Brooke's POV

I woke up that day having a particularly pleasant feeling in my chest maybe it was because of that dream.

The dream where he kissed my forehead kyyyyaaaa! What is this feeling? my face feels hot

I touched my face "Seriously you are like a middle scholar having their first crush" I mumbled. But I didn't know then but the times I would see Lucius would lessen.

Four days have passed I was given the go sign to attend school So I left the house earlier and went to Marshal's house.

Ding~ dong~

"Who is it sooo early in the morning?" and out came a sleepy marshal in his pj's while rubbing his eyes.

"Nice robot print pj's" I said playfully. "Oh! Brooke I half believed that you might have died" said marshal as he turned and headed inside.

I just closed the door and went in. "How considerate of you marshal~" I said as I sat at the table while marshal was pouring a coffee.

"Make me one too" I said. "Pour it yourself" he said as he sat. "Stingy" I muttered as I poured myself one.

"Oh~ Brooke it's been a while since you visited" marshals mother said. "Ah! Auntie sorry about that I was busy myself" I said as I poured Amanda one.

Ananda Addams aka marshal's mother. She has been a mother figure to me since I could remember she was one of the few people I trusted with my life. And she has even said that she considers me her daughter regardless of my relationship with marshal which means a lot to me.

"Ah! Brooke. I heard from marshal that you went to attend a match in Connecticut" she said

"Yeah! I forgot to ask about that as well so~ how did you do?" he asked me. I'm sorry

"I got second, got cocky at the end. And here are the souvenirs" I said as I took them out.

"Thank you for these Brooke dear. Have you eaten breakfast yet? Let me make something for you real quick" she said.

"Thank you, auntie. I didn't eat anything and just came here as I missed auntie~~" I said.
"You are just the sweetest" she said as she made breakfast.

"Can you both stop I can't handle this on an empty stomach" marshal grumbled.

"Jealous" I muttered. "Sweet talker" he said.

We both went to school. Just then I saw Lucius getting out of his car.

It should be made illegal to be that hot and beautiful at the same time I thought staring at him.

"You're drooling" mother hen stated.

I immediately rose my hand to arm to wipe it off

"Mother hen!!" I smacked him.

"Whaaaaat~ you were drooling over him weren't you?" he said laughing. "what if I'm drooling over him everyone is so can't I?" I asked while being pissed.

"Brooklyn Burns! Are you accepting that you are a pervert?" he asked amused.

"Can't deny something that is true so~" I said smirking. "Have you no shame!!" mother hen said.

"Anyways I was staring not drooling" I stated. "Right~ of course" he said smugly.

"I wasn't!" I said. As we made our way to class just like this unaware of the eyes that are staring at us.

Lucius POV

I have been avoiding her for four days since....

Four days ago,

I woke up early and got ready for school. Images of her staring at the Sakura kept flashing in my head yesterday. I just planned to not think too much into it. I saw James staring at me.

I just got in the car when he asked "What was that last night?" he asked.

"What are mumbling on about?" I asked him. "You know clearly what I'm talking about or do you want a recap?" he asked me while showing me his phone.

On it was a picture of me sleeping on Brooke's lap with her playing with my hair. She played with my hair I smiled inadvertently.

"Hey! Earth to the leader of the Cerberus clan" James said waving his phone at my face I snapped out of it went to neutral expression.

"I was getting off work when I saw the garden light on so I went to see who it was I'm not saying anything but just remember that it is dangerous" he said. I know he is concerned.

And thus it began~

I woke as usual and went downstairs to eat breakfast when I was told that she had left earlier.

"Okay you go back to your duties now" I said. I drove myself today and I saw her she was talking with that kinda tall guy again.

I went out and I felt her staring at me but in what way I couldn't tell.

She went back to talking to him

She's smiling and even hitting him they much be every close "friends", I just ignored this feeling and went to class the rest of the day went by mostly with lab work.

I just went to the bar that I owned after classes finished to supervise its workings but as mostly everything was already taken into account by James I just drank.

When I got home it was 10:30pm already so I just freshen up and was about to go to bed when someone pounded on my door.

I saw James panting "What is it? Is one of our territories under attack?" I asked him.

"No, it's about Brooke I was about clock out when I heard the security guys talking about a dark haired girl and it seems that they didn't allow her in and she still hasn't come back yet" he said with a distressed look.

"What!! Its 11:00pm for Satan's sake have you checked the cctv cams or trace her location?" I asked as I put on a shirt and pant.

"Cole is on it but she was wearing a hoodie so it's a bit difficult and her phone is untraceable" he said.

"Frick! I will look nearby you keep looking at the footage" I said and left.

I went around our block, got out of the car to be more through

She could just be at that guy's house or she could have even gone to her own apartment what am I even doing here? I thought with a hand on my head.

I passed by a seven eleven when I saw something. I came back and saw her eating cup noodles while wearing her hoodie and earphones on.

I don't know why but I feel a bit relieved to see that she's not in any danger but mad that she didn't tell me where she was.

"Here I'm running around the streets looking for her while she is in there slurping on her noodles not even noticing that I'm in front of her" I muttered while looking at her.

She looked up as if she heard me and waved with her chopsticks while still eating her noodles.

Dear Loki laufey!! I just smiled and looked at her shaking my head.

Satan maybe I'm inlove......
