Loving Him Is Red (Sanford Series #3) [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 2

"Let me borrow your body just for one night," deklara niya sa dalawang kaharap na nanlaki ang mga mata dahil sa kanyang sinabi. Kung wala lang siyang inaalalang problema ay bubunghalit siya ng tawa sa mukha ng dalawang bakla. "It's not what you think it is!" She rolled her eyes upward then showed her troubled eyes.

"Hindi kami pumapatol sa kagaya mo, Cam! Mandiri ka nga."

"Hindi rin ako papatol sa kagaya niyo, George!" Oliver and George smirked as if telling her that she already did. "Whatever! Just help me, I'm desperate. Kailangan ko ng magpapanggap na fiancée sa engagement party nila. Damn, why did I do that?!" Sabay gulo niya sa kanyang buhok sa sobrang frustration.

Dumukwang si Oliver at pinigilan ang kamay ni Cameron na gumugulo sa mahaba nitong buhok. May mga customer nang napapatingin sa kanila dahil sa kanya ngunit wala siyang pakialam sa mga tao sa paligid. She's desperate and frustrated, her life's crazy.

She pouted and stared at him. "Olly, I don't want to be humiliated and be tagged as a bluffing fool in front of them," sumbong niya rito habang inaayos nito ang kanyang magulong buhok. Oh, Oliver is the sweetest. "Let me borrow him, Georgy, just for one night. Holy cow, this is driving me mad!"

"What will happen next? They'll expect that you'll be getting married, you're driving yourself to the pit, sweetheart," George muttered in a soft voice with a concerned look on his face.

"I'll marry Oliver then!" she declared in a sarcastic tone.

"Bitch!" Her best friend gave her a roll. "Why don't you find yourself a man? When I say, man..." George leaned forward and angled her face through the direction of the café's glass door. "...I mean that man, Cameron! He's handsome and oozing with sexiness. Maghubad ka kaya sa harapan niyan, siguro naman papatulan ka. Galingan mo lang sa paggiling."

"Shut up, Georgy!" she hissed without glancing back. Her mouth agape and her eyes were fixated at the sight of the man who was entering the café. Tama si George sa mga ginamit na adjectives dito. His long legs that seem to run forever, his broad shoulder and his tall physique would drive any woman mad. The man was of the mysterious type, aloof, and he also looked... foreigner.

Napakunot ang kanyang noo nang maramdamang tila pamilyar ang mukha nito. Bagaman ay hindi ito ang uri ng taong madaling makalimutan, he stood out from the crowd. May nararamdaman siyang familiarity habang tinitingnan ang kakapasok lang na lalaki.

She was staring at his face with knitted brows when he glanced in her direction and their eyes met. Hindi niya magawang mag-iwas ng tingin dahil huli na, nakita na siya nitong nakatingin dito.

For a moment, she felt like her world stopped spinning and there was only him and her. The sound in her surrounding was inaudible and she couldn't explain why the sudden hit of uneasiness. But her delusions were disturbed with the shriek and commotion from the customers and that broke her eye contact with him.

Tiningnan niya kung ano ang sanhi ng pagpulasan ng mga taong nasa loob ng café, maging ang mga kasamahan niya ay napatayo sa kinauupuan. Approaching her direction was a man in his late forties, his eyes were murderous and he looked livid.

Napasinghap si Cameron nang makita ang pagkislap ng patalim na hinugot ng lalaki mula sa tagiliran nito. Hindi niya agad nahamig ang sarili dahil sa pagkagulat kaya nang undayan siya nito ng saksak ay natulos ang kanyang katawan sa kinauupuan.

"Mamatay ka, Montgomery!" Nanlilisik ang mga mata ng lalaki at iniunday ang patalim sa direksiyon ni Cameron.

Napasigaw ang mga taong nakakita sa ginawa ng lalaki. Ngunit sa upuan tumama ang patalim na para sana kay Cameron dahil agad siyang nahila ni George paiwas.
