Chapter 114 Built Different.
lily stood there, shifting nervously, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her hoodie like it held the answers to all her problems.
her face was red—so red, in fact, that hugo wondered if she might just explode. this was the reddest he had ever seen it.
it wasn't even as red as this after they kissed!
she sighed deeply, as if she was gathering all the courage she had left in her body. her breasts rose and fell with the effort.
hugo wasn't looking or anything. he was far too busy for that...
"do you... remember our first date?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper and filled with uncertainty.
hugo raised an eyebrow, keeping his face as cold as a glacier. on the outside, he looked like he couldn't care less. on the inside? pure chaos.
'our first date? why's she bringing that up now? is this some kind of trap? is she trying to remind me of all the good times before dropping the hammer on me? is this her way of saying, 'thanks for the memories, but it's time to move on?''
he had watched his fair share of dramas, and most especially, those wretched reality shows.
he was having a bad feeling about this.
outwardly, he nodded, his face completely calm. "of course," he said, his tone flat, as though recalling something mundane like yesterday's weather.
but inside, his brain was spinning like a hamster on an energy drink. he was transported back to that day. 'our first date... oh man, that was... wow.'
he remembered it all too well. he and collins had gone to watch lily and tily's volleyball game.
the crowd had been wild, the players intense, but hugo's eyes had stayed glued to lily the entire time. the way she dove for the ball, the fire in her eyes—it had left him in awe.
his heart had instead monitored the other players. his heart and his little brother...
after the game, he'd taken her on his bike. that ride through the city still played like a highlight reel in his mind—the wind in their hair, her laughter, the way she'd held onto him like he was her anchor.
since he was accelerating like a maniac...
lily looked up at him, her eyes glistening slightly. "and then, during our date at the arcade..."
hugo's heart started pounding in his chest, completely ignoring his attempts to calm it. he had no idea why he was feeling nervous, but it was there, a strange tightness in his chest that wouldn't go away.
he told himself to stay calm, but his body clearly wasn't listening. 'why am i getting nervous? this is just lily. she's not about to confess that she was sent by my mom... right?'

"...seeing how well we connected, how good our chemistry was..."
his chest tightened. 'okay, this is it. she's either about to say something amazing or completely crush me. no in between.'
"...it made me realize something."
hugo's mind raced, his nerves skyrocketing. "realize what?" he asked, his voice coming out a bit sharper than he intended.
lily hesitated, then took a deep breath. she stepped closer, meeting his eyes with a determined gaze. her lips parted, and she said—
