Chapter 9

"HEY, gorgeous!" Tawag niya kay Beck na nasa pool side, umiinom ng beer. Lumingon ito sa gawi niya at ngumiti, pero may kakaiba sa ngiting iyon. It was the fake and unpleasant one.

"You're the gorgeous," ani Beck at nagpunas ng basang mukha. Sa wari niya ay galing pa ito sa paglangoy.

Lumapit roon si Addi sa tabi nito at naghubad ng damit, tanging two-piece red bikini lamang ang natira. Dinampot niya rin ang champagne na nasa ibabaw ng mesa at nagsalin sa kopita nito. "I am not gorgeous as you are. How's the day?" tanong niya.

Muli nitong ibilaning sa kawalan ang mga tingin. He swallowed hard. "Something's wrong. My day isn't fine as the usual," nasa boses nito ang lungkot, pag-aalala at pagkasuklam.

Upon seeing them, Addison knew the reason. But she hid it with her fake and concern look. "Ano ba ang nangyari?" Patay-malisya niyang tanong at nilagok ang champagne.

"Lylia had a breakdown this morning after receiving a gift." The man sighed heavily.

Napaarko ang kilay ni Addi. "A gift? Why would she breakdown kung regalo naman pala iyon, maybe she's too happy and excite—"

"It was a dead rat," gap nito sa kaniyang sinabi. Addison gasps, she would be happy pero bakit nang hahatak konsensya ang lalaking ito? What she did was through impulse decision out of jelousy. Oh, god. Ni minsan ay nagawa niya ang bagay na iyon sa ibang kasintahan ng nakaka-relasyon niya noon, kahit pa may isang beses na pinagsabay sila but it never came to her sense na paglaruan ito o 'di kaya ay bigyan ng empty threats. But this one was different. And she was never sorry. The woman deserves it.

Addison can't blame him for acting that way, kasintahan nito si Lylia and that thought made her heart aches. Ngunit hindi niya iyon binigyan ng pansin. Lumusong siya sa pool at nag back stroke ng dalawang beses bago muling umahon. Inabutan siya ni Beck ng tuwalya at malugod naman niya iyong tinanggap.

"We should not talk about her, remember the deal."

Napangiti ng wala sa oras si Addi. Naalala pa pala nito ang usapan nila noong isang gabi. Akala niya buong maghapon nilang pag-uusapan ang tungkol sa babaeng iyon. Tumayo ito at naunang naglakad papuntang elevator kaya sumunod na lamang siya. Gamit ang paa ay isa-isa niyang dinampot ang mga damit na nakakalat.

Nang lingunin ito ni Beck ay tila nag-slow motion ang paligid. Am I seeing things? Why is everyone got into a slow motion and his eyes stuck with her, and hella she's gorgeous and intimidating. Using her toes picking up her dresses. Oh fuck! She did not mean of seducing him but damn! Sumisikip ang suot niyang boxers, he felt a sudden urge between his thighs and his loins aching mabuti na lang at may takip na tuwalya roon.

Hantaran niyang hinagod ng tingin ang buong katawan nito. From her long legs, a tanned skin, her curves, those breast that both seductive and the line between them. Damn woman! Huwag nang idagdag pa ang itim at mahabang buhok marahang na winawagay-way ng hangin. The woman is so close from perfection. And her black eyes are the most enticing part na tila hinihigop nito ang buong pagkatao ko. No, from the other day he saw her eyes are cobalt at ngayon ay black, was she wearing a contact lens? Pero hindi iyon ang concern niya, kahit anong kulay ng mga mata nito ay bumabagay rito but the damn cobalt eyes, hindi niya maikakailang tila denisenyo ng Diyos ang kulay na iyon para kay Addison.

Beck can't believe they still produce this kind of woman. Everything in her is so perfect. She walks towards him with glamour on her front. Bakit ngayon niya lang nakita ang babaeng ito? Kung hahayaan ng panahon ay nanaisin niyang manatili sa tabi nito at huwag nang bumalik pa kay Lylia. But the woman was so vulnerable at the moment kaya ay sandali lamang siya rito para magpaalam na ilang araw siyang mawawala sapagkat babantayan niya si Lylia sa ospital.
