Lulu's feet never felt heavier as she finally escaped from explaining to True just why she had be 'sucking some hot guy's - umm...forget I said that, Jimmy. No prob, Tru - face" Although, as she became literally FROZEN in the lobby, she wished True could've asked a few more questions.

There was Ryan, sitting on True's desk, fiddling with the remote for the snack bar. Not pressing it at all - a tell-tale sign that he was upset.

"So...what're you gonna do?" Oscar's voice made her jump and look at him, with his smug look and all.

"Man, word gets 'round fast."

"No, Amanda was singing it all through my coffee break." Oscar rested his chin on his fingers. "And what part of your plan actually made sense?"

Lulu bit her lip and stared off into space, suddenly a sappy smile on her face. "The part where Ryan would get really jealous, swooped me from Jimmy's arms, said 'You're not doing it right' and gave me a deep, passionate, french kiss." Lulu spun on her toes, wrapping her arms around herself in a very 'Broadway-style' way.

Oscar couldn't help but let a smile hit him. "While that does sound like something Ryan might do, you have to remember that you and Ryan are dating - " With the stress on the word, Lulu cringed, "and what you did does still count as cheating in some people's books and those people will still be very mad." Oscar took a glance in Ryan's direction. "And apparently, your little explanation to me has made him even more mad."

Lulu stopped in her romantic day-dreaming long enough to look back at Ryan's figure, who was mimic-mouthing to the remote, turning it this way and that. "Oh boy." She squared her shoulders, walking confidently into True's office.

Yea, right. That all flew as soon as she stepped on the threshold.

Lulu opened her mouth to gain Ryan's attention and a silent squeak came out instead. She could feel her arms shaking and leaned against the door-frame. She breathed, taking that shaking arm and knocking her fist against the metal.

Ryan met her eyes. Good sign.

He scoffed and went back to the remote. Bad sign.

Lulu whined and trudged into the office, flopping on the couch and hugging a red heart-shaped pillow to her chest - how convenient - and looked at Ryan. "Ry, I can explain what happened in there."

"Oh, just forget. Just...go back to your...new...boyfriend." Ryan's lower lip pushed itself out more and more with every word he said, ending in a cute, little pout.

Lulu huffed once more and stood, the pillow still hugged to her chest. "Ryan, you know I don't like anybody other than you. I just kissed Jimmy 'cause..." At this, she sat on True's desk, looking down at the fluff of the pillow. "well...you wouldn't kiss me..."

"THAT'S WHY?!" Ryan shot up, True's remote long forgotten. "Why didn't you just say something? I thought you wanted to take things slow!"

Lulu jumped off the desk, staring up at him with bright eyes. "We've been dating for six months! That's slow enough for a kiss!"

Without warning, Ryan grabbed Lulu's shoulders and kissed her.

Lulu let the pillow drop and wrapped her arms around Ryan's neck, smiling into the kiss.

One thought went through her mind; Operation: First Kiss = SUCCESS!
