Bite The Bullet | Vicerylle

Chapter 34

"You know, my room has a better view." Dingdong said habang pinopour nya yung champagne sa dalawang glasses nila ni Karylle.

After five minutes of begging ay hinayaan na rin ni Karylle na pumasok si Dingdong sa loob ng hotel suite nila ni Toni. From what he told her, he seemed pretty genuine naman sa intentions nya this time with Karylle.

"I'm not going with you to your room."

"Hey, I didn't say anything like that. I'm just stating a fact." Palusot ni Dingdong.

"Dingdong, look, you said you wanted to talk about what happened sa mansion before, go on, talk."

"Chill ka lang, K, we will get there...Wait, can I call you K?"

"I'm really not in the mood, Dong." Seryosong sagot ni Karylle.

"First of all, cheers?" sabi ni Dingdong at ini-raise yung champagne nya in the air to clink with Karylle's. Pinagbigyan na ito ni Karylle at nag toast sila sabay inom.

"Secondly?" pag push ni Karylle sa conversation.

"Well, secondly... I wanted to apologize. Apologize sa nagawa ko, nasabi ko. I'm a decent guy Karylle, I really am. I just come across too-"

"Cocky? Insensitive? Manwhore? Rude?"

Napangisi si Dingdong sa mga sinabi ni Karylle dahil alam nyang totoo naman talaga ang mga sinabi nito.

"All of the above." He admitted himself at napainom ulit, "But like I said, once you get to know me, you'll know na I'm a pretty decent guy."

"Why would I want to get to know you?"

"Because you like me?"

Karylle laughed sarcastically at tumayo sa kinauupuan nya, "You are so full of yourself!"

"Oh come on K, loosen up."

"I'm dating your bestfriend."

"Yeah? So what? So are the other 7 ladies you're competing against." He shrugged.

"Dingdong, I'd like you out of my room now please." Karylle said politely at nag walk papunta sa may pinto para buksan ito.

"Fair enough." sabi ni Dingdong at iniwan yung glass nya sa may table. He walked over to door at tumayo opposite Karylle.

"Can I ask you something?" sabi ni Karylle bago tuluyang lumabas si Dingdong.

He raised one eyebrow encouraging her to carry on.

"Sa dami naming babae sa show, sa mundo even... Bakit ako? Bakit ako ang napili mong biktimahin?"

"Oh Karylle, biktimahin? Really? Is that what we're calling this... Can't you just believe na I genuinely like you?"

"Bakit?"

"Me and Vice are bestfriends. We have been since we were kids... Everything that I have, he has. Everything that he has, I have. It's just how our friendship works. Palagi kaming nagkaka inggitan sa lahat ng bagay, so we agreed to want and have the same things... Do you know where I'm going with this?" he stared at Karylle intently.

Umiling si Karylle kahit na alam naman nya yung point ni Dingdong. She just wanted to hear him say it.

"Kahit pagdating sa mga babae?" napakunot ang noo ni Karylle sa tanong nya.

"Kahit pagdating sa mga babae." Pag confirm naman ni Dingdong.

"No..."

"Sino sa tingin mo nakauna sa'min kay Anne?" Dingdong raised his left brow at napangisi.
