Nothing's Better Than This (Mika Reyes - Ara Galang Fanfic)

Chapter 14

Ria's POV

Clyde seems like a good man. Hindi ko alam bakit parang bad trip si Ara sa kanya though hindi naman nito masyadong pinahahalata, pero kilala ko siya. She doesn't like Clyde at all, and in her case, first impression lasts. Nakita kong nag aalala siya about something especially kanina nung pumasok na sila ni Kim. I didn't bother asking her about it, hihintayin ko na lang na siya ang mag open up. Kaya hindi na lang muna ako masyado nag mingle sa iba all through out dinner at ibinuhos na lang lahat ng attention ko sa kanya. Naisip ko nga baka nagseselos si Ara kay Clyde, di ko lang exactly ma point out kung sa akin or kay MIka. Ara also insisted na dun na din muna ako sa bahay niya, I agreed na lang para mapanatag ang loob niya.

Our dinner went well as expected. Masaya naman kahit pa medyo naging outcast kami ni Ara kasi panay ang lambing niya sakin. Pauwi na kami ngayon.. Sa akin nakisakay si Ara at si Kim na ang pinagdrive niya ng kotse niya sakay sina Mela, Clyde, at Mika.

Ara: "Let's go somewhere else, baby.. Ayoko pang umuwi."

I stopped the car and look at her. I love you, Ara.. Ikaw lang. Hinding hindi ko magagawa sa'yo ang ginawa ni MIka. Sana makita mo 'yon.

Ria: "Where do you want to go?"

Ara: "Somewhere we can be alone."

Bakas ang paglalambing sa voice niya. I know what Ara's thinking. So we head straight to my condo.

Hindi kami nag-usap hanggang makarating kami dito sa condo ko. Pareho kaming nag aanticipate ng mga mangyayari. Pagpasok pa lang namin sa elevator, she kissed me right away. I had goosepumps signalling that I want this more than she does, so i responded. More intense, more frantic. Her kiss was very territorial, kung may nakakakita sa'min parang pinapahiwatig ni Ara na sa kanya lang ako so back off.

Before I know it, nakapasok na kami sa unit ko. Her lips never left mine habang karga niya ako papasok sa room ko. She layed me to bed and positioned herself on top of me. She leaned down to kiss me but paused before her lips touched mine, her eyes searching, wanting, asking permission. This is not new to me. Non verbally, at some point in our intimate moments, Ara would hold herself back, always asking for my approval before she makes another move. I raised my lips to hers, and we kissed again. I let go - my hands moving of their own accord, unbuttoning Ara's polo. I removed my shirt for her as she pulled my shorts down leaving me with only my underwears. "You're mine, Ria. Not just tonight. But forever." she said and then continued to what she was doing. She kissed my neck then back to my lips. I pulled her closer to me.

The next thing I know, nandito na ako sa shower at naliligo. When I came out, Ara was already dressed kaya dumiretso na ako sa aking walk-in closet para magbihis na rin. I took  a few clothes with me and went out. Sinalubong ako ni Ara ng matamis na halik.

Ara: "Can't we just stay here na lang?" naglalambing pa rin. Sa edad kong to, kinikilig pa rin naman ako. This moment is rare for the both us. Ara being in love with me, like me alone.

Ria: "Baby, we can't." Yakap yakap pa rin niya ako from the back while I fix myself in the mirror. "You have training tomorrow."
