Chapitre 1: Sweet Escape

"Oh my goodness, Jess. You looked stunning," Jyra blurted out when she saw her coming through on the Swizz logo for a quick snapshot.
She winked at her before she gave her whole attention on the camera with her seductive glare and sensual slow movements. She was wearing the million dollars worth fantasy bra. It was very simple as the fashion influencer, Majesty said that she is naturally divine with it.
Who would have known that she will be chosen for this expensive lingerie? She just became an angel last year, and now she will wear the toughest dream of any models. The crown that only a queen deserved to wear. It all started last night, she didn't expect it as her Auntie surprised her in the middle of their cup of tea bonding. She's freaking out as her heart is racing very fast, still cannot believe that it was happening. When she saw it on the table guarded by two gentlemen in a black suit, she couldn't help but cry like a baby lose her candy.
She worked so hard. Before she achieved this curvaceous body, being a model, and now this crown. She'd gone through the smallest hole of a needle. With no one on her back, to cheer her up. To cure her wounded body on each war.
"Look at that on her curves, it was like made only for her. She's a Goddess," bulong ni Lawrence, bago siniko ang katabing co-model na sinusundan ang kanyang bawat galaw.
"Stand by, Jessica," the Floor Director said.
Pumila siya sa likod ni Lawrence. "I am nervous," she blurted out, slanting her both arms forward to show her shaking two hands. The adrenaline on her body is hype. Even if her mind was clear, she is still freaking out.
"Shh... Ikaw pa ba?" Lawrence spanked her voluptuous butt.
She scrunched her nose up from the pain but she ended up laughing to herself.
She was lined up on the group of Angels visit in a black party, where all the svelte models wore the different shades of pitch-black lingerie, appearing extravagant on their small or big wings. Looking so devilish and sexy on their own different characteristic and perspective. And she was a type of angel that was badass under the seductive angelic face that would lure every male on earth.
"Are you alright?" Majesty attended her panty that was laced with glistening onyx. Followed by a make-up artist who added her a contour blush on while an assistant designer tried to fix her red headband mask and mini-umbrella.
"Thank you so much." Her emotion rumbled in her throat when she saw Lawrence moved.
"Jessica, go!" the Floor Director notified her.
Tinanguan niya si Majesty at pumasok na. The frisky background music that was sung by the iconic pop singer, Candava was a perfect diversion of her trembling knees. The moment she stepped on the runway, she says hello to everybody. As if she knew them, blowing the shenanigans that casually comes out of her without practicing it. Giving a seductive glare on each camera she spotted, not leaving each important detail to spread her unique charm.
She paused on the end of the stage and strutted her costume. And before she turned her back on the center camera she did her trademark, deadly winked.
It was her blissful moment that she doesn't want to end.
"Hey, Jess. You are coming with us, right?" one of her party goer co-model broke her reverie.
She'd done changing her outfit and actually ready to go. She is just reminiscing about what happened a while ago on the stage. Tapos na pala nang hindi niya namamalayan. Ang bilis talaga matapos kapag masaya ka. "Yup. I'll just talk with Jyra then I'll follow on the basement." She took her sling bag inside the safety cabinet and danced through the chaotic make-up room of busy co-models.
Nakita niya ang kanyang hinahanap sa hallway kasama ang buong pamilya nito at ang nakapalupot sa leeg ni Malik na inaanak.
"Hey, their sleepy head with a cute bunny headband."
"Ninang Ganda!" The little kid squealed and slid from Malik's arm. Patakbo itong lumapit na sinalubong niya naman ng yakap at halik sa pisngi.
"Oh! Do you like headbands?"
The sweet little girl nodded her head excitedly. Namumula ang pisngi nito habang nilalaro ang blonde niyang kulot na buhok. Nakuha nito halos ang ganda ng ina, tanging nakuha lamang ay ang talino ng ama.
"I will bring you more once I visit your house the next time."
"Oh, another gifts. What will you say to Ninang?" Ang katukayo niyang si Ginang Jessica. Kinarga nito ang bata.
"Thank you po." Nag-flying kiss ito bago sumubsob sa leeg ng kanyang Lola. Binulungan ito ni Jyra na mauna na kasama ang mag-asawang Friis.
"Sasama ka sa grupo nila Kelly?" tanong ni Jyra.
This is her first time to celebrate alone after the Fashion Show. Lahat sila ay aalis. Si Lawrence kasi ay lilipad ngayon pa-Australia para dumalo sa kasalan.
"You know I feel bored in my place. I wanted to celebrate outside."
Lumapit ito at piniga ang braso niya. "You can come with us if you want, Jess."
Gusto niya sanang sumama kung wala lang siyang branded photoshoot sa makalawa. Maldives is surrounded by water and she loved water very much. Jyra's family will staycation there for about six days and she couldn't resist to leave it after tomorrow so it will be better to stay than unsatisfied.
"You know someday I can arrange my schedule then we can go there." Tumango-tango siya upang ipakitang hindi siya nalulungkot na maiiwan mag-isa.
"Call me if something happened."
"I'll be fine. Don't worry. Go! Baka maiwan kayo sa flight niyo ngayon." Tinanggal niya ang kamay nitong nakahawak sa braso niya. "Kapag na bored ako, baka sumunod ako after the photoshoot."
Niyakap siya nang mahigpit ni Jyra bago kumawala at umalis. Binalot agad siya ng kalungkutan nang mapag-isa. Umikot na halos ang mundo niya sa circle nilang tatlong magkakaibigan. Sila ang bagong pamilyang kinikilala niya, bukod sa Auntie niyang si Mrs. Swizz. Her real family wasn't here to support her. Kailan ba siya sinuportahan ng mga iyon? Kahit kaunting atensyon ay hindi manlang ipinagkaloob sa kanya. O kahit magtanong kung kamusta na siya?
Ikinahihiya pa nilang malaman na pinagpatuloy niya ang pagmomodelo. Ibinabalandra ang katawan na parang mumurahing isda na nagbebenta ng aliw at atensyon.
Huminga siya nang malaim at kinimkim ang sakit na dumidiga sa kanyang dibdib. Ang kapalit ng kanyang matayog na pangalan sa mundong kanyang ginagalawan ay ang tuluyang pagkalimot sa kanya ng totoong pamilya niya.
This is the reason why she doesn't want to end her blissful fairytale. From there, everyone cheered and loved her. All the applause and smile, whether it's genuine or not are enough than mockery and disgust. Because in reality, she's really lonely and pitiful. Behind her fame and crown is the sad one little heart that kept on surviving.
I deserve to be happy. Heart, I will make you alive and happy don't worry. I'll push my limit this time! Baon niya sa puso ang pagnanasang tapalan ang kalungkutan nadarama. Pumunta siya sa parking lot. Madilim kaya agad siyang nagtaka. She fished out her own keys inside her bag while walking on the center, but before she could get it she startled when lights from five different cars immediately beamed on her.
"Did you see her reaction? It was priceless!" Kelly rose up from one of the convertible cars and laughed at her. She's with her poker-faced boyfriend, Ken.
Ngumisi siya nang makita ang iba pang mga bagong kaibigan. "Papatayin niyo ako sa takot."
"Dito ka nalang, Jess. Iwan mo nalang 'yang auto mo rito," her co-model called out from a sports car. Ang driver nito ay babae rin na tiyak niyang boyfriend nito.
Ngisi ang isinagot niya bago lumapit at tumalon sa back seat. "Let's go guys!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. Asking herself why not she enjoy her life without hesitation. Try the other side of the coin.
When they reached the exclusive pub, her energy boosted at the bouncy music played with the DJ. From the entrance some of the known actors and male models acknowledged her. They are all hunky, handsome, and famous too, but she is looking for something different. She can't name it but she will explore more. The night is still young, she has more time so.
Hinila siya ni Kelly kaya nakaalis siya roon. Kahit ng makaupo na sila sa isang malaking round sofa ay may mangilan-ngilang sumubok sa kanya.
"You know those guys hitting you are dickheads. Hindi ka nila papatakasin, ganitong single ka," puna ng isa sa kabigan ni Kelly na pula ang buhok.
She smirked on that and took the newly served cold mixed alcohol. She wouldn't mind drinking heavy tonight. She just worked out last month, twice a day. Imagine she is on diet, sweating messed, and craving for burgers yet she is not allowed to even look at it.
"Alam mo bang may crush si Audrey dito. Kaso napakailap noong lalaki, sobrang misteryoso at super guwapo," bulong ni Kelly sa kanya.
Nakatingin siya kay Audrey kaya naramdam nito na siya ang pinag-uusapan. Hinampas nito ang binti ni Kelly. "Fuck you, Kelly. Anong pinag-uusapan niyo?"
Tumawa siya nang sumigaw sa sakit ang kaibigan. "May crush ka raw. Ano? Hindi niyo pa rin ba nakikilala?" tanong niya.
"Dalawang beses ko palang siya nakikita rito. Napakailap. Sinubukan kong lapitan kaso nilayuan ako. Tang-ina!"
Tumawa ang ilan sa mga kaibigan nila. Dahil doon ay si Audrey ang naging highlights ng pang-aasar at bully.
"Hindi raw kasi niya type ang kauri niyang barako."
"Gaga ka, Paula. Magsama kayo ni Kelly at Nicky."
Tumawa siya bago nilagok ang hawak na baso. Nasa ganoon siyang ayos nang mapansin ang lalaki sa bar side na nag-iisa. Kahit may kalayuan ay sigurado siyang sa kanya ito nakatingin. He looks familiar!
Inignora niya iyon at nakisali sa usapan. May malaking proyekto ang tambalang Ken at Kelly kaya sa susunod na Linggo ay lie-low ito sa club trip nila. The topic went through until some of the boys on their group go around.
She already finished three glass of vodka. Her mind is quite spinning that's why she refused to go on the dance floor when the girls asked her. Nagsitayuan na ang mga ito, iniwan silang tatlo ng kaibigan niyang modelo kasama ang tomboy boyfriend nito.
They are kissing that is why her eyes flew on the mysterious man who moved near to their table.
Natatandaan ko na siya. Siya 'yung kaibigan ni Malik na mailap. Ngumisi siya nang maalala na dito rin sila unang nagkita noon. He is with the boy's table that time and kept on glancing at her but they don't have the chance to know each other. His friends have their own girls around them while this guy doesn't entertain one.
Did he recognize me too? Should I approach him? A strong urge made her shove two glass of alcohol mixed, stood up, and approached him. Wala namang masama kung makikipagkaibigan siya. Walang magagalit dahil single siya. Kung taken na ang lalaki ay lalayo na siya. Simple.
"Would you mind if I join you?" she asked. It was her first time, she has no experience of initiating something like this but she felt prowess tonight. That this man will never turn her down.
He looked up with her with full of arrogance and strong appeal. It was very dark with some lights from the dance floor and small cove molding on the walls, she found him striking gorgeous. But right now face to face, damn! How this man could be looked hotter just by seating casually while his long legs spread like an arrogant multimillionaire. She suddenly felt intimidated and small with his full attention. Those deep sets of eyes and chiseled jawline. Did she just choose the roughest guy in the earth?
Hindi ito sumagot. Umusog lamang sa upuan bago tumingin sa kanya. Mayabang na isinandal ang mga braso sa back rest.
Ang ibig bang sabihin niya ay umupo ako roon? Tumingin siya sa bakanteng upuan. Bakit siya tatabi rito? Pero paano kung magalit ito kapag hindi siya tumabi? Geez! This is harder than I thought. She bravely sat next to him and gave the glass of vodka with shaky hands.
He casually took it and sipped like a thirsty lost man in the jungle. "This taste good," he commented.
"Really? It's a vodka mixed with... nah, I am not sure with my friend's mixture." Tumingin siya sa mesang pinanggalingan niya. Bumagsak ang balikat niya ng makitang si Ken lang ang naroroon. "I can't find them now."
Humagalpak ito ng tawa kaya maging siya ay nahawa.
"They should expect you on the dance floor."
"Probably. They are drunk so they wouldn't notice me." She let out a sweet chuckled. Putting a note that this is her chance. Pushed her limits. Try something wild, besides he will not allow to accompany him if he doesn't want her too.
"Are you too?"
"Not until you make me so," she teased, sweeping away all the reasons to be a shame with him. Her hand found its way to his thigh and rubbed it in a circular motion while staring courageously with his amused yet intensified glare.
Nagsalin ito ng alak sa baso at tinungga ng isang lagok. "Let's play a game."
"Sure," she beamed.
"Truth or dare."
"That's classic but I'm still on and... curious." Lakas loob niyang pinagapang ang kamay sa belt nito. Ang malamig na bakal doon ay nagpanibugho ng kanyang nag-iinit na katawan. Pinapanood nito ang bawat galaw niya. Hindi niya alam kung tumatalab ba o hindi siya epektibong mang-akit. Ngunit umangat ang atensyon nito sa kanyang mga labi. Nakukulangan o hindi na makayanan ang pagpipigil.
Kinagat niya ang kanyang labi, hindi na makapaghintay kaya siya na ang naunang magtanong. "Ladies first. Are you single?"
His lips curved up into a seductive smirk. "Dare," he simply answered.
That means he is married or in a relationship? Shit, should I leave him now? But how can I prove that he is not tied up yet? Her eyes run through his covered with white sleeves arm. Right! I should see his ring finger. In a relationship is escapable, though. She extended her left arms in front of him and muttered, "Kiss my knuckles, Mr. Brave man."
He is unmoved, looking darker as if he is trying to solve some mystery on her head. But he smoothly reaches her hand using his left one and kissed it without further ado.
Her brows crunched up upon the view of his empty accessories finger. Nakahinga siya nang maluwag doon, ang kaso nagulat siya ng muli nitong halikan ang kamay niya paakyat sa siko. Kinilabutan siya sa kiliti at kakaibang hagod na naramdaman. Kabado niyang hinila iyon bago nagpakawala ng kabadong tawa. "Slowly, baby."
He is looking on her arm that she just used a while ago. "I assumed you are single. The question is can I court you?"
"Truth. Of course, you can. But how can I assure that no one's going to kill me?"
Tumawa ito. "Truth. I swear no one."
She frowned. "Hey, it is not yet my question. Ang daya mo!"
"But it's a question. My turn."
"Fine. Ang daya!" Ngumuso siya at umiwas ng tingin.
Muli itong tumawa. "The first time you laid your eyes with me, did you find me sexually attractive?"
"That's a mean question. Baguhin mo."
"Truth or Dare, Darling."
Pinagkrus niya ang mga braso habang nililingid ang paningin sa ibang direksyon. The question made her uncomfortable but damn this man can read what's on her mind. "Dare," she almost yelled.
"Kiss me on the lips."
Bumalik ang atensyon niya rito, ito naman ay tinaasan siya ng kilay. Nanunubok talaga. Kabado siya kaya kusa niyang inabot ang iniinom nitong alak para uminom. Dalawang beses niya iyon ginawa bago huminga ng malalim. May tama na siya sa tatlong alak na nainom pero alam pa rin niya ang ginagawa niya. Bakit ang tagal umipekto ng alak sa sistema niya?
Luminga siya para tingnan kung baka may makahuli sa kanya. Ngunit mas lasing pa ang mga tao sa paligid. Sa dilim at ingay ay halatang may sari-sarili na ring mundo ang bawat mesa. Wala na rin si Ken sa mesa nila.
Huminga siya nang malalim bago humarap sa lalaking naghihintay ng halik niya. Dahan-dahan siyang lumapit dito, idinantay ang kanyang dalawang kamay sa dibdib nito bago tuluyang siniil ng halik.
She closed her eyes and feel his soft unmoved lips against hers. She needed to stop but she wasn't here to pretend demurely. He wouldn't suggest to kiss him if he doesn't want her. That thought made her movements aggressive and kissed his lips like a mad bitch while tangling her both hands around his nape. This is shameful but there is no way to turn her back. She needed to act like a pro. Her ego was at stake and he is the lucky guy that she just kisses her whole life. But damn it, he is just letting her alone. It's so embarrassing.
Were her kisses felt amateur?
He bit her lower lip to stop her. "I have to remind you that if you continued that you will regret if I kiss back."
Was she look afraid? She also wanted this, she might be a virgin but she is not naïve to anything. "Why not kiss me back, Brave Man?"
He scooped her with his strong arms and carried on his car. From the back seat, he immediately attacked her lips savagely, while his hand traced the curve of her butt. She gasped from the electrifying foreign feeling that was flowing all over her heated body. He invaded his tongue inside her with the same impression she saw in him. Arrogant, massive and manly as he grinds on top of her.
In one swift moved, he already pulled down her off-shoulder revealing her boobs that were only covered with silicon. He removed it with his teeth. The cold moist of his breath made her moaned from the desire she wanted to happen. Lasing at naliliyo niyang sinilip ang kanilang posisyon.
He is in the middle of her spread legs still on his clothes. While she is there lost on her gripped, almost naked, and lust was drawn all over her face.
Mariin siyang napapikit nang angkinin nito ang kanyang mga labi at sa masarap na hagod ng magaspang na kamay nito sa dibdib niya. Minamasa at tinutuya ng paulit-ulit. She cried when he replaced his hand with his tongue. She could feel that he is smiling while licking her tip while the other one was tugged by his expert hand. She arched her back when he simultaneously sucked her both boobs while his hand caressed the cover of her private gem.
She squirmed and panted from the air with great pleasure he was doing with her. Unintentionally her nails dug on his firm arms.
"Do you like that?" He then again stroke her soaking fold to emphasize his question.
Kinagat niya ang kanyang ibabang labi sa mainit at masarap na hagod na iyon. Mabilis na tumango at napaiktad sa muling pagpasada nito ng daliri sa kanyang kaselanan. Paulit-ulit habang sinisipsip ang tuktok ng kanyang dibdib. Kumawala ang ungol sa kanyang mga labi. Kusang pumalupot ang kanyang mga binti sa baywang nito, dahilan kung bakit naramdaman niya ang kahabaan nito kahit pa nakakulong sa suot nitong itim na slocks.
He growled at that and looked at her with a tight control. "It seems like you wanted me now."
"Take me all you wanted, Brave Man."
