Dark Desires (Vicious Series 1)

Chapter Nine

Katulad nga ng sinabi ni Adrian kahapon ay nagpunta kami ng mall, pero bago iyon ay nagpunta muna kami sa opisina ni Mr. Zamora para sa session ko.

We're here now at the mall choosing dresses for the party. Pagtapos ng one and a half hour session ko ay dumiretso na agad kami rito. I'm wearing baggy sweaters and baggy pants and for my eyes, I wore shades. Naka disguise pa rin ako dahil sabi nga ni Adrian ay para iyon sa safety ko.

"May napili ka na ba?" tanong niya sa akin at saka hinaplos ang buhok ko.

"Hmm... can't choose. Lahat sila magaganda,"

"Hmm... okay,"

I felt his hard chest on my back as he kissed my hair. I flushed.

Okay, fuck it. We're not friends. Alam kong hindi ganito ang dapat na maging 'interaction' ng magkaibigan. Damn, sinong magkaibigan ang maglalambingan at maghahalikan? Unless you're in a friends with benefits relationship.

The kiss we did yesterday. It still lingers in my memory. His words, his whispers, his gestures, the way my body set on fire just by the mere touch of his hand. Surely, this is not what 'friends' supposed to do. Hindi na rin naman ako bata para hindi malaman ang mga ganitong bagay.

And I'm well aware that the way my body respond to his touches was because I lust for him, it's not love.

"Can I help you choose?" tanong niya habang hinahaplos ang buhok ko. I can feel his gaze on me but I didn't bother to give him a look.

Hindi naman sa naiilang ako sa kaniya or hindi kumportable. It's just that... I can feel the sexual tension between us and it bothers me to hell.

Naglibot-libot pa ako sa botique. Napunta kami ni Adrian sa dulo ng boutique. Doon ko rin nakita ang dress na gusto ko. It was a gold bodycon dress. Its satin fabric was glowing against the light. It's a simple dress with slit on its left side. Cow neck din ang style. Mataas ang slit niyon and that made the dress look sexy. It was backless as well. I fell in love to the dress by first sight.

Hinawakan ko iyon at kinuha sa pinagsasampayan.

I smiled then turned my head to show it to Adrian. Para akong bata na nagpapakita ng laruan sa tatay niya habang pinapakita ang dress sa kaniya. Tinatawanan niya lang naman ako.

"Let's go to the fitting room and see if it fits," nakangiti niyang saad.

"For sure it will," I smiled then looked at the dress again.

"Yeah... it will," makahulugan niyang sambit.

I cocked my eyebrows but he just shrugged. Hindi ko na lang pinansin at pumunta na sa fitting room para isukat ang dress.

I have so many dresses at the mansion. Pero hindi ko alam kung bakit tuwang-tuwa ako sa dress na ito. Maybe I'm just happy and I appreciate someone buying things for me.

Kasama ko naman si Lily kung namimili ako ng mga damit. Nililibre niya rin ako, pero hindi ko alam kung bakit ngayon lang ako sobrang tuwa.

Tinignan ko ang sarili ko sa salamin. The dress fits me well. I can see my curves. It compliments my body structure and facial features. Mas na-hahighlight niyon ang hubog ko. Mahaba rin iyon na umabot hanggang talampakan ko.

Maputi ako. My long wavy brown hair and my ash grey eyes stands out because of the dress. Napangiti ako saka lumabas upang ipakita kay Adrian.

"Look," I turned around. "Isn't it pretty?" nakangiti kong saad.

Seryoso niya lang akong tinignan. His eyes are locked on my eyes. He roamed his gaze on my body. Bahagya naman akong nahiya pero hindi ko pinakita. Nang mapatapat ang tingin niya sa akin ay ngumiti siya.
