CHAPTER 5
KIANNA SOFIA
"Hello, my dearest. How are you? Have you eaten?"
"Y-Yes, Mama. I'm.. fine." Sinikap kong patatagin ang aking boses. Umayos ako ng upo sa takip ng bowl habang hawak ko sa aking tainga ang cellphone ko. "Ma, can I ask you?"
"Yes. Anything." May pag-aalala sa boses ni Mama.
"P-Pangit ba k-ko?" Damn you Thunder.
"What? No. Who told you that? Lalaslasin ko ang leeg niya."
"No one. I just.. felt insecure sometimes." Thanks to Thunder. Feeling ko sobrang pangit ko kapag siya ang nagsasabing unattractive ako.
Mahinang natawa si Mama. "My sweet bubble's in love?"
Kamuntikan na akong mabilaukan sa sinabi ni Mama. "No."
"Oh, sweetie. I'm your mother. I know you from head to toe. Who's the lucky guy?"
"Good bye, Ma. I missed you so much."
"I'm looking forward to meeting this guy, Sweetheart. Good bye. Love love."
Ito na mismo ang pumutol ng tawag. Lumabas ako sa cubicle ng comfort room at humarap sa malaking salamin ng banyo. Inayos ko ang nagulo kong eyeliner at inayos ang aking sarili.
Right! I'm hot. I'm pretty. I can make any guy kneel for me. Hindi lang naman siya ang lalaki sa mundo.
Inilabas ko ang aking cellphone nang tumunog iyon. Isang unknown number ang nagsent sa akin ng message.
I'm not coming back. Go home.
-Thunder
Umuwi ako at nagbihis. I wear my most seductive micro minidress. Lumabas ako ng bahay at pumasok sa aking sasakyan. Nag-drive ako papunta sa isang sikat na bar.
"Hello, Miss Kianna." Bati sa akin ng bouncer.
Kinindatan ko ito. "Hello, Pete. Been a long time."
Sa dalas ko sa bar na ito, kilalang-kilala na ata ako ng lahat ng bouncer. Taas-noo akong rumampa sa loob ng bar.
I smirked when I saw a guy with a boyish grin winked at me. Kinagat ko ang aking ibabang labi nang lumapit ito sa akin. Pumunta ako sa gitna ng dance floor at naramdaman ko ang pagsunod nito.
Hinarap ko siya at binigyan ko ito ng kaakit-akit na ngiti. Pumaikot ang aking braso sa kanya leeg at ang kanyang kamay ay humaplos sa aking likod.
"You're beautiful." He eliminated the last inch between us, pressing his body against mine.
"I'm Sofie." Pagsisinungaling ko.
"Sounds like an angel. I'm Terrence." He teased.
"Sounds like trouble." I teased back.
"Nah. I'm the opposite." He laughed. Oh, he's so manly.
Everything seems so fast. And here we are, Terrence and I are kissing recklessly inside his BMW. I don't know if the glass are tinted or not, this guy is a f*****g good kisser. I'm sitting on his lap and my arms are surrounding him.
“I love your lips.” He whispered, surprising me by voicing the identical thought I’d just been having.
He pulled back and dragged his index finger over my bottom lip, his touch gentle.
He was looking at me like I was a juicy Thanksgiving turkey he couldn’t wait to dig his teeth into.
“And your tongue.” He added breathlessly, pulling back for air. “I love your tongue even better than your lips.”
I brushed my lips over him, and this time when I deepened the kiss he didn’t pull back. No more talking. Right now all I wanted to do was lose myself in his warm body and sweet lips. He licked his way from my mouth to my neck, sucking gently on my skin and inhaling the intoxicating scent of me.
"What the hell!" Nasabi ko nang biglang bumukas ang pinto ng kotse at may mga brasong humatak sa akin palabas.
I gulped when I saw Thunder's piercing eyes, burning with rage. "What the hell are you doing, Miss Seville?!"
My eyes narrowed. "Thunder?"
His masculine scent—crisp cotton and spicy aftershave with hints of sandalwood and leather. It was a lethal combination that did something to me. The man was trouble, a sexy-as-hell troublemaker, but still. It bothered me that I couldn’t turn off my thoughts.
Most of the night I tossed and turned, unable to forget the way Thunder’s messy disheveled hair made him look both sexy and dangerous at the same time. The way his dark eyes pierced mine, forcing the air from my lungs.
"You're damn wasted." Thunder said, his voice cold enough to freeze the Arctic.
"Hey! That's my girl!" Tumingin si Thunder sa akong likuran. Matalim ang titig niya.
Lumingon rin ako at nakita si Terrence na lumabas sa kabilang pinto ng kotse. Mapapansing namumula rin ang kanyang pisngi dahil sa kalasingan.
Lumapit ito sa amin at hinawakan ang kabilang braso ko. Bumaba ang titig ni Thunder sa kamay ni Terrence na nakahawak sa aking braso. Napalunok ako nang makita ang paggalaw ng kanyang panga.
"Don't touch her and you'll live, fucker." Thunder said dangerously.
"You're the one who should—" Hindi na natapos ng lalaki ang kanyang sinasabi nang sapakin ito ni Thunder.
Terrence is freaking unconscious!
"Terrence!" I shouted. Pupuntahan ko na sana ito nang pigilan ako ni Thunder.
Halos magpalipit ang mga paa ko nang hilahin ako ni Thunder sa kinaroroonan ng sasakyan niya. Nilingon ko si Terrence na hanggang ngayon ay walang malay na nakahiga sa semento.
Ngayon ko pinagsisisihan na hindi tinted ang salamin ng kotse niya.
Binawi ko ang aking braso para balikan si Terrence ngunit may mga brasong pumalupot sa aking bewang.
"Damn it, woman!" He cursed.
"I have a car. I can still drive!"
He groaned. "Stubborn girl."
Napatili ako nang buhatin niya ako at buksan ang pinto ng passenger seat ng sasakyan niya. Agad niyang sinarado iyon nang maipasok ako at umikot sa driver's seat. I tried to open the door but it's lock. Damn, luxury cars!
Pumasok ito at agad na pinaandar ang sasakyan.
"I'm here to flirt and not to do what you say, Mister Sandoval. Dito, we can act w****s, Sir. They need w****s, not a professional lunatic like you." I snapped. Umabot na ulunan ko ang inis ko sa lalaking ito. "Ihinto mo ang sasakyan 'to!"
"Just shut up, woman! You're pissing me off."
I gasped. "Oh ,yeah? Good news, you're pissing me off, too. So, stop this damn car and mind your own f*****g business."
"What are you? A cursing machine?" His lips form a thin line. I can see in his eyes that he's furious.
Huminga ko ng malalim at inayos ang aking damit. Tumingin nalang ako sa labas ng sasakyan. Hindi ko pa rin makalimutan ang masasakit na salitang sinabi niya sa akin kanina.
Huminto ang sasakyan nito at napansin kong nasa tapat na kami ng gate ng bahay ko. I tried to open the door but it's still lock, I gave him a sharp look.
"Open the door." I said.
Hindi niya ako pinansin at kinalikot lang ang cellphone nito. Pagkatapos ay inilagay iyon sa kanyang tenga.
"Harry... Need confirmation.. NLG4044.. Got it?.. Yeah. Good, I'll see the result tomorrow." Pagkasabi niya niyon ay binaba na niya ang kanyang cellphone.
"What's with the code?" Kunut noong sabi ko.
"The asshole's plate number." Sabi nito habang hindi nakatingin sa akin.
"Okay, whatever. Unlock the doors. I don't want to breathe the same air as yours." Malamig kong sabi.
Nagbuntong hininga ito. "Kianna, about the thing I'd said to you—"
"Don't worry. No hard feelings. Maybe, you're right. You need professionals, not w****s. Kaya bukas, magre-resign na ako." Putol ko sa sasabihin niya.
"Okay, look, I'm sorry. You don't have to resign, I'm the one to blame. So—"
"Labas sa ilong ang sorry mo." I rolled my eyes. "Tanggap ko na hindi talaga ako attractive sa paningin mo. Kaya lagi akong nai-insecure kapag kasama kita."
He smirked. "Kaya pala pumunta sa bar. You want to prove yourself that you're still attractive."
"Yes! Thanks to you, asshole. I've never felt so damn insecure. And I've never felt like I'm a slut until you'd said it." I outburst.
"But, you don't have to kiss or f**k him." Madiin nitong sabi.
"I think, that's none of your business, Mister Sandoval. This is my body."
"That's it, Kianna! You're making this so difficult for me."
"Just open this door so I could go. I don't want to see your face again. It's making me sick." Wala na akong pakielam kung masaktan ko siya. Magre-resign rin naman ako bukas.
"Sick, huh?"
His mouth moved over mine, his hands lifted to my head and angled it slightly. He held my face, pushed his tongue between my lips and began kissing me with devastating force. His tongue swirled around mine, came out, licked over mg bottom lip, his teeth grazing me softly. He groaned deep in his diaphragm, and went back for more.
I sagged in his embrace, leaning against him, my brain separated from my body as he kissed me over and over again. I didn't know where I stopped and he began as I moved my hands over him, sliding under the tails of his shirt, running my hands up and over his naked back.
"I'm going to wipe his kiss from your memory." He murmured.
I ran my hands around to his chest and up his pectoral muscles until my hands covered his small, male n*****s.
He ripped his mouth from mine and pulled my hands away from his chest and held them tightly while he dragged oxygen into his lungs.
"Can't do that, babe. You keep that up, I'll come in my pants."
Shocked, I sucked in a breath and went back for his mouth. He allowed my access, and lowered his lips back to mine.
It began again. Our tongues dueled, our arms entwined. I moaned softly into his mouth. I pressed against him, and started undulating against him.
I broke my mouth free for oxygen. Hinabol niya ang labi ko ngunit iniiwas ko iyon. Damn, his lips are addicting. I was so damn high.
Oh, I can feel the s****l tension between us. Damn it.
"You're beautiful, Kianna. Believe me. Proofs are not necessary." He said while caressing my cheeks.
"But, you said—"
"Well, green-eyed monster doesn't made anything right, does he?"
I grinned. "You really fell for me, don't you? Hard."
He sighed.
"No more Terrence, Miss Seville. No more kissing and making out with other male species." He warned. His eyes is piercing mine. I cannot look away. "You'll no longer wear this micro minidress. Burn it if you must. You belongs to me, keep that in your mind. You're my possession."
"I belong to no one, Thunder." Madiin kong sabi.
Nagpasalamat ako nang hindi na naka-lock ang pinto nang buksan ko iyon.
Possession my ass. Anong akala niya sa akin? Robot na pwede niyang kontrolin. Hindi ako isang bagay na pwede niyang paglaruan at kapag nagsawa na siya ay hahanap naman siya ng iba.
