Chapter 20: Tutor Me, Lyric Spencer

#Lyric Spencer's POV

I took the clothes from Gavin and went to change. The shirt was a bit too big, but the shorts fit perfectly. I looked at myself in the mirror and couldn't help but smile. I felt like a new person—clean and refreshed. His fragrance was wrapped around it like a perfume. It was something I could not stop sniffing at, Gavin had a good sense of fashion.

As I came out of the room, Gavin was waiting for me in the living room. He looked up from his phone and smiled. “You look great,” he said, his eyes scanning me from head to toe.

I blushed, feeling a flutter in my chest. I took a seat, my eyes roaming the table. I was starving.

“Use this.” I lifted my head. Gavin handed me his phone, and my eyes switched between us in confusion. His lips moved, “To help communicate with me.”

My heart did a somersault. Why was he so considerate all of a sudden? He was supposed to be an asshole. What if I fell for him again?

    # Chapter 21: Do You Like Lyric Spencer? # Gavin's POV I watched as Lyric walked out of the bedroom, wearing the clothes I lent her. The purple shirt was a bit too big, but the shorts fit perfectly. She was braless, and I could see the outline of her silhouette through the shirt. Her hair was still damp from the shower, and her eyes sparkled with a newfound sense of confidence. I couldn't help but smile. Seeing her in my clothes invoked a certain emotion I could never understand. We had been getting along, and I enjoyed her company, but everything went downhill when Iris sent those texts. I chased after her, barefoot and shirtless, until she reached the bus station. I watched as she sat down, her eyes red from crying. As the bus drove away, I realized my mistake. I had hurt her, and now she was gone. A pang of regret washed over me, knowing I had lost her trust. I walked back home, feeling defeated. I had let my own selfish desires cloud my judgmen

    Chapter 22: Someone is following me Lyric Spencer POV Ever since that incident, I hadn’t bumped into or contacted Gavin Hawkins, nor had I heard from my uncle. I guessed he was in hiding for whatever we did to Alessio. Alessio had been in a coma since the incident, and his men were after my uncle. Still, I couldn’t help but wonder if Gavin was alright. He might have had the wrong motives, but he still saved my life. During my break, I stood at the café, sharing a cupcake and fruit juice with one of my coworkers when Iris walked in. She was with a guy I had never seen in town before. They took a seat near the window and were chatty. Could he be her new boyfriend? Well, it didn’t matter what she did with her life. Once again, I thought about asking her about Gavin, so I went over to their table. “Hi, Lyric!” she waved at me, while the guy next to her tipped his chin in greeting. “We’ve already ordered, sorry,” she said, gesturing to the table. I took

    Chapter 23: What is your problem? Gavin Hawkins POV Several days had passed since Lyric Spencer left my house in my clothes. I thought I would be over it by now, but I wasn't. Practice was tougher than it had ever been before. Coach Seth's voice echoed through the hockey rink. "Hawkins, get your head in the game! If you keep zoning out, we might kick you out," Coach Seth yelled, his voice firm but concerned. I gripped my stick tighter, but it was too late. I watched the puck slip through the five-hole. I breathed out hard, trying to keep my cool. "Hawkins, I need to talk to you. The rest of you, continue with the exercise," Coach announced. As I walked towards him, I noticed Aaron staring at me. I ignored him and focused on getting my scolding from the coach. Upon arriving at his office, Coach Seth was behind his desk, going through some documents while our last practice played on his phone. "Have a seat, Hawkins," he said, without raising his

    Chapter 24: Lyric, see of your boyfriend LYRIC Spencer POV Panic set in as the man bore down on me. I scrambled to escape, but my feet betrayed me, sending me tumbling to the ground. The man towered over me, then slowly crouched, his helmet coming off to reveal a face that filled my field of vision. I stared at Gavin, my mind racing with questions. Why was he here at my house? "Are you okay?" Gavin inquired, concern thick in his voice as he extended his arm towards me. I nodded, still trying to process everything that was happening. My eyes followed Gavin’s gaze, which was directed at the mystery man. Even in the light, I could not make out his face, as he had it covered with a cloth. For a moment, everything seemed to stop. In an instant, Gavin pulled me up by my arm and secured me beside him. We watched the man, waiting for him to make a move. "Stop following her. If you have a problem with someone, it’s me. Stay away from Lyric." Gavin’s voice was

    *Chapter 25: Make it go away Gavin Hawkins POV As I stepped out into the night, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I'd just left a part of myself behind. My mind lingered back at Lyric. I took a deep breath, letting the cool night air fill my lungs. I had to focus on keeping Lyric safe, not on the way she made me feel. But it was hard to ignore the spark that had ignited between us. I'd seen the way she looked at me, her eyes softening ever so slightly. And when I'd touched her hand, I'd felt a jolt of electricity run through my body. I shook my head, chuckling wryly to myself. I was in trouble. My craving for this girl was getting out of control. When I had her on the counter earlier, dirty thoughts of banging her against it ran through my mind. I needed to keep my distance, but at the same time, I needed to keep her safe. The door squeaked open, and Lyric’s small head popped out. I noticed her hair was tied in a bun with free strands falling down. Wh

    Chapter 26: Gavin Hawkins' POV I held Iris tightly for a few moments longer, her small frame trembling against me. Her pain—raw, unfiltered—bore into me like shards of broken glass. I wanted to fix it. I wanted to fix her. But I also knew that some wounds couldn’t be patched up overnight. When she finally pulled away, her eyes were red and swollen, and her hands trembled as she wiped the tears from her cheeks. “I don’t know what to do, Gavin,” she whispered, her voice cracking. “Every time I think I can move on, it’s like he’s there. He’s everywhere. I see him in my mind, laughing, smiling... and then I see her. Them. Together.” I leaned forward, resting my elbows on my knees. “You don’t have to figure it all out tonight, Iris. One step at a time. Breathe. Focus on yourself.” “Focus on myself?” she said with a bitter laugh, shaking her head. “How do I do that when I feel like I’m falling apart?” “You’re not falling apart,” I said firmly. “You’re stronger t

    Chapter 27: She ended things with me GAVIN HAWKINS POV As we turned to face the newcomers, the tension in the room grew palpable. Wren's eyes narrowed, flicking between Aaron and me, while Lyric's expression was guarded, her gaze fixed on me with a mixture of curiosity and concern. Aaron, still rubbing his jaw, took a step forward, his tone casual despite the situation. "Just a little disagreement, Wren. Don't worry about it." Wren’s eyes flashed with anger. "A disagreement? You’re bleeding, Aaron!" she exclaimed, rushing to his side. She grabbed the edge of her shirt, trying to dab at the blood on his lip. Aaron pushed her hand away, his tone sharp. "You might get it infected. Stop fussing." Wren frowned, insisting, "Let me help." But Aaron kept brushing her off, his movements tense. It was clear he didn’t want to confirm my suspicions by looking too cozy with his stepsister. My eyes shifted to Lyric, who still lingered at the doorway. She tipped her

    Chapter 28 : Be my boyfriend GAVIN HAWKINS POV I sat on the edge of my bed, the room dimly lit by the pale morning light seeping through the curtains. My knuckles throbbed, raw and bruised. I’d cleaned them last night, but they still looked bad. The memory of Lyric’s expression lingered in my mind—the confusion in her eyes, the way her gaze darted to my hands. It made me feel something I couldn’t quite name. Guilt? Embarrassment? Or maybe… regret. I ran a hand through my hair, frustrated. I didn’t regret punching Aaron. He deserved it. But I hated that Lyric saw me like that—angry, volatile, and reckless. There was a knock at the door. I glanced up, half-expecting it to be Iris. But when I opened the door, it was a woman I’d never seen before. She was beautiful, with green eyes and brown hair. However, her hair wasn’t the same shade as Lyric’s. Neither were her eyes. For some reason, I felt disappointed. Pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose,

    Chapter 88: Breaking up with you Lyric POV "A lady back there asked if I could give her a drink since she's 'lack toast and tell her aunt,'" Viktor said over the counter, his eyes crinkling with amusement. I stared at him blankly, barely registering his laughter. "She meant lactose intolerant," he added, letting out a deep chuckle. I didn’t laugh. I wasn’t in the mood for jokes. My mind was too preoccupied with my fight with Gavin yesterday. What did he mean by what he said? Shaking off my thoughts, I left the counter to prepare the order Viktor handed me. My body moved on autopilot, my mind still trapped in yesterday’s argument. Then suddenly—pain. Hot coffee spilled over my hand, scalding my skin. The cup hit the floor with a shatter, but I didn’t scream. I didn’t even flinch. I only stared at the mess, the burning sensation barely registering through the numbness inside me. "Lyric, are you hurt?" Viktor’s voice was tight with concern as he hurr

The crowd was still buzzing with energy after the win, but my focus was gone. I didn’t hear the cheers. I didn’t see the flashing lights. I couldn’t feel anything but the weight in my chest. He saw. I knew it the moment I looked up and saw Gavin’s face on the ice. The way his expression fell. The way his shoulders dropped like the air had been knocked out of him. He saw Viktor kiss me. And he thought I let it happen. I swallowed hard, trying not to cry, but the tears blurred everything—my screen, the rink, the people. I wanted to go to him, explain, scream if I had to, but I couldn't even speak. All I had was this goddamn phone, and I couldn’t get close enough in time. I tried to follow him after the ceremony, but the crowd was too thick, and he disappeared before I cou

Everyone around me was cheering, celebrating, soaking in the win, but all I could hear was the pounding of my heart and the static in my head. Because on that giant screen… I saw her. Lyric. Smiling. Laughing. And Viktor… kissing her like he had the damn right. No. No. No. My throat tightened like it was closing up. My gloves suddenly felt like they weighed a hundred pounds. My chest ached, like someone had slammed a hockey stick straight into it. I couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t think. Couldn’t do anything but stare. She didn’t push him away. She didn’t even look surprised. I wanted to believe it was a mistake. That Viktor forced it. That it was out of nowhere. That she didn’t mean to let it happen. But none of it mattered. Because it still happened. And I felt so goddamn stupi

He turned to Lyric, his expression softening. “Sorry to bother you. We’ll leave now.” Lyric offered him a tight, polite smile, though her mind was already spinning. She wondered how Gavin was doing. What kind of family emergency could make him leave his phone behind? And if his phone was really off... why did he reply to her text? Her eyes narrowed. Why was Gavin lying? A voice broke into her thoughts. “I saw Coach leaving. Is Gavin okay?” someone asked. Lyric nodded and signed, > “Okay. That’s great.” --- In the locker room, Gavin sat on the bench, already dre

    Chapter 84 Third Person POV Finally, it was Friday—the day of the long-awaited match. Foreigners and out-of-town visitors filled the town stadium, eager for the game to begin. The scent of grilled hot dogs and burgers filled the air as vendors lined up their stands, taking advantage of the large crowd. Inside the locker room, the coach gathered his players for a final pep talk. The team was fully dressed in their uniforms and hockey gear, ready to take on their opponents. However, as they huddled together, the coach quickly realized someone was missing. "Where is Gavin?" he asked, his voice laced with irritation. The players exchanged confused glances, searching each other’s faces for an answer. "Shawn, you're closest to him. Where is he?" the coach pressed, narrowing his eyes at the player. Shawn hesitated before answering, his voice uncertain. "I don't know, sir. He hasn’t been picking up my calls or responding to my messages." The coach’s express

    Chapter 83: Out of the game GAVIN HAWKINS POV The cold evening wind breezed past me, sending a shiver down my spine. I had driven over two towns to reach the Baby Dragon Casino, the location Allesio had assigned me to. The plan was simple: deliver over ten grams of methamphetamine. It was the most sought-after drug of the month, going for over a thousand dollars per 1.5 grams. I pulled over a few blocks from the casino, scanning the area for anything unexpected. By that, I meant the police. This place was notorious for drug dealing, thanks to its location by the famous casino. Politicians, celebrities, and the elite stopped here, not just for high-stakes games but also for a quick fix. Allesio was one of the biggest dealers in town. I was just the messenger. The deal was to dress decently—not enough to raise suspicion, but just enough to blend in while standing out slightly. With tight security and police dogs patrolling the area, the risk was high. I hoppe

Says I’m too overbearing.” > I teased, raising an eyebrow. "Hey!" He placed a hand on his chest, feigning offense. "I’m just helpful. It’s not my fault people don’t know how to take care of themselves." I rolled my eyes and turned away, stepping toward the main street. The town was quieter now, with most businesses closed for the evening. A few groups of people wandered around, probably visitors in town for tomorrow’s hockey game. Viktor easily fell into step beside me. “Are you walking home alone?” I nodded. "I’ll walk with you," he said casually, shoving his hands into his pockets. > "I know." His voice was light, but his steps remained firm. "But I want to." I didn’t argue. It had been a long day, and honestly, I di

    Chapter 81: Gorgeous It was a little hotter than expected in the middle of January. The café was getting fewer and fewer customers during this time. People in Velmont didn’t drink much coffee in winter since snow rarely fell in town. The last time it snowed was at my sixth birthday party. I only remembered because Mama had kept the photos at home. I had clocked out of my shift earlier that day. It had taken a lot of convincing to get both Gavin and my aunt to let me work. The head chef, Sasha, was at the grill, her face red from the heat. She was also washing dishes in the back, her movements sharp with frustration. Then Michael stepped in. He stood by the threshold of the double doors, scanning the room like a hawk. "You, with the ugly hairband." I froze, pointing at my nose in question. "Yes, you," he clarified. Self-conscious, I touched the hairband resting atop my head. My mother had given it to me. It was beige and outdated, but I loved it.

    Chapter 80: I pity her Gavin Hawkins’ POV I would like to say everything was going according to my plan. But it wasn’t. Lyric was never meant to be part of my life, and it would take me a year to realize it. Because if something wasn’t yours, it would hurt you until you realized it. --- I pulled my Jeep into the driveway of Alessio’s house, gripping my keys tightly as I made my way to the door. Lyric and her aunt were safer in my house than they were anywhere in Velmont, but that didn’t mean Alessio couldn’t still harm them. I wasn’t going to let that happen. Running a hand through my hair, I tried to ignore the weight of the steel tucked into my jeans. I pressed the doorbell. A sharp voice erupted from the speaker beside the gate. "Who is it?" "Gavin Hawkins. I'm here to see your boss, Alessio," I spoke into the intercom. The response was immediate and laced with hostility. "My boss says he doesn’t know a Gavin Hawkins. Leave be
