ZULEKAI 

I woke up slowly, my eyes blinking open one after the other. The sunlight slipped through the curtains and touched my skin, warm and soft. It was the light which rested on my face that woke me up. I would have still been enjoying the comfort of my bed and pillow. I stretched my arms and sat up on the bed. My stomach let out a low grumble and I sighed remembering the incident that happened last night.

Fucking asshole! I spat out as memories of last night came washing into my mind in a large torrent. I would have eaten if he hadn't pissed me off. I shrugged it off and stepped down from the bed. But my heart was beating faster than usual. I touched my chest lightly, trying to figure out what was wrong when something crossed my mind....the dream I had last night. I remembered it vividly and even though the events of last night tried crumbling it off, it still remained intact.

It was a hot dream. The hottest dream I had ever had was about lanvini. I didn't want to think about it right now, but it kept coming back. The way his touch had aroused something primal in me, his deep voice which had sent me into oblivion, his hot breath on my neck and the way he whispered my name in the dream like he needed me.

Zulekai! I mentally screamed my name. What the hell is wrong with you? I shook my head quickly, erasing the thoughts off.

“No,” I whispered to myself. “It was just a dream. And nothing more. Get a trip on yourself, zules.”

Great! Now I am sounding like him.

I stood up fully, did a few stretches to jerk my muscles up and walked to the bathroom. I didn’t want to think about Lanvin that way, but I couldn’t help it. He was always so cold. He never looked at me, at least that was what I thought. And he never spoke to me unless he had to and always did if he was going to piss me off. Most times walked past me like I wasn’t even there.

Still, my stupid body reacted to him. Why does my body, of all the guys in the college, decide to have a thing for lavini? Frankly enough, my heart never listens to me, it does strange things whenever he is around. It was like I could feel him even when he was not looking.

I took my bath, brushed my teeth, and put on clean clothes. I went downstairs to grab something to eat. My mind was still not settled. I didn’t tell anyone about the dream. How could I? What would I even say? I could have just decided to tell freckles but hell no, I would never give her the satisfaction of knowing I fantasize on the college-playboy-devils.

Or I could just walk up to zade since he is my confidant. I'd be like, “Hey, I had a dream about Lanvin last night, and I can’t stop thinking about it?”

Geez! Even saying that sounds ridiculous. No way will I tell my brother I dreamt about his best buddy. 

I entered the kitchen and left over rice and chicken stew and some vegetables and desert in the fridge. I mentally thanked my brother for having it in mind to keep my food for me. I piled up the tray with the food and still made fried eggs and bread. I was going to eat like a lion today and I sure want to do it now I'm alone.

I sat at the corner and started eating slowly. My head was full of thoughts. Thoughts about Lanvin. Why couldn’t I stop thinking about him? Why is my mind torturing me? 

As I was chewing, I heard a door open upstairs. Zade's awake to go to the gym. I didn’t even look up, there was no need for me to do that. But then I heard footsteps. It was slow, heavy and firm and it sounded so familiar. My heart raced as I looked up to find him staring at the kitchen.

And holy shit, he was shirtless.

My spoon dropped and my mouth hung open, my eyes widened.

I stared at his chest. My eyes raked all over his body hungrily, the muscles in his arms moved when he walked, his skin glowed in the dim, and there was a scar near his shoulder, and I wanted to know how he got it. His hair was messy like he just woke up. He didn’t look at me. He didn’t even blink.

My mouth went dry.

I cleared my throat quietly and picked up my spoon and tried to act like I wasn’t staring. But I was. I couldn't stop staring at his lean muscular figure, at his hair which was inviting me to come  rake my hands through it.

He walked past the dining table and opened the fridge. He brought out a bottle of water, drank straight from it, then closed it and turned around.

This time, he looked at me.

My heart jumped at the way his eyes checked me out from head to toe. I suddenly felt a kind of sensation swelling around my middle part. It looked so hot. I would have been nuzzling around him if not for my restrained self.

He looked straight into my eyes like he could see everything I was thinking and then he smirked. I blinked and looked down at my plate.

“Are you ready for school?” he finally asked.

His voice was deep. It made my stomach twist

I looked up, shocked that he would even talk to me. Not like I wasn't expecting him to do that but I didn't know if he was after what happened last night. And besides this happens to be the nicest thing he has ever said to me. He had never spoken to me like that before. Not with that voice. Not with that soft tone. Not with the calm look dancing in his eyes.

“What?” I balked.

“School,” he drawled, narrowing his gaze at me. “Are you ready?” he asked slowly, emphasizing each word.

Why was he asking if I'm ready for school? Wasn't he giving the impression of not wanting to talk to me? He doesn't want anything to do with me but why does he keep on doing this.

I stared at him, rolled my eyes and scoffed. “Why do you care?”

He paused.

My heart started beating fast again. He opened his mouth to say something, then closed it. Then he opened it again.

“Because...” he said.

That was all.

Just because.

Then he turned and walked away leaving me there stupefied.

See... he's such an asshole and he knows. I sat there frozen, my heart racing, my body warm all over. That one word was still ringing in my ears.

“Because…”

Because what? What did he mean? Why didn’t he finish the sentence? Why does he have to do that?

I stood up from the chair and walked to the sink to rinse my plate, but my hands were shaking. I could still feel the heat in my body. My legs felt weak like something had gone through it.

I kept thinking about the dream. I kept thinking about the way he looked without his shirt. I kept thinking about the way he looked at me. That look wasn’t empty. It wasn’t cold. It was something else. Something I didn’t understand yet.

I walked upstairs slowly. My head was full. I wanted to knock on his door and ask him what he meant. I wanted to shout at him for confusing me. But I didn’t.

Instead, I went to my room and sat on the edge of my bed.

I looked at the clock. I was already late for school. I didn’t even care. I was still stuck on what he said. Or what he didn’t say.

“Because…”

It meant something. I knew it did.

Later, I was walking downstairs again, ready to leave for school when I saw him by the car. He had a black shirt on now, but my eyes kept remembering how he looked earlier. My face grew hot.

He looked at me.

“I’m driving you,” he said.

I paused and hissed through my teeth. “I can take the bus.”

“I said I’m driving you,” he repeated.

“Why?” I asked.

He said nothing. He just opened the car door and waited.

I climbed in slowly, still confused.

The ride was quiet at first. The silence filled the car like thick air. I could hear my heartbeat. I could hear his breathing too.

I turned to him. “Lavin…”

He didn’t look at me.

“What did you mean earlier?”

He didn’t answer.

“Lavin,” I said again, louder this time.

He groaned. "For the love of the moon, my name is lanvini...not lavin or lavini." 

"Answer the question, lavini." I drawled.

He glanced at me for a second, then looked back at the road. “I said what I said.”

“But what did you mean?” I pushed.

He took a deep breath. “It doesn’t matter.”

“It does to me.”

He stopped the car suddenly. We weren’t at school yet. He parked by the side of the road and turned to face me.

“It’s better if I don’t talk,” he said.

“Why?” I asked again. “Talk." 

He groaned and slapped his palms on his forehead. "You know, you're such a pain in the ass. I said that because I wanted you ready before going to school." 

So that was it....ohh my goodness!

    ZULEKAI I saw him again and this was the tenth time he was crossing my view. And the day hasn't ended. He was playing with his team on the ice, fully dressed in his gear. He was talking to someone, more of like he was instructing them — which reminded me now he was the captain of the college hockey team — but I didn’t even try to look properly and find out what he was saying or doing.I acted like I didn’t see him. I kept walking straight like he wasn’t even there. Like I never knew him. Not like I knew him. I knew him as the best friend to my brother, Zade, and well my roommate now. That helped... ignoring him and pretending to know who he was helped other than gathering round the stand and watching them play and cheer on like the other girls were doing. If I didn’t see him, maybe I could get him off my mind. Maybe I could forget what he said to me this morning. Maybe I could forget what he did last night. Maybe I could forget how I felt when I was around him.I walked fast away fr

    LANVIN POVI sat on the edge of my bed with my hands in my hair. My fingers pulled at my roots, playing and tucking at it. My breath came slow, then fast. I shut my eyes and tried to keep my chest from tightening again. But it was useless. I have been like this ever since I returned from school. My racing heart was getting worse as the minutes passed, despite everything I have tried to make it calm...it seems it just got more infuriated.“Calm down,” I whispered as if doing that would make it stop troubling me.But it wasn’t working.It was my wolf and I don't know what's wrong with it. My wolf growled inside me. He moved around like he wanted to fight. Or maybe he wanted to run. Or maybe…he wanted something else. And the only thing that has been making my wolf troubled for the past few days was Zules. He wanted her. Zukelai.“No,” I said out loud as realization dawned on me. “Stop it. I don’t even know what I’m feeling.”My wolf didn’t listen. He never does when it’s about her. He do

    ZULEIKA'S POV “I need a car,” I randomly said as I walked out of a coffee shop with Freckles. It was her favorite place for cupcakes and brownies. The place was growing on me too. I took a sip of the coffee I had taken to go and glanced at her. “Tell me about it. College life fuckin’ sucks, man,” she sighed. “Good thing you've got your brother though, right?” she glanced at me and looked back down at her phone. I sipped my coffee again. “Yeah, definitely,” I sarcastically drawled. I appreciated Zade picking me up whenever I asked. He had never complained, but I would prefer to have my own car. It would give me a sense of autonomy over myself and my movements. “I'm gonna get going,” I sighed, deciding I was going to skip the last class I had. I could not see myself paying attention so I just wanted to head back home and get some rest. “‘Kay, see you later,” Freckles kissed my cheeks and headed off, still on her phone. She seemed distracted. On any other day, she would have persua

    ZULEIKA’S POVI stared out the window as I wondered for what had to be the hundredth time why I had agreed to moving in with Zade and Lanvin. I sat at the cornerP of my bed and stared at the pile of clothes that sat at the other side of the bed. I had managed to get my books and minor stuff into boxes. I did not want to clog their apartment space, especially since the bedroom I was going to be getting was smaller than mine here. I decided to pack my clothes minimally. I could always come back here and get some more. My phone rang and I dejectedly grabbed it. I took a deep breath when I saw that it was Zade calling. I needed to steady my breathing and add my casual lilt into my voice. I felt anything but casual. I was moving in with Lanvin Darkside for goddess's sake. “Hey,” I stood up and went back to folding, skillfully holding the phone between my cheek and shoulder. “We're pulling up now. You ready?” Zade spoke leisurely. Just as he said those words, I heard his car pull up in

    ZULEIKA’S POVBoredom had clawed its way into my chest like an infection.It had been two days since I last spoke to my parents, and I still hadn’t made a move to pack up and move in with Zade. Honestly, I was stalling. I knew Mom must’ve told Zade about it by now, but I didn’t care.

He was too busy juggling classes and gym commitments. As for Lavin… he was like a ghost. Or worse—an itch under my skin I couldn’t reach. He acted like nothing had happened. Like the kiss, my slap, and the entire emotional storm meant absolutely nothing. Like we were back to the usual game of taunt-and-ignore.And that annoyed me more than it should have.So when Freckles texted me about a frat party, I didn’t hesitate.Frat party tonight. Come get wasted with me before we both die of boredom. Also: slut fits required. No
