Guard My Body

First Temptation

HAVING friends is totally absurd. They'll just hang out with you because of fame, beauty, power, and money. Some are gold diggers, famewhore, and social climbers. I can't understand why do they need to leech off someone. Can't they just work their ass off?

"Uy bff! How about this one?" Rinig kong sabi ng babaeng galing sa fitting room. She looks filthy rich but the other one is totally nuh-ah. I mean, okay she wears a louboutin pumps, prada bag and a versace glasses but. . .

Taas noo akong naglakad papunta sa kanilang dalawa.

"Ah miss! Hehe. Saan mo nabili yang sunnies mo? Ang ganda kasi." Plastic kong sabi.

Minata ako taas baba ng babae na tila sinusuri ang buong pagkatao ko lalo na ang suot ko.

I heard her say. " Rag."

Nagpantig ang tengga ko sa sinabi nito. Did she just insult my attire?

Porket naka addidas sports short, white v-neck shirt, yeezy boost at duffel bag lang ako?

Geez. Blockhead bitch.

Can't she guess na galing ako sa gym? Halatang social climber ang bruha. She can't even draw a line between authentic and pathetic.

Ngumiti din ito ng peke sa akin at sinabing, "I bought it in NY, Miss. I'm sure hindi mo afford. Versays kaya to."

I laughed hard as i could.

Really? Versays? Where in the world came that from? This bitch can't even pronounce it right.

Bigla namang nagtransform ang mukha nito. She's pissed i guess?

Tinignan ko ang paligid ng boutique. I snickered nang makita kong madaming tao dito and we're attracting some attentions, obviously.

"Ohh my bad. You mean, ver-sa-chi ? I'll just tell Donatella to lower the price if you say so. Hindi mo pala afford, eh? Kawawa ka naman. You couldn't afford an authentic one. I bet yang prada bag mo ay galing sa UK? Or should i say ukay-ukay?" I said using my bitch tone.

Napayuko ang babae sa sobrang pagkapahiya. Some people laughed and the others were whispering insults.

I clenched my teeth.

I couldn't stop myself from fighting back just because she called me a 'Rag'.

A few memories came flashing on my mind.

"When will you grow up, Rio?! If you wanna get that low, don't drag our name into it! I can't believe i even picked up a rag like you."

Masakit. Masakit pakinggang ang nga salitang yan lalo na kung galing ito sa nanay mo. Not biologically though. It makes me feel so worthless everytime she spouts those words.

It's piercing right through my heart.

Without any second thought. . .

I rushed out of the boutique.

Hinagilap ko ang aking susi habang naglalakad patungo sa aking kotse na nakaparada.

When i got there some goon-looking people were sitting on my car. Six to be exact.

A sudden feeling of fear enveloped me.

Just by looking at their faces. . . I know they're up for something.

And it's not good. Really not good.

Nagtama ang mata namin ng isang sa kanila.

He flashed a disgusting smile. Creepy indeed.

"Pre, ayan na pala si Miss oh!" Pagtawag nito sa mga kasama.

Nagsitawanan silang lahat. That rose my defense mechanism. . . and it's to run as fast as i could.

Tumakbo ako without looking back. Can i call someone?

Who could i ask for help?

Reality hit me when i remembered that my phone was not in my bag. It's inside my freaking car!

Panic gushed through my veins.
Hindi ko na alam kung nasaan ako. I kept running and running. I want to scream for help pero hindi ako tanga para gawin iyon.

They would locate me kapag sumigaw ako. And that was a no brainer plan.

Naisipan kong huminto nang wala na akong marinig na yabag.

Sana huminto na sila.

But. . . Who are those guys?

I didn't do anything against them. Hell! I couldn't even remember.

I'm a bitch but i chose when will i throw a fit or to who would i bitch out.

I sighed in relief nang masiguro kong wala na sila.

I looked around to see if the area is clear. I need to get out of here fast. Ni hindi ko nga alam kung nasaan ako.

I stepped out of the lane where i was hiding.

But suddenly. . . An arm caught my waist and pulled me back while his other hand were on my mouth trying to supress my voice.

Nakatalikod ako dito habang ang likod ko ay nakalapat sa malapad nitong dibdib.

I can't see his face.

"Better shut your mouth, Lady." The man who pulled me said.

His mouth was pressed against my left ear making me shiver not in fear . . .

but in passion.

His masculine scent caught my attention. I know whose fragrance is this.

Although lasing ako. . .

I can still clearly remember his face, his smell, his built and most importantly. . .his scorching eyes that made my knees wobled.

The feeling that dominated my body was. . .

Desire.
