Delaney’s pov
“Oh my goodness Delaney! What on Earth happened to you?” Xavier’s mom shrieked as she stared at my wet body.

I wasn’t drenched and soaked like I was when I just got out from the swimming pool. It got a little dried as we made our way home.

“It’s nothing mom.” I shrugged.

“You can’t say you being wet from your hair down to your toes means nothing. What happened? There wasn’t rain today, so how come?” She asked worriedly.

I chewed on my bottom lip and looked at Xavier for help.

“Well, she fell into the swimming pool at the celebrant house.” He scoffed.

“Huh? How did it happen?” She rushed her words breathlessly.

“An anonymous pushed me into the swimming pool.” I mumbled, but clearly enough for her to hear me.

“What? Who could that be?” She asked and placed her hands on her waist.

“I’ve got no idea.”

“And you won’t believe it mom, she almost got drown. But Rio and I were quick to save her.

She’s lucky I got to know on time else, she’d have drowned.” Xavier said and rolled his eyes.

“You don’t know how to swim?” She asked, with her eyes almost popping out from it’s socket.

“No.” I shook my head negatively.

“I’d be in my room mom. Delaney is such a kill joy. We left the party before it even ended.
And I didn’t even tell the celebrant I was going home already. Delaney ruined every of my plans.” Xavier grumbled and glared at me.

I lowered my gaze to the floor, feeling guilty.

“I’d be in my room mom. And don’t forget to ask Delaney all about the party.” He said sarcastically and without waiting for his mom’s reply, he jogged towards the stairs.

“Delaney, go freshen up already, so you won’t catch a cold.” Xavier’s mom smiled lightly at me.

I nodded my head and turned to leave but her gasped made me stopped walking.

“Oh my God Laney! Did you dress like this to the party? And where are your shoes?” She gasped.

“She’s crazy mom. Only a girl like her that would still dress like this in this twenty– first century.

She looked funny in them.” Xavier suddenly laughed.

Eish! Her voice was too loud and now, Xavier is gonna tease the hell out of me.

“Son, I thought you were already in your room.” She said and stared up at him on the stairs.

“I was almost there but your gasp made me take just few steps backwards.” He laughed.

“And don’t forget mom, you might need to employ someone that will take her lessons on dressings. Seriously, at this age she can’t dress properly.” Xavier laughed and before his mother could say something, he already ran up the stairs.

I sighed and stared down at my feet.

“We need to talk Laney, a lot.” Xavier’s mom said sternly while I nodded like a drenched puppy and trailed behind her as she walked away.

Alicia’s mom pov
“Joanne?” I called in shock.

“Oh my goodness, it’s really you Joanne!” I exclaimed happily.

“Nice to see you again Clarissa.” She beamed and we both hug briefly.

“It’s been so long Clara.” She smiled and ran her eyes all over my body.

“Yeah. And it’s nice meeting you again. You were the last person in my mind I thought I’d see today.
And you’re looking pretty and elegant.” I smiled as I mentally admired her clothes, her shoes and her appearance as a whole.

Wow! She looked so pretty and she screams wealth.

“You don’t look bad yourself. It’s been so long.” She smiled.

“Yeah.” I said with a faux smile.

She looked rather sophisticated and I wonder how she became this wealthy from the last time I saw her. She’s really changed.

“Why don’t you get into my car so I’ll drop you at your house and we can talk better along the way.” She suggested.

I pondered over it for just some seconds before I shook my head negatively.

“There’s no need for that Joanne.” I declined politely.

“Oh!” She mouthed disappointedly.

“Okay, how about we exchange contact?” She asked.

“Yeah, sure.” I agreed without any reluctancy.

“Okay.” She nodded.

She went to her car and took her phone and came back to me.

We exchanged contact and bid each other goodbye with pecks.

Xavier’s pov
“Hey.” I took my gaze from my phone to stare at Delaney.
She looked better unlike when she looked like a soaked chick drenched under a heavy downpour.

She was simply clad in a gown that stops just on her knees and her wasn’t wet and it was packed up freely.

She doesn’t look pale and she looked refreshed.

“What do you want?” I asked grumpily.

“Why are you always grumpy? You look mean when you grumble and speak rudely at me.” She pouted and walked to my body.

“If that’s a compliment, then thanks.” I said sarcastically.

“Okay, I’m here because of something.” She fondled with her fingers, looking like a cute innocent baby.

“Okay, go on. What is it?” And this time around, I didn’t speak grumpily or rudely, just plain.

And as if she noticed it, a big smile curved on her lips.

“Well, why did you put your lips on mine when you brought me out of the swimming pool? What does that mean?” She asked.

What?
Is this girl kidding me right now?

“I don’t understand what you mean.” I lied, denying that I didn’t remember.

There’s no way I’m going tell her that, that was kinda a kiss.

And I almost forgot, the last time I checked, she doesn’t know the meaning of kiss, so I’ll just go by it.

“When I woke up, I noticed that your lips were placed on mine and I knew it was that action that saved. So, what exactly is it?” She asked.

Eish!
This girl won’t stop right?

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Me, I placed my lips on yours, how?” I insisted that I don’t remember.

“Like this.” And before I could process that word, I felt her soft lips on mine.

What?
