~Uncle, love me deeper~

Aaron rolled down the window, and suddenly he felt something soft on his lips. Aaron widened his eyes when he spotted Ivy; she kissed him on the lips. In a split second, she broke the kiss and said seductively, "It's a punishment for teasing me."

Ivy winked at him and walked towards her college after saying that. Aaron’s gaze was drawn to her long walks.

"Aaron, who is she?" Rosina was yelling over the phone. Aaron instantly hung up and grabbed the steering wheel. "What was it again?" He murmured as he took a deep breath.

[At college]

I smiled as I pressed my lips together. I did not intend to kiss him; I thought I would kiss his cheek, but accidentally, my lips touched. But it was great; I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. I really wanted to remain a little longer to watch his reaction, but I was too nervous to do so.

**

With a broken heart, Rosina sat down on the bed.

"Aaron was with a girl," Rosina murmured. She heard a girl's voice.

"Why Aaron? Why?"

Rosina covered her face, tears streaming down her cheeks.

‘I understand you don't like me, but you didn't try to like me. Aaron, I'm simply tired. I think we were not meant to be together. It's time to veer off the beaten track,’ Rosina thought to herself.

[Ivy’s perspective]

I entered my classroom and took a seat near the window. I was sure that I wouldn't be able to concentrate on my class today. But suddenly I heard my name; my friend Ame shouted it from behind me. I gave her a frown.

‘This jerk always ruins my lovely dreams.’ I murmured to myself.

"What is that?" I asked, frowning.

"Guess what, bitch?" said Ame.

"What?" I asked, raising my brows.

"I heard two new professors have joined our college, one of whom is a super handsome man," she said with excitement.

"Oh," I said, nodding.

Ame raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, what's the matter with this reaction? Are you all right, Ivy?"

I answered with a smile, "I'm not interested in him. I've already found my personality type."

"What?" she asked, her jaw dropping as she heard me.

"What? Why are you so taken aback? Can't I meet my Mr. Perfect?" I asked.

"Mr. Perfect and you?" she said and then burst out laughing. I glared fiercely at her. She quickly poked me in the ribs with her elbow.

"Is that Joe we're talking about? I had a feeling you liked him," she stated.

"Ame!" I said, my eyes narrowing.

"Why would it be Joe? It isn't him," I said.

"What? So, who is it?" She asked.

"It's my uncle," I said with a smile. Hearing me, she sprang back in surprise and exclaimed, "Are you crazy, Ivy? You like your uncle now?"

I responded with a sigh and a roll of my eyes, "Let me finish first, bitch. He isn't my biological uncle. He was just adopted by my grandpa."

"So, how old is he?" Ame asked.

"He's just five years older than I am," I replied.

"Cool, I was thinking he was an old hunk," Ame replied teasingly. I responded, my eyes narrowing. "Just be patient. You'll meet him shortly, but I'm quite tense."

"Tense and ivy? How is that possible? What's the matter? Doesn't he accept my bitch's sexiness?" Ame started teasing me again.

"Yes," I said with a nod. "You are right. He just knows how to turn his back on me."

Ame asked, "Are you in love with him, Ivy?"

I smiled and nodded yes as I looked outside. But suddenly, I was startled to hear Joe's voice. "With whom are you in love?"

We fixed our gaze on him. "J- Joe, what are you doing here?" Ame mumbled.

"Ame, I'm here to attend the class," he remarked with a smile.

"Oh," she said, gesturing at me.

"Ivy," Joe said.

"Yes, Joe," I replied.

He asked me, "What were you saying?"

I squeezed his cheek and said, "It's nothing, dear. It's just our girl stuff."

Joe stroked my face and asked, "Why didn't you answer my calls last night?"

"I was a little sleepy, Joe," I said, rolling my eyes at Ame, then at Joe. When the instructor walked in, Joe let go of his grip and stepped to the side. I shrugged and turned to face Ame.

She said, "Playing with two hearts is not a good idea. You know Joe adores you."

I curled my lips and turned to face the teacher. I knew it was not good, but I was not playing with two hearts, though.

[Office]

Aaron walked into his room and loosened his tie. He was thinking about the kiss. He slumped back in his chair, eyes closed.

"Ivy, what do you want? Can't you understand that you're no longer a child? You can't do stuff like this with me right now," Aaron murmured.

Someone unexpectedly knocked on the door. "Yes," Aaron responded, clearing his throat.

"Hello, Mr. Aaron," a girl greeted him as she entered. She gave him a warm look as she approached, then smiled. Aaron responded to her smile.

"My name is Xena, and I'm your secretary," she said.

He added, "Oh, hi, Ms. Xena."

"Sir is looking for you for the meeting, Mr. Aaron," she said.

Aaron nodded as he was about to walk away, but suddenly Ms. Xena stopped him.

"Do you want to meet Sir like this, Mr. Aaron?" she asked. He glanced at himself and said, "Like what?"

She abruptly pointed to the side of his lips. Aaron widened his eyes and placed his hand on the spot where Ivy kissed him.

"There is a lipstick mark," Ms. Xena said, smiling as she walked out of the room.

‘Oh no! That's why, when I walked in, everyone smiled at me,’ Aaron thought as he quickly grabbed a tissue and wiped the mess away.

"I'll see you at night, Ivy," Aaron murmured while narrowing his eyes and going to the meeting.

[Side story]

Jack was playing basketball with his friends. A couple of young ladies were keeping an eye on them.

Mia's friend, Kylie, remarked, "Mia, isn't he so hot?"

"Shut up; don't look at him; he's mine," Mia responded. But Jack stared at them immediately.

"Is he simply looking at you, Mia?" Kyly asked. Mia's eyes widened. Jack grinned as they got their way.

"Mia," Kylie uttered. Mia remained silent for a few moments before turning around. Selena was there, smiling at him.

‘So he simply smiles at her.’ Mia thought about it and became upset with Jack.

"Oh, he was staring at this horrible-faced, four-eyed girl." Kyly chuckled as she said this.

"Keep your mouth shut, Kyly. I do not know why Jack chose her to be his buddy," Mia said.

After the match, Jack approached Selena and sat near her. Selena handed him a towel and a bottle of water. After seeing them from that view, Mia and Kyly went from there. Selena spotted them leaving.

Selena said, "Jack."

Jack glanced at her while he gulped.

"I think Mia likes you, Jack," she said. Jack split the water when he heard her and said, "What?"

"Yes, I observed her manner of looking at you," Selena remarked, a smile on her face. After hearing her, Jack burst out laughing.

"I don't believe in this love. You're familiar with me, right?"

Selena gave him a little smile and lowered her gaze.

‘I understand you don't believe in love. But Jack, your friend, has fallen in love with you.’ Selena thought.
