Viva's Pov
I left my pod pretty early today because I wanna spend as much time as I can with Branch. I want to spend a night with him but I don't want to push him so much. The last time I did it , he ended up avoiding me. I need to take this slow if I don't want to loose him. I haven't seen Clay since our talk the other night , but I hope he's okay.
I knocked on Branch's door and he opened it. It looks like he just woke up. He is still in his robe and his hair are messy. He is so silly.
"Morning Branchie."
"Morning Viva."he said "Come in."
When we came down the elevator, I hugged him and I started kissing him. At first he wasn't kissing back, but then he responded.
Branch's Pov
When we came down the elevator, Viva started kissing me. I couldn't kiss back at first, because she is not Poppy. But I can't be the one who is responsible for the revelation of our secret , so I started kissing back. Viva then became more aggressive and she tried to take off my robe , but I stopped her. 
"Viva we can't do this right now , my brothers are here." 
"I'm sorry Branch. I didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable."
"No it's okay. Don't feel bad."
I came closer to her and I hugged her.She felt better and she kissed my cheek.
Then suddenly someone knocked on the door again. Hopefully, it's not Poppy. When I opened it , I saw Lagoona, the techno troll , and I told her to come in.
Viva's Pov 
I don't like this Lagoona girl. She said that she wanted Branch's advice for a project she is working on , but I don't buy it. She clearly tries to flirt with him. Then she finally left.
"Are you okay , Viva."he asked me 
"Yeah , I'm great." I said codly 
"You're jealous."
"Yes , I am. Okay ?"
"Don't worry. She is just a friend." He said and he hugged me once again.
Poppy's Pov
I was heading to Branch's bunker, when I saw Viva standing on the door. I hid behind a bush and I was waiting. Then Lagoona showed up and knocked on Branch's door. What does Lagoona want here? Maybe another "advice for a project". I don't buy it. She is clearly in love with him. I'm gonna kill him later.
When Lagoona left and Viva , a bit later, I entered his bunker and when he saw me he started laughing.
"What's so funny?" I said annoyed
"Your face."he laughed "What happened?"
"I saw Lagoona and Viva in here."
"You know that I can't do something about Viva. As for Lagoona, she wanted my help with a project of hers."
I knew it.
"Even though this is the fourth time she wants my help with the same project." He added in confusion 
I knew that too.
I was facing the ground until he came closer and grabbed my waist and pulled me close to him. 
"Are you jealous ?"
"No." 
"You're a terrible liar, Poppy."
"Okay , I am . A little bit." I said and he laughed. I love it when he's doing that.
"You're dating Viva and I have no idea what are you two doing and now Lagoona shows up out of nowhere."
