The kiss was… perfect. Soft, slow, and sohow, completely surreal.
It felt like sothing straight out of a movie. The kind where the entire world faded away, leaving only the two people caught up in the mont.
Loli lted into Hugo's arms, her small hands gripping his shirt like she was holding on for dear life, like letting go would make this whole thing disappear.
He could feel the way her body tensed for a split second, like she was caught between resisting and surrendering, but then—just like that—she gave in.
Her arms slid up, wrapping around his neck, and she pressed herself against him, her warmth seeping through his clothes, her scent filling his lungs.
Hugo's brain completely shut down. 'This is real? No way. No way this is actually happening. I must've been hit by a truck earlier today, and this is my afterlife reward, right?'
He was deeply kissing Loli. The sa Loli who had spent the last few days ignoring him.
The sa Loli who had glared at him, yelled at him, and made him feel like he was one step away from being wiped off the face of the earth.
And yet, here she was, in his arms, kissing him back like he was the only thing keeping her alive!
Hugo was losing it. His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was trying to break free from his chest.
His hands tightened around her waist instinctively, holding her closer, as if making sure this mont wouldn't slip away.
Her lips were soft, warm, and tasted faintly of the caral popcorn they'd been sharing earlier.
It was intoxicating—so much so that he almost forgot where they were. Almost.
But then, a small voice in the back of his mind snapped him out of it. Dude. You're in a movie theater.
People are literally sitting in front of you. Get a grip before you turn this into a full-on romance drama episode.
Reluctantly, and only because he needed to breathe, Hugo pulled away.
His forehead rested lightly against Loli's, his breath uneven as he stared into her wide, dazed eyes.
Her lips were slightly wet, her cheeks dusted with pink, and for a mont, she just blinked at him, like she was trying to process what just happened.
Hugo grinned, his voice coming out lower than he expected. "I like you too, you know."
Loli's eyes widened just a bit more. Then, as if realizing what he just said, she quickly turned her head to the side, her blush deepening.
But instead of saying sothing sweet back, she huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. "I don't trust you."
Hugo nearly choked. "…Huh?"
She gave him a pointed look. "You've already lied to before. How do I know you're not just saying this because of the mont? How do I know you actually an it?"
Oh, co on! Why did she always have to make things difficult?! The mood was so good! The air was perfect!
The kiss was amazing! Couldn't she just let this slide for once and enjoy the mont?!
Hugo sighed dramatically. "Loli, seriously? Can't we just be happy for, like, five minutes?"
She wasn't having it. Her arms stayed crossed, her lips pursed.
He groaned inwardly. Fine. He had to handle this with care. He flashed her a sheepish grin, running a hand through his hair.
"Alright, alright. I deserved that. I did ss up before. But I swear, I won't lie to you again. Ever."
Loli raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "Swear on what?"
He hesitated. "…Uh. My Benz?"
Dead silence.
Loli gave him a blank stare, blinking slowly. "…Seriously?"
Okay, bad choice.
Hugo quickly backtracked. "I an, what do you want to swear on?"
She lifted her pinky finger. "Pinky promise."
Hugo blinked. "…Are you serious?"
Loli didn't answer. She just kept staring at him, her tiny pinky still raised, waiting.
Oh wow. She was actually serious. For all her tough attitude, Loli had a very cute side.
He never thought the day would co when she would demand a pinky promise from him like so middle school kid, but here they were.
A small chuckle slipped out before he could stop it, but he quickly covered it up with a grin.
With zero hesitation, he lifted his own hand and linked his pinky with hers, squeezing gently. "Pinky promise."
Loli seed satisfied with that. She nodded once, then pulled her hand away, returning her focus to the movie.
Hugo, however, was still looking at her, a smirk tugging at his lips. "You know, you're kinda cute when you act like this."
Loli stiffened imdiately. She turned to glare at him. "Shut up."
He laughed, leaning back in his seat, feeling way too smug. 'Oh, this was amazing. This entire night was amazing. And to make things even better—'
His eyes flickered to the side, and he nearly burst out laughing.
Luna was glaring at him.
Her lips were pressed into a thin line, her eyes filled with obvious annoyance, and for the second ti that night, Hugo felt truly, deeply satisfied.
'Oh? What's wrong, Luna? You didn't expect to be the one making out tonight? And with a girl so much cuter than you?'
The pettiness in his heart was skyrocketing. He wasn't even trying to hide it. He was loving this.
With a smug grin, he turned back to the movie, just in ti for the climax. The music swelled, the tension in the film reaching its peak.
The male lead was finally facing the consequences of his actions, and Hugo had to admit—the dude deserved it.
Every little thing he had done before had co back to bite him in the worst way possible. It was satisfying and painful at the sa ti.
As the movie reached its final monts, Hugo's mind started drifting.
He glanced at Loli beside him, her face illuminated by the light from the screen. She was focused, her hands resting on her lap, looking really adorable at the mont.
Should I try sothing?
They were at the back seat. The mood was already great. She clearly liked him—she admitted it. Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire
Would it be too much if he tried to hold her hand again? Maybe even pull her a little closer?
His eyes flickered downward. Her fingers were just sitting there, unmoving.
If he casually slid his hand over hers, would she slap him? Or would she just pretend not to notice and let it happen?
Decisions, decisions.
Hugo sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. Maybe he should just behave for now. He was trying to prove he wasn't a complete jerk, after all.
Still, that didn't an he couldn't try sothing subtle… right?
