chapter twenty seven:

She was completely fine with kissing him
———

"Care to find out?"

Gorya's eyes widened. They were practically falling out of her head. She had never met someone that was as confident yet charming as Vinny. It was a bit alarming to her how okay she felt about the whole situation. She was intrigued by Vin and didn't mind kissing him. In the back of her head she thought of Thyme and felt conflicted about her feelings between the two boys. Nevertheless, she closed her eyes and was ready to welcome Vinny's lips to her own. She could feel his hot breath that was inches away from her face. All her mind could think about now was how he smelt — and she meant that in a nice way. He smelled like the fresh dew on a crisp morning with a small hint of a woody scent. Whatever fabric softener and cologne he used made his clothing smell heavenly. But the main thing that Vincent smelled like was strawberries. It was as if he himself was one. Gorya's thoughts came to a halt when she heard the boy let out a chuckle.

"I'm just joking with you," Vinny said backing away from her.

This was when she realized that this boy wasn't as normal as she had previously thought. He seemed completely confident and in control of the entire situation whilst Gorya was left a stuttering and flustered mess. The boy even had the audacity to continue making eye contact with her with his stupid, innocent-looking eyes.

"I wouldn't kiss you when you're dating someone else," Vincent said in a serious tone, "I respect you and Thyme too much for that,".

It took everything in Gorya to not explain to Vinny that she wasn't technically dating Thyme and that she was completely fine with kissing him.

Roselyn, Thyme's mother, was furious with her son. Recently he was acting completely out of character. The people she hired to watch over him reported that he was getting a little too close with a common girl. Not only that, but he seemed to have welcomed two new people into his inner-circle which was incredibly rare. Thyme hated making new friends. He found them difficult and didn't trust them therefore he never attempted to make more friends than those who he met as a child.

So when she continuously got reports about a guy and a girl constantly hanging out with her son and his three other friends she became suspicious. Roselyn did everything she could to try and discover who the two were but nothing seemed to be working the way she had planned. Her first thought was to take a photograph of them and run an image search but the girl always seemed to have sunglasses on and the boys face wasn't found in any database. She couldn't even come to the typical conclusion that the two were probably nobodies because their clothing was astronomically expensive. From the photos she saw they were always dressed in heel to toe with some sort of designer clothing or clothing made from rare and expensive fabric. She took note that the two must have generational wealth or they must be more mature than her son because their clothing had little to no logos.

The only thing Roselyn knew about the two was that they were both foreigners.

Thus, Roselyn made the executive decision to fly back to Thailand from Singapore in hopes of spotting the two of them and the other girl that hung around her son.

Luckily for Roselyn it didn't take long to meet the two new members of her sons friend group. An hour after she arrived she heard the door open and the noise level in the house increased.

Once she waited a while for them to all settle in the home she made her way to the room where they all sat. When she walked in she spotted her son sitting with Ren, and Kavin on a couch whilst MJ and the boy she didn't know sat at a corner table playing dominos.

"Thyme," Roselyn said in an affirmative voice. The members of F4 stiffened and greeted her in a respectful manner. All of them knew how strict Thymes mother was.

"Aren't you going to introduce me to your new... friend?"

Thyme nodded and reluctantly introduced the two, "Mother this is Vincent Genovese, Vincent this is my mother,". Vinny stood up and reached his hand out to give her a handshake.

Roselyn looked down at his hand and ignored it, "What do your parents do, Vincent?".

"Oh this is different response than what I get in Italy, normally I tell people my last name and they give me whatever I want, no questions asked," Vinny said in a joking tone. When he noticed the look of panic on Thymes face he sighed and decided to explain his situation in a more serious manner, "My family is known as one of the main founding families of the Italian Mafia, I assume you can kind of gauge everything else from there?".

Roselyn gave him a smile, "I see that you're a humorous boy!". Thyme looked at her like she had done insane. Her actions may have seemed strange to everyone else but they were entirely calculated. Vincent had passed her test. She knew damn well how powerful the Italian Mafia was just based off of stories she heard. Vincent was definitely a good companion for Thyme to keep around.

"Hey guys sorry I'm late! I caught every red light on my way over here," a voice called out as the door opened revealing Liliana.

Before Thyme could try to interject to introduce the two, Roselyn decided it would be better to question the girl herself, "and who might you be?" Roselyn asked in a stern manner.

Lia simply let out a lighthearted laugh. She could tell right away that the woman in front of her was Thyme's mother so she gave her a small bow in respect.

"I'm Liliana Nakamura, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance,".
