VAUGHN
I look at her shocked as she clears her throat."I know this is a lot to put on you right now.So if you need-".

"What about Banks?".

Lake frowns and says "For him to do that to his own brother.Especially a brother who has been working nonstop on that painting..you're right I don't know him at all.I just like the idea of him",

"It was me that night"I confess.
"What?".

"The one who saved you from getting hit by that trunk.It was me.i was walking back from the party to my dorm when I saw a woman about to fall in the road.Into oncoming traffic".

Lake freezes and says "Why did you let me think it was Banks".

"Because you have this idea of my brother in your mind.And I didn't want you to be crushed when you realized it wasn't true".

"But it wasn't true.That was you that night.And That story about freshman year"."The moment I fell head over heels for you".

Her eyes soften as an idea pops in my head."Let's keep fake dating Little Ruin"."But it doesn't matter to make Banks jealous"she says.

"It won't be for Banks to get Jealous so he can be with you.Its for him to finally feel that he didn't win this one.That he didn't take you from me".

Lake tilts her head."As long as we..test whatever this is between us.I agree".I nod my head and say "Sure.Whatever you want".

Lake steps up and says "Can I come inside?".She flutter her eyes at me and I feel my legs go weak.

"I can't.I mean it isn't clean"."That's fine".

"I had a mental breakdown and there are a lot of things aren't clean-"."-Then I'll help you clean it".

"That really isn't needed-".She cups my face and says "I want to see the mind of a genius Painter.I want to get to know you better.So let me in,Vaughn".

"It could be dark and twisted".Lake smirks and says "I had a crush on your brother.I think dark and twisted might be my type now".

I stare at her shocked as she grabs my hand and pulls me in my studio.i close the door and she looks around shocked.

"Vaughn"she says sadly.

It seems I was a little more dark and twisted than she thought."I can tell how angry you were".

"I wasn't angry.I was disappointed in myself.Maybe it was fate I didn't have that painting in that gallery.Maybe something better will come around.But I hate that move than anything.Not knowing what the future holds"I say.

She walks over to one of my painting and stares at it."What is it?".

It was a picture of a guy holding an umbrella for a woman before her attention was towards the guy in front of her.

"Unrequited love".

She stares at me with an emotion I can figure out.I don't know if it was sadness or content.

"Was this based on the three of us?".I nod my head and she looks away.

"Let's start cleaning this place up".

LAKE

It took almost all night for us to clean this place up.The second we are done I collapse on the sofa.i wipe my forehead as he hands me a water.

"Thank you".

He nods his head and walks over to the couch across from me."What does sex mean to you?"I ask.

I was expected two things.But maybe he could surprise me.Vaughn was an artist thick and through.His mind worked like an artist as well as his heart.

"The exploration of each other.mind,body and soul.A union of two clashing forces overtaken by lust,desire and love".he says calmly.

My mind goes back to that same question I asked Banks in the closet at the Founders ball.His answer was completely different.

'Sliding my cock in the prettiest girl and making her realize how much she belongs to me'

Why did I not get red flags from that answer before???

"You never explored my body"I explain.

A cockily smile appears on his face and says "I was too focused on lust to do so.I had dreamed of that moment since the last time.And I dream about the future times as well".

My eyes widen and I stand up.I walk over to him and straddle his thighs as he grips my waist.

"Did the woman ever see him again?"I ask.

He looks at my confused as I cup his face."In the painting.After she ran to chase after the one she thought she loved.Did she see the guy that was holding the umbrella for her again?".

He stares into my eyes and I ask "Did he give her another chance?".

He blinks a couple of times before standing up.He carries me into his bedroom and I though he was going to lay me on the bed.

But instead he Carries me to the bathroom.He sits me down on the counter and says "Close your eyes".

"Vaughn what are-"."-Just close your eyes please".

I sigh and close my eyes.I hear a lot of movement from him before there's silence.

"You can open your eyes now".

I open my eyes and look at him."I don't understand what-".

I freeze once I get to his eyes.They weren't their usual dark green.Instead they were the prettiest shade of light green that I've ever seen.It was brown specks surrounding the iris.

I cup his face and stare into them."Are these??Contacts?".

Vaughn shakes his head and says "I've been wearing contacts since I was in the 4th grade"."What why?Your eyes their..their beautiful.Ive never seen a shade like this".

"Apparently my mother's great grandfather had this very eye color"."Why did you hide them".

He looks at me and says "Banks hated them.Especially when he realized that I would get all the attention.Im sure the only person who remember I actually have this eye color is my mother.She bought me these contacts.I told my father that my eye just changed color".

"I can't..I can't stop looking at them.I mean your were beautiful before but fuck".

He smiles as I plant a soft kiss on each of his eyelids."I'm beautiful?"he asks.

"You were always beautiful Vaughn.Despite your brothers looks you were one the hottest guys at Callister.Every art student had a crush on you.I just didn't see it at first.My mind was always to the jocks.I didn't even think that you were a option".

"Until now".

He nods his head and picks me up carrying me back to the common area.

"I still think it's cool that your art studio has a bedroom and bathroom"."Yea I got lucky on calling dibs on this one.Its cool right?".

I nod my head and he looks at the clock."It's getting late.I should walk you back to your dorm"."Or".

He looks at me and says"Or?"."Or I can spend the night tonight".

"You want to?".I nod my head and his face brightens.

Fuck I like it that happens.

I don't know when I just started becoming infatuated with making Vaughn smile.But I found myself wanting to see it all the time.
