Her Greatest Seduction

Unattentive

Chapter 4

"Does Luke know I was your first?"

That asshole! Bakit kailangan pa niyang ipalandakan na siya ang nakauna sa akin? Eh ano ngayon?

"I can't. Tell Luke I was your first. You can't continue your relationship with him because you already betrayed him."

Naikuyom ko ang palad ko. Yung Blue na yun. Gusto niyang ipahamak ang relationship ko kay Luke. Damn that man! Pero nakakainis dahil may point siya doon!

"We were drunk but we knew what we were doing. Pareho tayong high tolerance sa alcohol lalong-lalo na sa hard liquor."

Oo na. Alam na nga namin yung ginagawa namin. Pero wag niya naman ipalandakan talaga na alam namin yung ginagawa namin. It so uncomfortable for me.

"We both liked it—no, liked is just an understatement. Let me rephrase it. We both loved it. And you didn't think twice when you gave yourself to me."

Liked? Loved? That's very absurd. Bakit ba lagi na lang siyang tama? Nakakainis dahil paulit-ulit nagpe-play sa isip ko ang mga sinabi niya. Ang daya niya. Ang daya-daya!

"Lilac. Agent Lilac! Agent Lilac, are you listening?!"

Bigla akong napakurap-kurap when Luke and Chief Alfred snapped their fingers in front of me. "H-Ha?" Napatingin ako sa kanila, nagtataka.

"You're spacing out, Lilac. We'll explaining everything." Seryoso at galit na sabi ni Luke habang si Chief ay sapo-sapo ang ulo.

Napakagat-labi ako tsaka napatingin ako sa mga katabi ko. Nandito ang lahat ng mga leaders ng bawat team at nakatingin silang lahat sa akin. Tumingin ako kina Luke at Chief na nasa harapan ko. "Uh... what is it again?" Di ko sigurado na tanong.

Luke gave me a suspicious look but he continue going on the discussion. He gave me a look na 'mag-uusap tayo mamaya'. Nakinig naman ako. "As I was saying, we chose the 10 best leaders to have training in one of the best secret spy agencies named Night Raid. They will be going to choose the best secret field agent to be the Head Chief of their agency. You'll be going to study different things about being a true undercover secret intelligence agent; will going to have a lot of training; and also the preliminary exams."

Tumabi si Chief Alfred kay Luke at may dala itong isang papel. He waved it to us. "I have the list of the best 10 best leaders who are lucky to have a training camp at Night Raid." Then binasa niya yung nasa papel. "And of course, our top one of the best leaders is no other than Agent Lilac." Hindi na ako nagulat sa sinabi niya. Narinig ko na nagpalakpakan ang lahat ng nandito sa conference room. Napatigil sila nang nag-motion si Chief na tumahimik. He cleared his throat. "And of course the next to that is Agent Chan and...." And then binanggit na niya yung iba pang walo na kasama. At nabanggit din doon si Agent Tribe s***h Adrian.

Nagkatinginan kami ni Kristian at sinamaan niya ako ng tingin. I just rolled my eyes on him. Ano na namang problema ng masungit na yun?

"The 10 lucky secret intelligence agent will be starting their training the day after tomorrow. Bring your own necessities and you all we're going to have a camp near their company."

"You are mine. I was your first. Kaya dapat sa akin ka lang."

"You have luscious lips, do you know that?"

"You see? You like it, don't you?"

"You. I. Want. You."

Bigla akong natigilan and kinilabutan at the same time. Nahigit ko ang hininga nang umalingawngaw yun sa isip ko. Kinagat ko ang labi ko. Damn that Blue! Paulit-ulit na umuulit ang mga salita niya sa isip ko. Simula nang mangyari yung gabing yun, hindi na mawala sa isip ko ang mga sinabi niya sa akin. Lagi na lang ako kinikilabutan sa tuwing pumapasok yun sa isip ko. Hindi ko rin siya mawaglit sa isip ko.

My body started to heat that I don't even know. Ngayon ko lang naramdaman ito. At pakiramdam ko ay nararamdaman ko pa rin yung mga haplos ni Blue sa kung saan niya ako hinaplusan. Napailing-iling ako. Tama na, Violet. Stop thinking about him!

"Their main headquarters is at the secluded, isolated place."

But I can't stop it kung siya na lang lagi ang iniisip ko. I bit my lip again. Parang tina-traydor ko si Luke. Imbes na siya ang isipin ko, si Blue mismo ang kumukulong dito sa isip ko. I hate this kind of feeling.

"We'll be expecting your amazing skills. I hope all the training you've been through with us, will be a lesson for your next training lessons once you get there in Night Raid's main place. Okay, the meeting is adjourned. Agent Lilac, don't go and we're going to talk to you."

And how come na naging colleague ni Luke si Blue? Bakit wala man lang naikwe-kwento ang boyfriend ko na yun? But despite of this, bakit ang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko habang iniisip yung mga sinasabi niya at pati ang mukha niya.

"Hey, Violet! Violet? Hey!"

"Lucas, is Violet alright? Kanina pa siya nakatulala?"

I really hate this feeling. Naiirita na ako. Hindi dapat siya ang iniisip ko. Mali ito. Maling-mali. Hindi talaga to tama...

"VIOLET!"

I snapped back at napatingin kay Luke at Chief Alfred na parehong nakatingin sa akin. "H-Ha? You were saying, guys?" Napatingin ako sa paligid ko. Huh? Wala na yung ibang mga leaders? Tiningnan ko sila. "N-Nasaan na sila?" I asked, confused.

Tinaasan nila akong kilay. "Seriously, Violet?" Di makapaniwalang tanong sa akin ni Luke. "Hindi ka talaga nakikinig mula kanina? What the f**k!"

I flinched. Hindi ba ako nakikinig?

Tinitigan ko sila. Luke gave me an annoying look while Chief was giving me a disapproving look. "Don't give me that look, Violet Lorraine Peralta. Kanina ka pa hindi nakikinig sa amin. Lagi kang nakatulala." Naiiritang sabi ni Luke.

"Indeed. Ano bang iniisip mo, Violet? This past few days lagi na lang tulala. Kailan ba nag-start? Ah, yeah, after ng mangyari ang observation mission, doon ka nagsimulang tulala. Tell us, Violet. Anong nangyari doon sa mission mo?"

I was caught off guard at Chief's statement. I instantly cleared my throat. Kailangan makaisip agad ako ng palusot. Baka mabanggit pa nila si Blue. I awkwardly laughed. "Ahehehe. Wala yun, guys. I was just thinking about my bestfriend, Shyra. Malapit na kasi siyang ikasal and so I was thinking, ano ang pwede kong mairegalo sa kanya. Hahaha." Napa-cross finger tuloy ako nang wala sa oras. Sana kumagat sila. Kilala ni Luke si Shyra and he knows that malapit na din itong ikasal. Sana kumagat talaga sila. I'll be dead if they are not.

"Okay." Napahinga ako ng maluwag nang sabihin yun ni Luke. Good thing may naisip akong palusot. Napatango tango na rin si Chief. Tumayo na ako. "Violet," napatingin ako kay Luke nang nauna na si Chief lumabas. Hinintay ko siyang magsalita. "If you haven't heard, kasama ka na magte-training as a Head Chief ng Night Raid." Pagkasabi niya yun, umalis na siya.

Mas lalo akong nakahinga ng maluwag. Akala ko magtatanong pa ulit si Luke na baka di siya kuntento sa sagot ko kanina. I knew that he was looking at me suspiciously. But he chose not to ask me anymore. Mas mabuti na yun kaysa malaman niyo kung sino ba talaga ang iniisip ko.

Then Blue's face appeared in my vision. "Argh!" I hit my head. Bakit ba lagi kang pumapasok sa isip ko? "I hate you! Damn it!"

Lumabas na ako sa conference room. Matulungan na nga lang ang mga Research Team para mabaling naman ang atensyon ko sa ibang bagay hindi doon sa Blue na yun. He was very sinful made for every girl's t**s. Dammit!
