章節 23: We Will Get There
Maya's POV
"I think you are my girlfriend now." Adonis said, and I smiled at him.
"Almost, you still need to enhance your kissing ability, then maybe, I will change my mind." I replied, and I wonder where did I get such courage to flirt with Adonis.
"Wow! I like that, Maya, it means more kissing and touching, don't worry about the next time that I will kiss you, you won't let me go without accepting me as your boyfriend." He said, and I can feel butterflies on my stomach. I don't know how can I resist him, and I am not even sure if I can last until tomorrow, but I have to follow my mind, Adonis Monleon should repent all the bad things he had done to me, he should learn that I am not an easy girl, but the way I responded to his kisses is enough evidence that I am so crazy about him.
"I am patient, Maya, but I will be happier to oblige to your request since you want me to improve my kissing proficiency, so you have to be ready." He said, and I can't stop myself from smiling that I keep Adonis thinking about the kiss.
"I don't even know how to kiss, Adonis, you were my first kiss, but I don't know if I did an outstanding job the first time we kiss." I replied, and I can't help myself blush.
"You kiss like a pro, Maya, I love all of it. To be honest, I lay wide awake that night thinking of your sweet lips." He declared.
"Are you certain about that, Adonis? You kiss two girls that night, or I am not even sure, maybe you kissed so many ladies that night." I spoke, and it feels like the pain I feel that midnight is rushing back to me.
"Hey, I only remember the kiss we shared, I don't mean to kiss Cassandra that night, but I saw you hugging Rich, I got so angry that time, it was Cass who informed me you were with my best friend and when I look for you, you were already hugging him, what do you expect me to do? This is the point I realized what I went through that night was out of my jealousy of my best friend." He declared, and he released a heavy sighed.
"I cried that night when Rich found me, I was on my way to the restroom when I heard Cassandra talking with your friends, and they were chatting about the bet. I felt so hurt because I thought the kiss we shared was real, I was in so much pain, and I return to the balcony alone, and I was breaking down, and I was glad Rich came, I don't know what happened to me without him." I said, and I am trying my best to contain my tears.
"I am certain you will ridicule me in front of your friends that night. I hated the way you embraced Cassandra, she even called me a slut for she saw us kissing, and I can tell she likes you a lot. I know the two of you belong together since you are both wealthy and good-looking. I am just a farmhand which can be bet and play with." I said, and he takes me into his arms.
"Maya! I am so sorry, if I could only turn back time I will, I don't mean to hurt you that night. When I asked you to dance with me, no one urged me to. Your beauty fascinated me that night and I love the way you danced with me. I wanted to call off the bet, but it was too late, I want to ask Jake to stop it, but he already told everyone in our circle of friends, and I hate myself for being an idiot. Maya, please instruct me how can I make it up to you." He said in more than a whisper, and I can declare that he is so sincere this time.
"Just kiss me, Adonis." I said without thinking, and it was already late to take it back, I saw Adonis's face lights up and his perfect smile is driving me crazy. Then he cupped my face and claimed my mouth, and his hungry kiss makes my skin covers with goosebumps. The way he trailed kisses on my neck and to my earlobe is making me so alive. I don't want him to stop kissing me, but I suddenly remember I still need to prepare dinner at home.
But I can't get enough of him, I tilt my head when I feel him kiss my throat and I felt his hands caressed my back, I want to kiss him more, but I don't wish him to think I am getting wild. And I know Adonis Monleon gives me a different longing, and I hope someday together we can explore each other's body through our touch and kisses.
"I don't wish you to stop kissing me, Adonis, but I have to prepare dinner." I blurted out when I let go of his embrace, and I can tell he is a little disappointed, but he beamed at me.
"We still have tomorrow, Maya." He said and put the car into motion. The sunsets on the horizon made me feel relax, and I prefer watching the clouds at this hour, the mix of hues always fascinates me. I don't want to disembark from his car, and I smile thinking the irony of everything before I hate even watching his car passed me by, but right now I wish to remain seated beside him, and I love inhaling his scent that caused me so addicted for he smells so heavenly.
"Thank you, Adonis, for taking me home." I said.
"Always, for my future girlfriend." He said, and he takes my hand and kisses my knuckles, then I turn around to climb out, but he stops me, and he let me face him, and he claimed my mouth that made my knees go weak, and I felt like jelly the moment he let me go. I can feel my body shivers as he touches me, and he got out of the car in haste and opens the door for me.
He surprised me when he takes my waist and lifted me from the seat, and he put me down slowly on the ground and I think I am losing this battle early. I want to tell him right then and there in front of our house I accept him as my boyfriend, but I zip my mouth. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw some of our neighbors gazing at us, and I felt they enjoyed gossip extensively, and I can say they are envious that Adonis is being so sweet to me.
"Have a good night, Maya." He whispers into my ear and I perceive I am blushing.
"You too, Adonis, and please take care." I replied.
"Of course, I should be more careful now that you are in my life, there are so many things I wish us to do together, and so many places I prefer to visit with you." He said, then he got back to his car.
I am standing on the side of the road watching the car of Adonis getting smaller from a distance, and I am touching my swollen lips and I smile like an idiot, and I realized all the tears I cried just vanish and replace with new feelings that makes me so thrilled.
"Maya!" Lisa startled me, I almost jump when she yelled at me, and when I turn around I saw her standing on our doorstep with her arms crossed over her chest, and I can tell her annoyance based on her facial expression.
"I have been texting and calling you, but you did not answer, and now I know the reason." She spoke as I go near her.
"I am sorry, Lisa, you know this is the first time I had fun." I said, and I can't stop myself from smiling at her, and her face softened.
"Really? How about yesterday?" She asked, and we get inside the house.
"Yesterday, it was surreal, but now I feel so different and very happy." I answered as I wash the pot, I am so inspired to prepare dinner.
"As your best friend, it is only natural that you should share with me what is making you so overjoyed that you can't stop yourself from beaming, and I am afraid if Adonis made you drink something that you look like this." She declared.
"Don't be silly." I replied.
"Of course, you realize I was just kidding, since I am so excited to find out the update of your friendship with the Monleon Heir. It seems Young Master Adonis wins your heart overnight." She stated.
"Spit it out, Maya, you know me, I can't wait to hear it," Lisa added.
"He asked me to be his girlfriend." I responded and her eyes widened, and she covered her mouth and I saw my best friend jumping in front of me, and I can tell she is more thrilled than me, and she is crying.
"I am so happy for you, Maya." She said after her episodes and she hugged me.
"Wow! No wonder your smiles reach to your ears. This is great, I was right, after all, Adonis likes you and he has been just afraid of his feelings for you. I am so glad for you, girl." She added.
"Maybe, but I have not accepted him yet." I muttered, and I can see the shock on her face.
"Why? Stop playing hard to get, Maya, You have been waiting for this to happen for a long time, but why you are doing this to Adonis?" She asked and I know Lisa has a point.
"Lis, he made my life like hell for how many years, and I won't go easy on him, even though my heart is jumping to be his girlfriend, I just wish something for myself that I can be proud of." I replied.
"Maya, having Adonis Monleon as your boyfriend is more than you can be proud of, and besides, I don't want you to have regrets later on. What if he will get bored waiting for you, remember the rich kids are impatient because they always prefer what they want immediately. I respect your decision but being your best friend, I know what you desire in your heart." She answered and looked at me with concern.
"Thank you, Lisa, I know, but don't worry, we will get there." I said, and now I am afraid of what she claimed. I believe Adonis differs from his friends, but I can't stop myself from feeling so anxious.
