Dionne instantly sighed out of annoyance the moment she heard a knock on her hotel room door, alam niya na kung sino ang taong kumakatok and Dionne doesn’t know if she will answer the door to greet her uninvited guest or not.
In the end, Dionne chose to do the latter, padabog niyang binuksan ang pinto at ginawa pang lalong masungit ang ekspresyon ng mukha.
“I didn’t call for a room service.”
Dionne snapped, out of annoyance, she even chose to ignore the stern look on her guest’s face that greeted her.
“We need to talk.”
Seryoso ngunit bakas pa rin ang inis na sabi ni Blaze.
“I had a feeling that you were going to say that.”
Walang ganang sabi ni Dionne tapos ay matamang tinitigan si Blaze na ewan niya nga ba kung bakit nakuha pa siyang sundan sa kanyang hotel room, bakit ba naman kasi sa lahat ng hotels dito sa Tagaytay ay sa hotel pa siya na ito napunta, ayos lamang sana kung pagaari nga ng pamilya ni Blaze ang hotel na ito, iyon nga lang ay nataon naman na nandito rin ito ngayon.
Agad na napa irap si Dionne dahil sa isiping iyon, hindi naman naka lampas sa paningin ni Blaze ang kanyang ginawa dahilan para lalong dumilim ang mukha ng binata.
“Quit rolling your eyes, it’s rude.”
Saway nito sa kanya
“So? I am rude so rolling my eyes at you is rude and that is fine because I am rude.”
Pilosopong sabi ni Dionne.
“You are being unreasonable.”
“And you are annoying, ano bang kailangan mo at sumunod-sunod ka pa rito?”
Dionne finally asked annoyed.
“This is my hotel.”
Blaze pointed out.
“So? I am a customer here and I am- hold on a minute, are you trying to tell me na gusto mo akong mag check out ngayon din?”
Inis na sabi ni Dionne, agad namang nanlaki ang mga mata ng binata tapos ay mabilis at sunod-sunod na umiling.
“I don’t mean to say that. I am just trying to say that this is my hotel and I can do whatever I want-“
“And that includes barging in to YOUR hotel rooms and harasses YOUR guests?”
“No but I am trying- hell no Dionne, I am not harassing you right now, I didn’t even touched you.”
Blaze reasoned out, tinaasan naman ito ng kilay ni Dionne.
“You didn’t touched me, yet. But you intend to, right?”
Lakas loob na bintang ni Dionne sa lalaki.
“Yes, I intend to, and I want to tell you to move out of the way dahil gusto kong pumasok sa loob ng kwarto mo.”
Direktang sagot ni Blaze, agad namang natahimik si Dionne.
She never knew what to say, ano nga ba naman ang dapat niyang isagot sa sinabing iyong ng pesteng doctor Blaze na ito?
Ilang minuto na at nanatili pa ring tahimik si Dionne, ni hindi niya nga makuhang kumilos at nanatili lamang na nakatitig kay Blaze, kung hindi pa siya nito pinitik ng medyo malakas sa noo ay hindi pa siya matatauhan.
Agad na napa hawak sa noo si Dionne dahil kahit pa hindi naman kalakasan ang pitik ni Blaze kahit paano ay masakit pa rin naman.
“Awtsu!”
Mahinang daing ni Dionne.
“Sorry, but please quit being stubborn and let me in.”
Matamis ang ngiting sabi ni Blaze, napa nguso naman dito si Dionne tapos ay tila wala sa sariling umusog sa isang sulok ng pinto para maka pasok si Blaze.
“Thanks!”
Naka ngiti pa ring sabi ng binata matapos nitong pumasok sa loob, ito na rin ang nag kusang mag sara ng pinto, agad pang nanlaki ang mga mata ni Dionne nang i-lock iyon ni Blaze, hindi pa ito nakuntento at siniguro pang naka kandado nga ang pinto ng kanyang hotel room.
“W-why are you locking the door?”
Nauutal na tanong ni Dionne, isang nakaka lokong ngisi lamang naman ang ibinigay na sagot sa kanya ni Blaze.
“Bakit, ano ba ang nasa isip mo?”
Pilyong tanong nito, nakuha pa nitong luwagan ang suot na kulay asul na neck tie tapos ay tinangal ang ilang butones ng suot na long sleeved.
Dionne knew what he was trying to do, she knew because she’s Chantria Dionne Monteverde, seduction is her forte and she was great with that and she does that all the time, Dionne instantly figured that Blaze has no right to play the same game on her.
Lihim na napa ngisi si Dionne nang mahuli rin ang ginagawa ni Blaze.
“Gusto mong malaman kung ano ang iniisip ko? Oh nothing really, Blaze. I just have you running in my mind right now, naked…”
Mapang akit na sabi ni Dionne, nakuha niya pang maupo sa malaking kama at mapang akit rin na itinaas ang kanyang legs bago muling nag salita.
“And I like you naked inside my head, Blaze.”
Dagdag niya pa, hindi pa siya nakontento at nakuha pang kagatin ang pang ibabang labi habang matamang pinagmamasdan ang lalaki.
Muli pa siyang lihim na ngumiti nang makitang napa lunok ng sariling laway si Blaze.
“Ahem, please don’t do that.”
Blaze said rather than asked, Dionne even saw how he secretly moved his hands and use them to cover his crotch area.
Dionne only laughed at him.
“Aww, but why? I think the game of seduction is fun to play, and I like playing it with you.”
Sabi niya pa saka sinadyang dilaan ang mga labi, kita niyang muling napa lunok si Blaze.
“Seduction is never a game Dionne.”
“Oh? You think so? Because I thought that is what you were trying to do earlier.”
Sagot naman ni Dionne saka mataman tinitigan nag binata.
“See that? Don’t you dare play with me Blaze, because I tell you… You have no match against me.”
Mayabang na sabi ni Dionne saka ngumiti.
“No match? Really?”
“Yes, wanna bet?”
Hamon niya pa sa binata na halatang tila ayaw pa ring mag patalo.
“You can’t because you can’t…”
Naka ngising sabi niya.
“You can’t play that game on me, because I will always assure you that you will only be the one who will lose, now state your business, anong kailanagn mo sa akin?”
Direktang tanong ni Dionne, Blaze managed to clear his throat and remained quiet for a brief moment.
“I already said so, I wanted to talk.”
Blaze finally said.
“Tungkol saan ba? Wala naman kasi akong maalala na mayroon tayong dapat pag usapan, I told you I like you, you told me you are committed, that you don’t like me the same way I liked you and you made that very clear, so ano pa ba ang dapat nating pag usapan?”
Mahabang litanya ni Kitana, napa buntong hininga pa si Blaze bago sumagot.
“Exactly, you told me you like me and I think I rejected you, and I feel bad.”
Dionne’s one eyebrow rose at what she heard him say.
“Feel bad? Why so?”
She asked.
“Because I rejected you, and you stormed out of my house after that and now I can tell that you are mad at me, so mad that you can’t even talk to me nicely or you can’t even look at me.”
Sabi ni Blaze, lalo lamang namang tumaas ang kilay ni Dionne.
Ano ba ang pinag sasabi ng lalaking ito?
Naguguluhang tanong niya sa sarili saka tinapunan ng inis na tingin si Blaze.
“I am not mad at you and I don’t have any reasons to be mad at you, you rejected me because you don’t like me, and that is okay, I take rejections very well.”
Tinatamad na sabi niya saka muling umiwas ng tingin.
“You don’t”
Blaze said.
“Hell I do, I just don’t want you anywhere near me, ikaw na ang nag sabi, you are committed, you have a girlfriend so why the hell are you still trying to be close to me now?”
Tanong ni Dionne.
“I don’t know.”
Sagot ni Blaze na nag pakunot naman sa noo ni Dionne.
“I don’t know, okay? I said I don’t like you, you are stubborn, and bratty ang sungit mo pa and you never ran out of reasons because I think you see everything as a competition and I don’t like it.”
Mahabang sabi ni Blaze, naging tahimik lamang naman si Dionne sa halip kasi na mag salita at sagutin si Blaze ay mas pinili niya pang pag taasan pa ito lalo ng kilay.
Nakuha pa siyang irapan ni Blaze bago muling nag salita.
“There, those are just the few things that I hate about you.”
“Wala sa mga sinabi mo ang pwede kong i-consider na sagot sa tanong ko, if you hate all those things about me, the things that actually makes me who I am then why are you still trying to be close to me?”
Naiiling na sabi ni Dionne, rinig niya ang sandaling pag buntong hininga ni Blaze.
“Because those things that I hate about you are also the things that I like about you, don’t ask me why I wanna be close to you because I don’t freaking know.”
Sagot pa ni Blaze saka agad na kumilos palapit sa kanya, huli na para kumilos din si Dionne palayo dahil mabilis nang sinakop ng mga palad nito ang kanyang pisngi at saka siya siniil ng halik sa labi.
Isang impit na ungol na lamang naman ang nagawa ni Dionne at wala sa sariling napa hawak na rin siya sa likod ng leeg at braso ng binata, mariin siyang napa pikit kasabay ng pag sunod ng katawan nang marahan siyang itulak ni Blaze sa kamang kanyang inuupuan.
“You are confusing…”
Halos pa bulong na sabi ni Dionne kay Blaze sa pagitan ng mga halik nito sa kanyang labi, napa ngiti naman ang lalaki saka nahiga rin patagilid sa tabi niya, ginamit pa nitong pang tukod sa ulo ang isang kamay para mapa harap sa kanya.
“I know, and I am sorry if I make you confuse, kahit ako din naman kasi naguguluhan.”
Naka ngiti ngunit seryosong sabi ni Blaze, inirapan naman ito ni Dionne dahilan para marahan itong matawa.
“Again, rolling eyes to people are considered rude, Dionne.”
“Sa masama nga talaga ang ugali ko kaya exempted na ako sa rude keneme na iyan.”
Pangangatwiran ni Dionne, wala namang nagawa si Blaze kung hindi ang mapa iling na lamang dahil sa kasutilan ng dalaga.
“Tell me something.”
Sabi ni Dionne matapos ang ilang minutong katahimikan.
“Something about what?”
Kunot noong tanong ni Blaze.
“Well I don’t know, sabihin mo saakin kung bakit ang pangit mo.”
Naka ngising sabi ni Dionne, sinamaan naman siya ng tingin ni Blaze.
“Don’t look at me like that, nag sabi lang ako ng totoo, walang masama doon.”
“I am not ugly.”
“Sige, hindi na medyo lang.”
Naka ngisi pa ring sabi ni Dionne, mahina pa siyang natawa nang lalo lamang sumama ang timpla ng mukha ng binata, bakit niya nga ba ito inaasar, hindi naman na lingid sa kanyang kaalaman na dakilang pikon si Blaze.
Dionne couldn’t help but smile at the thought, she’s supposed to be mad at him, Dionne knew that she’s shouldn’t be talking to him anymore but hell, she couldn’t help but be happy having him around, having him beside her in this hotel room’s bed, away from everyone and everything.
Just the two of them.
Muli pang napa ngiti si Dionne sa isiping iyon.
“What are you smiling about?”
Kunot-noong tanong sa kanya ni Blaze, suno-sunod pa ang naging iling niya bago sumagot.
“Nothing, bawal ba ngumiti?”
Dionne asked.
“No, mas gusto ko nga na naka ngiti ka, you are prettier when you smile kesa sa naka busangot o di kaya ay seryoso.”
Sabi ni Blaze.
“Whatever, anyway come on, tell me something.”
Muli niya pang ungot sa binata, hindi na siya nag abala pang tapunan ito ng tingin at nanatili lamang sa pagkaka higa.
“Tungkol saan nga?”
“Ewan nga, kahit ano… ohhh just tell me about the girlfriend.”
Kunwaring excited na sabi ni Dionne.
“Ayoko.”
Walang ganang sabi ni Blaze, napa nguso naman dito si Dionne.
“I don’t want to talk about the girlfriend.”
Dagdag pa ni Blaze.
“Bakit hindi? We are friends.”
Ngising aso na sabi ni Dionne.
“Really?”
Kunwaring excited na sabi ni Blaze.
”Ayoko mag kwento because I know that you will be ma at me again, we are already starting a good conversation and I don’t want any of us to ruin it.”
“Yeah, we are, and I won’t be mad. Hayaan mo, since I can’t date you, hahanap ako ng ibang pwede kong maging boyfriend and I promise that I will tell you about him too.”
Pilyang sabi ni Dionne, kita niya ang sandaling pag tagis ng bagang ni Blaze ngunit pinili niya na lamang na huwag nang pansinin iyon.
“You don’t need a boyfriend to be happy, Dionne.”
Seryosong sabi ni Blaze, pilit pa nitong hinuli ang kanyang mga mata na pilit din namang iniwasan ni Dionne.
Kulang na lamang ay huwag siyang gumalaw sa kinahihigaan para huwag mag tama ang mga mata nila ng binata.
“I do…”
“Why?”
“Well, I am bored and I think I could use a mind-blowing s*x…”
Dionne said laughing while Blaze kept being serious, instead of laughing with her, he chose to give her a death glare.
“What?”
She snapped.
“Mind-blowing s*x? Really?”
Masama pa rin ang tingin na tanong sa kanya ni Blaze.
“Yeah, I don’t see anything wrong with that, if ever that happens, I will be sleeping with my boyfriend anyway, I won’t be sleep around. Kung sakali mang maka hanap ako ng lalaking pwede kong habul-habolin na walang magagalit na girlfriend, I don’t see why not, isa pa hindi naman kung kani-kanino lang ako makikipag s*x eh, I am talking about future boyfriend here.”
Mahabang paliwanag ni Dionne saka mabilis rin namang binawi ang tingin nang mag tama ang mga mata nila ng binata.
“I am not saying na masama iyon, I am also not implying that you are the type of woman who sleeps around.”
Seryoso pa rin na sabi ni Blaze.
“Well then why are you mad?”
Dionne snapped.
“I am not ma Dionne, I just don’t like the idea of you dating someone else, ayaw kong makita kang may hinahabol na iba, let alone you are opening about having a mind-blowing s*x with that someone, and I know that I can give you that my self.”
