No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 176



"Uh?" I hadn't really thought about it.

Probably not, considering I've only kissed a few people in my life. Even with Conrad, whom I've had the biggest crush on for ages, I only stole kisses when he was sick and weak or passed out from a few too many beers. But those were just pecks on the cheek or the back of his hand.

But just now, with Ernest, it was a real, full-on lip lock, something even Conrad and I rarely shared.

When Conrad kissed me, it was always just a peck on the cheek or forehead, never anything more.

He once said, "Felicia, we're too close, I just can't make that move."

At the end of the day, it's probably because he's not in love. They say that when a man and woman kiss, the dopamine that gets released is uncontrollable.

So if you can control it, it means there's no love.
