Gregory’s eyes were fixed on mine, his voice laden with meaning. “She said if I’m serious about pursuing you, I should always be ready to move in together, and have all these feminine products stocked up.”

My cheeks flushed. “Who said anything about moving in? Besides, we’re just friends right now!”

“Alright, alright,”

He pulled me closer, his lips meeting mine in a brief, sparkling kiss. “Friends who can kiss and hug: Are you satisfied with that?”

“Stop it, you’re being a rascal!”

I felt a mix of embarrassment and annoyance, quickly standing up to escape his hold.

Gregory grasped my wrist, looking up at me. “Then what are we, according to you?”

“I’m not telling.”
