Want Me to Kiss You, Princess?

>Sheloah's POV<

"U-umm…" I trailed off at hinihintay niya ang sagot ko. "Guidance tests?" patanong na sagot ko at tiningnan niya ang labi ko at medyo lumapit ang mukha niya.

"Wrong…" he said in a seductive voice at hinawakan niya ang likod ko para hindi ako makatakas. Umiwas ako sa tingin niya at ramdam ko na namula ang mukha ko dahil biglang uminit ang pisngi ko.

"Nasa school niyo ako noon dahil magte-take ako ng entrance exam sa college school niyo." He added at huminga siya ng malalim pero hindi parin siya lumalayo sa akin. "And then sa exam na 'yon, may ilalagay sa baba kung ano'ng course ang kukunin ko. Did you remember kung alin ang gusto ko?" tanong pa niya at hindi ko nanaman alam kung ano ang isasagot ko.

"Umm… accountancy?" I guessed again and he smiled at me with his bad boy smile at mas lumapit nanaman ang mukha niya and by the looks of it, I got it wrong.

"Wrong again, pero 'yon ang kurso na gusto ng parents ko na kunin ko. But I wrote nothing." Sabi niya and I started to remember some of the events 2 years ago.

"Kaya nakatitig ka lang sa papel mo… and then around 5:20PM noong time na 'yon, at hindi ka pa umaalis ng guidance office." Sabi ko at nginitian niya ako.

"Correct." Sabi niya tapos nagtitigan naman kami.

"Hindi ba lalayo ang mukha mo sa akin since nasagot ko?" tanong ko at tumawa siya.

"No. Your correct answer doesn't count. Wala sa rules ang pag nakasagot ka ng tama, lalayo ako. Ang meron lang: pag mali, lalapit ang mukha ko." Sagot niya sa tanong ko at inirapan ko siya.

"Hurry up!" reklamo ko kasi I find this awkward that our face is near each other. He just smiled at me and he continued.

"I was not close with my family. Gusto nila palagi na sila ang sinusunod ko. Yung family ko kasi famous business workers and they wanted me to take over since I am their only child." Sabi niya at kahit magkalapit ang mukha namin sa isa't isa, seryoso ang tingin namin.

"And then you weren't able to tell them what you want?" tanong ko and he nodded at me.

"I wanted to be a painter. I wanted to be a painted so bad… but I just can't tell them that, right? Kasi ayaw nila." He said to me at tiningnan ko siya. "But it all changed…" he trailed off at nilagay niya ang forehead niya sa forehead ko. Nagulat ako but seeing him so serious and sad, I wanted to listen to him so I let him be. "When you appeared." He said finally and he closed his eyes at bumilis nanaman ang tibok ng puso ko.

"I said something stupid, huh?" tanong ko at tumawa siya ng unti and we're now looking at each other eye to eye.

"Stupid, but inspiring." Sagot niya at nginitian ko siya.

"What did I say?" tanong ko at nginitian niya ako with his bad boy smile.

"Want me to kiss you, princess?" mapang asar niyang tanong at nagulat ako.

"No! Stop teasing me!" sabi ko sa kanya at tumawa nanaman siya.
