KAYS POV
Finally, the school day was over and I was ready to head on home. Until I remembered I was supposed to be tutoring Kim tonight. I couldn't let her down, nor could I let her fail. I'd just have to get to bed as soon as I got home from her house.
Seeing as I was too nervous to take my driver's test any time soon, Kim and I began the long walk home with Leslie. She worked at a restaurant that her family owned down the street from the school; it was a cute little diner that attracted a loyal amount of customers. It didn't prevent her from having to work hard and nearly every day for a low amount of pay.
"You guys should just study in the diner." Leslie offered to serve us food while we were studying. "We have those cheesy potatoes you love, Kim!"
"No!" Kim was about to walk inside, and she would probably end up gluing herself to a booth seat rather than go back to her house to study. Her brother was something rather irritating, with his constant flirting and need to interrupt our study sessions. It was required for the door to be locked at all times, especially while I was sleeping…
"Aw, come on!"
"No cheesy potatoes!" I replied, grabbing onto her arm to prevent her from entering the diner. "Talk to you later, Leslie." She smiled a bit, nodding and entering the restaurant as Kim and I went on our away. We saw the Vargas brothers on the way, standing at a gelato stand with two pretty girls by their sides. Feliciano briefly ignored his date to wave excitedly across the street to me, while Lovino hid his face from Kim's jealous glare.
"If you like that asshole so much you should probably tell him or you're just going to see him with more and more girls around town, and you're going to get even more jealous."
"Don't call him an asshole!" She muttered defensively. "Your temper is as short as his, and a lot more violent, if I may say so."
"No, you may not, now keep quiet before I push you in front of a car."
"This is what I mean…"
"Did you say something?"
"Nope."
The rest of the walk back to her house was uneventful. Kim carefully opened the door to her house as we approached it; I could almost hear her thoughts now. She was praying that her brother was still working down at the winery, seeing as his car wasn't anywhere in sight. The only car in the driveway was the one that was waiting for the day she finally got her driver's license.
"Accueillir à la maison, ma sœur~" It seems her prayers were going to go unanswered as her brother rushed us at the door. His arm wrapped around my shoulder, the faint odor of cheese and cologne hitting my nose. I scrunched my face up, pushing away the flamboyant man and settling some distance between the two of us.
Francis, although he was alike many of the older men that struck my interest, just wasn't my cup of tea. It would be too easy to sleep with him, I liked a challenge. This may be the reason my interest was in older men compared to guys my own age.
Kim smacked her brother's head; Francis shrunk away like a wounded puppy, running back off into the kitchen with an 'I'll be back, ma Cherie~'.
"Like hell he will!" Kim grumbled as we trudged up the stairs of her snug home. The house may have been small, but it was beautifully decorated. Though I didn't like the man too much, Francis had an eye for interior designing that was unrivaled. The guy should be doing this for a living instead of working down at the winery, alas his love for fine wine has prevented him from moving on in life.
Or that was what he said. I think he just liked to flirt with the women that came down to the wine bar to drink.
I settled onto her bed, letting the study session begin.
KIMS POV
We must have studied for hours; my brain was beginning to ache with all the information Kay was trying to shove into it. I just wanted to sleep, to cuddle up with Lovino and forget about my stupid history test at the end of the week. Of course none of this would happen, seeing as the world completely hated me.
I could use a shot of whiskey right now, but Kay didn't like it when I drunk around her. Something about me being too young, but where I came from, the legal drinking age was 18. I was 17 and a half, so I didn't really see the problem with it. Francis started drinking younger than his drinking age, too, and he turned out fine…
Okay, maybe I could see her point.
"It's getting late." She looked up at the clock. "Answer the last paragraph and show me it tomorrow, and we'll go over some notes during lunch." I groaned, but happily slammed the book shut and tossed it off my bed. With a sigh, I looked outside at the setting sun before noticing something.
There was another car in my driveway…
"NO!" I grabbed onto Kay, preventing her from leaving my room. She looked at me, confused. "Not while Francis' friends are here!"
"Oh, you mean his older friends?" The sly look on her face worried me; I already knew of her penchant for older men, I didn't need her hitting on one of Francis' friends. I wouldn't ever hear the end of his jealousy! "Let's go~" She easily broke free from my grasp and slammed the door shut to my room. Nervously, I followed her, hoping for the sake of my sanity that Gilbert and Antonio just ignored her.
This was unlikely, seeing as she was a hard person to ignore.
"Please be in the kitchen; please be in the kitchen…" I chanted under my breath as I stepped downstairs.
And there the three idiots sat in the living room, crowded around the television watching some weird movie. They gave themselves a specific name, the bad touch trio or somethin' like that; I liked to just call them stupid. The three of them were annoying when together, and even worse when drunk. The only one that was even slightly tolerable was Antonio, and even then he could get a bit too touchy feely.
Thankfully, they were completely occupied with the movie and paid us no mind as we walked down the stairs. Kay pouted a bit, her eyes scanning the two men she most likely didn't know. I watch her eyes land on Gilbert, and inwardly groaned at the gleam that appeared in them.
I knew what that look meant.
"Goodbye, Francis~" She hummed; she was doing it to purposefully draw attention to herself. I watch as all three of their heads spin around to see who was speaking; Francis looked absolutely ecstatic. I nervously looked at Francis' friends; if they didn't show interest in Kay, maybe she'd give up.
But they did. Goddamn it, nothing could go my way!
GILBERTS POV
My eyes scanned the young beauty up and down; she was just my type. Why hadn't I seen her around here before? Had Francis been hogging this girl all to himself? Her eyes slid over to mine and she bit her lip; I smirked.
She was already mine, I could feel it. Who could deny my charm; after all, I am the awesome Gilbert Beilschmidt! No lady could resist my charm, regardless of age!
I had just cut of my relationship with some girl from down south; she was too easy for my exquisite tastes. I needed a challenge, and that girl certainly looked like she was going to be one.
Looks like I had found a new conquest~
