Never been kissed

The bench girl

Rebecca was a 22-year-old college student.
The Thai-British girl chose the University of Exeter to upgrade her knowledge despife her father's attempts to convince her to go to Oxford.
Being the youngest child of the Armstrongs, the blonde lived a hectic life because of her father's constant changes at work.
The family  lived in Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, France and England.
Rebecca moved from one country to the other several times throughout the years.
Even though the stunning girl used to be introverted, she got used to making new friends everywhere. Even if they were formed by a small number.
The blonde was on her second year at the university and she enjoyed playing sport with her colleagues in the Campus park whenever they had free time.
That sunny morning, the Thai-British saw a pretty girl sitting on a bench nearby.
It was the third time Rebecca noticed the brunette sitting on the same spot that month.
Curious, the 22-year-old handed the ball to a friend and grabbed a bottle of water near her bag.
Walking confidently, the student realized the cute stranger was lost in her own world while holding a sketchbook.
Grinning warmly, Rebecca approached the stunning dark-haired female:
__ Hi there. I'm Becca. Sorry to interrupt, but I noticed you come here often and stay alone. Would you like to play with my friends and I?
Taken aback, the brunette smiled shyly before responding:
__ Oh, Nice to meet you. I'm Freen. Thank you for the offer. But I'm afraid I have to decline it. I'm not good with sports.
__ Why, Freen? I can teach you. It's an easy game.__ The blonde pouted.
The other female seemed to feel bad for turning down the offer.
Despite that, Freen commented:
__ I'm too lazy and clumsy for that. See, I'm more of a cafe person. I like to paint, draw, produce art in general. Or sit at a coffee shop to enjoy some snack and a good talk.
Rebecca's eyes lit as she asked:
__ Can I see your drawing? I mean...if it's not invasive from my part.
Slightly blushing, the stranger hesitated before handing her the sketchbook.
__ Please, don't get too disappointed. It's more like a hobby.
__ Don't worry. I can't even draw a circle. Who am I to judge. Oh my God, Freen! This is pure art!__ The 22-year-old suddenly shouted with excitement.
Looking around with embarrassment, the dark-haired female protested:
__ It's just a sketch...
__ I beg to differ. You drew my friends and I playing volleyball from a distance. In details. What else have you got here?__ The Thai-British turned the page and froze.
Even more embarrassed than before, Freen tried to explain:
__ Listen, I'm not stalking you! Okay? I made this other drawning last Thursday. I was sitting on that bench near the stairs and I saw you talking to someone. Your pose inspired me to try a new technique.
Beaming, the blonde exclaimed:
__ Damn! You're freaking talented! I'm so impressed.
Skeptical, the cute brunette murmured:
__ Aren't you suspicious of me or something?
__ Why would I be? I can see you picked a casual pose. It's not like an obsessed fan. Thank you for making me look so beautiful.
Freen blushed hard after murmuring:
__ I had to make zero effort for that. I mean...look at you.
Rebecca checked the girl out and smirked.
" How can she be so shy and still get game? Such a good flirt!"
__ So Freen, what do you study here? Probably art, right?
Exhaling akwardly, the stranger shook her head.
__ I'm not a student. My father is working here. So I  come and enjoy the Campus view, breathe some fresh air. My family has moved a lot in the last years  It's hard for me to study and interrupt everything again and again. Plus, we spent too much money because of...stuff.
Rebecca noticed some pain in the brunette's facial expression and that affect her.
__ I see. Well, there are some ways to get a scholarship, you know? If you want, my father could try to talk to some folks.
Shaking her head vehemently,  the adorable girl refused.
__ It's very kind of you. But I really can't accept. As I said, my family moves a lot. We never know when this may happen again.
The university student nodded slowly while showing sorrow.
__ Alright then. Hey, would you like to have breakfast with me? I'm starving. And I'm eager to know more about you.
Surprised, Freen hesitated a little, which led Rebecca to believe she was worried about money.
__ It's on me, of course. You can eat as much as you want.
Laughing, the dark-haired female nodded.
__ I don't eat much. But we can still talk for a bit while you satisfy your hunger.
__ Alright then. Lemme just tell my friends I'm leaving.__ The gorgeous blonde beamed and ran back to her group.
Feeling butterflies in her stomach, Freen tried to calm down and not raise any kind of expectation toward the charming stranger.
The brunette was not used to socialize. So she was afraid of getting attached and being discarded soon.
Rebecca didn't take long to rejoin her.
The duo walked side by side to the Campus food court and the Thai-British mentioned a delicious pancake from one of the restaurants she was used to go.
The blonde pulled a chair for the taller one and waited to sit after her.
Enchanted by Rebecca's gentleness, Freen smiled widely, exposing her gums.
The student sighed to control the sudden heart acceleration.
Once they placed their order, the heiress of the Armstrong family tried to restart their conversation.
__ So, what else do you like apart from drawing, Freen?
Holding her chin to think about the question, the girl finally listed:
__ Art in general, dogs, music,flowers, the beach.
Grinning, Rebecca showed her dimples and said:
__ Although I have no knowledge about art, I love all the other things you mentioned. How many dogs have you got? Which is your favorite flower? And music style.
Freen found the blonde too cute for being so excited.
__ Unfortunately, I have no dogs. My father considers pets harmful for our health. Favorite flower? Hm...I love them all. But let's say...Tulips. I also love music in general. However, I have a weak spot for R&B.
The pale girl clapped her hands and exclaimed:
__ I love R&B too! My favorite flower is lilly. And I've got two dogs: Bon Bon and Boba.Let me show you their picture.
Freen leaned closer when the student turned the phone to her direction.
__ Awwwn! So cute! This one seems to be a well behaved phi. And the other, a little devil.
__ Wow! You read them in a second. Wanna meet and play with them someday?__ The 22-year-old invited.
Hesitant, Freen sighed and murmured:
__ Let's see. Maybe someday.
The Thai-British suddenly seemed to get more excited and suggested:
__ Hey, we could go to the beach on the weekend. What do you think?
Tense, the dark-haired female spoke shyly:
__ Ah, I'm afraid I can't. My father will not agree.
Frowning, Rebecca questioned:
__ I don't mean to be invasive but...how old are you, Freen? You don't seem to be underage. Why is your father so controlling?
Blushing again, the brunette faked a smile.
__ I just turned 23. I can see why you would have this opinion. The thing is...my father made a lot of sacrifices to keep us safe and fine. We went through hell for...reasons. He is a good man. Just extremely worried. Please, don't judge him for his excessive care.
Rebecca stared at those big brown mesmerizing eyes with tenderness.
Somehow, the new girl woke the need to be caring and protective in her chest too.
This time, the Thai-British slightly blushed while asking:
__ And do you have a boyfriend, P'Freen?
Laughing, the Thai girl made a funny face to reply:
__ Hell, no!
The student laughed to and insisted:
__ Why not?
The brunette lifted her eyebrow and declared:
__ Well, no one seemed to be into me. Besides...
The blonde raised her hand and exclaimed:
__ First of all, that's impossible! Look at you. Second, please tell me already! I hate suspense.
Freen giggled and shrugged:
__ I don't think I ever liked a guy.
Feeling the butterflies attacking her stomach, Rebecca dared to push a little more:
__ So you've had girlfriends? Is there someone in your life now?
The 23-year-old locked eyes with the gorgeous student before confessing:
__ No. I have nobody. I had no girlfriends either.
Shocked, Rebecca murmured:
__ What? But that means you...
Cutely embarrassed, Freen shared her secret:
__ Exactly! I've never been kissed.
__ Oh my God!__ The university student almost forgot to breathe.
Freen pouted and mumbled:
__ Please, don't tease me. This way, I will be so ashamed that I won't look at your face ever again.
Holding the girl's hand tenderly, Rebecca stated:
__ I don't mean to tease you. It's just...you are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. It's hard to believe no one flirted with you. How could people waste the chance to kiss those plump lips?
Freen's eyes were locked on Rebecca's and both felt a wave of electricity run though their bodies.
__ Erm...I think I gotta go. My father will look for me and get worried.__ The dark-haired one panicked.
Rebecca grabbed her hand again and smiled.
__ Oh no, you haven't eaten yet.  And could you give me your phone humber? I'd like to keep in touch.
After some hesitation, the mysterious girl nodded and asked:
__ Please, lend me your phone
Exhilarated, the blonde placed the device on the brunette's hand.
After saving her number, the brown-eyed girl gave Rebecca the phone back.
__ Oh, Freen Sarocha. What a cute name!
The older one blushed once again and bit her mouth not to smile too widely.
A waitress brought them their meal and the Thai-British melted while watching Freen's adorable facial expressions after tasting the food.
