His soft lips nibbled mine. My sober mind was telling me to stop this nonsense, but then it was as if my lips has their own mind, and just kept on kissing the stranger. Damn it, Felice! Calm the hell down! I didn’t know for how long that kiss lasted. I tightened my grip on his nape and I felt him tighten his grip on my waist, too. I couldn’t count how many curses I had in my head already. Oh my gosh, this needs to stop! We were in the middle of the dance floor, and it’s a school ground for God’s sake!I took a deep breath and gathered all the strength that I had. I counted to three and quickly pushed him away. I even almost went down because of the impact and the people bumping me from left to right. Damn it. I held my head when I felt like my head was spinning already. I guess it was from the alcohol, the lights, and the movement of the people combined. “Hey, hey.” I felt two massive arms hugging me. I tried to look up to see who the guy was, but then he hugged me tight making me b
To say that I was shocked would be an understatement because the truth was I was beyond surprised by what he said. More importantly. I just couldn’t believe it was happening, like we confessed our feelings to each other after we almost made out on the dance floor and what’s worse on the school ground! How fucked up can that be, right? “Felice,” he called and went to me immediately when I almost fell down on my knees. My legs were like noodles. I was staring at the air blankly, still couldn’t believe this is happening. Shit. I couldn’t even count the times that I have been cursing the situation in my head already. I felt Greg assisting me because I really couldn’t feel my legs already. I felt that if I stand, I’d eventually fall. That’s how my knees were trembling. “Come here, let’s go inside.” I heard him say. The next thing I knew, we were already inside a classroom and he let me sit on the teacher’s chair while he sat on the platform. He reached out for my hand which made the
“If you’ll give me a chance, I’ll make sure every fear and pain will be worth it, Felice. It will be a rough road, but I will never give up on you. That’s the thing that I could promise.”I slowly watched his head bow down to me. Then I felt my hand being lifted until his soft lips touched the back of my palm. My mouth parted even more. I closed my eyes tight. Shit. “I will respect your decision, Felice, whatever it is, I will hold on to it.” Slowly, he looked up and met my gaze. As if on cue, I felt my heart skipping a bit the moment our eyes met. I felt my eyes watering as my emotions heightened up the moment we looked at each other in the eyes. It was as if all the emotions that I have been hiding from the moment I realized that I like him piled up. It was overwhelming me. I felt like my chest were burning up and it wasn’t because of an ailment or something, it was the prosperous emotions that I have been trying to contain this whole time. I bit my lip so hard that I could alrea
What happened that night did not left my head the whole morning the next day. We were not given a rest day or something, so we really didn’t have a choice but to go to school. It was a normal day, students were back to regular programming, but as for me, I wasn’t really sure. It didn’t feel normal at all. Damn. It wasn’t normal. I couldn’t help the smile occurring on my lips as I stared at his texts earlier. From: GregGood morning. I’ll see you later. I shook my head. I still wasn’t sure what he meant by this, I mean we’re really going to meet here in the campus? Well, I don’t know. Nevertheless, I just agreed to it. I felt light, to be honest. My heart is like floating in the air right after he drove me home last night. Gosh, I remembered having to make excuses with my Mom last night because I didn’t call our driver to fetch me. I just thank God that she didn’t ask any more details when I told her that I hitched a ride with a classmate. It was pretty chill. My situation with Gr
My week was totally fine, it was wonderful, actually. Since it was an aftermat of the midterms, our professors were usually not present, and if they are, they just gave us some readings and of course some wanted to check our scores. So far, so good. My grades were better, my love life is kind of beautiful, I was not longer a ticking time bomb. Gosh, I’ve never felt so relieved ever since Greg happened in my life. “Felice!” I quickly turned around when I heard our helper yelling. My forehead creased as I put down the book that I was reading. It was a Saturday morning and I was on our living room, reading my favorite book. It was just a chill morning for me. I got nothing to do, so I just spend my time reading. My parents were outside and they seemed to be talking about business again. Well, what’s new? “What is it?” I asked as I anticipated our helper. When she arrived in front of me, she was all smiles. Her left hand was holding a box of heart-shaped chocolate, while the right ha
The weekend was fine, I guess. I mean aside from the teasing of my cousins, there wasn’t any topic about my secret admirer already. That gave me a relief because I was really scared that I might slipped and they will know who that admirer was already. Gosh, that would be a major headache if ever. Thankfully, the topic was diverted to Karrie. I don’t exactly know what’s the catch between her and her special someone, but based from the reactions of herr brothers, it seemed that she had some sort of an LQ with her mystery man. And her brothers seem to know about it, huh. I mean, I don’t know. She didn’t really tell me about it. Everytime I asked and tried to go to that topic, she would immediately drop the conversation. I had no choice but to respect her decision on that. In the end, that Saturday was spent with my cousins. It served as our family bonding to some sort even though the adults were as usual having their business talks. When Sunday came, I just stayed in the house and read
“Oh my gosh! Are you sure?!”“Yep!” “Where did you even heard about that?!“I don’t exactly know the first hand source, okay, but someone told me that they were seen last acquaintance party! Sir Greg even drop the girl home!”“Oh my gosh! That was so sweet!” “It’s risky! I mean, hello, they are professor and a student!” “What?!”I shut my eyes tight and massaged my forehead as I hear those conversation. I didn’t know how long I was stunned there. But fuck. Did I heard that right?! Someone saw us that night?! Oh my freaking gosh! Could it be that we were that blind item that I saw earlier?! And hell, he’s not even my boyfriend, yet! I mean, not officially since he was still courting me, but then yeah, whatever! Somebody saw us! My heart was rummaging my chest. I was just a few minutes away from my first class, and I just went here in the cafeteria to get some candies, and those were what I heard! Oh, gosh. I couldn’t take this. Do they know?! Does someone know?! I was panicking i
The whole rumor thing was still the trend when we got back to school the next week, however, it started to go down already. And I was thankful for that because honestly, it was really bothering me, and I didn’t know how to act or what to do with that still going around. I feel like I was going to vomit every day because I was so anxious about them finally finding out that it was me. Gosh. Thank God, they didn’t though. Greg was right when he said that it will eventually die down. Well, I really hope this will die down. “Felice!” I immediately turned to our helper and creased my forehead. It was a Monday morning and I was at our kitchen counter and preparing for my clubhouse as usual. “What is it?” I asked. I saw her smiling from to ear then she showed me a huge heart-shaped box - a very familiar one. “From the admirer!” she excitedly said. I gasped and stared at the box that she was holding. Oh my gosh! He still sent me chocolates?! I immediately grabbed the box and was abou
