His hands extended
are tempting control switches
caressing through my sanity
putting off inhibitions gracefully
His serious inquisitive eyes
are making me a lab rat in scrutiny
Its constant gaze seducing
Its demeanor hypnotizing
His broad shoulders yet tensed muscles
are fresh flow of feelings and emotions
showing signs of his alluring art
radiating a set trap for my heart
--We are on the dance floor, just looking at each other's eyes for quite a while now. No one's speaking but it seems he's telling me something through those gazes.
It's also as if nothing mattered in the world but the man holding my hand at the moment. He is usually just smiling and grinning mischievously that his serious gazes right now confuse the hell out of me.
What are we? What is this feeling? My eyes further studied his face. His nose pointed like that of a Greek God's. .. then. .. his lips. .. I curiously bit mine while looking at his, thinking that his is much better. It's pink and not dry at all when I find it so hard to maintain mine with balms and tints. Crap. What the hell am I comparing.
--"Jazzy? Are you alright?"
I'm startled by Jed Euie's voice. I didn't notice that he's already talking to me.
"Oh! What is it again?"
"Hmm I was asking when are you going to visit Lizzie's grave. I remember you mentioning about it to my sister."
"I'm not sure Jed. Uhm-- C-can we go now? I remembered I need to finish my assignment and pass it today at 8pm. Oh right I'll get my bag" I asked him frantically not waiting to hear his reply and left him there. I was a little ashamed I've been caught staring at his lips. But hell it's really seems taken care of really, like a girl's lips. Is he gay?
"Okay I'll just get the car ready and just drop by here. Wait for me" I hear him answer then he left for the parking lot.
He dropped me off our house and left after greeting my parents. He and his sister are regularly at our home like our own relatives; my parents' children outside our home.
"How are you Jane Zia?" my mother asked and I know she's pertaining to Leah Elize's death. She saw me with those swollen eyes morning after I found out about my best friend's death.
"I'm fine Nay. Like you said, she won't experience any pain now. Thank you." I said weakly but with a hint of a smile.
"It's nothing dear. I know you love her so much and I can see she loves you too. Come on let's have dinner"
The night ended with me thinking about Leah Elize again since I guess she just did a trick of putting off the lights or making it not work when I'm about to use the comfort room numerous times. I'm not too superstitious but oh hell I don't see ghosts but I'm afraid of them. I was about to sleep and the lights went off on its own again. And I remembered, I haven't visited her grave yet.
"Hey silly, yes I'll visit you okay? So stop visiting me!" I said to no one while grinning
I texted Jed Euie and asked him if I can go with him the next day when he'll go to work and he agreed but with a little tease
"So you're awake now? You were day dreaming when I was asking you about that. Be ready at 8am tomorrow." He replied
"I was not looking at your lips okay?.. ." I was about to reply but thought I was digging my grave. I'm not sure if he saw me looking at it anyway.
"Oh so that was what you were talking about? Sorry I was thinking how you take care of your l. . ." I typed again but changed my mind. I might be too obvious here
"Okay. See you." I responded, trying not to focus on the thoughts I had of him on the dance floor.
"See you! Good night Jazzy."
"Good night." I replied and dozed off.
"Hey I think I'm losing my control. .. my sanity over you. Specially since you bit your lips while looking into mine? Are you teasing me? Oh wait, can I kiss you?" Jed Euie told me suddenly and started moving closer.
My eyes seemed heavy so I just closed it, not knowing what to do. Then I can already feel his breath near my face. His hot breath.
"Zia! Ate Zia!" I heard someone call
"Ate Zia wake up! Kuya Jed is already downstairs waiting for you."
I looked at the clock and it's only 6:30am. I set the alarm at 7:00 "Hmm why is he here so early? Tell him I'll get ready first. You may ask him to have coffee or eat breakfast already. Thank you Jimmy."
"Okay ate. Lola already gave him tea when he arrived."
I went for the shower and prepared a little too sleepily still.
