"Is that the name of your boyfriend?" he asked in a scary tone.
GOSH! He looks so hot and at the same time...frightening! Nasabi ni Stacey sa sarili niya.
She unconsciously encircled her throat with her right hand. The way he is looking at her sends sexual excitement and gives her the creeps too. He is leering at her and his eyes have a certain glint in them.
"Go away...." mahinang sabi niya.
He let out a sneering smile as he looks at her thighs slowly up her breasts.
"You look ravishing honey...but I don't like the thought of other men seeing you wearing something like that...." he said through gritted teeth as his eyes met hers.
Stacey seemed to know instinctively what he is thinking .She is positive that he is furious and very jealous. She tried to close the door but he pushed it with his broad shoulder.
Napaatras siya while still holding her throat.
"Oh no honey..." he hissed as he closed the door firmly behind him.
Ngayon siya nagsisisi kung bakit ginalit niya ito sa telepono. She forgot that he is Nick Alcantara.
"Please, umalis ka na. I'm sorry sa mga sinabi ko kanina." she said her voice trembling a little. Nawala na ang tama ng alak dahil sa takot. His presence dominates Eve's small space. He is oozing with sex appeal and she is more afraid of her body's reaction to him than his anger towards her. Paatras siyang pumunta sa gitna ng sala habang dahan-dahan itong lumalapit sa kanya.
He shook his head, "Sorry will not suffice for what you have put me through today." sabi nito.
She almost closed her eyes in frustration when she felt the cold wall behind her.
Nick's lips are now formed in a thin line. He stopped walking towards her. Their faces and bodies are very close. She tried to keep her eyes open as he leaned forward towards her. His hands are on the wall.
She feels trapped.
"Nowhere to go honey..." he flashed a smile which doesn't reach his eyes.
"Please.." she whispered.
"Please? Please what?" he whispered back. Nakayuko ito para salubungin ang mga mata niya while medyo nakatingala naman siya. His lips are almost touching hers. Hinapit siya nito sa bewang to bring her even closer to his hard body.
She tried to look away but he removed his hand on the wall to encircle her throat.
"Let me go." she said. She closed her eyes when she heard how small her voice sounded.
His warm and pleasant breath fans her face which she finds arousing. Being this close to him gives her an intense sexual desire which she doesn't really welcome.
He just wants my body. If I will let him fuck me once, he will leave me alone! She thought.
Biglang bumangon ang inis niya ng maisip niya yun. She can't explain it..deep inside maybe she wants more than one fuck with Nick Alcantara.
" I am afraid I can't do that honey.." he said throatily.
She opened her eyes. The way he said that made his voice seems familiar. Her eyes widened when he suddenly kissed her.
"Mmmmpppp.." she tried to push him but of course she wasn't even able to budge him even just a little.
Lalo nitong nilaliman ang halik sa kanya. He coaxed her lips to separate so his tongue can penetrate her mouth. Hindi na namalayan ni Stacey that she had stopped protesting. She now has one of her hands on his shoulder and the other one on his arm. Nick smiled as he kisses her when she started responding. Nakipaglabanan na din ang dila nito. His tongue swirled around hers. They were so caught up in their passionate kiss that they didn't hear a door opened.
"STACEY!" someone gasped.
She tore her lips from Nick's and stared wide-eyed at Eve who looks really shocked.
Nick slowly turned his head at Eve's direction .He removed his right hand from her neck but not his arm around her waist. He looks annoyed. His eyes are molten with his desire for Stacey.
When Eve saw Nick's face, she did a double take.
Stacey almost groaned dahil alam niya that Nick always gets this reaction from women. Gustong-gusto na niya itong tuhuran when she saw him flashed his panty-wrecking smile at her friend. He straightened and let go of her. She has a pretty good idea na super affected ang kaibigan niya when she saw how Eve’s cheeks turned pink.
"S-Sorry." sabi nito as she looks uncomfortable for seeing them kissing a moment ago.
She looked at her na para bang nagtatanong. Stacey almost rolled her eyes.
"No.I have to apologize .It's all my fault. By the way I am Nick Alcantara." nakangiti nitong inilahad ang kamay kay Eve.
Tila nahihiya pang iniabot ni Eve ang kamay sa binata.
"Hello. I'm Eve." she said awkwardly.
"Eve.." he said her name in a way na kahit sinong babae kikiligin.
"Nice name..it suits you. You are beautiful just like Adam's Eve." pilyong sabi nito.
Lalong namula ang pisngi ng dalaga. This time Stacey rolled her eyes.
Naisip niya na sinasagad talaga ng babaero niyang boss ang pagiging palikero. As if naman kailangan pa nito ang mga ganung dialogue. Sa mukha at katawan pa lang pamatay na. Wala eh. PNMK nga!
"He's my boss." sabat niya before moving away from him.
Nakakaisang hakbang pa lang siya when Nick said, "Change your clothes before we leave... not unless you want me to smack every man who will look at you. Hihintayin ka namin ni Eve dito."he said nonchalantly.
Nagpigil siya na sumagot pa. Ayaw na niyang mas dumami ang ieexplain niya sa kaibigan.
Mananagot talaga sa akin mamaya ang bwisit na lalaking to! She promised herself. Ang kapal kasi ng mukha na sabihin yun sa harapan ng kaibigan niya. Feeling dyowa niya!
She sulkily walked inside Eve's room without looking at them.
How dare he give Eve the impression na may relasyon kami? Ang sarap ipabugbog sa limang sumo wrestler ang mayabang na babaerong to! Tignan ko lang if may maipagmamalaki pa siya pag warak na ang mukha niya! Ngitngit ni Stacey habang nagpapalit ng damit.
She carefully folded Eve's clothes bago inilagay sa laundry basket before going out of the bedroom.
Natigilan siya paglabas niya.
The two of them are in the kitchen. They are talking and laughing like old friends.
May hawak na can of beer si Nick at nakatingin naman si Eve dito while chatting away. Napailing na lang siya nang maisip na ibang klase talaga ang gayuma ng boss niya. Pati kaibigan niya seems to have been taken by him in a span of minutes. She looks almost smitten. Kanina lang halos lupaypay na to sa kalasingan. Mukhang sober na ngayon dahil kaharap ang mayabang niyang boss. Daig pa ni Nick ang black coffee kung magtanggal ng kalasingan! Kinastigo niya bigla ang sarili. Daig pa niya ang nagseselos na nobya. Hindi pa din siya napapansin ng mga ito. So ginawa niya,umatras siya ulit near the door of Eve's bedroom . Dahan-dahan niya itong binuksan bago medyo pabagsak na isinara ulit.
That caught her friend's attention. "Girlfriend!" masiglang tawag nito as she walks towards her.
Cool na cool naman na inubos muna ni Nick ang beer na hawak before turning around to look at her. May pilyong ngiti sa mga labi nito.
"Nangiimbita si Nick na lumabas daw tayong tatlo minsan." she smiled.
Tumango lang si Stacey.
"Grabeng yummy naman pala ng boss mo! Kaya naman pala napaka-secretive mo! " bulong nito na nakangiti pa din.
"Are you ready to go?" tanong ni Nick habang palapit sa kanila.
"Yes." tipid na sagot niya without looking at him.
"Next time Eve ,sa condo ko na malapit dito tayo mag-inuman. It will be more fun kesa sa kayo lang dalawa." he suggested as he smiles at Eve.
"We'd love to!" tuwang sabi ng kaibigan.
Marahil dahil sa naiinis na naman siya, Stacey intentionally said while getting her bag on the kitchen table ,"Actually kasama namin si Blake kanina. Umalis lang sandali."
She slid her phone inside her bag bago siya lumingon sa dalawa. Eve is frowning slightly habang nakatingin kay Nick.
Stacey bit her bottom lip when she met his stare. Parang gustong niyang bawiin ang sinabi. When she mentioned Blake's name, his aura became dark again. He looks menacing. Nawala na ang magandang mood nito kani-kanina lang.
"Nice meeting you Eve." he said to Eve without breaking eye contact with Stacey. And in a chilly voice he told her, " I will wait for you in my car."
"Grabe girlfriend!! " kilig na sabi ni Eve.
"Siya ba ang dahilan kaya iba na ang dating mo ngayon? Oh my ! The way he looks at you......" sabay tili nito bago siya niyakap ng wala na si Nick.
"Eve!" saway niya.Nabibingi siya sa boses nito.
She released her. "May LQ kayo kanina kaya ka nag-ayang uminom no?" tukso nito.
Stacey just shook her head ."It's not what it seems despite of what you saw. Next time ko na lang ipapaliwanag. Thanks ha? Okay ka din no? Nawala ang pagkalasing mo nakita mo lang ang boss ko." natawang sabi niya bago lumakad papunta sa pintuan.
"Lumuwag nga yata ang garter ng bra at panty ko girlfriend! Ibang klase ang boss slash dyowa mo!" she joked.
"WHATEVER!" inis na sabi niya before closing the door with a thud.
***
She saw him outside his car. Nakasandal ito sa isang puting BMW M6 Gran Coupé. He has a brooding expression.
He straightened when he saw her. Binuksan nito ang passenger side.
" I have my car so hindi ko kailangang sumabay sayo."she said.
"Get inside! Mag-uusap tayo! Babalikan na lang natin mamaya ang kotse mo." he ordered.
Sa tono nito mukhang hindi ito papayag na hindi siya sumama so sumakay na lang siya.
He buckled her up then stepped on the accelerator.
"Saan ba tayo pupunta? I hope sandali lang tayo .Gusto ko ng umuwi." inis na sabi niya.
He didn't answer. Tila nag-coconcentrate ito sa daan.
She just sulked. Ayaw naman niyang magmukhang tanga na nagsasalita na parang walang kausap.
They drove for about fifteen minutes in silence.
Kumunot ang noo ni Stacey when they entered a basement parking of a tall building.
"Where are we?" she asked.
Nick just threw her a glance. "In one of my condo units." he said.
"WHAT??!" she shrieked."Akala ko mag-uusap tayo?"
Without looking at her he said, " By the looks of it, hindi lang usap ang kailangan natin."
