Chapter 19 - 19. An indirect kiss?

"We were just playing a game of tag~"

"What now?"

"Haha, it was boring you see-" Victor stopped talking when Gavin gave him a menacing glare, ๐’‚๐’Ž ๐‘ฐ ๐’ˆ๐’๐’๐’๐’‚ ๐’…๐’Š๐’† ๐’๐’๐’˜? It was normal for Gavin to be annoyed since he often worries about getting his office messy and the need to clean up afterwards.

"Hey, Gavin~"

"Why were you sitting on top of Victor and why were you running in my office? You should know the rules by now Vivian." Gavin asked as he looked up at Vivian and she looked down at him, pouting while furrowing her eyebrows.

"Well, Mr cabbage said he would give me sweets if I came back to school with him and I did what he said!"

'You went out of the school?"

"Mhmm hmm!" Vivian hummed in response, ๐’Š๐’•'๐’” ๐’๐’๐’• ๐’๐’Š๐’Œ๐’† ๐‘ฐ'๐’Ž ๐’ƒ๐’“๐’†๐’‚๐’Œ๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’‚๐’๐’๐’•๐’‰๐’†๐’“ ๐’“๐’–๐’๐’† ๐’ƒ๐’š ๐’ˆ๐’๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’๐’–๐’• ๐’๐’‡ ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’”๐’„๐’‰๐’๐’๐’, Vivian thought before relaxing a little in Gavin's grasp.

"What were you doing out of school for?"

"Well I needed to settle some things outside of school that's why and I met him on the way to my destination and he decided to follow along, I don't know why." Vivian pointed at Victor who raised up his hands in a surrender pose before smiling.

"I swear I did nothing, I merely just followed her you know, making friends?"

"Probably a reason why you don't have much friends huh?" Gavin replied, making Victor stunned as he smiled. ๐‘ด๐’†? ๐‘ต๐’ ๐’‡๐’“๐’Š๐’†๐’๐’…๐’”? ๐‘พ๐’‰๐’ ๐’”๐’‚๐’š๐’” ๐‘ฐ ๐’…๐’๐’'๐’• ๐’‰๐’‚๐’—๐’† ๐’‚๐’๐’š ๐’‡๐’“๐’Š๐’†๐’๐’…๐’” ๐’‰๐’–๐’‰?

"Says the one who is feared by the whole school because of your attitude..."

"You wanna go?"

"Why not-"

"Oh you two shut up, I want my sweets~!" Vivian spoke up, stopping the brothers before they get into a fight but they turned their heads towards her with glares, making her shut herself up. ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’†๐’š ๐’‚๐’“๐’†๐’'๐’• ๐’Œ๐’Š๐’…๐’” ๐’š๐’†๐’• ๐’•๐’‰๐’†๐’š ๐’‚๐’„๐’• ๐’๐’Š๐’Œ๐’† ๐’๐’๐’†...

"Now where were we? Right...bring it on, show me what you got."

"I would be delighted to dear Gavin." The two stared at each other as if getting ready to pounce onto each other and have a catfight. ๐‘ท๐’๐’†๐’‚๐’”๐’† ๐’‡๐’๐’“ ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’๐’๐’—๐’† ๐’๐’‡ ๐’Ž๐’š๐’”๐’†๐’๐’‡, ๐’…๐’๐’'๐’• ๐’•๐’‰๐’“๐’๐’˜ ๐’Ž๐’† ๐’‚๐’˜๐’‚๐’š ๐’๐’๐’•๐’ ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’„๐’๐’๐’… ๐’‰๐’‚๐’“๐’… ๐’‡๐’๐’๐’๐’“ ๐’๐’Š๐’Œ๐’† ๐‘ฐ'๐’Ž ๐’‚ ๐’๐’ƒ๐’‹๐’†๐’„๐’•.

Gavin was ready to put her back on her feet but Vivian mistook his action and hugged him tightly, preventing him from doing whatever he wanted to do.

"What are you doing?!"

"Don't throw me away! What if I have a concussion, huh, my skull and brain are precious okay." Vivian replied, speaking fast like a motor that was getting ready to drive off.

"Okay okay...now let go of my neck, I think before you even have your concussion, I'll get my neck snapped first." Vivian did as she was told and looked at Gavin.

"Did he say anything else apart from that?"

"Hmm, Victor did also say you will give me more sweets and a milkshake~ now let me down, I need my sweets." Gavin stared at Vivian then at Victor who was just smiling away, hoping that Gavin wouldn't throw him out of his office.

Vivian looked at Victor and tried reaching out to him so that she can go get the sweets that they agreed on way earlier back in the pet shop but Gavin kept her away from touching Victor and carried her like how parents carry their toddler in their arms.

"Hey, where are you taking me?"

"Stop talking, I'll get you the sweets instead."

"Really~?!" Vivian asked to confirm that Gavin would give her, the sweets that she wanted from him and he nodded. She smiled happily and hugged Gavin.

"Hey, what about me?"

"How old are you to be eating sweets?"

"I-" Victor stopped in his sentence as Gavin gave a smile which he knew wasn't a genuinely kind smile so he shut his mouth and nodded. Gavin took Vivian along with him back to his dorm to give her what she wanted.

"God, Gavin is totally into her..." Victor sighed and laid down on the couch for a rest. ๐‘ฐ'๐’Ž ๐’๐’๐’…๐’†๐’“ ๐’•๐’‰๐’‚๐’ ๐’‰๐’Š๐’Ž ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’š๐’†๐’• ๐‘ฐ'๐’Ž ๐’”๐’„๐’‚๐’“๐’†๐’… ๐’๐’‡ ๐’‰๐’Š๐’Ž...

While in the hallways, the noisy students suddenly went quiet when they saw Gavin carrying Vivian while walking. Students whispered amongst themselves about what they are seeing, it was unbelievable.

Being the cold and unapproachable second young master is now holding onto a girl student, walking down the hallway.

"What's that girl doing with Second young master?"

"He is not gonna punish her isn't he?"

"How brave of her to ask the second young master to carry her-"

"I'm sorry to burst your bubbles young ladies but stop talking nonsense and study harder instead huh?" Vivian smiled as she spoke up to the murmuring students, glaring at them.

She didn't want anyone to be gossiping bad things about Gavin nor her but Gavin didn't say a word and continued making his way to his dorm.

Once they were at Gavin's dorm, he set her down back on the floor on her two feet and went in. Vivian followed along like a puppy and took a look around his dorm. ๐‘ฐ๐’• ๐’Š๐’”๐’'๐’• ๐’•๐’๐’ ๐’‡๐’‚๐’๐’„๐’š, ๐’”๐’†๐’†๐’Ž๐’” ๐’๐’Š๐’„๐’† ๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’„๐’๐’›๐’š. ๐‘ฐ ๐’˜๐’๐’๐’…๐’†๐’“ ๐’Š๐’‡ ๐’‰๐’† ๐’‰๐’‚๐’” ๐’‚ ๐’“๐’๐’๐’Ž๐’Ž๐’‚๐’•๐’†.

Gavin's dorm was like any normal dorm, it had a living room, kitchen, tables, chairs, two rooms, and practically everything. The room walls were colored in white with a black colored couch.

There was even a welcome matt on the floor seen as soon as you step into the room. ๐‘ฏ๐’Š๐’” ๐’…๐’๐’“๐’Ž ๐’Š๐’” ๐’‘๐’“๐’†๐’•๐’•๐’š ๐’„๐’๐’†๐’‚๐’, ๐’…๐’๐’†๐’” ๐’‰๐’† ๐’…๐’ ๐’‚๐’๐’ ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐’„๐’๐’†๐’‚๐’๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’„๐’‰๐’๐’“๐’†๐’” ๐’‰๐’Š๐’Ž๐’”๐’†๐’๐’‡?

"Here, you can have all of them." Vivian stopped her wandering around and turned around to see Gavin with two packets of random sweets in his hands.

He gave it to Vivian who looked at the sweets with shimmering eyes. ๐‘พ๐’๐’˜, ๐’‡๐’๐’“ ๐’‚ ๐’‘๐’†๐’“๐’”๐’๐’ ๐’๐’Š๐’Œ๐’† ๐‘ฎ๐’‚๐’—๐’Š๐’, ๐‘ฐ ๐’…๐’Š๐’…๐’'๐’• ๐’Œ๐’๐’๐’˜ ๐’‰๐’† ๐’๐’Š๐’Œ๐’†๐’” ๐’•๐’ ๐’†๐’‚๐’• ๐’”๐’˜๐’†๐’†๐’•๐’” ๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’” ๐’Ž๐’–๐’„๐’‰ ๐’‰๐’†๐’‰๐’†~

"Thank you Gavin~!" She happily accepted the sweets, going over to his couch, and sat down. She opened up one packet and picked out a grape-flavored lollipop and opened it.

"Do you want one?"

"Just eat it." Gavin coldly replied as he minded his own business and went into his room, leaving Vivian in the living room by herself. ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’‚๐’•'๐’” ๐’‚ ๐’‘๐’Š๐’•๐’•๐’š ๐’•๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐’‰๐’† ๐’…๐’๐’†๐’”๐’'๐’• ๐’ˆ๐’†๐’• ๐’•๐’ ๐’†๐’๐’‹๐’๐’š ๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’” ๐’”๐’˜๐’†๐’†๐’•๐’”. ๐‘ด๐’‚๐’š๐’ƒ๐’† ๐’‰๐’† ๐’˜๐’‚๐’๐’•๐’” ๐’๐’๐’† ๐’ƒ๐’–๐’• ๐’„๐’‚๐’'๐’• ๐’‚๐’”๐’Œ ๐’”๐’Š๐’๐’„๐’† ๐’‰๐’† ๐’ˆ๐’‚๐’—๐’† ๐’Š๐’• ๐’•๐’ ๐’Ž๐’†?

She placed the lollipop into her mouth and enjoyed her time. ๐‘ฐ ๐’˜๐’๐’๐’…๐’†๐’“ ๐’˜๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐’Š๐’” ๐’‰๐’† ๐’…๐’๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’Š๐’ ๐’‰๐’Š ๐’“๐’๐’๐’Ž? She thought as she placed the sweet packets onto the table, standing up, and walked over to the room that he went into.

She stood outside the door and without any thoughts or hesitation, she opened the door to see Gavin seating down by his study table, reading a book. ๐‘พ๐’๐’‚๐’‰๐’‰...๐’‚๐’Ž ๐‘ฐ ๐’”๐’†๐’†๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’˜๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐‘ฐ'๐’Ž ๐’”๐’†๐’†๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’“๐’Š๐’ˆ๐’‰๐’• ๐’๐’๐’˜?

Vivian rubbed her eyes and what she was seeing is real. Gavin was wearing spectacles while picking out a book, ๐’‰๐’† ๐’๐’๐’๐’Œ๐’” ๐’ˆ๐’๐’๐’… ๐’˜๐’–๐’•๐’‰ ๐’•๐’‰๐’†๐’Ž ๐’๐’, ๐’๐’๐’• ๐’ˆ๐’๐’๐’๐’‚ ๐’๐’Š๐’†.

Vivian went over to him, taking out her lollipop from her mouth, and tried peeking at what he was looking at.

Gavin felt a strange presence in his room and thus, he turned around to be shocked upon seeing Vivian right behind him.

"What are y-" he got cut off when she placed the lollipop into his mouth.

"What are you reading~?" She did not answer him and took his book, taking a look through it. He sat still, trying to process what she just did, ๐’”๐’‰๐’†...๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’” ๐’˜๐’‚๐’” ๐’Š๐’ ๐’‰๐’†๐’“ ๐’Ž๐’๐’–๐’•๐’‰ ๐’‚๐’๐’…...

His cheeks flushed a little thinking about what was going through his mind.

"Hey, who allowed you to step into my room without knocking?"

"Huh? Oh, I needed to knock?"

"Don't you know your manners, Vivian?"

"Oh...haha, sorry~" Vivian apologized, smiling sheepishly at Gavin before turning her attention back to the book. ๐‘พ๐’‰๐’š ๐’Š๐’” ๐’‰๐’† ๐’“๐’†๐’‚๐’…๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’๐’ ๐’‰๐’Š๐’”๐’•๐’๐’“๐’š...

"Hey! I was reading it."

"This is my book and you took it without permission."

"What...I just want to take a look." She tried jumping to get the book back from him as he held it up high in the air. After many attempts, she gave up and sighed.

"Hmph, fine. You can continue reading, I'm not interested in history anyways." She pouted and was going to leave the room when Gavin pulled her back, making her stumbled on her feet and fell onto him.

Vivian fell onto Gavin who was on his chair and she stared at him weirdly. She had one of her legs up on his thigh as one of her hands held his shoulders for support.

"What do you need second young master." He didn't reply her as he took out the lollipop stick from his mouth and stared at her.

She felt weird and tried getting away from him but he wasn't planning on letting go. ๐‘ซ๐’‚๐’Ž๐’, ๐’‰๐’†'๐’” ๐’”๐’•๐’“๐’๐’๐’ˆ...

Gavin placed his index finger down, under Vivian's chin while having his thumb brushing against her lips.

"Open your mouth."

"What?-" She got interrupted when he leaned in, placing the lollipop back into her mouth. Their lips didn't touch but the lollipop did. When Gavin was done, he let her go as Vivian stayed still.

"Why did you do that?!"

"Out."

"What?" Vivian was beyond confused as to why he did that but knowing Gavin, she didn't question more and headed out of his room.

"Thanks for the sweets once again and rest well..." she said before closing the door behind her and to her surprise, Victor was sitting by the couch with a lollipop stick, sticking out of his mouth.

"Since when were you here? Are you his roommate?"

"Well not exactly but...come here." Victor signaled for Vivian to go over to him which she slowly did.

"What?"

"Is this how you speak to your friend?"

"We were friends?" Victor stared at her as he placed his hand at his chest area and pretended to be hurt by her words.

"You just stabbed my heart...how could you, we are friends of course."

"This is probably a reason why acting companies don't cast you for their movies..."

"What? Oh Ho Ho, don't you know how good I am at acting?"

"Yeah, acting terribly." Vivian crossed her arms, making Victor sigh in defeat. Then he thought of something.

"Then..." He pulled her in by her waist, making her sit by the couch weirdly on top of him. She had her knees seating down on the couch with his legs in between. ๐‘ต๐’๐’• ๐’‚๐’ˆ๐’‚๐’Š๐’...

"What now. I need to get going back to the dorm."

"If you don't want to be friends then maybe we could be lovers~?"

"I'm better off with buying a cabbage off the market than have you, thank you."

"You..." Victor said and stopped when he took out his lollipop from his mouth and tapped it against Vivian's lips.

"What.are.you.doing?" Victor and Vivian turned to see Gavin standing by his doorway and stared at them.

"I was just about to-" Vivian stopped in her sentence as Gavin teleported in front of them and picked her up.

He got a hold of her and teleported her outside of his dorm with the packet of sweets in her hands. ๐‘ต๐’๐’• ๐’†๐’—๐’†๐’ ๐’‚ ๐’ˆ๐’๐’๐’…๐’ƒ๐’š๐’† ๐’‰๐’–๐’‰...๐‘ฐ ๐’„๐’‚๐’'๐’• ๐’–๐’๐’…๐’†๐’“๐’”๐’•๐’‚๐’๐’… ๐’•๐’‰๐’๐’”๐’† ๐’•๐’˜๐’ ๐’„๐’‚๐’ƒ๐’ƒ๐’‚๐’ˆ๐’†๐’” ๐’‚๐’๐’š๐’Ž๐’๐’“๐’†.

Vivian sighed, shaking her head before making her way back to her dorm. ๐‘จ๐’• ๐’๐’†๐’‚๐’”๐’• ๐‘ฐ ๐’‰๐’‚๐’—๐’† ๐’•๐’‰๐’†๐’”๐’† ๐’”๐’˜๐’†๐’†๐’•๐’” ๐’˜๐’Š๐’•๐’‰ ๐’Ž๐’†, ๐’๐’๐’˜ ๐‘ฐ ๐’˜๐’๐’'๐’• ๐’‰๐’‚๐’—๐’† ๐’•๐’ ๐’˜๐’๐’“๐’“๐’š ๐’‚๐’ƒ๐’๐’–๐’• ๐’๐’๐’• ๐’‰๐’‚๐’—๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’‚๐’๐’š ๐’๐’๐’˜~
