AURORA/DULCINEA(METROPOLIS HEIRS IV: ZAI DEL FUEGO)

CHAPTER SEVEN: SEDUCTRESS

"Dulcinea!!!"

she winced upon hearing her gay manager's shriek in the living room of her Beverly Hills Villa. she came out of her Jacuzzi bath with her robe on and a towel on her head.

"seriously, Donita. you could wake up the dead with your shriek. you sound like a banshee." she said and scoffed on her egyptian rug laiden sofa, legs crossed.

"oh wow, your majesty. sorry naman, ha? napasugod lang naman ako dito dahil may isang guy na tawag ng tawag sa 'kin kagabi at nagalit pa ng malamang bakla ako! that idiot accused me of being a scammer and that you gave my number to him!" her manager is almost hysterical saying those things. natawa tuloy sya dito.

"how dare you snigger at me like that! why on earth did you give him my number?!"
maktol nito na pinapadyak pa ang naka lobuotin heels na mga paa.

"relax, Donz. it's not as if he butchered you alive. and besides---he's hot. you can have him." aniya, caressing her white persian cat, Saza's smooth fur. she giggled as she imagine Donita with that douchebag.

napaka-selfish sa kama ng isang yun. ni hindi man lang inisip ang kaniig at siniguro lang ang sarili. she wouldn't even think of seeing that mongrel ever again.

"well i don't give a damn if he's hot, excusez moi! that scumbag is f*cking homophobic and he called me a f*gg*t! the nerve!"

galit na galit na turan nito at padabog na naupo sa katapat nyang sofa.

"what? he called you names like that?" umigting ang tenga nya sa narinig. she may be sometimes not in good terms with her manager, but she respected Donita a lot. ito ang tumulong na makasali sya sa America's Next Top Model na syang naging daan para sumikat sya ng husto.

and one more thing---she lived half of her life in New York, the city state that recognizes Same-Sex Marriage. she has a circle of LGBT friends and she's even close to Hollywood rainbow movement supporters like Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift.

she was disgusted with that Primo Del Fuego. mas tumindi ang pag-ayaw nyang makita ito ulit. that disgusting homophobic moron---she'll kick his balls if she sees him again.

"I'm sorry, Donz. 'di ko dapat ginawa yun, have i known he was a male bitch. i'm really sorry."

"forget it. may mga tao talaga na parang kanal ang pang-unawa. marumi at barado. straight people and their fascistic mindset. nakakasuka ang kuno'y pagiging righteous ng mga yun. banal na aso, santong kabayo. duh." Donita snapped, flipping his invisible locks. semi-kalbo kasi ito.

"anyway, wag na nating pag-usapan ang ulupong na yun. you didn't have s*x with him, do you?" tanong nito. 'di sya agad nakasagot. umilap ang mga mata nya.

"matr'de, Dulcinea! that's why you gave him my number! argh! tatanda ako ng 100 years sa 'yo!" the gay manager snapped. apologetic lang syang tumingin dito.

"nevermind. you have three appointments for today. invited ka sa premiere night ng pelikulang John Wick. second, you have a photoshoots with MAC. and lastly...w-well---i think...hindi mo na 'to dapat malaman. i'll turn this down." anito. wala syang pakialam kung may offer sa kanya na tinurndown nito. pero na-curious sya.

"what is it? tell me, Donita. you're not the type to turn down projects for me. now, spill." she said, crossing her arms on chest. her manager sighed.

"it's a...uhm, an offer for you... to be a host of Asia's Next Top Model." sagot nito.

"yan lang naman pala. accept it. ba't ayaw mo?" 'di rin nya minsan maintindihan ang baklang 'to.

"sigurado ka?" paniniyak pang tanong nito. she let go of an impatient breathe.

"seriously, Donita. what's with the suspense? you're weird." aniya na napailing lang.

"it's because of the reality modelling search's shooting location, Dulcinea. gaganapin ang ANTM sa Pilipinas."

silence reigned after that. wala ni isa sa kanilang dalawa ang nagsalita. then, Donita stood up and sit beside her-tapping her shoulder lightly.

"i'll just turn it down, then---"

"no." sagot nya at tumayo. lumapit sya sa veranda at nakatanaw sa pool area.

"but dahlin'---"

"tanggapin mo, Donita. i have nothing to fear. maybe it's time to excorcise my ghosts... and to bury the past."

hindi na sya natatakot pa.

wala syang dapat ikatakot.
**************

wala nang rason. it's been a decade since she turn her back on that country. from that painful moment she pack her bags and ride the plane for the first time- she never look back.

dahil wala namang dapat lingunin pa. walang magagandang alaala na dapat sariwain at balikan. walang saysay ang lumingon kung puro sakit lang ang idudulot nito sa iyo.

tinapik muli ni Donita ang balikat nya.

"the chauffer will be here in the afternoon. take a nap first. calm down, okay?"

tumango sya. umalis na ito, leaving her alone. she close her eyes and close the curtains again. she still has a lot of projects to do at ayaw nyang maapektuhan ang mood nya.

that afternoon, sa rooftop ng Sin Hotel ginanap ang photoshoot nya for a lipstick brand that she endorses. the shoot has a sensual touch of erotica as she wears nothing but the brand's SEDUCTRESS lipstick line and a pair of red jimmy choo stilletos. the only thing covering her nipples are a pair of band-aids. the "v" between her legs is covered with a smiley emoji card.

the shoot packed-up after an hour. she's currently removing her robe when a strong arms and a steely hard-on is pressed against her behind. when she look at the full length mirror, it was the photographer named Roman. a popular italian-american photography expert.

"Ive'd been having hots on you since Paris, Bella Dulcinea..." bulong nito sa tenga nya. kagat-labing napasandal sya dito.

"you talk too much, pepperoni boy. why don't you just do it?" she purred. the man smirked and remove her robe. he bent her forward and parted her legs---then pounded inside fast and hard.

ginagap ng italyanong amerikano ang nagtatalbugan nyang hinaharap at walang humpay syang binayo.

napaungol sya ng husto ng halikan nito ang batok at likod nya while ramming inside her deeply. napahawak sya sa stand ng vanity mirror at sinalubong ang mga ulos nito sa pagkababae nya mula sa likuran.

good thing that he wore a protection. talagang pinaghandaan ng gago ang mangyayari sa kanila.

they parted ways, satisfied. she just shrug.
