Novel & Cerita Chef's Kiss

Hindi siya isang Chef pero masarap din siya magluto at specialty niya ang pastry kahit hindi siya mahilig sa matamis. Sa isiping matamis, napatingin siya sa kabilang bahagi kung saan may nagbi-bake at bigla na lang pumasok sa kaniyang isipan si Gheron na nakangiti at lantakan kinakain ang cookies sa harapan niya. Natawa siya ng wala sa oras sa mga sandaling iyon at may ibang napalingon sa kaniya kaya agad siyang nagtikom ng bibig at nagkunwaring walang pakialam sa mga ginagawa ng mga ito.

“Beef morcon and garlic fried rice are up too.” Umupo ako sa isang bar stool malapit sa kitchen at, suot ang kaswal kong ekspresyon, pinanood ko ang mala-chef de cuisine moment ni Cassian. Ang tikas-tikas pa rin niya kahit nagluluto lang. Nakakabit pa rin sa kanya ang mighty politician’s aura ngunit sa kabilang banda’y hot pa rin siyang tignan. “I hate garlic…” Wala sa sarili kong anunsyo.

Unbelievable! That was fucking bullshit! He kissed millions of women and she dared to underestimate his expertise? How stupid! He caresses his lips without even realizing it. How dare his maid said that? And what was worse was he liked the taste of Emena's sweet lips. It was candied. Very fine. Jesus! Padabog niyang kinuha ang cellphone niya na nakalagay sa counter. And he started googling... How to be a good kisser? How to be an expert in kissing?

“Unfortunately, the island became less patient… Now it’s a kiss.” Nalaglag ang sikmura ko. “A kiss?” “Ten seconds.” “A TEN SECOND KISS?” Halos lumuwa ang mga mata ko. Ngumiti ang host. “After the kiss, the chosen heir is considered claimed for the rest of the night.” Kaya pala may ilang babae sa baba ng stage na ang sama ng tingin sa akin. “At dahil isa itong Lust Estate tradition…” ngumisi ang host. “…a boring kiss is highly discouraged.”

our head chef said as I entered the employees' entrance. "Bonjour Monsieur," bati ko naman. Nagtanguan lang kami I quickly stuffed my backpack into my locker. I then went to the employee restroom and changed into my chef coat, red apron, and black-striped work pants. Pinasadahan ko lang ng kamay ko ang buhok ko dahil chin-length bob ang hairstyle ko, mabilis lang ayusin. I put on a hairnet and then my chef hat. "This is for order 107," Alexander, an English-French decent, winks at me as he hands me the order slip. "Braised herbed lamb with brandy flambéed apricots and mint dressing mesculin salad."

Nangangamba kasi siyang mapahiya lang siya. Ang tinanong na lang tuloy niya, "Anong pagkakaiba ng french kiss sa passionate kiss?" Nagtatakang tanong niya. Sa pagsasaliksik niya'y pareho lang naman silang nag-espadahan ng dila. "Sa ngayon french kiss pa lang ang maituturo ko sa'yo," wika ni Luigi. Kumunot ang kanyang noo. "Bakit naman?"

I murmured in between his kisses. I thought he'll stop but he didn't. Naramdaman ko na lang na humigpit ang pagkakahawak niya sa baywang ko. I smirked again. I don't know how to kiss but I followed his movements. "Namnamin mo. This won't happen again. You are kissing Chloe Lorin Navrus right now, Mr. Zale Villanueva," I murmured while kissing him back.

Biglang tumango si Chloe at napabulalas, "Oo!" Ang sopas ay natatakpan ng makapal na cheese puff pastry, na mukhang isang kaibig-ibig na kabute. Gayunpaman, si Chloe ay nag-aalangan sa paghukay habang hawak ang kutsara. "Daddy, paano ako kakain nito?" tanong ni Chloe.

Taas kilay niyang tanong sabay pakita sa akin nung phone niya. It was that night when we were all drunk. On her screen was me and Joshua... "Josh and Steff, sitting by the bench. K-I-S-S-I-N-G." she teasingly sang. Muli kong tinakpan 'yung bibig niya tsaka siya siniko. "I was drunk, okay!" Depensa ko pero mukhang walang salitang tatalab sa matigas na ulo ng isang Natasha Perez. "Girl, boyfriend mo siya. It's normal to kiss." Aniya habang aktong kinikilig.

"Remember when we first kissed? What I did was peck on the lips kiss. It is the simplest way to kiss a partner. It is the simplest form of showing affection. You just simply touch your partners’ lips with your own and then during a peck, the lips of both partners are usually closed and slightly puckered. This a great way to have a first kiss with someone you like or are going out with as it is intimate enough but also not as intense as making out with them. There is also no way you can go wrong with it, as it doesn’t need any technique or practice." Napatango nalang ako. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat sabihin sa mga naririnig ko sa kaniya. Sigurado ako, malawak na ang kaalaman nito sa gani
