Chapter 6: Virgil's Job
The next morning, Kristine woke up with a sigh and a small frown on her face as she saw Virgil trying to push Dante off of her brother's bed in an unconscious state. As she placed her hands on the side of her pillow she felt something under her palm. When she looked at it, she found a box and opened it. There was a note inside and a beautiful hair clip too. She read the note and it said,
"Happy Birthday babe, hope this makes you a bit happier, even if you don't deserve it, specially, because you always boss me around. Anyway, be happy, okay?
Dante."
After reading the note she combed her hair then clipped Dante's gift on her hair.
/Thank you, Dante./
She thought as she went out to make breakfast.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Virgil had already woken up and took his shower. After he took one, he sees Dante sleeping his butt off. He then dumps a bucket of water on his brother, making Dante wake up.
"What the hell Virgil!"
"Stop being lazy and get your butt off the bed, breakfast is ready, I can smell her cooking."
"Cool, breakfast."
Dante then stood up and took his turn in taking a bath. After that they went down and saw Kristine still cooking. Dante then smiled when he saw Kristine wearing his little gift for her.
"It will be done in a minute, just wait. Ouch!"
"What happened!"
Dante asked as he heard Kristine sounding like she was in pain. When he got near her, he saw that the girl was bleeding. Kristine gut cut by the knife she was using. Dante then grabbed the wounded hand and sucked the blood out. Kristine was blushing from what Dante was doing, but when she saw Virgil's smirk she slapped Dante.
"Why do you keep slapping me!"
"For always acting stupid all the time…"
" I act stupid, what about you? Humph, women."
He said then took his seat. Breakfast was now served and they began eating.
/Virgil looks so cute when he's eating. He looks so cool and calm…always. What am I thinking!"/
"Kristine, I'll be going out. I have a job now."
Kristine's thoughts were interrupted when she heard Virgil's voice.
"Job, what kind?"
"It's a secret."
Virgil said as he stood up. He then said his goodbyes and went off to work.
"You like Virgil, huh?"
"No I don't!"
"Then why were you blushing while staring at him widdle girl?"
"None of your---"
"None of my business?"
"That's right."
"Then that means you do."
"I said I don't!"
The two kept on bickering like they always do. After the past four hours of fighting and nagging they were still having fun, but after the fifth hour they finally got tired.
"Ok, I think that's enough quarreling for today."
Dante said as he plopped down on the couch.
"Finally, something I can agree with."
Kristine said while resting on the near by rocking chair.
"Who said bickering wasn't fun?"
"Yeah…fighting with you Dante, isn't really bad at all."
"Of course its not. You're fighting with the most adorable person in the world."
"Ok, now you're scaring me."
"Hahaha very funny babe. Anyway I was thinking…"
"You actually think?"
"Stop it already! As I was saying, why don't we see what Virgil's job is?"
Dante told Kristine. She wasn't sure but she nodded yes. When she nodded, Dante dragged Kristine to where Virgil was working.
"Dante?"
"Yes?"
"How do you know where Virgil is working?"
"Brother's intuition."
"Oh, I see."
After walking for some time and being stared at in the process, they reached a huge building. It was where Virgil was working. It was one of the most famous buildings around coz many models work there.
"What could your brother be doing here?"
"Working, duh!"
"I know that Sherlock."
"Since you know that, let's make a cover and get in."
"Can we not and say that we did?"
Kristine asked, hoping that Dante would say yes, but unfortunately…
"No! You want to waste my efforts for bringing you here!"
"Now Dante, don't shout, be reasonable about this."
"All my hard work for nothing you're so…so…Gahhhh!"
Dante then started faking a cry and it wasn't working on Kristine, but he attracted so many people who began whispering when they saw the two together. While dragging him inside the building because of embarrassment she said,
"Alright, you win, stop acting like you're crying."
Dante grins and stops his acting and mentally laughing at the same time.
"You finally admit that I won."
"That's coz you're making me look that I made you cry…that's embarrassing!"
"Anyway, thanks for not wasting my efforts, doll."
"Say that again and I'll leave."
"I'll cry again."
"You are evil."
"And you're too easy."
Dante says but she just continued on walking until she hits something. When she looked up she saw cool and calm eyes.
"H—hi Virgil."
Kristine greeted. Vigil just turned around and paced around the place for a while then stopped in front of Kristine.
"I should have known you'd be following me."
"It was Dante's idea."
"I know, and you were as curious as him."
"Not really, I tried to stop him but he insisted."
"If you're that curious, stay. Dante go home."
Virgil told Dante while pointing at the exit.
"Why do I have to go home!"
"I don't want destructive forces around my work space. Go before I kick you out!"
Vigil said as he pushed Dante right outside. When Virgil went back in, he saw Kristine looking around and he couldn't help but smile.
"Are you always this excited when you're at a large working space?"
Virgil asked while he sat on his desk.
"Um, not really, I'm just amazed with your office, its kinda big for someone new."
"That's because I'm their best model here."
"Best model, already?"
"Of course. Do you doubt my looks and my masculinity?"
"No, never doubted it before."
Kristine said blushing and trying not to look at Vigil.
"If you like me, you can tell me."
Virgil suddenly muttered. Kristine looked surprised and turned to where Virgil was and saw that he was just an inch away from her. She gulped when Virgil leaned forward to give her a kiss, but she pushed him away.
"Why, is anything wrong?"
He asks, looking quiet amused at Kristine's refusal of his caress.
"It's not that I have a problem…"
"Then why?"
"…it's just that it feels wrong."
"I understand; I might know what the cause is."
Vigil then walked back to his desk and finished arranging his things. After that they went to the studio. When they got there, people were taking pictures of Virgil and when they saw Kristine with him some one asked, "Is she your girl fried?" and he just answered, "No, but I would like her to be." When Kristine heard this, she flushed a deep red, but felt that Virgil was just kidding around.
It took hours before Vigil's studio time ended, and after it did they went home. It rained as they entered the house. It was also dark and cold inside.
"Dante? Dante, where are you?"
Kristine called out, but no answer.
"What's wrong?"
"Dante's not here, he's not here. Where could he have gone, its raining, he might get soaked in rain water."
"He's probably lost, or picked up a fight somewhere."
Virgil concluded which made Kristine more alarmed than she already is.
"If he is, I'm bringing him home. I don't want him to be in trouble, and I…I—I don't want to see him hurt."
"But you always tell him to die."
Virgil replied as he saw the girl open the front door. She stopped in her tracks and looked at Virgil.
"I never meant any bad thing I tell Dante, because just like you, he's my friend."
"Except you like him and not me."
Kristine didn't answer. She just looked away and closed the door as she left.
/Dante, where are you? Why didn't you come home? Please be safe./
She thought as she ran across the street trying to search for Dante, but there was no one out on this cold rainy day, making her hopes go down.
