My First Kiss

Intro...

The loud ringtone of my phone disturbed my peaceful sleep. My visions were not yet clear as I tried to reach my phone that was placed on the table right next to my bed. Sliding my fingers on the screen, I touched, ANSWER.

"Hey, Nate! Where are you? Come on, your ex is having a good time here, and you, what the heck are you doing? Come over, hurry up!" a demanding voice of one of my stupid best friends muttered over the phone. 

"What the heck are you trying to say?" I asked as I rubbed my eyes and slowly sat up on my bed and wore my eyeglass.

"Okay, you're still hangover, isn't it? Nate, we're here at April's party, and you are missing a lot of things... Don't be a loser, just come here, quickly," he roared and hang-up without even letting me talk a bit more.

Standing to get ready, I could still feel the impact of the alcohol emanating through my brain as I turned on the shower, attempting to wash away all of the alcohol I had last night. My girlfriend abandoned me and dated a new guy two days after our break-up, and I couldn't accept it. She left me for someone who was only the son of our great school owner. What the heck?! I'm more than just a billionaire!

"This is all crazy," I murmured as I looked at my reflection in the mirror, trying to look good, oh... look perfect. But I couldn't eliminate the bitterness in me.

"Why do I need to do this anyway? She is having a good time with that jerk!"

Wearing my collared-shirt and glanced at myself again in the mirror, I hurriedly grab my key.

"Are you already close?" my brother asked, April's boyfriend. The party was for my brother's girlfriend and worst, one of my ex's friend.  

"Coming," I texted back.

Driving my Lamborghini to April's place, I parked and saw the jerk's car. Roaring, I just parked somewhere else. I wasn't being bitter, I was just trying to avoid things I didn't want to do. I might think of something stupid, like scratching his car or whatever. 

"Hey! Nate!" Zoren said as I went inside of my car after parking.

Before he could say a thing, I spoke first, "If you are going to demand again, I'm telling you, I'm not interested!" I said immediately and he bumped his shoulder to mine as he clicked his tongue.

"Look at there?!" he said and pointed at the corner, using his eyes. Following his eyes, I saw Loreign, my ex. She was standing in front of his new guy, Troy. He was wrapping his hands around her belly, from the back; yet looking the way his hands were, damn! He was just a maniac, trying to reach that part, secretly wanting to touch some part of her chest, pretending it was just a hug. 

I gritted my teeth and wanted to punch him in the face as hard as I could, he disgusts me... I clenched my jaw and my fists... and was about to go near them but Zoren pulled me back. 

"Don't dare to make a fuss here, Nate..." his calm and worried voice rang in my ears.

Rolling my eyes at him, "What do you think are you doing?! I know you noticed his hands! The heck, Zoren, she's your sister... are you not going to do anything and watch that jerk disrespect your sister?" I roared at him. 

He just sighed and I could see no madness on his face... which made me want to punch him first, she's his sister... He sighed once more and pushed my shoulder down, trying to calm me down.

"Geez! Nate, calm down," he sighed.

"How can I? That jerk is disrespecting my girl," I exclaimed.

"Just want to say, she's no longer your girl, Nate. Besides, even if he does that, there is no point in being angry... They make out already. I caught them sleeping together, naked, last night... I couldn't believe they did it in the house... what a stupid twin sister..." he said and my eyes widened in surprise.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Geez! Nate, what else should I tell you? They have..." 

Before he could say the word, I stopped him. 

"I get it, don't spit it out..." I frowned and he just tapped my back.

Looking back at Loreign, I just couldn't believe she let him touch her. I've respected her a lot that I didn't even kiss her. Yeah, we've been together for two years but I never once kiss her, why? I want to do that at our wedding, maybe after we graduate, I'll propose to her, get a job and live with her. I want to have my first kiss on my wedding day. I wanted to give everything I have to my wife, I wanted her to be my first kiss, my first in everything but Loreign? Why?

"Are you alright?" he asked and even it was hurt, I smiled and nodded my head. 

"Let me just greet my brother's girlfriend," I said in a low voice. 

Walking towards my brother, I could feel the pang in my heart. The pain, anger, and everything. 

"Nate, you're finally here," my brother said as he placed his arm above his girlfriend's shoulders.

"Yeah, Zoren, called me," I frowned.

"Happy Birthday, April," I added as I smiled at her.

"Thanks... I heard you and Loreign broke up, are you alright?" she said and walked near me. 

I smiled in awkwardness and looked at my brother, Charles, who was standing behind her.

Trying not to get caught by her, I widened my eyes at my brother for babbling about my relationship status, and he just smirked at me, and I groaned followed by a sigh.

Smiling at his girlfriend, I answered, "Yeah... We’re maybe really not for each other," I just answered and looked back at my brother who was scratching his head, he was dumbfounded. Geez! How could he do this to me!

*****

 It was already dark and the party seemed going too wild down there... I couldn't watch such no-manner guys, of course, except my brother and my friend. They just look like some stupid men but they were opposed to that, they were nice and trustworthy. 

I was heading to the rooftop, I felt comfortable to be alone as I looked at the empty sky when I suddenly heard some familiar giggles from the side... and when I rolled my eyes at where the sounds were, my eyes met Loreign. She was hanging her hands around Troy's neck.

I was about to go back downstairs but I was too late. The jerk noticed me.

"Gosh! You startled me, what are you doing in the dark?" he said and Loreign was surprised to see me the moment that I walked towards the light.

"It's you?!" Troy whispered and I didn't know what to say, I hate to see him that close. Staring at Loreign, my heart sank. 

"Are you following us? Don't tell me you still didn't accept that I'm the one she chose?" his devilish smirked painted on his damn face.

I wanted to punch him, but I'm not that kind of a person, trying to create a fight over some stupid words. 

"Nate?! I couldn't believe you will stalk me... That's insane! You’re crazy!" Loreign raised a brow as she stared at me in disbelief.

My heart shattered into pieces by the words she just said. She never called me that before...  I wanted to explain but damn! What am I supposed to tell her? I didn't want to get embarrassed in front of her, besides, she won't believe it anyway...

Well, in the end, I wanted them to know they were wrong, but when I was about to explain, a sudden woman appeared in front of me and the next thing I remembered was, she was kissing me on the lips. What the heck?! I was surprised that I couldn't even say a word. But when I noticed Loreign looking at us, even if I didn't like it, to escape from their question and trying to save myself that they were wrong, I kissed the girl back.

  I didn't even know who was this girl, yet I still pretended, I grabbed her from the waist and the promise I made to myself was broken. I kissed a girl, and worst, I didn't even know her, she’s a total stranger who dare to kiss me out of the blue. My first kiss was this stranger girl. I closed my eyes, and honestly, my heart was pounding, that's weird... was it the feeling when it was your first time kissing someone? Gosh! It was hard to have no experience, I didn’t understand the feeling.

"Let's go, babe, this place is occupied," that jerk said and I saw them walking away, exiting the door. I couldn't believe what was happening but this girl.

‘Who was she?’ I thought as I felt her breaking the kiss and then…

*Pak*

A loud slap landed on my face, and my eyeglasses fell down on the ground by the great impact that my face just obtained.

"How dare you kissed me?!" she yelled at me, and I felt my ears burning. What?... I couldn't believe she got mad for the thing she did first? 

I laughed in sarcasm and said, "Wait! I should be the one to ask you that... you are the one who..." I was distracted when her phone rang. She glared at me and then answered the phone. I couldn't believe she has the guts to look at me like that. 

I watched in wonder as I watched her talking with someone over the phone, then I was about to follow her when I noticed her going downstairs.

“Wait we’re not done talking,” I called but then, Zoren came into the picture. 

"There you are... I've been looking for you," he said and went closer to me, and when I look at the door I couldn't see the girl anymore, I could only see nothing but the dark area behind the door. 

I sighed in frustration, I should have yelled at her, how could she say words that I would suppose to ask her, she ruined my first kiss... 

"Nate, can you take me home?" Zoren asked and I couldn't believe how much alcohol he drank again. I frowned and grabbed him and help him balance himself.

"Geeez! Zoren, you never change!" I complain and tried my best to help him walk downstairs. He managed to get up but to go down, absolutely not, he barely could move his feet anymore.

‘What a lucky day!’

After taking Zoren home, I went back to my car immediately, and I was glad that Loreign was not home yet, or else, we would end up arguing. How could she do this to me? She replaced me just like that.

While driving home, I remembered the girl who kissed me. And that kiss kept spinning in my head.

"Damn!" I murmured.

I couldn't believe I ruined my first kiss, I hate that woman, but then I wonder why did she do that and slapped me after? Is she insane?! I couldn't help myself but to feel anger, I couldn't just believe she slap me?! For what for? GEEZ! My curiosity was killing me.
