Hot Stuff

Chapter 1

Lazily my eyes stared at this shrimp lady in front of me. I glanced at her hair.. fake blonde! Then my eyes went down to her cheap clothes, well she's got the body but still I got this enormous boob and butt. Thanks to my Mom! I got nice boobs and sexy behind.

"You girls are not that even beautiful.." my eyes snapped at the girl beside her.

Yeah, indeed we are.. that beautiful, why it's a sin to even look at you now. My eyes narrowed at her.

"I heard that one of them is a major stockholder of our school. Why they are bullies like that!" another girl added.

I think these shrimps were talking about me. But Aunt Claire isn't my Mom.. and yeah my Aunt owned a huge share of this university. A lots of people knew about it because of the special treatment I had gotten from the Dean, even those staff and from my professors. But she's not my Mom, there was wrong about your information shrimp girls!

My brow raised, I actually did not like to have a fight with these girls coz my beloved Aldrich doesn't like a bully. He likes his girl.. sweet, adorable and finesse.

"And you Gladys Marie Catamisan, even you have the sweetest family name you have this ugly and bitter personality!! Aldrich would not look your way and never will!!" the shrimp has shouted at me.

My pateince wearing thin. I wanted to be a nice girl, but then she pulled the trigger.. that was even hitting below the belt. I stood up from my chair and faced her.

"What did you just say?" arching my brow at her.

She backed away a few steps before she tried to stand with head's up high.

"I said you are a bitter!! Coz Aldrich will never looking at you!!" she told me in her ugly thick voice and even dared to raise me a brow.

I heard how Quel and Sam burst out laughing from our table. I arched my brow and smiled at this shrimp. Getting my Latte Macchiato, taking off its cover before splashing it to her face.

"You b***h!" she was too surprised, she tried to slap me but I quickly held her wrist.

"Yeah I'm a b***h, a super duper evil b***h! So back off tempura!" I pushed her away and it made her slump to the floor.

I tsk. It's really true and confirmed now that shrimp has no backbone! b***h! I heard my friends laughed out loud, I looked at them and winked. No sweat! Suddenly they stopped laughing and pointed over my shoulder as my eyes snapped to these shrimp ladies.

My gaze passed them to the man that is nearing our direction. Not really he's coming for me but he'll surely pasing this place and he would witness again what I have done with these poor shrimps.

When he's about to pass where I stand, I looked down and let my shiny and so soft hair covering my face. I bit my lower lip, he's coming.

"Now you are acting like an adorable kitten? While few minutes ago you were like a tiger whose about to pounce on us?" one of the shrimps said.

I ignored them like they were not existing in my world anymore, patience Marie, later you can eat them alive in a silver plate. I looked at Aldrich, he shook his head when his gaze went to my direction before he continued walking.

When he's gone I glared at them. "Who's the tiger now?"

"No-no one!" one of them answered immediately. She helped her dumb shrimp friend and evaporated in the air.

Feeling irritated when I returned to my seat, Aldrich saw everything and perhaps took a glance of my bad reputation. When I got an infrormation from my reliable source that he did not like girls with well, not so nice attitude and bully.

"How sad, Aldrich has witnessed again how evil you are.. he saw 'The real Gladys Marie Mendoza Catamisan! All of pretentious acts will be useless and throw in the garbage after he saw you now." Chu pouted.

"Find another man! There's a plenty of fish in the sea Gladys, or choose from your admirers!" Adith commented.

"You're chasing a guy who doesn't like you a bit. You know it hurts to the mid, promise!" Quel raised her hand and brow.

"Yeah, have you seen it? He strode like as if Gladys was not here with us?" Chu exaggeratedly said.

"Yup, we all saw it Chu, you are not the only one whose got an eyes here!" Nhessa chuckled at her.

"But then.. chasing the love of your life is quite different, why I understand her." Sam smiled at me.

I smiled at her back, she was the only one who's still in full support with my craziness over my beloved Aldrich. Though all of my friends were supportive like her then.. but when Aldrich refused me as his date in a ball a year ago, they all seemed not in favour of him for me. They started hated the poor guy.

"You don't have a boyfriend Sam and for sure you didn't have this imaginary boyfriend of yours, how come you can relate with Gladys?" Quel raised her brow.

"Maybe I'm single but I'm inlove!" Sam said in a daydreaming tone like as if her eyes made a heart-shaped like in those anime.

"And who's the guy?" Chu inquired.

"To Adam Levine!" she answered abruptly. Their smile faded and pouted.

They ignored Sam and her ridiculous imagination, well Sam really an avid fan of bands and its vocalist. And as far as I know she has this favorite local band that has a death metal genre.

"So, back to you Gladys? Only a month and it's our graduation. It means.. you are not be able to see Aldrich again? Aren't you have any plans or you surrender now..?" Nhessa asked.

I heaved a deep sigh. I actually don't have any plans and just wanted him to like me back why I tried my best to become a good and a nicest girl on earth ever.

"Not really.. coz all of my plans before were failed and not effective. Still I did not get him in the end." my eyes were on my cheese cakes and murdering it like as if all of my frustrations have poured in this poor dessert.

"Then you're giving him up?" Nhessa again.

"I'm not, okay?! I'm thinking on what will I do next.. to make him fall for me.. hard.. and fast."

"I have a plan.. if you're game. But chances are he will fall for you like really hard fall or he will curse you for the rest of his life! Or he might extend his gratitude after this." she said seriously.

"What is it? What kind of plan is that Nhessa? Gladys will going to apply as Aldrich's helper?" Chu squinted her eyes.

"Or she will kidnap him?" Quel.

"She will start courting him?" Sam forehead creased. "But I think she already did that when we were still in second year!?"

"Why not let Nhessa talk first??" Adith butted it.

"What is it then?" too curious to know..

She cleared her throat then she looked at me for a second. "I can plan.. an unforgettable and steamy one night stand for you and Aldrich.."

"No way!" my eyes widened.

I loved Aldrich but I don't think I could give myself to him just like that. That's too.. too much for me.

"Then forget it! That's my plan if you are game but it seems you're not. Just forget about it." she shrugged.

"But if you going to ask me, why not? I love the guy.. even if we were not ended up in a relationship at least I gave him my v-card." Quel grinned.

"Don't listen to Quel, Gladys. That should've be done after marriage!" Sam swallowed hard after saying it.

"Then what about Chu? She's all the way to his boyfriend?" Quel raised a brow.

"But they are in a relationship.." Adith.

"Let me think about this.." I sighed.

Sam and Quel continued arguing about it. It was a big deal for me also. Even I had my boyfriends back then I still know my limitations. And I stopped dating men when I met the love of my life.. Aldrich.

Sam and Chu went home with me, while Adith, Quel and Nhessa left in our school. We all three in our circle who have cars, aside the two, Sam and Chu. The two usually hitched to us as we're living in a same roof, well aside of Sam.

She was too attached to her parents, when one time she had a sleep over in our apartment she never fell asleep, been restless like a fan on the bed. She could not sleep she said, why we all ended up up all night.

Our friendship had started a few months after we bumped in each other as a freshmen. We flocked instantly and decided to get an apartment near the university.

And though Sam was not living with us she seemed like a tenant too. Coz after her class, she always in our apartment just to kill the time. And was lessen just last semester, when we all got busied with our on the job training.

We were all in the couches while watching Zootopia while the other girls are on the carpet. Even we all girls here, we are not living in a love stories. We knew other film, more Sam as she always suggesting on watching horror suspense film as her favorite genre.

"Hey Sam, it's past five now. What time you going home?" Adith asked her.

"Later, after this last movie. This one is really funny."

"We only have weeks to be like this, next month we are all busy with our life." I sighed and then pouted.

"Why we have to make this fabulous.. let's go out tomorrow." Nhessa.

"Do you all girls have your company to work after graduation?" Chu asked while eating her pop corn.

"I did not pass any application just yet." Sam.

"Me too, I like to take a rest first." Adith.

"How about you, Gladys? You will work in Fuentebella & Nordstorm?" Quel asked.

"Yup, that's my Aunt's suggestion. And one of her requirements is to work under the F&N, to gain my graduation gift." I shrugged answering her.

"At least you will have work, though you are not yet graduate. When we are just about to apply." Sam.

"Yeah. The perks of having a relative in business world not just a simple businesswoman but an owner of a huge company in the Philippines!" Nhessa grinned at me.

My Mom's sister is one of the owner of F&N company. And as the CEO of that huge company, my Aunt demanded me to work for her. I am close to my Aunt Claire and too spoiled than my real mother. Well because I'm a Daddy's girl. I'm more close to my Dad than my Mom, but don't get me wrong.. I am super sweet also to my Mom.

My Dad is a Navy Commander in United States of America, though he was still out for his duty, it was never a hinder to our closeness not a bit. Whenever he's on a vacation in the philippines, it took a months or two.. staying with us. And we have house in Washington coz he's base is near there. But between my two siblings Brix and Hannah, no one dared to live in the U.S.. And soon my Dad would retire and we will going to be together again without his work bothering him.

"Sam I'll drive you in Antipolo, getting home tonight.." I suggested when she voiced out that she was going home. We are both living in Antipolo.

"Okay!" she first out the house.

"Are you fine with fast food?" asking the three girls.

"No, rice cakes and and nuts." Chu.

"Yes, sweet nuts." Quel.

"I'm fine with rice cake, the yellow one!" Adith grinned.

"How about you, Nhessa?"

"A starbucks coffee, the one from Antipolo, got it?" she said nonchalantly.

"What the hell? Why it needs from Antipolo? When this house is just a block away from SB?" Adith creased her forehead.

"Ohh! Shut it, I'm craving for SB coffee of Antipolo, then rice cakes.. perfect!" Nhessa looked like she was really craving for it.

"Are-are you pregnant?" Sam's eyes widened as her head poked on the door. She might get bored waiting me there outside.

"Just because I crave, I am now pregnant? Aren't women could crave food from Antipolo and not being pregnant at the same time?" Nhessa rolled her eyes.

"Oh, is that so?" Sam trailed off.

"Are you thinking of other things, Sam Barbara Yagono?" Nhessa grinned at her.

"I said don't put that Barbara in my name!" Sam rolled her eyes and disappeared.

They all burst out laughing, Sam did not like it when you put "Barbara" to her name, but when one time she had a sleep over here she actually wearing a "Barbie" night dress. Well no Barbie like Goth, when Sam too obessed of black colours.

"We got to go." I told the girls.

We might run a close stall in Antipolo. When it almost six of the evening and adding the way there. Take note, they all knew that I will return tomorrow and not late night.
