Chereads / Two Sides of the Same Coin (BL) / Chapter 17 - Chpter 17

Chapter 17 - Chpter 17

Ezra returned to the living room hurriedly, his face was covered, but his ears were a bit red.

Arthur returned a few seconds after Ezra returned. His face was a bit flustered as well and he sat down quietly.

'What happened?' Milky thought. Ezra uncovers his face, he has probably calmed down. "L-Let start with Biology," he said.

They managed to cover two topics that day. Biology, Geography, and English.

When it came time for them to leave, Arthur held Ezra back. "Stay for the night?" he asked.

Ezra stiffens a bit, before relaxing. He wanted to say no, but he actually wanted to stay a little longer because he wanted to see the city at night.

"Sure," he replies smiling awkwardly.

Milky frowns. There's suddenly this awkward atmosphere between Ezra and Arthur. But Ezra wants to stay over, so things must be fine between them. 'Disappointing,' she thought.

"You wait here while I escort Milky to the driver," Arthur said.

Ezra nodded in response. "Okay."

Arthur opens the door and Milky and he walk out, closing the door behind them.

Milky and Arthur walked down the hall and to the elevator. Arthur used his fingerprint to verify his identity. When the elevator door closed, leaned against the wall of the elevator.

"So what happened between you and Ezra?" Milky asked looking up to the ceiling.

Arthur was a bit quiet for a while before answering. "I teased him into giving me a peck."

Milky whips her head to Arthur so fast it cracks a bit. "Are you alright?" Arthur asked in surprise.

Milky wasn't alright. Her crush and her love rival kissed when they left her alone in the living room. That's why it was quiet! Ezra is going to be staying over

Her imagination was running wild on what would happen when she left.

Arthur flicks her forehead, hard. "Stop your imagination from running wild," he said coldly.

Milky rubs her forehead pouting. "Don't blame me for thinking that," she said.

"You are very dirty-minded," Arthur replies, his eyes widening a bit. "Have you fantasized about Ezra?"

Milky's eyes widened. "N-No!" she stammered. She plays with her fingers a bit.

Arthur looks at her in utmost disgust. "You're weird," he said.

"Hey!" Milky shouts. "Don't pretend like you don't fantasize about Ezra either," she said, accusingly.

Arthur blushed embarrassingly. "Touché," he said.

It was quiet again. "I know you and Ezra like each other," Milky said.

"Ezra doesn't like me," Arthur responds almost immediately and Milky looks at him like she's looking at a fool.

"Are you stupid?" she asked, pointing to her head. It is very clear that both of them like each other. 'Idiots in love.' That's what everyone called them.

"What does that mean?" Arthur said offended.

"How can you not know he likes you?" Milky exclaimed. There's a theory that if two people like each other they would be too blind to know the other likes them back.

"He likes me?" His eyes widened happily.

'Oh God, what have I done,' she thought annoyed by herself. "Do you plan on confessing?" she asked quietly.

"Probably," Arthur replies.

Milky's heart began beating hard in fear. She knew Ezra would accept Arthur's confession and they would start dating. It means that she would also not have a chance.

"Will you at least let Ezra and I be friends without glaring a hole into the back of my head?" she asked.

'Of course not,' Arthur wanted to say. "If Ezra wants to be your friend then you can be friends, but if I see you trying anything weird I promise you won't like what would happen next."

Milky rolls her eyes. "I am not that kind of person," she said. "But if you two break up, I am going to try going after Ezra."

Arthur squints his eyes at her. She was serious. "That's if we ever break up," he said.

Milky stretches her hand out for a handshake. Arthur looked at her hand and then shook it firmly. "What's this for?" he asked.

"To seal the deal," Milky said.

Arthur raised an eyebrow. "Okay," he said shrugging then releasing her hand.

"Don't expect us to be on friendly terms," Milky said.

Arthur laughs mockingly. "I don't want to be friends with you," he said.

Milky sneered. "Rich bastard," she said.

"Poor b**ch," Arthur responded.

Milky smiled and punched his arm lightly. "Glad we see eye to eye," she said.

Arthur grunts in reply. A few minutes later, the elevator dinged and they had arrived on the grand floor.

The car was waiting outside. Before Milky stepped into the car. She gives Arthur the middle finger.

A vein pops on Arthur's head and he returns it as well.
