Lesley is lost in her thoughts as she watches the fire dance in front of her. She stares at the burning wood while thinking about what they went through today. After escaping Shane's men, they hid in the forest and ran until the sky became dark.

She hugs herself and sits on a rock wide enough to support her. She savors the warmth the fire gives as Dan continues to add more dried branches to the bonfire they had lit before sunset.

Lesley patted the scrapes on her arms. She got it earlier when she jumped from the car. She had no deep wounds or broken bones, but the scratches on her skin were stinging.

She glances at Bangs, who is still sound asleep next to her. She wonders what kind of sleeping pill or tranquilizer they used on him. He did not wake up or flinched even after they jumped from the car. Fortunately, Bangs had only a tiny wound on his left leg because she hugged him as they rolled on the rocky ground.

"Does it hurt?" Dan asked, noticing her occasional look at her wounds

    "As I said, that's not the only reason. I'll get pregnant," Lesley explained. Bangs held his laughter. "Oh, right." "Stop teasing me, Bangs!" "You're doing what you wanted with me when I was asleep, but I can't do that to you?" "It's different! It's just a kiss! It's called a magical kiss of true love. I did it to wake you up like Sleeping Beauty. It worked, didn't it?" He did not know who and what she was referring to, but he understood what she was implying and respected that. "I understand. I won't force you," he said. He restrained himself even though his body was getting very hot. He kept glancing at her chest. He wanted to feel it on his palms and inside his mouth. He swallowed hard at the strong desire to be intimate with her. Lesley moved closer and leaned her head on his shoulder while she grabbed his arms. "You can kiss me every day," she said as if to make him feel a bit better. "Anywhere?" She laughed. "Why are you so naughty?" He smiled and took a deep breath.

    “How are you feeling?" Bangs asked worriedly as he sat beside Lesley. “Is your body all right?"She smiled at him. “Thanks to you I'm fine. I don't think anything serious happened to me."“You can't know that for sure.""I know it. And really, thank you, Bangs. You saved me earlier," Lesley said as she drank the whole bottle. "I thought I was going to be stuck there. It started raining too. I was really scared back there. Thank you for finding me."She looked at Bangs, and saw a frown on his face."Don't leave my side again," he said bitterly.Lesley sighed, she thought for a moment before answering."Bangs, there will be times that we have to be apart. I know you want to always be with me. I want that too. But don't focus your life around me. What if I die? You need to learn to live on your own. Be independent.""Die?"His face grew even sourer, and he looked at her sharply."I'm sorry. Of course, that's not going to happen," she cleared her throat. "But still, don't revolve your wor

    Lesley slowly opened her eyes when she woke up from Bangs' soft taps on her shoulder. Their eyes, which were only an inch away, locked on each other, and she gazed at him perplexedly.Last night… we…Her heart raced when she remembered everything that had happened and how intimate they were. Her cheeks burned, and her lips partly opened as if trying to say something but the words were not coming out of her mouth."Someone is coming," Bangs interjected.He quickly stood up to take her slightly dried clothes from the rock and handed them to her. Lesley cleared her throat. "I-Is it Dan?" she asked, trying her best not to sound awkward. Even though what happened last night kept playing in her head."I'm not sure. I'm sorry," Bangs answered anxiously. He is still not used to being surrounded by other people when unchained. Even though it is a bit bearable now, he is still afraid of what he might do to them."That's alright. I'm sure it's our help." Lesley sighed in relief. "Oh, finally! I

    They rode the black mini-truck to the 7th hideout. She and Bangs sat beside each other while holding hands until she fell asleep. Hours later, she woke up lying in a bed, surrounded by a white curtain, and her head throbbing."Hey, Iston, how is she?"The voice is familiar. She recognizes it as Airah's."Could you please lower your voice?" She remembers that voice too. It was Iston's."So grumpy," Airah snorted. "No wonder you don't have a girlfriend.""As if you have a boyfriend.""So mean too! I'm not going to help you find a girl here."What are they arguing about? Lesley forced her eyes open again. The surroundings are still blurry, but she can tell she is in some sort of infirmary. Her clothes have changed too. "I don't need your advice, and I don't need your help," Iston stressed."Oh, but you need it! I know all of the girls here. I'm the leader, after all. I must know everyone."Iston sighed and gave Airah a tired look. "Why are you here, Ai? Surely it's not to annoy me. Or

    "I promise you I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you! Every one of you, Nobles! You won't get away with it! I promise you!"Bangs woke up again from the nightmare he had been having since the Crimson Clan rescued them and sheltered them in its small fortress in a remote area. He sat up and leaned against the wall, staring into nothingness.It had been two days since the last time he saw Lesley. Once again, he is alone and locked up in a small room. He will stay here until the symptoms of his drug withdrawal stop. His fists clenched. Is he destined to be imprisoned perpetually? He sighed and gazed at the surroundings. At least this new prison is much nicer and more comfortable than his cold ward in MNA. But he still feels as lonely.There is a soft bed, a radio that kills his boredom, and magazines with pictures of beautiful women with barely any clothes to cover their bodies. He briefly looked at the pages before throwing them at the corner. Those girls couldn't compare with Lesley in

    "Bangs, I missed you so much!" she beamed while she gazed at him. "Did you miss me too?"He nodded jerkily. "Lesley," he softly uttered as if saying a prayer while staring into her captivating brown eyes. He felt like he hadn't seen her in weeks. He smiled warmly and then caressed her cheek. "I can't believe you're here."Lesley smiled wider and cupped his face. "You are not dreaming if that is what you're thinking," she said, releasing him. "It's good that they allowed me to see you. I thought it would take longer. I was very worried. How are you here? Do you feel better?""I'm still alive," he said proudly. She laughed. "Is it that bad?""I will be better if I can see you every day.""Oh, Bangs," she said, sighing. "I was so worried when they said you were locked up. But now that I've seen and talked to you, I feel better. I see that Iston is taking good care of you. Also," Lesley quickly scanned his room, "your room is much better than I had imagined. I'm a little less worried now

    Lesley's chest felt like it was about to burst with excitement as she stared into her lover's eyes, which had now turned gray. She had already mastered the young man. The color of his eyes changes when he feels a strong emotion, and she knows what kind of emotion he is feeling right now. One that makes her body quiver in anticipation and desire.Bangs stepped closer and left only an inch of distance between their faces."Lesley, you started this, so you can't back out."She swallows from his intense gaze, melting her and weakening her knees."Why would I?" she managed to answer. "I said you can touch me. Just touch," she stressed. "That's not a bid deal, isn't it? You have already touched me before."A corner of his lips lifted. Lesley is sure that he is thinking of something naughty again, adding to her nervousness. But at the same time, it made her curious and more excited.He stared down at her lips. She was anticipating his lips to touch hers, but that did not happen. Instead, his

    "I broke it because it was annoyingly useless. There was no water coming out," Bangs answered.Lesley glanced at him surprisingly.The guard couldn't believe it and shook his head, pointing at the broken sink. "Why do you have to destroy it like that? You know we can call a plumber to have it fixed. Now it's completely useless.""My apologies, sir," Lesley rebutted. "He is still suffering from his drug withdrawal. He's a bit irritable, so, uhm, he broke the sink because he was frustrated that no water was coming out. That's right. That's what happened," she added, biting her lips, hoping it was enough of an explanation.The man sighed heavily. "Well, there's nothing we can do about it anymore. He stomped on it," he stressed. It was as if a thorn had been pulled out of her throat. She does not have to think of any absurd excuses anymore. But she did not let it show.Bangs just snorted, still obviously annoyed. Lesley knows why he is acting like this, and she understands him. She, too,

    Lesley can hear her heart beating loudly inside her chest. Her palms clenched in nervousness as they stared into each other's eyes."I… I got very angry with you, and I was bitter… But I still love you..."She saw his face getting redder. She could feel herself slowly being swallowed by his gaze that seemed to penetrate deep inside her."How about the things you said before I left?" he asked in his low and deep voice. "Do you want me?"She slightly raised his eyebrows at this and pursed her lips."What do you mean?" she asked nervously.The atmosphere is getting hotter. She knew what he was talking about. But it was too embarrassing to admit now without the alcohol in her system."You remember it, right? Everything you said... and what we almost did here in your room," He brought his face closer to hers. "Lesley, tell me honestly... Do you want me inside you?"Lesley can hear the loud beating inside her chest as if she will have a heart attack at any moment. Only one person has the ab

    "Why are we here on my bed? There's a table," Lesley calmly asked Kieran, who was comfortably eating on top of her bed, positioning himself in the middle while she was at the end as if she was the guest and he owned the space."Because eating is better when done in bed," he answered with a meaningful smile.Lesley understood the double meaning in his statement. She stared at his face flatly, initially wanting to refute him, but she decided just to ignore him. "Besides, this is where we used to eat. It's more comfortable. I promise I won't make a mess," Kieran added.She sighed. She agreed to talk to him tonight about their relationship, especially those things she said and acted when she was drunk.But is this the right decision, biting Kieran’s bait and letting him into her room?She stared at the tray of food resting on her lap for a few seconds and then at Kieran's food. She frowned, shifting her gaze to Kieran’s face."Anything wrong? Don't you like it?" he asked."I'm just wonder

    Lesley stared intently at him for a few seconds before sighing heavily. "Fine," she finally agreed, walking to a table nearby. And then she started to put her things away. "Instead of moving on with each other, I messed with your mind again," she murmured, then looked straight at him. "This is my fault. I'm sorry.""No. It's not your fault!" He exclaimed, shaking his head. "It was me. I did this. If I hadn't asked you for that one last kiss, last night wouldn't have happened."She paused, frowning at him. "What are you implying?""I made you feel something in that kiss, and you can't forget me," he answered so casually.Lesley scoffed, shaking her head. "I don't even know what to say. Can you stop assuming?"He walked to her, slightly bending down to put his mouth closer to her ears. "You miss me… And you want me…."Lesley stepped back and glared at him. If only those stares could cut him, he would be in pieces."I'm being serious," he immediately said while holding back a grin. "But

    Lesley groaned painfully from the sudden throbbing in her head as soon as she woke up, the effect of the few glasses of alcohol she drank last night. She doesn't feel like getting up with how heavy her body feels until something suddenly occurs to her. She sprang up, sharply inhaling while covering her mouth with both hands. Her eyes widened in disbelief, recalling the events of last night."No... No, no, no!"She grabbed her hair and shook her head, wishing it was a dream.'What have I done?!'She closed her eyes tightly, biting her lips. She bent until her forehead touched her knees, burying her face in shame. If only the ground would swallow her right now. How will she deal with Kieran now? She doesn't even know if she still has a face to show him after her actions last night. "Lesley, are you awake?"Her breathing hitched when she heard the voice of the last man she wanted to see today. Her face lost its complexion as she looked towards the door.She remembered that Kieran pro

    "What… What do you mean?" Kieran asked, staring intently at her face. "You're asking me why it has to be the last kiss? Do you... Do you want more?"Lesley's heart was beating so fast that she could hear its deafening pounding.She could not take her gaze off Kieran's eyes, which were also fixed on her, even though she felt like she was melting to the ground.Her expression remained brave and confident even though her thoughts were getting tangled in her brain.'What are you doing, Lesley?!' she scolded herself in her mind.She can already see that she will regret this in the morning. But she can't do anything but continue what she started. And she couldn't stop herself either, as if she had lost control."What's wrong with that?" she continued.There flared a strange sparkle in Kieran's eyes. He was speechless for a couple of seconds before he could respond to her."D-Do you... Do you mean it? Seriously—"He suddenly paused when he realized something. He blew violently and shook his

    "Can I kiss you one last time?"Lesley caught her breath at Kieran’s sudden request. Her heart rate doubled and she froze in place."Please?" he pleaded.She gulped as she couldn't take her gaze off his pitiful expression, especially his eyes that had turned gray.She slightly pressed her lips for a split second while trying her best to control the crazy beating of her heart.How can she say no to him with that kind of expression on his face? He looks pitiful, but at the same time, irresistibly adorable."Okay..." she answered absent-mindedly.Kieran wasted no time. He let go of her hand and stepped closer so that their bodies were almost touching. Then he cupped both of her cheeks gently while staring intently at her face as if he had been looking forward to this opportunity for a very long time.She held tightly to the hem of his black t-shirt and then closed her eyes as he slowly brought their faces closer.A second later, she felt his soft lips gently touching hers, and her heart

    Lesley took her deepest breath and then looked ahead. She decided to go to the training grounds to warm up. Rio might be there now to start their new training."Lesley!"She scrambled to her feet when she heard Kieran's voice calling out to her."Lesley, please wait!"She ignored him until he finally caught up to her."I swear I didn't mean to eavesdrop," he said.She took a deep breath and slowly faced him."Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter," she coldly responded.Kieran just smiled, then he held out a clean towel familiar to her. "I wanted to give this back to you."She frowned. "Is it mine?""Yes. It fell on the training grounds the last time we talked there. I washed it, so it's clean."She stared at his eyes for a few seconds, and then she averted her gaze immediately as if burned by something she saw in them."Thank you," she said, almost choking on the word."You're welcome," he answered sweetly.Lesley stared at Kieran again, which seemed strange. He appeared oddly dif

    The sun had not risen yet, but Lesley was already busy helping Avery inspect the food rations that arrived at the hideout every two days. She volunteered to help because she wanted to know something that would help in her plan."Are you only assigned to food?" she asked as Avery busied herself with several pages of paper containing lists of the rations they had received."Yep," her friend answered without looking at her."What about other things? Like guns and medicines?""We have other people for that. I was only assigned to food rations because eighty percent of it comes from our family.""I see..." she trailed. "How about the gadgets? Where do you get the gadgets?"Avery frowned and looked up at her."Gadgets? What do you mean?""You have a burner phone, don't you? I see some mutants using that.""Do you want one?"She nodded, stepping closer. "Yes! How can I get one?""Is there someone outside you want to call?" Avery asked suspiciously."No one," she answered quickly with a broad

    The air-conditioning in the room was cold enough, but a drop of sweat still managed to escape Kieran's forehead. Since he woke up from a wet dream a few hours ago, his body still felt hot. He knew he had to release this heat. But he doesn't seem to have the energy for anything right now. He is too lazy to even get up.Kieran has been awake for a while now. But he hasn't gotten up yet. He rested his head in his hands as he stared blankly at the ceiling, recalling his happy memories with Lesley and intimate moments.He kept thinking about the sexy dream he had last night. He misses her in his arms, her lips on his, her perky breasts, and her hot wetness. He recalled how sweet those tasted, especially the heaven between her legs. But most of all, he yearns for her beautiful eyes that always look at him passionately, and her soft voice muttering words of love for him. Oh, how he longed for that.If he only knew that they would be like this, he would have shown more of how much he loves he
