It was summertime the first time I saw Lise.

Nasa labas ako noon at dinidiligan ang mga orchids na tanim ni Nanay.

I was also bored out of my mind dahil my friends were in Manila at ayaw niya akong payagang lumuwas.

Bakasyon daw at dapat magpahinga ako sa bahay at hindi iyong gala ang laman ng utak ko.

She got out of the moving truck at napatigil ako sa ginagawa ko.

Her hair reached past her shoulders and it was dark as night.

Nagkandahaba ang leeg ko para silipin kung sino ang mga bagong lipat sa tapat namin.

Sakto naman na she was doing the same thing kaya nagkatinginan kami.

We smiled at each other then binalik ko ang atensiyon ko sa mga dinidiligang bulaklak.

Nahiya kasi ako bigla dahil nahuli niya na nakatingin ako sa kanya.

Pero kahit natapos na ang ginagawa ko at pumasok na ako sa loob ng bahay, I kept thinking of her smile.

It was genuine at saka ang puti ng ngipin niya.

I was nineteen and I don't think I know what it was like to be in love.

But when I saw her, there was something in me that was left  unsettled.

There was this nagging feeling that I want to know her more.

Fast forward to now and I am standing behind her as she watched the bright city lights.

Dressed in a white robe, her curve was outlined in the fitted way she tied the belt around her waist.

She melted into my arms when I hugged her from behind.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Tinuro niya ang twinkling lights that illuminated the city.

I looked down and saw the silver brightness.

Humarap si Lise and looked up to meet my eyes.

I bent down and covered her lips with mine.

She tasted so sweet and I couldn't get enough of her.

My heart was pulsing in my ears.

Kinakabahan ako dahil I was unsure if I still know how to touch her the right way.

Lise sensed my apprehension.

She took my hand then placed it inside her robe.

Her skin was soft and velvety.

I stopped myself from digging my nails into her skin.

With my hands inside her robe, the belt loosened to reveal her naked body.

I felt pinpricks on her skin as my palms caressed her slender waist.

She shook her shoulders and the robe fell on the floor.

In the dim light in the room, my eyes travelled to admire her beautiful form.

She's still as hot as the first time I saw her.

Lise captured my mouth again and this time, the fire that was quickly building inside me was ready to overpower her.

I untied my robe and let our bodies merge into each other.

A long time ago, I always let Lise lead.

But tonight, I gently pushed her back to the bed and a smile escaped her lips.

Naalala pa niya yata ang routine namin dati and suddenly, I became self-conscious.

"Keep going, babe." She encouraged.

Dahil I'm a very willing follower, I kissed her from the top of her head down to her nose and then gently nibbled her chin.

"Oh God." Lise groaned.

"I haven't done anything yet." I teased.

She propped on her elbows to look at me.

I was mesmerized.

Her long, silky mane fell softly past her shoulders and I was once again brought back into that summer afternoon when it was so hot and I was sweaty.

Gusto kong maligo gamit ang hose at buti na lang at hindi ko ginawa.

It would have been embarrassing kung nakita niya ako in my wet T-shirt.

When she got out of the truck, lalong uminit ang pakiramdam ko and the sensation was new to me.

But it's different tonight.

Even in my nakedness, I feel good in my skin.

Gone was the fumbling teenager who couldn't even hold eye contact for a few seconds longer.

Lise must have seen the hunger in my eyes.

She wrapped her legs around my waist to push me down.

"You're taking too long." She flipped me on my back and her breasts hang proudly, taunting me.

My hands went up but Lise grabbed both of them then put it above my head.

"I'm still your top." Her eyes were heavy with desire.

I swallowed when I heard what she said because she sounded so sexy.

Lise trailed kisses on my shoulders down to my chest.

When she reached my navel, she stopped.

"I don't want to rush anything." She let go of my hands and lay down beside me.

I scooped her in my arms and kissed her again.

The heat I felt was building with rapid intensity and with every kiss, I could tell that she felt the same way.

"Who am I  kidding?" Sabi ko.

"I don't think I can wait anymore." I got up and straddle her.

"I don't think I can either." Bumangon na din siya.

"Sit!" I commanded.

Umupo siya palapit sa headboard and I kneeled in front of her.

Sweat trickled down the side of her cheeks pababa sa gilid ng tenga niya.

Her skin was glowing from the heat and it intensified my desire.

Ang tagal ko siyang hinintay.

Now that she's here, the only thing going through my mind was how to make her happy.

I placed a pillow behind her back to make her more comfortable.

Her legs were spread, waiting.

With my left hand, I grabbed a hold of the headboard for support.

Lise placed one hand on my waist and reach underneath.

I was wet as the ocean at ganun din siya.

"Fuck!" Hindi ko napigil ang bibig ko.

I was like a dynamite ready to blow up at anytime but I could see that she's not ready.

"Wait for me." Halos mautal na sabi niya.

Hindi madaling pigilan lalo na at I could feel the flickering burst of electricity from my toes coming up to my legs but I did....for Lise.

Hihintayin ko siya if it makes her happy na sabay kami.

"Look at me, babe." Her voice was quivering.

I tightened my grip on the headboard and quickened my strokes.

I felt her getting slicker and the feverish heat in my belly came back.

The bed shook like crazy but I don't even care.

She was close and so am I and when her grip on my waist tightened, I felt that I could let go of my own yearning.

That's what I did.

I let go and rode the high for as long as it could take me.

Lise's moans guided me to where she wanted me to be.

When she collapsed in my arms, I know that it was worth the wait.
