Am I crazy? (✔)

1. Secret

Hope you like.

Unbelievable...

Rachelle's been bringing Vincent behind your parent's backs these past few days.

You sighed.

It's her problem. Not yours.

Right now you were face-down on your bed, hearing music while solving math problems. Your feet resting on your pillow.

Sometimes you'd hear loud laughter from downstairs. Rachelle exaggerating.

As you stared at an equation, your door surprisingly opened.

Your eyes widened.

Vincent came into view.

"Oh sorry. Was looking for the restroom." He chuckled nervously.

You gave him a small smile. "No worries." You pointed forward with your pencil. "We have two. The one behind you." You then pointed towards your right. "And the one at the end of the hall."

There are six rooms.

At the right side, your bedroom is located next to the stairs.

He smiled. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." You looked down and continued your work.

Instead of leaving as you thought he would, he leaned against your door frame. "What are you doing?"

"...Homework."

"On which class?"

"Math."

Why so intrigued?

"Do you need help?"

"No, I'm good. Just got confused in one-"

"Which? Let me have a look." He walked towards you and leaned looking at the equation.

"No, it's fine. I solved it already."

"Oh yeah? Show me."

You internally grunted.

As you pointed your written answer, he sat next to you. He carefully placed an arm over you, hand prompting on your bed by your side to support himself while trying to lean closer to look and listen to your explanation.

This sudden act took you by surprise.

He's getting TOO comfortable.

You explained quickly so he would leave. Once again...he foiled your plan.

"This topic is quite advanced...what grade are you in?"

"Senior year."

"Whoa! Really? You look so young!" He started laughing.

Hmmm...(Y/N)...why not get Intel from him?

"It's your first year in college right? Like Rachelle?"

Once he finished, his eyes were on you.

"No." He smiled. "I saw Rachelle around. We met and started talking in the food court. I'm already finishing. I work at a hospital."

This took you aback.

"Then what are you both studying together?"

"Studying? I'm tutoring her."

...

Soon you were consumed in laughter.

Your sister has to pay him for attention. Ahahaha!! That's so sad!

Your laughing fit lasted a while. You tried speaking but couldn't finish a word without giggling.

It finally died down when you noticed Vincent's closeness and intense gaze.

"You have such a beautiful laugh."

You cleared your throat. "Thank you."

Awkward silence.

"So..." You continued. "What are you working as?"

"A physician."

"Oh. That's nice."

"Thank you."

"...any siblings?..."

"A sister. What about you? Only Rachelle?"

"...Yeah"

"Are you in a relationship?"

Whoa..where did THAT come from?

"No. Haven't actually had one yet."

"Someone as amazing as you? I'm sure you have tons of admirers." His eyes wander to his arm over you, and they slowly start traveling your figure.

You cleared your throat. "Well, I wouldn't know. But I'm sure you have plenty."

"Yeah...but none of them interest me...however, there is one who keeps me intrigued."

"...well...good for you. I'll stick to my celebrity crush."

He chuckled. "You have a crush? And which celebrity might that be?"

"Zeke Gold."

"...Zeke who?"

Your eyes widened. "Zeke Gold! The BEST investigator EVER!!"

"Wait...isn't he a reporter?"

"Not JUST a reporter! He solves cases! He's AMAZING!!"

Vincent starts laughing. "Celebrity crushes are usually singers or actors, not reporters!"

"He's better than someone who just sings or acts!" You fist pump the air. "He's a hero!"

Vincent was dying of laughter.

You both got along quite well.

Your conversation continued until-

"Hey!!" Rachelle yelled downstairs. "(Y/N)! Don't disturb him! He's studying with ME!"

You rolled your eyes.

"My bad. Didn't mean to get you in trouble." He got up.

"No worries. You better get down there. She's very impatient."

"Okay. It was really nice talking to you. Hope it happens again." He walked towards your door and opened it.

"Oh!" You shouted before he could close.

"Yeah?"

"Don't forget to charge her."

His smile grew wide.
