Trapped In The Web of Love – 3
~*~
Angel didn't intend to respond to Richard kiss, so she kept her lips shut. However, as his lips continued teasing her, she eventually responded. The moment she allowed his tongue entry to her mouth; she was lost in his kiss. There was something in him that made her lose control. She didn’t even protest when his arms went around her body. She was still savoring the new feeling he evoked in her when he broke their kiss.
"I just wanted to collect a debt you owe me. You made me wait in Tagaytay for two nights.” He said softly when he lifted his head.
“Ang gwapo nya.” She thought. It was then she recognized him. “You were the guy in Tagaytay!”
He looked at her with disbelief. “You’re so good for my ego.” It really seemed she had forgotten him.
She smirked. “I’m sorry. I meet a lot of people in my work.” She stepped away from him and planned to leave, but he clasped her hand.
“Not so fast, Angel. You can’t just leave me yet.” His expression turned smug.
“Excuse me, Mr. whoever you are. You said you came here to collect what I owe you, and you've forcibly taken the payment from me. Therefore, we're quits." She tried to brush away his hand, but he tightened his grip.
She put up a brave front but deep within she was disconcerted. She had been kissed before, but she never kissed a stranger. So, she wanted to get away from him as soon as possible.
“Join me in my table.” Richard commanded as his two hands already held Maya’s arms.
"I'm sorry; I'm going home. My work for tonight is done." She responded while she tried to wriggle out of his grasp.
“Ganyan ka ba talaga?” He regarded her thoughtfully.
“What do you mean?” She replied with knotted brows.
“You’re such a tease. I already kissed you and you kissed me back. And yet, you refuse to join me in my table. So, I wonder if you’d prefer an invitation to a hotel or maybe we can go to your place.” Richard’s chinky eyes leered at her causing her to blush.
PAK! "I'm not that kind of girl. Now, I regret it even more that I kissed you back."
The sexual undertone in his statements infuriated Angel that her hand flew and landed on his face. She turned on her heel and left him.

Bang! Angel slammed the club’s dressing room door.
