Chasing Euphoria

Chapter One

Chapter 1- Bad Guy

"Fudge."

Hindi ko mapigilang isambit nang maramdaman ko silang papalapit sa kinaroroonan ko.

I've been running for a few minutes now and I can already feel the pressure taking a toll on my body. I cursed my white dress for dragging me down. They'll catch me in no time if this keeps up.

"My feet are already killing me." I can't help but cry out as I feel a thousand needles piercing against the skin of my feet. My heels were long forgotten in the hallway so I'm currently running barefoot.

I turned from a corner and felt hope when I saw a slightly opened door.

"Kung sino'ng poncio pilato ka man na nag-iwan ng bukas na pinto na 'to maraming salamat." Kahit na medyo tangers ang may ari ng room na ito ay hindi ko pa ri'ng mapigilang magpasalamat dahil technically ay siya ang tumulong sa akin na makatakas.

I cautiously opened the door wider at nang makitang walang tao ay agad akong pumasok at mabilis na sinarado ang pintuan. Nilagay ko ang tenga ko sa pinto at sinubukang' pakinggan ang mga nangyayari sa labas.

"'Tangina! Nasan na 'yon?!"

"Baka naka baba na iyon! Bilisan natin!"

"Patay tayo kay boss nito! Hanapin nyo!"

I was finally able to sigh in relief. I slumped at the door because I suddenly felt the exhaustion after all that had happened. I remained seated on the floor para magpahinga but I can't help but notice the expensive and flashy interior of the room. One of the VVIP rooms, no doubt.

My eyes roamed from the shiny marble floors, to the high-end furnitures, to the expensive vases and pristine wall paintings, then to a deep pair of eyes that looked like it would freeze you to death if you stare any longer.

Wait, what?

I stopped when I met a cold pair of midnight black eyes staring right back at me.

We stared at each other for what it seems like eternity until, I noticed a drop of water from his dripping hair, fall unto his chiseled jaw.

Trailing slowly to his smooth neck,

To his visible collar bone,

To his hard-looking chest,

And I can't help but lick my lips as that drop of water kind of trailed slower when it reached his perfectly sculpted abdominal muscles.

One,

two,

three,

four,

five,

six.

Oh la la. Anim na pandesal besh. Sherep.

Continuing into his evident v-line,

Then finally disappearing into his towel.

Napalunok ako ng maramdaman ko ang pagtuyo ng lalamunan ko.

Hindi ako nainform na langit pala yung napasukan ko.

"Are you done?"

"Huh? 'Di pa po." Ihh. Ngayon lang ako nakakita ng maganda at hubad na katawan ng lalaki, LIVE at malapitan. Minsan kasi ay sa mga TV at magazines lang.

"You should at least, try to wipe your drool." Natauhan lang ako sa sinabi niya. Pinahid ko naman ang sinasabi niyang 'drool' (kahit alam ko namang wala?) while I followed him with my eyes as he walked to the mini kitchen covered by a short dividing slab.
