Blake and Eve are sitting on the table sa isang side ng kitchen ng bar. They both looked up from their food ng pumasok siya.
"Girlfriend! Kain muna tayo!" sabi nito .
Blake pulled out a chair for her, "Sit here Miss Hotness!" he said while grinning.
She sulkily sat habang tinignan ng matalim ang binata.
"Uy! What's wrong?" Eve asked nang mapansin na nakasimangot siya.
Blake put some food on her plate. "Why the long face Miss Hotness?" he asked .
"You deliberately made my boss angry!" inis na sabi niya dito.
He chuckled before saying, "Eat."
After swallowing her food, Eve asked, “And what did my hot cousin did to piss your yummy boss?"
Blake shook his head and said, “Beats me why women use adjectives such as hot and yummy which are suitable for food "
Eve just stuck her tongue out at him.
"You shouldn't have provoked my boss Blake!" she said as she took some of the food.
"He doesn't scare me. He acts and talks as if he owns you.Kayo na ba?" he asked as he knits his brows.
Stacey opened her mouth to say something but Eve interrupted.
"If hindi pa, I am sure magiging sila! I am positive about that! Besides, bagay na bagay sila." Eve winked at her.
"Eve!" saway ni Stacey. Her face turned pink.
Blake made an ugly sound at the back of his throat in disapproval. "And since when did you like arrogant men?" tanong nito kay Stacey.
Nakataas ang kilay na tinignan ni Eve ang pinsan while Stacey just glared at him.
"Eve pakibilisan nating kumain. We have to get out of here. Tutal in two hours pa naman ang number niyo di ba?"
"Why do you need to rush?" kunot noong tanong ni Blake.
"Oo nga naman! Bakit ba girlfriend?" segunda ng pinsan nito.
Stacey just chewed her bottom lip. Blake can give Nick a run for his money. Alam niya dati pa na he used to be a part-time martial arts instructor nung nililigawan pa siya nito. So if they will get physical, hindi lang niya alam kung sino ang makakalamang kanino. At hindi na niya gustong malaman pa.
When it comes to looks , both are very good-looking. At kahit hindi kasing-yaman ni Nick si Blake, alam ni Stacey that he is doing well financially. Nagkataon nga lang na may sabit na ito ngayon kaya hindi na sila pwede if ever.
Well, it only means that she is really either for Derick or Nick. Kumbaga lipas na ang time nila dapat ni Blake .She just considers him as a friend.
"Basta!" she just said without explaining. "I want to have coffee somewhere." she added ng makita niyang kokontra na naman si Blake.
"Bilisan mo Eve! Kotse ko na lang ang gamitin natin."
Stacey almost dragged her friend habang mabilis silang lumakad papunta sa kotse niya.
She gave her the key ."You drive! Tatawagan ko si Nick. Dun tayo sa cafe three blocks from here.
"Hello!" sagot ni Nick sa cp saktong nag-red ang stoplight.
"N-Nick...nasa coffee shop kami. It's three blocks away from the bar where I used to sing. Nasa tapat siya ng gasolinahan. It's on the right side." Stacey said.
Nagsalubong ang kilay ni Nick.
"Kami? What do you mean kami? " he asked brusquely.
"I'm with Eve."
Nagbuga ng hangin si Nick.
Naisip nito na buti hindi si Blake ang kasama ni Stacey. He missed her so much and he was just getting over the bad feeling he had kaninang umagang huli silang magkasama. He doesn't want her to see him beating up another man if ever.
"Mate! May problema?" Billy asked.
He just shook his head.
***
After pleasantries and few minutes of small talk, Nick asked Billy na ihatid na sa bar si Eve using his car. Ang kotse na lang ni Stacey ang dadalhin nila. He wants to talk to her somewhere .He also told Billy that he will call him to pick him up at Stacey's house then he can drop him off at his unit. Sigurado naman ito that his friend will kill time sa bar nila Eve.
He decided to stop Stacey's vehicle in a park na medyo malayo sa coffee shop. He wants to talk to her inside the car. Gusto muna nitong masolo ang dalaga.
Stacey feels a little nervous at the same time excited being alone with him.
"Honey.." he called her.
Pinigilan niya na huwag ngumiti when she heard his endearment for her. Kinikilig siya. She longed to hear him call her that again matapos ang nangyari kanina. She turned to look at him. Nakagat niya ang labi ng makita niya kung paano siya titigan nito.
When she saw him open his mouth to say something, bigla niyang sinabi, "I'm sorry." in a husky voice. She wants to say it to him personally. Ramdam niya na hindi sapat ang text.
Lumamlam ang mga mata nito and Stacey saw him narrowed them bago dahan-dahan itong ngumiti ng tipid but it's a smile that reaches his eyes and lightens them. The look on his handsome face is making her body react. She can feel her nipples hardening and she feels a sensation in her most private part.
GOSH! Heto na naman ako! I feel sexually excited because of this hot male!
By holding her nape,hinapit siya nito towards him. They both groaned when their lips touched . He encircled his other arm around her para mas magdikit ang katawan nila. Stacey's hands are on his arms. They kissed as if they haven't seen each other for weeks.
Sabik na sabik sila sa isa't-isa. When his lips went down to her neck, Stacey moaned his name.
Upon hearing his name from her lips, binalik ulit ni Nick ang mga labi on hers. He kissed her more passionately because he likes the way she called out his name.
He then cupped her face and inilayo nito ng bahagya ang mukha from her.
"That sounds so damn fine, honey .I really like it when you say my name when we kiss or make love." he murmured huskily.
She smiled shyly.
"I just want you to trust me honey." he said gently before kissing her lips lightly again bago siya pakawalan ulit para titigan na naman. He seems to really like staring at her face.
Pinilit niyang hindi magbaba ng tingin. Ang paraan ng pagtitig nito sa kanya parang nababasa lahat nito ang naiisip at nararamdaman niya. She has to hide her true emotions kung kaya pa niya. Kailangan niyang alalahanin na mas priority niya si Derick kahit mas nangingibabaw na ang damdamin niya for Nick.
Hinawakan niya ang mga kamay nito which are cupping her face. She tried put more distance between them. Pag lalayo niya ang mukha niya, lalapit ulit si Nick.
"Nick.." she protested dahil sa bawat pag-atras niya, he gives her light kisses on the lips.
Ano ba namang lalaki to? Hirap na hirap na nga akong magpigil, ang landi-landi pa! Maktol niya.
He chuckled ng nakita nitong inis na si Stacey. Ang sarap kasing halik-halikan nito. She really has the sweetest lips.
Then after one long and hard kiss, he released her.
"Okay, now we talk." he said. His eyes drinking in her pretty face.
She pouted. She knows magtatanong na ito about what transpired a while ago.
"Anong pag-uusapan natin?" she pretended to not know what they need to talk about. She looked sexily at him. Bakasakaling malimutan na ni Nick ang issue. Ayaw niyang magalit na naman ito.
He has an amused face as he looks at her.
DAMN! She is trying to use her power over me! Nangingiting sabi nito sa sarili.
"I know what you are doing honey but it's not gonna work this time." he said dryly.
Stacey sighed.
"Have you forgotten that you aren't supposed to go out at night during weekdays?" kunot noong tanong nito.
"Hindi pa naman late. It's just past 7PM. Pauwi na nga ako dapat. We just had dinner." palusot niya.
"With that asshole?!" he asked coldly.
"Kaming tatlo nila Eve. Dun lang sa bar yun. Hindi naman kami lumabas." paliwanag niya. Gusto niya sanang magbaba ng tingin but baka isipin ni Nick na guilty siya.
Then out of instinct medyo napaatras siya when she saw anger in his eyes.
"Why the hell did he call you babe?!" he asked na nagtatagos ang bagang.
"N-Nick...he was just joking." she explained. To make it lighter, she let out a quiet laugh.
"At sa tingin ng tarantadong yun nakakatawa siya?!" galit na tanong nito.
She doesn't know what to say.
"Maybe it's time for me and that asshole to have our talk." tila sabi ni Nick sa sarili habang nakakuyom ang palad na nasa steering wheel.
Nag-panic naman si Stacey sa sinabi nito. "No! What for? Ganun lang talaga si Blake! We are friends! Nagbibiro lang talaga siya kanina." sabi niya.
"That's not the impression I got last time." He said while gritting his teeth. He looks very displeased.
Gosh! Ano ba ang sinabi ni Blake? Tatanungin ko siya bukas na bukas! Stacey told herself.
Bigla niya kasing naalala nung huling nag-usap ang dalawa. They looked as if they wanted to hurt each other physically. But she wants them to drop the subject about Eve's cousin. Kakabati pa lang nila. Sayang ang moment.
"Nick... enough about Blake. Kaibigan lang ang turing ko sa kanya so please huwag na natin siyang pag-usapan." she pleaded.
He combed his hair with his hand before letting out a heavy sigh. "Basta I don't want him near you,okay?!" may tigas sa tono nito.
Tumango na lang siya.
"Come here!" he said bago hinalikan na naman siya.
As usual, she felt lost in a wonderful sensation. Pag hinahalikan siya nito, parang lahat nakakalimutan niya.
She just let herself enjoy their wild kiss. Hindi naman birong sama ng loob at sakit ang na-feel niya kanina dahil sa manyak na kaibigan nito. They both need to reward themselves.
Nang mag-umpisa ng gumapang ang mga kamay ni Nick on her body, dun na medyo natauhan si Stacey. Pag hindi pa sila tumigil, baka sa kama na naman sila mapunta at baka hindi na niya makaya na hindi ibigay ang sarili sa binata.
He complained by groaning when she tried to turn her face the other way. Hinigpitan nito ang hawak sa mukha niya para hindi niya ito maigalaw.
"Mmmppp..." itinulak niya ito ng ubod lakas away from her. "We have to talk about us..." she said when she was able to tear her lips from his.
"Okay..okay.." he finally said after giving up.
They can always kiss again later .He'd like to hear what she wants to say first.
She straightened her top and fixed her hair . Pilyong ngiti ang pinakawalan ni Nick. He likes it when she looks disheveled because of him.
Tumaas ang kilay ni Stacey when she saw the way he is smiling while looking at her. Malamang mukha na naman siyang ewan while he looks immaculately hot as ever.
"Don't frown honey. You look sexy as hell which makes me want to take you right now." sabi nito as he looks at her with fire in his eyes.
"Y-You say such..such.." she can't find the right words to say. Namumula na ang mukha niya sa hiya.
"Such suggestive and sexual words ?" he asked while chuckling.
Stacey pouted.
"Okay honey. Tell me what you want to talk about." he finally said while sounding more serious.
Binasa ni Stacey ang mga labi niya bago humugot ng malalim na hininga.
He frowned. She looks nervous .Lalo tuloy itong na-curious kung ano ang sasabihin nito.
"What is it honey? Tell me." he urged.
With one last sigh, she said. "I think we should stop seeing each other." Napakurap siya ng makita niya kung gaano dumilim ang mukha ni Nick.
