Revenge of the Villainess

28-Video Scandal

JOHN heard her sobs from outside the door where he stayed after leaving the room. Ayaw naman talaga niyang umalis ng silid na iyon ngunit gusto niyang kumain si Janessa kaya't pinili na lang niyang lumabas muna. Nang marinig niya ang paghikbi nito sa loob, gusto niyang bumalik sa silid para pakalmahin si Janessa ngunit hindi niya alam kung makakabuti ba ang presensiya niya o mas makakasama pa.

Contrary to what others believe, meeting Janessa was like a miracle for John. Sa mundo niyang puro trabaho at negosyo, she brought happiness to his life. As cliche as it may sound, Janessa made his life complete.

John was on his way to meet his sister when he saw a lady drop her phone. Nasagi ito ng mga nagtatakbuhang lalaki papasok ng Campus Hall. Mula sa paglalakad ay patakbo siyang tumawid ng crosswalk para tulungan ang babae. She looked disoriented and need some help.

"Hey! Watch where you're going! You bunch of rowdy kids! You didn't even apologize! Come back here!"sigaw niya. Narinig niya ang pagsosorry ng dalawa sa mga nagtakbuhang lalaki.

Eksaktong nag-connect ang call niya sa kapatid niya.

"Kuya, my bestfriend Janessa will be meeting you instead. She's there in front of the Campus Hall. I remember sending you her photo before, right?"

Hindi na nakasagot si John dahil nauntog ang babaeng iyon sa poste sa may likuran nito. He was right in front of her when he asked, "Are you alright?"

Biglaan ang pag-ikot ng babae at nang makita ni John ang mukha nito ay napanganga siya. She looked gorgeous in person. He was brought back to his senses by a crunching sound. Natapakan ng babae ang cellphone nitong nahulog sa concrete pavement. Inangat nito ang paa at muntikang matumba kung hindi siya nahila ni John.

"Kuya? Sinong kausap mo? Bakit hindi ka na nagsalita?" naririnig pa rin niya ang kapatid sa kabilagn linya dahil hawak pa rin niya at nakadikit sa tainga ang cellphone. Hindi niya ito masagot dahil preoccupied siya at that moment.

Sa pagpulupot ng kaliwang braso niya sa babaeng iyon para sagipin ito sa pagkakahulog ay iba ang nahulog.

He felt her soft body pressing on him. He smelled her sweet cologne na parang nakakaadik at gusto lang niyang singhutin. What made him lose all sense of sanity was the feel of her lips on his. Para siyang namahika nang magdikit ang katawan at mga labi nila. He saw her close her eyes and when she slightly opened her lips, he took that as an invitation to move his lips on hers and kiss her passionately. Every stroke of his lips on her made him feel lighter as if he was floating. He dropped his phone so he could hold her nape. She shivered with the touch of his hand on her neck. She was in a trance just like him but after a few seconds, she started kissing him back. He pulled her body closer as he kissed her deeply. He could feel both of their heavy breathing. Pakiramdam ni John ay tatalon palabas ng dibdib niya ang puso niya sa lakas ng pagtibok nito.

He wanted to keep kissing her but then his phone rang. Nasa may paanan ito ni John. Nang mahulog ang phone ay marahil nag-end din ang call niya kay Jonna. The ring of his phone made the woman push him.

Napakapit ito sa labi at nagpalinga-linga sa paligid. She covered her face and took her bag na nahulog na rin. She was about to walk away from him nang hawakan ni John ang braso ng babae. She looked at him and she looked like she's in shock. Namumula rin ang mukha nito at mga labi. He was distracted by her lips but he needed to talk to her bago pa ito umalis.

"Janessa, right? I'm Jonna's brother."

Patuloy pa rin sa pag-ring ang phone ni John kaya't habang hawak ang braso ni Janessa ay yumuko siya at pinulot ang cellphone na nahulog.
