Silly idea

"Never asked me to let you go. Because that's unworkable."

She threw a dagger look at Zedrick. How could he say that? He needed to let her go. He had Dorothy and they had a healthy relationship. She even saw the Instagram account of the woman. His face is all over her wall.

He is cheating!

Marahas niyang pinalis ang luha sa kanyang pisngi. Kung tatanungin siya nito kung bakit siya umiiyak, iyon ay dahil sa awa. Kailangan niyang panindigan na wala na talaga. Na hindi niya ito gusto. "Hindi mo ako mabobola. What you are doing right now is unworkable either with me. Babaero!"

The sadness on his eyes instantly changed into an amusement. Yet he remained to look pain and injured deeply. "It seems that my baby wants to clarify something." He arrogantly shifted on his seat and watched her closely. "Hmmm?"

She shouldn't be looked into his eyes. He is known as a silent playboy. He will not do or even say anything because his hawk and sexy eyes had a natural power that can fool any woman. One time she read an article on a woman's magazine about the most beautiful woman on the world. There are many lists of pervert question. One of those is; if you are going to die tomorrow. Can you name a man who you do want to have a one night stand? Mehiko said that the boys, Hetch are the living men on this world that she wanted to be with. Either Malik Hetch or Zedrick Dominique Hetch.

"Ano ba!" Pinalo niya ang kamay nito noong subukan siyang hawakan sa pisngi. Isang beses na siyang napaikot ng malanding lalaki na ito, hindi na mauulit iyon. Over her dead body.

He licked his lower lip. Putting a playful smile on his luscious lips. "I miss you."

"Miss your face. Ang landi nito. Doon ka nga sa Dorothy mo." She rolled her eyes.

Zedrick barked a laughter.

"Huwag kang tumawa. Hindi ako nakikipagbiruan."

"Listen. I am not a property to be owned by anyone... but a naughty little witch got my heart. She goes far away and now she is back. She is now right across my eyes."

"Don't make a—" Humarap siya rito para ipamukha na si Dorothy ang girlfriend nito. Pero lumapat ang malalambot nitong labi sa kanya. Sinubukan niyang pumiksi ngunit maagap nitong sinakop ng mga kamay ang magkabila niyang pisngi. Locking her for him to kiss her deeply, sensually, and hungrier. As if he is worshipping every corner of her lips.

Pinagsusuntok niya ang dibdib nito. Ngunit maagap nitong sinalo ang parehas niyang kamay bago nilubayan ang kanyang mga labi. "I'm not your enemy nor a stranger to your life. I am your boyfriend. Don't push me to anyone else." Mapupungay ang mga titig nito sa kanya.

Obviously, struggling hard on how he will make her believe about his feelings. Scared to lose her again. "No matter how difficult you are. Even if you push me away, I will always love you. Only you," he added, looking back on her tempting lips.

How can this man still love her after seven years? Kung tutuusin ay nagagalit ito at naghihiganti rin. Pero pagmamahal nitong totoo ang pilit pinauunawa sa kanya. Kapag ganyan ito, nahihirapan siyang ipunin ang lahat ng galit niya sa krimeng ginawa ni Brandon. The criminals' blood is running through his veins. But Zedrick is purely innocent to all of this. Or maybe she was wrong. There is a possibility that Brandon is using his brother to kill her too.

His eyes suddenly drifted on her see-through dress. Right there and then his dangerous eyes come back. "You don't have a brassiere?"

She unconsciously looked down too. Oh, yes! I don't have any, it's just a nipple silicon.

Nagtangis ang mga bagang nito, dismayadong ipinikit ang mga mata. Tahimik nitong tinanggal ang suot na coat upang ipasuot sa kanya. Sa una ay hindi niya tinanggap pero nang makaradam nang panlalamig at pakilusin ang sasakyan ay sinuot na rin niya.

"Where are we going?"

"Dinner," masungit na tugon sa kanya.

Ngumuso siya. Hanggang ngayon ay natatakot pa rin siya rito. Hindi niya iyon maipagkakaila. Kahit anong gawin niyang inis o galit, kayang-kaya nitong pagpalitin ang sitwasyon. Pero gayunpaman kailangan niyang mag-ingat. She cannot trust him fully. She will not let her guard down. Baka mamaya paraan lang nito ang gamitin ang edge niya sa kanya para madali na siyang mapatay. Kailangan niyang tingnan ang iba pang anggulo.

He brought her to a luxurious fine dining. At first, she intentionally forgot the coat on the car, but he wisely brought it with him. When they reach the foot of entrance, all the men there turned their heads at her. And the diligent Zedrick put the coat on her.

Some of the guests recognized her immediately. They almost blocked them for a few talked and autographs. Hindi siya mahilig mag-entertain ng tao, pero dahil iniinis niya si Zedrick ay pinaunlakan niya. Nakikipagbeso pa siya at selfie.

"Gusto ko talaga ang mga gawa mo. Ang gaganda parang ikaw. Salamat, Majesty."

"Thank you, po." Kumaway siya sa mga ito bago nagpahatak sa kasama niya sa nireserba nitong marahil para sa kanila.

She wanted to laugh at their arrangement. Zedrick is literally selfish. He chose a private place for them as if he doesn't want to share her or any disturbance. She didn't talk to him while waiting and 'til the food served. She just wanted to take care. To avoid failure or any reason for him to take advantage again.

"Are you comfortable surrounded by many lustful eyes looking you bare?"

"The more attention the merrier. Besides this is part of my name," sagot niya, abala sa paghihiwa ng karne. "Why?" Inosente niya itong sinulyapan. Hindi niya maiangat ang tinidor na may nakatusok na steak. Nakakalunod ang atensyong pinupukol nitong atensyon sa kanya.

"I don't like it. But what can I do? That is your passion. Your dream."

Mariin niyang tinitigan ito. She suddenly doubted the past years of being away with him. He seemed knew what happened in between those brackets. That he witness her sorrow, hard days, and how she had her name now.

"Do you base in here?" She took the glass of wine and played it while waiting for his answer.

"My company is in Dubai."

"Then what are you doing here?" She arrogantly cocked her head, trying really hard to show him that she's still higher than him. That his power over her won't work anymore. A satisfied gesture instantly graces on her movement when he remained tight lip. Obviously, he is lying about his feelings toward her. He is bluffing. "You know. You don't have to—" Her eyes found her ringing the phone.

Goodness, Charlie not now.

"It's fine. Answer it, maybe it's urgent."

Saglit niyang sinulyapan ang tensiyonadong lalaki bago dinampot ang tawag. "Hello, Charlie?" Pumitik ang kilay niya nang tumingin si Zedrick sa kanya.

"What's up? Good news, my dad can walk now."

Iniisip ba niyang lalaki ang kausap ko? Her lips curved up into a devilish grin when she thought something crazy. "Really, Baby Boy? That's great news."

"Gaga. Baby boy mong mukha mo. Umayos ka nga. Ganyan ba ang nangyayari kapag nadiligan na. Share ka naman riyan."

Tumawa ang nasa kabilang linya kaya tumawa rin siya. Iyong kinikilig na tawa. "I even miss your hugs and kisses. Especially your, you know. Once you come back here. Maybe we can... oh my! Alam mo na 'yon."

"What the fuck are talking—"

Binaba niya agad ang tawag at hinarap ang ngayo'y hindi na maipintang mukha ni Zedrick. Bakit ngayon ko lang naisip ito? If he is using me then I can use him too. He is Brandon's brother. He will bring me to him. My mission will be very easy.
