I stood still. And eyes wide open looking at the man in suit who was now gently kissing my lips.
His hand went to my nape and lightly fisting a handful of my hair. While the other was resting to my waist. I automatic closed my eyes when his mouth started moving and seeking for an entrace.
I kissed him back and placed my hands on his neck. Didn't know how long we've been kissing but we both ran out of breath and panting as soon as we pulled out.
"Sobrang nakakaadik." (Too addicting.) he murmured and stared at me longingly. "Ang mga labi mo." (Your lips.)
"Why did you kiss me?" I bit my bottom lip and stared back.
"I don't know." he looked confused and bothered. "But I really really wanted to kiss you the first time I saw you." his thumb traced my bottom lip and it made me close my eyes at the contact. "I settled myself not to touch you, everytime you're near me. Coz I know you were a minor. Too young for me." I heard him chuckled. "But dammit!"
I opened my eyes and saw his darkened eyes. "Nolan.."
"You're eighteen now, not a minor.. anymore." he then again kissed my lips that I responded instantly. I felt his hand on my waist trailed up to the neckline of my dress. And as if taunting them, my boobs.
He managed to open my door as we both got inside. I felt him pressing me against the wall and I made sound that turned into moan.
His hand looked for the zipper of my dress but instead of pulling it down. It stopped there and he did stop too, the kiss.
"You still have a party to finish." he wetted his lips after saying it.
I gulped "I know. I'm here only to take a little.. rest." and stared at his swollen lips with my lipstick smudged on them.
He detached on me and glanced at my whole. "You look like a princess.. so damn beautiful. You look amazing tonight."
My heart beated so fast. It was a given compliment, but this one was coming from him. From Nolan. The sexy beast.
I wore a pink tube-gown earlier but I had to change into more comfortable one when we had to dance for my cotillion. That made me look like a disney ice princess now.
"Thank you." my face heated up. But couldn't help staring at his handsome face. I was ogling him now which I deprived myself earlier. He was wearing a suit in navy blue. "You too." his brow shot up. "You look handsome tonight."
His lips twitched and leaned on me. Instantly I closed my eyes waiting for his kiss that didn't happen. "I have to stop now or you will gonna skip your party." my eyes opened. He's inches away so I added space to the both of us. He stood still and fixed his suit.
What have just happened again? We made out. Damn!
"Get out."
He heaved a deep sigh. "Krayol-"
"Please Nolan.. I want to rest." I couldn't look at him anymore.
"Okay." he said in a low voice. "But we need to settle things tomorrow." he placed a feather-light kiss on my cheek before he left my room.
When it dawned on me what was just happened a while ago. I squealed silently, at first and felt cold after.
I hugged myself while sitting on my bed. It was just a kiss, he just wanted to kiss me. That's all. But it wouldn't change the fact that he has a girlfriend. Dammit!
Even I was not feeling well, I had to fix myself and go back to my party. I needed to plaster a big smile on my face just not to ruin my big night. Nolan on the other side, was just looking at me intently. As if sensing something too. Which I ignored the whole night.
Trying my best not to be alone with him again. By surrounding my self with friends and my family.
It was almost four in the afternoon when I left my bed and headed to the dining. Which I heard voices. Of course my friends were there, as if just woking up too, from dreamland.
"Good day, princess Krayol!" Quinna greeted me as soon her eyes laid on me.
"Thank you girls for all your gifts. I love them." smiling while taking my seat.
"We know right." Lyra winked at me.
I hardly got my sleep last night after what happened in my room. Why I ended up opening their presents and the others too.
Shilin's gift was a keychain. Not only a simple keychain, but like a VIP passes to her bar. A make-up set from Lyra, and a bottled of my favorite perfume from Quinna.
And aside from their presents, I got this unexpected one in my bed side table last night. It was a pink velvet box, from this unexpected someone. Fine, I was hoping but not that expensive one.
We finished our food and headed to the entertainment room. They suggested on watching some movies.
We planned on going out tomorrow and I was like a creepy girl, who kept on glancing in my door. Last night I remembered when he told me about to settle things today. Not that I was hoping to see him again here in hacienda, but I was looking forward to seeing him again and at the same time not.
Days had passed and no shadow neither a Nolan appeared in my house. I was fine with it. But of course a bit sad. He might be pressured by the moment. That's why he said that.
The next day, Rui left the house with my nanny and our driver for Manila.
And after a week of happiness with my friends. They needed to drive back to Manila tomorrow, which made me sad that day. It would take months or so before we going to see each other again.
Because starting from now. I would sit my ass here and continued my study and my friends to Manila.
That night, my parents let us having my post-birthday celebration.
"What's Nolan's present?"
I stopped drinking at my glass by Lyra's question. Kiss. His presents were kisses and gold earrings. "I got nothing." shrugging and gulped my drink.
"Really?" Lyra sounded dismayed. "He didn't give you anything special? No gifts? Flowers, kiss or anything?"
I coughed out the drink in my mouth and Quinna was the poor victim. Still coughing hard to regain my breath.
"Gotcha!" Lyra grinned. "He kissed you?"
"What the..?" I said in my raspy voice and glared her. "What kiss? Nothing's happened like that."
"Really?" Quinna raised her brow. "You sounded caught red handed there."
"Oh please! I was too surprised and shocked. That's all. But he didn't give me anything."
I wasn't out of mind to admit it to these three and besides it seemed Nolan forgot about that kiss. We crossed paths two days later my birthday but he did not approach me or even greet me. That I thanked then.
"So he's not into you." Shilin said. "It's okay Krayol. But how about Emjei? Did he contact you after he gate crashed?"
"Not really. I already changed my phone number and blocked him in all my social media accounts."
"Poor Emjei." Lyra tsk and drank her glass.
"I was actually not thinking about Emjei anymore. I want to focus with my studies. You know I will need a major adjustment." I shrugged then rested on my back.
"Yeah. Hope you can adjust soon. Gosh! If I were the one in your shoes, transferring from Manila to province I meant not that I didn't like schools and colleges in a province. But I think I couldn't stay and survive.."
"Krayol can do that." Quinna gave me a wink. "And you're not a sassy or bitchy but a good girl."
"Yeah, not unlike Lyra." Shilin sighed.
"Am I too hard to be friend with?" Lyra pouted.
"A bit." I winked at her and we both laughed. I would miss them for sure. They were like my real sisters from another mother.
I tried not to cry hard the moment we bid goodbyes to each other. But Lyra, broke down and it almost delaying their travel.
When I left alone in my room, that's when sadness hit me. Sighing as I took a shower to freshen up. And later, working on my closet.
From Shilin:
We're home.
I replied:
Good. Love you and gonna miss you girls.
Then I hit send. I didn't wait for her reply. I made my bed to kill time. I even, rearranged my things in the room.
I heaved a deep sigh when I saw Emjei's present. It was a pair of earrings too. A diamond stud earrings. But I didn't think on wearing this in the next couple of days. So I placed it down in my drawer.
That's when Nolan's present got my attention. My eyes stayed on his gift before I opened it and a sad smile painted on my lips.
It's an infinity stud gold earrings. I had been thinking for about a days now. No need to keep his gift, I had to return his present. My forehead creased when I noticed its unparalled cusion inside. And felt more weirder when I saw a small piece of paper that was placed beneath the cusion.
Feeling curious I got the piece of paper and opened it. My mouth fell when I read it.
Magkita tayo bukas sa rancho. Ala sais ng hapon. (Let's meet tomorrow in rancho. At six in the afternoon.)
-Nolan
I massaged my temple after reading his letter, I think my brain suddenly was being tortured out of a sudden. It had been days since my birthday and surely No Krayol showed up to meet him.
I checked the wall clock. It's past six now and difinitely a days late also. But it didn't stop me on leaving my room and headed to the said place.
It was't that far from here. It would only take ten minutes by sprinting..
I was out of breath when I reached the rancho. Horses, cow and few animals were here in this rancho. Even I was not that sure about the place in his letter. And he might not here anymore after so many days had been passed. I was still trying to look for him.
I looked for some workers here so I could ask them about Nolan or if they saw him. But then I found no one here, it more seemed of a ghost rancho as of the moment.
"Why that letter missed by my pretty eyes." I was now talking to myself coz of my irriration.
One last stable and if I couldn't see him here then I better go home now.
"Krayol.." he whispered my name in a most sweetest way I could ever imagine my name being called.. "What are you doing here?"
"I-I" I stuttered. My face heated when I saw him clear and closer to me.
He's only on his pants on. Giving me the moment to drool over his good naked upper body. This sexy beast. Ugh.
"Anong ginagawa mo dito?" (What are you doing here?) he asked me again. And I couldn't utter a word and just stared at him, speechless and blankly.
I swallowed hard before I got the strength to speak. "Letter. I just read your letter." I was stammering and shaking to show him the piece of paper in my hand. His letter.
He looked at me but didn't say anything. Maybe he was thinking, I was very stupid for finding it late, his letter. Or might be thinking I was an i***t for taking the piece of crap, seriously.
"You read my letter, why you're here now?" his hand touched mine getting the paper from my grip. And it sent goosebump in me.
"Ye-yes." I nodded and wetted my dried lips.
His lips curved into a smile. And it didn't help my situation. Before I could make any movement again. He pulled into my waist and I now feeling his naked hot body.
"Ohh, my princess." he tilted my face with his finger to met his gaze.
My eyes again went wide like a saucer when I felt his hot mouth on mine, before it shut. His kiss made me feeling dizzy. I put my hands on his neck and pulled him more closer.
He bit my bottom lip and I opened my mouth and our tongue collided. He groaned and I moaned as his hands started roaming my body.
He suddenly stopped and pulled out. "Do you know what it means that you are here now?" he's breathing hard.
"No." I shook my head. "But I want to kiss you."
He smiled and scooped me up. The next thing I know, we're lying and him on my top. And devouring my mouth again.
"Ohh!" I moaned louder when his teeth grazed on my neck. Kissing my pulse. And my nails dugged onto his back.
His mouth went to my shoulder and down to the ample of my cleavage. He pulled down my top to make them more visible.
And not being contented with my little nakedness he then pulled all the way my blouse, followed by my brassiere.
I heard him curse before he claimed my boob in his mouth. Suckling my n****e and pinching the other. And it made me more crazier when I felt his hand down to my inner thighs.
"Nolan!" feeling hot and wanting him more so I ground on his hand that earned groan from him.
I want more.. more kisses, more touch and more of him.
