Kaede's POV
"Gin! Is this okay?" I asked him while showing him what I was wearing.
I was wearing a V-neck black long sleeve fitted top, a knee-length red fitted skirt, and black killer heels. I blew-dry my hair, and I let it down, flowing it up to my waist.
He peered at me with a disapproval look. "Do you have anything that makes your legs and cleavage visible?" He said. He didn’t like what I was wearing. It looked sexy to me. It complimented my curves, but not for him. Such a p*****t. He wanted those clothes that offer more flesh.
I hit his head because of his choice of clothes.
“Ouch! What's your problem, K? That hurts, damn, ” he said while rubbing his head.
I looked at him while slitting my eyes. Telling him, I didn’t like his choice of clothes.
Was it required to show legs and cleavage for them to acknowledge that you're sexy? Maybe from Gin's perspective, it was needed to show those assets because he was a p*****t playboy. I wanted to smack his face right now. He was such a p*****t. He was lucky because we were friends. Tsk.
"Are you insane? What am I? A slut going to a club? Let me remind you that we’re going to buy ingredients in the grocery store. Not in a club, ” I said while my brows furrowed.
"It doesn't need to be as sexy as those for clubbing. Jeez. Just this one, Kaede. So that Fri—that girl will get insecure, and she will regret rejecting me, ” he said while pouting.
So there was a girl who rejected him—poor Gin. But seriously, he looked so cute while pouting, but it was somewhat irritating too. Tsk.
"Tsk! You are so picky! Ugh! I got it. I'll change my clothes again. Just relax there, ” I said to him and then turned my back, rushing towards my bedroom.
The girl was a bad-ass because she rejected Gin. I liked her already. I hope she would make Gin suffer. Oops! He deserved it for playing a lot of girls. Maybe she could tame the Casanova devil.
I rummaged my closet trying to find something fitted to the likes of Gin. I couldn't refuse Gin. He was like a brother to me, and he helped me a lot when I was still struggling with his shattered ego. I can do this.
"Ugh! I don't even have dresses like before, ” I kept on looking for something when I saw a high waist short and a sleeveless string top. "I think these two will do.” I strip my clothes off and change them. I looked at the mirror and glanced at my reflection while biting my lower lip.
The yellow sleeveless string top made my cleavage visible right now. It was a V-shape front and fit my curves. It was squeezing my boobs together, making it look bigger. I tucked my top inside the high white waist short that I wore. I also changed my killer heels to a white converse shoe. Something was missing. I walked back to my closet and got the big loop earrings that I never used and wore. I also applied light makeup to finish my look. When I'm already satisfied, I decided to get out of my bedroom to face Gin.
I saw him silently sitting on my couch, so I called his attention. "Is this okay, Señorito?" I said while giving him a bored look.
He gave me a satisfied grin this time. "You're so sexy, baby."
I just rolled my eyes at him and started walking towards the door.
"Tsk! Let's go, ” I said as I opened the door.
"Okay! We're going to use Hevn as your name today, ” he said, grinning, and then followed me.
"Yes, Señorito!" I said with a sarcastic tone while rolling my eyes.
"Thank you so much, Hevn. I owe you this time, ” he said, laughing, and then we started walking out of the apartment.

Mall...
My forehead creased when I looked at where we were. "Why are we here? There is a mall closer to my apartment. Why not there?" I asked, confused.
Actually, we already passed by two malls a while ago. And now we were here in SM.
"I know that she will also buy groceries today. And we—she always buys her groceries here, ” he said and got a mistake when he said 'we.’ I heard that. He changed 'we' to 'she.' hmm...
"OH! Okay! You're the boss, ” I said, shrugging it.
We were still inside his car, trying to find a parking space. While we were looking for parking space, I suddenly saw Fritze close to the parking space that we saw. Maybe she was going to shop, or perhaps she was on a date?
I looked at Gin, and I saw him also looking in Fritze's direction with a sad expression. I smelled something fishy.
"Let's park here, Hevn. I'll go out first, and then I'll open the door for you. Kiss me on the cheek after you go out, ” he said in a rush.
What? Am I going to kiss him on the cheek? Aww. A free kiss from Gin then. Yay!
"I don't want to. You're lucky if I kiss you, ” I said, teasing him. He snorted playfully.
"I'll kiss your hand then. Is that okay? You're the one who's lucky because a handsome guy like me kisses you, ” he said while winking at me. I faked vomit because of what he said
" You wish—"
"Ugh! Don't be too picky, okay?
He cut me off and then laughed as he made his way out of the car. He turned towards my side and opened the door of the vehicle. He took my hand to help me get out of the vehicle, and the next thing that he did catch me off guard.
He kissed my forehead!
"Don't move, Hevn. She's looking at us, ” he said, looking at me in the eyes. I just stood in front of him dumbfounded.
I simply glanced at Fritze, and there I saw her standing nearby, looking at us with a confused and hurt expression. Gin, on the other hand, also tried to sneak a peek of Fritze's face, but she already turned around and hurriedly walked inside the mall.
I think I already know who he was trying to make jealous.
I looked at Gin with slitting eyes and punched his arm hard.
"What the fck was that for?" He winced in pain while rubbing his arm.
"You kiss me, and that was not the plan!" I said, trying to punch his arm again. He just gave me a childish smile.
"Sorry! I just got carried away, ” he said while trying to dodge my punch. I sneered at him more.
"Is it her?" I asked him directly.
"What?" he asked with a confused expression.
I rolled my eyes at him. "I'm asking if it is Fritze, ” I asked again while raising my brow."
He looked at me, bewildered. As if asking why I knew her.
He sighed, defeated. I am right.
"Yeah, ” he answered while smiling sourly. "How did you know her?" he asked curiously.
"It's a long story. I'll tell you next time. For now, let's talk about the plan while we're eating. I think our first move is havey!" I said cheerfully and then started to walked going inside the mall. Gin followed and then walked beside me.
" Havey? " he asked confusedly.
What? He didn’t know about the word havey?" What specific planet was Gin came from? I just shook my head. I didn't want to explain. Period.
"Ugh! Nothing. Let's go. I'm famished." I said and then grabbed his arm and walked fast, dragging him with me inside the mall.
***
Gin and I agreed to eat in a seafood restaurant—our favorite, of course. We were talking about the plan while waiting for our bill.
"So, are you okay with our plan? I know it will work, ” Gin said, grinning like a kid.
"Yeah. I think it will work. So let's go?" I said and then stood up. I saw the waiter walking towards our table and handed the bill. Gin took it and looked at the amount, and then I saw him put some bills and give them back to the waiter. He stood up, face me, and then glanced at his watch.
"She's going to buy groceries right now. Let's go there and buy the ingredients for the cake, too,” he said, looking at me like he was sure of what he was saying. I raised my brow to him. He knew what time she was buying her groceries, huh?
"Stalker, ” I teased him while grinning.
"I'm not, ” he said. "We just usually do it together in the past, ” He added, shrugging, and then he offered his hand to me. I reached it right away, and we held hands while walking out of the restaurant.
Well, the first list on the plan. HHWW. Holding hands while walking.
I hope this would work and they would be okay. I could see that Gin was still madly in love with Fritze.
