HPDBC Chapter 104 Steamy Lessons?
Chapter 104 Steamy Lessons?
hugo stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his jacket for the tenth time. he studied his reflection with a mix of nerves and pride.
his low-cut hairstyle framed his sharp jawline perfectly, and the tiny, shining stud earrings—'affectionately' referred to as "titty studs" by his loving, absolutely inappropriate harem system—gave him a roguish charm.
his outfit was on point too. his leather jacket fit perfectly, his jeans hugged his legs just right, and he smelled faintly of cologne—just enough to be noticed, but not enough to choke someone out.
he leaned closer, flexing slightly. "damn," he said to himself. "i finally become so good looking and yet so cursed?"
before he could spiral into his usual self-deprecating monologue, the door flew open, and collins strolled in, radiating his usual golden-boy confidence.
his blonde hair was a little messy but in that effortlessly cool way, and his grin was annoyingly confident.
he looked hugo up and down and said, "wow. you're actually presentable for once. what happened? did you finally stop raiding your grandpa's wardrobe?"
hugo scowled. "this coming from the guy who thought wearing socks with bananas on them to a date was peak fashion."
"hey, those socks were a statement," collins shot back. "the statement being: 'i'm quirky and unpredictable.' girls love that."
"yeah, right. i'm sure that's exactly what she was thinking as she blocked your number."
they both laughed, and for a moment, hugo felt a bit of his anxiety melt away. collins clapped him on the back.
"don't stress, man. lily and tily are gonna see us, and they're gonna think, 'wow, these hotties have really stepped up their game.' tonight's our night."
"let's just hope their evil little brother doesn't ruin it again," hugo muttered, shuddering at the memory of the kid who somehow managed to always interrupt things right when they were about to get steamy and intense.
collins groaned at the memory. "if that gremlin f*cks up again, i swear i'm tracking him down and mailing him to nicaragua!"
"yeah, let's pray that little demon stays good," hugo said, grabbing his wallet. "come on. let's go."
as they left the dorm, hugo glanced at his phone, feeling a pang of dread.
he scrolled through the farewell messages he'd scheduled earlier—mostly to his family and a few close friends. then he saw the one he'd sent to sanchez.
thirty minutes later, hugo was still leaning, now slumped over and glaring at the entrance like it owed him money.
collins was checking his watch every five seconds, and hugo's mind was spiraling into chaos.
'did they forget? did they get hit by a truck? wait, what if they're testing us? like some kind of loyalty challenge? or what if their little brother locked them in a closet? honestly, i wouldn't put it past that gremlin. i bet he's laughing right now, eating cheetos and plotting my doom.'
suddenly, hugo's phone buzzed. he grabbed it, praying it was a message from the twins.
instead, it was a text from an unknown number: 'emergency. you're not ready for what's coming. sincerely, d.j.'
hugo froze. "oh no. it's him."
collins glanced at him. "you good, bro? you look like you're plotting world domination or a prison escape."
"i'm just... strategising," hugo muttered, though his inner monologue screamed: 'i'm in trouble! they've found me!'
but then he remembered that he might not even survive till the next morning and all his worries disappeared.
"neither," hugo said, standing up straight. "we're going to survive this night, collins. no matter what this psychopathic world throws at us."
collins smirked. "that's the spirit. let's just hope it doesn't come in the form of a stand up."
they both looked toward the entrance, bracing themselves. and as the minutes ticked by, hugo's inner thoughts only grew wilder. where are they?!
