The best way to verify your feelings for someone is to see how jealous you get when he or she is close to someone right. But Vincent didn't think so as he felt a little strange when Charles asked for Jae Won's contact and also said how he could get in contact with him now. Vincent tried how to call this feeling rising at the pit of his stomach.
Since Vincent couldn't understand what he was feeling right now but all he knows is to get Charles out of the way. "I think is time we sleep now" Vincent said clearly throwing Charles out in a gentle but brutal way. Jae Won turned to glare at Vincent quickly with what the fuck is wrong with you look on his face the moment he said it's sleeping time. 'How so' Jae Won thought as he looked up to check the time which was now 9pm in the evening. It's still early for them.
Charles didn't care now he has gotten Jae Won's contact. He didn't put much thought to what just happened. Charles happily went out of Vincent's room smiling so broadly as if he has just won a lottery. After Charles left, Jae Won strode toward Vincent "what just happened now. Why did you ask him to leave? it's not even time yet" Jae Won asked.
Vincent pouted sitting on the bed like a child who has just been scolded by his their mum for eating the ice cream they were clearly warn not to touch. That's exactly what Vincent was doing. "It felt weird" Vincent said. Jae Won who was lost with words just shook his head with there is something wrong with your head. "Whatever, I'm gonna go wash myself" Jae Won entered the bathroom to rinse himself.
He came back after a few minutes only to be met with four messages from Charles who was just next door neighbor. He replied with what happened emoji to the messages
Charles: "hi hello"
Charles: "Testing the microphone before use"
Charles: "can I text you at any time"
Charles: "or can you tell me what time to text or call".
These were the messages sent by Charles to Jae Won clearly indicating the childishness of Charles.
Jae Won: "did you have to text me? You could aske me tomorrow" he replied only one to Charles's many text.
Charles: "you will still be sleeping by the time I will be leaving".
Jae Won: with a surprised emoji beginning before the actual message "whatever, just text me anytime, I will reply you as long as I'm not busy. Good night".
He ended the chat and turned to the kid still pouting for being ignored by his friend as he thought. "Who was that" Vincent asked with curiosity staring at Jae Won as if he would disappear if he move his gaze away a little. Jae Won sighed, shook his head as he took a 123 Twi book "it's Charles" he said as he lied down on the bed on his back while he opened the book to study without paying attention to child by his side.
"Really" Vincent asked but was still ignored. He went straight to the bathroom to take his shower.
On the other hand, Claudia is really pacing around in her room. She thought of going to ask for Charles's contact but she is so scared and shy. She kept encouraging herself to take the lead and in a few years, she will reap what she had sown as Charles would be her husband.
Claudia got the courage and came out of her room. She went straight towards the guest room with her face clearly showing nothing is stopping me now. She knocked softly on the door waiting for a reply but none. She waited for a second on knocked again. "Is he already asleep" she asked herself.
Meanwhile Charles was so happy with the text Jae Won replied to him and he clearly was out of reach. Charles started playing music on his phone while he danced confidently to it as if he has won the heart of Tifiti. A few minutes later, he heard a soft knock on his door, thinking maybe it's probably his ears deceiving him.
Charles paused his song and waited a while to verify if what he heard was truly a knock. And there it is, another knock but this time, a loud bang as if the door is been pushed down by BFI. Charles walked slowly to the door and edge opened the door quietly beeping his head outside "oh it's you" Charles said as he saw Claudia standing at the other side of the door.
Claudia looking pitiful nodded while Charles came out his room wondering what's wrong for her to show up to his room now. "Can I help you?" Charles asked as he waited for a while without any words coming out of her cute mouth. "You will be going to work tomorrow right?" Claudia asked looking at her Prince Charming lovingly.
"Yes I will be going to work" Charles responded waiting for her next question. "What is it?" Charles asked as he has waited for a few seconds but not question while she kept twirling her beautiful natural hair she looked up at Charles "can I get uuurm your number" she finally asked with a relief written all over her face. "Sure" Charles replied as he took Claudia's phone from her hand and put his number in it.
"Is that all" Charles asked as he looked down at Claudia as her face was beaming with smiles that could turn a vampire into a wolf. Well that's too much, isn't it?
Claudia thanked him and turned her back to walk to her room with smiles as she danced. She had wanted to go straight into her room but because of Charles, she stayed to get a glimpse of him when they were dancing. "My true love begins" Claudia said to herself as she quickly run to her room.
Gloria on the other hand had been texting Jae Won all day but has been ignored. Though Jae Won didn't intend to do that but as we can see, they have had a busy day. She tried one last time but she was ignored again as Jae Won has puthis phone on silent mode to not disturb him during his study.
"So are you still not gonna talk to me" Vincent asked as he moved closer to Jae Won but was smacked on his hand that was about to be wrapped around him. "You better stay where you are" he said to Vincent whose hand was hanged in the air. This went on for a while as they fought like lovers. As if one is denying one his or her good night kiss. This went for a while till one gave in and they slept off.
It's 5am now and Charles had to go for work. He didn't get to sleep much but to him, it was worth it and will do it again if he get the chance. He took his phone and texted Jae Won "See you later sunshine" with a feeling good emoji attached to it. The moment Charles walked to Vincent door, it opened scaring Charles so much. "Do you usually wakes up this time" Charles asked looking so surprised. "Why, is it so weird if I wake up this time? And yeah this is normally the time I wake up" he responded as they walked side by side.
"Where are you going" Charles asked as he had been curious as to why Vincent would walk with him from upstairs to down the living room and almost at their parking lot. "I came down to escort you to your car" he said which made Charles burst out laughing so hard.
"Am i a celebrity to be escorted to my car" he said as he opened his car and sat down. Charles opened his mouth as he wanted to ask about what he saw between them during the dance but he stopped himself before anything happened "See you next time I'm free" he said as he closed the door of his car. Vincent signaled the security guard to to open the gate for Charles. "Take care while you work" he said as he waved at him.
Five days later and Vincent still makes Jae Won's heart flutter every now and then. Jae Won had be pestering Vincent for the few days on when his friend Akwasi would be coming. Vincent on the other hand now is reluctant to invite his friend over again. The more he thinks Jae Won might like his friend the more he didn't like that feeling he can't put his finger on it.
Vincent felt a stare as he was browsing on the internet. He raise his head only to be met with Jae Won's gaze that almost scared his soul out of his body. "What?" Vincent asked. Jae Won walked slowly towards Vincent "hasn't he called yet" he asked. With a confused look he asked "who?". This made Jae Won a little grumpy "I meant your friend, hasn't he called yet?" he said while he moved a little closer to Vincent to take his phone to check it out as if Vincent doesn't have eyes.
"Relax he will call to tell when he will be ready. He is a bus…" but he was cut short by a notification from his phone
"Is that him?" Jae Won asked, curiosity in his eyes.
Vincent: "...."
