Chapter 24 COMPETITION
“But if you were the one to choose Alli, who would you choose between Lieo and Andrew?”
I wanted to glare at my cousin for asking a malicious question. His evil smirk gives his intentions away. But I can’t glare at him because the camera is focusing on me. Instead, I gave him my sweetest smile.
“My opinion now doesn’t matter because my followers will be the ones to decide the winner for this round,” I said the safest answer I could think of.
“We will respect the people’s opinion but we want to hear yours since you are the expert here,” Mike said in support of Lance.
I always wanted to kill these two. They love to tease me every time they see an opportunity to do so.
“I like how both teams dressed them up so it’s a tie for me,” I said then smirked.
“That’s cheating!” Mike expresses his protest.
I chuckled and shook my head. As a host of this vlog, I need to be neutral to both teams. But if I were to choose, I will pick Andrew not because he was my boyfriend but because he was exceptionally handsome from that outfit. Lieo’s outfit is also good but the burgundy suit caught my attention.
A minute later, I saw my staff signal me that they already have the result. They were the ones who posted the photos of Lieo and Andrew on my Instagram account.
“We got the result! Are you guys ready to hear the result?” I said while accepting the envelope where the result is.
I look at them and I could see the competitiveness in their eyes. I smile to myself, I guess both teams wanted to win. I thought that this kind of game is nothing to them but their eyes say that they are serious about this game.
“The winner for this round is team…” I said then pause for a few seconds to make the announcement more nerve-wracking.
“Team Andrew!”
Mike and Lance scream yes while Andrew smirk.
“I think it’s unfair since Andrew has many fans.” DJ Iya protested.
“That’s how losers complain!” Lance teases Iya more.
I saw Vince’s brow furrowed and about to say something when I saw Iya’s hand stopping Vince from answering back. Is it just me or there’s really something going on between Iya and Vince.
I notice them when I first arrived here and had our reunion and welcome party, Vince is always beside Iya and they act as if they have their own world. The way they look at each other is different from before. I should ask Iya about this. The last time I check the one Iya likes is Mavin that’s why she was heartbroken when she found out that Mavin has a girlfriend.
“So team Vince do you want to change your model?” I asked to stop the tension between the two groups.
“Yes, we’ll have Vince as our new model to be fairer,” Iya said.
“That’s unfair!” Lance complained but I know he was not serious about it. He just wants to mess with the other group.
“Lance behave. Stop being a pussy!” I said then rolled my eyes.
“Oops! Sorry guys, I just need to calm my cousin.” I said when I realized my action.
All of us burst out laughing.
I cleared my throat. “Let’s start our next challenge.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
I did not wait for their answer, I proceeded to the roulette and spin it.
“Airport fashion! This one is cool. I can’t wait to see the boys with their airport outfits.” I said.
Both teams went to their area and started choosing clothes for Vince and Andrew.
Andrew’s team was the first one to finish. The team chose a more casual go-to outfit. Andrew was wearing black ripped jeans, a white t-shirt, a black leather jacket, white sneakers, a white baseball cap, and a black leather backpack. I like the outfit especially the black jacket, it gave a singer vibe which suits him best.
A minute later, Vince’s team came out. This team chose a more formal style. Vince was wearing a white long sleeve shirt rolled up, grey checkered slim-fit pants, brown leather belt, brown loafer shoes, and dark brown leather duffle bag.
“I must admit that I’m quite surprised with your styling skills. I might lose my job now.” I joke to lighten up the mood.
The teams are both determined to win. My team gave me the envelope.
“The winner for this round is team…”
Vince holding Iya’s hand caught my attention. I suddenly want to finish the shoot and ask Iya about them.
“Team Vince!” I announced.
I could see the disbelief in Team Andrew’s expression while Iya scream from the happiness of winning, Vine and Lieo just smile.
“It’s only right for Vince to have more supporters than Andrew because he was already a veteran actor.” Lance gave a side comment.
I just shook my head because of how childish my cousin is.
We started the third round and Team Vince won the challenge. They all say that it’s because Vince has more fans than Andrew but I disagree. I honestly like more the style that Team Vince created from the last two rounds.
Finally, we are done with the shoot. My team went back to the office after the shoot. I stay with my friends since they want me to treat them for a job well done.
Vince and Andrew told their team that they are done for today.
“Anne you can also go with them. We want to enjoy this day. We don’t want to have awkward feels just because of your presence.” Lance said to Anne frankly.
Anne flinches at Lance’s straightforward request.
“What? Alli are you not yet okay with Anne?” Iya asked.
“Yes. I still feel uncomfortable with her.” I honestly said then I look at Andrew.
Andrew sighed beside me. “I guess you can’t go with us today Anne. I’m sorry.” He said.
I know that Lance and I were a bit cruel to her now but I can’t act as if I’m still blinded by her facade.
Anne nodded but you can see that she was on the verge of crying. I understand her reaction it was humiliating for her.
“What’s with you and Anne?” Iya asks as soon as Anne left.
“I will explain to you soon. I need to talk first to Andrew.” I told her.
“What? I thought you were like that to her because of the kiss.” Iya said a bit lost.
“Well yes, that’s also one of the reasons. Who would be comfortable knowing someone kisses your boyfriend and what’s more when the person who did that is your best friend?”
“But she had a valid excuse!” Iya reasoned out.
I wanted to spill everything to Iya. She was so nice to Anne, just like me, she also treated Anne as her best friend. I know she will be hurt once she found out everything about her.
“Is that really valid? I wish I could tell you everything right now, but I need to tell it first to Andrew.” I said doing my best to stop myself from spilling it to her.
“Fine. But promise me, you’ll tell me okay? I don’t want to be in the dark.”
“Of course. That’s a promise.” I said and hug her.
I was about to release Iya from my hug when I notice Vince watching us. I gave him a suspicious look. He look away and went to Lieo to chat.
I release Iya and look intently at her. “Is there something going on between you and Vince?”
