I Won't Spread My Legs To You (UNDER REVISION)

CHAPTER 2

Thalia Axhiana Veron

"What's with that face?" Shiela asked me, my best friend since high school. She's wearing her round black-framed eyeglasses and reading a book— having her usual studious look. But she's not the typical nerdy woman you could think of. Her alter ego is kinda wild. Actually, yung binabasa niya hindi knowledgeable, but a naughty one.

"Hulaan mo," I uttered and shrugged off my shoulder.

"I'm not a fortune teller to know what's gotten into you. Plainly, I can't reckon of what's happening so," she trailed off and pouted. "ikwento mo na lang ng direkta, can you?"

"Isn't that obvious? Sino ba yung parating nagiging dahilan para uminit ang ulo ko, edi si Hades! Yung pervert na yun!" I said, clenching my teeth. We're not in the same department, accounting siya while nasa engineering department naman ako kaya naman 'di niya alam ang nangyayari sa akin maliban na lang kung ikwekwento ko ito. Matagal ko nang kaibigan si Shiela, almost a decade na rin. Since first year of high school until now that we're already third year in college.

Her eyes went saucers as she put both hands on her mouth, covering it. "What do you mean by Hades? Hades Kalyx Magno?" she asked, seeking clarification. "Gi-ahak uy! 'Di pa rin ba tumitigil?"

I nodded and folded my arms on my chest.

"If I'm not mistaken, he's been teasing you for almost three months. Seriously, Thalia? Nakapagpigil ka? No woman could resist his charm," she exaggeratedly said. Anong wala? Meron kaya at ako yun. But in a second thought, he doesn't have any charisma for me, so anong i-reresist ko? Obviously, wala. As in wala! Hindi naman kaakit-akit ang lalaking yun, he's a sheer disgusting maniac!

"Wala pa ngang isang minuto ay umu-oo na sila para maikama. Do you even know that there are tons of girls out there who pleaded Hades to fuck them? They said he's a damn good kisser, and great in bed. Also has a huge siz--" she didn't continue what she was about to speak up when her gaze landed on me, seeing me having a barren expression.

"Based on your tone, it seems like you're one of those girls that drool upon him. Are you for real? Pati ikaw ganyan?!" I growled as I embedded my palm on my forehead. "Jusko! Itigil mo yan, Shiela. Kabuangan yan eh!"

"I'm sorry, you can't blame me he's freaking gorgeous! But don't worry I don't have any plans to mess up with him, so Hades is all yours," she taunted and winked at me.

"Stop that!" I spat.

"Ano na naman ba kasing ginawa niya sayo na nakapagpainit ng ulo mo? Hurry up, spill it."

"He tried to fingerfuck me while we're in the middle of the class and also attempted to do nasty stuff with me inside the girl's restroom. Alam mo sumosobra na siya, isa na lang talaga at hindi na ako magdadalawang isip na kasuhan siya ng harassment! What he's doing to me is too much!" I momentarily closed my eyes and bit my lip, chilling out myself.

"Too much pleasure?" she said kinkily.

I threw scolding stares at her. "You're not taking seriously about my rants. I'm dead serious here Shiela!"

"Pardon me if I would interrupt you for venting out your anger, but Thalia ang hot kaya ng ginawa niya. Nababasa ko lang yang mga ganyang scenarios sa mga naughty books then now nangyayari sayo? Dang! Nakakainggit! Imagine he was trying to do that kind of filthy stuff with you during the discussion, knowing that maraming posibleng makakita sa inyo inside the classroom. Nakakapang-init kaya yun. And sa restroom? Damn ang hot din ng place na yun for sexual interactio--"

"SHIELA!"

"What?" she asked, suppressing her laughs.

"I didn't expect that you would blurt out things like that, knowing that pervert jerk tried to harass your best friend. Shiela, itigil mo na yang sobrang pagbabasa ng mga smuts na yan. Hindi na maganda ang nagiging epekto sayo, it seems like your mind was corrupted by a filthy virus."

"For pete's sake! We're not longer a teenager, we're already twenty-three so it's normal to fantasize things like that," she said with a tone of as-a-matter-of-fact.

"No, that's not normal." I blew a breath. "Alam mo, na-iistress na ako sayo."

"Oh come on Thalia, don't be shy at me. And just admit it what he did was damn hot."

"Anong hot? Hell no! pambabastos ang tawag ro'n Shiela. Pambabastos," pagtatama ko rito. Dang! This friend of mine is acting nuts!

"Okay, okay. Eh siya? He's damn hot right?" She wiggled her brows.

"Oo, super hot kasi pinapainit niya ang ulo ko parati!" I hurled back with sarcasm.

"You don't really find him attractive? I mean, he has the looks and brain. Magaling na nga siya sa acads, magaling pa siya sa kama. Sure ka bang 'di ka talaga attracted sa kanya?" I wouldn't deny that he has those two major aspects— appearance and intelligence. Yeah, matalino ang lokong yun, but he doesn't have the most important factor which is attitude. Pagiging womanizer and pervert niya pa lang, sobrang ekis na! He doesn't fit inside the loop of my standards. He's not my type and will never be my type.

"Attractive? Hell no! Ang pervert niya, he's not my type masyado siyang wild. I like the gentle one."

"Pwede rin naman siya maging gentle, sabihan mo lang pa--" I cut off her words, knowing what she was trying to entail. Bumabanat na naman siya tungkol sa kahalayan.

"No, that's not what I was trying to imply here. I mean, alam mo naman na gusto ko yung gentleman, yung chivalry, yung may respect sa akin. The one who doesn't force me to undergo pre-marital sex because pleasure wasn't all he needed from me, I want a man that would bring me to the altar pure and willing to be with me for the rest of his life as much as I do. Ang cute kaya nun, hindi yung puro lust lang kagaya nung Hades na yun! I won't risk myself to that kind of person, never. Never ako mag-sesettle sa ganung tipo ng tao."

The mischievous smile plastered upon her lips lately was altered by a frown. And bigla na lang siyang naging tight-lipped.

"Woi Shiela!" I snapped, it seemed to be she lost her senses for a moment. Anong nangyari dito?

I was about to open my mouth to utter further words, but I was halted when she already speak up.

"Okay, ikaw ng virgin. Out of the sudden bigla akong nakaramdam ng hiya sa sarili, you know I'm that kind of a woman that would be defined as a whore. I undoubtedly throw myself in different man and I can't even already count with my fingers how many of them tasted me."

"Shiel--"

"Thank you because even though we are completely opposite to each other, you didn't unfriend me. Nanatili ka pa rin para maging isang totoong kaibigan ko," she said, sounding emotional and squeezing my hand.

"Syempre ganun ka rin sa akin. And besides, you're not the type of person that would trigger me to do things against my will. Although several said that you're a bad influence, little did they know that you don't even try hauling me to go at parties even if you do. You never put me under pressure, Shiela. Okay, lang sayo kahit 'di kita sabayan sa mga gimik mong yan kasi alam mong ayaw ko. In short okay lang sayo na kj ako."

"Indeed! But you? You keep on forcing me to halt doing gimmicks. Unfair!" saad nito na tila bang nagkukunwaring nagtatampo.

"Correction! I'm not forcing you, I'm just trying to convince you to lessen doing gimmicks!" I defended myself.

Shiela wagged her head. "Okay! Okay!"

"Tss, let's cut off this drama," I said as our gaze met and with that we both laugh.
