Dangerous Desire

Chapter 1

Coleen's POV

Umahon ako sa pool nang matapos 'kong languyin nang sampung beses ang kabuuan ng pool. I sat one of the chairs while removing my goggles. I was panthing and out of air.

"Done kana Coleen?"

I looked at the back and I smiled when I saw my swimmate who just arrived. She's one of my closest friends and aside from that we're classmate. Her name is Jackie and we've been friends since we were kids.

"Yep. Na late ka yata?"

"I woke up late e."

She walked going to the pool and she had her dive. She started swimming and I am just watching her. Isa siya sa mga pinakamagaling na kasama ko rito. Halos siya ang kasabayan ko na inilalaban sa ibang provinces and even sa ibang bansa. I stood up from my chair and I walked towards the corner.

"Jackie, una na ako!" I shouted and she stopped swimming. She looked at me and she waved her hand.

"Ingat!"

I went to our locker room at kinuha ko ron ang pamalit kong damit. I immediately took a shower and dressed up. Nang matapos ako ay saka lumabas ng Wavy. Wavy is a swimming center at dito na ako lumaki sa pagti-training. My Mom continued enrolling me here hanggang sa maging free na ang membership ko dahil sa pagiging swimming player ko. They are the one who's sponsoring me now.

I sat in the waiting shed. Nilabas ko ang cellphone ko dahil dito ako susunduin ni Kuya Ivan. He didn't have a swimming training right now dahil busy siya sa acads. Exam week daw nila e. He is a college student so he needs to focus pa rin naman sa acads niya even though he's an athlete.

He is one of the bests swimming athlete that I know. Actually, national athlete na siya e. He always competes around the world representing our country which is the Philippines. Ganoon siya kagaling kaya gusto kong sundan ang mga yapak niya. 'Yun nga lang na-late na siya ng two years sa pag aaral niya. Dapat graduate na siya e kaso nang dahil sa swimming nahuli na ito pero okay lang naman daw. He is a third year college student now, habang ako naman ay first year senior high.

May huminto na sasakyan sa harapan ko at nang tignan ko ito ay hindi 'to sasakyan ni Kuya Ivan. Bumukas ang pinto at nagulat ako nang makita ko si Aster. Sumilip din naman si Cole na nasa passenger seat at kumaway sa akin. Mabilis akong tumayo at bumaba ng sasakyan si Aster. Pinagbuksan niya ako ng pinto na nagpangiti sa akin. Gentleman talaga kahit kailan.

"Thank you." Nakangiti na sabi ko at tinapik nito ang balikat ko.

Pumasok ako sa loob at sinara niya ang pinto. Mabilis naman akong hinarap ni Cole. He pouted his lips and I moved forward so he can kiss my cheeks.

"Bakit kayo ang nandirito?" Tanong ko nang makaupo na ako nang maayos.

"Busy si Kuya. Gumagawa raw ng thesis kaya kami na ang nandirito at sinusundo ka."

"Bait naman."

"Kami pa ba? Sus."

This must be Aster's family car. If you are wondering if wala pa ba kaming own car ni Cole ang masasabi ko na lang ay oo, wala pa. We got into an accident last year, kaya ayon. Cole was driving at nabangga niya kaming apat. We were with Aster at Dwayne. Mom told us na no car for us. Si Kuya Ivan lamang ang meron sa aming magkakapatid. I don't know if kailan magkakaroon si Cole. Si Dwayne at Aster naman ay nadamay din dahil sa accident na 'yon. Imbes na bibigyan na ng own car si Aster last year, na-cancel tuloy. Well ako, okay pa naman ako sa pag ga-grab at taxi. In fact, hatid sundo naman din kami ni Daddy e.

Aster started driving at napasigaw ako sa gulat nang may tumapik sa balikat ko. Lumingon ako at nakita ko si Dwayne na mukhang kakagising lang.

"Papatayin mo ba ako sa gulat?"
