CHAPTER 3:
MY LIPS CURVED INTO SMALL LETTER o the moment I saw Nicolai's oozing and sexy body on the picture. Inangat ko ang aking kamay at kunwaring kinukuha ang maganda niyang katawan gamit ang mga daliri kong may mahahabang kuko. Mahahaba ang bagong kukong ipinalagay ko sa manicurista, I want to leave scratch marks on his back while he was f*****g me so hard.
"Makukuha rin kita, I can't wait for the wild night with you," I murmured.
For now, magtitiis na muna akong sa screen ng laptop lang nakikita ang maganda mong katawan.
"Eury!"
I almost jumped out of my bed when someone shouted. I turned my head to see my cousin, Rexel.
"Rexel!" I angrily shouted at him. "Damn you!"
Naiinis na inalis ko ang headphones na suot ko at inilapag iyon sa kama.
"Ano ba 'yon?" naiiritang tanong ko.
"s**t, you're like a horny maniac looking at Nicolai's body." Iiling-iling na sabi niya habang nakatingin sa screen ng laptop.
I pushed him away. "Kung mang-aasar ka lang, get out!"
He smirked then turned his head to me. "Tinatawag ka ng Daddy mo, gusto niyang mag-usap kayo."
I sighed. "Ayaw ko, I don't want to see him. Naiinis lang ako kapag nakikita kong magkamukha kami pero magkaiba kami ng ugali."
Kumunot ang noo niya. "Magkaiba ng ugali? Really? E parehong-pareho nga kayo!"
I rolled my eyes. "I'm sorry, pero hindi ako gaya ni Dad na mapagpanggap sa harap ng maraming tao pero sa pamilya niya, hindi kayang maging mabait." Isinara ko ang laptop ko at saka tumayo. "Now, if you have nothing to say, please go out of my room. I need to prepare for my shoot later!"
Hindi siya sumagot, iiling-iling na tinalikuran niya ako at lumabas ng kwarto. Rexel lived here in our house for about fifteen years after his parents died in an unfortunate accident. Some say that what happened was really an accident but some thought that it was plotted. Rexel's family is wealthy and my family was not. Dad's always proud of him whenever he achieved something like he was his son. And me? I'm his biological daughter but he always treats me like I wasn't. Maybe, my father was the one behind the accident of Rexel's parents, to get their money? After the accident, naging mayaman kami bigla kahit na Dad is still a lowly lawyer up until now. I don’t want to judge him but that’s what I saw.
Imbes na mag-isip pa ng kung ano-ano, dumiretso na ako sa banyo to take a quick shower. I took a bath earlier this day but that's about five hours ago so I need to cleanse again.
Habang naliligo, thoughts run through my mind—of what happened last night. I still can't believe that I met Nicolai and he's asking me to be the model of O' Sweet Night Bar. Pero nakakainis lang, when I asked him to have a night with me, he’s like. . . "I'm sorry, you've got to be kidding me, Jazz." Like I wasn't serious about the offer I gave him.
I sighed thinking that he might refuse my offer. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pag-iisipan niya pa iyong desisyon niya gayong luxury na ang inihahain ko sa kaniya. He just need to pop my cherry and then voila! He got a new model to his O' Sweet Night Bar!
So after taking a quick shower, nagbihis na kaagad ako at nag-make up para umalis na. To be honest, I don't like staying in our house. It's like I was being suffocated whenever I am here. Kaya tinatanggap ko ang kabi-kabilang offer for modelling to at least save money to buy my own house.
Suot ang kulay pulang dress, red stiletto and sunglasses, lumabas na ako ng kwarto bitbit ang bag ko na ang tatak ay prada. Dire-diretso akong bumaba sa hagdan, dire-diretso sanang lalabas ng bahay pero I stopped in the middle of walking when I heard Dad called me.
"At saan ka na naman pupunta?" galit ang tonong tanong niya.
I turned my head to him. Ayaw kong maging bastos, he's still my Dad.
"To earn some money, to move out from this suffocating house," I replied.
Nag-igting ang panga niya at ikinuyom ang kamao. I know that he's fumming mad right now and I want him to get even mad at me.
"Go," he said. For the first time, he didn't stop me.
I smirked. "Thanks."
Tinalikuran ko na siya at tuluyang lumabas ng bahay. Dumiretso ako sa garage para kunin ang kulay puting kotse ko na nakaparada. Kinuha ko ang susi sa bag pagkatapos ay tuluyan nang sumakay sa loob. The moment I closed the door, I sighed. I didn't know why it bothered me, na hindi ako pinigilan ni Dad. . . but then, hindi ba dapat maging masaya ako?
I shrugged it off then started the engine. Who cares! Mas maigi pa ngang ganito, iyong pumayag siya kaagad kaysa mag-away pa kami. Kahit na ano naman kasing sabihin niya, aalis pa rin ako. Tutuloy ako sa gusto kong gawin. Sino ba siya? Hindi naman siya ang nagluwal sa akin, kundi si Mommy. Si Mommy na namatay nang dahil sa sobrang konsumisyon sa kanya. Palagi siyang nambababae, palagi niyang sinusuway ang mga bilin ni Mommy. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit hindi niya pa rin dinadala rito iyong babaeng naging dahilan ng atake sa puso ni Mommy e. Ngayong malaya na siya, lagpas limang taon na, bakit hinidi niya pa dalhin dito ang babaeng ‘yon?
Nang makarating ako sa studio ng Branddy Molly, halos kumpleto na ang lahat. Ako na lang yata ang hinihintay. Well, I like being late. Napupunta kasi sa akin ang atensyon and I like being in the limelight.
“Sorry, I’m a bit late,” I said to my manager, Mikky.
Kung ang ibang manager, sinusundo pa ang alaga sa bahay nila, Mikky can’t do that. She’s afraid of my Dad because the last time she came into our house, Dad shouted at her telling horrible things like, “salot talaga sa lipunan ang mga bakla! Lumayas ka rito at baka sipain pa kita sa bayag!” My father never hesitates to hurt people’s feelings, especially those people around me. Ang sama ng pag-uugali ng Daddy ko!
“It’s okay, hindi ka pa naman late. May fifteen minutes ka pa.”
Tumango ako, luminga sa paligid to look for the set. Ayos na ang lahat. Mikky told me to get dressed in the dressing room. Naroon na raw ang unang isusuot ko kaya naman dumiretso na ako roon. I quickly saw a white sexy nightie lingerie hanging in front of the whole body mirror. I was going to model lingeries, such as nighties, pajamas and underwear for Branddy Molly. I am a contract model for them, they are asking me to sign as exclusive but I refused. I don't want to work just for them. Paano kung hindi na ako in demand sa kanila after a year? Edi hindi na ako kikita!
Luminga ako sa paligid to see if no one’s here. And when I saw no one, I shrugged. Ang hirap magbihis sa banyo so. . . Inilapag ko ang bag kong prada sa lamesa at saka inalis ang sunglasses na suot ko. And then I unzipped the zipper on the back of my red dress and then pulled it down. I took off my bra, I was about to put it on my bag but my heart almost jumped out of my chest!
With my eyes wide open, I quickly turned my head on the comfort room where I heard the loud thud!
“Jesus!” he exclaimed. “What are you doing?!” sigaw niya.
My mouth parted as my heart raced to see Nicolai standing there with his red face. Mabilis na tumalikod ako. Ninenerbyos ako but I still saw that the door wasn’t locked!
“s**t!” I cussed.
Tatakbuhin ko na sana ang distansya papunta sa pinto at para i-lock iyon but Nicolai did it for me. I even felt his chest on my back. Oh God! What is happening here?!
“Get dressed,” he commanded me.
Nanginginig ang katawan kong agad na tinakpan ang aking dibdib gamit ang bra na hinubad ko rin. Nakakahiya! Why didn’t I check the comfort room?!
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know someone’s h-here,” I said nervously.
Nalilito ako kung ano ang una kong gagawin, dali-dali kong kinuha iyong bag ko, tapos ibinaba ko lang din kasi hindi naman iyon ang dapat kong gawin. At last, I remembered that I need to wear the white lingerie. Kinuha ko iyon at ipinasok sa bag ang bra ko.
“Wait, what are you doing?” he asked.
“I’m going to get dressed,” I replied. Sinimulan ko na’ng isuot ang white lingerie. I don’t want to expose my breasts to him. He still didn’t confirm if he would take my offer.
“You’re going to wear that?” he asked again like I was going to wear something hilarious.
“Yes! I’ll model this lingerie!” I said sarcastically.
Humarap ako sa kaniya nang maisuot ko na ang manipis na nighties. I saw him, with his half-opened mouth.
His face was like, “what the hell is this woman doing to me?” and then it hit me! He was attracted!
My lips curved into a devilish smile. “Don’t worry, I’m not seducing you,” I chuckled.
“W-what?” he asked.
Bumaba ang tingin ko sa gitna ng suot niyang pantalon and there I saw his huge bulge!
“If I could just help you with that, I will. But I need to go out now, excuse me.”
I saw how his adam’s apple moved. There I know that he’s affected! Gosh, I am so happy!
Naglakad ako palapit sa kaniya at idinikit ang katawan sa braso niya, I tiptoed to reach his ears and then whispered. “Why not deal with my proposal, then?”
Matapos kong sabihin iyon, kaagad akong dumiretso palabas ng dressing room. Abot-tenga yata ang ngiti ko dahil sa sobrang saya. Tingnan ko lang kung hindi pa siya bumigay sa gusto kong kapalit para sa gusto niyang pag-mo-model ko sa bar niya.
“I’m here na!” I exclaimed.
They all sighed in relief like they were all really waiting for me. Binulungan pa nga ako ni Mikky na ang tagal ko raw at nagagalit na ang supervisor. Kung sa ibang pagkakataon pa, baka kinabahan na ako. Pero ngayon, I don’t care if the supervisor gets angry all she wants because I am happy right now! Nicolai Arman saw my pinkish t**s and I know his buddy down there is fuming mad! Ooh, I’d love to see his buddy.
“Come on, Eury Sarmiento! Let’s get started!” the photographer said.
Kaagad na tumalima ako at dumiretso sa platform. Kulay puti ang kamang naroon, as props at may mga rose petals. Kaagad na naupo ako sa kama at nag-isip kung ano’ng magandang pose, iyong maglalaway at titigasan ang mga lalaking makakakita the moment they saw my picture.
“Let’s start, Eury.” I started to pose after the photographer said that.
While posing different sexy poses, all I was thinking right now is why the hell Nicolai Arman is here? Kahit na nasa isip ko iyon, I still manage to pose as sexy as needed. I need to be sexy ‘cause I know that Nicolai will be here any moment. Kasi hindi naman siya pupunta rito nang wala naman siyang gagawin or agenda!
“More, Eury!” bulalas ng photographer na si Henly.
Saktong pagkasabi niya no’n, pumasok si Nicolai sa loob ng studio. Hindi na namumula ang mukha niya, it’s back to normal that he even smiled at the supervisor and talk to her. Still, I managed to pose sexier just like how Henly wanted.
Nahiga ako sa kama, tumagilid paharap kay Henly at sa camera niya. Inangat ko ang braso ko at humawak sa buhok ko habang ang mga hita ko naman ay magkadikit. And of course, I highlighted my breasts while I posed fiercely.
“Good, stay in that position,” ani Henly.
Nag-stay ako sa gano’n, waiting for his signal to change pose or expression. From my peripheral vision, nakikita ko si Nicolai na nakatingin sa akin habang naka-krus ang mga braso sa ibabaw ng kaniyang dibdib. He’s serious while looking at me. He was only wearing a black tee and brown khaki shorts but gosh, he’s too hot! How can someone be as hot as him without even trying hard?
“Okay Eury, now, gusto kong ibaba mo naman ang strap ng suot mong nighties.”
Walang pag-aalinlangang susundin ko sana ang inutos ni Henly but then. . .
“Is that necessary?” Nicolai asked.
I looked up at him, I mean, we all looked up at him with a questioning look. . . why did he asked?
