Our First Kiss
Raihan's Perspective
I still remember that night in her hotel room during that season. I never expected her to be so bold after she'd had a few drinks… I was extremely happy with what had happened that night.
She was on top of me, obviously tipsy. I tried to gently push her off. I wasn't exactly aspiring to go to jail.
That earned me a scratch that lasted a few days. The masochistic side of me really liked it… too much for my dignity.
"Could you just stay still for a moment?!" she said firmly. So, I froze, not even flinching at the sting, what was I supposed to do when a pretty woman told me to stay still? Disobey?
Then she kissed me. Damn... she could've called me an idiot right then, and I would've thanked her for it.
She was surprisingly fierce... not that I complained. That left a bruise on my lower lip. She just licked it and smiled, clearly pleased with what she'd done.
...She looked pleased with herself.
I probably looked even worse.
Not because I was disheveled.
T
hat moment was the first and not the last we made out.
Still, the bruise stayed on my lip for a few days. I even got asked by my staff what happened to me. I made something up. I do remember the kiss fondly, the bruise. It sucked… Still worth it… I know. That sounded incredibly whipped.
Nessa’s perspective.
I don’t remember things as clearly as Raihan does. Maybe I had too much to drink. So what? But I do remember that he looked utterly pathetic, and happy. He had a bruised lip from our kiss. Do I feel regret? No. I really enjoyed kissing him. Huh? That if I licked his lip? Maybe… I don’t know. I do remember seeing him blush and cover his face like an overly embarrassed puppy. It was cute to see. If he didn’t tell you that… he was probably saving face. Anyways… I knew I loved him since that moment, but making a move on him was…
… as complicated as trying to catch a wild pokémon who actively refuses to be caught.
Was my catch worth it?
Every minute of the struggle.
