Chloe Ramos

“Kiss me,”

She mumbled while I was stunned staring at her. Her soft skin grazed mine, making me shiver.

H-how did this happen?

Just a few minutes ago, we were peacefully having our meal as her treat by founding her hairpin but this was suddenly turned of events. She was sitting right in front of me—or should I say, she was sitting on my lap— while her forehead leaned against mine and we were looking at each other eyes.

Don't tell me...This was the dessert!? Belatedly, I realized what I just thought and shook myself to reality. No—no stop thinking like that, don't let the softness of her body control your mind.

She told me to kiss her but as I looked at her—her face was full of red, not to mention her arms wrapping around my neck were slightly trembling as well as her lower lip.

Her scent smells so sweet, her hair smells so fragrant and her body was so soft and smooth as though it would leave a mark if I ever grabbed her too firmly.

Also her front, I felt dizzy just by looking at her front.

She wore a white with a faint of pink upper undergarments, there was a complex embroidered pattern over its fabric, supposed to be a pattern of sunflower.

But what did the flower do in a girl's undergarments? And why did I suddenly have this thought?

I never knew the answer before, but now was different. On her upper undergarments, at the center—at the very center of the sunflower there was a tiny bulge, a pair of the tiny bulge.

Wha—

My eyes widened as I came up with a conclusion, the mystery of what that tiny bulge was, the answer wasn't the undergarment itself but the things hidden behind it.

Oh right, I wasn't allowed to tell what this was since it was too inappropriate hence I'd leave it to your imagination.

Looking more down below. Like what her upper garment has, her lower garment had the color white with a hint of pink, the lines separating the left, middle, and the right part was quite alluring—especially the lower part of the middle...anyway.

Why am I describing it anyway? Did I turn into a pervert?

Closing her eyes, she aggressively devoured my lips with her lips, forcing her tongue into my mouth, grazing mine. That made me recoil, I felt my head knocked against the side of the bed. Shock, I sat there without moving an inch.

My eyes widened as I saw her unhook the back of her bra, which made her undergarment fall on the floor. She snatched my right hand and place it on her breast without moving her face away from mine.

Then it reminded me of something. I didn't remember her since she has just appeared in a few chapters of Black Roses, that's why I didn't remember her name.

In the manga, Mikael met a girl after he graduated from high school. That girl was working as an entertainer in a certain club, and of course, something happened between that girl and Mikael that night. After a few chapters passed that girl suddenly vanished from the story as if the author of Black Roses just tossed her aside after her role was done.

That girl's name was—

“Chloe Ramos..." I mumbled which made Chloe stop.

I took my hands off her and held her face, only I realized that there was a tear started to creep down her cheek.

“You don't have to push yourself, you stupid,” I said as I remembered who she really was: one of the girls who had a tragic end.

Silently, I wondered why there were too many tragic girls in the story. I knew there was no point thinking about it but still...

She tried to resist her tear but in the end, she burst into a cry. With my left shoulder as a tissue, she leaned her head on it, pulled the shoulder part of my uniform, and cover her face with it.

I sighed, though I didn't know the meaning behind that sigh.

I didn't say a single word and let her tears stream from her eyes. Gently, I stroked her hair as I patted her back with my other hand.

It was as if I was taking babysitting a child, I thought.

A few moments after, her sobs began to fade. I supposed she calmed down now.

I didn't have a gist of what was happening to her, but to do things such as things just to forget her problem, she must really be in a tough situation.

I'd only focused on the story of Mikael, Ericka, and Arisa— it seemed like that was the reason why I forgot about the other side characters that they'd met in their journey.

The sadness and loneliness of the other characters.

Their situation and their problem.

Honestly, I never looked at them before. I had no idea what their names were and what situation they were in because I only focused on the main characters.

“Maybe I'm not that observant reader...” I muttered.

“......”

“Oh...” I realized that Chloe dozed off on my shoulder, she must have exhausted herself from crying.

“Thank goodness that her bed was right behind me or else I'll have to carry her—!”

After what happened I completely forgot!

Chloe was atop of me only wearing her undergarment—in short, she was half-naked sitting on top of me!

What should I do?!

*

In the end, I'd laid her on her bed with my eyes closed, of course, even a lot of things happened Chloe was still a girl, a third-year high school girl. Even if it was against my will, I had myself put a shirt on her just to prevent her from getting cold, I found it in her closet. And also I wrapped her in the sheets of bed just to make sure.

Walking away from her house, I took my last glance at it and smiled.

With her by my side, I felt like I had a little sister. I left a piece of paper with my contact number on it, I decided to help her.

“My first kiss..." I muttered and run away.
