata at lumayo sa kanya nang di man lang ako nakatanggap ng kahit anong tugon sa kanya. Kahit halik pabalik wala o hawak ng kamay sa katawan ko ay wala.
I got worried.
Did he not like it?
Nakatingin lang siya sa akin at biglang nag iwas ng tingin sabay itinago ang mukha niya gamit ang likod ng kamay.
"You didn't like it?" Tanong ko. "But I kissed you. Reconsider your decision -" napahawak siya sa mesa at yumuko doon na parang kinakalma ang sarili.

Caesar's POV
What's wrong with me?! My heart won't stop beating! As if like I'm going to have a heart attack.
Tago tago ko ang mukha ko dahil alam kong nag iinit na ito.
I'm too old to blush and I can't believe she did it. She kissed me like it's the most innocent thing to do, her kiss is honest, sweet and totally gentle.
It feels like ...
Huminga ako ng malalim.
I don't wanna assume anything. This woman is still in love with her ex husband. She has a lot of experience.
Kinalma ko ang sarili at hinarap siya.
"Reconsider it, hmm?" Alala niyang tanong.
Oh my... Look at that worried face. I don't think she even realize the face she's making now.
Avila is tough and she never fails to show it to me everytime we see each other. She was cold and distant.
But now, she looks so weak and vulnerable. I like seeing her like this.
I like making her worried just for me.
"Okay."
I lied.
Natigilan ako nang makita ang paghinga niya ng maluwag at ang ngiti niya.
"Thank you." Yumuko siya. "I shall take my leave." Sabay talikod niya at alis.
