"Nami!" It was Ramya calling out from the lower level of the house. It was too early in the morning on a Saturday for her to wake up.

"Stop, Ramya," she mumbled, hiding her face into the pillow, shutting out the excited voices in their housing unit. What in the world were the two girls so excited about?

Excited footsteps combined with squeals got louder, and the next thing she knew, her door was opened loudly, and the two girls barged in. "Nami, look."

"Go away, you two. I'm sleepy." She had been sleeping like a log the past few days, especially after she started training in the boxing ring. Her muscles were sore, but the half punches she got on him were well worth it. She was yet to figure out how a guy with so much focus could escape punches even when blindfolded and yet caught hers?

"Nami, look at this package and the invitation," Ramya said, her voice squeaky like it gets when she is super excited.

"Is this for the party tonight?" Vasavi seemed to be in disbelief.

What was getting the girls worked up so much? Curious as to what the fuss was about, she pushed aside the pillow and looked at the girls. Ramya was holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers, and Vasavi held an envelope.

"The guy is crazy about you, Nami. The flowers are so beautiful, and he really wants you to go to the party." Ramya was smitten by the bouquet. "The way he looks at you, Nami. It's so sweet."

Looks at me? Enjoying her misery?

"Don't make everything so dramatic." Nami shook her head, and Ramya gingerly placed the flowers on her desk.

"You've got to be kidding me. The way he looks at you, every other girl gets hot around you guys," Vasavi teased.

Something popped up in her mind. She was right about him being distracted by her. Not every time, but there were certain moments. She didn't know when, but if the timing was right, she could get him to kiss her.

She let out a squeal, and the girls joined in, mistaking her excitement to be for her gift. Vasavi handed her the envelope. "A private message for you." She winked and went back to stand next to Ramya in anticipation. "What does it say?"

The girls were expecting a juicy message in the envelope, but she knew it would be yet again another taunting message. She slowly pulled out the card inside the tiny envelope, and she dropped the card when she saw what was written on it.

I want all your punches and kisses too!

"What the heck?" Why was the idiot playing with her?

Before she could pick up the card, Ramya dove in for a sneak peek of the message and grabbed the card. Her eyes widened when she read the message.

"What kind of making out are you two into? You beat up the boxer to get him hard?" Ramya's mind was out of control.

It was Vasavi's turn next to peek as she grabbed the card from Ramya's hand. "Ooh, sexy and sweet message. You two are so hot, and you are going to one of the most exclusive parties. And he wants all your kisses."

Tonight is the night to close the deal. To get him to kiss her.

She looked up at her swooning roommates still admiring the flowers. "Girls, I need your help."

They both screamed at the same time. "We thought you'd never ask," they said in unison.

"I want to look good," Nami said and added with a wicked twist, "So good he should not be able to resist me." She winked, making her girls gasp in shock. They had never heard Nami talk that way, and their expression made her laugh. "Can I borrow one of your dresses?"
