Cold witch!

It was already break time ng maisipan niyang puntahan si Leo sa lugar kung saan niya ito unang nakita.

Sophia was debating herself whether to go or not pero sa huli pinili nalang niyang puntahan ang lalaki, she doesn't know kung makikita niya ito doon but still she was hoping.

"Anong masamang hangin ang nagdala sayo rito?"

Natigil sya sa pag hakbang ng marinig ang pamilyar na boses ng lalaki.

"How did you know it was me?" 

Nakakunot noo niyang tanong.

"Even if you reduce to ashes I will still recognized you!"

Anitong di man lang siya tiningnan. 

"I never knew you're such a poet, Mr. Perez.!" 

Di niya mapigilang matawa sa ka kornihan nito.

"Pero kung inaakala mong madadala mo ako sa tabas ng iyong dila nagkakamali ka!"

She snorts that makes Leo smiled.

"I don't need to do such!" 

Confident nitong sabi na ikinakunot noo niya. 

"Baka nakakalimutan mong ikaw na mismo ang lumalapit sa akin?"

"I really hates the nerve of this jerked!"

hindi niya mapigilang ibulong sa sarili. Hindi nalang niya pinansin ang sobrang pagka mahangin nito.

"I'm going to make things straight with you, Mr. Perez!"

"Oh? whom do I owed the pleasure of your pressence, your highness?!"

"You jerked!" 

hindi na niya mapigilang bulyawan ito.

"Watch your mouth before I'm going to rip it!"

"That temper of yours will always put you in trouble, just incase you did not realized how terrible you are!" 

kalmado nitong sabi habang nakatuon ang pansin sa aklat na binabasa. Napabuga sya ng marahas nang marinig ang sinabi nito.

Naikuyom niya ng mahigpit ang mga kamay habang nagtatagis ang mga bagang.

Why of all people itong hinayupak lang ang may lakas loob na pagsabihan sya kung gaano kasama ang kanyang ugali?

and why the mere site of him annoys her so much.

Kung hindi lang niya kailangan ang hinayupak di sana sya mag aaksaya ng panahon makipagkita rito.

"How much do you know me?"

"That's depend on how you—!" 

"Just name the damn price, you jerked!"

anyang hindi na niya pinatapos ang lalaki, She was really running out of patient.

"Your temper is really amazing!" 

Leo said sarcastically habang pinasadahan sya ng tingin.

"By the way, You are really a business woman to offer such deal to me"

"Why is that against your code?"

"Nope!" 

anitong nagkibit balikat.

"People change, loyalty change but money can't!"

"So, this is all about money?" 

She thought to herself. Sophia doesn't knew why but somehow she felt disappointed ng marinig ang sinabi ng lalaki.

"Fine. .who deosn't need money nowadays!"

Ang lalaki naman ang marahas na napabaling sa kanya. Biglang nag iba ang expression ng mukha nito, marahil nasagi niya ang ego ng lalaki.

"Tell me what you want!"

Leo asked her after a long silence.

"I want to take over the alliance!"

Matigas niyang sabi. Leo stood up and join her, parehas na silang nakatayo habang pinagmamasdan ang ibang mga studyante sa baba.

"You're cleaning mess after mess!" 

Komento nito sa kanya.

"Which side  are you taking in?"

"Nah. .I'm not taking sides, do whatever you want, for hell I care!" 

Baliwala nitong sabi habang nakapamulsa.

"But if you insist, I'm always on the side where money always win!"

"What a hustler!" 

She said sourly habang pinasadahan ito ng tingin. Sophia suddenly realized that Leo is the kind who will not stub you at the back as long as the price is right.

"I'll take that as a compliment!"

Anitong natatawa.

"You're cold!"

"But atleast not as cold as you are—you impertinent jerk!" 

Di na niya mapigilang bulyawan ito,ok na sana ang sitwasyon but why this jerk, keep on messing up with her? 

"Why do you have to provoke me all the time?"

"Did I?"

Pa enosenti nitong tanong sa kanya.

Saglit na natigilan si Sophia ng marealized na walang patutunguhan ang pagtatagpo nilang iyon.

She's just wasting her time talking to this jackass and worst she might end up beating such an asshole.

"I guess it's a mistake coming here—"

"Why do you care about them?" 

Leo asked that makes her stop in track.

"It's not in your character!"

Marahas niyang nilingon ang lalaki, Who is he to judge her, anyway!

"I don't need to explain myself to you Mr. Perez, I shoud've not approached you in the first place!"

"What did you do to Catherine?"

Sophia sense the accusation in Leo's voice, and she was hurt. Aaminin man niya o hindi nasaktan siya akusasyon nito sa kanya.

It was the first time someone hit her soft spot, pinigil niya ang maiyak.

"You really think I'm that ruthless, psychopath?" 

She still manage to smile bitterly despite the pain.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, no matter how much I wanted to kill her but I just can't and do you think killing her will justify everything she had done?"

Leo was confused ng makita ang expression ng mukha ni Sophia at ang namumulang mga mata nito.

He did not know, she had that soft spot in her.

"So you don't have to worry, there's still a sense of human in me!"

Pinukol niya ng masamang tingin ang lalaki.

"By the way whether I killed her or not what does it have to do with you?"

"You're jealous!"

"What?" 

Out of anger she pushed him with her palm but Leo wave her hand, he managed to caught her wrist, twirl her before pulling her closer to him.

Napaawang ang mga labi ni Sophia sa kabiglaan. 

"Be at ease, Catherine has nothing to do with me!" 

Anitong tinitigan siya ng matiim, she could feel his breath into her face dahil sa sobrang lapit nito sa kanya kulang nalang maglapat ang mga labi nila na ikinatayo ng lahat ng balahibo sa kanyang katawan.

"I just wanted to know, if standing in your side really makes sense!"

Bulong nito sa kanya.

Dahil sa sinabi nito Sophia suddenly realized one thing, this jerk is playing with her big time! 

Bigla niyang inapakan ng marahas ang paa nito at sinampal ng malakas bago paman ito maka react.

"That's the price I shoud be paying to you!" 

She said imperiouly.

"By the way, if your not taking side better stay where you supposed to, dahil kapag nakita ko pa yang pag mumukha mo haharang harang sa daraanan ko, hindi ako mangingiming, sagasaan ka!" 

She hissed before leaving him frozen in shocked. Bigla namang natawa ng malakas si Leo ng mahimasmasan sa pgkabigla, nahimas niya ang pisnging nasampal ng malakas ni Sophia.

"Good for you, for messing up with her!" 

He scolded himself, hindi rin niya maintindihan why he always end up on messing her, alam naman niyang may sayad sa utak ang babae.

"What a cold witch!" 

Di niya mapigilang matawa, kung ibang babae pa yong kanina malamang naghalikan na sila instead of getting slapped

But how it ended like that? 

Paulit-ulit niyang tanong sa sarili, he was supposed to woo her pero sa halip ginalit pa niya lalo ang impakta.
