I was in a middle of a meeting when my phone ping. It was Jean, he sent back the money I gave him a few months back.

Jean: Eren paid me for the rent and other shit. He actually kept a list of everything I covered up for him. Who knew right? I'm giving it back to you since you already paid me.

Huh, Jean's a good guy. Maybe I should hook him up with... I scanned the Omegas in the room and eyed Marco for a good moment.

Marco Bott was the one in charge of the presentation today. He's cute and kind, maybe he's single?

Marco noticed my intense stare and fidgeted on his spot. "Um, Boss? What do you think?"

I wasn't listening, I was simply picturing Jean and him together. They could work, they looked like a cute couple to me.

"Levi," Erwin tapped his pen on the table. The annoying sound snapped me back to reality.

"Ah, yes." I straightened in my chair and told them about the disadvantages of implementing the said project as well as the advantages. Everyone agreed that pushing the project next year would be risky and decided to push the project for two years. Now that all those business shit was taken care of, I could finally go back to playing cupid. "Marco."

The freckled Omega flinched. "Y-Yes, Boss?"

"Are you single?"

"I... I'm-" He stuttered and was taken aback by my question. But he managed to get his shit straight. "Ah, yes... Sir?"

"Good, I know a good Alpha, maybe you should meet him."

"I-I-I... um, ah... okay?" Marco gulped and looked around the rest of the people in the room. I could see Hange shrugging at my peripheral vision.

"Great! I can give you his phone number now-" I paused when my phone pinged again. This time, the text was from Eren.

I smiled when I saw his name. I quickly read the message and my smile dropped. I screamed.

Everyone in the meeting room stood and looked at me with concern as I wheeled my chair away from the desk, specifically, away from my phone.

Hange and Petra quickly went to peek at my phone with curiosity. Then, they both gave me a patient smile.

"Boss, it's going to be okay," Petra gently said.

"Are you fucking crazy?!" I shouted at her.

"What is going on?" Erwin asked on behalf of the others in the room who were scared to ask me about my sudden outburst.

"Eren asked Levi if he wanted to go to his hometown to meet his mother, sister, and his friends," Hange calmly explained to everyone and added. "Also, he wanted Levi to stay overnight."

"I see, it's not that bad, Levi." Erwin comforted. "I'm sure that Mrs. Yeager will like you."

"What if she's a diva?! And besides, Eren and I had been seeing each other for a few months but we never kiss on the lips!"

The room was silent until Marco spoke, out of all people. "You didn't try to kiss him first?"

I immediately felt the heat on my face. Of course, Eren showered me with tender kisses but he avoided my lips for some odd reasons. "I... I attempted to try but... ugh, I fear that my chest would explode and IT DIDN'T HELP THAT I'M SO FUCKING SHORT!"

Everyone knew that Eren's not likely the one to initiate first. In our relationship, I always took lead, from tender innocent kisses to cuddles, and when Eren stopped blushing at my advances and he grew confident, only then, he would reciprocate. And, of course, everyone knew that!

"Um," Moblit raised his shaking hand. "I have an i-input, Boss."

"Speak up."

"Eren loves to watch Disney films, why not play something like a drinking game, but instead with alcohol, it will be a kiss on the lips." He managed to say without stuttering.

"Hmmm," I gave it deep thought. "Not bad."

"I know!" Eld raised his hand. "Watch Cinderella and you have to kiss every time they say Cinderelly or Cinderella!"

"Oh! That's not a bad idea. Good one, Eld!" Hange gave the man a thumbs up.

"Hmmm," I hummed. That was indeed not a bad idea.

"So? What are we watching?" Eren asked while he turned on the tv.

Now, that Eren's staying in their new apartment with his room (with air-conditioning), I had all the privacy I needed for my plan. Also, Jean was out to meet Marco. This was just perfect.

I was sitting with my legs cross on his bed while he prepared everything. A bowl of popcorn on the side, two cans of coke, and I bought some chocolate cake.

"How about Cinderella?" I suggested. Grabbing my shell-shaped bag, I quickly grabbed the lip balm and applied a coat on my lips. Hange gave it to me and it smelled and tasted like cherry.

"Yes, please! I love Cinderella!" Eren placed the disc on the player before sitting next to me.

I was planning on getting Eren Netflix but seeing his beloved DVD collection, I refrained, only until one of the discs would break or had a scratch.

"I love you too," I cooed at him and placed a kiss on his cheek.

Eren grinned and nuzzled his nose on my cheek. He paused when the scent of my lip balm reached his nose. He slightly pulled away and stared at my lips. "Is that lip gloss?"

I smirked and bit my lip to taste the flavor. "Hm, cherry flavored. Wanna taste?"

Eren's green eyes widen at me. Was my flirting working?

"Shrek 2!" Eren announced like he had won the lottery. "Prince Charming, right?"

"Yep." I shook my head and turned my attention to the TV as it showed the first part of the movie where Cinderella was in her room in the attic. Perfect.

I turned to Eren and placed my hand on his knee. "How about we play a game?"

"What game?" Eren asked while snatched the small chocolate that was sitting on top of the cake and pop it in his mouth.

"Similar to a drinking game but the rules will be different."

"Okay," he nodded while he ate popcorn, eyed glued on the screen.

"Every time they say Cinderella or Cinderelly, we kiss," I grinned as I glanced on the screen, the evil step sister was going to call Cinderella's name now-

"Okay," Eren agreed without a second beat and leaned forward to kiss me on the cheek when the evil sisters called Cinderella.

Nope! Not on the cheek!

I quickly turned my head so his lips landed on mine instead of on my cheek. Eren immediately withdraws with a deep blush on his face.

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"

I leaned forward to capture his lips on mine when they mentioned Cinderella several times. Thank the heavens that Cinderella had evil stepsisters, stepmother, and annoying rodents that wouldn't stop calling her name.

"Are you okay with this?" Eren asked shyly when I pulled away.

"I want you," I whispered.

"That was my first kiss," Eren lightly chuckled. "I'm glad it was you."

I smiled. "I hope you don't mind that I also wanted to be your last." I scooted closer and wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him deeply. This time, Eren didn't recoil, instead, he kissed back and moaned when his tongue licked my lips.

He slightly pulled away and tasted the lip balm. "Cherries," he murmured, green eyes dazed and cheeks flushed.

"Want some more?" I smirked. Finally, he gets it.

I connected our lips again, parting my lips for Eren to taste.

His tongue ran on my lips, licking the balm off before he finally slid inside my mouth. I moaned as his tongue explored my mouth while I tasted his in return. I could taste the popcorn he ate and mint. He just recently brushed his teeth, oh God! I loved him to bits.

Things get heated pretty quickly despite that the air-conditioning was running and the movie was forgotten. I gasped when his warm hand slid under my shirt.

Shit, we're doing it. I've been fantasizing about this day!

I started working on his shirt, grabbing the hem, I was about to pull it off his head when his phone rang.

We pulled away and froze.

"Um," Eren blushed deeply that it reached his ears and down at his neck.

I blinked and noticed that I was sitting on his lap. Since when did that happen?

The phone kept ringing and Eren gently lifted me off his lap with a pained expression. "I... I have to take this."

"Okay," I nodded while I fixed my clothes and watched him leave the room. Before he closed the door, he looked back at me.

"Um, you can count how many times they said Cinderella and I'll..." He lowered his head bashfully before continuing. "And I'll kiss you."

And he closed the door, leaving me alone in his room with my heart beats louder than Cinderella's evil sister's screams when she discovered that Gus was in her breakfast tray.

While waiting, I tally the number of times they mentioned Cinderella's name in my phone's notepad to make sure that I'll get all the kisses that would hopefully turn into a makeout session and something more intimate. I was barely paying attention to the story and just focused on when they said Cinderella or Cinderelly.

We've been dating for three months, none of my previous relationships lasted this long. Also, I hadn't got laid since my last break up and when was that? Hmm, something around three years ago. Shit, was it that long? Sure, I didn't fancy making out before or sex because exchanging body fluids were just disgusting.

But here I am, yearning for an Alpha who's always hesitating to touch me intimately. When his hand slipped under my shirt, that was the first time he did that. And damn that was hot.

There's something about Eren that made me yearn. I didn't mind his kisses and our short makeout session that caused us to exchange saliva. I didn't mind at all, instead, I wanted more.

I rested my head on my hands with a sigh. I didn't want to look desperate and forced him to make love to me.

The door clicking open snapped me out of my mussing. Eren came back with a big smile on his face and sat back next to me with a bounce. He glanced at my phone. "Do they really said Cinderella's name that much?"

"Yep," I smirked and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Um, wait."

I froze. "What?"

"Um, you see... ah, my mother told my friends that you're coming over next weekend and they wanted to meet you too. I hope you don't mind?"

"No, I don't mind at all. I would love to meet the rest of your friends," I shook my head. Jean already informed me that next weekend was Eren's birthday and I had prepared the perfect gift for him.

"Great!" Eren cheered before he leaned forward and pressed his lips on mine and took the lead. He gained confidence real quick this time and I'm not complaining at all.
