Chapter 01

'Welcome to my jungle La Tigra.'

Tila ba naririnig ko pa rin ang mga salitang 'yon na sinabi ni Matt kani-kanina lang. Hindi ko tuloy alam kung matutuwa ba ako o maiinis sa sinabi niyang 'yon. Ngunit isa lang ang alam kong sigurado ako... At iyon ay ang kaisipang titira ako rito na kasama siya! Hindi naman sa ayaw ko siyang makasama, kaya lang ay ayaw ko ngang tumira rito! Tapos kasama ko pa siya, baka maglumpuhan lang kaming dalawa!

"Andrea be kind enough, cancel all my meetings and appointments today," Matt said to his secretary using the intercom while looking at me. "And please... Prepared my private room." My lips parted a bit when I hear him saying 'Private Room'. What was he going to do with his private room with that freaky Andrea?!

"Are you okay living here for a week?" Seryosong tanong niya sa akin.

I stood up and went beside the glass window to see what was outside his office. There are lots of nipa huts, classic and modern rooms, studio types units, and of course family houses. This resort is indeed extremely wonderful. But I? Staying here for a week? That was a big NO to me!

"Do I have a choice?" Instead of saying those words in my mind, I asked him that.

"Stay here for a week with me, or stay in my life... Forever?" He smiled, gently caressing his chin as if he has a beard! I rolled my eyes trying to hide the tingle sensation I felt on my stomach.

"That was the same duh! You're leaving me no choice." Pinasadahan ko muna siya ng tingin mula ulo hanggang sa sinturon niya. Hanggang doon na lang muna at baka kung ano pa ang makita ng makasalanan kong mata! "Aminin mo na lang na na-miss mo ako kaya gusto mo akong makasama, that's easy. Unlike those cheesy words, tinalo mo pa si Francisco Balagtas! Eww!" I rolled my eyes, trying to tease him. But he just shrugs his shoulder. He is still the same Matt I know three years ago, only become more handsome, hot, and maturity made him more attractive. 

Looking at him now with his devilish smile, and dark as night sky eyes bringing me back to our old faded past. I wanted to forget that day but still... It haunts me, that made me want to go back home... Home with him.

~Flashback~

"What are you wearing?" Dad asked me, looking at my clothes with disgust.

 

"Calvin Klein?" I answered, rolling my eyes at him.

Me and my best friend Jade we're going to La Tigra Hotel's opening. Tonight was going to be fun because they said there was bidding being held at the said Hotel.

"But it looks like underwear to me!" My eyebrows furrowed when my Dad said that. Like duh, I'm too sexy not to expose my curvaceous body and look nerdy if I wear jeans and a blouse to a party right? Seems like fashion doesn't exist in his dictionary!

"Daddy calm down okay?" I said, starting to get irritated now. "I'm going to a party with my friend, at least let me wear proper clothes that fit the occasion right?"

"Just go home before eleven." He looks at me from head to toe. "And bring Carlos with you," he told me causing me to feel annoyed more.

"Dad, si Cinderella noong pumarty siya alas dose ng gabi ang oras na ibinigay sa kaniya. Tapos ako, kailangan alas onse palang dapat nandito na?! Nasaan naman ang hustisya doon Dad?!" Kulang na lang ay ipadyak ko ang mga paa ko sa sobrang inis. Goodness twenty-three years na akong nabubuhay sa mundo, pero daig ko pa ang thirteen years old kung ituring nila.

"You're not Cinderella, you're my daughter named Laira so don't give me that kind of look!" He looks scary but I'm not scared. "If your Mom knows about that party thing, you'll be grounded." My lips parted a bit about what he said. I don't want to be grounded!

"Dad you're so... Gwapo talaga!" eksaherada kong saad sa kaniya. I get my Chanel tote bag and my phone then kiss my Dad goodbye. "I'll go home exactly eleven don't ya worry, love ya!"

As I went outside our house, my best friend Jade we're already waiting for me with her boyfriend Andrei. Pareho kami ni Jade na hindi ganoon kagaling mag drive, kaya naman lagi akong ipinagmamaneho ni Mang Carlos sa t'wing aalis ako. Ngunit hindi tulad ko, si Jade may jowa kaya naman napakaswerteng nilalang niya dahil may jowa na may instant driver pa... Ako? Ganda lang talaga the rest nganga!

"You look lovely!" Jade said, causing me to smile a little. "But pissed," she added.

"It's a long story," I said while taking a groupie that I will post to my myday. "Anyway, anong gagawin natin sa La Tigra? Ano bang mayroon doon?" sunod-sunod kong tanong sa kaniya. Isa sa pinakasikat at malaking hotel dito sa Pilipinas ang La Tigra, at sa pagkakaalam ko'y medyo bata pa ang may-ari noon.

Oh well, my family owns a resort called Alastair Hotel and Resort. That was our main business that came from my great grandparents. But I, being the most beautiful and deliciously sexy woman living in our village don't give a damn! I just want to live normal, and of course in my tricky way. If only Laura didnt acted like shit, edi sana hindi ako namomroblema ngayon!

"Let see what we got there," Jade said then give her boyfriend Andrei a tongue kiss, as if!

"Hello! Doing that thing called 'PDA' in front of me made me want to vomit already!" They look disgusting. Or maybe I was just too inexperienced?

"Napaka Manang mo naman! You should get a boyfriend na, so that you won't act like Manang!" Jade told me, rolling her eyes then blowing me a kiss.

After an hour we already reached our destination. Andrei opens the door for Jade, while I open the door for myself. Bwisit na buhay 'to! Siguro nga dapat na akong maghanap ng jowa!

"Laira faster! The bidding is already started!" Dinig kong sigaw ni Jade kaya naman nagmadali na rin ako. I run as fast as I can, just to see what's the bidding all about!

Nanlaki ang mata at napaawang ang bibig ko ng makapasok ako sa loob ng hotel. Gosh! Nakaka-amazed naman pala talaga ang La Tigra! Mayroong casino rito sa first floor, at may mga babaeng nagsasayaw upang aliwin ang mga naglalaro. Ngunit nakuha ang atensyon ko ng mga lalaking nasa stage na may nakasuot na presyo sa kanilang leeg. Ano sila? For sale? Shocks they were all so gwapo and macho!

"Those handsome men were on auctioned! If you want to get a boyfriend, better pick one of them!" Jade whispered to me. "Gosh! See that abs?! Andrei doesn't have that!" My eyes widened as I saw the man that Jade pointing to me. He had perfect abs and gosh! He's so... Masarap sa eyes talaga! Goodness, what am I thinking?!

"One million!"

Napatingin ako sa babaeng bigla na lang sumigaw sa tabi namin ni Jade. She looks sophisticated, mature and of course yayamanin!

"Higher than one million?" The emcee asked. The people inside were already mumbling. It was wild and chaotic! "Okay! Mr. Lucas was sold by a lady on red. We hope you enjoy Mr. Lucas's company, Miss Lady, on red," giit ng emcee na may nanunuksong ngiti.

"Why you didn't buy that Mr. Lucas the macho man!? My God Laira if I had two million on my card I will buy him for myself!" I rolled my eyes as I hear that coming from Jade. As if naman papayagan ako ni Daddy na bumili ng lalaki?! At pag nagkataong nalaman niya, malamang end of the world na!

"Wait for me here, I just get myself a drink." Pagpapaalam ko sa kaniya. Medyo nanuyo kasi ang lalamunan ko dahil sa mga namamakyung abs na nakikita ko sa paligid.

I went to the bartender side and immediately order a margarita. I also dance to the beat of the music as others did. Matapos kong ubusin ang inorder ko ay umorder ulit ko. I also order blow job and taste it immediately.

This is the life that I was longing for. Free from what my parents wanted for me. And of course, fewer responsibilities. I don't want to be a businesswoman but Dad forced me to take up business management as my profession. But to be honest, I wanted to be a pilot! That was my fucking dream!

"Ops! My bad!" I unconsciously said when I poured a small amount of blow job to a very handsome man that I've ever laid my eyes on. "Blow job... Masarap, you want?" giit ko pa habang nakangiti. Pakiramdam ko'y tumatalab na sa akin ang iniinom ko.

"Are you drunk?" He asked. He looks annoyed but still handsome as hell! "You better go home now..." He look at me from head to toe then smirked. "Kids wasn't allowed here!"
