Chapter 77
Jennie Wilson POV
“Vincent……” I breathed out trying to maintain a distance, pushing his shoulder but he held my hand pulled me deadly close to him.
What is he trying to do!?
” You are freezing, you need to stay warm…… ” Vincent whispered softly rendering speechless, his mood getting light all of a sudden.
I placed my hands on his chest. ” I don’t need your help…… If this is one of your charity work for this poor girl than I politely decline it. ”
” It’s not charity work……”
That’s it… He didn’t say anything further……
Vincent said it softly without getting irritated, pulling me by my nape towards him, trapping me with his body and I couldn’t believe it.
” Why are you doing this?? ” I whispered out but he didn’t respond to me, just looking at me. There was hint of vulnerability in his eyes.
” Is it because of Elora……? Want to keep me alive for tomorrow’s show? ”
He didn’t utter a word, hesitant of speaking out something, very unlike him. He was looking at me sadly slightly pouting.
Is he a baby……
I can never understand his mood swings, once he wants me to be near him but the next he pushes me off bluntly. Why is he like that?
Is it because of his disorder????
I did read in cyclothymia disorder they swing in cycles between hypomania and depressive phases.
He sometimes blurt out way too quickly without thinking, uttering something unnecessary, sometimes completely hyperactive, but as the hours pass by he will go so dull, very sad.
I seriously don’t know how to handle him……
” You can trust me…… I won’t do anything stupid…… You’re safe with me, just get better. ” Vincent whispered very lowly rendering me speechless.
For a moment, he seemed unreal. My mind was foggy, so I needed several moments to understand that my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me.
Was it okay to not to say anything and go with the flow???
I couldn’t take risk provoking him too, Blake had always advised me not to trigger him as he’s sometimes incapable of good judgement at a moment and have a tendency to be easily distracted too.
If we were like normal duo then I would have kicked him to the Mars and stayed away from him. But……
He was no ordinary, he was no like other boys…… his world had changed completely as he developed disorder.
His thinking, his behaviour, his emotion, his whole lifestyle completely different from us.
I really had to tame him wisely and carefully if I had to get along with him. He did need support and care from me but he would never admit it or take help from me.
You’re a lucky motherf***er to have a good and kind hearted girl like me do you know that????
Stupid Vincent…… why do I keep forgiving you……
I ducked my head on his embrace putting my hand on his shoulder, not saying anything further and his grip increased on me.
He held me silently, ducking his head on my shoulder, his breath going uneven for a while and I closed my eyes.
Sometimes words weren’t necessary in a particular moments and silence gave all in.
He rubbed my back soothingly and warmth surged through my veins, blanketing me just like his intoxicating scent.
I closed my eyes as he patted me and I was feeling sleepy now. It was ironic and thrilling that he wasn’t feeling uncomfortable with me.
Was he finally letting me see his other side, finally treating me like something more than a bug to squash?
No no…… he’s doing all this because of Elora. He caring for me personally is always a delusion……
I lifted my head and my eyes glided over his face and I stared at him motionless, my heartbeat thudding in my ears.
He was sleeping so peacefully, unbothered very unlike from the last time I saw him in sleep.
He was holding me possessively, even if I moved a little, his grip on me would get more tight than before. I yawned, my eyes finally giving in and I slept off, lost his embrace.
* Morning*
I fluttered my eyes open and looked to my side. Vincent was sleeping peacefully, ducking his face on my neck, his hand interlocked on my waist.
He always got up earlier than me but today he was still with me on the bed sleeping.
” Hey bro whaa ah……” Blake words hung up on the air, gaping at us in disbelief as he stood in front of the door.
My face flushed out and I pushed Vincent but he gripped my waist tightly snuggling more into me, reluctant to let me go.
Blake eyes widened at the sight and he blinked his eyes as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
He coughed intensionally. ” Hey Vincent! Get up bro…… it’s late……”
There was no response from Vincent side and Blake glared at me. ” What did you do to him last night? ”
” What do you mean by ‘what did you do to him?’ You bastard! ” I fumed up glaring at him.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“I meant I never saw him like this though…… he never allowed anyone to be this close to him since then…… not even us, no snuggles and cuddles as far as I know.”
He never? But he was the first one to initiate this yesterday though…….
I looked at him confused, suspecting him if he was saying the truth or not but Blake looked so amused seeing us.
” Woah…… it looks like he’s progressing little by little…… he’s really taking baby steps towards it……” Blake eyes shimmered with hope as he looked at Vincent.
I could see very intense, strong devotion and concern in eyes as he looked at Vincent, rendering me speechless.
Blake really took care of Vincent in all the way round and protected him from anything stood in front of him.
It looked like their bond was very much strong and unbreakable. Why was he so much devoted to Vincent than any other here?
” I wish I could let him sleep more but I can’t let him sleep more too…… you should know he shouldn’t over sleep too, he needs to be active. ”
” It’s also a symptom of cyclothymia or any disorders in particular. Either they get insomnia or they excessively sleep off. We really need to take care of his health too…… otherwise his mood swings and dullness will keep cycling around.”
I looked at Vincent in concern, a searing ache claiming my chest.
” Vincent get up……” I shook him little and he whined, his brow tensing.
” Hmm……? You woke up? ” He narrowly opened his eyes, still sleepy and he intertwined his fingers with my bangs and pushed it touching my forehead.
” Your temperature seems alright now…” He said sleepily making me skip a heart beat. First thing he did waking was to check me up?
He suddenly snuggled more into me, ducking his head on my base of my neck, caressing my back slightly dozing off making me flush out.
” Yo bro! ” Blake yelled out, his eyes shimmering with amusement.
Vincent jolted out and and he turned around towards the Blake, his eyes widening in shock.
He let go off me quickly, maintaining a distance between us rendering me speechless. He coughed awkwardly getting up completely.
” Whe…… when did you barge in motherf***er!?” Vincent looked at him with annoyed expression.
” Why…… did I disturb something? Needed some privacy? ” Blake smirked wiggling his eyebrows and I turned into red tomato. Vincent’s hand twitched and threw a pillow on his face.
” It’s not what you think okay……” Vincent barked at him getting off the bed.
” Yeah yeah I know……” Blake pounced on Vincent cuddling him and Vincent kicked him and pushed hitting him and cursing him.
Blake was reluctant to let him go, hugging him, bearing his every hit, not snarling or hitting him back and I was stuck on my bed watching them in disbelief.
Wow, I never saw this side of Blake though…… it was only meant for Vincent. For others he looked like he would love to kill them without any hesitation or single remorse.
” Get off me you cheeky bastard! Don’t make me murder you this instant!”
” My Vince has grown up, I’m in tears.” Blake cuddled Vincent beaming with immense happiness and I was dumbfounded.
Is he for real????
” What the f*** are you thinking! She was shivering yesterday and I just warmed her up…… I’m not pervert like you okay! ”
” I know I know…… you don’t need to prove your innocence to me okay…… I’m happy for something else, you wouldn’t know.”
” And what the f*** is that??”
They exited together and I was left out just like that. I was ignored completely and I was sitting dumfounded, still frozen, my hair stuck out.
What was that……????
Was I ignored by them?????
I got of from the bed, scratching my head in confusion and I strode towards the bathroom to freshen up.
I walked towards the stairs and saw Emma arranging breakfast. She smiled at me and strode towards me and checked my temperature.
” You seem all fine now…… I thought you wouldn’t recover sooner……” She chirped and I blushed remembering last night.
” You know we won 4 free tickets in a game for a big fair happening today in West side?? ” Elora chirped out drinking her orange juice.
” Oh that’s great……” I cooed drinking the soup.
” Are you fine now? Healthy and fit??? ” Elora questioned me and eyed her in disbelief.
Since when did she think about me……
” Yes I guess……”
” Good Vincent can also attend with us! We can buy rest of the tickets and attend the fair tonight… ” Just as I thought……
” Vincent!!!!!” Elora chirped out and I turned around without thinking.
Vincent and Blake walked towards us and they looked in good mood, especially Blake.
” You know we got tickets for the big fair…… you are definitely going to come with us this time!” Elora chirped out trying to hold Vincent but he dodged her walking towards me.
” Is my girl coming too?” He pointed me and my pulse kicked into the fifth gear. Can you not say that……!
” Yes……” Elora said bitterly glaring at me.
” Okay then I’ll come……” Vincent said sitting near me and I flushed out by his presence.
…….
I spent rest of the day rolling out here and there reading manga books, chatting with Emma and cooking and it was getting dark now.
” Come let’s get you ready!” Emma pulled me but I slacked my arm off immediately.
” No thanks! Last time when you got me ready, I almost got murdered by your brother! I’m going to get ready on my own please!”
” Jennie……”
” Nope!” I denied and ran off from here climbing the stairs and barged into the room.
It was better if I got ready according to my style than be like that Eva, because last time I was tagged with many names by him and fought like hell, which led to me getting stuck in a mob attack.
If I obey Emma and get ready just like Eva then I have to wait for a terrorist attack this time to happen and me getting killed in this big fair. Lol…… What am I thinking…… idiot girl……
I took out my favourite knee length red floral frock from my bag and I smiled cheekily deciding to change. I took off my t-shirt out in excitement but I froze.
Vincent came out from bathroom and he froze, his eyes widened instantly gaping at me. I almost forgot this was the Vincent room but not mine…… Stupid girl…!
What can I do, I already got adjusted to his room……
His gaze slightly shifted down and I quickly covered myself with the t-shirt turning tomato red and he looked away quickly coughing, his ear going red.
” Sorry… I…… I…… thought you were with Emma so I didn’t…… I’ll …… I’ll get ready in Blake’s room…… you can continue…”
Vincent shuttered unexpectedly not eye contacting me and I didn’t wanted him too anyway as I did my best to cover myself at most. This is so embarrassing!
He walked away abruptly dashing out of the room and I screamed internally. Every time I get caught in embarrassing situation with him. First that in locker room, then that bathroom and now this!!!!!
Kill me already!!!
Atleast I was wearing camisole…… but still. Invisible river of tears flowed into me and I wore the frock quickly not trusting further situation.
I tied my hair into high ponytail and applied my not so expensive face cream of mine and red lip gloss. I wore the pendant my mom gave me.
Perfect!
