"You ready?" Karylle asked.

Vice placed a gun in the crook of his jeans by his hips then placed an unlit ciggarette between his lips and took out a lighter.

"Yeah."

Vice's POV

(8:38 PM)

I watched Karylle go a seperate way. 12th floor kami ni Karylle and 18th floor si Jhong. Hinatid ko muna sya to make sure she gets there, we made a deal na pag-tapos na si Karylle i-check ang room ni Jhong, itetext nya ako ng "Done." and I told her to make sure to make it quick.

I feel so stupid, being the distraction. Everytime I work with someone, lagi nalang sila ang mag-didistract and I do the work. Karylle is too stubborn to listen to me and honestly, arguing with her about everything is getting old.

I stepped in the bar; people's eyes looked my way. A smirk plastered on my face.

I can see all the girls staring at me and I made sure to look their way, making them swoon. I took off my aviator glasses and hung it on my shirt, I met a girl's eyes and I winked at her, causing her to blush with her friend.

I looked around the bar and nakita ko si Jhong, nakaupo sa bar with a drink in his hand. He's alone.. why is he in a bar then?

I casually sat beside him and ordered a Jack Daniels for myself.

"You alone?" Tanong ko sa kanya, casually. Tumingin sya sakin, like he examined me then he nodded his head.

"Yup, ikaw?"

"Actually, first day ko dito. Its my honeymoon with my wife." Sagot ko, triny ko ngumiti as friendly as I can even though its hard.

"Wife? Asan wife mo?" Tanong nya.

"She's in a spa, relaxing." Sagot ko. Thinking of Karylle as my wife makes me feel goosebumps. It's so unusual and weird.

"I'm Vice, by the way."

"I'm Jhong.." We shaked hands and we casually went back to drinking our own drinks.

Nakita ko na he's making a move to leave, I can't make that happen, what if he goes back to his room?

"Wait, Jhong. Dito ka lang muna. I want to make friends while I'm here." I said, trying my best to sound warm and friendly. I feel like such an idiot doing this, kung si Karylle eto edi mas madali kasi she's a girl and I won't admit it to her but she's actually attractive, it's so easy for her to distract guys. That stubborn bitch.

"Actually.. pupunta lang ako sa restaurant next door. Sama ka?"

I hesitated, "Sure."

....

My time with Jhong isn't that bad, after a while, naging comfortable na kami sa isa't isa. We made few jokes and nag-kwento sya na he's here for a girl but he didn't go into details. This guy seems harmless, he even looks like he couldn't hurt someone.

"So ano trabaho mo sa Pinas?" Tanong nya sa akin.

"I'm a real-estate agent, ikaw?" Sagot ko, that's what I always tell people everytime they ask me.

"Ahh.. I'm a dance instructor.. I wanted to be a doctor pero that didn't work out."

"Oh.. okay lang yan brad." I didn't want to be too nosy so I didn't ask him why it didn't work out.
