Ollie’s POV
The past few days have been one hell of a stressful experience for me. First of all, I’m suddenly gay! Thanks to that JERK!
Secondly, I almost blew my cover to that stupid DJ just to get him to help me get the jerk August out of my hair. Buti na lang boploks ang isang yun.. so I think my secret is still safe. And speaking of that DJ, parang napapansin kong iniiwasan ako ng lalakeng yun ah? Hmm, hindi pa rin pala nya nakukumpirma kung tutulungan ba niya ako sa problema ko. Gosh! But I really need that prick’s cooperation. Siya lang ang feeling ko, nakakaalam sa kahinaan ng gagong August na yun.
Then, I ran into the girl I’d not seen for almost two years, became an unwilling participant on that fateful photo shoot with the three drop dead gorgeous monkeys.
Those are surely not in my favor. When I stepped into this school, aaminin ko, I was really expecting na I can bloody get in and out of this asylum nang walang kahirap-hirap. Remember how my father manipulated me into going here? My father thinks he’s helping me, but clearly, he’s not.
The freedom from the craziness of my celebrity life that I want to experience never happened. Oh yes, malayo nga ako sa mga paparazzi pero what the hell? Kung anu-anong kagagahan naman ang kinasuungan ko dito.
Nakakapagod na rin pala ‘tong pagpapanggap na ginagawa ko. Haay! Mukhang naging mas komplikado pa nga yata ang buhay ko.
Maybe this is a sign na tigilan ko na ‘to...
Maybe I should just go back to my old life...
Being a full-time supermodel...
Being a full-time bitch...
Being a full-time player...
Being the A-lister that I am...
Haaay! Kung anu-ano nang naiisip ko!
You can’t stop looking at me
Staring at me
Be what I be
You can’t stop looking at me
So get off of my face!
Palakad-lakad lang ako sa hallway ng university habang nakikinig ng music haha! Langya’ late na naman ako as usual. Kaya aabsent nalang ulit ako. Haay! Di bale, si Rosie nerd na ang bahalang sumalba sakin hehe.! Matalino kasi yung nerd na yun, kaya lang, isang dakilang eng-eng naman..
Nakakaloka lang, ba’t kaya di pa ako naeexpel nang makabalik na ako sa totoong buhay ko? For sure may kinalaman si daddy dito. Iba talaga mangusap ang pera. Di ko tuloy malaman kung dapat ba akong maging masaya na lumaki akong nakahiga sa salapi o maiinis.
Get on the floor!
Get get get on the floor!
My swaggers’ in check!
“Ayan na yung bakla o!”
“Pwedeng- pwede na yan mga pre!”
“Haha! Lamang-tiyan din yan.”
“Naks! Ang gwapo talaga ng baklang yan.”
Haha! Nakakatawa. Tamang-tama yung kanta sa nangyayari sa akin ngayon. Pinagtitinginan at pinag-uusapan lang naman ako ng mga epal na manyak dito sa campus. Simula nang kumalat yung pagiging “beki” ko daw dahil sa litsing Agosto na yun, naging habit na yata ng mga tao na okrayin at bwisitin ako 24/7.
Napatingin ako sa mga PANGET na lantarang nakatingin sa akin. Akala mo naman kung sinong mga gwapo. Yucks lang men! Kadiri! Kahit siguro naging totoong baklush ako, di ko pa rin papatulan ang mga kolokoy na to! Heller! Aba! Mas gwapo pa yata ang hardinero namin sa mansion eh! Kahit madatung pa ang mga conyong to’.! Eww.. Never mind!
“Ayan! Pare! Tumingin na sya sa tin!”
“Haha! Kahit di na ko bigyan ng pera ng baklang yan, pwede na!”
Di na ko nakatiis. Mabilis akong lumapit sa mga manyak na nagkukumpulan at pinitserahan ang isa sa mga ito. Takot na takot naman ang gago, sa tangkad ko ba namang to. haha!
“O tsong, ba’t namumutla ka ata?” inosenteng tanong ko dito habang nakangisi nang nakakaloko. Haha! Ang mukha ni kuya? ahaha! Alam na! Mukhang naiihi na ewan.
“A-ah... ehh”
“O, mukhang gusto mong ju-mebs ah! haha! Halika, sasamahan kita.” nilandian ko talaga yung pagkakasabi ko dun sabay ng paghigpit ng kamay kong nakahawak sa kwelyo nito. Nagmistulang talong na yung mukha ng ugok pero di ko pa rin binitawan ang kwelyo nito.
Sadista na kung sadista pero nakaka-enjoy pala ang pangtu-torture!.. haha!
Naramdaman ko nalang ang isang malakas na pwersa na biglang humatak sa akin. Makakatikim na sana ng sampal ang istorbo sa aking katuwaan kaya lang natigilan ako sa galit na rumehistro sa mukha ng aking kaharap.. err..
At ang pisting lalakeng to, aba’t nakakapit pa sa bewang ko! Anak ng—
Aandar na sana ang bunganga ko kaya lang kinaladkad lang naman ako ni... tentenenen! August! T^T
Sino pa nga ba?
Ang higpit ng hawak nya sa wrist ko. Sana hindi magmarka, heller! Panghanap-buhay ko kaya ang mukha at katawan kong to.. tsk. tsk. May photoshoot pa naman ako sa susunod na linggo.
“You! What the hell is your problem.... again?” sigaw ko dito. Wala na akong pakialam kung natatawag ko man ang atensyon ng mga tao sa paligid.
“You are my problem! Do you always make it a habit? Picking a fight with every people you meet? Godness! Dito ka pa talaga sa campus gagawa ng iskandalo. Wala ka bang delicadeza?” galit na singhal nito.
What? How dare he! Sya pa ‘tong may ganang pangaralan ako eh sya nga ‘tong numero unong hindi kumikilala sa salitang ibinabandera nito sa pagmumukha ko.
Delicadeza my ass!
I cannot believe the gall of this guy.
“Hah! Well, news flash mister, you’re no better. Ang kapal ng mukha mong pagsabihan ako.! Anong alam mo sa salitang yun? Eh, wala ka nga nun diba? Hahaha! Remember the time I saw you making out inside YOUR STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICE??! Yan ba yung pinagmamalaki mong pagiging SSG PRESIDENT? Oh I bet my bottom peso, you’d make one hell of a GOOD ROLE MODEL.” naiinis kong sabi dito. My tone just laced with a perfect note of sarcasm.
“What I do is none of your f—king business.” mariing saad nito.
“Oh yeah? Then, stay out of mine. My God! I can’t believe you are such a big f—king hypocrite.” di makapaniwalang usal ko.
Di ito sumagot.
“Tangina! August! Can you stop dragging me like I’m some kind of a lost property?! Damn you!” sigaw ko dito habang pilit na kumakawala sa kamay nito.
“Shut the hell up! Baka nakakalimutan mo, you’re my property.” he said firmly. Lakad-takbo na yata yung ginagawa namin. Ang sarap talagang sipain ng lalaking to! At ano kamo yung sinabi nito? Me? His f—king property? Oh come on!
Narating na namin ang garden ng school where not a single soul ruined the peace and quiet of the place. Well, now except for the two of us.
“You know what? You’re delusional. Me? You’re property? Kailan pa? God! Where’s the deed of sale man?” I said sarcastically habang pilit na pinanaig ang aking hinahon. Why is it that every time this beast comes into the picture, lagi yata akong nagso-short circuit?
“Keep your hair on Ollie. You are mine hanggang sa panahong itatakda ko. Wala kang ibang gagawin kung hindi ang sumunod sa lahat ng gusto ko kung ayaw mong malaman ng lahat ng tao ang sekreto mo.” sabi nito at basta-basta lang akong ibinalya sa pader.
I looked at him unbelievingly. I didn’t mind the little slash of pain at my back when I hit the wall. Mas natuon sa huling sinabi nito ang atensyon ko. And suddenly the urge to laugh is so overwhelming that I can hardly keep small tears at the corner of my eyes from popping out.
“Hahahahahaha!” halos hindi na ako makahinga sa sobrang pagtawa.
Nagdikit naman ang mga kilay nito.
“You think this is funny?” di makapaniwalang saad nito.
“Well, you are funny.” sabi ko habang patuloy sa pagtawa.
He thinks I am really concerned about me getting exposed. Well, well, well, he can never be more wrong. Ano kaya ang magiging reaksyon nito kapag nalaman nitong wala naman talaga akong pakialam kung malantad man sa lahat ng tao ang pagiging babae ko? That he will be actually doing me a big favor because if that indeed happens, then that only means I’m out of this hell hole and I’ll be back in the circulation.
“I mean it Ollie.” he said.
He had no idea I’m just playing along with him...
This is all just a game..
He’s been dancing in my palm for quite some time now...
Well, it’s been fun playing with you August.
But let’s face the music now.. it’s getting pretty much BORING
Umangat ang kilay nito, and once again I saw a glimpse of his signature smirk.
And for the love of God! The sight of him.
He.. He’s so, he’s so....
Ugh! He’s just so f—king perfect.
And I despise this guy all the more.
Okay.. one last chance man. Let’s see how well you can entertain me.
“You can’t do that August or else—“
“Or else what Ollie Pierce?” the jerk said menacingly and stepped c loser..
Dangerously closer...
His eyes never leaving me while my heart palpitated in my chest violently. Wala na akong nagawa kundi ang mapatitig nalang din sa mga itim nitong mata na tila nanghihipnotismo, nanghahalina.
Hmmm, not bad August...
After a few seconds, he suddenly pulled away much to my surprise. Oh?
“For the record, did you say deed of sale?” he asked softly.
“Huh?” hindi ko nagets kung saan patungo ang usapan.
Tumawa ito ng mahina.
“Just so you know, we’re not gonna need that...” said August then he cupped my face.
I was shocked.
“...because this will do.” he said sensually before tilting his head, and then the next thing I felt is the familiar sensation of his luscious mouth doing wonders on mine. I did not respond but damn! His mouth felt so good man. He tasted of mint and lemon and something else indefinable which I can tell is the very brand of August. The way his sweet tongue licked the corners of my mouth—
I was lost.
Never in my entire life had I been kissed the way he did just now.
I was stunned.
OH. MY. GOD.
O///////////////O
Umakyat yata lahat ng dugo ko sa katawan papunta sa aking pisngi. Geez!
“See? We can seal the deal with a simple kiss.” came his nonchalant answer which annoyed me.
I scoffed.
“That stunt was.... amazing. But it’s a brilliant bullshit.” I said trying to compose myself, trying to ignore the sweet sensation which wrecked havoc in my entire system. I can still feel his mouth on mine. A dangerous mixture of sweet toxin and intoxicating drug slowly rubbing me of my senses. I could get addicted to it. Damn.!
I had no idea the jerk can kiss like that!
And if truth be told, I liked the way he kissed.
No—scratch that.
I loved it.
Oh man, August really exceeded my expectation.
“Listen carefully Ollie. I don’t want you seeing anywhere near those a**holes okay?” he said which surprised me.
And why the hell not?
I was about to say something back when something or someone rather, grabbed me from the waist.
“What the—“
“Hello Ollie. Miss me?” that person said just before he wrapped his arms around me, giving me a back hug.
My eyes flew towards August who gave the man hugging me a chilling glare. As he was about to say something somebody pulled him close and kissed him on the mouth.
My perfect eyebrows shot up upon seeing that little scene.
“Hi honey...” said the awful bitch I encountered weeks ago.
“Just what the hell is the meaning of this.... DJ?” I asked the man who is now smiling down at me.
