Play With Fire Not My Heart

Part 1

-Natasha's POV-

I wiped the sweat from my forehead down to my neck as I keep running up towards the open road. I've been to my favorite spot from the other side of the city which is 20 minutes away from my condominium. The place is an eden for me because of its breathtaking beauty. Mula sa itaas kung nasaan ang national road ay isang makahoy na lugar kung nasaan ang water falls na lagi kong pinupuntahan tuwing umaga kapag may oras mula sa aking trabaho. The water is so refreshing specially at this early in the morning.
I ran fast as I reached the cemented road and I remember I have an appointment at 9:00 with one of the prestigious clothing company of the country. Remembering the field of work I am now in, I can't suppress the smile coming from my lips. It's been years since I've known as one of the best top model of the Philippines. I am now 25 and will turn 26 in just a couple of months. I sighed as I remember my mom nagging me about not having a love life since my relationship with my last boyfriend two years back.

"Anak, kailan mo ipapakilala sa amin ng iyong papa ang aming magiging future son-in-law?" Mom asked me the last time I spoke with her through the phone.

"Makikilala rin ninyo siya Ma, sa tamang panahon". I chuckeld when I copied that popular line from her favorite noon time variety show.

" I'm just too excited to meet him, sweetie." She said.

"But Mom, I haven't yet met somebody so don't be too excited to something na hindi pa nangyayari. At huwag kayong mag-alala ipapakilala ko agad sa inyo kapag may tao nang nakapagpatibok sa pihikang puso ng inyong napakagandang anak." I jokingly replied her and smile as I heard her chuckle.

"Oh siya, sige. Basta huwag mong papabayaan ang sarili mo. You know how your Dad and I love you so much, anak. Just keep in touch and call us if you need anything". She said as she bid her goodbye.

" Yes Mom. I love you too, the both of you . I'll call you again maybe tonight after work. Take care of yourselves". I replied as I hanged up.

After the long run I strode immediately inside the condominium building and waited for the elevator to open off to 11th floor where my place is. Good thing living in this luxurious place is that I don't need to bring keys anymore whenever I enter and exit my house. Thanks to the modern technology.
As I reach my door, I instantly pressed my code and rush to the bathroom and showered swiftly avoiding being late to my appointment.

After shower, I pulled out my red dress out of the closet and wear it. I gasp as I see my reflection on the mirror. I still can't believe I am this beautiful. I am not used to it and maybe I will never get used to it. I got my features from my Dad who is a german national. My eyes are green with a shade of black around it emphasizing its roundness. My nose is pointed, not big enough but just exactly to give justice with my naturally pink pouted lips like Angelina Jolie's. I've got my pale and smooth skin from my Dad too. Ika nga ng mga bago kong nakikilala parang hindi daw ako anak ni Mama which gets me pissed sometimes. My mother is a Filipina she is beautiful on her own ways too. It's just that mas malakas talaga ang dugong kano.

Going back to my reflection, I grabbed my make up kit and do my make-up then fix my hair next. Realizing it's near 9:00, I wore my stilettos, grabbed my purse and headed to the door exactly my phone rang. Expecting no other than my bestfriend Maya Alonzo is the caller who is also my manager. Older than me of 8 years.

"Handa ka na ba?" She asked immediately as I accepted the call.

"Yeah, pababa na ako ng building actually."

"Okay, see you there then. Bye!"

"Okay, see you!" I hang up then walked to my ferrarri and drove to my destination.
