It's been 4 days since that night. Vivaan was going through the corridor of the school while his mind was still trapped with Leo. He was still thinking about that night and how their talks suddenly stopped that night. Leo tried to call him and messaged him but he didn't know how to handle this situation and ended up blocking him instead, which was not a good idea at all.
He entered his class only to see Alessa already on the seat with her bag on the other one, saving it for Vivaan. He went to her and sat on the other side.
"Hey Viv" Alessa beamed with happiness
"Hi, Lisa. You seem happy." He asked seeing her happier than usual.
Alessa giggled happy at the fact that her friend noticed her happiness without even her speaking a word "I learned cake baking yesterday night and decided to make it today for everyone." She exclaimed with happiness.
"Oh but everyone won't be there. Right?" He asked eager to know about Leo's whereabouts.
Alessa furrowed her brows "No....... I ordered everyone to be at home by 5 in the evening." She said proudly flaunting the fact that she rules over those intimidating men whose presence alone is enough to scare people out.
"It means Leo would be there." Vivaan thought "But why am I thinking about him? What is going on Vivaan? What are these feelings?" He thought as he put his hand on the table in front of him thinking why it was all affecting him.
Soon, the classes were over and it was lunch break when Vivaan walked out with Alessa as they were joined by Leo and Noah's friends at the canteen while Ethan was busy with his friends.
"Where is Niall?" Alessa asked noticing the funniest one among them absent at the table which was a rare occurrence.
"On a date," Xavi said putting a pizza slice in both Alessa and Vivaan's plates which they were used to till now.
"That too on a serious one." Sam laughed and stole one piece of pizza from Xavi's plate.
"Serious one?" Vivaan exclaimed.
"Yes, he said that he seriously fell for this girl."
Vivaan furrowed his brows not knowing how can a playboy seriously fell for someone.
"I am also confused just like you Vivaan. I don't know how people fell for others. And how do they know it's genuine and not just attraction." Sam said as his forehead vein popped showing him brainstorming.
"I will answer that," Niall said coming from behind with a girl who had green eyes ,pale skin, and brown hair while she carried a beautiful smile
"Meet Olivia." He said taking a seat as the green-eyed beauty waved her hand making others greet her too.
"How love feels?" Alessa asked as she was always intrigued by this word curious to know if she would ever experience it.
And a chuckle was heard which was of none other than Niall "It makes you feel safe." He said and his voice was somewhat different as that goofy Niall was lost and in front of them was a mature Niall "It makes you crave them. You just find a reason to be with them."
"How do you know it's not an attraction," Xavi asked confused
"Because attraction doesn't make you worry for the well-being of the other one. In attraction, you crave their attention but in love, you crave their presence. When your sleepless nights have only their thought, your busy day has their thoughts or your heart dies to just one glimpse of him, then you realize it's much more than a mere attraction and is Love." Olivia said as Niall put his hand around her kissing her forehead.
And this action of Niall shocked everyone. He was a boy who keeps on sucking a woman's mouth but seeing him being gentle was somewhat shocking to everyone.
Vivaan listened to them carefully and realized that whatever they said was what he felt like with Leo. He feels safe with him, he feels complete and he craves him every second. And even in these past days when they were away from each other he always craved him .
"Am I in love with him?" He questioned himself as a smile adorned his face but fear of rejection hit him hard.
But he was not someone to step back due to fear. At least for once he will try his luck. He instantly looked at Alessa.
"Can I visit your home after school today?" He asked with an enthusiasm of seeing him after so many days as his heart was racing.
"Of course. I'd love it." She clapped in excitement as Vivaan's thought went to how he was going to tell Leo about what he felt.
One thing he was sure of was that his feelings were not one-sided, especially after that incident of them almost kissing in the park and now he was ready to take step further. He was ready to put his insecurities aside and engulf the love coming his way as a shiver ran through his spine in sheer excitement.
"I am coming, Leo. I hope my feelings were not just one-sided and you also feel the same for me." He thought rubbing his palms together excited to see him after that eventful night.
Leo was in the basement of their mansion torturing a man. He thrashed the man and punched him to get some information about the letter they got regarding their sister's kidnapping but man in front of him already spilled everything and now he had nothing to say but Leo wasn't satisfied. Or maybe he was taking out his frustration of getting blocked on the man in front of him.
He gave him a hard last punch on his face as he lost consciousness and Leo kicked him on his chest making him fall on the floor with his chair.
He took a cloth and wiped his hand as he walked up to take a shower in his room and rest for the day.
"You seem angry at some other thing." Noah was walking beside him while he ignored him completely.
"It's nothing." He said skipping some steps to avoid his brother's question
"You feel different Leo."Noah said making Leo stop on his step as he turned back "You look gentle. You radiate a gentle energy instead of that mad bull which you used to radiate usually." Noah admitted the change he witnessed in his brother "Are you hiding something from me?" He asked his twin.
Leo shook his head as he climbed stairs "You will know when the time is right." He said as he disappeared leaving Noah there contemplating on the situation his twin was going through.
Leo entered his room and washed his hands first. He walked towards the shower while discarding his clothes in the process. He threw his clothes in the laundry basket and stood under the shower letting the droplets wipe every tiredness from his body.
For the past few days, he didn't get comfortable sleep as his night was filled with Vivaan only. He cursed himself every day to initiate the kiss which broke the beautiful friendship they were sharing. He wanted to reverse the time and be with him without any awkwardness.
That night he called Viv but on getting no answer he decided to give him some time. But after, he realized that he blocked him already. And his strength was gone now. Only the fact that he might also have feelings was pushing him forward in life but he lost that also. And all these past days, he only imagined hugging him, kissing him, making love with him, being with him, and spending this whole life with him.
He imagined Vivaan in front of him as his hand traveled to his face and he rubbed his face smiling. He was imagining him smiling, his aroused face when they were about to kiss as his face went red with blush.
"I love you Viv" He confessed as he already realized it long ago.
He jerked back when he felt a hand sliding through his waist. He turned back to see a blonde girl in a short black-red dress standing with him in the shower.
"Who the hell are you?" He shouted, "Get out." He said pushing her.
"Sir, but you called me here." The girl said in a shivering voice hearing his threatening voice.
"You bitch who called you"
"Diego Romano." She stuttered out.
Leo messed his hair as he tied a towel around his waist "His room is on the other side and not this." He shouted as the girl fumbled in her steps and ran out of the room while Leo ruffled his head, rubbing the spot where she touched him.
Just when he heard a loud sound of Alessa "Vivaan"
