“I’m really sorry for what I’m about to say, I know you’re still grieving and all that but, what the hell were you thinking?”
Vice blinked once, twice, before gulping down the martini he just ordered from the bar. He turned his head para tingnan si Lyle na inoccupy yung seat next to him.
“I was hoping na bukas mo na ako sesermonan.” He smirked at nag signal sa bartender for another drink.
“Ah, kaya ba 2:30 AM na yung kinuha mong flight pabalik?”
“Lyle, gusto ko lang talagang mapag-isa ngayon, pwede ba?”
“Funny how you didn’t feel that way 5 days ago nung tinakas mo yung isa sa mga contestant.”
Hindi na lang sumagot si Vice at pinaikot ikot yung drink na hawak nya.
“You’re breaking all the rules of the show, it’s not fair sa other contestants, you know, I’m going to have to kick her out of the show.”
“Do that and you’ll lose your bachelor.” Vice said na confident na confident at parang hindi man naapektuhan sa sinabi ni Lyle.
Napa-frown naman ang noo ni Lyle sa sagot ni Vice sa kanya, he watched ng tumayo si Vice sa kinauupuan nito at tinawag ulit yung bartender.
“Can I just get a bottle of whiskey to go?” sabi ni Vice sa bartender na pinagbigyan naman sya so he left the bar grinning at Lyle.
“Mag uusap tayo mamaya, Vice.”
“Yeah, yeah, see you in a few hours, Lyle...”

A few hours later, nagising si Vice sa may katok sa suite room nya. He lazily got out of bed, still in his white shirt from earlier at naka-boxers lamang.
“Welcome back, man.” Sabi ni Billy at pumasok sa loob.
“Hey.” Sabi ni Vice while rubbing his eyes para gisingin ang sarili nya.
Hindi naman agad sumarado yung pinto dahil kasunod ni Billy si Lyle.
“Good morning.” Lyle greeted coldly at tinitigan ang appearance ni Vice, “Are you going to be okay for today’s date?”
Vice threw himself on the sofa at humilata ulit covering his eyes with his forearm, “Give me five minutes.”
Tumawa naman si Billy at binato ng throwpillow si Vice, “Sorry for your loss man, pero come on, back to work.”
Vice huffed bago umupo ng maayos. He frowned na parang may mabaho syang naamoy.
“It’s you… You stink like shit.” Sabi ni Billy to answer the look on Vice’s face.
Tinaas naman ni Vice ang braso nya para amoy-amuyin ang sarili. He pulled a face before he crossed his arms to listen to Lyle.
“I think I’ll come back in 10 minutes.”
“Bakit? Lyle, dali na, handa na akong mapagalitan.”
Tiningnan ni Billy si Lyle at tinapik ito sa may likod, “Ako ng bahala muna dito.” Sabi naman ni Billy kaya umalis na muna si Lyle ng suite ni Vice.
When the two were alone, Billy went to sit next to Vice. He grabbed his friend’s head to put it in a tight headlock.
“F*ck Billy, bitiwan mo nga ako!” sabi ni Vice na tinutulak palayo si Billy, “Ano bang problema?!”
“Bakit mo sinama si Karylle sa’yo?”
“Kasi gusto ko.”he said while shoving Billy away.
