"Alright," Maddox said, striding forward with Astrid and the others trailing behind.
Elio lowered his voice, "Legends of spirits haunting this hill have been around forever. Someone's probably just using it as an excuse to stir up trouble."
"Mmhmm, figured as much. So, I've prepared a little surprise for them," Astrid chuckled mischievously, turning to boast to Elio about her homemade concoction, "You see—" But as she turned, her lips brushed against his cheek in an unexpected kiss!
Online Chatroom-
[OMG!!! My ship just sailed, they KISSED!]
[Mr. Lampard is such a tease, he totally knew Astrid would turn and just waited for it!]
[Props to the cameraperson for catching that moment!]
[Dude, Mr. Lampard is shameless, stealing a kiss in front of everyone!]
[This is it, he's gonna get smacked by Astrid!]
Just as the chat predicted, Astrid's foot lashed out, nailing Elio with a solid kick.
The chat erupted - [LOL, who would've thought!]
Astrid truly hadn't expected Elio to pull something like that. One kick didn't satisfy her anger, so she delivered another, "Elio, are you asking for it?"
It was just a brush of the lips, but in Elio's mind, it was close enough to a kiss, and he was in high spirits, "Maybe a little. Why don't you help me loosen up, darling?"
Astrid was speechless.
