Love like a Calm Wind

Safe Haven

Put your head on my shoulder...

WE BOTH decided to go out on Saturday.Weeks after he confess to me he's doing nothing but probing himself.He's kind of sweet and shy.He said he's not the type to be sweet to anyone.All his past girls are casual.I'm shock I'm not jealous about it.We keep our relationship a secret since we're still on the way on figuring ourselves out.

Today is Saturday and we agreed on a date.I've been looking forward for this that I sleep late in the evening.I'm not even aware of my father's presence anymore.He's quite this days that I wonder what he's doing.

I took my phone and call Gelo.Ever since we met,we've been communicating with each other.I also spend time with him on weekend.Under that shabby tree.We used to came there before.When my mother is still alive.

His father is my father's assisstant but he's also close to my Mom.Palaging nasa bahay si Gelo noon.Palaging nakabuntot sa Papa niya.He's four years older than me.I don't know how and why we became friends.It just happened and I don't quite remember since I was so young then.I just know that he's a nice friend.

"Hello?"he asked huskily.He's probably sleepy.He told me he rarely sleep this days because he got tons of work to do.

"Gelo!Guess what?"I cheekily exclaimed.

"Hmm...What?"

"I'm going on a date!"And I giggled.I'm really excited for this huh?.

I heard him laugh on the other line.

"Hmm.Dalaga kana,ha.Enjoy!"and he said some tips and many more dating things.I blushed when I realize how expert he is.I bet he's been dating for years.With different girls.

I was inside a small cafe in town.I choose this because it's not very crowded.Costumers rarely come here.They prefer those nearer cafe.

I scroll on my phone while waiting.I came early than I thought.I look outside through the glass window.I saw a passing car.My mouth ran dry when I realize who is it.But the driver didn't notice me.It drove pass the cafe.

What is my father doing here?

I waited for a couple of minutes before a man wearing a gray shirt and black pants with white shoes came in.He looks handsome.More handsome with his uniform.He's wearing a shades and a cap.That adds to the cool vibes around him.

"Hi,sorry.Did I make you wait?"he said and look at his rolex.

I smiled sweetly."Not really.I came here early."

He then lean forward and put the strands of my hair at the back of my ears.He smiled sweetly.

"Your pretty."

I blush instantly.Damn,my heart is beating like a madman.

We order and stayed there for a an hour.Talking about our days.And plans in life.I enjoy chatting with him.After that we decided to leave.

"Saan tayo?"he asked me.He showed his keys and I think of a place we where we can be comfortable and at peace.

"I don't know if you'll like it but it's quite there.Doon ako laging nagpupunta kung tumatakas ako sa bahay."

"Talaga?I'd love to visit that place.Tara?"and by that I slid inside his car.It's simple.I don't know a lot about cars but his car looks neat.

We drove for half an hour.I told him to stop when I saw the shabby tree.I lead the way and be follow me from behind.

"D-dito...ano kasi tahimik at kita ang ulap."I said shyly.Walang special sa lugar na ito.Pero gusto kong makita niya ang lugar na paborito ko.

He look at me with seriousness in his eyes.I look down feeling shy.He come forward and held my waist.Napaangat ako ng tingin.Biglang bumundol ang puso ko.Napakalapit niya.He look at my eyes.And smiled gently.

"I like it here.It's peaceful."

He held my hands and put it on his shoulder.I am positive that I'm red as tomato right now.He rest his palms on my waist and started to sway gently.

I follow his lead slowly.We look like an i***t dancing with no song.I was about to say it when he begin to sing.

'Put your head on my shoulder

Hold on me in your arms,baby~

'Fall in love~

He then stop dancing so I did too.I look aay him awkwardly.He lean forward slowly.Our face are only an inch gap.My heart is beating loudly and wildly.

Like what I expect,he kissed me softly.And I confirm it to myself that I like him.Finally,I admitted it.

At first it was just a smack but he kissed me again,this time he lips are moving slowly and gently.I don't know how to kiss I try to move my lips.He stopped kissing me.Yumuko ako sa kahihiyan.Hindi talaga ko maruning humalik.

"I-i d-don't know h-ho—"before I could finish my sentence he cut me off with a kiss.This time more aggressive.I tried my best to kiss him back.

It was the happiest moment of my life.My first kiss.My first crush.It was indeed majestic.I feel like a princess with his prince charming.Only he said that he prefer to be a fox.

I don't know for how long we stayed there.All I could remember was kissing him.We kissed till the sun came down.
