Enemy's Trap (4th Gen #1)

Chapter 1

"He doesn't like you, Cleo. Why are you still here?", mapang-asar na tanong sa kanya ng binata na humarang sa kanyang dinaraanan papunta sa opisina ng binata.

"Shut up, jackass!"

"He's not here, you're just wasting your time and beside he still wouldn't care about you if he's here."

"Jackass! I really really hate you to death!," she screamed as if no one's watching her. Not minding if she's gonna be viral again, basta ba mailabas niya ang inis sa binata.

She raised her middle finger at him and exited in the building.
Padabog siyang pumasok sa kotse ng marinig niya ang halakhak nito na hindi niya namalayang sinundan pala siya. Padabog niyang isinara iyon at bumusina para iritahin ang binata pero parang siya pa ang nairita dahil mistula lang itong bingi sa maingay niyang busina.

"Damn you, Heixon Marcus Benjamin. You'll gonna pay for this." She started the engine and drive as fast as she could just to let him out of her sight.

It takes one hour to get on her destination but for her speed? It's only takes half an hour when she got there.

A loud lively music welcomed her as she step out from her car. The very cold air touches her skin as soon as she entered the place.

"Cleo! Over here!" Nangingibabaw ang isang boses na tumawag sa pangalan niya. It didn't take long to search for that voice, it's McKenzie.

"Having a bad day?," salubong ng kaibigan ng lumapit siya sa kinaroroonan nito.

"Yeah, that Heixon really know how to ruined my mood." Hindi niya tinago ang pagkairita sa binata, it was worldwidely known. Palaging may kumakalat na video sa kanila ng binata na nagbabangayan, but who cares? She's not living her life to the fullest for the society, she doesn't care. The only important for her is just her self alone. Well, she's not a brat for nothing.

"Tsk. Geez, matatanda na kayo pero asal bata naman kayong dalawa.," pangaral ni Kenz sa kanya. Inirapan lang niya ito at kinuha ang basong may lamang alak.

"I really don't know why my blood easily boil when he's around."

"Maybe because you love him." Her eyes widden and almost choked about what she said.

"Are you crazy?! I hate him to death and you said I love him?!," she shrieked but she only received a flat stare.

"Defensive. You could just simply denied it."

Napaingos siya. "Whatever. Let's not talk about him, let's talk about the mission I gave you."

Nalukot ang mukha ng dalaga.

"Cleo, if you really like Dence, you are the one who's following him around. Not me, okay?"

Dence Lester Benjamin. The guy who caught her interest but he's Heixon brother, that's why he hated the latter because he always tease her that Dence doesn't like a girl like her. But she's Cleo anyway. Cleo wants, Cleo gets.

"But I'm busy, I have many photoshoots to attend and you're my only hope to get a news from him. So tell me, how was it?"

She stared at her using her bored look, the Mckenzie she knows.
"He's off to Paris tommorow, business gala----"

"Oh my gosh! Destiny really find a way for us, DYK stands for did you know that I'm going to Paris tomorrow for a ball? I felt so happy----"

"But he's busy that's why he send Heixon instead."

"What?!"

"Yes, darling. That's why you should go home now and grabbed some sleep because you will be in a great battle tomorrow."

She frowned at her statement, she took the glass with wine and drunk it once before she bid a goodbye. Hindi pa nga siya nakakalahating oras sa lugar ay pinapaalis na siya. But she just really drop by because she wants to see Kenz.

"Bye, Kenz."

"Byers!," she wave at her before glacing back at the man who's now sitting beside Kenz.

She felt cold and tipsy upon walking towards the exit. Madilim ang pasilyo at mahilo-hilo na rin ang kanyang paningin.

"Low alcohol tolerance but you still drunk, Cleo.," anang ng isang boses sa kanyang likuran.

"Shut up, I don't know you." Asik niya dito habang patuloy sa paglalakad papunta na sa parking lot.

"Oh, come on, Cleo. Kahit na magkaamnesia ka pa ay hinding hindi mo makakalimutan ako because I know that I have already place on your heart."

"Shut up, Heixon! You're creeping me out. Gross!"
Humalakhak ang binata at hinawakan siya sa braso. Magpupumiglas na sana siya ng mahigpit ang pagkakahawak nito sa kanya at iginiya papunta sa kanyang kotse. Pero sa halip na sa driver seat siya paupuin ay binuksan nito ang pinto sa shotgun seat at pinasok siya doon.

"H-hey! What do you think are you doing, jackass?! I can drive!"

"No, you can't. You were drunk and I think you're not ready to die yet."

"Shut up.," asik niya dito.

Binuhay na nito ang makina at agad na lumisan sa lugar na iyon. Nakapikit na siya pero nilalabanan pa rin niya ang antok, baka ano pang gawin sa kanya ng binata. She's a goddess and he's a jackass, so no doubt if he will take advantage of her.

"Does your brother send you here?"

Matagal sumagot ang binata, akala niya ay wala itong planong sagutin siya pero nagsalita naman ito.

"If I say no, what would you do?"

"I'll kick you out of my car and drive myself alone."

"Then, yes. He sent me to fetch you."
Hindi niya alam kung bakit napangiti siya sa sagot nito. She knew that he's lying but she doesn't know if she's happy because of the lie or because he's here-----stop it, Cleo. You're gross.

Hinila rin naman siya ng antok kalaunan pero nagising rin ng maramdaman niyang tumigil ang sasakyan. She was about to stepped out when he stop her.

"Let me."
Lumabas ito ng kotse at pumunta sa kabila para buksan ang pinto sa tabi niya. Hindi niya lubos inaasahan ang pagpangko nito sa kanya.

"H-Hey, jackass, what are you doing?"
Tanong niya rito. Dahil sa antok niya ay sinandal niya ang ulo sa dibdib nito.

"I know you can't walk so I have to carry you."

"That's not the Heixon I knew. Tell me, you're inlove with me, right? So that I can break your heart."

He chuckled. "Lol, brat. I'm just a concerned enemy, nag-eenjoy pa akong inisin ka. Huwag kang assumera, baka ikaw ang may gusto sakin."

Umigkas ang kamay niya para batukan ito. Sa halip na magalit ang binata ay tumawa lang ito sa ginawa niya.

"That will never happen, I'll break your heart first before I say I'm inlove with you."

"Ouch, baby.I'm heartbroken, now can you tell me that you are inlove with me?"

"Tss, crazy. I know you will never be heartbroken because you intended to broke a heart, no heart aches happen for you so I will never fall inlove with you."

"You wouldn't know.," tanging sagot lang ng binata at hiniga siya sa kama na hindi niya namamalayang nakarating na pala sila.

"Sleep well, brat. We still have a fight tomorrow."

"Yeah yeah."

"That's why I like it when you're drunk, coz' you don't hate me."

"Tss. Just go now.," pagtataboy niya dito dahil inaantok na talaga siya.

"I will."
