Making the second male lead fall in love with me, the villainess

Chapter 22: Sealed with a kiss II

As they exited the door, Serena winked at Milly and let go of her arm. Milly of course was not stupid. She stopped following them and pretended to look at another room through its window.

When Charlton unlocked the door at the end and entered, Kylo, ever the wingman, slung his hand over Leonard's shoulder. "Hey Leonard, look at this!" he said as he pulled him towards another door looking through the window to see what's inside.

Serena was surprised when she entered the door.

Charlton directly pulled her to the side, closed the door, enclosed her between his arms, and then dived right in to kiss her.

Not the chaste kiss that first kisses usually are. But a full-blown kiss involving the tongue filled with fervent desire and passion.

Well, what can our dear Serena do?

She kissed back with equal ferocity of course!

Charlton only deigned it time to separate when they were both out of breath.

"Just so you know, I've wanted to do that since I first saw you." Charlton whispered.

"Well, we have more in common then." Serena replied, a bit breathless.

"I'm afraid, we don't have that much time now. Promise to meet me tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"I'll fetch you at 9?"

"No, that will cause people to talk. Let's meet here instead." Serena suggested smiling mischievously.

"I like how your mind works." Charlton replied with a smirk. Then seriously added "Serena, you can not regret this."

"Back at you. You can not regret this."

"Never."

"then let's seal it with a kiss." Serena said as she placed both her hands on his cheeks, pulled him closer, and kissed him.

"What is up with you?" Leonard asked Kylo, confused as to why he pulled him over.

"Well, I was just so excited so see these rooms. See here? This room has two upright pianos! Hey, why did Sir Felix not include us in the performance? He's so biased!"

"Well let me think... Aside from your mediocre guitar skills, what else?"

"Can't you put it more nicely?"

"Are you seriously asking me that question?"

"Well yes, it will be their honor to have a prince like me attend!"

Leonard just rolled his eyes. "Come on, let's go."

"Wait, don't you want to know how your sister's been doing in class? You should ask her friend over there! It would be better to get a third person's opinion. Your sister might not be telling you the truth!"

"Did you just accuse my sister of being a liar?"

"Huh? Of course not! It's just that girls are quite shy in sharing the truth all the time. Specially if they're being bullied or having difficulties."

"You may have a point there, but my sister is very capable. Let's go."

'Well, capable indeed! Anyways, you better thank me Charlton, I guess I already bought you enough time' Kylo thought as he saw Geoffrey and Emily exit the first room.

When the others entered their room, Serena was already seated in front of the Piano. Charlton on the other hand was standing at the other end pretending to look at the other instruments.

The room was like the first room, the only difference is that this room had a study table and more chairs.

Serena liked this room better though, if for nothing else, because of its location. It was located at the end of the left row, making it rare for people to pass through its door.

"Apologies everyone, I have to go ahead. It is a pleasure to meet all of you" Emily started her face showing some discomfort.

"Are you alright?" Milly asked.

"Yes, don't mind me. I just remembered something important."

"Milly and I can walk back with you to the dorm." Serena suggested.

"No need, I can manage. But thank you." Emily rejected.

"Oh, alright. Take care."

"I too have to leave. I still have to prepare for the meeting tomorrow morning." Geoffrey said as he excused himself using the student's council meeting every Saturday morning as justification.

'Hmm... I wonder what happened? Oh well, must be one of the scenes where the heroine is pushing the male lead away.' Serena thought.

--

"Serena, are you sure you don't want to join us? We can wait for you here." Leonard told Serena as he, together with Charlton and Kylo stood at the lobby of her dorm.

"Yes brother, we girls need our alone time too." Serena said with Milly beside her. It was already getting chilly and she had to change before they go out. 'Besides, much as I would like to join you guys, I still have to prepare for tomorrow!'

"Alright. I'm afraid I can't guarantee time tomorrow as I don't know how long the student council meeting will take. Have you set a schedule with Charlton for your rehearsal?" Leonard asked.

"Is Sunday after lunch alright with you, Mr. Charlton?" Serena asked.

"Yes, sounds good." Charlton replied.

"Hey, can I join too? The more the merrier." Kylo chimed in.

"Sure. Milly, please join us too." Serena even suggested.

Milly nodded with a smile.

"Well then, we will go ahead. See you on Sunday." Leonard ended, satisfied.

While the three boys were leaving, Charlton looked back at Serena.

Serena saw him do so and enthusiastically blew him a kiss.

--

After the boys left, Serena changed to a more appropriate dress for the weather. Then she and Milly went shopping in town. She was pleasantly surprised to find that even in this era, wax was readily available.

What can she say? She never liked hair down there.

Tomorrow can't arrive soon enough.
