Spencer’s POV:
Vivian was stunned for a moment.
Then, she shut the door, leaned toward me, and looked into my eyes.
"Spencer, do you not take me seriously because you’re sure that I have feelings for you?"
Her eyes glinted with affection, which made it difficult for me to maintain a neutral expression.I
loosened my grip on her and leaned back.I cleared my throat, hoping that she wouldn’t see through the
cool facade I was trying to keep up.
"Please help me come up with a plan to get Charles here."
"You and Charles have been friends for so long.If anybody can get him here, it’s you,"
Vivian replied, opened the door, and got out.
It was still raining outside.
When I was about to get out of the car and catch up with her, she had already rushed into the bar and
made a gesture of contempt at me.I couldn’t help laughing and mumbling, "So childish."
A beeping phone stopped me before I could venture out into the rain, but it wasn’t mine.
I looked around and found Vivian’s phone wedged between my leg and the seat.
She must’ve dropped it on her way out.
There was a new message from Steven.
I picked up the phone and stared at the message notification, jealousy gnawing at my insides like a
hungry rat.
Damn it! I wanted to block Steven from Vivian’s phone, but her phone was locked and I didn’t know
how to unlock it.
"Spencer? What are you doing? Give me back my phone," Vivian called from outside the car.
I got out of the car and walked over to her.
She tried to share her umbrella with me, but the rain just pounded us both ruthlessly.
"Wow.Can’t you hold an umbrella properly?"
I teased and took the umbrella from her.I put my arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to my
body.
Vivian looked up at me but didn’t say anything.
The moment we were out of the rain and under the bar’s eaves, she shook off my arm.
She didn’t look angry.She just looked like an annoyed spoiled brat.
"You didn’t need to hug me like that, you know? And I’m not single anymore, okay? What, do you want
to be the other guy?" She asked the question loudly enough to embarrass me in front of whoever was
within earshot.
"Vivian!"
Vivian was not afraid of me at all.She just rolled her eyes at me and walked into the bar.
I folded the umbrella and left it at the door. I followed her and asked .
don’t you want your phone? Vivian stopped immediately, faced me, and extended her hand.
I took out her phone and handed it to her, but when she was about to yet withdrew my hand.
Vivian knitted her brows.I smiled wickedly.
"I won’t give it to you "
"Spencer! You are so childish!"
Vivian pounced on Me and began trying to get her phone back by force.
"Give me back my phone! What if my boyfriend calls? I need to ho’ Alp to answer him!"
Heanng this, I gritted my teeth and put Vivian’s phone further away from her reach.I strode back to my
room with Vivian on my heels.
When I was about to close the door, she stuck her hand through the crack and grabbed my sleeve.
Worried that I might hurt her, I let go of the door and let her squeeze in.
I grinned at her, hoping it was enough to hide the crippling jealousy that I was feeling.
"Weren’t you afraid of hurting your hand? Is your boyfriend really that important?"
"It’s none of your damn business!"
Vivian raised her chin, reached out her hand, and aggressively tried to grab her phone from me.
I stepped back quickly, but I slipped and fell on the bed.
Before I could regain footing, Vivian hurled herself at me, straddled my hips, and tried to get her phone.
I stretched out my arm far above my head to keep her from reaching it.
After a few moments, Vivian started panting.
She was starting to wear herself out.
"Spencer!" she growled and stared at me.
The next moment, our gazes met.
I saw surprise in Vivian’s eyes.
Then, I felt the annoyance and anger drain away from her slowly.I sat up, and Vivian adjusted her
position to get on my thighs.
We were close enough to share breath, and the sweet smell of her hair tingled my senses and caused
my heart to break into a full gallop.
Color blossomed in Vivian’s cheeks as I tucked a lock of hair behind her ear.I refused to make another
move.I was scared to death to wake up and find that it was only a dream.
Finally, Vivian leaned in and kissed me.
When our lips touched, the fragrance of her body engulfed me.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and went deeper and deeper, stripping me of any sort of
control over my body and my thoughts.
Gradually, her kiss moved along my jawline lind then to my ear.
She gently nibbled on my earlobe, and I almost went insane with ecstasy.
as I immersed myself in the incredible feeling, I heard in that sexy voice that could make me do
anything.
"Hold me, Spencer "
I wrapped an arm around her waist and held the bark of her head with my free hand.I kissed her back
with equal hunger and passion, and 1 enjoyed every moan she made against my mouth.I traced her
lower lip with my tongue and then stirked it hard.
And then suddenly, Vivian stopped and made a small sound that rostered to me as a sob.
She pushed me away and jumped off the bed.
I followed her with my eyes as I tried to catch my breath.
Her face was red, and her eyes were watery.
She looked as if she had just been ra✓r,hed, which only made my desire grow stronger.
Vivian smiled slyly and waved at me with her phone in her hand.
I honestly could:i remember when she was able to get her phone back.
"You are too young to play games me I stood up and approached her.
"What are you talking about?"
Vivian ran to the door before I could reach her, her face full of undisguised mockery talking about your
laughable tendency to fall into the honey trap.
God, you’re so easy.Bye.
Then, she shut the door and left.
Realizing’ what just happened, I sat back on the bed and buried my face in my hands.
I thought we were finally acknowledging our feelings for. each other, but as it turned ou’_.
Vivian just wanted her phone back.
But I could swear that while we were kissing, I feel something there.
But if she still had feelings for me, how could she fall for someone else? I tossed and turned in bed all
night.
The next morning, I knocked on Vivian’s door, only to find that she wasn’t in the room at all I took out
my phone and called her.
After waiting for a long time, the line was finally connected and Vivian’s voice came through.
"Spencer? What’s the matter?"
"Where are you?"
"I’m out shopping with my boyfriend.Talk to you later,"
Vivian said sweetly and then hung up I held my phone tightly until my knuckles turned white and my
palm trembled.
"Vivian."
Bitterness was starting to fray the last of my sanity.
Suddenly, my phone rang.
I was overjoyed, but when I saw Charles’s name on the screen, I felt like a balloon that just got popped
with a needle.
"Hey, Spencer.When are you coming back?"
I tried to hide my disappointment, but I couldn’t help sighing.
"Maybe a week from now."
"What’s wrong? You sound unhappy," Charles asked with concern, which startled me a little.
He rarely showed that he cared about others.
Setting aside my issues with Vivian and thinking about what was best for Charles, I closed my eves
and said as evenly as I could, "Charles, you need to come to Kitsap.You have to meet William."
