Deceitful Souls: Unveiling Betrayal, love and the Hunt for Justice

Chapter 3: Gifts and drunken mishaps

Vivian's POV
It's 11 am the next morning and I met with Blake last night. Shit I didn't know how much I missed him, I think I even felt something again. I kind of wish he had stayed the night but after we got close he started acting weird so I just let him go home. Hopefully he texts me sooner rather than later, I didn't mean to piss him off but he said he needs a couple days to think. Screw it I'm gonna text him.
<text message>
Me: Hey
Blake: Hmm
Me: Good morning sleepyhead, shouldn't you be up for morning patrols?
Blake: no I stopped doing them a while ago, but I'll do night patrols with you if you'll let me sleep right now, I have a headache Viv.
Me: okay fine, talk later bye
Blake: bye
>end of text message<
Well someone's tired. I wonder what he did after he left last night? Maybe I should go and check on him... No he said he needs time to think about it so I'll give him space. I'll just go check on him later. Maybe I'll go buy him something later to make him feel better after last night.

Blakes POV
It was 8 in the morning when Vivian texted me, I was half asleep. It's now 11 am and I just woke up. I couldn't process at the time when she texted, I was enjoying my sleep when I heard the vibration of my phone. And now I invited her to night patrol with me. What the fuck was I thinking after last night, being close to her made my old feelings resurface and I wanted to avoid this. I really should stop drinking before I sleep, it complicates things for me in the morning. Besides the hangover that I have now, I don't need massive anxiety as well.
*couple of hours later*
I have about a hour till my patrol with Vivian and I'm still kind of anxious after last night. It took a few minutes of debate but I decided to go walk around before meeting with Vivian. Suddenly I get a text from Vivian saying to meet her outside the outlet mall in a hour but I'm not doing anything so I might as well head that way early. I get to the mall around 6:30pm and I hear Christmas music outside, it's barely December 8th, everything's decorated with tinsel. I start to walk around when I see Vivian talking to some guy so I hide hoping she didn't see me. Truthfully it bothered me seeing her laughing with him. Who the hell is this guy. Wait hold on am I really jealous of this guy, I don't even know him? My thoughts start to get dark at the thought of Vivian with someone else. I was too busy staring at them that I didn't even notice the grip I had on my sleeve was turning my knuckles white. Just then I see her turn to look at me, I immediately fake a smile to try and hide the jealousy wanting to seep through. I release my jacket sleeve as I start to walk over. I see her put something in her pocket as the guy leaves. "Hey, sorry I'm here a bit early, did I interrupt something?" I say with a fake smile hoping she'll say no. "Oh it's fine , I was just looking around at the decorations and you didn't interrupt anything, that was no one Blake" she says reassuring me. "I actually have something for you, to make up for getting you upset the other night" she says to me pulling out a small box, so that's what she put in her pocket. She hands it to me and I open it to find a bracelet with a sun charm on it. "I wanted you to have a reminder that I'm here for you, and as long as you have this sun it'll remind you there's always a reason to be happy" Vivian says smiling at me. "Oh wow, Viv I love it thank you" I say hugging her wishing we could stay like this but I remember we have patrol in a few minutes. "Hey we should start heading to the park, it's getting dark and we have patrol tonight remember?" She says pulling away from the hug. "Yeah we should start going" I say wanting to say let's not go but I have to so I start following her to the park dreading spending all night with her because right now I feel like punching something.

Vivian's POV
I notice it starts to thunder a little up ahead so I grab Blake's hand hoping it'll remind him of the bracelet on his wrist and calm him down. I don't know what's wrong but it might be because of the other night so I'll try to cheer him up or something. Just as we get to the park I see a fountain. I run over to it making a penguin because I know that's his favorite animal. I see him smile at me and I smile at the fact I helped him feel better. "It's getting dark, I know we're close to your house but should we go under that tree for patrol tonight?" I ask him "yeah, I brought a jacket since I figured we'd be at the park" he says getting them out from his backpack full of snacks. God he's such a Boy Scout. How the fuck did a villain produce this ray of sunshine. "Your new nickname is sunshine" I tell him as I look at the backpack, he looks at me annoyed as he says "I prefer my old nickname" of course he would "you mean 'storm cloud'" I say laughing a bit, he says yes as he gets up to walk toward his house but he's not laughing. "Okay seriously Blake are we gonna talk about the other night and the fact we had a moment? Because I know it wasn't just me that felt it." I see him freeze in place like he's thinking about what to say. "Blake I get it if you hate me for not being here, but I'm here now. You can't ignore the fact we had a moment anymore than I can. Fucking turn arou-" I get cut off for once by him grabbing my face really closely and I freeze. What the fuck do I do. He's not moving, we're inches away and he's not moving.
  /Time skip 2 hours\
It's 7:40, he stops kissing me and suggests we walk to the "Blue lagoon bar" across the street. I agree because we haven't seen much crime in the past few hours, we get to the bar and I order us a couple drinks. By a couple drinks I mean a whole round because I figured if there's anything we need right now it's a break. Plus the cops can handle keeping the city safe from me this one time right?

//a few drink filled hours later\\

Blake's POV
I wake up in my room and see the clock 3:00am. But something's different, I feel something or someone next to me. As I start to panic I hear a familiar voice mumble something like "go back to sleep" and feel an arm. I panic more as I realize the voice belongs to Vivian. How the fuck did we get here?! Shit I don't remember anything after we went to get drinks. I blink as I realize something and check the blanket. Thank god we're wearing the same clothes from a few hours ago. I sigh in relief and turn to see Vivian asleep, I look at her till I see something. There's a couple marks on her neck, Shit did I do that? I know I can't move or she'll wake up so I decide to just go back to sleep and deal with it in the morning.
