Chapter 05

It was now 9 in the evening and here I am about to finish my assignments and research this night has been quite peaceful and serene I don't know why but somehow looking up the sky and just let your feelings out made me peaceful for sometime. Sighing I then went back and focus on my work tapping and writing a bit here and there and with one last question I was done with that said and with that last thing I stretched my arms to relieve the stiffness out of my body I hummed at the cracking bones that was stiffened for sometime 'ah that felt good' I thought out loud.

After our little chat with Lumic he never really did message me about his address I didn't bother of telling him about it though I do feel quite bad about it, but the boy should learn and understand that sometimes one must learn where he go wrong and I guess he didn't notice it yet. Shaking my head I can not help but grin 'that idiot', well that aside I might as well get some bath before going to bed. I stood up from my sit and went to my closet getting a small short shorts, a long shirt and an underwear, grabbing my towel the towel along the way and closed the door to my bathroom.

Fast forward~*

Stepping out from the bath I couldn't help but feel like I was revived from a certain death man was that refreshing, it felt like it took all my stress and worries away as I then head straight to my bed with the towel still strap on my hair still I plop down to my bed and lay down. A yawn finally escaped my lips as I struggled to stay awake, it was indeed getting late but my hair was still wet it was said to not fall asleep while your hair is still wet the elders once told me that it was a bad omen.

Getting up from bed I headed towards my study table and review on my notes trying to see if anything was missing or is out of place, seeing it was good and well written by ahem me I put the notes back down and sat on my chair swaying it from side to side to keep me busy at the moment and as if my prayers were heard from the heavens up high my phone started to ring hoping it was Levy that called I hurriedly and pick it up.

"Venus Lumiere speaking" I greeted to the other side. "Viiccccccccc" I hear from the other line.

Raising a brow I then check on who was the calling me and saw that it was Lumic's name on the other line did he finally realize that he did not put in his address? Wow it took him 8 hours to realize that he didn't tell me his address? I went back to my bed and put the phone on my ear to listen to his random whines, sometimes listening to his whines reminds me of children trying to talk me out to buying sweets.

"Why didn't you message me?" he whined I could tell he was pouting now. "Because I was doing my homework?" I reasoned at him twirling my hair to keep me busy.

"And after that?" he pressed on. "I bathe?" I answered sounding quite unsure of why he was asking me this.

"And after that?" "Um, I just got out from the shower?" I answered back still not being able to see on what he was going into.

"Oh I see, but still though you should have called me" He whined oh gosh, he acts and sounds like a child at times that I can not help but roll my eyes and grin at him.

"And after school? Why didn't you tell me that you didn't know my address?" yup I see he definitely just noticed, shaking my head once again sometimes I just can't believe this guy, is he really from BSBM?

"Cause I wanted you to find out? Without me having to ask?" I continue to reason out "Veenuusss" he finally said my name rolling my eyes at him.

Is this one of those methods on to how I could finally get him to say my name? I should've done this quite sooner mentally face palming for a minute of course I wouldn't of known but still, him finally saying my name is quite nice to hear. Means he finally remembers my name and not some other girls name- whoa, now I am only rumbling stuff out of my mouth come on Venus focus.

"How could you, you could of at least told me to check" he is probably sulking at the corner right now, "Well... sorry about that Lumic, I never really thought it would take you this long to notice".

Rubbing the back side of my neck I couldn't help but suppress a giggle, I can't let him think that his agony or whines could put me to a laughing state. Grinning somehow having him as my company brighten up my mood, is it because of his childishness and innocence that I found him cute and easy to tease? Maybe, probably.

"Because of that you really have to come tomorrow with muffin cake as a gift" as he said that I could tell from his voice that he's excited, either the thought of me finally visiting him or from the cake he has ordered.

"I'll try Lumic" sitting up from bed I glanced up at the clock "Oh come on Ven please? Tomorrow's Friday isn't it? At least spend a day with me".

If only this was a cartoon series I could already see him bawling his eyes out animatedly, shaking my head for the millionth time this day or night I can't really think of a better way out of this. Yes tomorrow is Friday but just because it's Friday I can't just crash at his place, but on the other hand if I do visit him tomorrow maybe he'll stop wanting me to come by, groaning from frustration I really hate decision making.

"But Lumic-" couldn't even finish my sentence when he cut me in, "Please? Just this once I swear" sighing once more well one visit can't hurt my being could it?

"Okay okay, I'll do my best to try and visit" there I finally said.

Soon after I said that a squeal is heard from the other line looking over at my phone a stifled laugh from erupting, oh my gosh that was so girl like of him to do. After the squealing a muffled 'you hear' and couple of 'yes sir' was tossed hear and there, did that really make him that happy? I never thought having someone over at your home would make someone that happy, or is it just me? Maybe it's just me, shrugging it aside I stifled a yawn from escaping it was finally 10 in the evening good thing class starts at 10:30 tomorrow.

"Yes woo finally and the cake too please, don't forget- or maybe I should get it hmm" he hummed to himself now what is this guy thinking now? "Thanks a bunch Veve, see you tomorrow afternoon g'night" with that I hear him snickering at the other side of the line.

"Veve?" I questioned at the newly found nickname.

Raising a brow before he ended the call, the last thing I heard before that was him chuckling. Weirdo does this also runs in the family of theirs? Well only one way to find out, soon I found my hair all dry I untangled my towel from my hair and hang it from my door stand, I guess this is light outs for me tonight.

Crawling back to my comforting warm bed a small smile tugged on my lips, well that is until I remembered I would be seeing them again tomorrow I can't really avoid them, Edward and Gabriel huh. I wonder if the two will break up wait no ill intentions cause even though it hurts I did said I will support them it's just that sometimes relationship just don't last at times yes at times. I just hope she won't hurt him, and that she will also love him.

Closing my eyes with one finally thought a single tear rolled down my eyes, it's alright Venus she is in someone capable and good hands as long as he is happy and well taken cared of as long as he is loved and as long as she does not hurt him. As long as she won't let him go cause if she does then I'll take him away from her, that I promise even if he'll treat me as a rebound I'll glad take it.

Sighing I doubt that will happen he loves her too much and same as her I hope no she does, Gabriel please do love him with your whole heart I'm giving him to you now I'll let him go now. Please take good care of him, as she finally take a hug breath in and sighing she finally let him go and wandered off to her wonder land.

Morning at school°°°°

Morning finally came it was 9 in the morning when she finally woke up blinking her eyes to adjust her sight she sat up, yawned and stretched her body as soon as her blood finally started thumping back to its original flow she got up and put everything in place. Glancing at her wall clock it was 9:04 in the morning, smiling she headed to her dresser took out her outfit of the day and went to her bathroom. 'A new day a new beginning' she mumbled under her breath as she begins her morning rituals.

As time was ticking she finally got done on the things she needed to do, clothes? Check, teeth sparkly brushed? Check, I.d? Check, perfume? Check, shoes? Check, notes and research thingy's? Check, breakfast? Well not checked smiling she hurried to her kitchen grabbed a small cartooned milk inside a couple of sandwich which she made yesterday and an apple, having that as her breakfast she dashed out of the house and locking it as well.

Since school as at around 20 minutes walk she grabbed her bike and rode it to school, as she pedaled her way to school she can not help but notice on how bright the sun was shining how the flowers bloomed bright as well and how the birds happily chirp at the tress. Grinning she knew today was a great day or so to be expected.

Arriving at school she parked her bike at bicycle parks locking it as well, making her way towards her classroom she got her milk in her hand as she walk.

A couple of turns and walking she finally arrived at her room, went in and took a seat at one of the vacant seats checking her watch it was still 9:58. Sighing she leaned in on her seat and felt her phone vibrate, taking it out she found the number unregistered on her phone 'Now who could this be' she thought putting her empty box of milk on her table as she read the message the unregistered sent her.

From: (Unregistered)- Where are you?

To: (Unregistered) - Who is this?

From: (Unregistered) - This is Lumic where are you?

Lumic? He has another number? I then quickly save the number to Lumic number 2, but why is he asking where I am? Gasping my wild imagination then took place on my brain, is he stalking me now? Pfft that's not it me and my wild imagination for things ha ha snap out of it Venus, trying to see on what should I reply with I tap on the screen and sent him my reply.

To: Lumic II - I'm at my Friday classroom, why? And since when did you get a new number Lumic?

From: Lumic II - Got it and don't worry about it.

To: Lumic II - If you say so?

I replied or more like questioned and that was the end of our conversation on the phone, checking the time it was now 10:15 might as well get my stuff ready for now our class will end at 1:30 wait- and I didn't even bought anything to eat for the time being. Class starts at 10:30 I have only 15 minutes before the professor gets here a 15 minutes off to buy something for lunch wouldn't hurt right? Getting up from my seat I dashed towards the cafeteria thanking the workers that our room and the cafeteria isn't too far away.

Panting I purchased a chip, a bottle of chocolate juice, and a burger to go, with that bought I hurriedly went back to the classroom just in time to see our professor along the way, greeting a 'good morning' I went back to jog on to the classroom putting my foods down and stuffing it inside the bag getting to see my sandwich and apple. Taking out the sandwich and took a bite we all waited for the professor to get inside.

Sitting down I munched on my handmade sandwich and tried to entertain myself, bored out of my mind I took out my phone and started to play a game I never really know what was the title of the game just that it entertained me is all. Minutes passed by and the professor finally walked in smiling at us just called in for attendance, minutes turned to hours it was finally 12 at noon stomachs were grumbling here and there a student was about to say something when all of a sudden.

Lumic was there standing at our classroom door searching, landing his eyes on me I found myself being dragged out of the room with our teacher in front smiling like nothing ever happened and I was just like what the heck? Whoa man whoa this abduction lol, being dragged at the campus and stuffed me into his car and now surprise surprise here we are at the Neel's Residence.

Such massive home, jaw dropping. As he was still dragging me inside his hand grabbing my wrist lightly to not hurt me but my freaking feet hurts from walking and climbing those massive stairs. I'll die at these rate, minutes later he then took me inside his, study? Maybe, as he made me sit down lightly pushing me to the at the couch, he grabbed his landline phone and called on to someone.

"Maya please bring us some tea and cakes here at my study please, for two, yes, yes, thank you"

After he made the call he then sat at the chair that is in front of me, a table in between us and two couches on each side-left and right. His serious gaze gives me quite a scare good and bad, shivering somehow he looks hot when he looks serious like he is staring at my soul and is ready to devour it at any moment.

"W-what is it" I stutter, he gave me an intense gaze or glare I don't know what to call it but it made me shiver and a little nervous at the same time.

But hold up a minute what happened to the cheerful Lumic go? Internally gasping is this what they all call multi personality disorder? Poor poor Lumic as I was beginning to tear up from that thought I then figured I want the cheerful and silly Lumic personality back, out of nowhere the door opened wide and came in a short girl with an apron in front of her clothes carrying a tray with sweets.

"Master Lumic here's your request sweets and beverages for the both of you"

"Thank you Maya I appreciate it very much" Lumic smiled and thanked the lady.

"Well no problem at all master, here's your two slices of strawberry cake, vanilla muffin and a nice cold iced tea" after she set down the delicacies she made her way out.

"Please help yourself Venus" he smiled and hand me the fork for the cake.

"O-oh thank you" I stuttered and took the fork from his hand.

"So, how have you been?" he started as he took a sip from his iced tea.

He ask while I grab a bite from my cake thinking of how to reply his question hmm I could not just directly tell him 'Oh my life has been great! A little heartache here and there watching my first love love someone else' yeah that is definitely not a good reply, munching and swallowing the sweet cake I can not help but to internally sigh thinking of finally answering his question I swallowed the piece of cake and smile tenderly at him.

"I have been good, how bout you?" I replied taking a little sip of the iced tea, ah~ refreshing.

"Er, hectic" he said to me taking a bite of his vanilla muffin, raising a brow towards his direction I took another piece off the cake.

"I see, a busy schedule?" I asked after swallowing tge food that was in my mouth.

"Most likely" we continued to small talk all the way until we were done eating and drinking our little snack.

"Now then, shall we go to business?" raising a brow and smirking at his action.

"I was wondering when will you say that" I countered crossing my arms over my chest.

"Clever girl" he smirked as well as he leaned back on his seat.

"So Natsu-senpai, what brings me here?" I asked getting straight to the point.

"What do you think?" he teased and crossed his arms as well.

"Hmm" I hummed and wondered why? Besides the fact that he wanted to see me with a strawberry cake I don't see anything else why he'd drag me here. I don't quite see why though, hmm why is that?

"You seem deep in thought" well duh I look at him with a 'duh-look' as he just grin.

"Well, besides the fact that you wanted to hang out with me and bring you some strawberry cake I don't see anything else though" I answered what was on my mind and now crossed my legs as well.

"Oh, I see"

Hmm? Now I'm curious why though I raised an eyebrow at him indicating that I don't really got what he's saying, but instead of an explanation he smiled, a toothy and playful smile blushing at the way he he smiled at me I can not help but to think that it was cute of him doing that. Covering half of my face with my hand I titled my head to the side to cover it more, hoping he doesn't see my blushing face.

"W-what?" I once stammer, blushing slightly while looking the other side. Geesh! Is it just me or his acting weird in some way? And then he chuckled, oh my somehow that chuckle just made me shiver.

"What are so nervous about? We're just here to hang out"

"I know, and I'm not nervous"

"If you say so Ven" I then starred at him, bewildered of what he just called me first Veve now Ven?

"Whats wrong?" he asked with an eyebrow raised

"Nothing, it's just that sometimes you act weird" I shrugged and look at him quizzically what are you really hiding Lumic Neel?

"O-oh?" he stammered, he finally stammered wow I never knew he could stammer too.

"What are you really hiding Lumic? " I asked leaning over placing my chin on top of my hand as I rested my elbow on my lap.

Smirking he leaned in as well, I then looked at him more trying to see the answers from his eyes, but then out of nowhere he again just chuckled and shook his head amusement was evident at this mans face. But wait, I just remembered something, something I should have asked before and first. Upon noticing how my facial expression changed he raised his eyebrow at me and leaned back on his seat.

"What?" he asked and crossed his arms once more.

"By the way Lumic" I started as I leaned back as well.

"Yes what is ir darling" he teased as a smirk grew on his face, rolling my eyes and blush coated my cheek I wave him off and get back to the topic.

"Are you still dating Lissana-senpai?" I bluntly questioned what happened next was out of question I shouldn't have asked him while he was drinking.

"Pfftt-! Ack-!" choking and coughing I hurriedly and went to pat his back, ok note to self do not ask a person a random question when they are drinking.

"So?" I asked when he finally stopped coughing and choking, yes I am curious person you can't stop me from wanting an answer bwahahaha just kidding.

"Well" he started as he compose himself.
