Play With Fire Not My Heart

Part 11

Natasha's POV

It's been a fast moving week. Maayos na naidaos ang fashion show. Marami ang mga napahanga sa mga likha ni Alexandra. There's nothing I can complain about, I've been pampered by their company and everything just felt great. Except for the turmoil I'm feeling inside. Alexandra has been avoiding me mercilessly. Ni hindi tumitingin sa akin at pakiramdam ko ay may nagawa akong kasalanan. I tried to approach her but when I did she turned her back on me and talked to other people instead. How I've felt being invisible, I just want to be seen, not just by any other people but her. How I long for her eyes to meet mine. I guess I got it really bad. I'm falling hard and I can't help it. But this can't be, I need to divert my attention.

I was staring hard at the menu when suddenly I heard someone cleared their throat. "Are you ready to order?" Anthony asked me.
Anthony is the son of one of my mother's friends. They've been pairing us since we were kids and we were best of friends ever since. I just can't see myself loving him more than a brother. I just want somebody to forget what I've been going through with a certain woman.
"Yes". I answered. Anthony is dashing. He got this handsome smile with a little dimple on his left side of his lips. And the way he's smiling at me right now makes every girl swoon. "You know, I've been waiting for this moment. What's with you this time and that long face?" He asked with that twinkle in his eyes.
"I'm avoiding someone and I think you're my best choice of distraction." I told him honestly.
"Ouch, whoever that person you're avoiding must've been so intolerable for you to avoid them. What is it this time?" He exclaimed.
If you only knew, I said in my mind. "It's just that I can't stand her, I mean them." I blurted out instead.
"A woman?" He asked.
"Mm-hmm. It's just that I can't stand her. It seems like she's everywhere. It irritates me, that feeling of wanting to strangle her every time she's near, but I'm doing the opposite. That feeling of wanting to slap her and put some sense in her brain but doing something else to embarrass myself. Yung pakiramdam na gusto ko siyang mawala sa paningin ko pero hinahanap ko ang kanyang mga mata kapag hindi siya nakikita. I just want to hide from her, but I also want to be seen by her." I confided.
He's staring at me intently this time. "What?" I asked.
"You're falling, and there's nothing you can do about it but embrace it." He concluded.
The terror and horror of hearing those things from Anthony. I'm distracting myself from my dilemma but it's bouncing back to me!
"You mean it's alright with you? I mean I'm so torn by what I'm going through right now. I just want to run away from her. She's been avoiding me and I don't know why." I told him.
"Maybe she likes you too." He teased me.
"Of course not! That's impossible. She's with another woman. Anyways thank you for always hearing me out. You're not shookt about it and I'm wondering why." I diverted the topic.
"Never in my imagination that you'll fall to a woman, but I guess I'm cool with it. I've known you since we were kids and I know you just like the palms of my hands. No matter what you do and how you avoid this certain woman, you won't win against yourself." He said. "So why not just embrace it?" He added.
That made me think. Should I pursue it?
"And actually there's this woman murdering me with her eyes ever since we walked in this place". He told me.
Napalingon ako sa sinabi ni Anthony, at ayun nga ang babaeng laman ng aming usapan. Huling huli ko ang matalim niyang tingin kay Anthony at ang pagbaling niya ng kanyang mga mata papunta sa akin. Nakakakuryente, ganito ko maihahalimbawa ang sensasyong aking nadarama nang magtama ang aming mga mata. Nakatitig lang siya sa akin na wari ko'y may nais siyang ipahiwatig.
"So that's her, ha." Anthony exclaimed.
Doon ako natauhan at tumingin nang muli sa aking kaibigan.
"Yeah, that woman. She infuriates me." I told him.
"And makes you horny?" He teased.
"Sira." I told him and playfully slapped him on his arm.
"If really looks could kill. I'd be long dead by now." He said while looking behind me.
"Don't mind her, let's just go. I just need to go to the comfort room." I told him.
"Alright, I'll wait for you. I'll just settle our bills." He said.
"Here, my card. Use it." I told him.
"Nah, leave it on me. My treat for you lover girl." He teased me again while chuckling.
I just rolled my eyes and proceeded to the comfort room.

I'm sitting at the toilet seat when somebody knocked on the door.
"Somebody's here!" I exclaimed.
"Open up." That voice. I'll recognized it anywhere.
I froze. I'll be deaf by the loud beating of my heart.
"Open up." She repeated.
I stood up and fixed myself then opened the door when suddenly a warm, long and soft arms wrapped around my waist and her lips suddenly on my ear.
"Who was that?" She asked with a hint of anger, possessiveness and jealousy(?) in her voice.
It seems like words left my tongue and my brain can't pathom any words with our proximity.
"Who.was.that?" She repeated while planting feather light kisses on my kneck and biting my skin.
"I-uh I.." I stammered.
"You're saying?" She asked with a devilish grin on her mouth.
"Ughh. W-why, why do you care? It's none of your business." I managed to blurt out.
This made her more infuriated because I felt her teeth sank a little on my neck which made me whimper in pain and pleasure.
"S-stop." I tried pushing her away.
But she held me tighter and intentionally bit my ear lightly then ran her tongue to my neck then kiss the spot she bit.
I'm in ecstasy and my knees feel like jello. There's nothing I can do but hold on tighter on her arms.
How my body is betraying me is frustrating. I'm clouded in lust that I just want to kiss her desperately.
But my thought is cut short when I felt her soft lips on mine, she bit my lower lip sensually and heard the sexiest moan coming out her lips. When I had the time to process it, it's gone. Her lips are gone on mine.
I grabbed the front of her shirt to pull her lips on mine but she stopped me. How I want to whine.
"So tell me, who's that man with you." She asked, demanding for an answer.
I closed my eyes tightly and pursed my lips. "Anthony, my best friend." I told her.
She's intently looking at my lips and upon hearing my answer she pushed her way to my lips again. This time all the rational thought flew out the window and I return her kisses back with ferocity. All I hear is the beating of my heart and the sucking and kissing sound that come from us. She parted ways with me but upon filling my lungs with air, I pulled her again, this time me sucking and biting her lips.
"Stop, please stop." She plead.
"If you keep on doing it, you might get up naked on your butt on that toilet seat with your legs wide open and me in the middle feasting on you." She warned.
Oh. How that thought flooded my underwear with wetness.
