Chapter Fifteen: The Bet 2

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Is this how you teased your guy, Isabella?" I asked in a dangerous voice. I did not know why all of the sudden thinking she danced like this with any man irritated me this much!

Alex's Point of View

I wanted to push him away and to stop my seduction. Naapektuhan ako ng presensya niya. Now that he is holding me this close, nagugulo ang utak ko. Hindi ako makapag-isip nang maayos.

This is all new to me. I feel fear.

"Is this how you teased your guy, Isabella?"

I heard him and it made me even more confused. Bakit nahihimigan ko ang galit sa tinig niya?

Imahinasyon ko lang 'yon. I held my composure as I put my hands around his neck. I smiled at him, my eyes not leaving his dark ambers.

"Why, Gin? Are you going to succumb to my teasings like all those men did?" I asked sweetly. Seductively.

I wanted to gasp when I saw the darkening of his gaze as it smothered my face. Hindi ko alam ano ang mga emosyon na nakita ko pero ngumisi lamang ito.

"Why not? I like to see the murderous look on his face, o pinagseselos mo siya?"

I swallowed hard. I don't like the feeling of this. I feared that he might think the worse of me, at hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ayoko na pag-isipan niya ako nang masama.

Napayuko ako. Gather yourself, you silly, stupid, girl.

"None of your business, Gin." Tumigil na ako sa pagsasayaw at akmang aalis na nang hatakin niya ako. Gulat na napatingin ako sa kanya.

He looks serious. "Where the hell do you think you are going, Isabella?"

I swallowed hard. I am in panic. Hindi ko nagawang ipiglas ang braso ko. I sighed, nakalimot ako sa usapan namin ni Carmi.

I just agreed to bet. For my car. Bumalik sa isip ko ang usapan namin.

"Are you afraid?" Nakangisi si Carmi. "Sabagay, a guy like him will never fall for you, Alex. He came from HLS!" she exclaimed.

Nag-init ang mukha ko. At ano ang tingin sa sa mga nagkakagusto sa akin? Mga tanga lang? At ang isang kagaya ng no-brain na 'yon na galing Harvard ay hindi ko makukuha? I held my head proudly. I smiled at her. "This time, you placed your bet at the wrong option. Don't use the car until the bet is over becuse this time I will take it back!"

She lifted a brow. "Hmm, work hard on it this time, Alex."

Lumabas na ito ng powder room. Naiwan akong nagpupuyos ang loob.

But I am not yet starting my greatest seduction ever pero natatakot na ako sa response na nakukuha ni Gin sa akin. He is turning the table against myself. And this isn't good.

"Going home. Want to give you a ride home? Or you have a car with you?"

He lifted a brow. "Going home? Now? Oh no, Isabella. You and I are going to know each other very well." He grinned.

I swallowed hard. Do something, Alex!

"Okay," I simply agreed and smiled at him. It's no use arguing with him. He is persistent. At tingin ko this is his little way to get back to my teasings.

We danced again. Nagpalit ang tugtog. Nahinto ako sa gitna ng pagsasayaw. And so was he. Nag-alisan na ang iba. Aalis na rin sana ako pero hinila niya ako.

"Dance with me, Isabella."

His eyes are the most beautiful part of his face. Nangungusap ang mga mata nito. And I am melting under his dark gaze. I smiled as I agreed to his invitation. Naiwan kaming dalawa sa lawn. He gently pulled me closer to his body. My eyes on his naked chest, his warmth is enveloping my wholeness. I closed my eyes in frustration. His musky male scent is filling my nostrils and it is sending me to oblivion

I swallowed hard. My face reddened. Napayuko ako. Nanlalaki ang mga mata.

"G-Gin!"

He chuckled on the top of my head. "What can I do? Mula pa nang dumating ka kanina, you are already giving me a boner!"

Namumulang nag-angat ako ng mukha at nagtama ang mga mata namin. Bagamat nakangiti ito ay nag-iinit naman ang itimang mata ni Gin. I swallowed hard. Shit and damnation! I have never seen a man as sexy as him.

"Y-You are drunk!"

He grinned. He kissed my forehead. Natulala ako lalo roon.

"I guess I am. Because I am beginningto like the idea of taking you to my bed."
