Apparently, Serena's choice of not meeting earlier was correct. It was 10 in the morning when Kylo and Leonard knocked on his door. Charlton, not being able to sleep so well the other day was still groggy.

"Hey Charlie, wake up! It's already 10'oclock." Kylo said as he knocked loudly.

"It's still early..." Charlton replied as he got up to open the door.

"You just woke up?" Leonard looked him from top to bottom not liking what he saw, "Move quickly and take a bath. We'll wait for you here and then we can go have brunch. Don't make my sister wait."

Charlton, not wanting to argue with his 'future brother-in-law', just nodded his head. "Alright. You guys wait inside."

The two went inside his room. Leonard sat in front of the dining table while Kylo rummaged through his fridge as Charlton went inside the bathroom.

Unlike Serena's, Charlton's room was simpler and smaller. Since there were more male students in campus, their dormitory has more occupants and having a solo room with its own bathroom was already a luxury. However, that did not mean that the room was lacking. It was a medium sized studio room which had everything he needed.

After taking a quick shower, Charlton went out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist as he forgot to bring his clothes with him.

"Woah! Where did that come from?" Kylo remarked as he approached him.

Charlton looked at him confused. "What?"

"This!" Kylo exclaimed as he pressed the bruise on the spot between his neck and shoulder.

Charlton hissed. He didn't notice that Serena's bite turned into a bruise. He slapped Kylo's hand away.

"Don't touch it!"

Kylo laughed aloud and wiggled his brows. "Good job mate!"

"What's going on?" Leonard asked, placing down the newspaper he's reading after hearing the commotion.

"Nothing" The two answered at the same time.

Leonard just looked at the strangely then went back to reading.

"By the way, you better clean that up." Charlton told Kylo after seeing the used utensils on the table.

"Why? This is your room and I'm a guest!" Kylo, not wanting to wash the dishes said in defense. "you still owe me, and besides, Leonard also used a cup for his coffee! Why don't you tell him to wash it?"

Charlton chose to ignore him as he walked back to the bathroom after collecting the clothes he meticulously prepared for the day.

On the other hand, Charlton was careful enough not to leave any mark on Serena's skin. Thus, for the day, she chose to wear an off-shoulder light blue chiffon dress.

"Wow Serena, where do you get your dresses? Can you give me the contact of your seamstress?"

Serena chuckled "Actually, I just tweak some of my dresses to achieve this look. If you like, I can help you with yours."

"I'll hold you up on that. But right now, we should go. We can't have your darling waiting."

"Alright let's go." Serena said as they exited her room.

Earlier, Milly went to her room to have brunch. She interrogated her on what happened during her date yesterday. So, Serena being a normal woman who wanted to share her overflowing feelings, excitedly told her that she and Charlton are now in a relationship and that they even had lunch in a private room. Of course, she omitted all the R-18 details. She shouldn't soil the ears of a real young maiden.
