2024-10-29 19:42:56Jason woke up the next morning in his bed. For some reason, he felt very relaxed and warm. He opened his eyes, his spotless room coming into view. Slowly sitting up, he was wondering why he felt so happy.
Gradually, the events from last night came back to him. The boat...the deck and…
“Oh shit!” he muttered. Alya had kissed him last night, taking him completely by surprise. He had stood there like a statue, unsure of what to do. It was a brief peck and he was not even sure what came over her when she kissed him.
After kissing him on an impulse, Alya seemed to have realized what she had done and was flabbergasted. Jason was too shocked to react, only being able to mouth out, “Let’s go back home.”
