Naikuyom ko ang palad matapos marinig iyon. Ibinaba ko ang tingin sa simento at nag-imagine na pinupukpok iyon ng maso. Hindi ko gusto ang paraan niya para lang hindi ako saktan ng mga estudyante rito. I can handle bullies on my own. He don't need to intervene! Ngayon, alam na ng lahat na may relasyon kami. Hindi ito ang nasa plano ko!
A girl moved beside Rain. "Stop bullshitting around, Blake. We all knew it's just for show!"
Naramdaman ko ang mainit na palad ni Blake sa kamao ko. Unti-unti niyang binubuksan iyon para mahawakan ang kamay ko nang maayos. And guess what? I let him do that. He enterlocks our fingers, leaving no space in between.
"She. Is. My. Girlfriend." he emphasized. "Which part didn't you understand, Trixie?"
Rain chuckled. Hindi naniniwala sa narinig. "Really? Then why don't we ask Alora about it? Right, Alora?" Ang huling tanong ay napunta sa akin.
Umiinit ang kalamnan ko sa paraan ng pagtingin niya. Mapanghamon ito. Magi
Marahan kong binuksan ang pinto habang sinisilip kung nadyan pa ba siya sa labas. Nang makita kong walang bakas ng presensya niya, saka ako lumabas ng banyo. Di gaya kanina, may kaunting linawag ng araw nang pumapasok dito sa kwarto. Maliit lang naman ang siwang ng kurtina sa malaking bintana. Humigpit ang hawak ko sa buhol ng tuwalya habang papalapit sa damit na nakahandusay sa kama. His king size bed is now looking neat and clean. The navy black bedsheet gives contrast to the white pillows and comforter. Iyon nga lang, nakapagpagulo lang sa hitsura nito ang mga damit na hinanda ni Calter. Inangat ko ang white cotton t-shirt with words printed on the chest part says Givenchy Paris. Sunod ay ang black jogger pants. Oversized ang pang-itaas at sobrang haba naman ng pang-ibaba. Napangiwi tuloy ako nang maisip na magmumukha akong manang sa ganitong ayos. Then I suddenly paused, questions to myself immediately followed. Why am I here? Why am I doing all of these? Tama pa ba ang m
Nababaliw na yata siya. Minsan hindi ko talaga mahulaan kung anong tumatakbo sa isipan niya. He's laughing genuinely that I'd never seen before. Yes, he chuckle sometimes but that was full of sarcasm and insult. This one looks genuine, and it's confusing! He stopped laughing when he saw me frowning, flustered by his sudden reaction. He cleared his throat to remove the laughter from his system. His face was back to serious again and I felt a strange feeling of sadness out of it. I would sound like a different person if I say this but... I kinda miss the view of his complete set of teeth. I felt so mesmerized by his wide smile. The deep sound of his laugh keeps on repeating in my head like a broken stereo. I shook that thought off of my head. Ano ba 'tong naiisip ko! "What?" he questioned as he noticed me staring at him. Balik na ito sa pagkaseryoso at pagsisinuplado. Darn this bipolar bastard! I breathed in. "Since you
"Our society is ruled by money. You can't expect anyone even the authorities to honor their credibility and integrity. They are willing to lick your shoes if you are a cruel puissant one."That statement left a remark in my head. Mr. Scott at the other end of the table remain compose as he shower us his own beliefs about society."She wasted a kill. That boy was not even a friend of the target," Mr. Morgage scorned.I rolled my eyes at him. Bumaling ako kay Jinx na tuwid ang upo at matigas ang ekspresyon. Patungkol sa kaso niya ang usapan ngayon at minabuti na lang niyang manahimik dahil alam niya ang pagkakamali."Her case is clear now. The cops obliged to me," Mr. Scott replied.The truth about society is now finally revealed. People says no one is above law when in fact it's just a bluff. Maybe no one really is above law. People can't surpass the law. However, money can."No more impulsive move this time. You all need to work smart!" Mr. Morgage said.The tension in this conference
"Suotin mo 'to Alora. Mas bagay 'to d'yan sa suot mo." Inismiran ko si Megan habang hawak nito ang kwintas na may malalaking diamonds. The elegant and exquisite jewelry hanging on her fingers is too much for me. My heirloom necklace is fine. I'm afraid that the necklace she's offering would cover almost all of my chest part. "Formal event ang pupuntahan natin, hindi pageant. Isa pa, takaw sa mata 'yan. We're going to keep ourselves lowkey there." Pa-irap na pag-tutol ni Jinx. Muli akong humarap sa full size mirror at pinagmasdan ang kabuohan ko. I'm wearing a red sweetheart long dress with high slit on the left leg part. Alice prepared all of our outfit for tonight. My stilettos are red too, even my lips. My hair is curled perfectly giving me more mature and seductive look. I'm not preparing to be the old man's mistress tonight. That auction party is probably filled with seniors. "You look stunningly gorgeous," Al
It was just a quick call. That's it. She ended it without even waiting for my reply. Tumakbo na ako papunta sa elevator at habang nasa loob, a banging sound bounced against the metallic walls of this lift. The sound came from the third floor, I'm sure. Ano nang nangyayari roon? A cold sweat fell down on my temple and I quickly wiped it away using the back of my hand. My grip tightened to the gun. There's no room for quitters. Pagbukas ng elevator, tumambad sa akin ang tahimik at walang katao taong palapag. The intricate design on the walls and the warm lights, they are so elegant in my eyes. This french hotel earned 5 stars and here we are, making a huge scandal on top of it's name. Tumakbo na ako papunta sa gitnang pasilyo. Sunod-sunod lang naman ang bilang ng mga kuwarto kaya madali lang matunton ang room 201. Sa pagliko ko sa isang pasilyo, may lalaking naglalakad papasalubong sa akin. He's in his mid 40's and wearing a
"C'mon Alora. Let's dance," bulong ni Megan sa akin. Nagpatianod naman ako sa hila niya hangggang sa makarating kami sa dance floor. Kumpleto kaming apat. Kahit si Alice, nakikisabay na rin sa indak ng musika. Hindi ko naman ginustong um-attend sa Holloween Party na ito. Sinabi lang nilang tatlo na may plano silang gawin ngayon. Plano nilang pumuslit sa principal's office at kunin ang records ni Calter doon. Hindi ko alam kung para saan iyon. Kung anong magagawa ng records na iyon sa pag-usad ng mission. Aalamin ba nila ang address ni Calter? Kung ganoon lang rin pala, sa akin na lang sana sila nagtanong. "Wag kang dumikit sa'kin!" Reklamo ko kay Jinx. Puti ang kulay ng costume ko. Ayaw kong mabahiran ng body paint mula sa kaniya. Kinulayan pa kasi nito ang balat ng kulay blue. Sabi niya, epektibo raw iyon para mas lalong hindi siya makilala. Si Jinx ang nagmake up sa aming lahat. She intentionally disguise us using mak
My heart started knocking against my ribs. Hindi ko alam kung ano nang susunod kong gagawin. I don't like dancing, especially sweet dances. He's offering his hand for me to hold. He's waiting for me to accept it! "I'm not good at it--" "Me too." Agap niya. "Kung ganoon pala edi huwag na lang." He chuckled. Humakbang pa siya papalapit at kusa nang inabot ang kaliwang kamay ko. He intertwined his fingers with mine and his other hand reached for my waist. Pigil hininga akong nagpatianod sa kaniyang hawak. Mababaw ang lapat ng kaniyang palad sa baywang ko at habang tumutugtog ang mabagal na musika, sinimulan niyang isabay ang katawan ko sa mabagal na pagsayaw. Kasabay ng malalim na paghinga ko, naamoy ko ang aroma ng kaniyang pabango. Masarap sa ilong. It was the same scent I smelled the day we had encountered each other at the auction party. I moved my chest slightly away from him. Bukod sa ayaw kong maramd
He saved me from those gunmen when I was attacked while driving in Antipolo. He saved me from drowning when we jumped to a waterfall in the middle of the woods. He was the reason why I got out of that place and mended in the hospital with his personal butler looking after me.I wiped away the fresh tear fell down on my cheek. Sinikap kong huwag gumawa ng ingay kahit na nabibigatan ako sa nararamdaman habang tinititigan siya.Hindi dapat ako ganito. Starting from the very beginning, I am destined to kill him. Kill his family and get all of their possessions. Iyon na ang plano simula pa lang noong una, kaya bakit nagkakaganito ako ngayon?Ilang pag-iling pa ang ginawa ko. Hindi ko dapat nararamdaman ito. I should be happy and celebrating by now because finally, we captured him. Nadala namin siya dito sa headquarter at kalaunan ay pupunta ang mga magulang niya para sunduin siya."We will use him as bait," Uncle Greg said at the conference room when we had a meeting 4 hours ago.Pasado ala
