Fervid Desire (Good Pleasure Series #2)

Kabanata 13

My arms crooked, perching my both hands on my waist. My one brow upped, and to make this more serious, I shifted my eyes directly to him— even thought it was so difficult because of the ability of his eyes to make my knees spongy. A ball of dread rolled down in the pit of my stomach, making it cold when he started to take his own pace toward me.

My eyes examined his features: his beautiful face— like a Greek god— but I could see the tightened muscles on his jaw, his Adam's apple that was bobbing momentarily. I couldn't describe his face carefully because of his sullen aura, it was so dark and serious. But even though he was like a ruthless being, his appeal was still there— it went higher eventually when he was like this.

"Where have you been?" he asked, the roughness of his voice was so palpable, but because of his lowness, it went like a whisper.

"You don't have any rights to know all my whereabouts," I said blatantly.

He clenched his jaw, I know I hit some nerve because of that, "Are you with that Drook again?"

I threw him a glare. How dare him say those words when in the first place he was the one who took a girl? I wanted to deny that I wasn't with Drook, that I was actually with my girl friends but because of what he said? I think it was a good idea to make us equal. Na hindi lang siya ang kayang magloko, na kaya ko rin.

"What if I was with him? Ano ngayon sa 'yo, Zach? Wala ka ng pakialam doon dahil hindi naman kita pinakikialaman sa buhay mo! Besides, why are you here? You should go to your girlfriend—"

"She's not my girlfriend! Damn, Blair, I have no girlfriend!" he shouted, I receded.

I smirked, "Well, I don't care! Why don't you just go to her—"

"Damn, baby, why are you saying that?! Why am I going to her when in the first place I wanted to be with you?"

Fuck.

I wanted to cuss but there was no word spilled from my mouth. I know, he was just saying that because he wanted my body. He was still attracted but after that attraction, I will be useless for him. Maybe that Ritz wasn't his girlfriend, but who was she? Don't fucking tell me that she was just a damsel in distress and she just wanted to get a good company... with Zach perhaps.

Sighing, I trotted— passing him. I don't want to hear any of his bullshit. An unbearable kind of pain just shattered my chest into pieces, trying to havoc the huge wall that was protecting my heart. I shook my head and beelined to my room.

"Blair, she is not my girlfriend. Ritz is just my partner in my thesis." he followed me.

I rolled my eyes, "Not a girlfriend but you two went to the mall? Ano 'yon getting to know each other? Or maybe, nalilibogan ka lang sa kanya? She got a good tits—"

"What are you saying, woman?!" he stormed out, "We went to the mall because we need some materials. She said that she wanted to buy something so I had no choice but to opt at her will."

I bit my lower lip. Maybe I was wrong. Pero bakit kung makapag-rant 'yong babaeng 'yon sa kanya ay akala mo siya ang girlfriend? And why do I care so much? I want to tweak off my hair until I realize that I have no rights to say those words. Ano niya ba ako? I was just his fuck buddy— that means, no strings attached. I closed my eyes before I opened my mouth to say a word.

"Fine, I don't care." I said, "Just go out of here, I'm going to change my clothes. May pupuntahan ako."

"Where?" his voice lowdown.

"Wala kang pakiala—"

"Where are you going, woman?!"

I belched, "Bar!"
