 AIVYLLIN

As I sat by my window, there I saw the raven-haired girl running around while playing football with her older brother. She was smiling while teasing the poor guy who's obviously losing the game, "Ambagal mo naman kuya Vino! Paano ka nakapasok sa team ni coach Larry sa kupad mong yan?!" 

Then the boy answered with his loud voice, emitting his pissed aura. "Tanga! Mabilis talaga ko noh! Star player kaya ako! Sadyang expert ka lang sa pandaraya Dee!"

"Wag mo ngang minumura kambal ko! Aminin mo nalang kasi na mas magaling si Haidee sayo kuya." Both players stopped at their tracks when they heard the young boy's whims. 

The young girl then gasped. "Anong ginagawa mo dito, Dimitri?! Bakit ka tumatakbo?! Alam mo namang masama yun sa asthma mo diba?! Ang kulit na bata! Mana sa kuya!" I know I shouldn't be laughing, but I can't help it. 

"Luh! Hoy! Nadamay nanaman ako jan!? Tsaka pasmado bibig mong bata ka ah. Mas matanda pa nga kami sayo!" Now I'm quite sure, pikon na talaga si Vino.

"Okay lang ako, Dee. Wag ka ngang masyadong paranoid. Though gusto ko na nag-aalala ka sakin, ayoko naman na araw-arawin mo." medyo natatawang sagot ng bata. 

"Eh basta! Wag mo na ulit gagawin yun ha." Nagulat pa ko nung bigla siyang tumingin pataas, looking directly at me. "Eh ano ka naman jan ate Aivy? Titignan mo lang ba talaga kami instead of joining us?" She said with a smile.

The scene was too breathtaking; you'll mistake it for a painting.

If only we knew what misery awaits us.

"Good evening, Miss Graceo. Young master Hill had been expecting you. Please proceed to Room 14; the VIP suite. Have a pleasant night." The lady said with a meaningful; no, a mocking tone rather. I'm not dumb to not know what she'd been hinting. Maybe papalagpasin lang ng iba, pero I'm not a Graceo for nothing, more so, I'm the Aivyllin Graceo. Hindi ako mayabang at mas hindi ko gustong ginagamit ang posisyon ko bilang elite para maka-angat sa iba, but still, I have my limits. So I smiled at her while saying,

"I'll really have a pleasant night. Cause I'll be out of here, doing my skin care routine at my queen-size bed, far from having sex with your arrogant "young master", completely opposite to what you've been thinking with that little head of yours. Thank you for bidding me a good night though!"

I even had the audacity to wink at her while walking away. Maybe because it had been a very stressful day, pero sobrang pagod na ko at wala na kong pasensya. Aba! Nauubusan din naman ako nun noh. Kahit lagi pa nila sabihing iniidolo nila ko dahil calm and composed ako, syempre may mga attitude moments din si mayora nyo noh! Tao lang din naman ako.

Nung marating ko na ang room ni Hill, agad akong kumatok. God, just let me finish this day already! Nung narinig ko ang sigaw niya na pwede na akong pumasok, binuksan ko agad ang pinto at nakita siyang naka-upo sa dulo ng kama habang nagsasalin ng champagne. 

"Aivy!! You're finally here." I can't help but cringe at the way he used my nickname.

 "Aivyllin." I said with a warning tone. 

"Come again?" This bastard!! 

"I said Aivyllin. Let me remind you, we are not as close as you assume we are, young master." Don't he even dare use the nickname she gave me. I treasure that endearment more than my name.

"Oh come on, Aivyllin. We both know what's gonna happen tonight. You even came here at your own accord. This day will only come to one conclusion-"

"And that is me rejecting you."
