First Kiss?????
Crixia's POV
"What happened to you?" He asked and by the looks of it he is concern. I remained quiet.
"What took you so long, damn I am so worried!" He spat. He looked at me like he's examining me. "Wait, something happened? You are sweating and red? Are you sick? Are you ok—?" He stubbornly asked. So I cut him.
"Stop overreacting Chris, for Christ sake I am fine." I smiled shortly and he doesn't look convince so I continued. "Don't worry, I am just tired because I ran all the way here because I am late a-and," Gosh, why am I stuttering! Think please. I whispered to myself. "T-there are too many girls so I need to wait for my turn and that explains what took me so long. Is my explanation clear and okay now?" He looks hesitant at first.
"Oh! O-okay, I am just freaking worried. Anyway, it is nice to hear that you are really fine."
I smiled and looked in front. I unconsciously touched my lip. I saw in my peripheral vision that he did the same.
After an hour my class was then done. I looked at Chris who's also fixing his things. He looked at me.
"Uhm, Crix d-do you still have class to attend to? Or this is your last? I would like to offer you a ride." He said while avoiding my eyes and slightly scratching his nape. I smiled.
"I don't have classes anymore but maybe next time. Thanks for offering a ride, I really appreciate it however my service is outside. See you tomorrow?" I gently explained. He nodded and smiled, there's a slight hint of disappointment but he agreed.
"No problem, but next time okay?"
I nodded cutely. His smile widened.
"This is my last class too. I'll definitely see you tomorrow. Take care, Crix." He gently said before he walked away.
Mang Peng texted me already so I immediately went outside and find my way to the parking space.
When I got in our car, I looked at my window. My mind wanders again about what happened earlier. Gosh, I really see myself losing my first kiss during my first romantic date! And it all came out wrong!
Was it my first kiss though? I mean I am the only once who can say what's my first was but girl, technically it is indeed my first!
He is my crush but that doesn't mean he gets to toy me just like that!
HIs lips are so soft. He smells so good. And I wonder how many lips has he ever kissed— wait what am I thinking?!
"Okay ka lang Ija,? Ang lalim naman ata nang iniisip mo, baka malunod ka niyan," I was brought back to my senses when Mang Peng spoke.
He even laugh a little.
(Translation: "Are you okay ija? You think too deeply, You might drown.")
"I-i'm okay Mang Peng, just tired." I excused.
"Tandaan mo ija kung ano man yan, lagi kang maging matatag at ipaglaban mo kung ano ang sayo basta sa paraang mabuti." He said out of nowhere.
(Translation: "Always remember ija whatever that is be strong and fight for what's yours. Do it in a good and justifiable way.")
My forehead ceased at his remark.
"Ah M-mang P-peng what do you mean?" There's no connection at all and it's just out of the topic. I somehow felt scared though and curious.
"Basta ija, lagi mo yung tatandaan" He said. I felt nervous and I don't know why so I shrug it off.
(Translation: "Just do remember that always.")
After 15 minutes we finally arrived.
When I finally got inside our house, my brother welcomed me. he's busy watching cartoon on the living room. I walked to him and kissed his cheeks. He seems shocked at first but afterwards when he realized that it was me. He kissed me too.
"Tired ate?" He innocently asked as he cupped my face with his tiny hands.
"Yes, can you sleep with ate later? I don't want to be alone."
He nodded excitedly. " Yes ate! but you will read me bedtime stories first. Okay?"
I giggled and kissed his forehead. " Yes, I will." I said while smiling at him.
"Mommy is making some sandwich in the kitchen, ate. Can you get me my sandwich please?" He made a puppy eyes. As if I can say no to that!
I pinched his cheeks. Before nodding. He went back to his cartoons. I went at the kitchen to get his sandwich before I went to my room to change. I jumped at my placed when my phone suddenly vibrated. I looked at the screen and it's not on my phonebook.
["Hello, who's this?"]
["Hey, you nerd! Why did you slapped me. I swear, you are going to pay for it.] Anger is evident in his voice. ["If you want to settle this mess, well tomorrow in the garden meet me there at 3 PM. I already checked your schedule and it says that it is your dismissal so that we can discuss your punishment. Don't be late for that!"]
I was about to end the call because I feel frustrated when, ["Anyways, it's been a pleasure to be your first kiss."] He chuckled huskily.
["Bye nerd!"] I want to scowl at him but he already ended it.
I can't move. I feel like I became a deaf for a minute. I can't help but to feel excitement and nervous too. He just said it was a pleasure, gosh! My cheeks heated up I run into my bed and covered my face with pillow and I screamed!
After my moment I finally decided to go downstairs and eat dinner. After that I helped in doing some chores then went for a shower. When I finally changed in my pajamas, I logged in at my social medias. If before I see few people posting on my wall saying so many insulting words, right now I think it was tripled! They said:
Nerd!
Ugly bitch!
Weird!
Freak!
Trying hard!
That wasn't just it. I thought I was used to it but it still hurts— a lot. I cried so hard and that drifted me off to sleep.
