Heart in Caution (Heart Series #1)

T W O

I am currently on the airport talking to the media. They've been here since I got out from the plane I booked. Hindi ko alam kung paano nila nalaman na uuwi ako gayung sa mga kaibigan ko lang iyon sinabi. But still, I entertained them.

"Miss Irah, you did great at the fashion show."

"Thank you," I smiled.

"Miss Irah, how do you feel knowing that boys are flapping over you?" asked another reporter.

Cringe.

"Uhm...it doesn't sound great," I laughed nervously.

Really? Flapping?

"Miss Irah, are you here for your family and celebrate christmas with them?"

"Are you going to celebrate your christmas with your someone special, Miss Irah? Who could it be?"

"Uh...yeah. I'm celebrating christmas with my family and my friends. They're my special someone," I chuckled.

And then more questions flooded me. Nalilito na ako kung paano sasagutin so I keep smiling at them instead. I didn't bring a bodyguard because I never thought this would happen. And yeah, it actually happened.

Pinipilit ko na ring mag-excuse sa kanila pero hindi ako makaalis dahil hindi sila nakikinig. Jusko!

"Uhm, I really have to go--"

"Miss Irah, the rumor about you dating the famous model of California Mr. Luis Timberlake, was it true?"

"No. We weren't dating. We're just friends since we are in the same field."

"There are some photos taken from an unknown photographer at California showing the two of you were in a restaurant."

"Uh, yes. That's true. But we weren't alone that time. My team and his team were there."

"So, how do you feel working with Mr. Luis?"

"It's good. He's a gentleman--"

"Excuse me." Napatigil ang lahat nang may biglang nagsalita sa likod ko.

Agad ko itong nilingon and I saw an unfamiliar face.

His hair is in a cleancut. His wearing a dark blue longsleeves polo with three opened-buttons on his chest. Paired with a black ripped jeans and a white sneaker shoes. He has a silver necklace hanging freely on his chest.

"Oh hey there, Babe!" He said and greeted someone with a smile...a playful smile to be exact.

My brows met. Lumingon ako sa likod ko. Maraming tao sa likod.

Is he talking to me? Of course not, right? Hindi ko siya kilala.

Muli ko siyang tiningnan.

"Didn't you miss me? Stop pretending, Babe. It's you, yes you, that I'm talking to!" He said and suddenly went near me.

Wait, me?!

My eyes widened when he suddenly hugged me and kissed my cheek as he chuckled on my ear. I couldn't move in shock.

He let go of me and faced me. I thought he's done and that he would leave. But what made the whole thing fucked up is when I felt soft things on my lips.

Licking it and nipping it.

Wait, what?!

My eyes widened even more. I couldn't move. I couldn't think straight.

Did he just kiss me?! That wasn't my first kiss but he kissed me in front of everyone for the fuck's sake!

I got back from my reverie when flashes of cameras went wild. I tried my hardest to push him hard and covered my face. This is so bad!
