The kiss ended far too soon, but the warmth of it still lingered on Hugo's lips as he stared at Loli, his mind caught somewhere between reality and the strange, floaty feeling in his chest.
For a second, he wasn't sure if he was imagining things, if maybe the skating rink lights were playing tricks on him, but no—Loli was really looking at him like that.
Like he was the only person in the world!
Hehe...
Her cheeks were still a little pink, her lips slightly wet from their kiss, and Hugo was just about to throw out some shamelessly smooth line about how she could kiss him whenever she wanted when she suddenly spoke.
She dropped a nuclear bomb! It was another Hiroshima!
"Do you want to be my boyfriend?"
Hugo's brain malfunctioned. He actually froze mid-breath, his eyes widening a fraction as his brain tried to process what he just heard.
Wait. Wait. This wasn't right. This wasn't how it was supposed to go!
