"N-Nick.." she nervously uttered.
Napaatras siya and her back felt the door of his closet. She is hugging herself as if pinoprotektahan niya ang sarili from him.
His nostrils are flaring habang palapit ito sa kanya.
"Nick....I'm sorry." tila naiiyak na sabi niya.
She knows that he is bad-tempered but iba ngayon. Alam niya na napakalaking insulto sa pagkalalaki nito ang nangyari kanina. He looks wrathful which is really scary.
"H-Hindi ko sinasadya...I am really sorry.." mahinang sabi niya as he nears her. He kicked his jeans which are on his path.
His eyes are stormy as he glares at her. Nang malapit na ito sa kanya, she just closed her eyes and ipinilig niya ang ulo sa kanan.
Naramdaman niya ang mainit na hininga nito sa side ng mukha at leeg niya. She can hear that he is breathing heavily.
Nick stares at the smooth skin of the side of her face then down her neck. She is really bewitching. She doesn't have an idea kung gaano katindi ang nararamdaman nito for her.
He wants to possess her body and soul. Now it really struck him....
I am obsessed with her! Realization slapped him on the face.
Sino ba naman ang sira-ulong pagseselosan ang sarili? He created a situation which he himself can't handle. Dahil sa kagaguhan niya nagka-leche-leche na lahat.
Kung kinilala lang nito ng mabuti ang dalaga at inamin nito sa sarili niya na una pa lang gustong-gusto na nito si Stacey, hindi sana humantong sa ganito ang lahat.
Now he is all fucked up because of this stupid mess that he himself created.
But by any means I will make her want and love me as Nick! Sumpa nito sa sarili.
He took hold of her hands and raised them above her head. He pinned them with his own .
She opened her eyes and turned to face him.
Halos magdikit na ang mukha nila.
"Sorry..." ulit na naman niya in a very small voice.
He's breathing shallowly. His mouth is set in a grim line.
"What the fuck don't you like about me?" he asked menacingly.
His breath smells of alcohol which she finds very pleasant.
Natigilan siya sa tanong nito. Ipinilig na naman niya ang ulo sa kaliwa to avoid his eyes.
"Tumingin ka sa akin!" he ordered.
Dahan-dahan niyang sinalubong ang mga mata nito.
Bago pa siya nakasagot, hinalikan siya nito sa labi. He is kissing her as if to punish her at the same time to rouse her sexual desire. Hindi makasabay ang dila niya cause he seems to want to devour her mouth whole by the way he kisses her.He is kissing her like mad. She wants to touch him but her hands are confined by his. She moaned in frustration. Nagulat siya ng biglang pinutol nito ang halik. He looked at her swollen lips while breathing raggedly.
Then his mouth which is barely opening, he asked, "Now answer me! Bakit ba ayaw mo sa akin?!"
She swallowed. Ano ba ang sasabin niya?
"Sagutin mo ang tanong ko or I swear I will do something na malamang pagsisihan ko!" galit na sabi nito.
Bigla nitong binitawan ang mga kamay niya and put a little space between them. "Go on! Tell me kung bakit ayaw na ayaw mo sa akin!"
She moistened her lips. Bago siya nagsalita she sighed heavily as she put her hands together to play with her fingers.
Nagbaba siya ng tingin.
"I want to see your eyes!" sigaw nito.
She raised them to meet his.
"I am way out of your league." she said.
He cursed. "And what the fuck do you mean by that??!"
"Don't you see? Hindi ako kagaya ng mga babae mo .Believe it or not , isa pa lang ang lalaking nakarelasyon ko sexually. "she admitted.
Gustong sabihin ni Nick na, and it will stay that way, but of course nagpigil ito.
Over his dead body na hahayaan nitong may iba pang makakarelasyon ang dalaga. He is not Nicholas Derick Alcantara for nothing. He can do very bad things pag nangyari yun and he will be unstoppable. "But you are willing to give yourself to me." kunot noong sabi nito.
He wants to hear her reason for wanting to do it with him.
Stacey closed her eyes for a moment. I think it will be better if I will tell him the truth. Sabi niya sa sarili.
Bahala na kung ano man ang outcome ng sasabihin niya. For once gusto na lang niya sigurong aminin lahat dito. She is tired of making up stories. Hindi naman niya gawain kasi ang magsinungaling kahit white lie pa yun.
"I am waiting." tila naiinip na sabi nito.
"Dahil alam kong hindi mo ako titigilan." maiksing sabi niya.
"So kahit may nobyo ka na ibibigay mo pa rin ang sarili mo sa akin?" he asked while his eyes are narrowed.
"Wala akong nobyo. Sasagutin ko pa lang si Derick. So kahit ibigay ko ang sarili ko sayo hindi ko siya pagtataksilan dahil hindi naman niya ako girlfriend pa."
He remembered that as Derick, he told her na huwag ng makikipag-date sa iba and she agreed. He even said to her that he will do something violent pag nalaman nitong nagagago na ito.
"Ano mo ba talaga ang Derick na yun? Hindi ka committed sa kanya?"
"We have a mutual understanding. I promised him that I won't go out with other men. Hindi naman kita maiiwasan kasi boss kita and basically hindi naman tayo nag-dadate. "she sighed.
"What about what we have done before? Yung mga halik and yung nangyari ngayon? Don't you think na mas malala yun? Are you planning to tell him?" he asked curtly.
"Yes." she said without blinking. "I will be honest with him kahit magalit pa siya sa akin. I am sure you know what effect you have on women. Pilit kitang iniwasan but you blackmailed me to work for you. To tell you frankly, hindi ako pwede sa gusto mo. I don't do one-night stands. What happened to Derick and me is different. It isn't how I wanted to lose my innocence. And never kong naisip na ibigay ang sarili ko kahit kanino na lang just because hindi na ako virgin. Maniwala ka man o hindi, kahit hindi ko kagustuhan, sa huli pumayag ako sa gusto niya. I am an adult anyway. Call it what you want, but since si Derick ang nakauna sa akin, if I'll have sexual urges I will choose to do it with him. Only with him .But you are very determined. Alam ko na hindi mo ako titigilan. So naisip ko wala naman ng mawawala sa akin if I let you have me once. Anyway hindi ko pa sinasagot si Derick."paliwanag niya.
Nawala ng bahagya ang galit nito but his brows creased. May babae pala na kagaya ni Stacey.She is every man's dream. Hindi lang panlabas nito ang nakakabaliw.
Where the fuck have you been all these time? Bakit ngayon lang kita nakilala? Tanong ni Nick sa sarili.
"If I am Derick I will badly hurt the asshole who will touch you." he said coldy.
"Then you admit that you are an asshole?" she asked sarcastically.
He gritted his teeth. "What if I am?" he rasped.
Stacey shrugged. "Then you deserve to be beaten up. At least makakaganti ang future boyfriend ko sayo. Dapat sa mga assholes, binibigyan ng leksiyon para tumigil na. Ang kay Juan, kay Juan." she said as her eyes sparkled.
He is speechless. Now he is more determined to make her his.
"Now that I have answered your question, pwede na ba akong umalis? Kalimutan na lang natin lahat ito. Mahal ko si Derick. Maybe unconsciously I uttered his name which pissed you para siguro hindi nga matuloy ang pagbigay ko ng sarili ko sayo. Madaming babae ang nagkakagusto sayo. Mas magaganda, mayaman at higit sa lahat, willing to play the game you want. Hindi ako yun. So if gusto mong magtrabaho pa ako sayo, spare me, sir."pakiusap niya.
"Paano kung sabihin ko na I consider you as mine already? Lalo na hindi mo pa naman pala nobyo ang Derick na yun?" biglang tanong nito.
Ramdam ni Stacey na nag-init ang mukha niya sa sinabi nito.
"You can't force me to have a relationship with you." she said defiantly.
His face became grimmer. "I will make sure that you will want me as much as I want you honey." he said confidently.
"Then dream on, sir! " inis na sabi niya as she jutted out her chin.
"Si Derick ang mahal ko at kailangan mong tanggapin yun!"
His handsome face turned red. He gripped her arm and pulled her towards him.
"What if I tell you na ako si Derick?" he asked. His tone is clipped.
