Tangled With The Devils (Devils #2)

Chapter 17

YNALEE Maxwell got this feeling that she's been watched. She just don't know when this feeling started.

But she became more alert than before that she could not trust a stranger anymore.

Pagkahatid na pagkahatid sa kanya ni Detective Dumapidez ay hindi niya na ito pinansin kahit na nagpupumilit ito.

Agad siyang dumiretso sa loob ng bahay. As she reached her room she threw her bag aside and closed the curtains of her window.

Stalkers weren't a thing that scares her. Why would anyone stalk her anyway when she is not that interesting at all. But she just hated it when she is exposed from her window even if there might be no one watching her there anyway.

Umupo siya sa kanyang desk at binuksan ang kanyang laptop. Doon ay inopen niya ang kanyang blog na nagpupublish ng update every week.

For her, she took her readers comment as her motiovation. And she felt like she have been relieved from a stress.

It was her hobby to post an update of every place she would travel to and make a literary critic on it.

There was nothing more satisfying than a sip of coffee and a bite of chocolate as she relinquish all her words like a canvas on the screen.

"They are all agreeing..." She muttered as she read a readers comment. "I guess I should accept the challenge."

She was about to hit the word reply on her comment section when something popped up on her screen.

It seems like a message from her Mail-E so she hit the accept button. But what she couldn't get is that it was a file. It started downloading in an instant, it went on for five seconds before she finally hit the downloaded file.

It was a folder.

One video, one picture, and one word document.

Hindi niya alam kung ano ang mga iyon kaya mas pinili na niya lamang na i-play ang video. The video were shaky at first that she couldn't comprehend what was going on until finally the place, seem too familar for her not to recognize it.

Pinanood niya pa ito hanggang sa mapatayo siya bigla sa kanyang kinakatayuan, It was a a footage of the masaccre that happened on their previous school

__Victorique's POV__

RENESSANCE is a bar of what you would come up with if you're probably thinking of a dangerous place to come to, as a teenager. I've never really been to any bars with Yna and Elle, or even without them. Call me boring or whatever but I don't prefer hanging out in bars if I want to blow off some steams. It's not an option for me to ruin my life if I want to have some fun.

I would rather venture to other places that I haven't discovered.

So Renessance is not a good start for me.

"Nandito na tayo." Sabi ng taxi na sinasakyan ko.

Medyo nagulat pa ako sa sinabi ng taxi kasi wala talaga akong kaide-ideya kung saan pa nakatayo ang naturang bar. Hindi ko na nga rin namalayan kung gaano na kalayo ang binyahe ko. Tinignan ko na lamang ang metro at nakita kong nasa 150 plus na pala ang babayaran ko.

Nagdadalawang-isip tuloy ako kung tutuloy ba ako o hindi. Baka kasi kapag uuwi na ako mamaya ay wala akong masakyan na dyip niyan.

I look from my surroundings and realized that there were still a number of taxis passing in both roads so I guess I will still make it home.

From where I am standing the sunset is bright orange while the sky is turning blue on the horizon, soon the nightsky would spread, and I need to finish my business with him if I don't want to go home late.

My forehead creased in annoyance when I heard the music being played inside the bar of which seems more like a casino, according to the structure. The bar is higher than I would imagine it to be, and usually you would anticipate that the interior design would involve a diamond balls which I think is the reason why all the people there were seem to be in daze. However, the outside is already full of colors, not in an exaggerated way, the color were only created I think because of the diamonds that was placed in all over the place. Diamonds shows different colors in different angles and if the sun goes through it you happen to meet the ray of illumination, you would probably turn away.

From my distance that is beginning to enclose the place between me and Renessance, I could here the beginning of another music of another music playing inside. And I would say that it's a great choice of song.

I could almost stomp my feet as I touched the my heels in each step. The hitting of the drum of the song, "17 crimes" by AFI made me want to just storm right in and bang my body on the dance floor, which I haven't done before.

"You lost, missy?" Napatingin ako sa mala-muscle na katawan ng lalaking humarang sa akin.

Pakiramdam ko ngayon ay nakikita ko na sa personal si Hulk niyan. Except for the skin part. And, well, all bars should have bouncers as I frequently with movies I watch to.

"I'm not." Sagot ko saka sinubukang pumasok sa loob ngunit hinarangan nila akong dalawa.

"Hindi pwedeng pumasok ang menor de edad dito."

"Excuse me?!" Naiinsultong tanong ko sa kanila.

For all they know, I am already nineteen years old! Hindi ba halata sa mukha ko?!

"I'm already nineteen!" Naaasar na saad ko sa kanila saka muling sinubukang pumasok ngunit muli na naman nila ako hinarangan.

Huminga ako ng malalim at hinigpitan ang paghawak sa strap ng shoulder bag ko. Ang sarap ihampas ng bag ko sa kanila, eh.

"We can't believe you, missy." Sabi nung isa. "Sa itsura mo, para kang pinabili ng nanay mo ng suka at naligaw ka lang dito."

Nagtagis ang bagang ko. "Ang kapal! Ikaw naman mukha kang macho dancer na mali ang pinasukan na bar!"

Nanlaki ang mata nito at akmang susuntokin ako nang pinilan ito ng lalaking kausap ko kanina. Ano ba iyon, I will just call them bouncer 1 and bouncer 2.

"Chill ka lang, baka nga nineteen na itong si ganda." Sabi ni bouncer 1. "sige papapasukin ka namin."

Huminga ako ng malalim nang gumilid sila para paraanin ako nang bigla hinarang ni bouncer 1 ang kamay niya sa akin at walang pakundangang hinawakan ang dibdib ko. Hindi ako nakareak sa sobrang gulat.

"Pero para sigurado, bakit hindi mo patunayan sa kama na nineteen ka na nga?" Nakangising tanong nito habang dinidilaan pa ang labi na parang rapist.

Agad na kumulo ang dugo ko sa sinabi niya kaya hindi ko namalayan na pinalis ko na pala ang kamay niya sa dibdib ko at walang pakundangan na sinuntok siya sa pisngi. Nakita ko ang gulat sa mukha niya kaya kinuha ko na ang pagkakataon na iyon na sipain ang p*********i niya na ikinahiyaw niya naman.

"Putang--" Napalingon ako kay bouncer 2 nang bigla siyang maglabas ng batbat at akmang hahampasin ako nang sa gulat ko ay bigla na lamang itong tumilapon sa sahig.

Napanganga ako nang makita ko ang dugo na dumausdos sa ulo nito nang mapahiga sa sahig at mula sa likod ng kinakatayuan niya kanina ay may nakita akong bulto ng isang tao na nakatago sa madilim na parte ng loob ng bar. Only the a small amount of light was hindering me from seeing all his features.

Then I heard the sound of a metallic thing being hit on the ground. Mula sa talampakan ng taong iyon ay nakita ko ang isang de-bakal na baseball bat na may dugo sa dulo. I stared at it in amazement, I never thought that baseball bats are also good for kicking butt.

But my smile faded as the silhouette slowly emerge from the dark room. It was weird to see him again after what happened between us. It's gives me a fuzzy and strange feeling.

I never realized that he looked kind of different until I noticed his unruly hair, and restless eyes where there are dark circles starting to form underneath. There were also stubble on his chin that I may say that only made him more manly. I usually hate bearded guy's but oh boy, he was attractive with those stubble.

And oh boy, what am I thinking!

Humalukipkip ako at pinatili ko ang straight face ko. "So, ano na ang kailangan mo--eek!"

Mahina akong napatili nang walang pakundangan na hinila niya ang aking kamay na parang walang narinig.

"T-teka, pwede namang mag-usap sa labas diba? Hindi naman kailangang hilain ako tutal--"

Naitakip ko sa kabilang tainga ko ang malaya kong kamay nang sa wakas ay makapasok na kaming dalawa. Hindi ko alam kung paano nila natitiis ang ganitong kalakas na musika pero bilib na ako sa kanila at nagagawa pa nilang sumayaw sa lagay na iyan.

"Oh, f*ck!"

Halos mamilog ang bibig ko nang makita ko ang ginagawa ng ilan sa mga tao na nandoon. Sa sobrang gulat ko ay natigil na pala ako sa paglalakad mula sa kanyang paghila. I thought that I was already prepared of what I am about to see inside a bar, but I was wrong though.

Because everywhere I look all I could see is naked women, and pairs or whatever they are called, doing immoral things publicly! Did you hear me?!

"Oh my--" Hindi ko na natuloy ang lintanya ko nang may makita akong nagfo-foursome sa may gilid ko lang. Hindi ko na nakayanan at napatili ako sa sobrang trauma sa nakita ko.

Pero agad na natigil ang pagsigaw ko nang maramdaman ko na lamang na may isang kamay na humarang sa paningin ko at hilain ako papunta sa isang matigas na katawan. I was paralyzed all over when I felt his familiar heat once again.

"You never screamed when you see violence, but you would when you sex." I heard him mumbled against the loud music of the bar. I wondered why I could hear him but then I realized why when I felt his hot breath against my ear. "but I am the only one who could make you scream, couldn't I?"

"Anong--" Napasinghap ako nang sinimulan na niya akong kaladkarin habang ang isa niyang kamay ay nakatakip pa rin sa akin.

Hindi na ako nakaangal pa dahil pakiramdam ko ay pasong-paso ako sa kamay niyang mahigpit na nakapalibot sa beywang ko. Kaya naman dikit na dikit ang likod ko at ang katawan niya. Lumunok ako habang nagpapatianod lang sa kanya.

Nakakapagtaka lang na parang wala kaming nababangga na katawan habang naglalakad kami na para bang kusa silang nagme-make ng way sa dararaanan namin.

Maya-maya pa ay narinig ko na lamang ang pagbukas ng isang pinto na mayroon ding tumutogtog na musika. Nakakarindi lang dahil magkaiba ang musika dito sa loob at sa labas.

"Get out." Narinig kong sabi niya.

"But Chauslte, we haven't had s*x yet!" Hindi ko alam pero nang marinig ko ang malanding boses ng babaeng iyon ay nairita ako lalo. "come one! Bakit may dala-dala kang bata? Nawawala ba yung nanay niyan?" Ngayon ay wala na akong gustong gawin kung hindi ay sapain ang babaeng iyon. 

What did she just said?!

Bata?! Bakit ba nila sinasabi na bata pa ako?! Nineteen na ako! Nineteen!

Magsasalita na sana ako nang may maramdaman akong humihila sa buhok ko. Napasinghap ako nang humigpit bigla ang pagkakahila ng buhok.

"Why settle for an elementary body when you get a--"

"Let go!"

Napapitlag ako nang marinig ko ang sigaw niyang iyon. Pati na rin yata ang babaeng kausap niya dahil hindi ko nararamdaman ang pahila sa aking buhok.

I just stood there unable to move while I felt his hands around me getting more tighter. Hanggang sa marinig ko na lamang ang pagsara ng pinto sa likod ko at ang paghiwalay niya sa akin ng tuluyan.

Akala ko kakaposin na ako ng hininga dahil hindi na siya hihiwalay sa akin, kaya naman nagpapasalamat ako nang malaman na malayo na siya sa akin.

Then I felt something hit me. It was just a cloth so it didn't hurt me--

Halos manlaki ang mata ko nang makita ang itsura ng damit. Or should I say red lingerie?!

The lingerie had lace designs all over it and I think it is the only cloth in the lingerie that isn't see through, the rest is almost visible on the eyes! My trembling fingers went to what look like a t back underwear that made all of the hairs on my body raise.

"Sh*t! Bakit mo ba pinakita sa akin ang mga ito?! Hindi mo ba alam na nakakatakot ang mga--"

"Wear that."

Tigagal na tinignan ko siya, "Excuse me?!"

Hindi ko napansin na malapit na pala siya sa akin habang abala ako sa pageeskandalo sa hawak ko na damit. My eyes suddenly froze when I saw him taking a sip on a bottle of wine. I gulped when I saw his adams apple went up and down as he swallowed the wine.

Then accidentally my eyes caught his gaze on me. Now, I wondered what he was swallowing, is it the wine? Or...something else?

"Anong ginagawa mo?" Natatarantang tanong ko nang mapansin ko na humahakbang na pala siya palapit sa akin. Hanggang sa mapasandal ako sa isang dinding.

 "stop, I need space!" 

"Strip."

Halos madurog ko na ang damit na hawak ko nang sabihin niya iyon.

"At anong susuotin ko?! Ito?!" Ani ko habang winawagayway sa pagmumukha niya ang damit na binigay niya sa akin. "Hello?! Ano ako tanga?! Alam ko kung anong binabalak mo! Kaya kung ayaw mong sipain ko din iyang 'sa'yo', I suggest that you should stop what you are planning!" Sigaw ko sa kanya saka walang pakundangang humakbang palayo sa kanya.

Pero hindi pa ako nakakalayo nang marinig ko siyang magsalita.

"You seem to forgot something."

Napahinga ako. What now?

"Kung ano man iyan--"

Maybe it was a bad thing to turn around because when I did I felt like he have steal my shame when I saw my panty that I wore the night we did that thing!

"Ahhhh!" Napatili ako habang hawak-hawak niya iyon sa isang kamay. Idagdag pa ang mapang-asar niyang ngiti na halatang may gustong gawin na masama.

At ang mas nakakahiya pa ay ang naka-print na words doon sa panty ko.

"You lost something?" Then he grinned wickedly. "Little kitty?"

You got it right! Little Kitty and naka-print sa panty ko!

"Sure, you are nineteen but wearing an elementary underwear isn't making you nineteen."

Nanlaki mata ko. "Anong sabi mo--"

"And to top it all, there sure is nothing to touch with that tiny breast you have." Pakiramdam ko ay parang nabastos ako sa sinabi niya.

What did he just say?!

"A girl like you is a huge turn off."

That's it! "Hindi na ako bata!" Asar na sigaw ko.

Nandilim na talaga ang paningin ko sa pinagsasabi niya kaya hindi ko na namalayan na tinalon ko na pala siya at sinuntok siya. Halos magdiwang ako nang masapol ko ang mukha niya.

But then I felt mesirably to get my underwear back so I just keep on hitting him until my hearts content.

"Ibalik mo panty ko! Ibalik mo panty ko!"

Akala ko hahayaan niya akong magdiwang sa pagsuntok ko sa kanya nang maramdaman ko na lamang ang pagpigil niya sa magkabila kong kamay, saka naramdaman ang pagbalya niya ng katawan ko sa dingding ng malakas na halos mapatigil ako sa ginagawa ko.

"If you want it back..."

Napaigik nang maramdaman ko ang pagkagat niya sa tainga ko. "Gag*!"

He just smiled once again as if I just complimented him. "Then wear the clothes I've given you." Then he added when he saw me still glaring at him. "or you want me to send it a gift to your fiancee?"

Nagulantang ako sa sinabi niya. "You won't do that!" Singhap ko.

"Try me." Before I could react. He already left me on my place and went to the couch and sat there. "I'll wait here."

I have no other choice, he won.

"Saan ako magbibihis?" Tanong ko.

"Right where you are standing."

Halos humalik na ang panga ko sa lupa nang sabihin niya iyon. Pinagloloko niya ba ako?! Nakaharap kaya siya sa akin!

"Hindi ako magbibihis hangga't  nakaharap ka sa akin!" Bulyaw ko sa kanya.

Lalo lang kumulo ang dugo ko nang nagkibit-balikat ko siya.

"What is there to see anyway?"

"Aba't ang kapal mo! Madaming makikita sa akin na hindi mo pa nakikita! Hindi mo alam na tinatago ko lang ang alindog ko." Nagtatagis ang bagang na saad ko.

He tilted his head on one side and I could tell that he was about to mock me.

"As far as I remember, I've seen all of you that night when me had s*x. It wasn't attractive at all, so why bother." He taunted as he look at me with challenging eyes.

I never thought that I could feel this kind of rage with someone else. I am so irritated and angry, I was even afraid that I'll get mad. Which is more crazier that being angry.

"It wasn't attractive?" You are challenging me?!

"Is it so hard to--"

Hindi ko na siya pinatapos sa pananlita pa nang walang pakundangan na inalis ko ang pagkakabotones ng aking pang-itaas at pinasayad iyon sa aking balikat. And as soon as my uniform reached the ground, I threw him a challenging look.

"Then you wouldn't mind if I change in front of you then?"

I thought that I will lose this challenge when he didn't utter a word.

Then I saw the change in his eyes, they were narrow and deep. And full of dancing light like a fire just ignited the blue flame.

I smiled as I unhook my brassier and let it down freely. 

I accept the challenge, mister devil.
