Tulip's POV

I wasn't going to allow Xavier to believe that he had won by playing that trick on me and telling me to stay away from Danzo. Before he could get out of the garden, I rushed after him and pulled him back gently, catching him off guard. He looked at me, confusion flickering in his eyes.

He chuckled, “Do you not want my rules? Or maybe my rules don’t sit right with you? Because I don’t know why we still have to discuss all this.”

I shrugged in response. “It’s not that your rules don’t sit right with me. It’s just that I cannot follow your rules no matter what you tell me. It makes no sense at all. Why do I have to be the one to stay away from him? What if… what if the situation comes where I cannot stay away from him?”

“Fine. We are going to sign a contract,” I declared, surprising even myself with my boldness. “I don’t want a contract out of just words. I need a document. Our contract is a one-year contract.”

His eyes nearly bulged out of his sockets. “What? What

  • A NIGHT WITH MY EX'S RIVAL.    stuck in between

    Tulip’s pov“You are back already?” Clara said, surprised.I ignored her and went straight to lie down on the bed.“Did something happen?” she asked. “Is everything okay?”I still said nothing.She walked closer. “Tulips, I am talking to you,” she said.“Leave me alone,” I shouted. “Stop questioning me like I am your child or something.”“I am only concerned about you and you know that,” she said. “That’s why I am asking. I didn’t know it would get you offended.”“But now you see I am offended, don’t you?” I asked. “Please just leave me alone and mind your business.”“I can’t and I won’t leave you alone,” she said. “Not when you are in this state.”I remained quiet.“It’s okay if you don’t want to tell me,” she said. “But just know I will sit right here and wait for you to speak anytime you want,” she added and sat close to me, her gaze fixed on mine.Her words got to me and I burst into tears.“I am sorry, Clara,” I said. “I honestly didn’t mean to sound mean or rude to you.”“It’s f

    Xavier’s pov“When do you ever get to act mature?” I snapped, trying to pull on my clothes as I moved closer to him.Tulips remained on the bed, wrapped tightly in the blanket, silent.“I didn’t tell you not to lock your door,” Damien replied with a mocking laugh. “Especially when you know you are going to be fucking your favorite pussy”. “How dare you?” I said, stepping closer, my hand raised in anger. Before I could do anything, he caught my wrist.“Don’t you dare lay a hand on me,” he warned. “Don’t even think about it.”I went quiet.“I wouldn’t have interrupted whatever was going on here,” he continued casually, “if Aunt hadn’t sent me to ask what you wanted for dinner.”He laughed again. “Or do you honestly think I care that you’re in here with my ex fucking her?”“That’s enough of your nonsense,” I said sharply. “Get out. Tell Aunt I’ll let her know what I want myself.”“Oh, okay,” he replied. “But don’t be in such a hurry to chase me away,” he added slowly.I stared at him, i

    Tulip’s pov“Where are you dressing up to?” Clara asked as she walked out of the bathroom. “Is there any occasion tonight?”“No occasion actually,” I replied. “I just finished talking to Xavier while you were in the bathroom.”“Oh, so you’re going to meet him?” she asked.“Yeah,” I admitted. “I’m going there.”“Love is in the air,” she said.“What’s wrong with you?” I asked jokingly.“Nothing,” she replied, giggling softly. “You look good, by the way.”“Thank you,” I said.“So when will you be back? Tonight or tomorrow?” she asked.“I’ll be back after school tomorrow,” I answered.“Alright then,” she said. “Don’t forget to pack an extra cloth for school tomorrow.”“Gosh,” I exclaimed. “I almost forgot.”“I’m not surprised at all,” she said. “You’re in a hurry to see the love of your life.”“Give me a break for once,” I said, blushing. “Everyone forgets things sometimes.”I laughed softly as I walked to the wardrobe to pick a dress for school the next day.“Won’t you eat something befo

    Xavier’s pov“You look so handsome,” my aunt said.“Thanks, Aunt,” I replied. “You didn’t say this when I came back from school.”“You were sweating and looked tired then,” she said. “But now that you’ve freshened up, you look really good.”I blushed hard at her words.“Will you ever stop making me feel like a baby?” I asked with a smile.“You are my baby,” she said. “And you’ll always be.”“Okay, okay,” I said. “I accept that now.”We both laughed.“Now come and cut your cake,” she said, bringing it out.“There’s no way you’re doing this,” I said, covering my face as I blushed again. “This is too much for me, especially on a day that isn’t even special.”“It’s not too much,” she said. “You deserve to be treated specially every day.”“Aunt, I love you,” I said, walking closer to hug her, my eyes filling with tears. “Thank you so much.”“You’re welcome, my son,” she whispered, kissing my cheek.“Now, can you cut the cake?” she asked.“Yeah, sure,” I said as I picked up the knife.“But

  • A NIGHT WITH MY EX'S RIVAL.    A private coaching?

    Tulip’s povAfter Xavier left, I went straight to the office to get my bag. On my way, I ran into Danzo.“Hi. Not surprised to see me, or are you?” he said, his hands tucked into his pockets.“Are you stalking me or something?” I asked.“Not a problem for me,” he replied. “I could stalk you forever if you want me to.”I hissed and continued walking toward the office, but he followed me.When I noticed, I stopped.“What’s wrong with you, Danzo?” I snapped. “Stop following me.”“Can I know when the private training starts?” he asked.“Tomorrow,” I replied.“But the principal said it was today,” he said.“I know,” I answered. “But I’m really tired right now. I can’t do it today.”“That’s fine,” he said. “I wouldn’t want to stress you.”“Okay, thank you,” I said, then walked away.As I stepped out of the school building, I noticed Eli’s car still parked outside.“Eli is still around,” I muttered to myself as I walked toward it.“Hey, Tulips,” he said the moment he saw me.“I’m surprised y

    Xavier’s povImmediately I drove into the school compound, I parked my car at the parking lot.As I walked toward the school building, some students approached me.“Hello, Xavier,” they said almost at the same time.“Hi, guys,” I replied.“How have you been?” Juliet, one of the students, asked.“I’ve been okay,” I replied. “How about you?”“I’m good too,” she said.“That’s nice,” I replied.“I’m really sorry about the loss of your mom,” she said softly. “We heard about what happened. Please accept our condolences.”I sighed, trying not to get emotional.“Thank you so much,” I said.“How are you holding up?” Enzo asked.“It hasn’t been easy, but I’m doing my best,” I replied.“We’re really happy to have you back in school,” Enzo said, stretching out his hand.I shook it. “I’m happy to be back too.”“Will you be taking part in the upcoming hockey competition?” he asked.“Yes, I will,” I said. “I’m kind of in a hurry, but I really appreciate you all.”I walked away.“Hello, Xavier,” Eli
