Chapter 76: Chapter 76

Outside the men’s comfort room, Ryan and Emily blamed each other endlessly.

“It was your fault. You should have looked behind you,” Ryan complained,

“And what about you? Did you think that meddling into my fight help? It made the whole situation damn f*cked!”

But when Vincent went out of the comfort room with his wet hair, the two stopped squabbling and shut their mouths.

“Sorry,” the two said in unison.

Wiping a few drops of water on his chin, Vincent responded, “If you are truly sorry, then buy me Takoyaki.”

They lifted their heads, and Emily noticed Vincent was looking at Ryan as if she’s the only person in his eyes.

‘This guy is a snake,’ Emily learned.

“I have class this afternoon. Only came early to eat Takoyaki, but since I helped the two of you, I couldn’t eat. It’s awkward to go back to the cafeteria after the incident. So, I suggested you to take me outside and buy Takoyaki for me.”

It is a date.

Lowkey, Vincent was asking her for a date.

‘Maybe this is also a good time to give my answer to Vincent,’ Ryan thought.

“Oh right! My boyfriend chatted with me and asked me to meet him after lunch,” the single lady, Emily, lied.

She figured out she needed to leave Vincent and Ryan alone.

“Enjoy eating your Takoyaki! And thanks again, Vincent! Bye!” She walked away while waving Ryan, giving her extra support.

Yup! Ryan really needed that. She needed courage to reject Vincent, who has the strongest character among the five.

Vincent and Ryan went to the Mall with his motorbike. They went in line for the famous Takoyaki stands, and while they were there, Ryan noticed those who were stealing glances at Vincent.

She felt so proud. Ryan even flipped her hair while asking Vincent, “How many sets of Takoyaki do you want?”

She did it to boast that she came here with a handsome man like him. Not the typical female lead of a reverse harem piece, indeed.

“Just one set,” Vincent answered.

“Okay~”

Finally, it was their turn.

“Two Takoyaki set and two sodas,” Ryan ordered.

After getting their orders, they perched down on empty seats at the crowded food court. Ryan took sip of her soda, while Vincent had Takoyaki.

“Ahhh,” Vincent winced in pain as the Takoyaki was hot and he burned his lips.

“You fine?”

“Barely. If you kiss my lips, it won’t hurt anymore.”

“Do you want to die?”

“Maybe?” Vincent only chuckled before he blew air on the Takoyaki and ate it.

“Anyway, I was really scared before. We might end up in the guidance office again.”

“Never. I have ways to shut her mouth, but that woman did something horrible before.”

“You knew her?”

“She chatted me a long time ago. She sent nudes.” He wiped his lips with a tissue and then crumpled it on his hand. “I almost called the Animal welfare and asked them to put her back to her cage.”

It hits Ryan – the fact that Vincent was surrounded with women who wanted to get his attention. And she was planning to reject that man today.

“Sorry about before,” Ryan uttered.

“You don’t need to feel sorry for things you intended to do,” Vincent said, before taking a sip on his soda. After he gulped, he added, “But if you will apologize for kissing Slyvester, then I will accept it.”

Vincent opened the topic she wanted to discuss.

Ryan peered into his eyes, and she knew she had to take the chance right now.

“Vincent. I like Slyvester.”

Vincent gave him a reaction that she did not expect. He only nodded his head and calmly answered, “I know. It’s pretty obvious.” He ate another Takoyaki and chew it apathetically.

He has the plainest reaction among everyone!

“Is that mean we’re okay? As friends?” Ryan asked because she thought Vincent had already given up.

“No. I accepted that you like Slyvester, but I would not stop. Without marriage, I can still steal you away from him.”

The four men have different reaction regarding to this. Chaylen cried. Kyle let her go. Terban avoided the topic. And Vincent? He was showing his attitude while rejecting her rejection.

Ryan realized that Vincent is one of her biggest stone.

“Vincent. Did you not get what I said?”

“I get it. But I don’t care.”

“Why are you doing this to me?! I am trying to be the good girl here!”

“Then…” Vincent raised his hand. Using his thumb, he gently wiped the sauce on Ryan’s lower lip. “Be a bad girl,” he whispered in a husky tone. After wiping Ryan’s lips, he licked his thumb.

Ryan’s heart skipped a beat. He looked sexy and handsome, and Ryan felt like a real bad girl right now!

“Damn it!” she shouted, standing up.

Vincent laughed at her reaction.

“Where are you going?”

“I’ll go back to school! Do what you want!”

“How about your Takoyaki?”

“Eat them all!”

“Can I use the toothpick that you used? That would be indirect kiss.”

Heat rushed down her cheeks. She went back and snatched the toothpick from his hand.

"Aww," Vincent chuckled.

Ryan was about to walk away again, but she realized that Vincent might drink on her soda. Right when she looked back, Vincent was already holding her drink. So, she came back again.

“This is mine too,” She stated, grabbing the soda can and leaving him for good.

From behind, Vincent observed her while grinning.

Vincent knew that Ryan likes Slyvester.

However, Vincent is selfish. He gets what he wants. This time, it is his first experience to fall in love, and so, he will do everything to steal the love he desires.

“Achoo!” Chaylen sneezed. He wiped his nose and uttered, "I suddenly felt chills on my body."

If Vincent is not a typical man who will raise a white flag while crying, Ryan isn’t an easy foe either.

“Vincent is so annoying,” Ryan complained while entering the gate of the school. “I did my best to be a good girl, but he used his face to seduce me? I need to stay away and whisk this devilish side of me.”

“Do you know Slyvester from the Business Management course?” Ryan heard students’ conversation from the side.

Her ears turned bigger upon hearing the name “Slyvester.”

“Yes, I know that guy. He’s very handsome and funny. And many said that he came from a super duper rich family. Why?”

“That guy has a girlfriend.”

“Really?! Who? She’s studying in our school too?!”

“No. I think she’s from another University. But those who saw the girl said that she’s f*cking gorgeous.”

“How lucky~”

Ryan clenched her fists. She looked up as her eyes turned dim.

“I will really strangle that woman’s neck. Just you wait, Giselle.”

Who said that being possessive only applies to men?

If Ryan is a man, she might be worst than Vincent.
