What Can You Do For Love?

Chapter 39

Karylle and Vice are having fun on the beach. They eat, swim and play like a child. They're spending their day together, talking about anything aside from the things outside the island where they were at. Not minding the other things like their job and anything that stresses them. Karylle just want to enjoy and rest, while Vice wants to enjoy and be with her.

While walking and viewing the people swimming in the ocean, Karylle saw a semi formed sand castle in the shore. "Vice, look! A sand castle!"

Vice knitted his brows, trying to study the thing that she's pointing at. "Castle? It looks like chocolate hills to me." And he laughed after.

"Well, maybe someone made it and leave it here, that's why." Then she knelt and started to collect sand.

"Wait! What are you doing?" He is looking at her with disbelief drawing on his face.

"Rebuilding it."

But Vice has no idea on building a sand castle and he thought that doing such thing is too childish.

"Come on. Let's just swim." He suggested to turn her attention. But Karylle was too focus and she's already fond shaping the sand.

He knelt next to her. "K, let's swim."

"We already did swim." Karylle immediately answered, without turning her face on him.

"Then, let's eat." He suggested again.

"I'm not hungry." Her eyes are still on the sand.

"How about a juice?" Starting to feel irritation.

"I'm not thirsty."

"Shake?"

"No, thank you."

"Frappe?"

"Vice, thanks but no thanks." Still busy building her sand castle.

Vice is getting annoyed. "Fishing! Let's do fishing!" Trying to make it sound excited.

"Nah.. It's boring."

"And building a sand castle is not boring?" He tried to hide his irritance.

After hearing his sarcastic question, she decided to lift her face to see him. "For me, it's not. And look! If you don't want to help me, it's fine. You can buy some drinks there and relax. I can manage this."

Vice is so irritated on how Karylle is treating him. She don't understand what he's trying to say. He wants to be with her. And aside from wanting her on his side, building sand castle is boring and too childish.

So he walked away and went to a nearby store and ordered a watermelon shake.

He hissed quietly. "On what part does she don't understand? Look! She's too expose to the sun! And what can she get on that? Tsk! Can't she notice that she is too old for that???"

Karylle was so busy on what she's doing, she did not notice Vice sulking from a far, while glaring at her.

Then suddenly, a ball crashed on her sand castle. She got jolted on her seat and felt sad at the same time.

Then she heard a voice. "Miss are you okay?"

"I'm fine. But my castle isn't." She mourned without looking at the person beside her.
