★★★
(POISONED WINE)
★
Scarlett was about removing the mask away from his face when he suddenly grabbed her hand stopping her
His eyes flick and opened slowly, he raised his head up still holding her hand
Scarlett couldn’t deny the pleasure she was feeling now just being touch by him, butterflies were now holding a feast in her belly
She looked at him intently
“What are you doing?” He asked
That voice, that angelic voice, only one person has it, Nova
“Who are you?” He asked
Scarlett couldn’t answer him as her mind travelled far away
Why is she feeling this way
“I want to see your face, I know you’re Genova, why are you hiding your face from me, do you know how much I missed you” She said getting emotional
He felt bad seeing her misty face, she will cry any moment from now
“You want to see my face?” He asked
“Yes, I want to see your face” She replied
“What if I am not the person you’re thinking I’m?”
“I know you are him, I can bet with my life, my heart only beat for that person, your voice, body structure, your hair, everything, stop hurting me” She said and a tear escape her eyes
That was what it takes for Genova to lose his stubbornness, he can’t see her in tears cos of him
His hand went to his face and Scarlett heart beat increased
He slowly and gently removed the mask from his face
Scarlett gasped loudly seeing the most cutest face in the whole world, the only guy her heart beat for, the face she misses so much
Genova expected her to rash out on him but she did the unexpected, she hug him so tight
“Nova” She called tightening the hug like he will soon vanish
“Scar”
“Called me that again, I miss you calling me that” She said
“Scar” He repeated
“I am sorry” He said
She hug him for a very long time, feeling his warmth, Genova allowed her to remain in the hug as much as she want, he wrapped his hands around her
The book glow on the table and opened the next page, that made her to break the hug
Genova made to turn back and glanced at the book but she held his face, cupping it
“Forget about the book for now” She said
“Why did you hide your face from me?” She asked
“I was afraid you will get angry with me, I lied to you” He said cutely
“So this is the America you were talking about right?” She asked
“Ermm… I ” He said scratching the back of his head
“And you think hiding your face from me will solve everything, you would have face me and tell me the truth Nova, I would have understand, you were afraid to tell you were a supernatural right? I don’t bite!!” She said moving back from him
“Scar”
“You hurt me more doing this, do you know how much I missed you, the sleepless nights I had thinking about you, I thought I will never see you again, I understand you don’t miss me nor care about me, from now on Genova let’s stop being friends, I h@?? liars, I h@?? you” She said in tears
” Nova…. please!!, I am sorry, I didn’t know…” He said but Scarlett rushed out without waiting for him to complete his statement
Genova felt his heart arching badly, the boys were right, it didn’t even take a day and he already caught
” Let’s stop being friends” The voice ring in his head again
” Nova, I am a jerk, sorry for hurting you” He said remorselly
The book glow again tapping him from behind but right now his mind is far away from it
“Later book” He glanced at it and left
The book closed back itself and flew back to it normal place

Scarlett entered her room in tears, she was so excited seeing his face the moment he removed the mask, she lost he senses that moment
But right now she is deeply hurt by him, wasn’t he happy seeing her, why did he had to hide his face in a mask
“I don’t mean anything to him” She said releasing more tears
But she can’t h@?? him no matter how she is trying now to do, her heart is still beating for him
“I h@?? you Genova” She said sitting on the bed covering her face
“Oh! you’re here, why didn’t you informed us when you came back from the library” Jisoo asked entering the room with the girls
Immediately Scarlett look up, they gasped seeing her in tears
They rushed to her
“What’s it, why are you crying?” Sasha asked but she continued hiccupping
“Talk to us” Mirabel said
“It’s him, it’s him, it hurts” She replied and the girls glanced at each other in confusion
Who is she talking about
“Who?”
“Genova” She replied
“Genova, what did he do?” Sasha asked
“Wait is he the Nova you told me about?” Jisoo asked trying to get the logic
“It’s him” She replied
“What is going on here, explain it to us Jisoo” Mirabel said getting confused already
“Handsome Genova is her friend, she knew him but he lied to her that he was going to America”
“Wait is this the reason behind Genova sudden mask?”
“Certainly, he was trying to hide his face from her”
“He is a jerk, that was bad, he should have face you and tell you the truth, you would have understand”
” I understand he was unsure about telling me he was a supernatural, I didn’t mind him lying to me about going to America but hiding his face behind a mask is what hurts me, don’t I mean anything to him” Scarlett said
” Stop crying cutie” Sasha said wiping her tears
” Thank you”
” Don’t mention, we are here for you, don’t feel bad about it, I think he was afraid to face you, find a place in your heart to forgive him okay” Mirabel said
” How dare him made you to cry, I don’t mind if he is my crush, I am going to give him a piece of my craziness, I will be back muffin” Jisoo said and left
” What’s she trying to do?”
” Confront him ofcourse” Sasha replied
” What! she doesn’t need..”
“Calm down, Jisoo will handle everything” Mirabel said
” She really likes you”

The guys are sitting on the bed chatting when the door opened and Genova entered without his mask
They look at him and smiled but their smiles dropped immediately they saw his sullen face
“Hey man what’s wrong, you are not wearing your mask?” Dreams said
“There’s no need she already saw my face, she is now angry with me” He said
“She said we shouldn’t be friends again” He said going to sit on the chair
Gold felt happy hearing the last thing he said, if they’re no more friends then he will take that opportunity to get more closer to her
“I told you but you were proving stubborn now see the result” Gold said
“She will come around, all you need is to plead with her, she will understand” Blue said
“Man got caught in less than a day” Dreams laughed
” Hey stop laughing at me, I am screw, I feel so bad that I hurt her” Genova said
” Do you like her?” Gold asked
” Yes I like her” He replied and Gold frown
” Why won’t I like her isn’t she my friend or do you expect me to h@?? my friend” He replied with a question
” Better”
” What’s that?” Blue asked
” Nothing” Gold smiled to covered up

Jisoo barged into Genova room and scanned the room finding no one she hissed
“Where’s that jerk?” She asked herself
“Let me check the guys room” She said and went out
She entered Blue room first and found it empty, she went to Gold room same thing, she went to Dream’s room and barged in
“What the f_ck”
“Where’s that bastard?” She asked and her eyes spotted Genova sitting on the chair, she walked to him and grabbed him by his collar
The guys stood
“What are you doing Jisoo?” Blue asked
“Don’t interfere in this Blue, I need to teach this jerk here some lessons” She said facing Genova
He didn’t react he just stood speechless
“How dare you make Scarlett to cry? how dare you” She yelled
“I am sorry, I didn’t mean to”
“You didn’t mean to but you already did, you know what I want you to make up for hurting her, apologize to her and make sure she forgives you or else I’mma gonna kick your balls so hard” She said raising her leg to his balls
“Okay, I will do it okay” Genova said
” Good” She said releasing him
” Hmm Defender ” Blue said
” f_ck you Blue” She rolled eyes and walked out
” Do she always roll eyes or is it only at me?”
” Gosh she is crazy” Genova said
” Make up to her, you guys will look perfect, should I start shipping already” Dreams said
They laughed except Gold who had a straight face
” See you guys later” He said and left
“What’s wrong with him?” Genova wondered
