ToGetHer Forever

Nueve

After spending time alone on his room the whole day, Vincien finally made up his mind. He's already decided that he'll confess what he truly feel for Kristene.

Bahala na sa magiging outcome.

Hindi na kasi nya kaya ang ganitong set-up nila.

Hindi na nya kaya pang saktan si Kristene ng paulit-ulit dahil lang sa pagiging gago nya.

At hinding-hindi nya hahayaang makuha ng iba si Kristene.

Kristene is only mine.

During that night, Vincien went to Kristene's room and pressed the door bell on her unit. He repeatedly pressed it but no one's coming out.

Galit pa rin kaya sa kanya si Kristene? O baka naman wala ito sa kwarto? Bumaba kaya ito muli? O baka naman magkasama sila ni- fuck no!

I won't let that happen again!

Vincien pulled out his phone from his pocket and tried calling Kristene but she's not answering. So he opted to call Owen next. At tulad nya, hindi rin alam ni Owen kung nasaan si Kristene. Wala naman daw itong maski kahit anong message sa kanila.

And even if he doesn't want to do the last choice he had in mind, he called the person who might possibly know where Kristene is.

The person who makes him jealous at all times.

"At last Santillan! I've been waiting for your call."

"I'll get straight to the point Kingsley. Where's K?"

He heard Dylan laughed on the other line, "She's just in her room. Why?"

Damn it! Alam talaga ni Dylan kung nasaan si Kristene. Hindi nya tuloy maiwasang makaramdam ng selos.

"Oo."

"Default password is DK723."

He rolled his eyes before entering the password. "Password mo talaga kung kailan kayo nagkita ng childhood sweetheart mo?"

"Fuck you Vincien!"

"You're still holding on to your promise huh?"

"Don't know what you're talking about. I'll hang up."

At talaga ngang binabaan sya nito agad. Napailing nalang sya. Hindi nya rin maintindihan ang isang yon talaga. Isa rin kung makapag-deny ng feelings. Pare-parehas lang talaga silang magkakaibigan.

As soon as the door opened, he went inside and looked for Kristene. But he halted from walking when he saw two bottle of vodka on the living room, both empty.

"Shit! What the hell did you do this time K?"

He hurriedly went inside the bedroom and Kristene is still nowhere to be found. But from his peripheral vision, he noticed that the door of the bathroom is slightly opened. He could also hear the sound of the running water from the faucet.

Thinking that Kristene might be at the bathroom, he went inside and he can't help but to sigh heavily when he saw Kristene sitting on the floor unconciously.

"Fuck!"

Almost immediately, he walked towards her and crouched down as he tried waking her up. "K... wake up." He tapped her cheeks lightly, "Wake up K please."

Slowly, she opened her eyes and smiled at him. "H-Hey V!"

Looking pissed, he asked, "Why did you get drunk? I told you that you're not allowed to drink right?"

Kristene pouted, "Eh gus-to ko eh!"

He took a deep breath to calm himself before he spoke again. "Take a bath K. Ipagtitimpla kita ng kape para mawala iyang hang-over mo."
