Para kay Kelsey, Rachel was her dream--the impossible kind.

Una, hindi niya alam if she was also into girls.

Mahirap nga namang matukoy dahil her teacher was very feminine.

Mula sa soft and gentle features, pananamit at pagkilos.

But there was something in her eyes that gave her away.

That split second they locked eyes during the first day of school, Kelsey knew in her heart she found someone similar.

Hindi niya naman plinanong ma-inlove.

The truth was, meron siyang girlfriend sa ibang school.

It was more convenient that way.

Baka kasi kapag nalaman sa St. Michael's, mapatalsik pa siya.

Pero ang naging attraction niya for Miss Gonzales, as she used to call her then, was different.

She would describe it as hysteria—a term na ginamit ng psychology professor nila kanina sa klase.

Her heart was out of control pagdating kay Rachel.

Kapag nakikita niya ito sa hallway, hindi niya maiwasan na tingnan ito.

She was so beautiful in her simplicity.

Unlike the other teachers na todo make-up, Rachel doesn't even need to put anything in her face to attract other people.

It was her eyes and smile that captivated her the most.

Nangungusap kasi ang mga mata nito.

Kapag tumitingin siya dito, it reflected the kindness of her soul.

But right now, hindi kindness ang nakikita ni Kelsey kundi passion.

Well, she can't exactly see dahil madilim.

But she feels it in the way Rachel smothers her with kisses.

When she nibbled the fleshy part of her ear, she thought she was going to pass out.

The ache in her belly grew stronger but she knew her patience would be rewarded.

Rachel was her first.

She never went all the way with the other girls she'd been with.

Hindi niya alam kung bakit she was never encouraged to have sex with them.

Fear maybe?

Or maybe it was because she wanted her first time to be with a very special person?

Hindi niya alam kung sino at kung kelan darating ang special person na iyon.

Naramdaman niya na lang when she met Rachel.

Those 292 days were the most challenging time of her young life.

Rachel was within her reach pero they couldn't even touch.

Hanggang tingin na lang siya dito.

Lagi niya itong nginingitian pero matipid na ngiti lang lagi ang ganti nito.

Kung masanggi man niya ang daliri nito, she was quick to withdraw na akala mo eh nadarang sa apoy.

They paid a price for their paranoia at naiintindihan niya naman kung bakit.

She was only seventeen then.

Isa pa, she was under Rachel's advisory class.

Kung hindi sila naghintay, baka natanggal si Rachel sa school.

It would ruin her career at siguradong maeeskandalo ito.

Ang dami pa namang gossip sa school.

Sigurado si Kelsey na magiging hot topic ang relasyon nilang dalawa.

Worse, Rachel will be bullied hindi lang sa school kundi pati sa labas nito.

With technology, it was so easy to intimidate someone.

Now that they're together, Kelsey felt it was good they waited.

Eighteen na siya and no longer a student at St. Michael's.

Now, they are alone in Rachel's room and she was slowly trailing kisses on her very long legs.

"Baby, you're killing me." Nakikiusap na sabi niya.

"Then you'll die happy." Sabi naman ni Rachel.

Lalo tuloy nabaliw si Kelsey sa narinig.

When she felt Rachel's tongue on her center, no amount of girl-on-girl porn could ever compare to the unsettling sensations she felt.

Everything in her body was screaming for release.

If what Rachel said was true that she would die happy, she wanted her life to end now.

Hirap na siyang kontrolin ang init na nararamdaman niya.

Kahit umuulan, pawis na pawis ang buong katawan niya.

Sweat trickled down the length of her spine as she watched Rachel worked her way down there.

"Please, baby?" Pakiusap niya ulit.

This time, hindi na sumagot si Rachel.

Her tongue was in and out of Kelsey's opening.

It was time to stop fighting and to start giving in to all the pleasurable shocks that her body was experiencing.

Pinikit ni Kelsey ang mga mata niya.

She imagined Rachel smiling at her while she was walking down the hallway.

Minsan iniiisip niya na those looks were reserved only for her.

Kelsey straightened both of her legs.

Feeling her body stiffened, she held her breath.

In her mind's eye, she saw a very bright light.

She believed in heaven and would like to go there in the afterlife.

But heaven is also possible while you're still alive. Naisip niya.

Love and heaven are synonymous in her mind right now.

The reason being the woman with whom she fell madly in love with was giving her something magical.

When the trembling stopped, Rachel crawled back and lay beside Kelsey.

Hinalikan niya ito sa noo.

"Is this what love is?" Bigla na lang namutawi sa bibig niya.

"What do you mean?"

"I feel like I could die over and over and it would be a good thing."

She felt Rachel's warm breath against her neck.

"How come I didn't know you to be poetic?" Biro nito.

"Because you never made love to me before."

"Ah."

Hinalikan niya si Rachel sa labi at nabuhay muli ang init sa katawan niya.

"Baby?" Bulong ni Rachel ng bahagya siyang humiwalay.

"Yes?"

"Thank you for waiting for me."
