“So nothing happened with your prince charming and now you are seducing another man. What a flirt! “
These are the words that greeted Trisha as the elevator door closed. Jade was alone inside when it opened and Trisha don’t have the choice or the time to wait for the next one.
She took a breath and pretended she doesn’t hear the taunt.
She heard Jade laughed mockingly.
“Play the innocent with me but everyone knows what you really are. “
She remembered the scandal. And what everyone still thinks about her.
She clenched her hand to channel the irritation. Ayaw niya itong patulan dahil tiyak na mas lalo lamang siya nitong iinisin.
“Sabi ko na nga ba kahit sinong lalaki will give up on you.”
Jade leaned over and whispered to her ear. “Others will always be better… “
Trisha tried to ignore it but the last words certainly hit the mark. It triggered her insecurit
“Oh bakit wala ata ang mga boys?” tanong ni Chloe nang dumating ito sa apartment ni Trisha for their Friday night sleep over.“Eh pa’no itong bruha ang gusto palang panuorin ay Friends with Benefit siyempre ‘yong mga lalaki nagmovie marathon sa bahay nila Brix,” ani Abby na nakaupo na sa sala sa harapan ng TV.“Diba ang sabi ko trending eh diba ito ang pinagkakaguluhan ng mga hindi pa married na katulad natin…Diyos ko lagyan naman natin ng spice ang love life natin.”“Eh bakit may bestfriend ka bang pwede?” tanong naman ni Abby kay Jay.“Hindi ba pwedeng maghanap, ang dami-daming gwapo d’yan tiyak na may papatol sa sister mo noh,” sabay pa beautiful eyes dito.Natawa na lamang ito ipinagpatuloy ang pagkain ng popcorn.“Oy Abby baka naman wala ng matira para mamaya, hindi pa nga tayo nagsisimula malapit ng maubos,” natatawang paninita ni Joyce nan
Marsden was drinking alone in a sophisticated bar where he visited because of its exclusiveness. It’s only catering big businessmen where they can relax after a long busy day. A necessary comfort with its expensive membership price.There’s a jazz song playing in the background and it helped to calm Marsden ‘s mind and emotions. He drank his brandy and closed his eyes when the memory of Trisha and Ash played before him.He can’t stopped the sudden irritation pricking his temper. A temper he can’t hold on especially that time he saw them embracing. He wanted to rip him off her and punched him on his annoying face. Has their relationship gone that far already? Ang bilis naman ata.He wanted to talk to Trisha and clear things up. He wanted to bring back the friendship they had. Yet when he arrived he saw Ash’s car parked in front of the gate so he stopped at the crossing and wait fo
I should stop. It must be stopped before it burned me. Marsden knew he needed to stop. But he’s already burning and his mind failed to stop his hands from exploring. Her skin was so smooth and warm soothing every tensing muscles on his hands. When he saw her wearing his shirt he was glad. A sense of posession engulfed him but when she came in the light and he noticed how the front of the shirt embraced her perfectly molded breast it killed him. He can’t look at her without noticing the peak winking at him for a taste. He felt like a pervert. Like a teen who cannot control his urges. He was already a man and has stronger will yet he can’t think straight and tell her what he planned to say with her tempting him to destruction. After saying what he wanted to say, he was happy to know that she doesn’t care much for Ash because she wasn’t that affected with the truth. Yet suddenly s
Trisha haven’t sleep a whit. All night she kept reliving the intimacies they shared. Making her giddy of the things to come. She’s nervous and a little bit afraid to play this kind of relationship. No label which means they’re not going to be boyfriends-girlfriends. She doesn’t have a hold on him, yet her heart was game for she would rather have it than nothing at all. She wanted exclusivity which give her doubts how could she keep Marsden only to herself. Funny really because Marsden haven’t accepted her proposal…yet! She’s an innocent to this kind of game, she’s not even good at flirting for God’s sake but she won’t give up. And besides, the memory of his hungry stares and of him almost losing control encouraged her to dicisively continue this madness and convince him to act on this attraction because not doing so may truly make her mad for real, she like him that much. But right now as a new day comes, she ne
Days passed and Trisha and Marsden renewed their friendship. Eating together at breakfast and sometimes at dinner. But one thing that change is that he never sleepover anymore. Even when the rain never stop pouring, he always had reasons to go. Sometimes it makes Trisha laugh to think he was afraid that she would lose into temptation and ravish him at night. But then, reality also makes her sad that even though their friendship was returned, he was still careful and maybe just trying to spare her feelings…he might not have directly told her to stop but she felt how much he avoided her failed flirtations. It was not easy really, because Trisha don’t know how to flirt. With her previous relationships, she wasn’t actually into flirting, was not motivated or doesn’t have the chance or maybe theirs were different with how she felt with Marsden. However, she is quiet enjoying it. Everytime he looked at her in a way that to
“God! She’s killing me!” Marsden whispered to himself when he got inside his car. It’s getting harder to control himself around her. He wanted to give in, he wanted to feel her, embraced her, wrapped himself with her heat. But his mind, the one who keeps on reminding him of his promise not to let his heart rule again over his head, waking him like a drench of cold water. He snorted with the thought that she wanted to learn flirting. She’s already a killer and he’s not sure if he can survive the next time. He tried to keep it cool, everytime this crazy attraction pulls him like a magnet and every day gets harder and harder to resist. Tomorrow, he should tell Trisha to stop what she feels because he doesn’t feel the same, such a big lie. He should stop this and if being far from her is the only solution then he had no other choice. ‘*** “Teka, ang aga pa ata nangangapitbahay ka na?” aniya
“Mag-oovertime ako ngayon, I have a deadline which I think, is impossible to meet.” Kausap ni Trisha sa cellphone si Rudy nang tumawag ito habang papasok siya ng rest room sa kanilang floor. “I already explained it to her, pero hindi siya nakikinig and after the meeting she just left. I’m so sorry Ruds, pati ikaw nadadamay sa mga kalokohan ko.” “Ano ka ba, sumabay ka na sa boyfriend mo…ako na ang bahala sa sarili ko at tsaka minsan lang nga kayo magkatime, aayaw ka pa.” After assuring him she’s okay kahit na hindi siya masusundo nito mamaya, in.off na niya ang cellphone at ibinulsa sa kanyang blazer. Habang naghuhugas ng kamay, naisip ni Trisha ang meeting kanina. Thankfully, hindi siya late dahil every detail ng meeting ay importante. To start, Chelsea was having an indefinite leave. Unfortunately, as Chelsea is leaving, the staff are required to finish monthly reports this week and other necesarry reports for their new boss. Trisha handles four large branches and it’s defin
“We should terminate the contract to avoid being caught up with his illegal deeds,” Marsden said in anger. “But sir–“ “Your department is the one whose responsibility is to check the credibility of the people we get into contract with. How come, that this problem is here now taunting our patience.” He looked at their eyes one by one. “Don’t make me caught you receiving commissions from our clientele just for their papers to pass the screening.” They just looked down and received his scolding. This is a serious matter. These men are in the company even when his grandfather was still the chairman. He trusted their loyalties but someone is surely having his loyalty bought. “Sir!” bulong ni Hans sa kanya. “Nasa office mo si Trisha at Drew.” Napangiti siya nang marinig ang pangalan ni Trisha pero nagulat siya ng marinig na kasama nito si Drew. Worriedly, he excused himself at pumunta sa kanyang opisina. He saw Drew outside of his office. He was angry and worried while Drew re
