Vien's birthday

It is past 9, and my eyes are busied glaring on a stubborn being. Wearing a sweet pink lace off-shoulder dress that reached only the half of her legs and a subtle red tint, Vien looked like a typical teenage girl with a price tag. Her long caramel wavy hair is down and her chinky eyes are filled with an obvious bliss.

She has been pestering me with knocks the whole while I am inside the room. When I opened the door to cast darkness, she was out there smiling on her ears for whoever will come out.

"I would only go if Deither tags along. "

That guy won't go. And if he'll not go, I also won't.

That's an easy escape.

Or that's what I thought.

"He is already there," Vien answered, suddenly in a foul mood, with her eyes rolling. Probably imagining scenarios. "...watching over the girl because of her natural stupidity,"

She snorted at that. A glint of her sarcastic expression remained when she diverted her eyes at me.

I only eyed her.

"Pull Rex instead of me. I would not-" I suggested, and it is late to take it back now.

Her face lightened with excitement.

That suggestion is definitely a wrong idea.

"Right! Why don't we let Rex join us? For sure he'll love to go there too!" said she before she pulled me nonstop.

I should have just left immediately when they entered the shooting range yesterday. By that, I won't have anyone pulling me and inviting me into a night out when I am supposed to just sleep and be alone in my room tonight.

I wasn't expecting that being in this place can bring problems with my personal space. Aren't they supposed to just train and train, and then be just reserved on doing missions? And not planning a night out like this?

All the while of the pulling chronicles, I am plotting either to twist her hand or chop it down, until we reached Rex's room. My wrist was emptied just at the exact moment I aimed to twist her hand. Vien used the same hand to knock on Rex's room once, and it didn't open. She shrugged it off before proceeding to search for something in her purse. I saw her pick something.

Wait, is that... a key?

I eyed her, curious and judgemental.

"I duplicated his key in case of an emergency and I am in need of a room to sleep to,"

"If you entered his room on his dirty days and-'

She just cutted me off.

"I can close my eyes and point my gun anywhere of her fuck buddy or buddies body. I think they will end it," she said as if my question is an easy IQ test.

Should I call her wise? Or idiotic?

She twisted the knob without permission and we are on a perfect timing because Rex is currently busy wearing his boxers when we entered. And he is facing the door, where the two of us is at.

I swiftly skimmed on his lampshade while Vien innocently closed her eyes.

That is why you need to get permission before entering someone's room.

It is a good that he is still wearing his towel when he did it, so I am positive that I didn't see anything... hanging.

"Hi ladies," he playfully greeted, as if he can just go all naked and he will not be affected by who sees what.

Talking about boy things.

He removed the towel on his waist, placing it on the table where the lampshade is, before walking left to head on his closet.

Lower physiques including a bulge, which were favorably presented on a side view passed my eye level.

My eyes drifted to check the teen and found her just comfortable, not disturbed in our setting.

"Wear something good, we are going out tonight!" Vien announced. My eyes diverted back and saw him in his pants now.

"Aesha is coming?" he asked, eyes shifted to Vien's hold on me.

Obviously not.

"Yes!" she answered, in contrast to my supposed-to-be answer.

"Like that?" Rex asked again, and his eyes flew to my sleeveless top and short shorts.

What? I didn't say I'll go?

"Make her wear something that won't show much skin and attract eyes, Vien," he said, a bit problematic now.

Vien let go of my wrist to cross her arms as she scanned him from head to toe.

"Should I make her wear a two-piece?" she thoughtfully teased with a malicious smile directed at him.

Rex only frowned at him, not approving it and definitely not finding fun in that. But in just split seconds, his furrowed brow was replaced by his lips stretching to a grin.

"Sure. Do it and this night will only end up with me punching those dudes' eyes. That would be beneficial for me since it's been days since I last punch someone on the face. You can make her wear that, I am ready to deal with that," he winked.

Vien sulked.

"Oh please, no trouble and fights this night." she disapproved.

Being someone who spoils the pleasure of others, I removed myself from Vien's hold boldly.

"I am not going. Both of you can just enjoy the night yourselves. " I insensitively disapproved before I walked out of the door.

I walked back to my room, determined. I am about to twist the knob when my phone vibrated. I peek to see what it is. It is a message from an unknown number.

It is her 18th birthday.

I turned my phone off and continued entering the room.
