Tres' Fatal Seduction (4th Gen #6)

Chapter 20

NAGMMADALING niligpit niya ang gamit niya 'nung uwian na. Nasa CR si Tres kaya kinuha niya ang pagkakataon na umalis habang wala ito.

"Bye, Coleen." Her blockmayes bid her goodbye and she just wave in return.

Nagkagulo na ang gamit niya sa loob ng kanyang maliit na bag pero wala na siyang pakealam. Tinakbo niya ang daan palabas ng tumilapon siyabsa isang dibdib sa biglaan nitong pagpasok sa silid.

"Are you freaking blind?!" She shrieked but froze when she realized it was Tres Zairon Benjamin.

"T-tres..."

"You look like in a hurry." He said blankly while looking at her.

Napalunok siya at umiwas ng tingin.

"I..uhm, I'm going to meet Jolie and Eugina." Palusot niya at sinubukang lampasan ang binata pero humarang ito sa dinaraanan niya.

"I'll drive you---"

"No need! Susunduin nila ako." Agad na pigil niya sa binata.

Tres stared at her intently. Peke siyang tumikhim at umiwas ng tingin. Sana naman hindi mahalata---

"You're lying."

---shit, how can she forget that he's Tres?

Tumiim ang bagang niya at inis na hinarap ang binata.

"Does it matter? And can you please step aside. I have important thing to do." She faked smile and bump his shoulder as she walk passed through him.

Lihim siyang napamura ng marinig ang nakasunod na yabag ng binata.

Why is he getting clingy of all sudden?! Nakakainis lang kasi 'nung time na gusto niyang nasa tabi niya ang binata ay ayaw naman nito. At ngayon, kung kailan gusto na lang niya na na kay Katarina ito, halos ayaw namang huiwalay ang binata.

"Can't you stop following me?!" Inis na singhal niya sa binata ng hindi pa rin ito nililingon.

"I'm just checking if you're lying or not." Anito, tinutukoy ang sinabi niyang susunduin siya ni Jolie at Eugina.

Those girls' career is blooming and they don't have time to even go out to chill.

"Fine. I'm lying about the girls will fetch me. So what?" Inirapan niya ang binata at muling nagpatuloy sa paglalakad.

Naiinis talaga siya kay Tres these past few days pero kung hindi naman niya nakikita ang binata ay hinahanap-hanap niya ito.

Napatigil siya sa paglalakad ng makaramdam siya ng hilo. She massaged her temple trying to ease the dizziness but it just go worse.

"Are you okay?" Tres held her waist and guide her to lean on his chest.

"I got dizzy of all sudden."

"Do you want me to call a doctor?"

"H-huwag na. I think I just need an ice cream. Siguro sa init lang." Aniya at pinaypayan ang sarili.

Paano naging dahil sa init kung air conditioned and classroom nila?

But she wants ice cream.

"Okay, let's get an ice cream."

Hindi na siya nakapalag ng akayin siya ng binata palabas ng university.

Tinulungan siya ng binata na sumakay sa motor nito.

"They're staring at my legs." Mahinang anas niya at inayos ang kanyang skirt.

Tres' jaw clenched before taking off his hoddie and cover her legs. Medyo naninibago ang mata niyang hindi naka hoddie ang binata sa school. Mabuti at nakasuot ito ng puting t-shirt.

Tres drive his way to a park. There's a small ice cream parlor near the park so they went inside.

Hinayaan niya lang ang binata na umorder. Hanggang sa bumalik ito bitbit ang  isang malaking bowl at  kutsara.

"Here." At inabot sa kanya ang isang bowl ng strawberry ice cream.

"How did you know that I love strawberry ice cream?"

Damn, it feels like Olivia Rodrigo deja vu, strawberry ice cream, one spoon for two, huh?

"It's obvious." Sagot ng binata at tiningnan ang suot at gamit niya.

Yeah. Pink.

She just giggled and take a spoonful of ice cream. Agad siyang napapikit ng malasahan ang tamis at lamig.

Parang si Tres, minsan sweet, minsan cold. He's like an ice cream. An ice cream that she love to lick. Yum, yum.

Her smile vanished when she heard Tita Angie voice.

"The man wants my daughter to fall for him, so if she marry him one day, my property, my power will pass to that guy."

The daughter given is Katarina. And the guy... is Tres, right? Tita Angie mentioned that the guy is stalking her daughter. And she knew that Tres was stalking Katarina.

The man wants my daughter to fall for him.

Tres wants Katarina to fall for me so that they would be wedded someday.
That's so sad.

If that happens, she will attend their wedding wearing all black and will shout, Tres have small dick! Tingnan lang niya si Katarina kung matutuwa ito.

But does that mahinhin bitch knew what dick is?

"Oh, shit." She cussed when she felt a cold thing on her cheek.

Nilagyan siya ng ice cream nito sa kanyang pisngi!

Sinamaan niya ng tingin ang binata.

"You're spacing out " He defensed.

"But still. Malagkit na ang pisngi ko!" Nakasimangot na saad niya sa binata at akmang papahiran ng tissue pigilan ng binata ang kamay niya.

"Let me clean it."

Then he lean closer and lick the ice cream on her face!

"Tres!"

Ngumisi lang ang binata saka pinahiran na talaga ng tissue ang pisngi niya.

"Now, your cheeks turned into strawberry." He was talking about how she blushed.

Sinamaan lang niya ng tingin ang binata para itago ang pamumula.

Ano bang nangyayari kay Tres? He's not acting like the Tres she knew.

Nahuli niyang nakatitig sa kanya ang binata. She stared back at him and raised her brow.

"Don't stare too much, you might fall." Nakangising anas niya sa binata at saka sumubo ng ice cream.

"Don't be confident too much, you might get hurt." He fired back. Now, this is the Tres she knew.

"Oh, come on. Impossible namang hindi ka ma-fall sa akin, hindi ba?"

Tres stared at her intently before answering.

"I don't know."

Nawala ang ngiti niya.

"That's not the right answer Tres. It's never, you will never fall for me. Don't get confused." Mariing saad niya sa binata.

"You can't manipulate my answer. I've said what I said."

She scoffed.

"Baka nakalimutan mo si Katarina? Don't get confused about your feelings for me, you'll just going to hurt me. You know what? Why don't you just to talk to her?" Kinuha niya ang bag at iniwan ang binata sa loob ng ice cream shop.

Naramdaman niya ang sumunod na yabag nito.

"Katarina has nothing to do with us."

Tumawa siya ng mapakla at humarap sa binata.

"It has. She's your end game. Fine, I regret that I'd try to steal your attention. Kasi hindi ko alam na aabot pala sa ganito!"

"Aabot saan?"

"Sa puntong nagugustuhan na kita! Putangina, Tres. Ang sakit mong mahalin."
