Chapter 38
Jennie Wilson POV
Vincent!!!!!
My heart skipped a beat when my eyes finally met the ones they’d been looking for, and something rushed inside of me, drowning in their intensity.
Vincent got up, his hands on his hip cursing and hissing but when his eyes landed on me he quickly straightened himself up acting like nothing happened just now.
I felt my heart skip a beat, but I was unable to look away, his eyes was pulling me in, luring me into a devastating trap.
I sinked more into the bed, covering myself through the blanket but I
Peeped through it, turning all red.
Vincent strode towards me, correcting his messed up shirt and combed his hair with his hand. I studied him openly as he walked towards me.
He wore denim blue shirt and black pant and he looked like a true model on a runaway. Was he this much handsome…… or I am observing him for the first time now.
“Hi ” his voice finally broke me out of the trance.
” H… hh… hii”
” How are you feeling now, is it better?”
” Yeah little… thank you. I mean…… thank you, thank you for saving me last time, I am really grateful for what you did.” I said shyly sitting up, smiling genuinely with gratitude.
Vincent smiled sitting next to me, his gaze surprisingly soft ” It’s nothing, I am always willing to fight until every bone in my body was broken to protect you.”
What!?
I looked at him shocked, my heart beating against my chest. Vincent went all red as if he realised what he just said.
” Uh… I … mean…… I don’t mind giving a life to save any girl who are in danger. Yeah… that’s…… that’s what I mean.” Vincent said looking somewhere else.
” Oh…… that’s sweet.” I cooed slightly disappointed, looking at my hand, playing with it, he was actually a gentleman and here I was thinking that he was personally referring to me.
There was a pin drop awkward silence, piercing through me, I wanted to talk something but I didn’t want the risk of getting murdered too. It was every time I opened my mouth, I spew out something only to get humiliated in return.
” Ummm…… this is for you” Vincent said, his husky voice deepening handing me a paper bag in front of my face.
I peeped through the paper bag in curiosity and I saw few chocolates and I froze when my eyes landed on something. I took it out and my heart beating rapidly.
It was a teddy bear! It was similar to my teddy but it looked much nicer and expensive. It had high quality furr and fluffier than my late teddy. I bet it was much expensive than my previous one, I pouted looking at this new teddy bear.
” What? You didn’t like it?” Vincent said as he looked at me with tension clearly written on his face.
Huh?……
How should I tell him…… it’s quite expensive and I don’t really want to receive that much of costly teddy bear.
I am just better with nothing…… to be frank.
What if in future he says gold digger just for receiving a teddy bear from him……
My heartbeat began to quicken as I was stuck in between, if I try to give him back, the thing might not go well too.
” Ah! I tried to find teddy bear that looks like your teddy, but I couldn’t find like one. I searched everywhere, going to every single toy shop, I searched whole city but I couldn’t get it, I was left with this, which looked little similar.
” I worked so hard to for it to find, even bunking the class for it but all you do is sulking, If you don’t like it then just throw it out, I won’t care!!!” Vincent blurted out in single breath fuming up rendering me speechless.
He…… searched whole city……?
He worked up all hard just to find a teddy which looked like mine????
And he bunked just for me????
Kawaaaaiiiiiiiii!!!
Vincent pulled it out from my hand, almost ready to throw it out. “Vincent!” I grabbed his hand, pouncing on him almost rolling over him.
” Vincent. I liked it. It’s so fluffy and nice. I will keep it, don’t you dare throw it away!” I tried the teddy bear from him, but he was moving his hand faster away from me.
” But you looked like you didn’t like it!”
” No. No. I love it. Thank you so much” I barked out succeeding in snatching the teddy from him. I cuddled the teddy with adoration.
It seemed like Vincent froze, blush creeping on his face and it didn’t take even a second for me to freeze too. I was straddling him as I intended to snatch the teddy from him, I had rolled upon him, cuddling teddy upon his chest, unaware of the situation…… it means I might have indirectly cuddled him too!??? No wonder he was blushing.
Vincent noticed that I was staring at his blush like a starstruck kid, he blushed even more, and he suddenly covered me in blanket, rolling me off to the other side of the bed.
” Sleep! You are burning, I heard from Rose that you are having fever” He tugged the blanket more onto me, almost making me a human burrito.
“Mmm……” I nodded.
” Did you take medicine?”
” Yes.”
” Sleep then, if fever doesn’t go low by the night, don’t go to college tomorrow also. I will manage your attendance for the respective classes, you don’t need to worry about that.” Vincent cooed patting my head like I was a small kid.
Manage my attendance?
Is he that powerful???
Even principal was shaking in front him though……
” Go to sleep”
I pouted almost like whining ” I am not getting sleep though……”
” Do you want me to stay then?” My eyes widened, so many thoughts in my mind at his words, his closeness, his eyes……
” What will it make a difference if you stay so?” I said trying to keep my voice normal as possible. I was hell scared!!
” I don’t know…… may be I would be singing lullaby for you. You know untill I find you sleep”
Heh!.
“I am not a kid for your kind information”
” But you seem like you are to me for your kind information.”
” I am only two years younger than you!!!” I fumed up making v sign.
” Two f***ing years!” Vincent teased me saying in a feminine voice, putting more oil to my pit of anger.
I squinted my eyes at him, giving a death glare. He squeezed my cheeks with his hands.
” Well to be frank you are actually 2 years and 8 months younger than me.”
” Okay okay I get it Old Man!” I sticked my tongue out.
” Why you little……” He crushed me wrapping his arms around me, his leg across the blanket and I laughed.
…….
Day by day Vincent had been treating me better, he daily comes to the house to check me up, which was quite astonishing.
I guess normal days were blooming up for me. People almost forgot seeing me as a weak and the victim of bullying since there was no news of bullying from Vincent and Blake anymore. I almost became invisible which was a good sign for me.
The usual forte frequently hanged out in Rose’s house. I never saw that guy who tried to rape anymore. Well I have seen in movies and manga books that the person comes back just to take revenge or something, but he never showed up, it’s not that I wanted see him lol, but he was seen nowhere in the university, I wondered what happened when he was left with Blake.
I heard that Vincent was least bothered of what happened in university, never took interest in any girl. I mean he was the most powerful and popular in college, he could get any hot babe within a snap of his finger, but he never engaged to one.
Was he so much devoted to Eva?
I learnt that I was the only poor soul he had bullied so far. He might have engaged into fights which Blake got into, but I heard that I was the only one he bothered to stuck his nose into.
So I was the only one in his blacklist? But Why only me???
Wel if he hadn’t reached in time to help me maybe I wouldn’t have been lively as I am now. I owe him big now, or maybe I forgive him what he all he did to me before. I baked a cake all by myself as a token of gratitude for Vincent.
I forgive you Vincent…….
Me, Harper and Rose went to Vincent’s house to hang out. I brought the cake with me, to personally to give to him.
My heart was beating wildly, when we reached his house. I don’t know why I was tremendously trembling, because it was the first time I had baked a cake for a boy.
” Uhh… umm Emma where’s Vincent?” I asked shyly as I couldn’t see Vincent in the hall.
” Upstairs…… in his room.”
” Oh……”
” Go up… I don’t think he will come down untill dinner is ready. Go surprise him” Emma pushed me towards the stairs smiling and giggling.
I gulped and felt my heart hammering in my chest as I slowly made my way over to him thinking this was it.
My heart was racing and my breath became uneven. I could even hear my heart beating so loudly in my ears. Lub-dub……. lub-dub.
I entered the room and froze, in place. Vincent was throwing blows on the punching bag, and he was half naked wearing only a black coloured boxer.
I had never seen a boy naked, I mean half naked… I mean chest. His physique was model worthy, with strong, wide shoulders, thick arms, and a lean torso that was rippled with deeply intended and sculpted abs. I was trembling holding the cake box, gaping at him in shock.
” You know a picture of mine could last long.”
