Orm's POV
Another random day at college. But today, Lingling felt like a magnet, pulling my attention like never before. I kept stealing glances at her from across the room. Even with her head buried in her notebook, she looked... incredible. There was something so effortlessly captivating about her, especially when she was so serious about her studies. It was sexy, and I could feel my heart racing just watching her.
Lingling must've felt my gaze because, now and then, she'd look up and give me this soft, shy smile, which only fueled the flutter in my chest. She was... addictive. And that kiss we'd shared kept replaying in my mind. I wanted nothing more than to feel that again. It was like discovering a side of myself that only Lingling could unlock.
After class, I made sure to catch up with her before she could slip away. "Hey," I said, giving her a playful nudge. "Got a few minutes? Let's head up to the rooftop."
She nodded, and a small, knowing smile crept onto her face. That boldness from last time was still there, lingering just beneath her shyness. It was thrilling.

On the Rooftop
Lingling's POV
The rooftop was quiet, and the breeze felt calming as I stood beside Orm, my heart beating faster with each second. I could still feel the taste of our last kiss, and the thought of it made me want to be close to her all over again. Somehow, Orm felt like more than a friend, more than anyone else had ever been.
Orm turned to face me, her expression soft but intense, as if she was fighting to find the right words. "So... I've dated a few people before," she began, her voice low, almost hesitant. "But with them, it was never... serious. I was never head over heels, you know? I didn't think I could feel that way about anyone." She laughed a bit, almost shyly, and looked at me with this raw, vulnerable honesty. "But with you, Lingling... it's different. It's like every day I'm falling deeper, and I don't even want to stop."
Her confession sent a rush of warmth through me, and I felt myself smile, a blush creeping up my cheeks. "Orm, I... I've never been in love before. I don't know what it feels like, but... being with you feels special. It feels like maybe... this is what I've been missing."
Orm's eyes sparkled, and she took a step closer. "You're perfect, you know that?" she whispered, her hand reaching up to tuck a loose strand of hair behind my ear. "And that kiss? It was like nothing I've ever felt." She paused, her lips quirking up into a playful smirk. "Are you sure you've never kissed anyone before? Because you're... amazing."
Her words made me feel bolder, something I'd never felt with anyone else. I looked up at her, meeting her gaze with a newfound confidence. "Maybe I just had the right person to make it perfect," I teased, my heart pounding as I closed the space between us.

Orm's POV
Lingling's words hit me like a wave, and before I knew it, my lips were on hers, deeper this time. I could feel the intensity, the warmth, the unspoken connection between us. And wow-Lingling kissed back with a fierceness I wasn't expecting. She was bold, confident, like she knew exactly how to take my breath away.
When we finally broke apart, both of us were breathless, and I couldn't help but laugh in sheer amazement. "Lingling... I don't think anyone's ever kissed me like that," I admitted, slightly in awe. "I don't know where you've been hiding all this confidence, but... I'm impressed."
Lingling just grinned, looking at me with a sparkle in her eyes that was both shy and daring. "Maybe I'm just learning from the best," she murmured, her fingers lacing through mine. There was something intoxicating about this side of her, this blend of shyness and newfound boldness, and I felt myself falling even harder.
