Whelve (Frisson Series 3)

CHAPTER 5

Bumagsak ang panga ko at naglakbay ang malamig na bagay sa likod ko. She looks at me without any emotions. Kumurap-kurap ako at hindi makapaniwala sa mga salita na lumabas mula sa bibig niya.

Marahan kong binaba ang cup noodles sa center table dahil sa panghihina ng kamay. Sa lahat ng tao sa mundo, si Cres ang huling taong iniisip kong makakaalam ng katauhan kong iyon.

"W-What are you saying?" I act dumb even though I'm shaking inside because of nervous.

"Your voice. In the waiting shed, I know already that you're Sol Invictus by your voice."

"You can't accuse me without proper evidence."

"Sinabi mo 'yan na para bang kilala mo si Sol Invictus. Tell it, Bryn. You're him."

Natuyo ang lalamunan ko at tila nawalan ako ng karapatan sa sarili kong boses. Her gaze declaring that she knows it already and I can't escape her anymore.

I bit my lower lip. I don't want to disappoint her. Ano'ng iisipin niya sa lalaking nag m-mariang palad habang may nanonood sa kaniya? Siguro iniisip niya na ngayon na maniac ako.

Suddenly, a lightbulb lightened up.

"You…" naningkit ang mata ko. "You're watching me?"

Ngumisi s'ya at nag kibit balikat.

"Let's have a deal, Bryn. I know your secret. I also have evidence. You don't want me to expose you. Be my model and I'll keep your secret forever."

Determination written on her face. Hindi ko maiwasang mamangha sa kaniya. I rested my arms on the sofa's backrest. I advanced my face and watched her not even bother with me.

"Are you blackmailing me?" I asked with amusement.

"Beat me, Bryn. I can expose you."

I twisted my lips. She may be cunning but I know how to play her game. A cunning woman like her, deserves a cunning man like me.

"You can expose me, Cres. I don't care." Marahan kong hinawi ang takas na buhok sa mukha niya.

If she asked me to be her model without blackmailing. Mabilis pa sa alas kwatro ang pag payag. Lahat siguro ng hihilingin niya ay ibibigay ko ng walang pagdadalawang isip. But she showed me this side of hers which I find amusing.

"Walang mawawala sa akin. Mas lalo lang akong sisikat at makikilala ang channel ko."

"I'm not joking around. Gagawin ko talaga ang bagay na iyon."

"Go on. Also tag me." I smirked at her.

Mariin s'yang tumingin sa akin. Her jaw tenses. Sinubukan niyang lumayo sa akin ngunit hinila ko ang bewang niya papalit sa akin.

"What the fuck—"

"I'm curious. Bakit mo ako pinapanood, hmm?"

Masama niya akong tinignan at sinubukan kumawala sa akin ngunit mas hinila ko lang s'ya lalo papalit sa akin. She bit her lower lip. I almost groaned. Fuck I want this little lips of her wrapped around my sharp.

"Did I satisfy you? Give me a review. I'll be good next time, promise."

She just rolled her eyes. Ngumisi ako at hinaplos ang malambot niyang labi. God knows how badly I want to smash my lips to hers.

"Let's have a deal. Do you want me to be your model, right?"

Masama niya akong tinignan ngunit tumango pa rin s'ya. I chuckled because of her cuteness.

"I can be your model."

"What condition?" She raised a brow.

"Be my fuck buddy. You can do whatever you want to my body, and vice versa."
