Sianne's pov
"What do you think it means? I mean he wouldn't just kiss anyone, right? Cause I mean I wouldn't! I keep thinking that he's probably making fun of me, but at the same time I can't stop hoping that he might like me! Right? Hello? Are you there?" Sianne couldn't stop babbling, her heart beat was probably going one hundred miles an hour. The first thing she did was call her friend Ally the moment Kleigh left a while ago.
"Well, I would talk but I didn't feel I have to because you keep talking!" Sianne could imagine Ally rolling her eyes.
"Sorry..." Sianne couldn't help it. It was the first time she felt like this, it was as if it was just a dream. Kleigh was handsome, with his blonde hair and blue eyes. He had the masculine look but when he smiles, he looks boyish. She knew that she wasn't bad looking, it was just that she was afraid. What if he found out who I am? He'll probably never talk to me again. Sianne sighed, her giddiness going away.
"Sianne?! Are you spacing out on me? Just tell me and I'll hang up." Ally asked sarcastically and it was Sianne's turn to roll her eyes.
"I'm sorry okay?" Worry filled Sianne's voice and Ally couldn't help but sigh.
"Okay, but what are you thinking about? He might like you so I say just go for it!" Sianne wasn't sure about that, her friend had had her experience and she was smart and confident. She was too, except when it comes to her "relationship" with Kleigh.
"I don't know, it's a long story, okay?"
"Then make it short."
"He's the Kleigh Benner."
"Ha ha, like that tells me everything. " Sianne gave an exasperated sigh and told Ally the whole story about her father and her father's business partner's deal concerning their merging. Ally just kept saying "uh, huh" and "okay" the whole time. After she was done, Sianne thought that Ally fell asleep on her.
"Al? You there?" The next thing she knows Ally was screaming as if her butt was on fire. "Ally! Ally! What in the world? Stop screaming!"
"Oh my god! That is so cute! You guys are destined to be together!" Sianne laughed, Ally could be such a romantic sometimes. "What do you suggest I do?"
"Just ask him why he did it."
"No, I meant about me knowing who he really is. He thinks my name is Sarah."
"Tell him Sianne, he should understand. Tell him you're sorry for playing investigator."
"Ha. Ha. Very funny!" Sianne knew that Ally was right and the next day, she was planning on telling him. It's only right,

Kleigh was today's last day. it was already wednesday and he had to get back the next morning to New York. He was excited and for the first time in a long time, he was happy. He was already at the University, he was about to head down to the Dean's office when he saw Sianne. He walked towards her but since her back was turned, she didn't know he was there yet.
"Hey." Sianne turned around at the sound of his voice and he instantly took in her look. Her hair was in a bun still and she was wearing blue jeans, a white fitted shirt with white converse.
"You like your converse don't you?" She gave him a confuse look and looked down at her shoes.
"Oh, yeah, they're comfortable." She gave him a smile.
"So, what are you planning on doing today?"
"My class got cancelled this morning so I was planning-" Sianne didn't get to finish her sentence because Kleigh already took her hand and started walking out the building. At the parking lot, Kleigh went straight to a black bmw convertible and opened the passenger door for her.
"Get in." He told her, and she obliged. Kleigh went to the other side and got into his seat.
"Uh, can i ask you something?"
"What?" Kleigh saw hesitation in Sianne's eyes. "What are we doing? I mean, it's not like you like me, you made that pretty clear a thousand times, I mean maybe not a thousand but you made clear enough for me to understand. And why did you kiss me? The first time I understand but-"
"Woah, stop. Alright? I kissed you because I find you beautiful. " Kleigh looked into her eyes and touched her cheek.

Breath, breath! Gosh! Why is it so hot in here?! Sianne said to herself, hyperventilating.
"Are you okay?" Kleigh asked her chuckling removing his hand.
"What do you mean?" Sianne asked dumbly.
"Well, I was trying to say I like you. I think I started liking you the first time I saw you at the roof top. " Kleigh looked so sincere and Sianne's brain shut down. She didn't know how to reply so she started laughing.
"Ha ha What? That is hillarious! You're so funny." Sianne held her stomach and laughed louder.
"okay, that's enough it's not that funny." Sianne saw Kleigh getting embarrassed and sobered up, she cleared her throat and suddenly felt really stupid. She looked down and started playing with the hem of her shirt.
"um, I'm sorry. I like you too." She said almost a whisper. She couldn't help it but she started blushing. She didn't dare look at him so she sat straight and decided that looking out the window was much better. She felt his hand hold her and she felt like melting, the tingling sensation coming back.
"I won't force you, you know."As soon as Sianne faced him, she felt a tug at her heart. The corner of his lips was lifted upward but his eyes looked sad. Sianne held his hand. "It's not that, It's just that I'm new at this." She smiled looking up to him. "I mean you gave me my first kiss. If that's not embarrassing, I don't know what is." She looked down, blushing.
Kleigh tugged at her hand so she would look at him. "Hey, that's not embarrassing. I'm happy I gave you your first kiss, because I don't think I could take it knowing that somebody else got to kiss you before i did." He smiled at her and cupped her cheek with his right hand. He traced his thumb on her lower lip before giving her a quick kiss on the lips. Sianne smelled his minty breath. His lips were warm and she felt butterflies in her stomach.
"Well, aren't you getting ahead of yourself." She pretended to be angry after he let go, but she couldn't help smiling.
"Of course, that's just the start. I am your first boyfriend after all." With that, he winked at her and brought the car to life.
