✔ How To Tame A Succubus

[07] Vela

"OH, MERLIN! Alam mo talaga kung anong paborito ko. Yes! Yes! Yes, I do! I'd love toooo!"

I raised at eyebrow at the petty girl's response. Sa iritasyon ko, talagang yumakap pa talaga siya kay Merlin! I scoffed, but I didn't think he noticed my sour mood. Busy pa siyang bigyan ng atensyon ang witch na walang sense of fashion.

What? Oh, come on! I have no doubt that she's wearing shabby clothes under that shabby crimson robe she has on.

Napairap na lang ako nang makita ang blush niya habang niyayakap a.k.a. sinasakal ang wizard in training. Nang sumilip ako sa kabilang gilid nila, napansin kong kumakain lang ng popcorn si Johannes, acting as if this was a normal sight.

Mas lalo lang akong nairita sa ideya.

'So, he doesn't mind being hugged by that wretched witch but he doesn't even want me to even touch him?'

Hindi ko namalayan na lalo akong napasimangot. Honey, a frown isn't good for a succubus like me. It gives me wrinkles and wrinkles aren't sexy!

"Wala namang nakaupo sa tabi mo, 'di ba? I'll just sit here beside you!"

I glared at them.

Sa unang pagkakataon mula noong lumitaw sa kung saan mang lupalop ng Eastwood ang babaeng nakalingkis sa kanya, Merlin finally turned to me. If there's anything that I've learned about him from the last 24 hours, it's that he has a talent for making his emotions. Hindi ko alam kung natural ba 'to sa kanya o nagsanay siya para rito, but for a brief moment, I saw that handsome mask crack.

His eyes flashed a spark of panic when the witch attempted to sit beside him---on the same spot I was sitting at!

The nerve of this human!

"Okay, tabi na tayo--!"

"NO!"

Doon na niya nakuha ang atensyon ng iba pang witches and wizards sa paligid. I boredly scanned the crowd and saw the accusation and judgement in their eyes. Sa tabi ko, halatang hindi inasahan ni Merlin ang atensyon. He may plan ahead for a lot of things (my seductive advances included) but he clearly didn't plan for an audience. Mahina akong natawa.

I watched Merlin's jaw clenched, a light blush on his cheeks as he assessed how to get out of this one.

He looks hotter when he's angry, but he looks simply irresistible when he's taken by surprise.

I smirked.

But soon, he wasn't the only one who was taken by surprise...

"No, because the ceremony is about to start soon."

Nakita ko kung paano siya ngumiti sa witch, giving her his undivided attention. Napanganga ako nang mag-360 degrees ang karisma ng wizard. I was speechless. He has this boyish look that I have no doubt can make any maiden swoon in admiration and curl in pleasure.

"I'm afraid I'll be too distracted if you sit beside me, Nian. Baka sa'yo lang ako tumitig buong seremonya."

What the hell?

Again, WHAT THE HELL?

Ngayon ko lang siyang nakitang lumandi! Ano bang magic ito?! Well, whatever it is, mukhang effective naman dahil naging kamatis na ang mukha ng witch.

"O-Oh! If that's the case, I-I'll just sit with my friends."

Just go.

"See you tomorrow then?"

Yuck.

"S-Sure!"

She sped away. I sighed. Finally, some peace! Umalis na rin ang witch na parang linta sa pagka-clingy kay Merlin. I honestly don't know how he can put up with such a human! Ano bang meron sa kanila at parang sanay na ang wizard sa ugali nito?
