Gray’s POV:
I sighed in annoyance as my character died again. It was impossible beating this level! It was just seriously impossible. I knew my character’s stats were weaker as compared to that monster’s, but leveling up was such a piece of work.
I sighed loudly again before looking up and meeting Violeta’s eyes. She looked at me with distaste, and despite the uneasy feeling in my chest, I shot her a smirk.
Of course he was smirking. Other than a wolfish, flirty grin, I was convinced that the movement was the only one his lips were capable of making. "Good morning, Gray," I muttered, moving to pass by him.
Eden’s POV:
I opened my eyes, reaching for Sterling’s hand and pulling it close, kissing it softly.
“Mhm,” I murmured, sighing before sitting up slowly. I ran my fingers through my hair, away from my face before fixing my shirt. “I’m fine…”
Sterling’s POV:
“Good,” I murmured, cupping her cheek with my hand and rubbing circles into her skin with my thumb. “I love you, my beautiful queen…”
Gray’s POV:
“Good morning, Violeta~” I sang as she walked past me, grinning at her. “You look cuter than normal today!”
Eden’s POV:
I responded by engulfing him in a hug.
“I love you, too…” I kissed him on the neck, moving so I was sitting in his lap instead of the bed. I was only doing this to distract him. Hopefully it was working.
I stopped, turned to face him, let the casual, pleased-to-be-alive look melt right off my face. Don't snap.. that's exactly what he wants you to do… "Ha, ha. Good morning to you too."
Sterling’s POV:
I quirked an eyebrow at Eden’s suddenly bold actions. “What are you doing, love?” I wondered before kissing her softly. “Are you trying to get out of going to your classes today?”
Gray’s POV:
I winked at her, blowing her a kiss.
“How are you today, Violeta? Doing good, I suppose?”
Eden’s POV:
“Is it that obvious?” I muttered, leaning against him again before sighing deeply. “Fine, I’ll get up.”
And suddenly, I wanted to throw up. "Don't do that," I growled, turning away. "And I was good, yes. I'm guessing that you're doing spectacularly?"
Sterling’s POV:
I chuckled a bit and gently caressed her face, looking at her softly. “Hold on… We still have a little bit,” I murmured before connecting our lips in a sweet kiss.
Gray’s POV:
I blinked at her innocently.
“Don’t do what?” I inquired. Perhaps teasing her was something I started enjoying doing. Even though it annoyed it, and made her dislike me more, I still ended up enjoying it. It made her look adorable. “And yes, now that I’ve been asked and blessed by you.”
Eden’s POV:
I smiled against his lips, wrapping my arms around his neck while my legs wrapped around his waist.
Suddenly our phones began to ring, the second alarm of the day ringing loudly.
Sterling’s POV:
I groaned and reached for my phone, feeling for it blindly. Grabbing it, I clicked it off.
“Now I don’t want to go to class,” I murmured against Eden’s lips. “Hm… Think we could skip our first class of the day? Just once?”
Sterling’s POV:
I groaned and reached for my phone, feeling for it blindly. Grabbing it, I clicked it off.
“Now I don’t want to go to class,” I murmured against Eden’s lips. “Hm… Think we could skip our first class of the day? Just once?”
Eden’s POV:
I smirked, capturing his lips in another kiss.
“Thought you’d never ask…” I murmured into the kiss.
Sterling’s POV:
I grinned, chuckling into the kiss before kissing her back. My hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer, if that was even possible. Someone would share their notes with me if I asked, so it’s not like it was a big deal to miss the class…
Gray’s POV:
I blinked at her innocently.
“Don’t do what?” I inquired. Perhaps teasing her was something I started enjoying doing. Even though it annoyed it, and made her dislike me more, I still ended up enjoying it. It made her look adorable. “And yes, now that I’ve been asked and blessed by you.”
I gritted my teeth, doing my absolute hardest not to completely lose my cool. "That. Don't do that. For once in your life, stop flirting when the other clearly dislikes it and talk like a normal human being."
Eden’s POV:
“I’m all up for staying in bed today,” I shivered under his touch, my body burning. It was surprising how Sterling managed to keep his ‘hands to himself’, even when we started living together. It made me love him even more, the fact that he respected me too much to go beyond heated kisses. “Or cuddling and watching a movie. I was thinking we could start watching Supernatural. I haven’t watched it, but I’ve heard it’s amazing.”
I gritted my teeth, doing my absolute hardest not to completely lose my cool. "That. Don't do that. For once in your life, stop flirting when the other clearly dislikes it and talk like a normal human being."
Gray’s POV:
I let the grin drop into a frown, resting my face on my hand as I pulled on a thoughtful expression.
“But I like it,” I answered seriously. “You react adorably. Anyway, I’ll stop for today. See ya at lunch, sweetheart~”
"You just—" I cut myself off abruptly, turned and walked away. No, we would not see each other at lunch, because after the nauseating knot that had formed in my stomach, I was definitely going straight to my dorm after I finished my morning classes. But I like it… Could he not hear how awful he sounded? I didn't like it, but he did, so that made it okay? And either way, we both knew it was fake. God… I hope you're happy, Gray. Mood successfully ruined, I headed to class.

I haven’t watched it, but I’ve heard it’s amazing.”
Sterling’s POV:
I hummed nudged her nose with mine. “We could do that… But we should really only watch one episode. There are still other classes we have to attend, and we should go to them. We can do this more during the weekend,” I reminded her gently, though I didn’t want to have to go to class.
Gray’s POV:
I watched her walk away, a smile on my features. I chuckled, shaking my head. God, she was so amusing. I shouldn’t be having too much fun, but it felt amazing messing with her.
I got up from my seat, stuffed my hands in my pockets and walked off to class, the smile still present on my features.
Eden’s POV:
I sighed, nodding. That would be a much better option. I could manage to catch up to missing work easily, but I couldn’t pull Sterling behind just because I could do it without much effort. I mean, Sterling was smart. He was incredibly smart, but missing even one class could pull him behind, so I couldn’t make him miss the whole day.
“How about we just get ready and go?” I murmured instead. “I can’t pull you behind just because I want to stay at home.”
Sterling’s POV:
“Missing one class isn’t going to hurt me, sweetheart… I would like to stay here with you until my next class,” I murmured, taking her face in my hands and pecking her on the lips. Still gently holding her, I kissed her nose, her cheeks, and her forehead before landing on her lips again. “Unless, of course, you’d rather go to class?
Eden’s POV:
God, Sterling… when he did this, I felt like I was melting. I always melted under his touch. He could drive me crazy. He always drove me crazy with his touches, his kisses…
“Definitely not,” I murmured, pressing my lips against Sterling’s softly.
(*drove, not drived, Callie.)
Sterling’s POV:
“Mm… Good… I don’t want you to go, either…” I murmured against her lips.
Technically, that wasn’t exactly true. I did want her to go to her classes, but at this moment… At this moment, all I wanted was for her to stay here and let me kiss her.
I deepened the kiss with a hum. “Gosh, I love you…”
(Damn it, autocorrect! I wrote drove and it changed it to drives and I don’t even know why I added the ‘d’ -.-)
Eden’s POV:
I tangled my fingers in his hair, deepening the kiss, groaning into his mouth.
I didn’t answer—I merely pushed against him harder, conveying my feelings through the kiss.
(Lol.)
Sterling’s POV:
Frick…
With her hands tangled in my hair, I let out a soft groan, matching the one she did. This woman would drive me crazy, I was sure of it. There was no possible way that I could survive without her, now. She basically consumed my every thought, these days. It made it hard to concentrate on my homework.
I bit down on her lip, both teasing her and asking for permission. I knew I couldn’t let myself get carried away, but this would be fine. Right? I wouldn’t let myself go too far if it just went to this…
Gray’s POV:
I watched her walk away, a smile on my features. I chuckled, shaking my head. God, she was so amusing. I shouldn’t be having too much fun, but it felt amazing messing with her.
I got up from my seat, stuffed my hands in my pockets and walked off to class, the smile still present on my features.
By the time I arrived to class, the nausea had only gotten worse. I'd seen him talk to other girls, flirt when it was clear they disliked it, and that was excluding me. I just wanted him to leave me alone for once, stop the fake flirting, stop the 'but I liked it', stop doing everything he could to make me uncomfortable. Was that really too much to ask?
