THE VIRGIN'S BUCKETLIST

Ting. Lumabas ako ng elevator at naglakad papunta a condo unit ko. I typed my passcode and then looked at the man standing not far from me. Di ko matagalan ang tingin na binibigay niya sa akin. He looked like a bored and impatient beast waiting for his prey to make a wrong move and capture her. I am his prey but I don't feel scared at all. Willing victim, I guess? Binuksan ko ang pinto at iniwang bukas para sa lalaki. Dahan dahang pumasok ang lalaki habang nakatingin sa akin. We stared at each other in this dark room. Hearing each's breath and sighs. Sinarado niya ang pinto at tumingin ulit sa akin sa gitna ng dilim. He went near me and slowly held my waist. I bravely hold on to his tie and look at his face as it gets closer. We were an inch apart when I let go of his tie and made my way inside my room leaving the door open for him. "Hay. That was close. Ang bango." isip ko. Nabuksan ko na ang dim lights bago narinig ang mga footsteps niya. Tumingin ako sa kanya habang tinatanggal ko ang mga accessories ko. Ni-lock niya ang pintuan at nanatiling nakatingin sa akin. "I'll shower first." sabi ko sa kan'ya. Di siya sumagot kaya pumasok na ko sa bathroom. As the warm water runs into my skin, I begin to rethink what I've done. Three million pesos for a man. I sound like a cougar or sugar mommy while I'm just 34 years old. "Ganto na ba ako ka-desperada para sa lalaki?" isip ko habang binabalikan ang dahilan kung bakit mayroong gwapong lalaki diyan sa labas ng bathroom ko. Minadali ko na ang paglinis ng katawan at inisip ang bucket list. "Faith, Mahirap lang sa umpisa. You've been a good girl for 34 years! You'll be fine. It's okay. Tandaan mo lang yung goal mo kung bakit mo ito ginagawa, huh?" kausap ko sa sarili habang nagbabanlaw ng katawan. I sighed. Whatever! Nakabalot ang katawan ko sa bath robe at ang buhok sa tuwalya ng lumabas ako ng bathroom. This is it! I saw him sitting on the bed as I made my way to my vanity mirror and grab my comb and blower. I can see through the reflection that he is looking at me. "You can take a shower if you want to..." sabi ko sa kanya habang nakatingin sa salamin. Saglit siyang tumitig sa akin bago pumasok ng banyo. Doon ko pinakawalan ang mabibigat na hininga. "He is too much for me. Gosh! Titig pa lang, parang hihimayin na ako." isip ko pa. Kakatapos ko lang mapatuyo ang aking buhok ng narinig ko ang paglabas niya ng banyo. Agad kong naramdaman ang nerbiyos ng makita na tanging tuwalya sa kanyang bewang lang ang suot ng lalaki. I can see how the droplets of water from his damped hair made their way down to his broad shoulders, firm chest, and sexy abs. "Done checking me out?" He said huskily with a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Not yet," I said bluntly. I don't think I'll ever be done checking him out. Such a hot specie. Ramdam ko ang tensiyon ng mula sa mapaglarong tingin, naging mapanganib ang itsura ng lalaki. Dahan-dahan siyang lumapit at rinig ko ang malakas na t***k ng aking puso dahil sa nerbiyos. Or the anticipation, rather. He is now just inches from me. Amoy na amoy ko ang sabon ko na gamit niya. It was supposed to be sweet and citrus but It smells so manly on him. He lowered his head and gently caressed my cheeks bringing shivers to my whole being. I gulped as his gaze went down from my eyes into my lips like it is the most delicious thing he could ever want to taste. I found myself doing the same by looking at his luscious lips. "Just kiss me." isip ko habang nakatingin sa kanyang labi. And as if narinig niya ang isip ko, he crossed the distance and our lips met. My very first kiss. It was soft, warm and addictive. Lumayo siya at tinignan akong sabik na sabik. His thumb brush on my lower lip sexily as I gasp for air. "Oh gosh! I need more." isip ko. He kissed me again but longer and more torrid. I don't know how I can answer his kisses but I did. My Bucketlist: #1-Have my very first kiss. ☑
