LOVE & TOUCH

Chapter 22

Felix's Pov

She looked stunned and offended at the same time. I sipped on my coffee to hide my smirk. How can she be so effortlessly cute and pretty at the same time?

"Just kidding." I added so she won't think of me badly again.

Even so, I did really kiss her. And if only she really did not collapse, I might hover her and drive her again until we both lost our sanity. F*ck, what am I even saying? Crazy.

My phone rang while I was in the middle of watching her with her red face. We both looked at the screen.

"I'll just answer this. Eat more." I said and stood up and turned my back from the dining table.

"Yes honey?" I answered while smirking. And it widened when I heard the sound of a utensil falling on the floor. I looked back at Vin. Her lips are in a thin line.

"Are you okay?" I asked her. She just nodded before picking up the spoon.

"Who is that?" Honey asked on the other line. I stared at Vin. "Just a cat..." I answered. But it seems like Vin understands it. She cast an irritable gaze at me before rolling her eyes. What an attitude...

"Felix!" Honey screamed. I immediately removed my phone from my ear and walked out of the kitchen, and I could feel the burning eyes of Vin following me. Oh no, Vin. You shouldn't do that. I might misinterpret your actions more.

"Felix!" Honey screamed again. The heck, she's always in her high pitched.

"I told you to stop shouting at me like that."

She laughed on the other line. "I just want to know if you will attend this certain pictorial? You have already declined that offer, but the brand owner reached out to me again. They really like you?"

I sat on the couch where I could still see Vin. I saw her staring at me again with those deadly eyes. She diverted her gaze back on her plate like she wasn't caught.

"It's understandable, Honey. And what brand again?" I asked while stiffling a laughs.

She sighed. "You and your humble words. Well the brand is...Celine? Yeah. You should at least try it. They might get you as their brand ambassador too. I heard they are looking for it."

I clicked my nect twice while thinking about the brand name. Should I give it a try? I have declined some of the offers since I want to rest for atleast a months but I guess they really need me, huh?

"I'll think about it. How about my schedule today?"

"What? I've already sent it to you!" she said, letting out a sigh again. "Whatever. You have a short pictorial today too. I hope you're ready because it's all underwear." She chuckled afterwards. She's now probably imagining it.

I turned my gaze in Vin's direction. She's not eating. She was just staring at her food.

"Honey, can I bring someone?"

"Huh?" She asked, like my words were foreign to her.

"I'll bring someone. Let's just meet there." I repeated.

Vin's Pov

I straightened my back when he came back. I didn't look at him. I stayed my eyes on my food which pleading and asking for me to eat and finish them all.

"Why aren't you eating? Eat, Vin." He said and sat down again in front of me.

I drink the water in my glass. I lost my appetite, i***t.

"I'm done. I'll go home now." I uttered and was about to stand up from my chair, but he stopped me.

"No. You're not done yet. Eat, Vin." He said it firmly.

My brows shut up in annoyance. Who is he again to tell me that I need to eat or not?

I pull his hold away from me. "You can eat them. I'm done-"

In just a seconds, he managed to stood and leaned closer to the table. I bit my lips not to overreact. "Why so suddenly? You're not like that earlier."

My heart is pumping and racing. "W-What? I told you I'm not that hungry--"

His stare is making me nervous. Is this even possible? I don't like him. His personality, his attitude, everything. But why am I so freaking nervous around him? "Are you jealous of Honey?" He suddenly voice out and it's widened my eyes in a fraction.

"What?" I hissed. Did he really ask if I am jealous? Who? He's crazy.

I chuckled. "Are you out of your mind? You're so d-delusional." The last word gave me away.

He stared at me before he sat back. I clasped my hands together on top of my lap and let out a little sigh.

"Maybe, huh?" He spoke in a low voice. Then he nodded twice. "Alright, you can go home now."

My lips hung open a bit. That's it?

"O-Okay..."I replied. He really did not say anything until I'm on my way to leave, he just continued on eating. This bastard.

I swallowed. "I'll go now..." I said and he just nodded without looking at me. I glanced once again on him before I stepped out. What am I dam expecting? He is just an assh*le.

I am on my mid stepped when he called me again.

"Wait, Vin..."

I fiercely looked at his eyes while wondering why my heart was still beating crazily. Maybe I'm just nervous? He is crazy, so I'm nervous around him. There's no other explanation.

"What, again?"

He was grinning like there was something funny from his point of view. See? Who wouldn't be nervous around this man? He always looks like he's thinking about something evil.

"Relax...I just want to ask you something."

I would punch his face if it would be some non sense again.

"What?"

He folder his arms and leaned on the doorway. "You see, I have a pictorial today and I need someone to accompany me. Can you be that someone?" He questioned.

I pointed my feet at him. "Why would I go with you? The hell I care about you and your doings. Cut me out, Felix." I flipped my hair. "Ah, why don't you invite that Honey instead of me?" I sarcastically added.

He gave out a thunderous bark of laughter.

I controlled myself not to curse him for making me feel like a fool.

"You're right, why don't I invite her instead? She would be a great company." He said while still stiffling his laughs. If he thinks he looks and sounds so funny, he should think twice.

"Yeah, right. Invite her, stupid." I hardly say.

He stared at me with the same expression before stepping through my direction with his claw and focus eyes. I tried not to be fazed by the defined difference of our heigh and not even to his presence. I didn't step back and instead, I stilled on my feet with expressionless face.

"C'mon, if you're jealous... you can tell me, Vin. We can do something about it." He said this gently while crouching to level our eyes.

This delusional.

"Is there a need to be jealous? Why would I...to you? You aren't my boyfriend. You're not, Hendrix."

His expression didn't change though. As if he already expects me to say it in front of his face. As if he already used to it.

"Is there really nothing, Vin? Hmm?" He scanned the features of my face. "Aren't you really jealous?"

I pushed his chest when I'm on my limits. My heart was pounding so hard that I'm afraid he could hear it.

"S-Stop your craziness--"

He tilted his head a bit. "I wonder what you really feel towards me."
