It was still my favorite place in the world, but I would rather die than let anyone know about it, so I scowled at him and said irritably, “You’re...late.”

Hailey shook her head. “You are such a grouch. You’re practically Helios, girl version.”

Kellion grinned. “I guess that makes me...MJ?” He looked at me, a shy expression on his face. “H-Hi Ms. Sunshine. I think I have a crush on you.” He fluttered his lashes.

MJ, seated across us, gasped. “That’s not like me at all!” But she was blushing while she said it. Beside her, Helios was still choking, probably out of disgust.

Kellion laughed. “Good as it is to poke fun at those two now and then, I don’t really have a shy bone in my body. I’m so much better at flirting.” He looked at me.

Oh. Wow. That smoldering look in his green eyes.

Next to me, Andreus whispered, “You really fell for that?”

His words made me jerk.

Oh shit, I actually did.

*head desk*

When I glanced back at Kellion and saw him smirking, I automatically kicked him under the table.

He grunted, but his eyes gleamed with wicked laughter. “It’s not my fault you can’t keep your eyes off—-”

Another hard kick.

Kellion winced. “That one was really hard,terataki.”

It was?I scooted close to him in concern, intent on checking whether his shin had started to show any signs of swelling. But then I caught him smirking again—-

Aargh.

Kellion laughingly blocked my kicks this time. “I can’t help it if you worry all the time about me.”

I growled.

“Don’t you have a feeling they’re acting like newlyweds,” Yuri murmured reflectively.

Helios nodded. “It does feel that way.”

I opened my mouth to protest but then Kellion was kissing me, his tongue slipping between my lips. When he pulled away, my head was spinning and it wasn’t just from lack of oxygen. Was it crazy, how it seemed to me like Kellion’s kisses felt hotter and hotter?

When our eyes met, I took my revenge, pointing to his eyes then mine.I see you now, Kellion Argyros. Don’t you forget it. I will always see you.

His cheeks flushed.

I laughed. Thank you God for giving me the cutest boyfriend in the world.

“Shut up,” Kellion grumbled.

I threw my hands up.I didn’t say a thing.

“One of these days, I’ll make you sing—-”

Because I was in a really good mood, I took a deep breath andsang.A few lines from an Ed Sheeran song because it was both the mushiest and prettiest I could think of.

When I opened my eyes, everyone had stunned looks on their faces.

“That,” Hailey said slowly, “gave mechills.”
