BHO CAMP #1: The Playgirl's Karma

CHAPTER 1 ~ Stranger ~

"Here, Missy."

Inabot ko ang binigay na cocktail drink ni Daniel, the bartender. I like him but not 'that' way, okay? His funny and he doesn't pry. And besides that he's gay.

"You don't really like my name, huh?" I asked him, smiling.

"Missy, you know I love your mega unique name but I can keep up with it when I'm busy."

Naiiling na natawa na lang ako. Masyado kasing passionate si Daniel sa trabaho niya. Hindi niya tinatawag ang kahit na sinong kakilala niya sa pangalan kapag nagtatrabaho siya. Dahil nga sikat ang lugar, nangangarag siya sa dami ng tao. Minsan pa nga ay natawag niya ang boss niyang lalaki na 'Miss'.

"So you've been busy last week? I waited for you last Wednesday since I found it hard to find a pretty face that night. Those slutty little leaches..ugh! It's like they invaded the place."

Natatawang nagkibit-balikat ako. "Work. As usual."

"Or maybe, a man kept you busy." he said, wriggling his eyebrows suggestively at me.

Muntik ko ng maibuga ang iniinom ko sa sinabi niya. Binigyan ko ng matalim na tingin si Daniel na natawa lang. "I don't need a man in my life. My life is complicated as it is."

Sakit lang ng ulo ang mga lalaking iyon. Manipulative creatures. They'll make you trust them then when you turn your back for a second, they'll find a way to betray you.

"You don't need to make them stay and make your life complicated. You can have a man without him giving you a headache." he said with a shrug.

"Is that even possible?"

May nakakalokong ngiti na sumilay sa mga labi niya at pagkatapos ay inginuso ang direksyon ng kabilang dulo ng front bar. A guy sitting alone is currently nursing his drink. He's larger than life so I'm sure if he stand up, magmumukha akong midget. Though I can't see his face clearly because of the lighting or maybe because I'm hammered, I know he looks hot. He also look like as if he's carrying all the burden on his shoulders thus drinking to forget the weight. Ibinalik ko ang tingin ko kay Daniel. "Care to explain?"

"Well dear. One night won't give you a headache. Though, it might give you a different ache. Or soreness for that matter."

Pakiramdam ko namula ako mula ulo hanggang paa. That's...that's utterly reckless. I know I'm the queen of recklessness, but I never given up my V card. Hindi kasama iyon sa listahan ko ng pagiging pasaway.

Tumingin ako ulit sa direksyon ng lalaki. He's just wearing a plain shirt and faded blue jeans. Nakapatong din ang leather jacket niya sa kabilang bahagi ng table. Leather...hmm...I'm wearing one right now. And I just happen to love leather.

I can't see his face clearly dahil nakayuko siya at nakatuon ang pansin sa iniinom niya na Black Russian. My eyes travelled down his arm, and even without exerting effort, his muscles is still visible. Arms that is made from stopping someone from moving, trapping her beneath his hot body.

No! Erase, erase! I'm not intrested. My mother will kill me.

"Stop fighting, Missy. Even a loner needs a warm body to heat her up during this kind of freezing weather. And besides, it's clear that you are interested in him. I can see it."

Tinungga ko ang iniinom ko at tumayo pero pagkatapos niyon ay umupo ako ulit. At tumayo at umupo...at tumayo. Akmang uupo ako ulit ng napigil iyon ng pagtawa ni Daniel. Shit. I'm really interested.

Tumingin ako doon sa lalaki. There's just something about him that invites me. A force that cannot be fight with. Like a magnet. My mysterious man.
