part two ✌️ where they kiss

___________________________________

i was sitting at this table watching everyone from afar. my parents wanted me to come to a perfume event with them, so obviously i agreed. however, there wasn't anyone i knew there. everyone looked.. kinda mean. there was this one girl who bumped into me and laughed but walked away after seeing my dad talk to me.

!!FLASHBACK!!

boom. i got bumped into the counter as i was looking through my phone. "oops..." the girl said. she smirked and looked me up and down. "sorry. are you lost? i don't think you're familiar with this place or anyone in here." she laughed. i just stared at her in complete silence. "hey, y/n. if you want to, you can always visit me and your mom at the stage." my dad walked up to me and said. i smiled and nodded. "i'm fine here. i'd like to get familiar with this place."
the girl scoffed and walked away as me and my dad watched her. "do you know her?" he asked.
"no, but i don't know why she acted like she knew me."

!!END OF FLASHBACK!!

i checked my phone and saw a notification from ricky. 

ricky: hey where are you?

y/n: at this stupid perfume event with my parents.

ricky: you should sneak out

y/n: it's not that easy trust me 🥲

ricky: what if i were there?

y/n: i would be REALLY nervous

ricky: yeah.

y/n: why?
 
that was strange. i stared at my phone wondering what that text was about. "hey!" my mom touched my shoulder. i looked at her in shock. suddenly, cameras started flooding me. "this is my daughter, y/n!" she smiled at them. i nodded and smiled the same way she did. "tell us more about yourself, y/n."
i completely froze. i wasn't used to being surrounded by a bunch of unknown people with their focus on me. "i- uh..." i stuttered and prayed that this would soon be over. "well i like to.."

"ladies and gentlemen." a loud voice entered the room. the cameras turned to them and there weren't lights blinding me anymore. i tried seeing who it was but failed. "why would you be wasting your time at an event like this? when you could be shopping and complimenting your appearance, not just your scent, at shen's closet?" i recognized that name. the shen family. is that why ricky messaged me that?

the cameras moved out of the way and created a pathway for the shen's. i wanted to squeeze myself into a corner where no one could see me. they started making way and then i saw ricky. he was wearing a black button up and black jeans. i was confused. why were they here? did ricky lie and just wanted to make a fool out of me? i sighed and looked over to my dad who was doing the same thing.
"we see that all of your customers have done nothing but just smell perfumes and hang out with each other. now what type of event is that?"
"a perfume one... look can you guys just let us live and do your own thing without trying to bring us down?" my dad looked stressed out.
"i'm sure we can talk this out, right? after the event."
he tried to keep a friendly smile. everyone cheered and went back to doing their own thing while the shen's were still glaring at us.

"so, why did you decide to crash our event, mr. shen?" my dad offered them our fruit punch perfume which they rejected. we were all in a room that had displays of jewelry and artifacts. "we just felt like it."
my dad bursted into laughter. "what? you guys are funny." "we're being honest." mr. shen stated.
i looked at ricky who was obviously bored. he looked back at me and sighed.
"are you serious?" i walked out and heard my mom yelling: "y/n, what happened?"

i leaned against the wall and focused on my breathing. this is so weird. why is ricky acting like this all of a sudden? was this all a joke? was he just doing that for his family? i felt a tear fall down my face. i checked my phone and saw no new messages from ricky. why am i expecting so much of him? it hasn't even been a week.

just then, i heard someone's shoes. it sounded like they were running. "y/n?" it was ricky. i tried to control my breathing. "y/n." he called my name as he spotted me. i stared at the floor. "there you are." he walked up to me and smiled. his smiled dropped as soon as he saw my tears. "y/n? what happened?" he wiped my tears and had his hands on my cheeks.
"nothing." i laughed. "i was just being delusional."
"i'm serious. what is it?" his voice started to seem more colder and loud.
"nothing, i told you." i pulled his hands off of my face and looked to the side. "you can tell me, y/n. i'm your boyfriend." he said out loud. i looked at him.
"hey, don't just say that out loud." i lightly smacked him on the shoulder. he ignored it and continued asking me.

"fine. i thought you just became my boyfriend because of this." i avoided eye contact with him.
"because of what? because my parents wanted to crash your event? they're just like that. they don't like you guys." "i guess..."
he grabbed my head and made me face him.
"you know i love you, right? everything i said at the dance was true. i would never do anything to you."
he said. he looked into my eyes with honesty. i giggled. "yes. i'm sorry, ricky. i love you, too."
we both smiled and stared at each other.
"can you kiss me?" i asked. his eyes widened.
"m-me?" "yes, you, ricky" i smiled at his cuteness.
"kay..." he leaned in slowly and kissed me. butterflies filled my stomach and soon we were in each other's arms. i felt my face heating up second by second. i pulled away and looked at him. "let's head back to our family. we don't want them to think we're dating, right?" "our family? like, you're the wife and i'm the dad and we have kids?" he joked. i got flustered and walked away. "y/n! wait!"

HELP WHY DID I MAKE THIS SO DRAMATIC i cringed extra hard rereading this
