章 3: Scarlett

"You can call me Izzy or... whatever you want".

Her smile and words made Vin's heartbeat abnormal. Aunty Pam came to the living room and said to Vin with smile, "Young master, the guest room is ready." Vin nodded and looke at Izzy then said, "You can go and take a shower. Aunty Pam can you prepare some thing to eat for us?"

Aunty Pam replied happily, "Yes, Young master". Then Aunty Pam showed the guest room to Izzy and went to kitchen. Izzy went inside and saw the night gown and towel in the bed. She took the towel and went inside the bathroom.

The toiletries in the bathroom were all branded. She now became more sad thinking who this Vanessa is! She then let go of the thought because tomorrow she is going to leave anyway.

...

In Vin's room, he just came in took the towel from his shelf and went into bathroom. Vin closed his eyes in the shower, the image of Izzy when she came to the light in the club rushed in. He immediately opened his eyes. He was so happy knowing that she is staying with him today.

What will he do when she leaves tomorrow. He became a bit sad, her crimson hair, her torquoise eyes, her plum lips, her pale skin he was bewitched by her single look. He suddenly thought of her having the shower. Like him she will also be without clothes. He wished to be the water which can touch her nookes and corners.

Suddenly, his lower part's active reaction made him snap out of the reality. He sighed and smiled while shaking his head. Then he switched the hot shower to a cold one. After the shower he changed into home clothes and came to dinner table.

He saw Izzy sitting in the sofa watching TV. He could only see her left side, then he saw her full face as walked towards her. He accepted complete defeat and regretted saying her to trust him.

Her cheeks was red due to the shower and her face was even more pale. She was wearing his sister's gown but it was bit tight for her at certain areas making her appear more sexy. She was the same height as her sister but more curvy which is visible in the night gown.

Beside the dinner table there is a french door made of glass, leads to the garden. Some of the male servants were taking a glance at Izzy. Vin called one of the servants and said, "Ask all the male servants to leave the campus immediately."

The maid didn't know what to say, she pulled her courage and said, "But everyone lives behind the villa in the quarters, young master." Vin looked at the maid and glared at her then said coldly, "Then tell them to stay indoors untill I say. If I see anyone they will be fired on spot and have to pay compensation fee"

The maid nodded and run away from the spot. Izzy was watching cartoon, she didn't pay much attention. She didn't know why she let her guard down around Vin. He approached from behind and said softly, "Scarlett".

Izzy turned her face to find Vin standing in full sleeves black T-shirt and grey track pants. She asked him with a confused tone, "What?" He smiled at her and said, "Scarlett! That is what I will call you"

She smiled shyly and asked, "Because of my hair?" Vin walked to her and sat beside her then he said playfully, "Kind of". Scarlett hugged her body tightly partly because of cold, partly because of shyness. Her gown was a bit exposing and Vin is sitting beside her.

Aunty Pam and some maids came with some dished and called them to eat. Vin stood up from his sofa and went to his room. Scarlett thought, 'Did I do anything to make him upset?' Aunty Pam was serving her warm Chicken Enchilada soup with some salads and Parmesan Herb Salmon.

Scarlett eats the food she likes a lot and the food she doesn't like to a minimum. She always has the thought not to hurt others as they have worked hard to provide her food. This was something her mother taught her.

But she liked Aunty Pam's cooking.She was enjoying her food and didn't see someone walking to her. Vin covered Scarlett with a blanket, she looked at him in surprise. He patted her head and said lovingly, "Eat slowly, don't choke on your own saliva".

Scarlett looked down shyly and never said anything. They both had their food in silence. Scarlett wiped her mouth with the tissue and then stood up. Vin asked to her doubtfully, "Can we take a walk?"

She wanted to refuse as they were becoming more closer. She thought, 'Our communication is not that great. We only make small gestures and I get extremely nervous around him. I don't want this to expand, it is best to draw the line.'

Vin interrupted her thoughts saying, "Can we? Just for a while". Scarlett thought to herself, 'Say no, say no'. So she said, "Sure!". She thought, 'You stupid heart stop beating! I'm saying the opposite of what I'm thinking!'

Then, they walked in the garden. There was a lake nearby the garden. It was night time so the stars and the half moon was relflected in the lake. The place looked so beautiful, she wanted to draw the scenery.

"Attractive ah?", a deep voice came from her right side. "So beautiful", Scarlett replied cheerfully looking at the lake.

Vin thought 'not beautiful as you though!'. Vin and Scarlett was walking side by side. He was deliberately walking close to her while their hands and shoulders are touching here and there. She knew it and didn't maintain the distance, she acted as if she didn't know anything.

He smiled at her actions, he was completely enjoying her looks and admiring her. She had the blanket over her so she didn't feel that much cold outside. She saw the bridge on one of the lake. She ran to the bridge and walked in it. Vin was admiring her.

He slowly walked towards her and thought, 'if not for the bridge as the platform she will be the perfect example of mermaid' The moon light shone on the young man's face. His eyes looked like it caught the power from the night and was more tempting. She stood there like statue looking at his eyes and he approached her.

Vin hesitated a bit, the next second he pulled her by holding her waist. His touch passed electricity into her body. She shivered a bit, he felt her shiver and touched her face with another hand.

Scarlett had her two hands on his chest when he pulled her into his embrace. If that is, If she wanted she could have pushed him but she kept looking into his eyes.

Vin came closer to her face like he did last time, he touched her soft plum lips with his thumb. Her cheeks turned red and then she looked dowm. He holded her chin and made her look him.

Then their lips met.....
