The Devil And Me

//Meet the King//

Reina's POV

Saturday ngayon kaya nagising ako ng mga 9:00 am. Wala nanaman si mom kaya home alone ako sa mansyon. I know! Magswi-swimming nalang ako sa pool. I got up from bed, changed into my dark blue two-piece swimsuit and went down stairs. Nagprepare muna ako ng aking breakfast which is a ham and cheese sandwich, bacon, and a hot cup of latte.

I proceed to the backyard where the pool is. I sat on the chair enjoying the shade of the big tree, I ate my breakfast deliciously and drank my latte. Pagkatapos kong kumain ay nagbasa muna ako ng book titled champion written by Marie Lu. Third book siya ng trilogy na legend, and I love the way the story goes. Nagbasa ako hanggang makapagpahindag then I dived in the pool.

Hindi sa nagmamayabang pero I'm a good swimmer. Ang pinaka-mababaw ay 4 feet then the deepest is 6.5 feet. I swam till my heart is contented. Medyo na-bore na ako after ng ilang oras kaya umahon na ako. I put on my silk robe then went in the house. Paakyat na ako ng kwarto ko nang may biglang nag-doorbell so I went to the door to check it out.

Binuksan ko yung pinto only to find a guy red as a tomato while looking at me. Alam kong namumula siya dahil kitang kita ang katawan ko dahil sa robe na suot ko, idagdag mo pa na basa ako kaya mas lalong nakikita ang katawan ko. I'm not embarrassed because I am confident with my body. I always exercise and I always eat little.

"What?" I said coldly.

Bumalik siya sa reyalidad at tumingin saakin plainly.

"The magazine making team wanted to do a photoshoot for the magazine since we were crowned as king and queen. Modeling for our school is one of the obligations for the winners to do, so they are waiting at the school for us. Get dressed, I'll wait for you." Sabi ng anonymous na lalaki.

"Who are you to boss me?" I asked in a bitchy tone.

"Febryx Raphael Williams, the one who is crowned as king." Sabi niya

"Ah, you're the one who dethroned Peter Jameson Roux." I stated with a smirk.

"Yes." Simpleng sabi niya

"I gotta admit that I am greatful for taking the title from him." Pagaamin ko.

"Really? Why?" Tanong niya

"Long story short, sinabihan niya ako na hindi ako fit para maging queen tapos sumali ako dahil nominated akong magrepresent then I badly wanna shove in his face that I'm good enough." I explained.

"I see. So, can I come in and wait while you get dressed." Suggest niya.

"Sure." I said as I smiled and let him in.

Wait. What! I just smiled at him. The fuck is wrong with me? Hindi ako basta bastang ngumingiti kung kani-kanino lang. Urgh!

I got in my room, took a bath then got dressed. I went down stairs to find a patient Febryx waiting for me.

"Let's go." Sabi ko.

"We'll take my car." Sabi niya habang pinagbuksan ako ng pintuan.

"Fine." I calmly said

Pumasok na kami sa sasakyan niya then he drove to the university and we both walked side by side.

"Hey, I didn't get to know how you found my house." Sabi ko

"The editor in chief sent your address to me at sinabi nga na kailangan nila tayo bilang models para sa magazine na gagawin nila. Every month sila nagre-release ng magazine kaya every month ay nakahanda tayo anytime na tawagin nila tayo." Sabi ni Febryx.

"Okay. I'll keep that in mind." Sabi ko.

"Oh. Since you're greatful to me for dethroning the past king, bakit hindi mo ako ilibre?" Sabi nito.

"Pardon?" Ako

"Come on! Its the least you can do. Kung wala ako edi panalo parin sana si Peter." Sabi niya.

"Hell no." Sabi ko

"Fine!" Sigaw niya

"On one condition." Dagdag nito

"What's that?" Tanong ko

"Simple, let's be friends." Cool siyang binanggit.

"Urgh! Alright!" I gave up.

So annoying. Tch.

"Yay!" Sigaw niya.

Sa wakas! Nakarating din sa club room ng team. Pinagpalit nila kami sa mga outfits na gagamitin para sa photoshoot. Ang theme ay being fit kaya ipapakita namin ang fit naming katawan. Naka sports bra ako, Nike pro shorts at airmax shoes. Si Febryx naman ay naka shirtless at naka Nike na basketball short at Nike sports shoes.

I'm very surprised since hindi halata ang built ng katawan ni Febryx when I saw him a little while, eight-pack abs, muscular arms. I didn't expect him to be so well built. We were both applied by oil so we look like we just got out from the gym. We both strike a pose like we were actually working out. Maraming shots ang kinuha na magkasama kaming dalawa tapos kumuha rin sila ng madaming photos na individual shots.

I never thought that the photoshoot took very long na pagkalabas namin ay gabi na. I felt my phone vibrate and saw that my mom messaged me. She said that she's coming home late because there are some papers needed to be signed.

Febryx drove me home and we bid goodbye. He even reminded me na magkaibigan na kami. What a childish person.
