Xavier had been excited all night because of Ari. He wanted to ask her out once he kept the glasses, seeing that she was in a good mood that evening. Even if she was reluctant, he would assure her he would try his best not to hurt her; but when he turned around to go back to the living room, he saw her standing by the kitchen door.
Ari leaned on the door such that her hips were arched to a side as she watched Xavier. Xavier was surprised to see her staring at him like that.
''Ari…'' he called but before he could complete his sentence, she walked to him, closed the gap between them, and kissed him; without warning.
Xavier stilled in surprise. He kissed her back reflexively, but remembering what happened the last time, he stopped.
''Ari, let's talk about this… ''
''Shh, just kiss me. '' she cut him off, pulling him down by his collar, she deepened the kiss. Xavier, who had been controlling himself all night, couldn't hold back anymore.
