“GIRL, tingnan mo si Devlin kanina pa tingin ng tingin dito,” pasimpleng bulong ni Georgie. They were building sand castles by the seashore-- in their itsy bitsy bikinis-- to annoy Nick and Devlin.
Excitement hit her nerves like a lightning bolt. “Really?” Nakatalikod siya kay Devlin kaya si Georgie lamang ang nakakakita rito. She threw her silken hair back for a flirty effect.
“Yes!” natatawang anito. Georgie prodded her toward him. “Ano pa'ng ginagawa mo rito? Puntahan mo na!”
She playfully recoiled her body. “Ayoko nga ‘no!” pagpapakipot niya. “Hayaan mo siyang magdusa. He deserves it after all the cruel things he’s done to me.”
Pinagpag nito ang mga buhangin sa kamay. “Bakit, ano ba ang ginawa niya sa iyo?” Georgie glanced over her shoulder to take another peek at Devlin.
“Girl, he wanted us to make babies sans love and romance,” she confessed. “Imagine?” Humaba ang nguso niya. Sa tuwing naaalala niya ang araw na iyon ay hindi niya maiwasang manlumo.
“So paano ngayon ‘yan at sa iisang villa kayo natutulog?” curious na tanong nito. “Ni hindi man lang ba siya nag-attempt na pumasok sa silid mo?”
She and Devil were staying in a beach villa with two separate rooms. Iyon ang una niyang kondisyon para pumayag siyang sumama ito. How she wanted to take a snap shot of the incredulity on his face when she laid down her terms. “What are we in high school?!” he direly resisted. Pero sa huli ay pumayag din naman ito.
“He did on our first night,” natatawang sagot niya. “So I requested three additional dead bolts on my door, para hindi siya makapasok!”
Muntik nang lumabas sa ilong ni Georgie ang iniinom na piña colada. “Ginawa mo talaga ‘yon?”
“Uhumm,” Tumango siya, secretly asking her lucky stars if he would ever truly love her. Nakakahiya mang aminin pero iyon ang kanyang ipinagdarasal araw-araw, gabi-gabi.
Ang totoo ay ginagawa lang naman niya ang lahat ng ito para isalba ang kanyang titanic ego sa kahihiyan. She was hopelessly in love with him and all she really wanted was for him to love her back.
Gosh, if that ever happened, siya na yata ang magiging pinakamasayang babae sa balat ng lupa. She would certainly accept him with open arms and legs. Open mouth pa kung talagang kailangan!
She took a deep breath. Nakakainis. Hindi yata bagay sa kanya ang ma-insecure ng ganito katindi. She was Cheska LaGuardia, famous for making puppets out of hapless men—
“Cheska, tingnan mo. He’s at it again.” Georgie patted her arms. “Ni hindi nga pinansin ang dalawang babaeng lumapit sa kanya. I think he’s already going loco over you!”
“Talaga?” paninigurado niya. A vanity nerve snapped inside her brain. Kung hindi pa rin in love sa kanya ang manhid na lalaking iyon aba’y kailangan na itong parusahan. Forward march.
CHESKA sashayed her way towards Devlin. “Dam… diram… diram…” she hummed, habang inirarampa ang kanyang seksing katawan sa harapan nito.
Napaubo ito nang makita siya. She knew how much he drooled over her feminine curves and she was gonna use it again to her full advantage.
She swayed her hips from side to side. Werk it, Francesca.
He was wearing a dark pair of lenses but she knew he was watching her. He was even reading the business magazine in his hands upside down!
She chuckled. She would bet her sexy booties he was already gnashing his teeth. Oh, how she enjoyed torturing the shite out of her hottie fiancé.
Devlin looked so cute whenever he was out of his comfort zone. Tila ito batang paslit na sa tuwina ay hindi alam ang gagawin. Sigh. If only people knew about this side of him.
Nilapitan niya ito. “Hi, Honey…!” She sat on his lap and circled her arms around his neck, making sure he had a fantastical view of her ample cleavage. Nginitian niya ito ng pagkatamis-tamis.
It was high time Devlin knew the bloody carnage she was capable of if he didn't fall in love with her. ASAP.
