The bass from nightclub echoed faintly as Vanessa leaned over the sink, letting the water run over her fingers.The lighting cast shadows across the mirror, her reflection staring back at her.Just as she reached for napkin, the door creaked open.

She barely had time to register the familiar scent of cologne before the door shut behind her with a quiet click.

Vanessa's breath hitched as she turned, finding Eiden leaning against the door, his hands in his pockets, but the look in his eyes was relaxed."What the hell are you doing?"she demanded, crossing her arms.Eiden took a step forward, tilting head. "You humiliated me out there." His voice was low, but there was an unmistakable edge to it.

Vanessa scoffed. "Oh,poor Eiden.Can dish it out but can't take it?"Eiden chuckled,lacked humor.Another step forward. "You think you're funny, huh?"Vanessa refused to back away,heart pounding."No, I know I am."A smirk tugged at Eiden's lips. "You enjoy this, don't you? Pushing me? Testing how far you can go?"Vanessa swallowed. "I should be asking you that.You locked the door."Eiden raised a brow. "And yet, you haven't told me to unlock it."Vanessa's jaw clenched,refusing to be the first to break."Move."He didn't.Instead, his fingers brushed against her wrist,she almost thought she imagined it.The sensation sent a shiver through her, and she hated how he seemed to notice.Eiden exhaled,eyes flickering to her lips for the moment before meeting her gaze again."You drive me insane, you know that?"Vanessa caught. "Good."The space between them disappeared.The kiss wasn't soft.Eiden's lips pressed against hers with a hunger that startled her,and yet she didn't pull away.Her fingers curled into his shirt as his hand found the back of her neck,tilting her head as if he was claiming victory.But then,Vanessa shoved him back.They stood there,staring at each other.Vanessa's lips tingled.Her mind raced.Eiden licked his bottom lip,he stepped back and unlocked the door. "See you around, Van."
