Ruthless Beauty

Chapter 6

"Get out, Barin." I groaned when I felt him nipping at the edge of the bed. Pati ang paa ko, nadidilaan niya na rin. When he licked my foot once more, I grunted and got up, completely grossed out.

"What?" suplada kong tanong sa kaniya. He sat properly and stared at me, waiting for something. I glanced at the clock. It says it's still 7 in the morning.

"Do you want your breakfast?" tanong ko pa. I slid off the bed and grabbed my satin night robe. Ibinalot ko ito sa katawan ko bago lumabas. I am only wearing a white bra and lacey tanga. Itinali ko ang buhok ko at kahit na nahihilo pa ay nagpunta ako sa kusina.

I turned on the coffee maker and waited for it while boiling Barin's breakfast. Sumandal ako sa counter at pumikit. When I opened my eyes, I could hear the loud noises in the club.

"Do you want a drink?"

I glanced at the man who sat next to me. Wala naman talaga sa plano ko ang magpunta ng bar ngayon eh kaso bored na ako sa apartment ko. I wanted to have some fun while I'm here. My clothes are already packed. I will be going home to La Union any time this week. I might as well check out the bars here in this area.

"I already have a drink," I pointed to the three empty bottles in front of me. "And even if I don't, I can afford." I scoffed.

Ngumisi ang lalaki at tuluyan nang naupo sa tabi ko. I raised a brow at him, questioning his entire existence and why the hell he'd dare to sit next to me.

"I know. But I just wanted to treat you. You look like you need a drink."

Nag-angat ako ng tingin. I know I'm a bit tipsy pero hindi pa naman nasisira ang takbo ng utak ko. I squinted my eyes at him.

"As I've said, I can afford. And I'd rather go poor than let a man buy me a drink. Get lost."

He chuckled. "You're so feisty. I like it in a girl, huh."

"Am I asking you?"

Umiling siya nang marahan. I could see the amusement twinkling in his eyes.

"What's your name?"

"Why the hell would I tell you?"

"I am Atty. Verdano. I am the son of the renowned Atty. Verdano Sr. You probably heard of him. We own the largest law firm here in Manila," he boasted.

I cocked a brow again. Tinitigan ko na siya. He really seems well-polished but he's not the real deal.

"Young lawyers keep on disappointing me nowadays," I said out loud, thinking of Matty whom I met in a gala just a few weeks ago.

"Oh, trust me. My reputation does not end in court..." he leaned closer. "I am quite reputable in bed, too."

Itinulak ko ang mukha niya palayo at mas lalong sumimangot.

"Get away from me, freak. You're making me uncomfortable!" I hissed.

He chuckled and then disappeared in the crowd.

I refused to have another glass because I know I wouldn't make it to the apartment. Maaga pa pero kailangan ko nang umuwi dahil hindi ko pa napapakain si Barin. I need to get him some food before I fall asleep tonight.

Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko. I cursed at the harsh light from my screen and then squinted my eyes as I clicked the contact list. I scrolled down and frowned, not knowing who I should call and ask for help.

Muntik na akong mapatalon nang biglang tumunog ang phone ko. I quickly answered it without glancing at the caller ID just to shut it. Nabibingi na nga ako sa malakas na music, nabibingi pa ako sa ringtone ko.
