"Captured by a White Skirt" (The Story of Yosef and Mari) - Chapter 12
One month had passed and they shared more happy moments together. Both of them were trying to know each other more. . .
Their first monthsary was on a weekend, he had no work and she had no class. Both of them were free to celebrate it. They met up in the mall at five in the afternoon. They planned to watch movie and have dinner. However, Mari was wondering because instead of going to the theatre, Yosef took her to a jewelry shop.
“What are we doing here?!?”, Mari asked with a puzzled face.
Yosef then smiled at her and said, “‘Di ba you said you dreamed of having an eternity ring?! I wanted to give it to you as a gift, but I don’t know your size eh, so I brought you here.”.
“Aaawwwww!!!! How, sweet!”, she secretly and silently told herself. She wanted to hug him right then and there, but she tried to stop herself from doing stupid things in public. “As in?! Yehey!!!”, she reacted demurely.
And so the lady attendant in the shop helped Mari in choosing which among the different designs of eternity rings will she choose. Then she was able to choose a simple but elegant design. She was so happy with his gift, and she didn’t expected it. She believed it was too much.
When they had their dinner, it was her turn to give her gift. At first, she was reluctant to give her gift because her gift’s cost is a long way too cheaper compared to his gift. But then, she humbly gave her gift and said, “Here’s my gift. I..I hope you’ll like it.”. She gave him was a personalized magic mug that she ordered from a specialty store.
When he opened the gift, he wondered what’s so special with that black mug. So he tried to put some light on it, then he saw the hidden image beyond the black covering. He was so amazed with the thing and he truly appreciated it. “Wow!! It’s my favorite picture!!”, he said, referring to the image on the mug. “Thank you!”, he added.
After their dinner, they walked alongside the road to the parking lot. At first they were so silent, feeling each other’s hand. Then Yosef broke the silence. “Mari, can I..Uhmmm..you know!”, he said and then he pouted his lips.
Mari was able to get that! At first, she smiled and then laughed so hard after. She knew he seriously asked for a kiss, but she can’t stop herself from laughing because Yosef’s pouting face got registered in her mind! But she stopped laughing when she saw Yosef’s face turned red. “Okay, later..not here!”, she whispered to Yosef. And that made Yosef happy..veeery happy!!
Yosef then took Mari home. Both of them went inside the house. Mari went to her room while Yosef greeted her parents as a sign of courtesy. When Mari came out from her room, she then went back outside with Yosef. But before Yosef went inside his vehicle, he said, “wait, you forgot something!”, he said and smiled foolishly at Mari. He didn’t waited for her go signal; instead, he gracefully grabbed Mari, placed a finger on her chin, then slowly, his lips went down to hers. He gave her a warm and sensual kiss.
That was their very first kiss. In reality, it only lasted for about 3 to 5 seconds, but for the two of them, it seems that the world was frozen. And it seemed that the kiss lasted for 5 minutes.
Mari, even though surprised with Yosef’s move, did not make any fuss because she was touched with what he did! That was the most kilig thing that ever happened to her. A kissing scene in the middle of the street on a cold and windy night!! She felt like she was in a TV drama. She may sound funny but that was what she really felt that very moment.
After the first kiss, Yosef left happily, leaving Mari with a pahabol, one second smack. He loved the feeling of her lips touching his. It was very awesome!!! And he wished that it would be one of the hundreds of kisses that they are still yet to share. And he’s looking forward to that!
