Embracing the Fire

Prologue

Hestia

" Stop it! "

Kumalas ako sa kapit ni Rick sa aking pisngi. He's kissing me like a hungry beast. He seems like he's been waiting for this moment that he could kiss me, para siyang mauubusan at kulang na lang ay mag kalat na ang laway niya.

I tap his hands but he still continue kissing me. I don't have the choice but to slap him, real hard. " I said stop it, Rick! You're almost drooling, para kang asong nauulol."

Imbes na mairita sa sinabi ko ay ngumisi lang ito at sumubok muling humalik pero mabilis na akong naka iwas at tumayo. " What? You're not enjoying my kiss? "

" Kanina. But now you're almost eating my mouth, kulang na lang ay mag laway ka. It's disgusting! " I said with so much disgusting even on my tone.

" Everyone will drool for your kisses, Hes. I'm sorry, please let's continue in my condo. That's a 10 minutes away from here."

If he suggested that when he's not drooling, maybe I would go but after seeing him kiss me like a wild animal? I got turned off.

I get my phone inside my hand bag to call my driver, kuya Jerry. " What are you doing? "

I rolled my eyes. Nakuha pa talaga niyang mag tanong, hindi pa ba obvious?  "Dumping you, you're not good."

Hinatak pa ako nito at nagsabing nasabik lang but I did not mind him and go. He seems fine a week ago when he is still hitting me up, wala pa nga masiyadong pakialam sa akin kaya nag e-enjoy ako pero ngayon.... parang asong ulol na kung humalik.

If I let him have his way, I'll bet he will become a jealous fling who will assumed things between us. Nakita ako nina Shiela papalabas sa parking lot, pabalik sa cafeteria.

" Bilis, ah? Literal na quickie? " natatawang tanong ni Alexa. She's really vulgar... well, like me.

Umupo ako at nag alcohol maging bibig ay dinampian. Baka magka rabbies pa ako sa gagong Rick na iyon.  " Hayok humalik, malayo sa dating niyang fuckboy. "

They all laughed. They know Rick, of course. He's one of the famous engineering student here in our University. We're both second year and I'm crushing on him when I was still first year but he's been busy with her other girls and I thought he's game with... my game.

He started liking my IG posts from lately and finally send a dm so I replied. We hang out and finally make out but now? I'm turned off. Hindi naman pala siya ganoon kasarap humalik. Gwapo lang at puro yabang pero parang leon na walang pangil. Don't tell me he's really into me? Seriously?

" Hindi ata naniniwala sa mga usapan sa'yo, Hes." Shiela added.

I shrugged. Baka akala niya ay lumalambot din ang puso ko kapag gwapo. I smirked. " I know when to get serious and I don't have plans to be serious until I graduate. I want to enjoy things. "

" What do you mean by enjoy? Enjoy all the hot men in Manila? " Sarah joined the teasing at me.

I chuckled. My phone vibrated.

Carl:

Still busy? You did not reply.

Carl, one of the hottest varsity from UST has been my active liker since last sem. He's really handsome but I ghosted him for a bit for that drooling boy, Rick. I just thought it must be an easy access for us to hang out since we're in the same Uni but nevermind. I'll hit this one up. He looks in game.

Me:

Uh, yeah. I forgot na rin, had too many work-related stuff to do.

" And look at the bitch, mukhang may bago nang flavor of the week."
