Ruthless Seduction

Chapter Fourteen

Damn you for messing with my head, Atticus Xavier Enrique Lavigne!

Bata pa lang ako si David na ang nakikita kong lalaking pakakasalan ko. I had never been in a serious relationship after him. I waited for him. But since Axel came in the picture, nagulo na ang lahat. Nagkanda-leche leche na! Okay, maybe I was just going through a phase. This was just a phase. A sexual attraction. Hello, ikaw ba naman ang maging 23 at inexperienced when everyone around you was having sex! Axel was just the perfect guy to be sexually attracted to. He was capital H-O-T, exciting and oozing with manliness. He just jump started my sexual desire. Nothing more.

“Val…” Napakurap ako ng marinig kong tinawag ako ni David.

“Yes?”

He chuckled. “Sabi ko gusto mo bang subukan?”

“Hindi ako marunong humawak ng baril.” Sagot ko.

“Tuturuan kita.” He offered before taking me by the hand. Ipinuwesto niya ako sa harap niya at ipinahawak sa akin ang baril. He positioned my arms for me while I held the gun. His head rested on my shoulder, I inhaled his scent. It was different from Axel’s. He smelled of expensive cologne, very posh and clean. Axel smells of raw masculinity, powerful and natural. He had that kind of animal magnetism that drew women to him. Why was I comparing them? They were two different men.

“Itaas mo pa.” He said adjusting my arms. “And shoot.”

I pulled the trigger and shot the target.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

“Good job!” Sabi sa akin ni David. I had fun with him at the shooting range. Kahit sandal nakalimutan ko muna si Axel. I didn’t want to think about while I was with David. I tried my best not to. I just wanted to enjoy this time with David with no Axel intruding my mind. Hindi nga naming siya kasama sumisingit naman siya sa isip ko.

Hapon na ng makaalis kami sa shooting range, inaya niya akong magdinner sa bahay nila. Natatandaan ko dati madalas niya akong dinadala sa bahay nila pagkatapos naming maglaro and his mom would make dinner for us. And if it gets too late I just call my dad to pick me up. David’s family and my dad were good friends kaya okay lang naman sa kanya. After having dinner, we watched movies together in their home theatre just like we used to do. Hindi ako nag-ayang umuwi hanggang halos magmadaling-araw na.

I just needed this time away from Axel. I made sure it was really late na ng mag-aya ako. I didn’t want to see him. Baka kapag iniwasan ko muna siya mawawala din itong nararamdaman ko. I was confused and frustrated. I wasn’t supposed to feel this way for him. I didn’t want to feel anything for him at all.

Ang alam ko, si David lang ang para sa akin. Hindi si Axel o kahit sinumang lalaki. I didn’t want any guy but David.

David pulled his car up in front of my house. Madilim na at wala ng ilaw sa harap ng bahay. We quietly sat there for a few seconds, none of us talking.

“David…” Tawag ko sa kanya.

“Yeah?”

“Noong nasa England ka ba nagkaroon ka ng girlfriend?” I asked.
