Spencer's POV:
After Charles hung up the phone ruthlessly, I looked out of the car blankly, not knowing where to go.
My mother's nagging words felt like a spell that was giving me a headache, so I had no choice but to head outside for some quiet time. I called Charles and David, asking them to meet me for a drink, but they both chose their lovers over their poor friend and refused me.
After thinking for a while, I felt a little helpless, so I started the car and drove back to the bar.
I walked into the bar and asked the waiter, "Where is Vivian?"
"I haven't seen her today, but I am guessing that she should be in her room."
I immediately strode upstairs and knocked on Vivian's door.
Vivian quickly opened the door, but she seemed a little confused to see me there. "Weren't you going on a blind date?"
"Well, you know what my mom's arrangements are like, right?" Gritting my teeth, I stared at her.
Vivian gave me an awkward smile. "I was just guessing. Anyway, if there's nothing else, then you can leave. I want to rest now." "You've already spent your entire day off in your room. Is that not enough? Let's go for a drive. It's a beautiful full moon night." Saying that, I approached her slowly.
However, Vivian walked to the window and looked into the distance. "I can see the moon right from here. Why bother going out?"
With a frown, I grabbed her hand and dragged her out.
"Spencer, let go of me." She tried to resist, but she was not strong enough to free herself from my grip.
Ignoring her protests, and everyone else's surprised gazes, I pushed her into my sports car and started it.
She complained for a bit before the beautiful view outside attracted her attention. I pressed the button, and the sunroof slowly retracted. The night wind blew on our faces, and as we gazed at the sparkly night sky, we felt as though there was a blanket of stars over our heads.
Vivian stretched out her arms and gave an intoxicating smile. "I really like starry nights."
"Weren't you just refusing to come out?" I teased.
Vivian snorted and stopped talking.
I drove for a while before I stopped the car in front of an old building.
Under her confused gaze, I held her hand, pushed the door open, and walked upstairs with her.
By the time we reached the top floor, she was gasping for breath. "Why are you taking me to exercise here..."
While she was talking, she stopped all of a
sudden.
From the terrace of the building we were able to see a lot more stars in the sky, sparkling like jewels. It was more stunning than the view from the car. It felt like we could easily reach out and grab them. They shone beautifully like a river of diamonds.
I took out two bottles of beer from a cabinet in the corner, opened them, and handed one to Vivian.
"Looks like this is your secret spot," Vivian said as she raised her brows at me and took the bottle.
"I used to come here often as a kid."
I sat down on the bench while she carefully sat down on the swing beside it. Seeing her look so clumsy, I was a little confused. "Have you never sat on a swing before?"
"Of course, I have, but that was when I was a kid, and it was a long time ago." Vivian kicked the ground and began to swing. As the night breeze caressed her hair and the stars became her background, I was impressed by how stunning she was.
I only came to my senses when I saw her looking at me and I immediately let out an awkward cough. "We used to watch the moon from here when we were kids. It's really beautiful from up here."
Upon hearing that, Vivian took a sip of the beer and asked, "We? Do you mean you and Scarlett?"
"Charles and David, too, it was the four of us."
"Swings are not something that guys like. Was it for Scarlett?" Vivian asked as she glanced at me.
I could sense a hint of unhappiness in her tone, but I could not tell why she was like that. "You can say that. But Charles always stopped her from using the swing."
