Vera was completely dumbfounded.
The way he asked was as if he was deliberately making her take the bait.
"Huh? Are you going to kiss me? If you don't, you won't get another chance. You really don't want to kiss me? I'll kiss someone else then."
For some reason, the monologue appeared in Vera's head. She knew Quill was not that kind of person on second thought. So she shook away the thoughts in her head, looked at this handsome face right in front of her, and suddenly leaned forward.
"I'll kiss!"
She was a little aggressive, and Quill wasn't prepared for it when she bumped into him. The impact forced him backward, but Quill stabilized himself in a second and held onto Vera's waist as he helplessly laughed inside.
She really was over the top.
Vera didn't care whether it was a dream or reality anymore. Since he had offered, it would be foolish of her not to take the advantage!
Besides, he had kissed her for so long earlier in the afternoon. Now she finally had a chance to be the dominating one; why would she not want it?
A few minutes passed.
Quill's lips bled from the bump, and he hit his head several times. Vera kissed him carelessly as she held onto his neck haphazardly. Quill had no choice but to grab her arm and pull her away.
"Do you actually know how to kiss?"
Vera's cheeks and ears flushed red. She nodded awkwardly at his questioning and said, "0- of course I do."
She was even more embarrassed when she saw his grazed lips. "Why don't we... leave it at this... I'll practice later."
"Practice later?" Quill suddenly narrowed his eyes with a hint of fierceness. "With whom?"
Vera became flustered. "No one. I'm just going to do some research. Don't worry; I'll work hard."
If that was the case...
Quill's Adam's apple bopped as he said in a low voice, "You sure do need some practice, but isn't this a good opportunity now? Come here."
Vera was befuddled.
What did he mean? Did he want her to practice with him?
"I've also never been in a relationship before. We can practice together and figure it out."
Quill pulled the befuddled girl closer. Before Vera could react, she was being kissed again.
Just like that, the two of them 'practiced' in the car for a long time.
When they separated, Vera coughed awkwardly and leaned on his shoulder; she dared not look him in the eyes.
"Does it feel more real now?"
Real? How was that possible? Vera felt that her head was heavy, yet her whole body was light as a feather as if she was floating in the clouds. It felt even more surreal.
However, she didn't say anything, but Quill had a hunch as to her thoughts. He pinched her elbow and asked, "Hmm?"
"If you still feel that this is too good to be true, why don't you go back with me tonight?"
Vera was flabbergasted, "No! I can't! It's too fast!"
They just confirmed their relationship in the afternoon, and he already offered her to spend the night at his place? How could she possibly do that? Although she wanted to deep down, but... but she mustn't!
She had to restrain herself!
Vera felt a sharp pain on her forehead as Quill flicked her lightly. Then, she saw Quill staring at her with a smile. "What are you thinking about? We'll go back to the same place. Ko by will be there, and well sleep separately."
Vera didn't reply to him.
"Or, do you want to..."
Vera shook her head, "No, I don't want to!"
She quickly leaned back into Quill's shoulder and did not look into his eyes anymore.
They hugged each other in silence for a while. Vera realized it was getting late; she had to go back. Moreover, the car had been parked downstairs for a long time.
