Gift

Rose stared at Ryan's reflection in the mirror and her eyes finally brightened. 

"I like this one. Quickly, take off those pants and wear those," Rose called out excitedly as she passed him a pair of slim black pants. 

It was a clean black turtleneck that made Rose so energetic. 

"Sure," Ryan nodded with a smile and started unbuttoning his pants without turning around. 

Ah! 

Rose quickly reacted and closed her eyes, turning around at the same time. 

"You didn't warn me again…" Rose complained, rubbing the redness off her cheeks.

It wasn't the first time he undressed while giving her this playful look. How could her mind stay sane when a set of perfect abs kept appearing in front of her. After a few times she already got used to seeing his chest but she was still not ready to watch his bottom half-naked. Rose didn't know what she would do if she saw something she didn't want to see yet. 

"Haha, you were talking so confidently. I thought you want to watch," Ryan explained in laughter. 

In the next second, she could hear the metal buckle of his belt hit the ground, making her blush again. She now knew for sure he was naked. 

"Are you sure you don't want to watch?" Ryan asked jokingly and she punched behind her, hitting his hard chest as a punishment. 

Au...

Too bad she was the one who suffered, her fingers hurt. 

"No, I don't want to," Rose muttered unhappily, massaging her knuckles. "If I wanted to, I would ask." 

Ryan didn't tease her anymore and instead quickly wore the pants she wanted and fastened his belt into them.

Although Rose wasn't actually hurt that much, when Ryan was done, he turned her around and picked the hand that she hit him with. "Does it still hurt?" he asked carefully. 

Rose wanted to say it didn't but with how caring he looked at her she nodded softly, looking at him pitifully, "Mhmm…" 

In response, he leaned down and left a small peck on her fingers, holding it as gently as he could. 

"How about now? It shouldn't hurt anymore," Ryan asked with a sunny smile. 

"Dummy, it doesn't work like that…" Rose smiled back to him, finding him silly but Ryan didn't accept the loss and tried again. 

"How it doesn't work? It's scientifically proven that if you kiss, the pain goes away. Let me try again," Ryan convinced and kissed her once again. "How is it now? Still hurts?" 

At that point, Rose didn't feel any pain but she still nodded, enjoying their banter, "Yup. Still nothing. I think your kisses don't work." 

"Ah! I know what I did wrong," Ryan exclaimed, grinning to himself. "I was simply kissing at the wrong spot." 

As he spoke, Ryan pulled on her hands and she fell into his honey trap. One would think he would be bored of kissing by now but Ryan still found new ways to steal one bite after another. 

Mhmm… 

Rose let out a warning moan but it sounded like a pleased purr as if a cat receiving belly rubs. They just finished one long session yet Ryan kept bringing back her memories. Her lips seemed to remember each move and reacted as if it was normal between them. 

The scariest part? She found out she didn't find it weird anymore. In her mind, she already chose him as her boyfriend so such behavior should be normal. 

Right?

She didn't really know anymore. 

The more time she spent with him, the more attached she got. It was only the second day yet she was already fine with kissing and hugging. When she realized that, she got a bit scared. 

What would happen after a few more days? A week or two? Will she be okay to go even further than that…? 

Thankfully, she didn't think any more than this as Ryan pulled her away at that moment and asked softly, "How about now? Is it better?"

"..." 

Rose couldn't find words to describe his shamelessness. If Ryan wanted to kiss her so much, he could just ask. Acting innocent, he played it as if he was helping her the whole time with no ulterior motives. 

She hesitated what to reply so he conveniently took her silence as a 'no' and replied on her stead, "I knew it. You need another dose to recover." 

Her eyes opened wide in surprise but it was too late, her waist already sized and lips stolen once again. She thought of resisting but her body didn't listen to her, acting totally on instincts.

"If it still hurts after this dose, then it must be broken." 

Ryan commented as he drew away from her and examined her hand with concern. She didn't let him trick her anymore and quickly announced while taking her hand away, "It doesn't hurt me anymore." 

"See, I told you kisses work," Ryan replied with a hidden smirk to which she pouted. 

"Bully," Rose called out upset. "You tease me all the time." 

Ryan didn't seem like he planned to defend himself and admitted, "Yes, but at least it's fun." 

She wanted to argue with that but he was right. There wasn't a moment she was bored since they met. Naturally, she wouldn't tell him that else he would tease her even more. 

"Don't worry," Ryan assured her before she responded. "My fifteen minutes are over. I just wanted to kiss you as much as I could before my time ran out." 

He showed her genuine happiness as he smiled. How could she be mad at him when he was like that? 

"Alright. Show me your outfit," Rose ordered, returning back to normal. "From now on no more kisses and only shopping, okay?" 

"Yes, Ma'am," Ryan agreed with a salute and spun for her. "How is it?" 

Rose gazed at him seriously, turning on her fashion expert mode. 

"Hmm, let me see…" 

She looked from each angle, turning him left and right. She showed a satisfied expression on her face but something was still lacking for her. 

"It looks good but let's try putting the turtleneck inside your pants. Your belt is better uncovered," Rose quickly decided and began helping him, tucking it for him. "Don't move." 

Rose moved without overthinking much but just when she was at his front, she happened to glance at his face and saw his smile. Her gaze returned to her hands and she realized how dirty she looked.

She was literally reaching out towards his crotch. 

"Cough…" Rose cleared her throat, trying to hide her embarrassment and acted as if nothing happened. Only when she finished the job did she withdraw her hands. 

She couldn't really blame him for that so she didn't react. She didn't want him to think she is dirty, thinking about naughty stuff all the time. Fortunately, Ryan didn't comment. Either he didn't notice or pretended he didn't. Both worked for her. 

"I think it's great," Ryan muttered looking at himself in the mirror but he didn't receive confirmation as Rose ran out of the changing room. "Wait a moment." 

Ryan was left alone. He wanted to go out to check up on her but he feared that Jennie and Lisa were still lingering in the store.

Did I tease her too much…?

Ryan worried he overdid it but Rose came back two minutes later, carrying a pair of black shoes, a suit jacket, and sunglasses. 

"Wear those," Rose commanded, passing him the jacket. "Those three should make you really handsome." 

She looked much better after coming back, even showing a smile so Ryan didn't question her. 

"I peeked at your shoe number so they should match," Rose explained as he wore everything as she wished and as a finishing touch, she placed sunglasses on his nose.

"It feels nice," Ryan said as he fixed the suit and posed in front of the mirror.

"Yeah, it's perfect…" Rose confirmed firmly. "You suddenly became even more handsome... Can you only wear suits from now on?"

"Hah, thank you," Ryan laughed sincerely and searched for the price tags. "How much are those?" 

"No, don't look," Rose stopped him, catching his hands. "I will buy it for you as a gift." 

"Gift?" Ryan repeated with a frown, not prepared for that at all. "You don't need to buy it for me. I have my own money." 

He worked part-time for four years without spending much on himself so he saved a small sum of money. 

"No, no. You got me wrong." Rose shook her head and explained. "I wanted to give you something for helping me yesterday. Let this outfit be my gift. Please." 

He didn't know what to think of this but he wasn't cool with such expensive presents. Seeing how fine the suit looked, it had to be costly. 

"Rose… I didn't help you because I wanted money," Ryan noted but Rose had her comeback prepared. "Aren't you my boyfriend? Can't a girlfriend gift a present to their boyfriend?" 

"Well, she can, but—" Ryan replied, wanting to convince her yet she cut him off. 

"Then it's decided," Rose announced and started folding his own clothes. "Let's go. You can walk out of the store like this. We will cut off the price tags." 

Before he complained, she grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the changing room.
