Chapter 5: Naughty

Odette's POV

 

"How amazing! Parang romance movie lang! A one-night stand with a man who turned out to be your professor?" kinikilig na tili ni Danica nang i-kuwento ko sa kaniya ang nangyari kanina.

 

Him, being my professor, is something that I never expected to happen. The world is so big and yet I still met him again. Ang mas nakakagulat, isa pala siya sa mga bagong propesor ng klaseng kinabibilangan ko ngayong semester.

 

"I know, right!"

 

I was so thrilled for the events that happened this morning so I told my cousin to come to my condo. Mabilis naman siyang pumunta dahil alam kong nayayamot na siya sa bahay nila. Pagkapunta niya dito ay dumeretso siya sa kuwarto ko at sumalampak sa kama.

 

Hindi ko pa sa kanya na-ku-kwento ang nangyari sa classroom. I'm sure she will make fun of me if she finds out that a man rejected me after a one-night stand. Bukambibig ko pa naman si Develrick nung mga nakaraang araw.

 

"But actually, he—"

 

Itutuloy ko sana ang kuwento ko pero biglang nag-ring ang phone niya. Agad niya itong dinampot bago sumulyap saakin na parang humihingi ng excuse.

 

Tumango ako. "Go ahead and answer it. Take your time."

 

Pinaningkitan niya ako ng mata. "Ikaw, ha. You need to continue your kuwento. I'll be quick."

 

Nginitian ko lang siya bilang tugon. Nasa exciting part na kami ng kuwento pero hindi niya naman puwedeng balewalain ang phone call niya. Lumabas na siya sa kuwarto para makipagusap sa tumawag sa kaniya.

 

I decided to check my phone to see if I also received a notification from anyone and saw Anna's message that was sent 2 minutes ago. Hinihintay ko talaga ang text niya kaya mabilis ko itong binuksan.

 

'Ito na ang email ni Sir Flores. I hope you can accommodate your concern!'

 

Malawak akong napangiti nang makita ang message ni Anna. Siya kasi ang may pinakamaraming connection sa campus kaya nagpatulong ako sa kaniya para makuha ang email ni sir. Dinahilan ko na may kailangan akong itanong kay Develrick tungkol sa subject na hawak niya saamin. Wala namang dahilan para hindi maniwala saakin si Anna kaya agad niya rin akong tinulungan para maibigay saakin ang email na gusto ko makuha.

 

I gave my thanks to Anna bago ako dumapa sa kama. I was grinning from ear to ear when I opened my G***l to send him a message.

 

'Hi sir, have you already eaten?'

 

I sent that email with a big smile on my face. He better think that he's lucky to receive such a message from me. Never akong naging sweet sa mga ex-boyfriend ko. He is the only man who is being treated like this by me.

 

Ilang minuto ako naghintay ng reply niya pero wala pa rin akong natanggap. I know that he is probably busy, pero hindi pa rin ako sanay na pinaghihintay ako ng mga lalaki.

 

Feeling impatient, I sent him another email. Mukha kasing hindi sapat ang simpleng tanong na 'yon para makuha ang atensyon niya.

 

'You don't have a social media account? Matagal na kitang hinahanap sa internet, pero wala akong nakitang account mo. You really are the mysterious one, aren't you?'

 

I thought that it would take him hours to reply to my messages, and I was even planning to spam him so he could not have any choice but to notice me, but I was surprised when I received a reply this time.

 

'Miss Odette, this email is for my professional purposes. Stop sending me emails with nonsensical contents.'

 

Isang ngisi ang gumuhit sa gilid ng labi ko. Nonsense? Nonsense ba ang messages ng girlfriend niya?

 

Nag-isip ako ng puwedeng i-reply sa kaniya.  A mischievous grin spread across my face as I got an idea. What if I send him something that he can never ignore? Will he be able to retain his professionalism? 

 

I am currently wearing a sexy black night dress and my hair is a little messy. Mamula-mula at nag-g-glow din ang balat ko dahil katatapos ko lang maligo at gawin ang skincare routine ko. I snapped a few sexy photos of myself, knowing exactly how to grab his attention.

 

Without hesitation, I uploaded the steamy photos to my email and typed a teasing message: ''I feel so lonely without my boyfriend.', knowing that Develrick wouldn't be able to resist opening it. I hit send and with a smirk on my face, my heart racing with excitement.

 

Ilang saglit lang ay may lumabas nanamang notification mula sa kaniya. I bit my lip and opened it.

 

'?'

 

I chuckled because of that reply. Question mark? Anong klaseng tugon 'yon? I know he knows what I'm trying to do.

 

Hinanap ako sa gallery ko ng picture kong naka pulang bikini. Nasa dagat ako noon at naka post habang nakaupo sa buhangin. My legs were exposed and the rays of sunlight were beautifully hitting my curvy body. It is the sexiest photo I took this year and I haven't posted it yet. Sunod kong sinend 'yon sa kanya sa email. 

 

'Ay, na send ulit.'

 

He is probably getting annoyed at my messages right now, pero wala akong pakialam. I will do whatever I want to do to get his attention. Kukulitin ko siya hanggang sa hindi niya na ako maalis sa isipan niya.

 

A minute later and I received another reply. I knew I'd be irresistible no matter how much he try to ignore me.

 

'What the fuck are you doing?'

 

Hindi ko napigilang humalakhak nang sobrang lakas dahil sa reply niya. Akala ko ba professional siya? Eh bakit siya nagmumura?

 

'Sending inspirational photos to my boyfriend? Para naman ganahan kang magturo bukas, Professor Flores.'

 

Natatawa ako nang isend ko 'yon sa kanya. I can't help but imagine the expression he's having at this moment. Dumugo ba ang ilong niya sa sexy photos ko?

 

"You smirk like an idiot,"

 

Natigilan lang ako nang marinig ang boses ni Danica. I laughed and shook my head. "I'm talking to him," bulaslas ko.

 

Lumapit siya saakin habang may dalang cup noodles. Kaya pala siya natagalan dahil naghanda pa siya ng makakain. Maingat na inabot niya saakin ang isang cup na umuusok pa sa init. 

 

Umupo siya sa tabi ko. "I'm curious now. Ano kaya ang feeling to have a relationship with your professor?" she asked randomly before she started eating her noodles.

 

"He's very challenging." mabilis kong tugon habang may malawak na ngiti. Inilapag ko muna ang cup noodles sa bedside table. "Isipin mo, we are going to have a secret relationship. Parang hidden affair na itatago namin sa lahat."

 

Hiding secrets is always exciting. Mas interesting ang buhay kapag may thrill na nagaganap.

 

"He will teach in the class to which I belong, and I will see him often. Busog na nga ako sa kagwapuhan niya tapos madami pa akong matututunan sa mga lessons niya. My blockmates will all see him as a strict and grumpy professional, while I know that he is much more than that in bed!" tili ko at kinikilig na hinawakan ang namumula kong pisnge.

 

"Gosh, cousin!" natatawa niyang ipinalibot ang mga mata niya. "Kinikilabutan ako kapag nakikita kang namumula nang sobra. He is the first ever guy who made you feel so kilig like that!"

 

Humahagikhik lang ako at ipinagpatuloy ang pag-kuwento sa kanya. Devlerick didn’t send me a reply after my last message. Hindi ko na rin pinagpatuloy ang pangungulit sa kaniya dahil gusto kong maranasan niya ang mangulila saakin. He is definitely getting crazy over me now.

 

Kinabukasan, I wore a long bodycon dress that is below the knee. I know that it hugs the curve of my body perfectly, kaya sexy pa rin ako tingnan kahit hindi revealing. It's sleeveless so I wore a white cardigan that matches my brown outfit and sandals.

 

Sumakay ako sa kotse ko, pero bago magmaneho ay binuksan ko muna ang phone ko para magsend ng email kay Develrick.

 

'Papasok na ako. What are you doing right now?'

 

He didn't send me a reply, as I expected. Ayoko namang ma-late kakahintay sa kaniya kaya nagmaneho na ako para pumasok sa university.

 

Masyado pang maaga nang makarating ako kaya iilan pa lang ang mga makikitang estudyante sa campus. I was thinking of going to the library, but when I was on my way there, my sight was caught on an office.

 

Tiningnan ko muna ang paligid. The CCTV camera was broken so I was able to get in without hesitation. Nilibot ko ang paligid at nalamang tama nga ang hinala ko. This is Develrick's office. Wala siya o ibang tao sa loob.

 

Maingat ko munang sinarado ang pinto bago lumapit sa desk niya. His desktop is on, so I believe that he's already here. Marahil ay may pinuntahan lang siya saglit sa labas kaya wala siya dito.

 

Nahagip ng mga mata ko ang isang picture frame na nasa gilid ng desktop niya. A smile formed on my lips when I saw a photo of a young version of Develrick hugging an old lady, whom I assume is his grandmother. 

 

Nahuhumaling ako sa malawak na ngiting nakaguhit sa labi niya kaya mabilis kong nilabas ang phone ko para kuhanan ng litrato ang picture frame na 'yon. This is the first time I have seen him with that genuine smile. Palagi kasi siyang nakasimagot at mukhang masungit. His childhood is probably happy for him to smile like that.

 

I was smiling from ear to ear but it faded when I heard footsteps getting near the office. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at mabilis na yumuko para magtago sa ilalim ng lamesa. The front is covered and the space is quite enough for me to fit in.

 

Maya-maya ay narinig kong nagbukas ang pinto. Mariin kong ipinikit ang mga mata ko dahil sa katangahan na ginagawa ko ngayon.

 

Bakit ba ako nagtatago? I could just make some excuses if he would ask me why I'm here. Masyado lang akong nagulat at nataranta sa bigla niyang pagdating.

 

But what if he will think that I'm a stalker? Hindi ba nakakahiya 'yon? My pride wouldn't be able to take it if a man called me a stalker. Magmumukha akong desperada. I sure like to tease him a lot, but it's okay because he's my boyfriend. Hindi ako desperada!

 

Bakit pa ako mahihiya kung makita niya ako dito? I can just say that I'm giving him a visit. Boyfriend ko siya at walang masama doon.

 

"So, how's the new environment?"

 

I was about to get out of my hiding place when I heard a female voice talking. Nalaman ko na hindi lang si Develrick ang pumasok sa office, may kasama pa siyang babae, kaya hindi muna ako umalis sa pinagtataguan ko. Siguro naman ay hindi magtatagal ang babaeng 'yon sa office na 'to.

 

"It's fine. Ganito rin naman ang university na pinagturuan ko noon. There are differences but I can easily adjust and manage." tugon naman ni Develrick. Pagkatapos niyang sabihin 'yon ay narinig ko ang pagsarado ng pinto.

 

What? Why is he letting the door close with just 2 of them inside?

 

"As expected from you, Develrick." the woman said with a chuckle.

 

Naningkit ang mga mata ko. Sino naman ang babaeng ito? Why does he sound so flirty with my boyfriend?

 

"Usap-usapan ka ng mga estudyante dito. They are interested in the new professor who graduated from a prestigious school abroad and is a former teacher of a famous university in the country."

 

"I know that they are scared of me, kaya hindi na ako magugulat kung lagi nila akong pinaguusapan." he chuckled at his own words.

 

Nararamdaman kong nag-iinit ang ulo ko, hindi dahil sa temperatura, kundi dahil sa paraan ng pag-uusap nilang dalawa. Nakakasiguro ako na isa ring propesor ang babaeng nandito at nahahalata ko sa boses niya na may iba siyang intensyon maliban sa pakikipagkaibigan.

 

Narinig ko ang lapit nila kaya nakaramdam ako ng kaba. It would be so embarrassing if the female teacher would caught me hiding here so I started to panic. Medyo nakahinga ako nang maluwag nang si Develrick lang ang lumapit at umupo sa upuan niya. I was directly below his desk, hidden from the other woman's view.

 

He was about to work on his computer when he noticed me ducked and hiding below him. Nanlaki ang mga mata niya at napasinghap siya dahil sa sobrang gulat.

 

"What—"

 

"Shh!" sinenyasan ko siya na 'wag magsalita at ipahalata na nasa baba ako.

 

He blinked several times while feeling confused. Mabuti na lang ay nabalik niya agad ang sarili niya. Tumikhim siya at umiwas ng tingin na parang walang nakita.

 

Mabilis niyang inayos ang upo niya at inatras ang upuan para mas maitago ako. He got closer to me to make sure that I could be hidden properly. Medyo sumikip ang tinataguan ko pero wala akong reklamo dahil siya naman ang nasa harapan ko.

 

"Develrick, are you alright?"

 

"Yes," he responded with a convincing smile.

 

How dare he smile like that in front of another woman. Saakin niya lang dapat ipinapakita ang ngiti na 'yon dahil ako ang girlfriend niya!

 

Muli siyang sumulyap sa baba kung saan ako nagtatago. Our eyes met and I could see his face turning red because of the position we got stuck in.

 

Natigilan din ako nang ma-realize ang nangyayari. I am hiding below him. Kitang-kita ko ang postura niya habang nakaupo sa harapan ko. My head is between his legs and I can feel the tension in the heat of the moment.

 

Nakikita ko rin ang halo ng pagtataka, gulat, at panic sa mga mata at kilos niya. I know how much he wants to be mad and ask me what the hell I am doing here but he doesn't want the female teacher to find out that I'm hiding below his desk. Ano na lang kasi ang iisipin ng babaeng iyon kung makikita niyang may isang babaeng nasa baba at nagtatago habang nasa harapan ng lalaking kausap niya?

 

"Are you single?"

 

Natigilan ako sa biglaang tanong ng babae. Why is she suddenly asking him personal questions? I also noticed the hesitation that Develrick felt but he was able to compose himself.

 

"I am not interested in being in the relationship," kaswal niyang sagot.

 

Kumunot ang noo ko. I know that he wants to forget what we had, but I already declared him my boyfriend! How dare he deny me! Hindi niya naman kailangan na ako,  na estudyante sa university na ito, ang girlfriend na tinutukoy niya. I just need to say that he's already taken so the woman will know that she wouldn't stand a chance anymore. Matatanggap ko pa sana kung iyon ang sinabi niya, but why did he say that?

 

"That's great, then!" the female professor exclaimed, making me more pissed.

 

Sumulyap siya saakin kaya ipinakita ko ang masamang tingin ko sa kaniya. I know he knows that I didn't like his response to the other woman, so he looked away and sighed.

 

Naiinis ako. I was making a very bad face but it faded when an idea came to my head.

 

What if I do something naughty again? Something he would never be able to resist? Maitatanggi niya pa kaya na may babaeng nagmamay-ari sa kaniya?

 

Dahan-dahan kong nilagay ang kamay ko sa pants niya. My hand reached out and I lightly brushed his leg, causing him to jump in surprise. Nanlaki ang mga mata niya nang tingnan niya ako at tanging ngisi lang ang tugon ko sa pagkabigla niya.

 

I slid my hands to his pants, making his legs tremble in panic. Sinubukan niyang pigilan ang kamay ko pero wala pa rin siyang nagawa sa huli dahil hindi niya puwedeng hayaan na mahalata ng babae ang nangyayari. I unzipped his pants, revealing his blue boxer with a large bump. I was able to put his pants down without making a sound. 

 

"Hey, okay ka lang ba? Bakit bigla kang pinagpapawisan?" tanong ng babae.

 

"Y-Yes, I am okay. It's just hot in here." dahilan niya at pinipilit na kumalma. Mas lalo akong napangisi dahil doon.

 

It's time to play the game. Let's see if he will be able to resist and hide his desires while I give him the pleasure I'm sure he missed since that night.
