As if a sudden jolt of electricity had coursed through her veins leaving her momentarily stunned. Her kissable red lips become pale as a chalk-white. She doesn't know what kind of crap she has stepped in but she knows that it's too late to get her foot back into it.
"So you know her, Hes? Care to introduce your friend?" he uttered but obviously, he was just playing with her. He wants to let her know how powerful he is but the problem is, Yezennia doesn't give a damn.
Yezennia throws a deadly warning to Hesley; making him scratch his back. He gapes at Aldrich with apologies written in his eyes, "Mahirap na galitin ang dragona, Sir. At baka mabugahan pa tayo ng apoy."
"Okay lang iyan baka masunog pa ako. Sayang din itong mukha ko." He joked and taps Hesley's shoulder comforting him that it is okay. He grins since he will still get her name eventually.
He knows how to be a gentleman too but she kept on piquing his interest. A blush on her cheeks amuse him; urging him to see more of them. It feels like a single blush can make his nerve awake and his heart thumps louder.
"If you have a lot of spare time, pwede na ba akong mauna? Mas mahalaga kasi sa akin ang trabaho ko." Masungit na wika ng dalaga at inirapan ang katabi ni Hesley na ngayon ay hindi pa rin makuha-kuha ang mata sa kaniya.
Tumalikod na siya at nakailang hakbang na ngunit huminto siya, "And I don't have any single interest in politics unless they have hidden crimes." She raised her eyebrows; making sure he was well informed of her warning to not get into her ways.
He didn't even flinch at her threat, otherwise, he find her tantalizing. It is the first time in his entire life to meet this kind of woman who is not intimidated by his presence. He expected that she will flirt with him knowing he's from a wealthy family in town but he was surprised that she didn't.
It's just her every move is unpredictable. Her appeal is at a different level and her strong sense of independence is inevitably unique as a blue diamond.

The Supermarket fills with a copious amount of buyers. Some are buying groceries that are good for a one-month supply and some are picking anything that catches their eye. Some buyers meticulously scrutinize each product before they add them to their carts.
While customers are busy buying the whole premises is invaded by music playing; Play with Fire by Sam Tinnesz feat Yacht Money.
"Magnanakaw!" umalingawngaw ang malakas na boses ng isang babae sa loob.
Agad naman dumayo ang mga mamimili sa isang matandang babae na ngayon ay nakadapa na sa sahig.
Malungkot ang mata nito nang kapain ang bulsa sa suot na apron, "Ang wallet ko wala na! Nandoon pa naman ang allowance ng apo ko para sa pasukan!"
Umiyak ito habang napatitig nalang sa bulto ng lalaki na tumatakbo palabas ng Supermarket.
Hindi niya na kaya pang habulin iyon dahil sa kaniyang katandaan, "Paano na kami ngayon? Budget pa naman namin iyon sa buong linggo." Puno ng pag-aalalang sambit nito.
Mabilis na nakalabas ang lalaki sa loob ng Supermarket. Walang lingon at walang tigil pa rin ito sa mabilis na pagtakbo habang mahigpit na hawak ang wallet na kaniyang dinampot sa loob.
Tumungo ito sa grupo ng mga bahay na nakatayo sa gilid ng daan. Nang makakita ng eskinita ay huminto ito doon.
Lumingon muna ito sa kanan at kaliwa bago ngumisi at buksan ang wallet na kaniyang ninakaw sa kawawang matanda.
Agad na kumunot ang noo nito nang makita na tatlong daan lang ang laman ng wallet na iyon, "Malas! Sana 'yong isang matanda nalang mas may pera iyon kung titignan!" Sambit niya at ibinulsa ang pera.
Sumipol pa ito habang papalabas sa eskinita ngunit napatigil ito nang may dalawang lalaki na umaabang sa kaniya sa dulo.
Nakasuot ang mga ito ng jacket at matalim na nakapukol sa kaniya ang mga mata.
"Bwisit!" Mura niya nang makilala kung sino ang mga ito.
"Sabi ko sayo huwag ka ng uulit pero ang tigas ng ulo mong hayop ka!" Sigaw nito at mabilis na hinabol siya.
"Bantayan mo doon! Ako na ang bahala sa insektong ito!" utos ng isang lalaki sa kasama nito.
Kaagad naman na tumakbo ang huli sa kabaligtarang direksiyon.
Butil-butil na ang pawis ng lalaki habang tumatakbo. Hindi siya pwedeng magpahuli sa mga iyon at kailangan niyang iligaw ang mga ito!
The two men converge in the intersection; they both came from an opposite direction yet they don't see any sign of theft.
They curse each other for failing to catch the suspect. After that, both of them grab their cell phones at the same time and calls the police station.
On the other side of the street, the man grins because the police were not able to catch him, "Those idiots, they weren't able to catch me again," he smiles like an evil spirit who just escaped from hell.
He cheerfully looks around and whistles while his hand is on his black jacket. Looking for another victim but before he steals money again, someone taps his shoulder.
He turns around, his eyebrow raises when a girl wearing a black trench coat appears in his eyes.
He smirks again when his eyes landed on her pretty face.
She has crystal-clear skin that even cockroaches will slide the moment they will perch on her cheeks. A small bridged nose and cutesy heart shape lips paired with dark gray eyes.
Napangisi muli ang lalaki, "Ang ganda mo, Miss ah? Naliligaw ka ba? Gusto mo bang samahan kita?" sunod-sunod na tanong niya sa dalaga habang may masamang binabalak sa isipan.
A smile escapes her lips, "Ikaw, ang gusto kong samahan." She replied in a low tone voice; trying to censor her anger.
He motions to put his hand on her waist though Yezennia is fast as a bolt of striking lightning. She grabs his arm forcibly and twisted them.
"Gusto kitang samahan sa presento," she uttered, making sure he will not have any chance to run away.
The man whines from the excruciating pain. He tries to take away his hands but the more he defies it, the more pain he could feel.
"You are being arrested for thievery, shoplifting ang pilferage. You have the right to remain silent. If you do say anything, it can be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to have a lawyer present during questioning and if you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you if you so desire." She finishes him off by handcuffing him.
"Akala mo makakatakas ka!" wika ni Vendoiz na isa ding detektibo. Nakasunod rito si Maynard na kasama niya kanina.
"Nahuli niyo na sana iyan kanina kung hindi lang kayo mahihina." Tugon ng dalaga na siyang nagpalingon sa dalawang lalaki.
Tumingin si Maynard kay Vendoiz na katulad niyang hindi makapaniwala sa narinig.
Ilang segundo ay tumango na din ang katabi at tinapik si Vendoiz sa balikat, "Tama nga naman si Yezzenia, Tol. Mahiya ka naman, babae pa nakahuli rito!"
"At ano tingin mo sa sarili mo? Bakla?!" Inis na ani ni Vendoiz sa katabi at umiiling na tiningnan si Yezennia.
Yezzenia beams when the two keep on arguing inside.
She inverts her sight and they pass on the familiar vehicle that stations meters away from the patrol car.
"Hindi pa ba tayo uuwi, Sir?" Tanong ni Junard sa among nakatingin lang nang deritso.
Nagtaka siya kaya sinundan niya kung saan ito nakatingin.
Nang makita niya ang babaeng maputi at may kulay-kape na maalong buhok ay ngumisi ang lalaki, "Shawty na naman Sir ah!"
