{TEACH ME HOW TO KISS}
~MAYBELL COLLEGE~
Beads of sweat had gathered around Rose’s forehead, her words were stuck. She scanned her gaze around only to meet expectant eyes from all corner and that made her swallow into nothing.
“Rose….” Bluey called after a while as he was not getting any response from her.
“You should have some dignity and stand up” A voice came from behind. I’m hearing the voice, a smile crept at the corner of Rose’s lips.
🗣IT’S TWINKLE!!
“Propsing to my girlfriend publicly, what were you expecting? That she would jump into you arms with all of this $h|tty display. I thought you knew better but you’ve always been you, going after what belongs to me” Twinkle continued
“She is not yours!!” Blurt bellowed standing up, he was getting angry at the fact that Twinkle is about to ruin his proposal.
“She is mine” Twinkle retorted, wrapping his hand around Rose’s waist. He had that sly smile which pissed Bluey the more.
“She has feelings for me, right Rose?” Blurt turned to Rose who had a shocked expression on.
“In the garden, you said that your heart beat faster than normal when you are around me” He tried explaining further
“That…. that wasn’t for you, I…
Bluey’s face fell as soon as she said that
“Loser! You should quit going for what that isn’t yours” Twinkle said before leaving with Rose.
Bluey took a few step backwards, he was still in shock at the whole thing that had just transpired. Bit by bit, the students started leaving and slowly the crowd disperse.

~CLASSROOM~
“Rose” Ariel called for the umpteenth time and as expected, she got no reply. She had been trying to talk to Rose since she entered the class but she hasn’t been responding.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? You should talk to me at least. Are you mad at me?” She said turning Rose head to face her.
“Why would you push me to him? You were even among those people urging me to say yes” Rose said with a slight frown
“I was only trying to help a friend. It’s not bad if date the two hottest boys on campus. Just think about how great it will be to have them both dragging for you attention” Ariel replied.
“Definitely not me! Do you know the position you placed me in? I was stuck on what to say and thankfully Twinkle intervened…..
“Speaking of Twinkle, he didn’t get mad at you, did he? He was looking really pissed off. Who would see his girlfriend being proposed to by another maleand not her angry. I was expecting him to rain punches on Bluey” Ariel said
“You are really unpredictable” Rose rolled her eyeballs.
“Let’s go shopping, bills on me” Ariel proposed grabbing Rose hand. She gave her a pleading look, one she couldn’t resist.

~DINA’ S CAFE●3PM~
“I’ll take your orders sir” Nuella said with a smile as she attended to ine if the customers that just entered.
“I’ll have expresso” The man answered without even sparing her a glance. He was working on his laptop.
Nuella quickly got the coffee and returned back to the man. She placed it in front of him, the smile on leaving her face. The man took the cup and took a sip, he spat it out almost immediately
“What the hell is this!!?” He thundered attracting that attention of the other customers who were also in the cafe.
“An expresso” Nuella answered sounding unsure, she was a hundred percent sure she gave him what he ordered for.
“An espresso?” He repeated giving her a belittingly look
“That…that was what you ordered for” Nuella answered
“When did I order for an espresso? Do you have a problem with your ears? I said I needed a cappuccino and not this” He said throwing the cup away, the coffee in it poured on the floor.
“I am quite sure you said you wanted to have an espresso, I just….
“Are you still talking? Not wanting to take blames for the mistakes you made, you should apologize” He yelled cutting her off, he used his hand to hit her shoulder continuously as he was speaking.
“I didn’t make any mistake, I am quite sure you ordered for an espresso” Nuella still stood on her ground.
In anger,the man raised his hand to slap her but someone held his hand from behind. It was Alexander.
“What do you think you are doing? Let go of me this minute!”
“You should bring your voice down and stop disturbing the others” Alex said in an unusual calm voice.
“What!!? Who are you to tell me what to do?”
“Had he paid for his coffee?” Alex turned to Nuella who shook her head negatively
“Just get out, we have nothing to sell to you and no apology or tender. Just leave” Alex said in a commanding tone
“Just know that you just lost a customer” The man said taking his briefcase.
“You should get lost too” Alex snapped
“Thanks” Nuella said in a low voice
“Huh?” Alex pretended not to hear
“Thank you” She repeated causing a smile to spread on his face.

~YYP MALL~
“Haven’t you gotten enough?” Rose complained referring the the almost full shopping cart.
“Just a few more and we’ll leave. You should pick something for yourself too” Ariel answered, darting her eyes around the mall. Her gaze landed on a section of the mall and she dragged Rose with her, it is a lingerie section.
Her eyes caught a lingerie and she picked it and gave it to Rose.
“You should wear it on your first night with Twinkle, it will be so perfect for the moment” Ariel said
“I don’t wear things like this” Rose retorted giving it back to her.
“You are taking it and that’s final, I’m sure you would need it someday” Ariel winked causing Rose to roll her eyeballs.
They continued shopping, Ariel was doing the most, going from one section of the mall to another.
“You should pick something for yourself at least” Ariel said
“I’ll just take…..
Rose paused on her words as her gaze landed on a silver heels, she went for it immediately. Just as she meant to take it, another hand came for it.
“I saw it first” Beryl said
“And I took it first” Rose retorted
“Are you kidding me right now? Do you even have the money to pay for that?” Beryl folded her arms below her bust.
Rose checked the price tag and her eyes widened immediately, a satisfactory smirk appeared in Beryl’s face in noting her countenance.
“Just hand it over” She said
“Remember Rose, the bills are on me and not you. So, we are taking it” Ariel butted into the conversation. She collected the shoe and placed it in the cart.
“Let’s leave” She added walking away and Rose followed suite.
“I’ll be the one to crush you with my bare hands” Beryl said with gritted teeth

~MAYBELL COLLEGE●NEXT MORNING~
Ciara walked up to them(Twinkle and Rose) as soon as they got down from the car. She had a smile plastered on her face as she turned to face Twinkle.
“Can I have a word with you? In private” She said stressing on the word ‘in private’ while eyeing Rose.
Rose bit her bottom lips not knowing what to do; to leave or stay.
“Isn’t she Vince’s girlfriend? Is she close to Twinkle too?” She thought. She cleared her throat loudly as no response came from Twinkle who was on his phone.
“I’ll just leave…..
“You can’t have a word with me, there’s nothing to talk about” Twinkle cuts Rose off taking her hand before entering into the school fully.
“Are you going to class?” Rose inquired, as Twinkle entered the elevator with her, knowing fully well that he rarely attends classes.
“I have something to do at the principal’s office” He responded, Rose just nodded in understanding.
The elevator was moving up smoothly and then all of a sudden, a rumbling sound came and it stopped moving. The elevator got stuck.
“What is going on?” Rose said with her voice quivering, she was getting scared already. Twinkle pressed a button and a voice came from the other end.
“We are stuck in one of the elevators” He reported.
“We are working on it” The voice answered before it got disconnected.
The sound came again and this time the light in the elevator went off. Rose let out a scream, hugging Twinkle really tight.
“I’m scared” She whimpered
“I’m here okay?” Twinkle reassured her by wrapping his hand around her.
The light flickered and that have them the opportunity to see each other’s faces. His eyes met with her innocent and almost teary eyes and it trailed down to her lips which was moist. d@mn! It was just to hard for him to resist.
He held her by her waist, pulling her closer to him in the process. Her B-__-bs were pressing on his chest and her innocent eyes remained on his, she didn’t break the gaze.
Slowly, he leaned closer to her capturing her lips with his. It was just so slow, sweet and tender. He sucked on her bottom lips while his tongue explored deeper and deeper into her mouth.
It was gentle at first but it becomes more passionate, Rose wrapped her hand around her neck and the kiss deepen. She was obviously naive on the whole thing and soon she was out of breathe, he noticed and had to break the kiss.
“Why did you stop?” She questioned
“Huh?”
She leaned more closer, standing on her tip toe, she gave him a slight peck on his lips.
“Teach me how to kiss” She said with a cute pout.
