Chapter 72 72 Rebecca

"Hi it's me Rebecca, you are Gabriel right," Rebecca asked.

"N-No I'm Alex, how did you find my apartment did you track us down?" Alex asked clearly nervous.

"No I didn't, Gabriel told me the address," Rebecca said.

Alex turned around and looked at Gabriel who was chuckling on top of his bed, Gabriel smiled and walked towards the door.

"Hi Rebecca, so you really..." Gabriel stopped as he saw the men, he quickly shut Alex's door and ran inside.

"Who are those men, are we in trouble?" Gabriel asked.

"They are Rebecca's bodyguards, they came with me to my apartment because you told her where I live, why didn't you give her your address" Alex shouted.

*Knock Knock*

"If you guys don't want me here I can leave," Rebecca said as Gabriel opened the door.

"N-No you can come in, as long as those men stay outside" Gabriel whispered the last part.

"Thanks," she smiled as she walked inside, Max followed her while the men stood outside looking at Alex's apartment till the door was closed.

"Who are those men?" Gabriel asked immediately.

"They follow me around, it's my dad's order, except school" Rebecca spoke as she looked around.

"Gabriel, after today don't think of coming here ever again" Alex whispered to him.

"Your apartment is really nice, it's small but nice, I wish I can stay in an apartment like this" Rebecca said as she settled down on the chair.

The three boys were still standing as Rebecca sat down, even though it was Alex's house he was still nervous about staying in with Rebecca, and there were three boys and one girl, the men might burst his door any time.

"Don't worry about them, they can't do you guys anything, I thought you guys would have started playing already"

"So Rebecca why are you here, you guys can visit Gabriel's house, it's not far from here," Alex said with a smile.

"There is no need, we are already here right, so what do you want to do Rebecca," Gabriel asked.

"What were you guys doing, it's your house so I'll do anything," Rebecca said.

"We just woke up so we are free to do anything, what do you want to do, or are you with your helmet so we can go back to the game"

"Yes, it's in the car, give me a minute... Peter" Rebecca shouted and one of the men dashed into the room, luckily the door was opened or else he would have broken it.

"Which of the car did you keep the helmet for my game?" Rebecca asked.

"In the third car," he replied.

"Okay, please help me bring it," Rebecca said and the man dashed out immediately.

"In the third car...how many cars did you bring over here?" Alex asked.

"I don't know, maybe four or five, I told them not to follow me but they refused saying they can't let me out of their sight, I had no choice" Rebecca pleaded.

"You look beautiful," Gabriel said to her and she smiled brightly.

"Really... thanks" Rebecca blushed.

Rebecca was a petite girl with a slim figure, she covered her figure with an oversized sweater and black jeans.

She had black long hair and wore a glass that housed her big brown eyes.

The door opened again and one of the guards stepped in with Rebecca's Nova Online vr helmet fully boxed and covered, he unwrapped it and handed it to Rebecca.

The man stood there looking at the three of them, the boys couldn't look at him so they faced sideways and looked away, the man stepped outside and closed the door.

"I'm very sorry, my dad is overprotective," Rebecca said.

"If he's overprotective, why did you attend woodpine college, they are many good schools around the world, and I've never seen you in school which means they don't follow you to school," Alex said.

"I came here because of someone, and these men don't follow me to school because someone is looking out for me in school, I don't want everyone to find out my identity"

"You came here because of someone, is the person a boy or a girl," Gabriel asked.

"It's a girl, we were friends since childhood, though it took a lot of convincing my dad agreed to send me here"

"So one of our students is a guard undercover, that's cool" Gabriel smiled.

"How is that cool you bastard, when this is over I'm going to kill you and take the parts of your body to your parents" Alex whispered.

"So you are Max, you are younger than you look in that game," Rebecca said.

"Y-Yes I am," Max said, he was still fazed by the bodyguard incident because he was the first person to see them, he wanted to run away but the guards swooped in and caught him before asking of Gabriel.

"Do you want anything to eat or drink?" Alex asked.

"No thanks, I ate before coming, after the game if you guys are free, I can take you to my hotel, we can look around, we have everything there, a swimming pool, an arcade, a mini amusement park, everything," Rebecca said with a smile.

"Sure that sounds nice," Gabriel said.

"I'll pass..." Alex spoke.

"Me too" Max added.

"W-Why, but..." Rebecca was surprised that her offer was turned down.

Alex wasn't interested in going and Max was afraid that the men who came with her now who follow them.

"Guys what's wrong, don't you want to visit the hotel, Alex... Max" Gabriel spoke.

"I would go if those men stay away from us, especially that weird guy that grabbed me earlier" Max whispered so the men outside wouldn't hear him.

"We'll be at the hotel, they won't follow me around, don't worry, what about you Alex," Rebecca asked.

"Don't worry about me, I have to prepare, I'm leaving tomorrow to see my parents" Alex said.

"Okay," Rebecca said, her voice a little down, 'Why isn't he coming with us, these boys are too cute but Alex is the cutest of them, I've never been to a boy's house, I thought it would be messy but it's actually nice'

"Max, what about your helmet, we're going back to the game soon, after we cook and eat lunch," Gabriel said.

"It's in my apartment" Max replied.

"Cook and eat lunch...hope you are not thinking about eating in my house, I'm going to kill you" Alex whispered.

"My mum cooked a lot, I can bring for you guys if you want," Max said.

"Ohhh... that's better, a home-cooked meal, yes of course," Gabriel said with a smile and Alex nodded his head.

"Okay, I'll go..." Max stood up and stopped in his tracks, "Rebecca can you tell your men to go...you know...move a bit"

"They are not going to attack you, they made a mistake earlier because you were running away," Rebecca told him.

"What happened earlier, was he attacked?" Gabriel and Alex laughed as they looked at Max.

Max opened the door and the men who were looking around quickly turn their heads toward the door, the men stared at Max as he stepped out of Alex's apartment.

"Hi, I'm just going upstairs" Max muttered as he walked up the first stairs, immediately he faced forward and walked away quickly.

"Rebecca I haven't seen you around in school, what is your major?" Gabriel asked.

"Geography, what about you guys"

"Mathematics, both of us," Gabriel said.

Alex just sat down as Gabriel and Rebecca talked to each other, he didn't want to interfere because Gabriel said he's going to make her fall for him, though Gabriel is quite handsome Alex didn't believe a girl like Rebecca who has all she wanted who fall in love with Gabriel.

'After we give the plants back, the alchemist is going to make different potions, I'll stick around and buy so of them, and I still have two health potions that I forgot about when fighting the skeletons' Alex mumbled to himself.

The door opened the Max walked in, he carried his helmet along with two packages containing food for Alex and Gabriel.

Rebecca stood up from her chair to help him with the food, she gave it to Gabriel and Alex with a smile on her face and sat down on the chair as she waited for them.
