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

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: BAD BLOOD

'coz baby now we got bad blood
You know, we used to be mad love

so take a look what you've done
' coz baby now we got bad blood

now we got problems
and I don't think we can solve 'em

You made a very deep cut
and now we got bad blood

band-aids don't fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show

If you live like that
Blood runs cold...
---Bad Blood, Taylor Swift

"tol, tingnan mo nga yang si Boss. kanina pa yan ganyan."

dinig nyang sabi ng mga tauhan nya kinaumagahan. sya na naman ang napiling pag-tsisimisan ng mga ito, que mga lalaking tao pero tsismoso. napailing na lang sya sa mga naririnig mula sa kanila na kung hindi lang nya matagal ng kakilala at kaibigan, baka kanina nya pa pinagsisibak sa trabaho.

"oo nga, ano? para syang naaaning na ewan. anyare kaya kagabi?"

"baka naka-iskor! tingnan mo nga oh, anlawak ng ngiti nya. bihira yan, akala mo."

sabay na humagalpak ng tawa ang dalawa at naghahampasan pa. she just rolled her eyes and shook her head. trust Amir and Tobias to be the shop's own version of the dumb and dumber and you'll never be disappointed.

but she smiled cheekily nonetheless. She indeed had a wonderful night. yun na marahil ang pinaka-masayang paglabas nya ng bahay na may kasama. magmula nung mamuhay syang mag-isa, sanay na syang magliwaliw on her own. hindi rin naman nya laging nahihilang pumasyal ang mga tauhan dahil may sarili ring pamilya ang mga ito.

She had kissed countless of women's lips and get in through the barriers of their clothing, but she never felt that very strange feeling she felt with Dulcinea that night. It was like a rush, a sudden surge of feelings so peculiar yet not so foreign. yun bang pakiramdam na hindi mo maiwasang maramdaman kahit bago sa 'yo ang ganung mga bagay.

she absentmindedly bit her lower lip and she can't avoid but to feel hot all over. napaypay nya tuloy ang isang kamay sa sarili ng biglang uminit ang pakiramdam nya. ibinaba nya ang hood ng sasakayan at naupo doon.

hindi biro ang pagpigil nya sa sariling wag itong galawin. Dulcinea has this alluring, seductive and sensual beauty so exotic---one will literally drool upon seeing her. John Mayer wasn't lying when he said that a woman's body is like a wonderland. and Dulcinea is the living, sexiest proof of that.

It was her fear as old as time that put all her urges to a stop. nangibabaw ang takot nya at pangamba na baka pandirihan sya ni Dulcinea sa oras na malaman nito ang pinakatago-tago nyang lihim.
