Vin's POV:
As we left the classroom together, I made her follow me all the way to the restroom. She was waiting outside while I was minding my business. After that, I just stood in front of the mirror wasting time to make her suffer.
What does she exactly do to have that kind of power in her freaking hands? When I was screaming because of the impact she caused... I noticed that she didn't even flinch.
Sighing, I finally came outside only to find out that she was gone. I tried to look around for her...
"Ughhhh!" I kicked the innocent wall and growled.
"Does it hurt that bad?" I heard a little voice coming from behind. I turned around at once. And there she was...standing and looking at me. She was holding a plastic glass full of ice cubes, her face showing concern.
Is it too soon to celebrate?
"Hold this." She said while holding out the glass.
"..." I just looked at her hand.
"You'll feel better..."
I took the glass, not so sure. But as it touched my palm I felt a mixture of pain and relief. Wow~
"Let's go." She starts walking.
"Where?" I don't want to leave just yet.
"Nurse room!"
"..." I didn't say anything. Why do we go to a nurse's room?
"Are you still mad at me?" After seeing me quiet, she looked up at me, making a face I couldn't really comprehend.
"..." Well she made a fool out of me in front of the whole damn class. She ruined my image and shattered it into small pieces. But still...I'm not mad at her.
"Yeah, I know I did a stupid thing... like seriously who gave high fives in front of a teacher? It's all my fault. I thought we were class fellows, we sat together and we kinda rocked the oral test too. So... Seriously man that was hella embarrassing. And I wanted to say sorry but I won't, because sorry doesn't undo the mistakes. Believe me, I'll never ever do that again. Hashtag Say no to high five." She stopped to take a breath.
Woah she should seriously consider being a rapper. I'll sponsor her show. She'll rock the stage.
I wanted to clap but my hand was hurt and busy holding the cold glass too. Surprisingly that doesn't hurt anymore. But I won't tell her that. Let's just take advantage for an hour or two. Haha! I was immersed in thoughts when she walked towards me.
She stopped. Two feet apart. She tilted her head a little to look at me. Did she know that her cold glass remedy worked?
"Excuse me!" She said lightly and grabbed my wrist above the sleeves so that I couldn't feel her touch directly. She starts walking somewhere. I wanted to know where she was taking me, but on second thought... Who cares!
.
She let go of me when we entered a boring-looking room. There were three single beds on one side, a table and some chairs on the other side, and two cupboards on the third side. It looks like a cheap-looking mini hospital. Hold on! Why are we here? Is she hurt too?
I immediately looked at her hands, first left then right. I didn't realize that I was touching her until she tried to take her hand out of mine awkwardly. I looked at her waiting for a slap or punch but she just took a step back. Well, that works too! I cleared my throat and held my head high before asking, "why are we here?"
"Umm, the doctor is not here... we need to wait a little. You can sit if you want."
Hah, in a place like this!? No chance.
I crossed my arms over my chest and stood still. She gave me a look and then went to sit on one of the chairs facing the other way.
Wh...what! I'm standing here! Why is she not looking at me? Of all the people I know she's the weirdest. I hate it when I can't read her.
I just rolled my eyes and walked towards her. She didn't even raise her smart head to look at me. I clenched my good hand tightly and sat on the freaking bed right in front of her. She was looking at her hands as I sat down and her facial expression changed. Was that a victory smile?
We just sat and waited for someone I didn't even want to see. I was suffering from boredom and she too tilted her head all the way back on her chair, sighing.
Wow her neck is... long.
I watched too many beauty pageants with my bodyguards. Dane said that girls with long necks are truly beautiful, but I said he's an idiot and only giraffes look beautiful with long necks.
Watching her closely... showing her neck I must say her neck is... attractive. I don't know why but I heard a strange dum dum sound. Is this coming from my chest!
"Sit properly!" Woah that comes out quite loud, I accidentally startled her. She just cleared her throat and sat properly. She's so adorable that I wanted to laugh at her.
A few minutes later...
My back ached while sitting, I just leaned backward. Now she was sitting straight and I was half lying on the damn bed. I closed my eyes for a moment.
Another minute passed, and I was waiting for her to speak first. As for me, I'm not that good at starting a conversation. Usually when I open my mouth everyone around me either runs away or yells back to make me shut up.
'Hmmm hm hmmm!!'
Is she humming? I opened my eyes to look at her in awe. She was rubbing her hand while humming some song in a low voice.
"Why don't you hum a little louder!" As I said she stopped and looked up at me raising her eyebrows which I can't even see. Silly!
"Ahh, I didn't realize that I was..., Well, I didn't want to disturb..."
Huh? What is she talking about...!
"Sing to me!" I half-requested.
"Wh.. what?"
"Sing to me... the song you were humming," I repeated myself.
"I can't," she half smiled.
"Why?" Does she only know the tune and not the actual lyrics?
"It's just... I don't sing in front of anyone." She shook her head a little.
"You can't say no to me. I mean I'm still hurt. Thanks to you..." I narrowed my eyes at her "...you have to do everything to make me feel better," she gave me a side smile. "Anyway, it's just the two of us here. So, you may start." I said and closed my eyes again as a sign that I didn't want to hear any 'no' from her.
Another minute passed silently and then...
She sang to me in a light husky voice. And I savored it in my heart.
She was now silent and I didn't want to open my eyes yet. She had such an amazing voice. I should talk to my quarter brother Nero, who can play multiple instruments, and ask him to release a single with her.
"Don't tell me you fell asleep." She sounded amused. I opened my eyes for a good minute later only to find her face near mine. Was she staring at me!
As our eyes met, she backed away at once, making my heart go crazy. How did she even manage to do that? Maybe I should take this seriously and see our famiglia doctor in case I have some heart issues or something.
"Let's go!" I said while standing up.
"Huh! Where? Why? Your hand!" She looked at me confused.
"To the class, to study, my hand is fine now," I answered all of her questions and walked towards the door. As I opened the door I found my personal dumb and dumber standing there. Were they eavesdropping? I narrowed my eyes at them.
As they looked at me, they turned to go the other way, giving me space. It's good that Amy didn't see them. Well, it's not like I am hiding anything from her... But if she doesn't know about my surname history then it's her own lack of knowledge. I'm not someone who goes around and brags about my Mafia for a family and some bloody underworld's dark stuff.
It's better this way... The lesser she knows the better for her... period.
.
I was walking while making sure she followed behind. I glanced at her and she was looking at her cell phone, her eyebrows furrowed as if she was trying to comprehend something. I wanted to take a peek at her cell phone so I stopped to look, and she glanced up to look at my face. What? I just raised a brow in question.
She shook her head and put the cell phone away. Why do I get the feeling that she's hiding something from me? She smiled brightly, making me forget what I was thinking a second ago. Damnme!
.
As we entered our classroom, the whole class clapped for us. What the hell!
I saw a familiar figure in front of us. Ahh, that's our lady professor!
"Let's welcome another CC!" She said, giving a fake smile.
What is CC? I looked at Amy, she looked quite flustered. What's going on?
"Go and stand there!" The professor pointed towards the wall behind her where already four people were standing, two girls and two boys, all of their faces flushed for some reason.
"Ma'am, it's not like that," Amy said in a little voice.
"Yes, that's what they said." She pointed at the four people behind her, making them look down in shame. The whole class was grinning for some unknown reason, while some were recording the whole scene. Anyway, we went to stand where our teacher wanted.
"Now class, let's give these three CCs a great round of applause. Congratulate them for being late in class."
Excuse me? All this low-class drama just because we're late? I glanced beside me and Amy looked... embarrassed? Why?
"Excuse me, can we sit? She's looking quite ashamed for being late to your class." I said in a loud voice while pointing at Amy with my thumb. Her eyes widened while looking at my thumb for some reason.
"You should have thought about that before dating," She said, making everyone laugh.
"I told you it's not like that..." Amy said beside me.
"What are you guys even talking about?" I finally have enough. "What is not like what?" I looked at Amy first "...and what is this CC thing?" Then I asked our professor.
There was a sudden silence in the whole class, even the other four who were standing beside me looked surprised. Amy just slapped her forehead. I raised a brow, waiting for an answer.
"Do you really not know what CC is?" The guy on my right side whispered.
"Duh! That's why I have asked in the first place, idiot." I whispered back a little louder.
"CC stands for Campus Couple." He replied ignoring my rudeness. I think it over a little bit.
Ah I see~ I glanced at my left side. Amy was looking down at her sneakers. Silly girl!
"Well, ma'am. We went to the nurse room and the distance was long enough to make us a little late. And..." I stopped to look at Amy, she was nodding at Ma'am while agreeing with me.
Seeing her like this something came to my mind making me smirked "And we're not CC... yet." I said casually.
Amy first nodded without giving much thought to what I said... then she looked up at me, and her eyes widened with shock, making me smile widely. Yeah, she gets that now. I winked at her and her mouth fell open. Haha!
After hearing what I just said, the whole class hooted for us. I held my hands in the air and encouraged them to shout some more. I freaking love all this attention. Our lady professor looked so done with her students, she just placed both hands on her waist and glared at everyone.
.
Amy didn't say anything at all while sitting behind me. I wanted to turn around to look at what she was doing. I waited and waited...Is she dead or what!
Then the class ended. I turned around at once only to find her... sleeping?
Professor left, and then the students around us started to disappear one after another. I tilted my head to get a better view of Amy. Her hair was all over the place. As if my hand had a mind of its own, I saw my hand near her forehead and brushing her bangs sideways.
I was looking at her like I found some kind of hidden gem. I bet my eyes were shining bright while staring at her face. I began to memorize small details of her face. My finger travels in the air near her skin tracing her facial features.
She has a small forehead, anddd I finally saw her eyebrows... perfect arc-shaped brows, straight nose, almond eyes, her eyelashes were naturally long she didn't wear any mascara. The tip of my finger touched her eyelashes a little. Then my finger traced the air over her cheek down to her chin, she had an oval face. Lastly, my eyes stop at her rose-pink lips.
I don't know how long I stared at her face, she looked like a little girl, oblivious to the real world. I don't want to end her peaceful life. Our worlds are too different to get along. Even though she's hella bewitching... there's always a but... I can't draw her into my dark world.
I've already involved her enough with me. I'm well aware of the people around me who started to notice her. I better stop myself here. Before I had some serious heart issues because of her.
Wind blows lightly causing a stray lock of hair to land on her cheek. She moved a little but didn't wake up. I took that piece of hair lightly in my first two fingers and tucked that behind her ear, my fingers slowly trailing down her neck. I had to forcefully take my hand away.
"You have no right to touch her, Vin!" I whispered to myself. I stood up but before leaving I ruffled her bangs to hide away her forehead again.
.
As I came out of the class, I walked straight ahead Rob and Dane began following me. I know they knew about her from day one but didn't say anything. Maybe they were being professional and respecting my privacy. Dane already saw her on the first day when I dressed up her bruised hand. If he saw something with his stupid eyes then it means Rob knows it too.
I bet my limited-edition fur coat that my robot already checked her background and stuff. And he's not saying anything that means she's not from our enemies' or competitors' side. Or else they would have definitely reported this to their future capo slash my half brother.
I wonder if they gave details about Amy to Erin. If Erin knew about how interested I'm in her then Carl would have already guessed it too. Because I saw his car following behind me before college. I'm sure he didn't mean any harm to me. But still, his presence is not cozy at all. Though Carl and Erin met Amy back in the parking area, that doesn't mean I wanted them to interfere in my personal life. Especially my psycho cousin, he's a freaking sneaky guy. He took my Erin, I don't want him to get friendly with Amy at all. Stupid Devil!
At the warehouse, Enzo kept his eyes on me as if he was trying to decipher my actions. I didn't want to make him suspicious or anything. But he can... maybe he might have already taken certain actions to meddle in my personal lie. Anyways, my brother is a gentleman slash hopeless romantic himself and I'm damn sure if he knew about Amy then he would be the first one to support me with her.
Yesterday Nero - unlike his character - sat for a long time with me and Rob. Even though he didn't show it, I'm his freaking eldest brother, and I know his nosiness better than anyone. I won't be surprised if he was following me around in this damn place. Haha, my little quarter nosy brother! I would really love to see your face if I caught you following me.
I stopped in front of my car, waiting for Rob to get the door for me.

AMY's POV:
I opened my eyes and he left after ruffling my hair. I heard him whispering. I won't deny that my stupid heart skipped a beat when he said that in his low raspy voice.
"That's right. You have no right to touch me, Vincent Hart." I smiled a little.
Time to go Amy... I grabbed all of my stuff and left the class.
What a hectic day!
_____
Amy looked at her cell phone and she received a strange text from an unknown number.
Unknown: Stay away from him.
She ignored it without giving much thought, maybe her classmates were trying to make some kind of practical joke.
.
Then she got another text this time in freaking bold capital letters from another unknown number. She looked up from her cell phone to look at his face and... just smiled from heart.
Unknown: STAY AWAY FROM VINCENT HART LUCCHESE!
