Chapter 804 - Going Smoothly

Yuri: "..."

Brandon: "..."

They didn't expect that they would pick up this challenge. Seriously? Kissing each other on the lips in public.

Yuri and Brandon met each other's gaze, still undecided whether to accept the challenge or not.

But Yuri said she would love to have the souvenir made by a national artist in sculpture. However, kissing was something they hadn't done as they were not even romantically involved with each other.

Would they be able to do it? This would be their first time kissing each other as a new couple. Damn! Both of them couldn't decide.

Soon, the audience started cheering for them. 

"Kiss! Kiss Her!"

Some even whistled while waiting for Yuri and Brandon to do the challenge.

Yuri's cheeks became scarlet red from embarrassment. She didn't know how she would react.

Meanwhile, Brandon kept darting his gaze between the crowd and Yuri, scratching the back of his head. He wasn't sure if Yuri would allow him to kiss her.

Then he looked at her with eyes asking for permission. 'Should I kiss you or not?'

Yuri just bit her lips before nodding her head. She did it! She gave Brandon permission to kiss her. She also wanted to try and to assess her feelings.

If she couldn't bear to kiss him, it only meant it was impossible for her to be attracted to him or even fall for him. At least, she wanted to find out if they had physical attraction. If they had it already then real feelings would just eventually come.

Others shrieked when Brandon began to move closer to Yuri. She just stood on her spot, her heart beating so fast especially when Brandon raised his hand to hold her face.

Brando was also nervous as his hand began to sweat. Gosh, this was not the first time he was kissing a girl so why was he so nervous?!

Maybe he didn't want her to feel awkward after this kiss. Damn! He planned on taking his time knowing Yuri. Kissing her on their first date was not included in his plan.

'It looks like I have to skip a few bases and go for a home run…' he thought to himself jokingly just to relax.

The pounding of Yuri's heart became so loud as Brandon was slowly drawing his face closer to her. She just found herself closing her eyes and she felt soft lips touching hers.

Yuri could feel Brandon gently brushing her lips with his. At first, her lips remained close, not moving at all. But later on, she began to respond, mimicking the movement of Brandon's lips.

Another loud cheer was heard coming from the audience but Yuri and Brandon couldn't hear them anymore as their attention was focused on each other.

Brandon continued to nibble on her lower and upper lips. Yuri was doing the same thing. Before they knew it one minute had already passed and they accomplished the challenge.

When they broke apart, they were greeted by the teasing smiles of the people around them. They looked good together as a couple. Others also congratulated them.

Yuri couldn't stop herself from blushing, her cheeks were scarlet red as she felt so hot. She had to admit that the kiss was amazing. She didn't hate it at all.

'Does it mean I am physically attracted to Brandon?' She pondered to herself, chewing on her lower lip.

After getting their souvenir, Brandon pulled Yuri out of the Sculpture section. He knew she felt a little bit embarrassed facing those people who witnessed them kissing together.

They continued roaming around the museum as they proceeded to the historical relics section. Though they were trying to forget what happened in the sculpture section, both Brandon and Yuri couldn't get it out of their minds. They felt distracted. 

In the end, they finished their tour around the museum and decided to proceed to their next destination. Movie Theater! They were both quiet during the entire journey. No one mentioned the kiss.

After watching movies, the two moved on to having their lunch in a romantic restaurant. Brandon already reserved a spot for them. The two continued their date as usual.

"Do you like the food?" Brandon asked her.

"Yes. I love seafood. The shrimp and the crabs!" Yuri responded enthusiastically.

Brandon chuckled. "I'm glad you like it. Eat more so you can gain weight. I think you are so thin. You should be healthy to take care of your patients."

"Aye, sir!" Yuri responded, there was a gleam of humor in her eyes.

"Ahem, remember I am your patient too!" Brandon said, patting his chest where his heart was located.

Yuri could only smile while shaking her head helplessly.

After lunch, they went to the park just walking around. They chose a spot where they could take shelter from the sun. They found a big old tree. They sat on the ground under that tree, sitting next to each other.

"How is your day so far? Is your boyfriend doing a good job? Please let me know." Brandon turned to look at her, anticipating her reply.

Yuri gazed at him, meeting his eyes before she answered him. "Honestly, I am enjoying your company," She said with a glowing smile on her face.

Then Brandon's eyes fell on those red soft lips that he had just kissed a while ago.

"How was it?" He suddenly asked her.

"Huh?" Yuri didn't get his question. "Are you referring to what?"

Brandon smiled sweetly and said, "The kiss. How was it? How did you feel about it?"

Yuri was rendered speechless because of his direct question. Brandon was dying to know her thoughts. Finally, he found the chance to ask her.

"Tell me honestly. Did you hate it? Did you feel disgusted?" 

"No! Of course not!" Yuri promptly responded. Her silence didn't mean she didn't like it.

"Are you sure?" Brandon asked her, feeling anxious. "What if you are telling me this in order not to hurt my feelings?" He put on a pitiful face while pouting.

Yuri sighed deeply as Brandon didn't want to believe her. Without saying another word, Yuri moved to her side facing Brandon. She grabbed his shirt, pulling him to her as she sealed his lips with her own lips.

Brandon: (0_0)

She kissed him! She did that to convince Brandon she didn't hate that kiss nor feel disgusted about it.
