Vanessa was on the sofa with one of her leg on the arm rest and the other on the ground.
Her body leaning on the other with one of her hand hugging the arm rest while the other one held a can of Pepsi.
Elizabth glanced at her a few times before throwing the book she was correcting on her.
While Victoria was enjoying this all with her popcorn.
"Ouch what the hell was that about." Vanessa said rubbing her nose.
"Check it yourself." Elizabeth said making Victoria giggle.
I did the right thing by getting up early.' Victoria thought.
Vanessa narrowed her eyes at Victoria for a second before diverting her attention towards the notebooks which was filled in red crosses.
'I'm proud." Vanessa thought sheepishly.
"I asked you to do math not gibberish." Elizabeth yelled making Victoria giggle.
"What's wrong here, math has equations and alphabets and I wrote both." Vanessa argued pointing at one of the answers.
Victoria leaned in closer to have a better look.
"168×79÷59=?
Answer:- => 168×79÷59=168×79÷59
168×79÷59 is also represented as X
=> 168×79÷59=X
1900×y= 3800. Find y.
Answer:- Quit being nosy.
1890×900÷890+189=?
Answer:- 1890×900÷890+189= Have mercy" Victoria laughed out loud at the last one.
"What the hell is that." Elizabeth cried.
"Have mercy." Vanessa said sheepishly.
"I know you're doing it on purpose." Elizabeth said raising her eyebrow.
"Will you leave me if I said yes." Vanessa asked grinning.
"Hell no she won't." Victoria said laughing.
"Why is she even here." Vanessa asked exasperated pointing at Victoria.
Elizabeth glanced at Victoria and tilted her head towards the door, gesturing her to leave.
Victoria looked pleadingly at Elizabeth but later huffed seeing Elizabeth not budging.
Victoria stamped Vanessa's foot which was on the floor before making her way out.
"That little bitch." Vanessa cussed.
"I'm not gonna leave you till you get em correct." Elizabeth threatened her.
"How is Lucas." Vanessa asked hoping to distract her.
"He is fine." She said.
"Where are you going for the date." Vanessa asked smirking.
"It's not a date." Elizabeth said biting her lips to stop herself from smiling.
"Do you want it to be a date." Vanessa asked happy that she distracted her friend.
"Yes- I mean no. I don't know." Elizabeth stuttered out.
"Are you OK with us dating." Elizabeth asked looking hesitant. "I mean he is after all your brother. Foster but still."
"It's your life what does that have to do with me." Vanessa asked looking confused.
"Well the next question." Elizabeth moved towards the next question on the paper. "You didn't think I didn't see through your little trick, did you." Elizabeth said with a smirk looking at Vanessa's annoyed face.
"I might agree on you both dating if you leave me alone. No tutoring shit." Vanessa negotiated despite saying she doesn't care if they date a few seconds back.
"Nice try but hard pass." Elizabeth grinned making Vanessa groan.
After 2 hours of studies Vanessa was hyperventilating with all the informations when they heard the door bell ring.
"I will go check who it is." Vanessa jumped to her feet.
"No need Victoria will- and gone." Elizabeth said throwing her hand in the air, looking at Vanessa back.
Vanessa made her way towards the front door only to see Victoria already there looking through the peep hole.
"Who is that." Said Vanessa startling Victoria.
"Open the door already people." Came a manly voice from the other side of the door.
What is he doing here.
Victoria opened the door and jumped on him.
"Oh my gosh I missed you." Victoria squealed hugging the neck of the slightly muscular and tall man.
"Who is that." Elizabeth asked beside Vanessa.
"Xavier." Vanessa said as soon as she came out of her trance.
"You." He said.
"I live here don't be surprised to see me here." Vanessa said.
"Why didn't you tell us that you were coming here." Elizabeth said and went in for a hug.
Vanessa's and Xavier's eyes made contact.
Vanessa and Xavier were laying on the bed breathing heavily.
"That was my first time." Max inhaled deeply.
Vanessa was startled by his confession.
"Didn't you say you lost your virginity to someone you love." Vanessa asked bewilderedly.
"That's why I lost it to you." He said looking her directly in her eyes.
"I love you. I have for a while now." He confessed taking her hand in his.
Vanessa retracted her hand and got of the bed.
"This was a mistake. We shouldn't have done this." Vanessa apologized.
"We can try this, once. Please, I can give you the world." Xavier pleaded.
"You know I don't do love. I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong idea." Vanessa apologized before she wore her clothes.
Xavier held her forearm and asked her.
"Why not. Is it because of me. I can change." Xavier asked desperately.
Vanessa looked back at him.
"It's not you it's me." She said taking her arm back.
He went overseas shortly after that ordeal.
"It's been a while." He said nodding at her.
"It's been a while." She said with a small smile.
"Does anyone else know you are here." Victoria asked clinging onto his back.
"Yes Lucas knows, I told him to keep it a surprise." He said making his way towards one of the sofa and dropped Victoria.
"What are you doing here anyways." Vanessa asked shutting the door.
"I feel attacked." He joked.
"Well I needed your help." He said towards Elizabeth.
Elizabeth pointed towards herself in question.
"There is this boy." He started.
"Oh tell me more." Vanessa and Victoria said in unison leaning closer.
"So there is this boy. I think I like him." He said not kidding their behaviour.
"So." Victoria urged.
"So what. I'm not gay but I get a boner everytime he whispers in my ear." He said.
"I thought this will be interesting." Victoria said and went back to scrolling in her phone.
"You like him." Elizabeth concluded.
"I'm hungry." Vanessa said and went towards the kitchen.
He followed closely.
"Any regrets." He asked her.
"No." Vanessa said without looking back.
"Can't believe it's been a year." He said nostalgic.
"Time flies." She said nodding her head.
"Was I that bad in bed you had to change your s****l preference." They both chuckled at that.
"I didn't understand why you didnt want me before and I still don't but I guess I can understand where you are coming from." He said.
"Why don't we forget that night and be friends." She suggested reaching out her hand.
He looked at her hand for a while and reached out his own and shook it.
'Meet me with Xavier and Victoria today at 5.'~ Alexander.
"Looks like we are needed." Vanessa said with a smirk.
