French Kiss in Paris

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

I pulled the blanket up to my shoulder and covered my body. I have no idea how low is the temperature now. It is cold and every part of my body is shivering. I'm freezing but I need to sleep more. I keep my eyes closed and let my mind washed every thought away.

But then I was struck when someone planted a soft kiss on my cheek and heard his little mumbling, "Bonjour, mon amour."

It was his deep baritone voice that startled my whole body. It shakes my system. I squinted my eyes from the light but I finally had it wide open when I'm so sure that it was Cashel who whispered right into my ear. Agad akong lumipat ng posisyon ng pagkakahiga ko at hinarap ko si Cashel na nakadungaw sa akin. Napabalikwas ako at napalayo ng bahagya sa kanya. I even held the blanket tightly covering my chest. Parang ilang kilometer ang itinakbo ko sa sobrang bilis ng dagundung ng dibdib ko.

"C'est bizarre," he commented, crunching his nose. Mas inilalapit niya ang sarili niya sa akin. Nagsisimula na niya akong gapangin sa kama.

Mabilis akong napatingin sa ilalim ng blanket and there was a little relieved when I'm still wearing my clothes. Literally, biglang gumaan ang pakiramdam. I'm aware of what happened last night pero mabuti na 'yong naniniguradong hindi talaga umabot sa level ng bubuka ang bulaklak, chuchugug ang patola.

"Why am I still here?" I asked him, even I, questioning my presence in his room.

"We kissed, remember?" ngisi pa nito. "Though it didn't last long, but it was quite good than the first time we did, am I right?"

Kinuha ko ang unan sa gilid ko at nginodngud ko sa mukha niya. Nanggigil ako bigla, hindi ko alam kung bakit. Nang alisin ko ang unan sa mukha niya, tinawanan niya lang ako.

"You're blushing, Setty," he giggled.

Nanliit ang mata ko sa pangalang binanggit niya sa akin. "What did you call me?"

"Setty," he repeated. "I think that would be nice to call you like that, right? Did anyone else has called you like that before or not? Or am I the first time? I wanna make it more special by calling you like I own you by creating a nickname for you. You already called me Cash so I guess, I'll call you Setty from now on."

I rolled my eyes, shaking my head. Hindi ko bet. "I don't like to be called Setty. It sounds slutty, you know?"

He cackled. "Well, you're the one who thought about that. Not me," he said and pointed the tip of his finger on my nose. I scrunched my nose when he did that. "Do you want me to kiss you on your nose?"

"No," walang pang isang segundo kong sagot. "I don't want to kiss you again and what happened last, sa atin lang 'yon at sana hindi na makalabas pa."

"Tell me," sumeryoso ang mukha niya sabay halukipkip niya. Binatuhan niya ako ng mapanuring mga tingin. I don't like it. Ano pa bang ginagawa ko rito sa kama niya at feel na feel ko pa? "Did you like our kiss last night? Tell me honestly, you will be spared to some kind of punishment if you say you do."

"Nye, nye, punishment mo mukha mo! I didn't like it, okay?" pagtaas ko ng kilay sa kanya. He should know na kahit masarap maglaro ang mga dila at malalambot niyang labi, I shouldn't be telling it to him right away. Ano na lang ititira ko sa sarili ko? I'll let him sweat with him.

"What? Are you for real?" he wondered, biglang kumunot ang buo niyang mukha dahil sa sobrang pagtataka. Binalak niya pang lumapit sa akin pero inambahan ko na siya ng kamay ko para hindi niya ituloy. He stayed on his position and I think, I just did the right thing there. Masyadong maharot ang lalaking 'to. I should be mindful of what Victor said.
