Art Of Temptation Series: Forbidden Desire [COMPLETED]

Three

"SAWAKAS, magkakaroon na rin ng lovelife ang bestfriend ko."

I heard Lorelei exclaimed, as if naman may balak akong magkaroon ng isa.

'Books before assholes' that's my motto. But here I am, letting my cherry popped to a stranger who happened to be my step-brother.

Gosh, I can still feel the warmness of his lips on mine. That night, hindi ko na nagawa pang initin ang carbonara ko, kinain ko na lamang ito kahit malamig. I was afraid that he might come back and make some stupid stunts like that again. Because if he does? I will surely kick him right in his balls. (As if naman na hindi ko 'yon nagustuhan)

"Tumahimik ka nga, hinding-hindi ko papatulan ang lalaking 'yon!" Mahinang suway ko sa kanya and she just laughed.

He already knows about the guy who popped my cherry, she even did her own research on that asshole. Nalaman namin na kakapasa niya lang pala sa BAR examination and he topped in their batch.

"Gurl, baka scam 'yan. Baka mabusog ka lang balang araw sa mga salita mong 'yan." she said, still laughing.

Gosh, I want to pull her hair hanggang sa humiwalay ang anit niya.

"Excuse me, mark my words, I will never ever fall that guy. Virginity lang ang nakuha niya akin at hindi ako." Pairap kong saad sa kanya.

She just laughed hard. Mas lalo akong naiinis sa tawa niya.

"Buti na lang at hindi ka niya nabuntis, noh?" Medyo malakas ang pagkakasabi niya. Gosh, siguro narinig siya no'ng grupo ng lalaki at babae.

Kasalukuyan kaming nandito sa mall, may bibilhin kasi ako and of course, para makatakas sa bahay. Swerte na lang talaga kasi paminsan-minsan lang mamalagi sa bahay itong si Gideon.

Mahina kong tinampal ang braso niya. Ito talagang babaeng 'to!

"Tumahimik ka nga baka kung ano pa ang isipin ng mga tao pag narinig ka. Baka isipin nila kung kani kanino ako nagpapagalaw." Mahinang suway ko sa kanya habang naka-angkla ang isa kong kamay sa kanyang braso.

"Why do you always think about other people. Hindi naman sila ang nagpapakain sa'yo. So, how dare them to judge you without even knowing the backstory." Biglang sumeryoso ang kanyang boses kaya napanguso ako.

"Halikana, diretso muna tayong National Book Store." sabi ko na lamang, paniguradong sermon ang aabutin ko sa babaeng ito.

Lorelei and I, are both on the same age. Pero kung makapanermon ang babaeng 'to, para na siyang nanay ko. Maybe she knew my story, and I'm thankful that I found a best friend like her. We also have other friends which is Veronica and Brianna, pero palagi silang busy minsan lang magkatugma ang mga schedule namin.

Veronica is taking up BS in Biology while Brianna is taking up Tourism. They are both graduating students kaya busy silang masyado. While Lorelei and I are both in our third year.

As soon as we entered NBS, I saw a familiar physique of a guy that I really hate. How can I unsee him? He is so tall. He was with his... ahm, girlfriend? Because she's with another girl. They are both seriously looking for a book.

Of course, you dumbass, this is a NBS. Ano pala ang gusto mong gawin nila dito? Kainin ang mga libro? Sigaw ng kabila kong isip.

Agad akong tumalikod at hilahin si Lorelei palabas ngunit mukhang ayaw nitong babaeng 'to. Good thing, she didn't recognize Gideon even though she almost make a tarpaulin for him because of having a face like him.

"Sabi mo punta tayo National Book Store, ngayon na nandito na tayo gusto mo nang umalis." Tila naiinis nitong sambit.

"Wala na pala akong bibilhin dito. Kaya kumain na lang muna tayo, libre ko." I used my magic word, it works every single time.
