"Come on, Nanami, please?," I said to Nanami while following him.

"No," he replied coldly still walking towards the gate of Jujutsu Tech.

"It's not that hard. All you have to do is teach me, please," panting for almost running to keep up his pace. Damn, he has long strides.

"I just need this one okay? After this, I won't be bothering you anymore," huffing the air out of my mouth as I continue.

He stopped and turned around to face me. I looked at him with pleading eyes, hoping he'll say yes. "May I know why you need to be taught how to kiss?"

That made me blush. I didn't think he'd even asked. I couldn't just tell him that I made a bet with Gojo that if he'll kiss me in front of him, he could be my servant for the whole week. And if I don't, he will reveal to Nanami that I had a huge crush on him. Curse him for having ears that could hear words even if it is already a whisper. This bet wouldn't be made if he didn't hear about me crushing over Nanami. Now, I only have three days to do that so I need to lie about it but I don't have any idea right now what to tell him.

"I need to because uhm, I ah," think Ayame, think!

"Yes?"

"I need to because I have a boyfriend. Yeah, that's right," I said, breathing hard and blushing furiously.

He raised an eyebrow at me and asked again, "Don't you think he should be your first kiss?"

"I, well, you see, I don't want to embarrass myself and mess everything up so I need you to teach me please. I'll do anything. Just please say yes," I said with tears forming in my eyes.

He just looked at me for a minute or so and asked again, "why so sudden? Don't you think it's too fast for the both of you?"

Shit, "well, I will be having a date with him in three days and uhm he's from England so I have to, you know, prepare."

"What makes you think I can teach you that?"

"Because you have experience like this before?," that was more of a question than an answer. Stupid, Ayame.

"I'm busy. Go ask Gojo. He'll surely help," he was about to walk away when I held his arm and begged, "No, Nanami. You are perfect for this. I know Gojo's gonna say yes to helping me out but I know too that he will just make fun of me. Please, just this once," I said as I looked at him with my puppy eyes, hopefully he will fall into them.

He stared down at me and all I could do is gulped. My heart is pounding so fast that I almost think he could hear it. Stupid Gojo, and stupid me for saying yes.

He sighed and said, "Alright," after a moment of silence between us. I exhaled my breath that I didn't notice I held it that long.

"But," I groaned. Of course there are buts. "We will do it in my house. When will you wanna start?"

I squealed and couldn't resist hugging him. "Oh, my gosh. Thank you, Nanami! You really are a life-saver," I said and could feel he stiffened out.

We stood there for a while and he cleared his throat. I pulled away immediately, "Oh, sorry, so uhm we can start later at 8. You good with that?"

He only nodded and started walking away towards his car. "Thank you!" And he drove off.

I fidgeted during the ride towards the home of the gorgeous Nanami Kento. I wanted to vomit because of this nervousness. My palms are already sweaty and it felt sticky on my steering wheel. When I saw the house, I pulled over and parked beside his car. I couldn't help but be amazed at the huge house in front me. I walked towards the door and clicked the doorbell once. I waited just a second and Nanami opened it with nothing on top, just his pyjamas and towel on his neck. He's so sexy to look at and couldn't contain myself from biting my lower lip. I so wanna jump myself at him.

"Sorry, just got out from the shower. Come in," he said and moved aside to let me in.

"Oh, uhm, thank you," and entered his house.

"Have a seat. Wait for me there, I'll just go grab a shirt," and he walked away.

I was about to say no and would strongly suggest that it was okay for him to kiss me like that but naah, didn't want to lose the half of my dignity after asking him to teach me how to kiss. Even if I so wanted to touch his sexy abs. I sat down on the couch and waited for him. While doing so, I couldn't resist looking at this huge place. How can someone live in this place alone? Does he have anyone or someone? What does he do in this house? I was admiring the chandelier while having those questions in my head when Nanami said hey.

He sat down beside me and gosh, his biceps are too tempting to touch because of his fitted t-shirt. And he awfully smelled good. I so wanted to jump on him right now, ugh can I just do that? "You ready?"

"Uh, yeah. So uhm what should we do then?"

He smiled a little and moved to sit on the wooden table across me. Even his rare smiles are sexy. His face is inches from mine and I couldn't help myself to blush. I know my face is so red right now.

"First, I wanna know if you kissed anybody before."

"Well, I kissed my godchildren. You know, on the cheek."

"How about on the lips with an adult?"

"Uhm, no," I said and smiled.

"Even a smack?"

"Yeah," awkwardly turning my face away from him. Is this even necessary?

"Hey," he said as he put his finger on my chin to make me face him again, "look at me. Don't ruin the moment."

My heart is beating so fast like it's gonna blow from my chest any minute now. "You have to learn the basics first. Would that be okay?"

I only nodded. I couldn't find my voice because of the feeling I have right now.

"We'll start with a smack. You ready?"

"I guess."

"Don't worry, the first one's simple. All you have to do is pucker up your lips a little. Like this," he showed me while inching forward. "Come on, you try."

I did as what he told me and he said, "good girl."

Oh, gods, my stomach has been filled with butterflies after hearing him say that. "Now, inch closer to me, imagine I am your boyfriend," ℎ𝑜𝑤 𝐼 𝑤𝑖𝑠ℎ 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑒, "feel the moment," 𝐼 𝑎𝑙𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑦 𝑎𝑚, "close your eyes," I did so and all I could smell is his minty breath and manly scent. I could feel his breath inches away from my lips.

And he put his lips against mine. If I would give the new definition of soft, this would be it. "𝐷𝑜𝑒𝑠 𝑚𝑦 𝑙𝑖𝑝𝑠 𝑓𝑒𝑙𝑡 𝑠𝑜𝑓𝑡 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑡𝑜𝑜?," I thought. Few seconds after, he took his lips away from mine. How I wish it wouldn't stop.

"Now, do what I did to you."

"Oh, okay." I inched closer to him and closed the gap between us as he did before. After a few moments, we broke again.

"Congratulations, you have passed lesson 1," he said and smiled. Gosh, can I just kiss this man for the whole night? I don't really mind at all.

I returned the smile too and, "ready for lesson 2?"

All I did is nod. He smiled again, "now, this type of kiss is like a smack. But this time, we have to do it multiple times. Like this," he kissed me again and again on my lips with smacking sounds. I returned the kisses and we giggled everytime our lips met. His hands now are on the each side of my face. He eventually stopped and looked at me.

"Did you get it?"

"Yes!" I said while still giggling.

"Do what I did," I happily obliged and put my right hand on his neck, giggling as I did so.

I stopped but I couldn't stop giggling. He does so too. "I'm sorry, couldn't help it. It's kinda ticklish when we kissed like that."

"No worries," he said and put his hands away and stood up. "That's all for tonight. Come back tomorrow for lessons 3 and 4."

"That's it?"

"Yes, you expected for more?"

"Just that how many types of kisses are there?"

"You'll see," he smirked. "Come on, you have to go home."

I nodded and stood up too, making our way to the front door.

"Thanks, Nanami," I said and bowed down.

"You're welcome. I'll see you tomorrow," he said. I nodded and smiled at him.

I walked towards my car and started the engine. He closed the door after he saw me driving off going home. Couldn't wait for tomorrow.

I got so busy the whole day that I forgot to meet Nanami. Plus an annoying Gojo is pestering me about the bet, reminding me every hour of the day. Good thing Nanami wasn't there or else he'll know the main reason why I asked him to teach me how to kiss.

I drove off towards Nanami's house as fast as I could. It's already 8:30. I parked my car and rang the doorbell. I didn't have to wait long when Nanami opened the door with a smile on his face.

"Hey."

"Hi, I am so sorry I'm late. I --," I couldn't finish what I will be saying when he cuts me off and let me in.

I sat down again on the couch where we first kissed and offered me hot cocoa. I said my thanks and sip.

"I'm sorry again. I didn't notice the time because I was busy and Gojo is annoying."

"I know, I was there," he gave me his sweetest smile while sitting beside me.

"What?"

"I heard you," I stared at him with my blank face and asked, "How?"

"Well, I was told that the meeting was cancelled so I got back there to remind you about today but then I heard about it. So I just work behind you without you noticing after Gojo left," his desk was behind me in the office, by the way.

"What?"

He chuckled and asked, "And I know you didn't eat. Come on, I still have food in the kitchen," he grabbed my cocoa using his right hand and his left grabbed my right, dragging me towards the kitchen. He sat down the cup and let go of my hand.

"Sit there, I'll heat up the food."

"Wait," I said and he turned around to face me.

"So you heard everything?"

He smiled and opened the fridge to get the lasagna and put it on the microwave. He leaned on the counter, hands on his pockets and stared at me. I so wanna kiss him right now.

"Yeah, didn't mean to though."

"Oh," shit. This is shit, I must say. I couldn't breathe. I'm getting nervous. What if he'll not help me? What if we'll stop this? I don't want to stop. I wanna kiss him more.

"I know everything too," all I could do is awkwardly stared back at him and he continues, "but I'll still teach you. If you want me to."

"You're not angry?"

He chuckled again and said, "this is Gojo. I wanna see his reaction when we'll do that. He doesn't know that I know. You don't have to worry."

The ding sound of the microwave is heard, indicating that the lasagna is ready to serve. "Sit, and I'll prepare your food."

I sat down on the dining table and waited. I even forgot that I was hungry until now. He gave me a bowl of lasagna and immediately dig in as he sits beside me. He lets me finish my food before asking.

"You good now?," he said as I finished eating. I nodded and drank my not so hot now cocoa.

"I'm sorry," I said and looked down on my skirt.

"For what?"

"For lying to you."

"It's okay," he said and I looked up to him, "besides, you can use this for your boyfriend."

"I, uhm, I don't have a boyfriend either," still not looking at him.

He stared at me, "so --," I cut him off saying, "This is just all a lie. I -- this happened because of a stupid bet."

I looked at him. A blank expression is on his face. No more smiley Nanami. I was afraid he'd scream at me or whatever! But I still continued.

"I -- I only accepted this because," I looked at him intenly, "because he'll reveal that I have --" I couldn't finish what I was trying to say because he cuts me off.

"But do you really know how to kiss?"

"I -- what?"

"Do you really know how to kiss?"

"I -- no! That is why I asked you so it would not be weird kissing you in front of somebody else! I --" he cuts me off again but this time, his lips made me shut up.

He stopped kissing me and said, "Great! Let's proceed to lessons 3 and 4, shall we?"

His smile came back again and all I could do is stare. "Wait, you're not mad?"

He shrugged, "why won't we surprise Gojo?"

We didn't move from where we seated. We're face to face again and he started explaining. "This type of kiss is an open mouthed kiss."

"Wait, is this the one where you'll involve the tongue?"

He chuckled, "no, minus the tongue. I thought you didn't know how to kiss."

I rolled my eyes and said, "I didn't but that doesn't mean I didn't know about it. I do read you know."

"Okay, Ayame. You ready?"

"Sure am, Mr. K."

He chuckled again and, "Just follow my lead, okay?"

I nodded and move towards him. His hand on my nape as we kissed. This is different from the first kisses we had. This time, it involves saliva. We open our mouths slightly and just enjoy the moment. Suddenly, I felt his tongue licking my lower lip.

I gasped because of the ticklish feeling and his tongue immediately entered my mouth. I wanted to back out but he didn't let me. He pulled me towards him even more. I put my hands on his chest and slowly encircled them on his neck. His hand moved and encircled them on my body too. And he pulled us up, making me moan.

Tongues battling in dominance, hands all over our bodies, and then I gasped when I felt the soft surface. I was being taken into the couch. I didn't notice we were already here. And we kissed again, without thinking it was all a bet. All worries washed away and he stopped in the middle of our tongue kissing, "lessons 3 and 4, passed."

"No more lessons 6-10, sir?"

"Naah, you can always practice with me. Besides your lips are mine. And mine only."

We giggled and resumed to our lip dancing. Forgetting everything else.

"Heeeyyyy, Ayaaaammmeeee."

I heaved a sigh and replied, "Good morning to you too, Gojo."

"I think I already won the bet," he said with a teasing smile.

I scoffed, "What makes you think that?"

"Well --"

He was cut off by someone who said, "I need to borrow Ayame for a while, Gojo."

"Look who's here! Perfect timing, Nanami-kun hehehe."

"What do you want?," his poker face on, crossing his arms.

"You see, Ayame here has a huge crush on you."

I looked at them both, with blank expression. "Your point?," Nanami asked.

"What? No reaction?"

"If you don't have anything good to say, I'll borrow Ayame for lunch."

"Ooohhh, something is going here that I don't know," Gojo said.

I fixed my things to follow Nanami, who was waiting for me in the doorway. I went to him with a smile on my face and he bent down to kiss me. He held my hand and went our way. But before we go, I turned around and face Gojo, whose jaw dropped seeing me with Nanami, "Oh, I'll see you next week, Gojo. You know, for my price. Thanks," I said and winked at him.

When we're out of earshot, we snickered and went out of Jujutsu Tech. That face is totally worth capturing. We hid a camera to capture that moment.
