Friends Who Kiss

Greetings from Greenbelt, Makati! I don't have work tonight because my leave got approved so yay! Anyway, I just had to get out because my housemate is pissing the hell out of me. I don't even want to talk about it.

What I do want to talk about though is what happened within the last 5 hours. I was having lunch when I thought I'd invite M over for some company. We have been keeping in touch you know. We didn't see each other for at least 2 months but we'd exchange text messages once in a while.

In about 15 minutes, he arrived and joined me at the table. It was like old friends hanging out and teasing each other about random things. The mood had a slight change when we got to the bedroom though. We started kissing. I took the opportunity to ask him what happened. Why he suddenly disappeared. He said he just got really busy and a lot of things happened. He asked if I was starting to fall for him then.

"Yes," I said casually.

He said we're better off as friends. I didn't say anything but I think I made it quite apparent that I agreed; that I'm over it. I didn't even initiate the cuddling.

To cut the story short, nothing happened. Yes, we got pretty intimate but nothing beyond that occurred. More carnal activities could have taken place but I was honestly not feeling it so I declined. I shrugged off the kisses on the back, on the arms and on the shoulders and ignored the embraces. I even pushed him away as politely as I could at some point.

I never say never but not today. We're friends though. We walked out of the condo together while goofing around. As Gwen Stefani sings, "I know we're cool."
