Chapter 50: An Unwanted Topic Night’s P.O.V Kai and I sat across from Devon on the dining table while Landon served us all breakfast, before taking the seat next to Devon like the lovey-dovey couple they were. Kai and I followed the movement, awestruck. What the fuck was even going on? “Since when?” I found myself asking the two idiots who had managed to keep their relationship not only private, but completely non-existent until this point of time. And from the looks of it…they weren’t a new couple. “Two months.” Kai was the one to answer, much to my surprise. “You knew?” I turned towards him accusingly. “Since when?” “Last night.” He sighed, rubbing at his temples. “I called back when you hung up and it was Devon who answered. He told me last night that they have been together for the past two months.” I turned back towards the couple, who were quietly enjoying their breakfast like I wasn’t just on the verge of ripping out my best friend’s hair. “What the hell! I’m your best
Chapter 51: Misunderstandings Part 1Kai’s P.O.VWith the campus competition nearing, the student council room was a buzz of activities as the theme for the next photoshoot were being selected.Finally, after an hour of pondering, the theme selected was ‘prom’ and we didn’t really have any clothes to select since everyone would be bringing their prom dresses from high school, or just buying new ones…in case the old one didn’t fit.So far, from the online voting forum, three couples with the lowest scores had already been eliminated and now, only eight couples remained who would go on to the next round and once again, three would be eliminated until the last five couples went on stage for the final round, not only showing off their good looks, but their special talents as well.“Will you be singing this year too?” Tina asked me, without taking her eyes off the computer where she was busy typing away the theme for the next photoshoot so that the other contestants would be made aware of
Chapter 52: Misunderstandings Part 2Kai’s P.O.VNight’s eyes pierced right through me as he stood staring at me from across the road. And then, as I watched in horror, he simply turned and started striding away towards the men’s room right across from the Council building.“Shit.”“Is he gone? The boy in the hood? Is he still there?” Saya’s voice came right next to my ears and for I second, I had almost forgotten that she was in my arms…with the flowers in her hand, and to anyone who had witnessed the scene from afar, it would’ve looked like…I had been the one to give her those flowers…Double shit!“Kai? Kai? Is he gone?”“Huh?” I blinked, my eyes still glued to Night’s retreating back as I remained momentarily flabbergasted, unable to comprehend what was happening around me.“Is he gone?” Saya urged again, this time, using her finger to pinch my sides.“Ow…” Finally, coming back to my senses, I looked in the direction where the guy in the blue hood had been standing and found him go
Chapter 53: Y-GirlKai’s P.O.V“I am so, so sorry!” Saya apologized for the thousandth time as she sat across from us in the private booth of the restaurant where we had all decided to head for dinner.A men’s washroom hadn't exactly seemed like the best place to have this conversation that we were having right now.“If I had known you were already with someone, I wouldn’t have used you to drive him away! I swear!” Saya didn’t raise her head as she spoke, but when I saw her lips tremble, I knew I couldn’t let her wallow in guilt for something she had accidentally witnessed.“Night?” I turned towards Night who sat next to me, still looking a bit pissed, but now that he saw Saya with his own eyes and let her join us for dinner, I could tell that his anger was no more than a façade that he wanted to keep up, just because he didn’t want to be proven wrong.“So…tell me what really happened?” Night asked her directly, choosing to ignore me.I smirked, letting him have his moment. It was alr
Chapter 54: Returning HomeNight’s P.O.VI went into the washroom to sprinkle some water on my face as Kai had gone to drop Saya off to the bus stop, in case the creepy guy decided to show up all of a sudden.I may not admit it in front of Kai, at least not yet, but I did realize that I had judged him unfairly and that too because of who he was in the past.Of course, Kai was a major player. He had slept with women left, right and centre and never cared about a real relationship with anyone, not even Ruby. But Kai wasn’t the only one who had been into casual hookups and no-strings one-night stands.I had been just like him.But that all had changed the second our eyes met in that washroom, that night at the club when he had closed the door to protect our privacy. There had been something between us ever since, an unspoken connection that had passed between us from that very first eye contact, and no matter what, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that our connection was nothing ordinary
Chapter 1: Eyes off of YouKai’s P.O.VIf my best friend came up to me one day and told me he was gay…I’d probably be fine with it. I’d probably even support him…even though watching my friend with his ‘boyfriend’ in public might still be uncomfortable for me and it might even cause a strain on my relationship with him, no matter how progressive I try to be or how much the world has changed.I’d always been firm in my beliefs. I’d always believed I was meant to be who I was and I knew exactly who I liked.Trust me; I had nothing against the LGBTQ+ community, as long as they had nothing to do with me. I’d seen men kissing other men. I had seen girls getting down and dirty in the club. They had been a pleasant show. Especially when I watched two hot as hell women kiss each other in the club, it had low-key made me want to join them as well.But watching two men kiss each other like they were doing now? Watching them explore and touch? It had never really been my thing. Maybe because it
Chapter 2: Hello…Dorm-mate Kai’s P.O.V He raised his eyebrows questioningly and I realized I was standing completely still like an idiot as the elevator doors opened behind me. “Sorry.” I murmur under my breath while balancing Cole’s weight on my shoulders. But I must have underestimated his weight because the moment I turned to get into the elevator, I tripped over my own legs and almost went crashing down onto the floor. “Watch out!” The next thing I know, I’m being hauled up into a standing position with a hand on my waist as the man from earlier rushed in for my rescue. “Thanks.” My voice came out more of a whisper as I looked up at his face, meeting hazel eyes that looked more green than brown from this close. There were a few golden specks thrown in those orbs as well, but what I noticed most was just how handsome he was. His skin was all clear, a light golden in color that became even more prominent in the overhead light. “No worries,” his lips tilted up in a slight sm
Chapter 3: I’d do You Kai’s P.O.V “Hello there…dorm-mate.” I stared at his hand like it was some kind of a foreign object, before my eyes reached up to meet his. Dorm-mate? The man that I saw this evening in the club…hooking up with another man inside the washroom stall…was now going to be my…dorm-mate? “Did you wash your hands?” Fuck it, Kai! Did you wash your hands? Was that seriously the first fucking thing you could come up with? “Do you take a bubble bath every time you fuck a girl?” Night dropped his hand to his side but tilted his head to the side, giving me a narrow-eyed look. “N-no…” wow…that got awkward real quick. “Then why did you expect me to do that?” His eyebrows drew together wearily before he turned and carried his suitcase over to the other side of the room. “Move your stuff off the bed. I want mine.” “Take this side,” I went over to the bed closest to me and removed all the clothes that I had dumped on it before I went out to the club. “I prefer to stick c
