Chapter 37

Krystal's POV

"What are we doing here? Why are we here?"

Thea asked me as we put our helmets down on her scooter.

A smile slowly formed on my lips "trust me, you'll like it here"

Magkasalubong ngayon ang kilay niya "nobody likes cemetery..."

She answered as a matter of fact.

Napalingon ako sa kanya still smiling "I do"

I grabbed her hand then lead her the way.

"Di mo naman ako ililibing ng buhay diba?" I slightly chuckled then shook my head in disbelief

Ano ba naman tong babaeng to kung anu-ano iniisip.

"Kung may ililibing man ako, alam mo ba kung ano yun?" I looked over my shoulder. She shook her head "sarili ko" then winked at her

"Bakit mo naman ililibing sarili mo?" natatawang tanong niya "mamahalin pa nga kita eh. Di ko na magagawa yun kung ililibing mo sarili mo"

Di ko alam kung matatawa ba ako, maiinis o kikiligin. Di man lang niya nagets yung banat ko sa kanya. Imbis na kiligin siya, binanatan niya pa ako eh. Ako tuloy yung kinilig.

"Eh patay na patay kasi ako sayo kaya ililibing ko sarili ko" explain ko pa sa kanya. Please kiligin ka sana.

"Eh dapat pala ilibing ko din sarili ko" napatingin ako sa kanya "patay na patay din kasi ako sayo"

Di man lang ba siya kinikilig? Talagang pick up line for pick up line lang yung nangyayari eh. Babanatan ko siya, babanatan din niya ako pabalik. Eh pano siya kikiligin niyan.

Hays...ewan ko ba. Ganito talaga siguro kapag inlove. Kung anu-ano na lang sinasabi namin. Sobrang cheesy.

"Thea, nakalimutan mo na ba sinabi ko sayo kanina?" I asked her as we walk while holding each other's hand.

I feel that she slightly squeeze my hand "which one? Andami mong sinabi eh"

I rolled my eyes on her "Yung I love you" sagot ko sa kanya

"You mean it, right?" I suddenly stop walking then face her

"Of course" Parang na disappoint naman ako dun. Para kasing di siya naniniwala sakin "I mean it"

"I love you" she said. It's her first time saying that to me. Kinikilig ako. I know she loves me pero iba talaga ang feeling pagsinabi na yung mga salitang yun. I can feel the butterflies in my stomach starting to flip as she said those three words to me. "You know what? Hanggang ngayon di pa rin ako makapaniwala na mahal mo din ako"

"Pwes maniwala ka na mahal kita" sabi ko sa kanya

There's no doubt that I love this girl. Maybe, I'm still not sure about my sexuality but I am pretty sure about my feelings for thea.

She's the first woman who made me feel like this and I think she's the only woman who can do that. I don't think I can love other woman the way I love thea. She's one of a kind. She's the only woman I'll ever love.

"Naniniwala na po" she said

I gave her my sweetest smile "Good! Now, let's go" kinuha ko ulit yung kamay niya saka kami nagsimulang maglakad "I want you to meet someone"

"Someone?"

"My mom"

"Your mom?"

I chuckled "we're here"

Nakatingin ako sa puntod ng mommy ko. Thea did the same.

"Kristina Baran?" tumingin siya sa gawi ko. Napatingin din ako sa kanya

Bakas sa kanyang mukha ang pagkalito.

"Wait, eh sino yung tinatawag mong mommy nung nakaraan sa phone?" takang tanong niya

"Si mommy vivian yun. Mommy nina benj, sam at gwen" sagot ko naman sa kanya

Nalilito pa rin siya kaya inexplain ko sa kanya na kapatid ko yung tatlo sa tatay.

"Meet my mom" I happily said it to her "Mom, si thea nga pala girlfriend ko"

We're sitting on the grass. My legs are resting above her thighs

"Girlfriend?" ang hilig niya talaga tanungin yung bawat last words na sinasabi ko haha

"Don't you want to be my girlfriend?"

"Siyempre gusto. Kaya nga niligawan kita kahit ayoko sana"

"Ah! So you regret courting me ganun?"

"Wala akong sinabi ah" I just rolled my eyes on her.

"Anyway, girlfriend, this is my mom" pagpapakilala ko kay mommy kay thea.

Although wala na si mom, I still want to introduce thea to her and vice versa.

"Hi mom" tawag niya kay mommy. Binigyan naman niya ako ng nakakalokong ngiti "you know what? I wonder what your mom looks like"

I search for my wallet in my bag then take out my mom's photo.

Pinakita ko yun sa kanya "she's beautiful..." sambit niya "just as you"

I look at her while she's still staring on the picture of my mom that I gave her.

"You're beautiful" sambit ko sa mahinang boses

Napatingin na siya sakin na patuloy pa ring nakatingin sa kanya.

I slowly move my head closer to her.

She stared on my eyes then averted to my lips then back to my eyes again.

Our lips are almost touching.

I'm about to close the gap between us when she turn her head on the side "mom, is it okay if we kiss?"

I chuckled then rested my head on her shoulder "you're weird" inangat ko ang aking ulo "that's why I love you"

I kissed her on her temple.

"Do you think your mom would approve our relationship if she's still here?"

"I'm not sure..." I paused "but she would definitely like you as you"

She smiled at me as she planted a kiss on my forehead.

"Can we kiss now?" I pouted "on the lips"

"Mom, excuse us" she jokingly said on the grave of my mom.

I laugh a bit while shaking my head.

"Come here, you weirdo" I hugged her sideways then gave her a kiss on her jawline

She stared right through my eyes for a second then put her lips on mine. I grab the back of her head as I pull her closer.

I deepened our kiss.

I really love the taste of her lips. I couldn't get enough of it.

She moved her left hand up and down on my thigh

Lahat ata ng buhok na meron ako tumayo ng dahil lang sa ginawa niya.

I know its just a simple touch pero iba ang epekto nun sa akin.

She rested her hand to my upper thigh, medyo malapit sa ano ko actually and dahil nadistract ako dun ay aksidenteng nakagat ko yung lower lip niya.

"Ouch" she mumbled against my lips

"Are you okay?" I asked her right after we parted our lips "let me see"

I checked her lips. It's bleeding

"Oh my God! I'm so sorry" pero tinawanan niya lang ako

"No need to say sorry" she told me "It's kind of...hot actually" she winked at me

I hissed "hot pala ah" I tried to bite her lips again but she was able to dodge it so instead I went for her ear.

She laughed "hahaha stop" she demanded as I playfully nibbled her ear "mom oh! Nangangagat yung anak niyo" sumbong niya kay mommy

Tss. As if naman buhay si mommy kung makasumbong siya haha

"Mom oh! Ayaw magpakagat" sumbong ko din. Akala niya siya lang marunong magsumbong haha para na kaming baliw na dalawa dito

"Kung nandito si mommy for sure papagalitan ka non" sambit niya

"Kung maka mommy ka ah. Mommmy mo?" Sabi ko naman sa kanya

"Mommy mo..." agad niyang sagot "na mommy ko na rin" dagdag pa niya na tinawanan ko lang

She checked her wrist watch "ang early pa para umuwi"

Napakunot naman ako ng noo "sino nagsabi na uuwi na tayo?" I asked her

"Di pa ba tayo uuwi?" Iniling ko ang aking ulo

"Nope. Meron pa tayong pupuntahan"

Magkasalubong yung mga kilay niya ngayon "wait, date ba to?"

"Ano ba sa tingin mo?"

"You didn't ask me though" she pouted

Ah gusto niya tanungin ko pa siya kung pwede kami magdate. Oh eh di tanungin natin haha

I cleared my throat "Can I take you out on a date miss gorgeous?"

Everything with thea is a first. She's the first woman who makes me feel all of these emotions that I have been feeling all in one. She's the first woman that I love, romantically and sexually. She's the first woman that I kissed on the lips. She's my first girlfriend. She's the first ever woman that I ask on a date. Everything with her feels like a dream come true. It's like she's the prince charming I have been dreaming to have since I was a kid, the only difference is she's a princess.

My princess charming.
