Chapter 2: Stolen First Kiss!

Kim was greatly appalled!

Her heart raced while her eyes stretched into wide circles for seconds. Then, she felt a prickling sensation shot up her spine, making her shut her eyes. His warm lips gave her a strange feeling that made her lost for a moment.

As the kiss became deeper, she felt as though everything had stopped.

When she came back to her senses, she struggled and pushed the man on his chest using her right hand. However, her strength was no match to his. He held her hand as he hugged her tighter.

"W-What's the meaning of this?" She heard a shaky voice of a woman ask. Then, heavy footsteps walked away.

The man continued to kiss her for some time while her mind was telling her to do something.

She struggled again and pushed him with all her strength. When the man finally released her, she didn't waste any second, she slapped him hard on his face!

"How dare you!" She yelled at him, breathing deeply as her heart was still hammering in her chest. Her body was trembling. She could also feel that her cheeks were flushing in rage. She was so mad that he stole her first kiss!

The man touched the corner of his lips, staring profoundly at her.

Kim swallowed dryly as she stepped back. She was afraid of the way he looked at her. But she was surprised when he took something out from his pocket.

"I didn't mean to. Here's my card. Contact me for any compensation that you want." The man uttered coldly, handing her a business card. He put it on the bedside table when she didn't move to get it. Then, he turned and left without waiting for her reply.

She couldn't believe her ears! 'Is it so simple for this man to kiss a random woman and leave just like that? How could I let it slide? It was my first kiss!' She grumbled in her mind, ignoring the business card that the man laid on the table.

The man was already one step away outside the door. And before he could finally leave, she shouted, putting her hands on her waist. "Wait! You didn't mean to? Huh!" She paused, trying to calm herself. "Do you think you can buy everything with your money? I'll sue you for trespassing and sexual assault!" She threatened, totally forgot that she only had a towel covering her body. 

"Do as you please, but dress yourself first before you go to the police station," He responded sarcastically without turning his head. 

Kim was astounded. It was the only time she remembered that she wore nothing under the towel. She swiftly rushed to the door and closed it.

Bang!

Leaning on the door, she tried to convince herself, "Kimmy, you better forget what happened. It was only a bad dream. Yes, it's a bad dream."

She shut her eyes, taking several deep breaths until she calmed down. However, she could still feel his warm lips on hers that she unconsciously touched them as she fell into trance. She remained standing, thinking of the man's exquisite face.

After some time, she shook her head and chased the thoughts away. She let out a heavy sigh before she walked to the closet and got clothes to wear. She wore black loose shirts over a pair of ripped jeans and a trucker cap.

Her phone rang twice, but she had no time to answer. She needed to rush to the West City before it got dark.

After fifteen minutes, she was good to go. She picked up her backpack after she put on her white sneakers. Then, she glanced at her phone to see who was calling her earlier.

"Catherine?"

Catherine was the cousin of her friend and the owner of the condo unit she was staying in. She used to live there when she was still studying. So after she graduated last year, no one was occupying the unit anymore.

They became friends even though they only met once, the day when she handed her the keys. They had a little talk while unpacking her things and got along easily. Perhaps it's because Catherine was only a year older than her. They found each other with so many things alike. One of such was, they both liked Arts but took a different course in college.

Since then, Cath used to call her to ask if she needed anything or just to have a little chit-chat with her. She also offered to help her to search for her dad but she strongly refused, telling her that letting her stay in her condo was a huge help already. 

She smiled as she guessed that she wanted to talk to her again about her lover. She was about to call her back but she changed her mind when she noticed the time.

"Haist, I'll call her later when I get back," She said to herself as she leisurely walked to the door.

However, as soon as she opened the door, she was startled at the sight that welcomed her.

The man who barged into her room and stole her first kiss was still standing outside her door as though he's waiting for her to come out.

"W-Why are you still here?" She asked as she knitted her brows together, acting to be brave even though her heart was pounding hard deep inside.
