Step 1

How to Seduce a guy?

Step 1 : Get his attention

To get the guy's attention. Kailangan gumawa ka ng way para mapansin ka niya. You look at him and make an eye contact sabay flash ng iyong most seductive smile.

"Mukha kang mongoloid! Kita pa yung gilagid mo! That's wrong! Wrong!"

Nawala ang ngiti ko dahil sa mga sinabi ni Levi. Kainis ang demonyo na 'to! Makapanlait walang preno! Walang filter ang bibig! Inirapan ko siya at inis na umupo sa kama.

"Ehhh.. ayoko na. Hindi ko talaga kaya Levi," reklamo ko.

Panay iling at "tsk" niya at lumapit sa'kin. Yumuko si Levi at pumantay sa mukha ko. Tumitig ang gray niyang mga mata. Ngayon ko lang napansin na mahaba, makurba at makapal pala ang pilikmata niya.

Cute.

I felt my cheeks burned.

"Apple... where's your self confidence? Sa pag-ngiti pa lang ang pina-practice natin sumusuko ka na agad? What more pa sa mga susunod na steps?" hinawakan niya ako sa magkabilang balikat.

"Listen to me. If you want to get the guy's attention you must show him na you are the bomb! Boooom! Ganun! Sa dami ng mga tao sa paligid, ikaw lang dapat ang mapapansin niya. Everything needs to be dull and you are the only one with colors. So you must be confident. Be the bomb! Explode your charisma!"

Parang lalo lang akong pinanghinaan ng loob sa sinabi niya.

Nalukot ang mukha ko, "Bomb? Charisma? Wala ako niyan."

Umiling si Levi, "Stop that attitude. Now go! Let's do it again. Give me your best smile."

Nagkatinginan kami. Napabuntong hininga ako. Maybe he's right. I need to believe in my self. I looked directly to his eyes for about five seconds and slowly formed my most seductive smile. But my lips trembled instead. Urgh! Great!

Levi was just staring at me for another five seconds. His grayish eyes slowly went down to my trembling lips. I saw his adams apple moved up and down. Wait, is he feeling tense or something? Pero dahil ako ang mas naiilang sa sobrang lapit ng mga mukha namin ay hindi ako nakatiis at ako ang naunang kumalas.

Agad kong tinakpan ng unan ang mukha ko sa hiya, "Urgh! I can't!"

"Of course you can. Konti na lang Apple relax, don't be shy. You must show the guy that you are confident with yourself. Sila dapat ang ma-i-intimidate sa'yo. Not the other way around."

Napilitan akong bumangon at tumingin sa kanya. And then I remembered Kyle. He smiled at me. It was the first time na may lalaking kasing gwapo niya na nakapansin sa akin. Kahit ngiti lang yun it means a lot to me.

Maybe for him it was nothing but a simple greeting but for me it's already a start of something new. Honestly, I want to know more about Kyle, and I want him to discover more about me too. But I need to get his attention first. I need to make him like me.

Ilang taon na akong nagtatago sa anino because I always feel that I will never be good enough for someone. That I'm not pretty or sexy enough. Na hindi ako kasing attractive at talented ng mga kaibigan ko. I always look down on myself as a simple Jane. Kaya nga sa panunuod ng porn na lang ako naglilibang kasi at least kahit papaano, I feel sexy every time I watched those videos.

But maybe, may reason ang lahat kung bakit nangyayari ang mga ito. Kung bakit sa dami ng taong pwedeng makakita kay lola ako yung tumulong sa kanya. Kung bakit nya ako binigyan ng barbie doll para makilala sa Levi. The demon is right. I had always dreamt of this. I had always hoped that someone might find me attractive and sexy. That someone will find me gorgeous not only in bed but also in their life. Now I have this opportunity to prove in myself that I am worthy, I need to change for the better.

'It's now or never Apple Dimaculangan.'

I took a deep breath at stood up. Lumakad-lakad muna ako nang ilang hakbang bago buong loob na pumihit paharap ulit kay Levi. Then in one swift move. I closed my eyes and opened it again. I looked straight to his gray eyes and freed my lips as smooth as possible then gave him my most perfect smile.

Levi's eyebrow lifted, "Wow," napatunganga siya sandali bago tila natauhan sa nakita.

Later that day. Nakasalubong ko si Kyle sa corridor patungong library.

"Here he is. Now go. Smile at him!" I heard Levi's voice inside my mind. Kahit kinakabahan ay humugot ako nang malalim na hininga at nilakasan ang loob. 'Relax Apple, isang ngiti lang'.

Ilang steps na lang at magkakasalubong na kami. He is walking with another guy beside him while they are talking with each other. Nagtatawanan pa sila at rinig na rinig ko ang magandang tunog ng tawa nya. Lalo tuloy akong kinabahan.

I keep on wishing silently that he will look at me and meet my waiting stare.

Five more steps.

Please look...

Three more.

Look up... please...

One more.

And there... as if it was like a miracle. Nagkasalubong kami, he looked sideways and our eyes met. I flashed him my most charming smile.

Parang nagslow-motion ang paligid. Parang biglang narinig ko ang Thinking out Loud ni Ed Sheeran nang sandaling magtama ang mga mata naming dalawa.

Dug dug. Dug dug. Dug dug.

Yung tibok ng puso ko palakas nang palakas. Hindi ako humihinga. Hindi bumibitaw sa mga titig nya. Bago kami tuluyang magkalayo ay nakita ko ang pinakamagandang ngiti sa buong buhay ko. Kyle smiled back.

O to the M to G!!!

Nang makalakad na ako palayo ay halos magtatalon ako sa sobrang kilig. Buti na lang at nakalayo na sya.
