"Don't worry. As I help you, everything will be strictly platonic. There'll be no strings attached."
"No strings attached?" She nodded. That made me think again. But I don't have a hold of my future. I'm not sure on what's gonna happen the next day or the day after that and so on.
Only God knows what's gonna happen and this uncertainty is not something I don't like to settle with.
Kung si Nathalia at Monique eh, they still managed to break my heart into pieces when they are both the good girl types, mas hindi ko ata kayang ipagkatiwala ang sarili ko sa isang Eleanor Kai Gonzales. Lawyer-in-the-making, an influencial Socialite and an absolute party girl. If I'm not mistaken, she goes to a different bar every night and parties all night until she's wasted.
In the anatomy of women, Eleanor's on the very 'dangerous' side. Now how can I entrust myself to this one hell of a woman? That's just absurd. That's pure bulls-hit.
All girls are dangerous when you get to know them―when being the operative word. But for Eleanor's case? One look and you'll know it immediately―she's pure danger. Maybe the only guys who'll go after her are also after trouble.
"Chance, what do you think?" I shrugged before turning to her, my lips set into a thin line. I scanned her from head to foot, her long hair which was laid down, is disheveled that you'll think she just came from a hot make-out session. She's wearing a pretty decent navy blue dress but it still accentuates her curves. Those d-amned sinful curves. Obviously, it's flaunting everything in her body. I have to admit, Eleanor is beautiful. Idagdag mo pa ang posture at confidence niya.
"Ang hot ko no?" She interrupted my temporary daze when she noticed me checking her out. I rolled my eyes. How conceited. She's annoying and conceited. That's a bad combination. She can be the perfect female version of my twin brother, Lourd Simoun. Maybe she's the real twin sibling and I'm not.
But my mind drifted to what she's offering me, the doubts and all those possibilities. It can be tempting but am I ready for another heartbreak?
"What if I got hurt again? What would you do? I'm entrusting myself to you, Miss Gonzales." I asked softly, but my tone was threatening. Nilapit ko din ang mukha ko sa kanya to show my seriousness. She stared at me as well with her brows furrowed.
"Pipili naman tayo ng matinong babae eh, so no problem." She reasoned.
I smirked, "We'll never know what would happen, Eleanor. Kahit ikaw, hindi mo naman hawak ang buhay mo. Then let me tell you this: pag nasaktan ako... Tandaan mo to, Pananagutan. Mo. Ako."
Binatukan niya ako. "Ano ka buntis? Babae lang ang pinananagutan no!" I flinched. Did she just hit me on the head?! How dare―!!
She just pestered me the whole evening but who gave her the right to hit me in the head? She's annoying and conceited and evil. I don't like her now.
"Wala kang magagawa. Ipagkakatiwala ko na nga ang sarili ko sa isang mapagkawang-gawang tulad mo diba? Whatever you say, pananagutan mo ko." I smirked truimphantly as I watched her swallowed. Mukhang na-realize na niyang hindi naman basta-basta tong trip niya.
