"Perv!" My hand lands his cheek real hard as soon as the kiss ended. The impact is so strong that it hurts my a wrist. I'm fuming in anger now. How can he just kiss when he wants to? Does he really think I'm that easy?

I hear the crowd gasping in shock, flabbergasted at my reaction. I scan through them and all my half sisters are there except for Joan. She must've walked away after seeing everything.

Some people are taking pictures and videos of us. I foresee that it will reach Facebook or Twitter in a few.

Shit. Why did I even slap him? What am I thinking? His kiss can even help my desperate situation but I blew it. Now his fans will add up to my bashers. Just great.

My index and middle fingers touch my lips. They're still throbbing from his kiss. My blood heats up under my skin.

There goes...

My very first kiss...

I hate you, Tony Green!

A lady's voice inside my head snorts and whispers at me, "Hate? Duh. You like it so much that you even responded to his kiss."

I argue with her, "Girl, you deserve some bad bitchslapping! I'm already pissed at my own reaction. Do you really have to rub it in?!"

Yes, our kiss was mindblowing and fantastic. Talk about a dreamy, hot first kiss. Damn! The bar is set ridiculously high here. He takes my breath away. Can other men kiss like that? I doubt.

Confusion and questions-demanding-answers fill my head. Everything's a blur. He must be teasing me? Or he's just testing the waters? Or he's playing me? But it felt so real and genuine as if he has true feelings for me. Is it love? Or not. Whoa, let's not jump into conclusions.

My brain grew more and more addle as I try to rationalize that kiss. It feels special. This is getting out of hand. It's time to stop overthinking. Why should I suffer theorizing his reason if I can just ask him directly?

"What's that for?" I feel a lump on my throat as I take a step back, his closeness is quite overwhelming for me. Found myself gasping as he takes a step closer in response.

"Looks like you like it. You even responded to my kiss." He smirks.

I roll my eyes. I hum to myself. Lalalalala, "No, I did not."

"Yes, you did." His voice is low and firm.

"No." I say. That tone is so fucking sexy.

"Yes. Don't deny it, 'cause I felt you enjoyed it. I did, too." He grins widely, showing his beautiful dimples. What a masterpiece.

"I did not. Just answer the question, damn it!" I snap, needing his answer badly. I don't like weird thoughts and speculations run a marathon inside my mind.

"My reason is..." He continues.

Is?

"S-seriously, Ash. I j-just want you to know t-that--"

That? This is killing me.

"--That you can trust me with that blank oath. I'll never take advantage nor abuse you." He let out the words immediately. Did he just stutter? The high and mighty Tony Green is nervous? Where's the confident guy earlier? He's still very sexy.

I clear my throat, smiling only in my head. "Didn't you just took advantage of me earlier? You kissed me without my permission."

"I'll ask you next time." Mr. Pure Confidence is back.
