The notebook and a kiss

After getting the notebooks for his class from Towa, Rean delivered them to his classmates. The last notebook he held in his hands was Alisa's. Curious about her family name he took a closer look on the first page.

This book belongs to

Alisa Reinford

Rean hesitated for a brief moment, then he noticed the connection between the 'RF' on his ARCUS and Alisa's family name.

So her family owns the Reinford factory. Hmm…

He already had knocked on the door and while pondering on her name, didn't recognise Alisa's "Yes?". A moment later, she opened the door. When she saw Rean, her face changed and she asked coldly: "What do you want?"

"Ahm … I …" He felt suddenly a bit nervous about knowing what she clearly didn't want anyone to know.

She deliberately introduced herself as Alisa R., so obviously she wanted to hide which family she belongs to.

Alisa crossed her arms and asked again: "What do you want?"

She is beautiful! What is this feeling? All of a sudden I would like to kiss her.

After briefly hesitating, he said outright: "I know your full name. I am sorry, but I just read it in your notebook. I was too curious." He hastily added: "Instructor Sara asked me to deliver it."

Alisa kept silent while glaring at him.

Then she suddenly pulled him into her room and closed the door. She demanded him angrily to promise not to tell anyone and Rean immediately complied. She sat down on her bed and said with a cold voice: "Now go away and don't bother me any longer!"

Rean looked at her and couldn't tell why, but something had changed between the two of them. He hesitated and sat down next to her. She was just about to say something when he started to talk. "You are so beautiful! For some reason I don't fully understand, I would really love to kiss you right now!"

Then he got very silent and Alisa looked at him with eyes wide open. Her cheeks turned a tiny bit red and she opened her mouth a few times without saying anything.

Why did I say this? It's completely inappropriate! I need to say something, anything to make this situation less awkward.

But before he could think further, Alisa began to talk. "Okay, Rean… Let us kiss."

Rean was thunderstruck.

What … what did she just say?

Alisa got up and locked the door. She smiled. "It's best to keep this between ourselves, don't you think?" Rean nodded mechanically. He struggled to his feet just when she said: "You may kiss me now."

He moved a bit closer put his arms around her shoulders. "Alisa …", he muttered and then their lips met.
