7PM≈WHITE MANSION>
Virgil and Reed were in the living room together when Terence walked in,he had went out of school after his little encounter with Gigi earlier and he’s just coming back.
“Where are you coming from?” Reed asked
“I don’t think I’m a kid to tell you where I am coming from” Terence snapped and Virgil frowned
“So now I’m at fault for asking….”
“Just keep quiet next time” Terence said
“Are you serious right now? You are not the only one who went out,Valentino also left the school without telling anyone,it’s not the first time we would be asking you this type of question just because we were worried….”
“And I said I don’t need it” Terence cut in and went upstairs.
Virgil faced Reed
“Don’t say a word” Reed muttered
“Is there something going on between you two?” Virgil asked
“I have no idea what you’re talking about” Reed said
Virgil wanted to ask more but then Reed got a call and he answered immediately.
“Young master,can you come over right now?” The voice said
“Why? What happened?” Reed immediately asked
“It’s Lotus….”
“What happened to my sister?” Reed stood up immediately and Virgil turned
“She’s running temperature and it’s quite bad…”
“Where’s mom?” Reed asked
“She won’t be coming home tonight”
“Füçk” Reed spat and hanged up,he took a car key
“What’s going on?” Virgil immediately asked
“My sister is Sick and mom is not home” Reed replied,going toward the door
“I will come with you” Virgil said and quickly followed him
They both entered the car and Reed drove out speedily
They arrived at the Lakes Mansion after the long ride,Reed got from the car and ran in
The maids greeted but he didn’t bother to answer them,he went upstairs and entered Lotus room,she was laying on the bed,still in her uniform.
“Angel” He called and touched her head,she was really hot.
“What the Füçk?” He muttered
Virgil entered the room
“Is she okay?” He asked and almost immediately Lotus opened her eyes and their eyes met
“Angel” Reed called and Lotus looked at him
“Muffin” She smiled
“Gosh,you scared me. Get up,let’s go to the hospital” Reed said
“No,I don’t want to” Lotus pouted
“This isn’t a matter of being cute right now okay?? You are burning too badly” Reed said
“I will be fine” She said
“Get up and go get dress” Reed snapped
Lotus groaned and climbed down the bed
Reed’s phone rang
“Mom is calling” He said
“Did you tell her?” Lotus asked
“If you don’t want me to do that,then let’s go to the hospital” Reed scoffed and answered the call,the conversation seems to take long so Reed eventually went out of the room
Virgil was leaning on the wall,his eyes on Lotus who was trying her best to avoid his face
“Are you okay?” He finally asked after the long silence
“As if you care” Lotus scoffed
“Are you angry because I didn’t answer your calls?” Virgil asked
“You don’t have to ask me that,I will delete your contact from my phone,you don’t even know how much it hurts when you ignore me. I’ve been calling you all day but you never answered,you’re so mean” Lotus said in tears
Virgil walked to her and slowly wiped her tears with his thumb
“I’m sorry” he muttered
“You really have no excuse? You ignored my calls intentionally?” Lotus asked
“Is that why you fell sick?” Virgil asked and she nodded
Virgil chuckled
“I’m sorry okay? I won’t ignore your calls again” He said
“Kiss me” Lotus muttered
“Do you want me dead?? Come on….”
“Just a little bit,my brother won’t find out” She said
“Gosh,if not for being a crybaby,then I would think you’re older than this” Virgil said and she pouted
Virgil pushed her forehead
“I’m not kissing you,stop it” He said

<9PM≈VANESSA’S ROOM>
The rain was falling so heavily,lightning and thunder follows every minute as the rain poured unstoppably
Vanessa wrapped herself up with the duvet,she was shaking so badly as the flashes kept coming to her. She was in tears too,she was so scared,she couldn’t even get up to go into Gigi’s room.
Suddenly she heard her window opening and she jumped up on the bed,she was right,someone was trying to open her window.
She got down from the bed and started walking to the window,she was so shocked when she saw Valentino trying to come in,even in the heavy rain
“Valentino?” She called with wide eyes
“Move” Valentino said and she immediately moved out of the way and then he jumped in.
He was looking so soaked and wet
“What are you doing here?” Vanessa asked
“I got home and the door was locked” Valentino replied and Vanessa raised her brows
“You should have managed t climbed their windows the same way you climbed mine,tell me exactly why you’re here and stop lying” Vanessa said but at that moment,the thunder decided to make it worse. She immediately ran into him,not minding how soaked he was
Valentino hugged her shaking body
“I came because……I couldn’t sleep” He muttered and Vanessa looked up
“Why?” She asked
“I was worried…..you would be scared on your own,because of the rain” Valentino said and Vanessa stared at her unbelievably
“I was right,you were scared before I came in” He smiled and winked at her
“You entered the rain because of me?” Vanessa asked
“I told you I will be your knight” Valentino said
Vanessa moved away from him and he got the chance to stare at her,she was wearing a nightie, he knew she’s hot but right now she’s a killer,her curves were obvious even in the nightie,it was kind of transparent and he could see her N?pplës pointing out in such a sëxy way that Valentino find it hard to look away,he would have crazily grabbed one of them if she didn’t call him back to his sense.
“Are you going to stand there like that? You will get cold” Vanessa said
“Don’t worry,I will just leave after they rain stop” Valentino said
Vanessa rolled her eyes and walked to her closet,she brought out a set off pajamas. A shirt and pants
“Are you planning to give your boyfriend this?” Valentino asked when she gave it to him
“Shut up and put it on” She snapped and pushed him into the bathroom.
She walked back to the bed and bite her lips
Her door suddenly opened and Gigi came in
“Pumpkin,are you okay?” Gigi asied abd Vanessa stood up
“Of course,I’m fine.” She said nervously
“Why are you not sleeping?” Gigi asked
“I was sleeping…..but I remembered my window” Vanessa replied
“You’re not cold right?” Gigi asked
“No…you can go back to sleep” Vanessa smiled
“Yeah…goodnight. Or should we sleep together…..”
“No! I am fine” She immediately said and Gigi gave her a look bit then smiled before going out. Vanessa locked the door and sighed out
“You can lie quite well” Valentino showed up,he was putting on the pajamas already and he was drying his hair with a towel
Vanessa ignored him
“By the way,who did you get this for? He’s gonna be quite short” Valentino said,the pajamas pants hardly covered his legs
Vanessa said nothing and climbed on her bed,Valentino sat down on the seat,staring at her face
The rain even became heavier this time around and she was beginning to shake under the duvet,she opened her eyes and found Valentino sitting down.
She bite her bottom lip and sighed
“If you’re going to just sit down there,why don’t you just leave? I never asked for a bodyguard” She suddenly said
“You mean I should join you on the bed?” Valentino adkrr
“When did I ever said that?” Vanessa snapped and Valentino chuckled
“Then I will stay here…”
“You are here because you know I’m scared!” Vanessa yelled,staring at him
“Stop acting stupid and…..sleep beside me” She muttered
Valentino smiled
“That sounds so go of” He said and gently climbed on the bed,Vanessa immediately moved closer to him
“Don’t leave until the rain stops like you said” She said softly
“I won’t” Valentino said
There was silence for some minutes until another thunderstorm came again,Vanessa jumped from her side and didn’t know when she climbed on Valentino. She got herself back when the thunder stopped,her eyes widened in shock,she was on top of him,her soft B@@bs pressing on his chest,his hand around her waist while their eyes on each other.
Vanessa made to get down but Valentino held her more tightly on the waist
“Valentino…….” He tossed them around and he came on top instead
Vanessa swallowed,she was really under the jerk she once h@tëd so much. Valentino touched her lips slowly and then looked into her eyes
“I don’t care if you are in love with someone else,it’s not too late to try right?”he asked
“It’s too late” Vanessa muttered
“Liar,then why didn’t you accept his proposal yet?” Valentino asked
“I am going to tell him tomorrow that I love….” Valentino kissed her neck and she froze,the feeling was so crazy and new. He sniffed her in and kissed her neck again
“Don’t tell him” He said
“Why?” Vanessa asked
“Coz…..I think I’m going to go crazy if you ever date another guy” Valentino replied
“You’re already crazy,what’s new?” Vanessa mumbled
“Can I kiss you?” Valentino asked
She kept quiet
“I will take that as a yes” Valentino said and Vanessa bite her lips
“My kiss comes with other things too” Valentino muttered and she raised her brows
Valentino smiled and slowly covered her lips with his own,she closed her eyes and responded to the kiss gently.
She almost broke the kiss when the thunder came again but Valentino pinned her down and deepened the kiss even more.
