Chapter 39 - Cruella de Vil

Chapter Thirty Nine
"Cruella de Vil"
Daniel Rouge Gustilyo's Point of View

At first I thought the party was just a normal one, like the ones you see in typical movies, but it was different, it looked more like a costume party — 'yun nga lang you have to wear revealing clothes and reveal something with you also, andaming tao pala sa Club Monaco na 'to. Everyone was wearing fabric laced like those worn for intimate romances — staying true to the theme I guess. But I'd never thought I'd stand out dahil sa suot kong itim na faux fur coat, well thanks to Prada for this expensive coat.

Everyone was staring at me dahil ako itong ang laki-laki ng coat at nasa harap pa nila na nakatayo.

I'm not used to this.

"You'll get used to this." Ani Hans sa akin habang hawak-hawak ako sa bewang ko — he squeezed it. I just rolled my eyes at him atsaka naunang naglakad sa kaniya kaya nabitawan nito ako.

I walked myself in front of everyone and they just kept on staring at me as if I'm some sort of a devil.

"Cruella de Vil." Bati sa akin ni Romeo. He wore his usual smug with him.

May kasalanan pa 'tong gagong 'to sa akin. "You showed up! Akala ko 'di ka dadating dito." I noticed he was wearing a black ruffled chiffon long sleeves. Bagay sa kaniya, bagay para ibalabad sa leeg ang ruffles at isakal sa kaniya.

"Oh, I had to. After all I was invited and needed publicity." Sagot ko rito. "At isa pa, I've been searching for you." I added. "You haven't showed up ever since you spilled some beans at home!" I yelled at him trying to fake a laugh.

Napalunok naman si Romeo sa akin pero ngumiti lamang ito. So I just smiled at him coyly too. Nabigla na lamang ako nang lumapit si Hans sa akin atsaka ako pinalayo sa kaniya. "'Di mo ba alam na kinakausap ko pa ang tao?" Maktol ko sa kaniya dahil hinihila niya ako papunta sa isang kwarto. Hans just smiled at me.

"I know, but I want you to meet these people." 'Di na ako nakapagpalag dahil pinaharap niya ako sa tatlong lalaki. "They're models too. Top models." Dagdag pa nito.

"That's Dimitry." Pakilala ni Hans sa akin atsaka nginuso ang lalaki, agad naman na inalok ng lalaki ang kamay nito sa akin. But as a Gustilyo, I didn't accept it.

I observed Dimitry, he was tall, hunky and quite bearded, parang isang Palestinian prince. He was somehow attractive but his facial hair is a no to me. I don't know, I just want to kiss that hair.

Hindi nabigla ang Dimitry na'to sa akin dahil 'di ko tinanggap ang kamay niya. "Well I guess the rumors are true. Gustilyos don't do handshakes."

I just gave him a fainted smile, "It's a tradition." And smiled at him.

Tumawa naman ito sa akin. "Anyway, Dani I also want you to meet Kiefer and Levine." Tumango lang ako sa kanilang dalawa. "They're brothers."

"Well I don't see the resemblance." Bigla naman akong kinurot ni Hans.

Hans whispered something, "Behave Daniel, you're in front of some top models." I just rolled my eyes at him at pinaupo nito ako sa gitna ng tatlong lalaki. "I'll be back so enjoy ka muna dito." Utos nito sa akin at lumabas ng kwarto.
