Maine is your typical working girl. She prepares to work in the morning and goes home at night when she's done. It is pretty much her routine and she has no problem with it. She is a mundane girl with a mundane life. No matter what the people say, she doesn't care. So what? Deal with it.
For her, chasing after thrill only brings complications. And she doesn't want to have trouble with those. Thank you very much.
"Don't you really wish for something to spice up your life?" her friend asked.
"I am fine here... uncomplicated and totally in control." Maine replied. "Yes, I am boring like that."
"No, you aren't. You are just afraid to break away from the comfort of your routine." her friend quipped. "Kaya ako na lang magwi-wish for you. I wish for my friend to have an unexpected twist in her uninteresting life. You know me, Maine... Nagdidilang-anghel ako. Be careful of what I wish for, you might just get it." Maine shook her head as she watched her friend leave. Deep inside though, she was thinking what if... it indeed came true?
-----------
It is that time of the year again when the summer heat in the metro is unbearable as hell that Maine decided to take a break from work and booked her stay at her favorite place. Sunshine Summer House is Maine's favorite out-of-town getaway. She considered it as her home away from home. She had everything in her vacation all planned-out. She already had her schedule of activities. Lahat nakalatag. Lahat plantsado. Just the way she wanted it.
But what caught her by surprise was when she opened the door, she saw a man in his half-naked glory behind the kitchen counter; his fair, smooth, broad muscled back facing her. And pure heavens, how can someone have such a sexy nape? He had his headphones on so he was swaying his hips to the music which draw attention to his lovely bum.
Maine, get a grip! She berated herself. You should be freaking out. There is a stranger in the cabin that you booked for yourself. A STRANGER. YOU. SHOULD. FREAK. OUT!
"TEKA, SINO KA?!" Maine screamed. "THIS IS MY CAB-" The guy turned around and Maine suddenly lost the ability to speak. He got a face of an angel but with a ripped physique for sinful temptation.
You should not be drooling over that sexy specimen of a man, Maine. Umayos ka. Huwag marupok.
"WAG KANG GAGAWA NG MASAMA!!!" She warned but her eyes weren't sure if they should keep staring at the delectable sight in front of her or they should avert their gaze.
"Okay," the guy said calmly, as he set up the food he prepared down the counter. "You must be my housemate," he said smilingly, a dimple showing adorably on his face. Maine shook her thoughts away again. Beastmode.
"What do you mean by housemate? I booked this for myself."
"There seems to be a problem sa booking kaya nagdoble ang occupants for this cabin. I see no problem with it so I agreed with the arrangement. You can contact the admin if you want."
-----------------------------------------
Several minutes later...
She did not sign up for this but fate seems to be the one who deliberately arranged this rendezvous. It was confirmed, she has no choice but to stay with this guy for the next few days.
"Be careful of what I wish for. You might just get it."
So is this the twist then? Time to spice up her uneventful life, huh? Well, she couldn't deny he is hot, charming, and attractive. Dangerously attractive. But right then, she knew he is trouble, the type of guy that she should be warned about. No, he does not need this guy to put thrill in her life. Maine, kayanin mo ito. Kayanin mo.
"Alden, by the way." He said, extending his hand for a shake. "FYI, single and very much available."
"Maine," she said, just staring blankly at the hand offered to her. "FYI, not interested," she raised her eyebrow at him and saw him flinch a bit but he quickly recovered. He withdrew his hand and smirked at her.
"Feisty."
"Smug."
Right then, the tension was slowly rising up between them. And it looked like Alden was already game on with their banter and he's not gonna back down. Maine could not take it anymore. If she stayed here any longer, she's gonna go crazy. Better yet, she's just gonna lock herself in her room to avoid him.
"There's one vacant room, right? I'll go there and don't disturb me."
"Can'take the heat?" Alden challenged.
"What?!"
"Sabi ko, don't you want to eat?" Alden said. "Nagluto kasi ako. Sabagay, baka nabusog ka na kanina katititig sa akin." He remarked, with hands on his hips, obviously flaunting his body.
"KAPAL MO RIN TALAGA!" She turned on her heel and walked towards her room when someone grabbed her wrist and she found herself pinned to the door, caged in his arms.
"Hey, I just want us to get along. Wala naman akong gagawing masama e," Alden said, almost a whisper, his minty breath fanning over her face & his lips hovering close to hers. She found it hard to breathe and she could not help but bite her lip unconsciously. As she stared back at him, she saw the mischievous glint in his eyes and that sly smile on his lips. He is a damn living temptation, she must resist.
He leaned forward and lingered close to her ear as he uttered in a husky voice, "Wala rin akong gagawin na hindi mo magugustuhan."
Heart racing... Cheeks flushing... Ragged breathing... she was in a daze.
And it took a lot of conviction for her to break away from that and kicked Alden in the shin.
"OUCH!" Alden yelped in pain as Maine ran inside her room.
This isn't a boring summer after all. This'll be fun.
