Making the second male lead fall in love with me, the villainess Chapter 166 - 164: Accomplices I

Chapter 166 - 164: Accomplices I

After their song and dance number, the two of them started to get dressed. Looking at the time, it was already 8:50 in the evening, almost time for curfew.

Before leaving the room, Charlton moved to embrace her one more time as he kissed her hair. "We haven't left this room yet, but I already miss you."

Serena giggled as she looked up to face him and pecked him at the corner of his mouth, "If it makes you feel any better, I will miss you just as much."

He grinned in response. "I love you."

"I love you too." She replied.

"I'll see you here again tomorrow?" he asked tentatively.

Serena smiled at him coquettishly while wiggling her eyebrows, "Is that your other head talking?"

Charlton laughed as he flicked the tip of her nose with his index finger.

"What are you doing here so early in the morning?" Charlton glared as he opened the door. He was still in dreamland when Kylo came knocking.

"I was just checking to make sure you haven't hanged yourself just yet. Aren't you glad that you have such a concerned friend like me?" Kylo replied as he entered.

Charlton groaned; it was just 9 in the morning on a Sat.u.r.day. "Really, what are you here for? Wait, don't tell me, the answer is no. I'm going back to sleep."

Kylo laughed, it has been a long time since Charlton was able to act the way he's acting now. Normally, he won't really notice the change, but Charlton has been abnormally gloomy the past few months, like there's a dark cloud looming over his head. So, him acting almost normal made him pleasantly surprised.

"Hey, did something good happen lately? Although I should be annoyed that you're saying no without me even asking yet, I can't help but be glad that you're not acting like some pathetic loser anymore. G.o.d knows that I'm already tired of you acting that way. Hmmm… don't tell me you got back together with her?"

Charlton felt like he swallowed a fly, how can Kylo notice already? He has been very careful not to show it, he hasn't even tried to meet her eyes during music cla.s.s. Anyway, he pretended to be nonchalant. This was just the 3rd day, since he and serena got back together, and although he trusts Kylo and knew that he will have to tell him sooner or later, he wanted to keep his and Serena's relations.h.i.+p between just the two of them at the moment.

"No, I just decided not to mull over it any longer." He denied trying to sound sincere.

"If you say so." Kylo eyed him, not really believing his words but decided to let it go. Honestly, he's just glad to have his friend back.

"Aren't you going to take a seat?" Charlton motioned Kylo to the sofa to change the topic.

"No, I won't stay for long. I'm just here to ask if you want to join me and the boys in heading to town. We read from the times that the recording you guys did last Sunday will be released today. So, we're going to have a look."

Charlton shook his head in response. "Although I want to, I have been warned that I shouldn't. But thanks for the invite."

When he got back to his room last Wednesday, he quickly penned a letter to Edward thanking him for what he did. He also told him that he is accepting the position he offered and briefly mentioned Serena's idea. Lastly, he asked for a meeting so that they can talk about everything in detail.

Edward's reply came really quick. He was surprised when their dorm's receptionist handed him a letter the other night when he got back to the dorm after meeting Serena. In the letter, Edward expressed that he was happy for them and that they should never forget him as he is their number 1 supporter and fan. Nevertheless, he explained that this weekend and the coming weeks will be very busy for him as the disc for we are the world is undergoing ma.s.s production. Perhaps the 1st or 2nd weekend of May would be more convenient. Also, he explicitly warned him not to go to town during this time for obvious reasons.

"oh yeah, I always forget that your face is easily one of the most recognizable in the capital as of late. So, I guess it will just be me and the boys then. Anyway, I'll let you know about how it went when we get back. I'll go ahead, Joshua and the others are waiting for me."

Charlton nodded his head. "Okay"

Kylo sighed as he looked at Charlton one more time, "You do know that I can always tell when you're lying right? We've been best buds since we're 7 so when you're ready, I'm always here to listen. I might not be able to help much, and I am still against it, but I've seen how much you suffered these months so… anyway, at the very least I can keep a secret and cover for you. I'm not a squealer you know?"

Charlton smiled but no longer denied it. Kylo can be crude with his words, but when push comes to shove, he knew he's got his back. "Yes, I know. Now you go." He said as he playfully pushed Kylo out of his door.

"Serena, you wouldn't believe how crazy it was in town. The discs of 'we are the world' sold out in all the stores before noon. Thankfully, we arrived early, or we wouldn't have been able to purchase one as we heard that the lines have started forming even before dawn." Gizel narrated excitedly as Serena went out of her room after getting dressed.

Serena who just walked over to the living room smiled and nodded her head happily. Although it was within her expectations, it still was great to know that the song was doing very well. She was about to speak when Milly interjected.

"Whoa Serena, is it just me or are you glowing these days?" Milly could not help but exclaim.

"Am I?" Serena asked back as she grinned.

"Definitely glowing." Via confirmed.

"Yes, what did we miss?" Gizel seconded as she asked.

Although Serena tried to hide it, they noticed that there were days when her smiles did not reach her eyes. Seeing her this way again made them all happy.

Serena laughed out loud. She hasn't told the girls the last two days as she and Charlton just got back together, but she soon realized that hiding it from them is pointless. They were her accomplices, and she knew she can trust them. Besides, she still has plans on making Charlton join them when they go to Militeia come summer. With her mind made up, she decided that it's better to update them.

"Well, me and Charlton just got back together."

"What!??????!!!!???" Gizel yelled.

"That's great Serena! Since when?" Milly excitedly said.

"How did that happen?" Via asked frowning.

Serena just giggled at their baffled expressions. Still feeling her bursting euphoria, she spent the rest of the afternoon telling them how she and Charlton got back together, omitting the r-18 part of course.
