"Thanks for giving me company Kevin."

A small but genuine smile was visible on her face as she handed him a fresh warm mug of coffee before sitting next to him.

"I apologize once again for blaming you out of nowhere. I don't know what I was thinking."

"Sweetheart, if you say sorry once again, I'll kiss you."

His tone was playful which caused her to scoff at him.

"I know you won't do that."

She sounded confident.

"Why do you think so?"

Chantal smirked. "Because I'm your first female friend."

"That's not true, I have other female friends."

He mumbled in a low voice because she was right about that.

"You cannot include your sex buddies, Kevin."

She chuckled to see his face.

"I have got a crush on you."

"I'll punch you in your face."

After a moment of silence, they turned to one other. They both burst out in laughter. At that moment a confused Evelyn entered.

Her tired eyes came back to life the second it fell on her little birdie who was laughing hard clutching her stomach.

"Hmm, I suppose something very funny is going on here?"

"Eve, you are back."

Chantal rushed to her and embraced her tight.

"Yup, little birdie"

She responded by hugging her sister.

"This is Kevin, Kevin Wilson."

"Oh, that lucky guy with whom you recently went out on a date. It's a pleasure to meet you, Kevin."

"Likewise,"

"You can call me, Evelyn."

"You are very beautiful, Evelyn."

Kevin smirked and looked at Chantal to find her rolling her eyes at him.

"Eve has a boyfriend."

She said, shaking her face and smiling.

"What did I do?"

"Seriously? Anyway, Eve, I'll make a cup of tea for you."

"Sure I would love that, see you later Kevin."

"You too"

He nodded as Evelyn headed towards her room.

"Alright, I'm leaving now."

"Okay"

Chantal shrugged as they walked towards the door.

"Hey, don't be afraid and tell me if he calls you again or,"

Kevin turned to face her and mumbled softly.

"I will, thanks. It means a lot especially after I had a shitty day at school."

She sighed, making him confused.

"Why did you have a shitty day sweetheart?"

"My bad," she slapped her forehead, "how would you know? So our school's new owner is an arrogant jerk."

"What are you talking about?"

He obviously sounded confused.

"Yeah, he is um...also the CEO of the Trevino group. That's what I heard."
