“How did you know that?” Victor asked cautiously, Marcel can’t sense his nervousness else he’d know something was up.

It seems Marcel was distracted for a while before he answered, “I got your signatory food flask from the guards outside, they said you left it when you went in search of Mimi,”

Damn, Victor cursed in his mind. He had forgotten about that one. This wasn’t looking good.

“Why did you go in search of Mimi?” His tone became serious, “Is she missing? Who took her? Does it have to do with Elijah?”

Of course, this silly mistake of his just escalated. He groaned, rubbing his temple, and then spoke into the phone, “Give me a minute,”

Without waiting for Marcel’s response, Victor disconnected the call and faced the driver, “Pull up for a moment, I need to make an important call,”

At that announcement, the driver almost cried inwardly. He had been speeding – without going over the limit – just so he could get rid of these two people and get on with his life. But it seems the more he wanted to separate from them, the more his life was tangled with theirs. It was really annoying.

Yet, the driver didn’t complain and did as he was told. He understood that Victor was dangerous and didn’t want to provoke him.

.....

“Is everything alright?” Mimi asked him out of concern after the driver pulled up at the corner of the road. He didn’t look good; Victor was always happy.

“Everything is fine,” He answered without even looking at her, focused on getting out of the car.

“Was that Marcel who called?” Mimi asked even as he got out, “You don’t want him to know what happened, right?” she tried to get out as well.

“Just stay here!” Victor snapped at her unintentionally. He felt guilty when he saw her startle, he didn’t mean to treat her that way.

“Just....” He breathed, running his hand through his hair in utter confusion. How was he going to handle this without coming on too strong?

This was the first time he was letting a woman get involved in his business – well, after Macy. The women he was usually with were just for pleasure. Wham-bam! That was the end of it.

Mimi must have noticed his difficulty in trying to get his feelings because she surprisingly climbed back into the seat, “Fine, I’ll sit still,” with a scowl.

That was better, he would figure out how to placate her later after he was done dealing with his cousin.

“Hello?” He was the one that called Marcel this time.

“Alright, tell me what’s going on? Where’s Mimi? Don’t tell me she’s f*cking missing or worst-case scenario, kidnapped because I specifically told you, eyes on her, Victor. ”

“Well, cool your ass, she’s here with me, nothing happened to her. We just had urm....a little disagreement,”

“A disagreement, huh?” Marcel only heard that part.

“It was just a misunderstanding that she wasn’t supposed to make a big deal out in the first place had she trusted me one bit,” Victor claimed.

“Trust you? You’ve never asked anyone to trust you,” Marcel pointed out suspiciously.

Victor’s grip on the phone tightened, he didn’t like where this was going.

“What’s your interest in Mimi?” Marcel asked as he dreaded.

“What’s with the interrogation? I never asked about your strange obsession with Arianna either way?” he intentionally deflected the question.

But Marcel chuckled mirthlessly, “Nice tactics, Victor but you’re not getting out of this. Answer my question,”

Victor shifted on his feet uncomfortably, he didn’t like this questioning session. He looked over his shoulder to confirm that Mimi was still in the car as she promised and out of earshot.

“Fine,” He gritted, “She’s interesting and makes good company. She’s fun to be with. What else do you want to know?”

“Have the both of you fucked?”

Victor saw that question coming so he didn’t hesitate to reply, “No”

“Really? That’s strange. ” Marcel muttered.

“She’s my bestie, why would I do that?” Victor was beginning to get annoyed with this conversation.

However, there was silence on Marcel’s side when he heard that answer from his cousin. If Victor was annoyed with this conversation, he was surely enraged when Marcel suddenly asked, “Do you still take your meds?”

Victor’s gaze hardened at once, his jaw flexing as he growled into the phone, “I am fine if that’s what you’re asking of?”

“You know what I’m asking about, Victor? The doctor did say there were chances of you developing -”

“I’m not obsessed with her, I’m not hypomanic, so you shove your concern up your ass. Don’t expect me tonight!” Victor hung up on Marcel before he could say another word.

His hand fell limp by his side, Victor felt so stuffy inside that he couldn’t help but scream out in frustration. He was not crazy! There was nothing wrong with him! He screamed so hard that Mimi couldn’t stand it anymore and she got out of the car.

“Alright, I can’t stand your mood swings any....” Mimi froze when she saw tears streaming down Victor’s face. Upon seeing her, he turned his back on her, he was ashamed.

Okay, this is awkward. What was she going on?

“Victor?” She called cautiously, “Are you okay?”

“Don’t come any closer!” He hissed at her warningly.

Mimi took a step back, “Okay, I’m not taking any more steps,” She took a deep breath, “Do you want to talk?”

He snorted, laughing sarcastically “So I let out a few tears and now you’re ready to talk?”

“I seriously hate you, you’re so damn irritating ,” Mimi said.

“Yeah, hate me, then leave me.” He said nonchalantly. He didn’t care anymore.

But Mimi did the opposite of that, she stalked towards him and he heard all of it.

Victor groaned, shaking his head in disbelief, “I told you not to come...”

He turned around at the same time Mimi wrapped her arms around his waist, staring up at him with a grin.

“What are best friends for?”

What the hell?

Victor was stunned by that move? Why was she being suddenly chessy?

“Fine,” He said, trying to wriggle out of her tight embrace, “I’m good now, you can let me go,”

“Why?” Mimi grinned wider, “Are you suddenly shy? You usually aren’t timid when messing around with me?” there was a mischievous glint in Mimi’s eyes as her hands began to roam around his body.

“Hey!” Victor’s eyes widened, becoming alarmed when her hand slid into his shirt. What the hell was she doing?

Immediately, he pulled her hand away causing Mimi to burst into laughter. She clapped her hands, “Gosh, I never thought there would come a day when I would see you looking this innocent? You’re so cute with that blush on your face!” Mimi grabbed her belly, laughing hard.

What blushing?

Victor’s eyes widened in horror when he heard that. There was no way he was blushing? That had to be a prank, right? This must be payback from Mimi.

However, he didn’t get the chance to check his face with the car’s mirror because Mimi cupped his face without warning. Her thumbs brushed across his slightly bruised skin, that caused his heart to go into overdrive. What was happening?

Victor had to blink twice to ensure he was not dreaming.

“It’s not a crime to cry, Victor,” Mimi told him, staring deep into his eyes and he stared back into those warm honey eyes, “Just don’t cry too much, a face as handsome as yours doesn’t deserve those tears,” She grinned sheepishly.

But Victor didn’t share in that reaction, instead, he was more in tune with his feelings like why he was suddenly attracted to those plump lips of hers. For some reason, he didn’t want to fuck her – which he always preferred because he focused his intense energy into it – but kiss her. She had such luscious lips.

Mimi, who didn’t realize her “lips” were in danger, pulled her hand away only for Victor to catch it, stunning her.

She blinked at the action, glancing up to see what was up with him only to freeze. The look on Victor’s face scared her, he looked like a wild lion about to devour its prey and she shivered because she knew she would be shredded down to bones in the end.

He cupped her face this time and Mimi did nothing but watch; She didn’t understand what was happening. Or maybe she didn’t know how to stop what was happening? At once, he lifted her chin and her lips parted instinctively.

The air around them sizzled with the intensity of their attraction and Victor leaned down only for the car to honk and the both of them jumped away from each other, startled.

“We should go,” Mimi was the first to go.

“Probably,” Victor seconded that.

And just like that, the sexual energy was replaced with awkward energy because the both of them didn’t say a word to one another , lost in their own thoughts until they reached their first destination, Victor’s secret abode.
