Gabrielle narrated her story on how Kenji touched her waist during the introductory video for the hide-n-seek challenge. Troy clenched his fist in anger while Trevor crossed his arms against his chest, leaning against the closet door in Troy��s room.
��I felt weird and pushed his hand away. Then I scooted over to Trevor,�� Gabrielle said and sat on the bed. ��Hernan never touched me there. Even if he did, his touch always felt friendly.��
��Even the first time when Kenji came to the mansion, he pulled me into a very uncomfortable hug. He placed his hand on my wai���� Danica was interrupted by Troy.
��Yeah, so I was correct. He did touch you inappropriately, but why didn��t you tell me at that time?�� inquired Troy. ��I thought I might be over-thinking.��
��I didn��t think much about it until now,�� Danica explained to him. She was sitting on the couch, so she subconsciously took an emoticon pillow and placed it on her lap. ��How should we find out whether he is gay or not?��
��This is complicated,�� Trevor mumbled and took a seat next to Danica, while Troy sat on the bed, next to Gabrielle.
Gabrielle placed her hand on her cheek, thinking of an idea until one popped into her mind. ��I have got an idea to find out his real preference.��
��What?�� asked Trevor and Danica at once.
Troy scanned his sister��s face and immediately shook his head in denial, understanding what was going on in her mind. ��No way in hell.��
Gabrielle arched an eyebrow, an innocent look taking over her, batting her eyes at her brother. ��Why? It��s only flirting.��
��What the fuck do you mean by that?�� Trevor asked confusingly.
��You want to flirt with Kenji?�� Danica breathed out.
Gabrielle nodded her head and said, ��Not you, it��s we. Since he touched both of us in the wrong way, we both should flirt with him and figure out whether he reacts to it or not.��
��I cannot and will never agree to that,�� Troy responded.
��Exactly.�� Trevor supported him saying, ��Who would love to watch their girlfriends flirting with another man? I treat Dani as my sister, and I cannot watch my girlfriend and my sister flirt with another man, that too with the one who isn't even a good person.��
��Therefore, drop that idea of yours, Gab,�� Troy advised her, and she looked at Danica with hope.
��No, no.�� Danica shook her head. ��I suck at flirting.��
��I will give you tips,�� Gabrielle said to her, and Danica decided to give a thought about it.
��Don't even consider that idea, Dani. It��s trash,�� Troy said to Danica. ��You are not flirting with anyone else and nor is my stupid sister.��
��Why, Troy?�� Gabrielle looked at him, and they began bickering.
��But I might gain experience and use it on Troy,�� Danica mumbled under her breath thinking of Gabrielle��s plan. Even though she said it in a low tone, Trevor, who was sitting next to her, snapped his head in her direction, raising his eyebrows in amusement.
Danica was serious about her relationship with Troy, and it made Trevor happy. But that didn��t mean he would agree to his girlfriend��s plan, so he cleared his throat and said to Danica, ��Snap out of your fallacy.��
Danica flinched at the sudden voice and glared at Trevor realizing he listened to her. ��I will pretend you didn��t hear me so you should do the same.�� With that, she looked at the twins arguing.
��This is the only way. You and Trevor cannot flirt with him to figure out whether he is gay or not. Hernan will get jealous, but if we, girls flirt, Hernan will not get jealous because he thinks his boyfriend is gay,�� Gabrielle reasoned out.
Troy spoke up when something hit his mind, ��Well, what if he is bisexual?��
��Whatever he is, we have to find out, Troy,�� Danica decided. Troy looked at her. ��If we don��t find out, we can never figure out whether he locked me in the theatre room on purpose or not. We won��t understand whether he got close to Hernan to take revenge from you or not.��
��I don��t understand one thing,�� Trevor let out. ��Why does he want revenge from Troy? What did you even take from Kenji?��
��The fame,�� Gabrielle answered. ��They started making videos on WhyNTube at the same time and Troy got the fame but Kenji didn��t.��
��That is because he always copies Troy��s ideas and tries to insult him, which resulted in people who are Troy��s fans, to hate him,�� Trevor let out. ��It��s basically jealousy.��
��He was always jealous of Troy and tried to harm him in high school too,�� Danica started, ��Remember during the basketball match? Troy became the captain instead of Kenji.��
��I think this is why Kenji wants to harm Dani as well,�� Troy said, connecting all the dots. ��Dani got the fame even if it was by accident. Kenji never got that much fame even after so long.��
��So basically, he wants fame and wants to defame my brother,�� Gabrielle concluded, ��He is using us and Hernan to get popularity.��
��We have to expose his true intentions to Hernan and throw him out of our lives. The end,�� Danica announced. ��For that, it is necessary to find he is gay or not, because if he is gay, it will be tougher to gather proof against him and if he is not, it will be a little bit easier.��
��He came here through after meticulous planning. He dated Hernan before moving in, so he knows a lot about us,�� said Trevor, ��So we have to go with this plan at first to figure out his preference.��
��Troy,�� Danica mumbled, glancing at him with an innocent look��something Troy couldn��t resist.
Troy closed his eyes, letting his shoulders slump in defeat. ��Fine. But we will be watching both of you.��
��How can we flirt when the two of you are wa���� Gabrielle tried to protest but Trevor cut her short.
��Be grateful for what you have, love.��
___
After having lunch with everyone, Kenji was sitting on the terrace on one of the beanbags, checking something on his iPad. To be more specific, he was checking the comments in his latest video of the hide-n-seek challenge.
On the other hand, Danica was wearing a sleeveless floral summer dress that reached up to her mid-thigh and showed off her bare legs pretty nicely. She had a plate full of freshly baked chocolate cookies in her hand. Gabrielle gave her tips on flirting, and she decided to give it a try first since Trevor took Hernan out. Gabrielle wouldn��t flirt without Trevor watching because it was a condition given by the boys; to flirt only when they are watching them.
Troy and Gabrielle were with Danica, deciding to watch her. Troy was about to take another cookie from the plate to eat but Danica pulled the plate away, glaring at him.
��Come on, you never baked these for me,�� complained Troy, crossing his arms against his chest.
Danica rolled her eyes. ��You already ate five of these after I baked them. If you continue eating like this, I have to take an empty plate to Kenji.��
Gabrielle smiled seeing them. She was happy that destiny gave these two another chance to be together.
��Bu���� Troy was interrupted by Gabrielle.
��Stop it, two of you.�� She pushed Danica slightly. ��Go to that asshole and feed him cookies.��
Hesitantly, Danica walked to Kenji with the plate of cookies and that was when Troy realized, ��Wait, what? Feed him cookies?��
Gabrielle grinned and said, ��Just watch, brother.��
Danica cleared her throat to let her presence be known to Kenji. ��Mind if I join?��
Kenji smiled and said, ��No problem. Please take a seat.�� He motioned for her to sit on the beanbag next to his, where Troy and Danica used to sit at night discussing the video ideas. After she sat, Kenji asked, ��What��s up, Hazel? How are you feeling?��
��I am feeling better than before,�� she responded and extended the plate of cookies in front of him. ��I baked these. Wanna try?��
He was about to take it but paused. ��As much as I want to have it, I decided to diet so too much sugar can cause harm.��
If he denies, force him to eat, but be cute so he doesn��t get angry, Gabrielle��s words echoed in Danica��s mind.
��But I made these for you since we couldn't greet you in a proper way. Why don��t you just have one?�� She placed the plate on the small coffee table in front of her and took one cookie. ��Let me feed you.�� With that, she put one in Kenji��s mouth, which he ate, his brown eyes staring at her beautiful face.
��Just what the fuck is going on?�� Troy murmured, clenching his fist. ��Why did you teach her this?�� he asked.
Gabrielle feigned innocence. ��What��s wrong, brother? Are you getting jealous because of your fake girlfriend flirting with a gay, who might also not be gay?��
Troy narrowed his eyes at Gabrielle, who smirked. ��You didn��t do the right thing. Wait till Trevor comes and watches you flirt with him.��
She didn��t answer him and continued watching Kenji��s moment with Danica.
��So... how is it?�� Danica asked Kenji after an awkward silence covered the terrace.
Kenji munched on his cookie and gulped it. Then he answered, ��It is delicious.�� He took the plate on his lap and started to eat more cookies after keeping his iPad on the table. ��I will make it a cheat day for you.��
Troy mentally cursed Kenji innumerable times for deliciously munching on the cookies his girlfriend made. Fake girlfriend, he reminded himself.
Danica looked at the iPad and said, ��What were you checking?��
Kenji followed her gaze, which was on the iPad. He replied to her, ��Oh, I was checking the comments on the challenge we did. I am receiving nice comments and plenty of views. It is good for my channel.��
��Good to know,�� she said with a warm smile. ��How did you do the outro though? Hernan handed me the prize money which I gave him back.��
��I told them in the end that you got injured so you couldn��t do the outro and Hernan handed you the money. Why did you return the money though?�� questioned Kenji.
Danica laughed at his question. ��Hernan came with a cute puppy eyes look to hand me the money. I felt so bad for him and I had nothing to do with that money. Thus I gave it back to him and told him to spend it wherever he wanted to.��
Kenji chuckled. ��He can be so crazy and stupid.��
��Yeah���� she trailed off.
��Thanks for the cookies though,�� he said after finishing all of the cookies. He took his iPad. ��Do you want to see the hide-n-seek video I uploaded on WhyNTube?��
��Sure,�� she said, and Kenji got slightly closer to her to show her the video on his iPad.
They watched the video together.
Meanwhile, Troy was wondering why Danica was laughing with him and sitting so close to another guy. She was his girlfriend, fake or not. He hated to see her feeding someone else but him. He hated the fact that she baked chocolate cookies just for flirting with Kenji. She did everything for everyone, but did she ever care for me? with that thought, Troy punched on the wall all of a sudden, making Gabrielle flinch.
��Tr���� Gabrielle stopped midway when she watched her brother walk away quietly, without uttering another word.
