Chapter 12: The Very First Time

Tatlong taon pa ang lumipas ay sixteen years old na siya at masasabi niyang hindi na siya bata kahit bulinggit pa rin ang tawag nito sa kanya. Sa taas niyang five seven ay hindi na siya pwedeng basta asarin nito kahit pa hanggang balikat lang siya nito. Naroon pa rin ito sa university at tinatapos na lang ang thesis. Hindi kasi nito kinuha lahat ng subjects nito. Pagdating ng fifth year ay dalawang subject lang ang kinuha nito dahil gusto muna nitong mag-focus doon na major sa lahat ng major subjects nito. Kaya ang extension nitong isa pang taon ay para lang sa thesis nito. Siya naman ay fourth year high school na at excited na sa kanilang JS Prom.

Lalo pa itong naging masungit sa kanya. Ang mga technique niya ay mukhang hindi na effective kaya nababahala na naman siya pero ayaw naman niyang guluhin ito dahil busy ito sa thesis nito. Saka na sila magtutuos nito. Pagdating naman ng kanilang JS Prom ay bihis na bihis siya dahil siya ang itinanghal na Miss Alma Mater. Naroon pa rin naman ang mga babae ni Alessandro pero nasa college na rin kaya mas lalo siyang nababahala at pilit binabakuran pa ang binata. Mas mahirap pang bantayan ang mga ito pero nakiusap naman ang lalaki sa kanya na huwag muna siyang makulit dahil bata pa naman siya. Pinilit niyang magtiwala dito at nagawa naman niya.

Nang magsayaw sila ng Mister Alma Mater katabi ang Mister and Miss Junior at Mister and Miss Senior ay ipinatugtog ang The Only Exception ng Paramore. Medyo off din ito sa theme kung iisipin, but it was still sweet and romantic. It would have been better if it was Alessandro. Maya-maya ay pumunta na rin sa gitna ng dance floor ang mga estudyante at nakisayaw sa mga kapareha. Nagsalita ang partner niya, ang kaibigan niyang si Christian. “Lisa, I know you are engaged with Alessandro. But, I still want to say this. You are my first crush,” walang gatol na sabi nito. “Behind your rash demeanor, your beauty still shone. Pero wala eh,” natatawang sabi nito. “Sana friends pa rin tayo.”

“Oo naman. Thank you pala ha, ikaw talaga,” nahihiyang sabi niya. “Pero mas maganda naman si Charice,” natatawang sabi niya at lalo pang inasar ito nang mag-blush ito. “Pero seryoso nga bagay talaga kayo.”

“Sinagot na niya ako,” nakangiting sabi nito. “Thank you ha, ikaw ang tulay namin,” anito at niyakap siya nang mahigpit. Pagtingin niya kay Charice ay nakangiti lang din ito sa kanya habang tumatango.

“Get your filthy hands off her,” narinig niyang sabi ng isang baritonong boses.

“Alessandro? Paano ka nakapasok dito?”

“Ang dami mong ipinagbabawal sa akin pero nagpapayakap ka diyan,” anitong nakaismid pa. Inagaw siya nito kay Christian na pinipigilang matawa at nagkibit-balikat bago nilapitan si Charice. Ang lalaki naman ang nagsayaw sa kanya.

“Nag-te-thank you lang siya dahil ako ang naging bridge nila ni Charice,” aniya at itinuro ang magkaperahang magkayakap pa.

“Okay,” anitong tumatango at lalo pa siyang hinapit.

“Mr. Borromeo! Paano ka nakapasok dito?” Pagtingin niya ay naroon na ang guidance counselor na matalim ang pagkakatingin sa lalaki.

“Halika na,” anito at hinatak siya paalis sa dance floor. Tawa lang sila nang tawa nang makarating sa parking lot.

“Selos ka noh,” mayabang niyang sabi habang ipinapaalala ang pambu-brusko nito kay Christian.

“Ako, magseselos? Bakit? Mas gwapo naman ako doon at bulinggit lang iyon.”

“Mas bagay nga yata ang bulinggit sa kapwa bulinggit,” aniya at natawa nang makitang nalukot ang mukha nito.

“Bahala ka sa buhay mong bata ka.”

“Nagseselos ang fiance ko.”

“Hindi nga ako nagseselos. Ang kulit mo,” anito at isinuot sa kanya ang helmet.

“Saan mo na naman ako dadalhin?”

“Basta! Huwag ka nang makulit bulinggit.” Wala din siyang pakialam kahit saan sila pumunta basta ito ang kasama. Hindi kasi siya nito sinasama kapag may pupuntahan ito. Bihira din siya nitong sunduin sa school at ihatid sa bahay nila. Napangiti siya nang huminto sila sa burol, ang kanilang unang date. Para sa kanya ay date iyon dahil napaka-romantic na kinain nila ang bigay niya ritong brownies at cookies habang palubog ang araw.

Nang ilatag nito ang banig, sumalampak na sila roon at tumanaw lang sa kalangitan. Maliwanag ang sinag ng buwan at mga bituin. “Pumupunta rin ba dito ang mga kaibigan mo?” Umiling lang ito at sinabing safe haven nito iyon mula high school ito. “Eh iyung girls mo sa school, gusto nila dito?” Umiling lang ito at hindi na nagsalita ulit. Parang may choir na biglang nag-awitan dahil may palagay siyang siya lang ang dinala nito roon. Kung safe haven nito iyon ay espesyal para dito ang lugar at bahagi iyon na itinatago nito maging sa mga kaibigan nito. Ibig pang sabihin ay talagang espesyal siya rito na kahit lagi siyang sinusungitan at inaasar ay mahalaga siya rito. Pati yata mga mata niya ay nagniningning sa sobrang tuwa at kilig.

“What’s with that smile?”

“Wala. Masaya lang akong makabalik dito.”

“I see.”

“Beautiful,” aniya habang nakatingin sa maliwanag na kalangitan.

“Not as beautiful as you are,” anito.

“Bolero,” natatawang sabi niya. Ngumiti lang ito sa kanya at pumuwesto sa likod niya saka siya niyakap nang mahigpit. That was the first time he did that. It was so tender that she wanted to cry. Sumandal lang siya sa dibdib nito habang nakakulong pa rin sa mga bisig nito. Maya’t maya pa nitong hinahalikan ang bumbunan niya kaya hanggang talampakan niya ay dama niya ang kilig. Nang lumingon siya dito ay nakatitig din pala ito sa kanya.

“Beautiful,” he said again as if he was in a daze. He lowered his head to give her a heartstopping kiss. She was no longer afraid because with him, she would always be safe and content. Her heart has always belonged to him, no doubt about it. She opened her mouth to meet his kiss and allow him to breathe into her. His kiss was like the air she breathed. It was the water that she needed after a long walk in the desert.

“Les,” she said between their kisses. She clung to him more as if he was her strength, her gravity that ballasted her in space. Moments later, she was already sighing in an inexplicable delight as his lips traveled down her neck and shoulders. She felt his hand unzip her gown and lay her down on the mat.

“Beautiful,” he said again as he stared at her. All she wore was her underwear. “Would you let me make love to you, baby?”

“L-Les…”

“I will take care of you. Please let me make love to you.”

“Yes,” she said while nodding her head. He smiled at her and took off his shirt. She was mesmerized with his well-sculpted body as if a chisel was used to shape every part. He was perfection. Her gaze traveled from his broad shoulders, his strong arms, down to his hard chest and washboard abs.

“Like it?” Tumaas-baba ang mga balikat nito sa pagpipigil na matawa sa kanya. He removed her bra, and like a baby waiting for his milk, sucked them one by one.

“Les,” she said while looking up at the sky. She closed her eyes in utmost pleasure, but she still could see the stars shine. He touched and tasted her body until he stopped. When she opened her eyes, he was looking at her. He was grinning from ear to ear like a boy who was doing some silly things. He used his mouth to remove the remaining piece of cloth she had and plunged into it. The pleasure she was feeling intensified. She felt like her temperature skyrocketed as his mouth adored her most sacred part. The wonderful act continued until she felt something dripping into her thighs.

“Delicious,” he said while his tongue lashed back and forth.

He moved up so they could see each other face to face. She knew what would happen next when he nodded as if asking her if she was ready. He stood up again and removed his pants. His proud member was still inside the piece of cloth, but it was futile to hide it. It was moving as if wanting to come out. He took it off, and she gasped in awe when she saw his maleness fully erect pointing upward. That was the first time she saw it up close, and it was bigger than the first time she saw it. He raised his eyebrows with a playful grin on his lips as if he knew she loved what she saw. He opened a foil package with a condom, and put it into his massive cock. He moved down and poised himself on top of her. “I’ll be careful,” he said. He made his entry, and she shrieked in pain when he hit her barrier. “Can you take the pain, baby?”

“Y-yes,” she said. It was painful as if she was torn in two. He stopped moving and showered her face with soft kisses as if asking for forgiveness for the pain he caused her. He pulled out his penis. She thought he would stop when he removed the condom. But, he positioned himself to make another penetration. He rubbed the part between her thighs until she felt something steamy would pour again. He moved again. He was so careful that the pain became bearable even if he was huge in every way. The pain ebbed and was replaced by a tingling sensation that she just noticed she was growling as she called his name. That was when he fastened his pace and thrusted harder into her as if she would vanish into thin air. Their gazes and lips locked. Moments later, the hill was filled with their incoherent cries as they quivered and poured their heat into each other. He made another deep thrust before pulling out his rock hard cock. She knew what he wanted to do. He didn’t want to pop it inside her. They were still too young to take responsibility.
