(POV Camilla)
Days passed at hindi ako pinaglalaruan ni Blaze. Siguro nagsawa na din siya sa akin at nakahanap na siya ng bagong girlet na pagtitripan. Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ako or malulungkot.
Pagpasok ko sa kotse ko, biglang lumitaw si Blaze sa loob ng sasakyan. Kulang na lang ay tumigil ang puso ko sa pagtibok dahil sa gulat.
"What the hell!"
"Did you miss me?" nakangiti niyang tanong sabay lagay ng seatbelt as if decided na siya na sasama sa akin.
"Missed you? Araw araw kitang nakikita sa school eh! Bakit kita mamimissed?"
"I avoided you for todays, you must be dying to know why?"
"Excuse me? Nakahinga nga ako ng maluwag kapag di mo ko iniistorbo eh! Bakit ba nandito? Wala ka ba sasakyan?"
"I know what you are doing, Camilla. I know that you asked your little brother to investigate me. Am I right?"
"Duh! Bakit ko gagawin 'yon? I am not interested in you!"
"Where do you think Stefan got those ancient Sumerian documents? Those are more than four millennia old and those are already considered lost records."
"Ha?"
"My trusted men told me that someone is busy doing a background check on me lately. So I gave him what he needs para hindi siya mahirapan. Don't tell Stefan that it was me. Akala niya, I am one of his underground colleagues. Your brother has deep connection with some dangerous and interesting people. Fascinating kid."
I just sighed in surrender dahil na-discover na din naman ni Blaze kung anong ginawa ni Stefan. There is no use denying it.
"Is it true? Are you really the god of fire?"
"Yeah, you can say that."
"Sawa ka na ba sa buhay mo at ako ang pinepeste mo?"
"Am I such a nuisance to you, Camilla?" tanong ni Blaze na biglang nilapit ang mukha sa akin. His lips almost touched mine.
"Yyeah! Ginugulo mo kasi ako!" sagot ko sabay start ng sasakyan at nagsimulang magdrive palabas ng university.
"Camilla, it was you who started the commotion inside my club, remember?"
"Hindi ko gusto ng gulo. I just want to have a sweet revenge with Royce. He hurt my sister badly. Naiintindihan mo naman siguro ko noh? You are a fucking god."
"That is understandable, Camilla. But what I don't understand is why I can't keep my eyes off you the first time I saw you," Blaze said in a whisper na biglang nagpatigil sa akin.
Is he seducing me again?
He is becoming more and more effective with each passing day. I am afraid na hindi ko na siya matanggihan bukas.
"Tulad ng ng sabi ko, you are a god. Tao lang ako. We are two different beings living in two different worlds."
"Why do I sense that you still want me even if I am not human?"
"Wwhat? No! Gwapo ka siguro, sexy and alluring, but Blaze hindi ikaw ang tipo ng lalake ko. Ayoko ng lalakeng presko at akala mo kung sino!"
"Oh? Is that so? At ano gusto mo? My exact opposite? You are kidding me, Camilla. I can see the mad desire in your eyes during my class. Hindi mo ko kailangan hubaran sa imagination mo. I can proactively do that for you."
"Hoy, Blaze! Pwede ba bumaba ka na? Uuwi na ko sa bahay at ayoko na kita kausap. Kahit god of fire ka, hindi ko interesado sa'yo!" sabi ko sa kanya sabay parked na sasakyan sa gilid ng daan.
"Hindi ka interesado sa akin? Then, why are you looking at my pictures every night?"
What the hell! How did he know na titignan ko every night ang mga pictures niya na bigay ni Stefan?
Well, he is a fucking god, hindi na dapat ako nagtataka. May visibility siguro siya ng mga ginagawa ko sa buhay ko.
"Yes, I am looking at your pictures because you look weird as fuck. Dark red hair and blue eyes? Pauso ka ba? Just so you know, you look abnormal---"
"Abnormally beautiful? I can't read minds, Camilla, but your cravings are quite obvious. Try mo itago ang mga pagnanasa mo sa akin."
I just rolled my eyes dahil totoo ang sinasabi niya. He definitely looks stunning. He may look weird because of his dark red hair and blue eyes; nevertheless, he looks beautiful.
"Come with me, Camilla," sabi ni Blaze in a serious tone. No hint of amusement on his face.
"Ha? Saan?"
"I will show you where I truly live, a glimpse of my world. Think about it. If you are decided to come with me, just say my name when the clock strikes twelve," sabi ni Blaze na naglaho sa upuan ko.
Kahit ayoko sumama kay Blaze, I think mananalo ang curiosity at landi ko pagdating ng twelve midnight...
