10 Her Name (1/2)

Chapter 10

The girl tilted her head when he said that.

She thought, ”Only a question?”

She had almost no time to spare. Answering his question would make her life easier, indeed. Seeing that she did not have to spend any effort at all, she gladly obliged and immediately nodded.

It was two birds with one stone!

Kevin continued, ”What's your name, sweetheart?”

All this while, the girl never noticed the nickname he had for her, 'Sweetheart.'

She had only concluded that he called her that due to not knowing her name. She never thought of the possibility that he was interested in her, more so in love with her, because she was innocent to begin with.

No. Presently, it was more accurate to say that she was clueless to begin with.

This made the girl dumfounded. She subconsciously replied, ”Only that?”

When those words left her mouth, she immediately regretted it. Saying those words would only increase her debt!

She felt like an idiot.

Next time, she might as well over think things than over say things that would only worsen the situation.

Actually, Kevin had the capability to know her name even without asking her. He was talented enough to even hack the school's confidential documents without alarming the security. But of course, he still had to ask, for it was proper manners befitting of a gentleman.

Not only that, asking for the girl's name was the one of the basics of courtship.

Kevin replied with a mischievous smile, ”No. Not 'only' that.'”

Upon hearing that, the girl's expression slightly darkened.

She sighed to herself and thought, ”I knew it.”

She regretted digging her own grave. She realized she had been an idiot for a while now, ever since she had not directly discovered that the man beside her was actually Kyle's twin.

She didn't know why she became an idiot. But, one part of her mind subconsciously knew the answer. She had been bottling up too many emotions that she could not think straight anymore.

While the girl was pondering over the cure to her idiocy, Kevin rejoiced at how the girl wanted more favors from him. He would definitely use this opportunity and take full advantage of it without fail.

Kevin thought, ”If it's from you, of course I would want nothing less than your heart and life.”

This was the first time he felt like this. Ever since he met the girl, he discovered he actually had numerous and different types of feelings in him.

For his whole life, he thought he was satisfied with being his own kind of ideal man: the perfect gentleman, nothing more and nothing less.

Yet, without even realizing she had done so, the girl proved him wrong.

He never thought he was the type to idiotically fall in love, not unless given the monetary benefit. But here he was, now blindly in love, with no monetary benefits given except the sweet sensations of his heart and soul.

He was a young man inexperienced with the ways of love. Yet now, he seemed like a man with a hundred years of experience in front of his first love.

He was a genius who was perfectly rational. But with her, he would lose all rationality, leading to the clashes of his own mind with regards to insecurity, confidence, pride, and self-control.

He was a perfect gentleman who would do everything for his own pleasure, not even bothering with the feelings of others. Yet right now, he was patiently suffering in her hands. Yes, he sacrificed his own physical pleasures for fear of how the girl would see or judge him.

Most of all, for fear of how their future would turn out to be.

He was a free individual who never enjoyed the shackles of confinement. However presently, he enjoyed it. Or, to be more precise, he loved the feeling so much that he became extremely addicted to it, leading him to confine and keep those shackles only for himself.

He was someone who loved being alone, despite not showing it. Yet here he was, hating the thought of it, more so the thought of losing her.

Never, in his wildest dreams, did he think that he would end up this way.

He ended up far from being a 'perfect' gentleman.

He could not do anything about these surprising sweet changes but just go with the flow, because he was hopeless in front of the girl beside him: his first love.

Despite being the victim suffering from all of these changes, Kevin never once said those words from his heart towards the culprit. More accurately, he never said his heart's deepest yearnings towards her.

He could only follow the ways of courtship, or else his little bunny might run away.

If the girl knew what she had unknowingly inflicted upon him, she would be filled with endless regret upon being entangled in such a big mess.
