{ CAN YOU SHOW ME AGAIN?}
“Let’s kiss with your mask on… Idol” Lily replied.
Ricky was taken aback at first,thinking she was joking but her face was screaming seriousness,he didn’t know when he broke into laughter.
“I’m serious,it’s not funny” Lily frowned.
“I can see that,but isn’t that weird?” Ricky asked.
“You seems to have forgotten how crazy I’m over the masked Ricky” Lily replied.
“Oh” Ricky mouthed and chuckled.
“Yh,so are you gonna wear it or not?” She stood crossing her arms.
“Are you disappointed cos my face didn’t match how you pictured me to be?” Ricky asked.
“No… No! That’s not what I meant. You’re very handsome okay? You surpassed my expectations that I can’t even describe your look in words but I still want to be kissed by the masked Ricky,even if it’s just a while” Lily pouted.
“Fine,come with me” He held her hand and they both went to his room.
He opened the drawer where his collections of masks are kepts and pull her to the front.
“Pick anyone you like” He said.
Lily touched them all at once then turn to him.
“I dunno which to choose,they are all so pretty” She gushed.
“Just go with one,I’m getting impatient” Ricky groaned.
“Here… This is my favorite” She grabbed the black one and used it for him.
Ricky immediately held her face,kissing her breathless.
She opened up completely,and his tongue slipped into her toasty mouth.
She shoved her fingers into his hair, and his hand left her face and he held her tiny waist as the kiss became sugarcoated.
Their hunger and desires made it more crazily honeyed,and she wrapped her arms on his neck, pulling him closer as their lips locked harder on each other…
Thier heartbeats echoing the room in one rhymes.
“Your lips are so sweet” Ricky spoke softly,still kissing hard.
“Do you plan on eating them up just tonight?” Lily broke the kiss.
“I didn’t get to kiss you for a week…..”
Lily cut him off by reconnecting their lips in another hard kiss.
She held tightly to his bare arm,and he held her face gently as their lips danced passionately on each other.
They were still kissing affectionately when they both went down on the bed,him on top.
He broke the kiss instantly and she blinked,staring at each other’s eyes deeply.
“I-I’ve to go” Lily stuttered and slip away from his grasps.
“Sleep here” Ricky pulled her back and she fell on his chest.
“But….
“I’m not planning to anything,for now” Ricky cuts in.
“Gosh,I wasn’t talking about that” Lily covered her face as she blush.
“I know,it’s not something to be why about….”
“Stop talking about it,I’m sleepy” She yawned.
“Does that mean you’re really gonna sleep here?” Ricky asked removing his mask and dropping it on the bed stand.
Lily nodded and he returned with a smile. He hugged her and started stroking her hair.
“What about White?”
“She’ll take care of herself” Ricky replied.
Lily chuckled before hugging him back.
“I love you”
“I love you too” She replied with a smile.

•CHARLES’ HOME•
Charles was just stepping out of the shower when he heard the door bell rings.
He opened the door and Kris ran in as if he’s being chased.
“Where is she?” He asked impatiently.
Charles pointed at sleeping Linda on the couch. Kris immediately went to check up on her first before facing Charles.
“You didn’t do anything to her,did you?” He ask flatly.
“What do you think?” Charles replied.
Kris went to him and grabbed his collar.
“Say that again” Kris said roughly.
“Do you honestly think I’ll text you my address if I planned to” Charles said and threw his hands off.
Kris went back to Linda and gently carried her in his arms.
“Why didn’t you tell me you guys are dating?” Charles blocked his way.
“The last time I checked we aren’t close enough to share secrets” Kris replied.
“I clearly told you I’m in love with her during our last meeting and you said nothing. You think finding out now will make give up?” Charles scoffed.
“Good luck trying to win her over” Kris said.
“And stop bringing someone else’s girlfriend to your house just because she’s drunk. This is my final warning” Kris added before walking out.
Kris placed her at the back seat of his car. He drove to her place and took her in.
He easily got since he knows her password.
He head to her room directly. He placed her on the bed and took of her shoes,then her dress leaving her undies.
He covered her up and made to leave but she suddenly pulled him back.
“Don’t leave” She muttered weakly.
“I’ll be in trouble if our manager found out I didn’t spend the night at the mansion” Kris said.
“I know but I don’t want to be alone,can’t you just stay here for tonight?”
Kris said nothing.
“My head hurts” She mumbled.
Kris placed his palm on her forehead.
“You should have known before drinking too much. You know you can’t handle your liquor but you still drank with him” He said hurtfully.
“I couldn’t say no. He said he doesn’t have anyone to have dinner with”
“Do you have to be the one to have dinner with him?” Kris scoffed.
“I’m sorry,it’s won’t happen again. Are you mad at me?” She sat up and held his hand.
“I’m only starting the fact here. Go to sleep….”
“Let’s sleep together” She said pouting.
“Okay then” He laid with her and covered them both with the duvets.
“Does it still hurt?”
Linda nodded.
“Should I make you an hangover soup?” Kris asked.
“No… Let’s just remain this way” She replied and hug him tighter.
“Go to sleep now” Kris said and kissed her forehead.
“Goodnight” She closed her eyes.

•NEXT MORNING•ROSES&PETALS•
“When will you stop blushing and tell me what you both did exactly?” Amelia said impatiently.
“Nothing,just kiss and…..
“And?” Amelia squealed and Lily rolled her eyes.
“What were you expecting me to say? We only kissed and talk,then I spend the night at his place. We only sleep though” Lily said.
“Only that?” Amelia raised her eyebrows.
“Yh,what else?”
“Are you a kid? Do you want me to start teaching you everything? You’re no fun at all’ Amelia shook her head.
“I know what you’re trying to say but…
“But what?”
“Wouldn’t that be too fast? I mean we are just starting to get to know each other and…”
“That shouldn’t be a problem if you both love each other” Amelia grinned.
“Seriously? I still find it hard to believe you’re a f*cking virgin. One could mistake you for a Bîtch” Lily said and they both laughed.
Thier laugh short when the door opened and Kelly came in.
“Kelly?” Lily mouthed in shock.
“What are you doing here?” She went to him.
“Do you have some time to spare?” He asked.
MINUTES LATER*A COFFEE SHOP
“Why do you love bringing me here so much?” Lily asked as Kelly joined her at their table.
“Just because” Kelly replied with a smile.
“Just because?”
Kelly nodded and placed the lemonade he got in front of her.
“Thank you” She took a sip then turn to him.
“What do you want us to talk about?”
“Are you that in a rush to get rid of me?” Kelly ask with a sad smile.
“No! I just… I’ve to return before my boss gets back” Lily replied.
“Still,I thought I was your second favorite idol. I feel betrayed” He sighed.
Lily just stared at him unsure of what to say next.
“I can make it up to you if you want….
“You don’t have to” Kelly cuts in.
“Why?”
“I don’t want your boyfriend’s trouble” Kelly said and her eyes widened.
“B-boyfriend?” She stammered in shock.
Kelly nodded.
“You’re dating Ricky right?” He added and her shock doubled.
“W-what are you talking about?” She chuckled weirdly.
“You don’t have to pretend. I don’t have a problem with it,I’m just sad I gave up too soon on my first love. It’s sad right?”
“Your first love?”
“Yes you. I didn’t even get the chance to express how I feel but it’s okay,I’ll try and move on. I’m happy for you” He said with a smile.
“Thank you” Lily smiled and continue staring at him. She wanted to ask more questions but decided to keep quiet.
“How’s your sister doing?” She found herself asking.
“Fine. She’s getting her surgery soon. I’m looking for a safe place for her to stay after her surgery,can you help with that?” Kelly asked.
“Sure” Lily replied.
“About Ricky….
“You don’t have to worry. Your secrets are save with me” Kelly said with a short smile.

•MP MANSION•KRIS’ ROOM•
“Why are you so angry, exactly? Is it because I didn’t tell you that she’s now my girlfriend, or are you still upset about your girlfriend having a drink with Charles?” Ricky asked Kris, who was venting his anger on a video game alone.
“Both are super annoying, stop talking about it especially Charles” Kris replied.
“I believe she won’t cheat on you,you just have to try and have more time for her from now on. Try distracting her from him” Ricky sat next to him.
“See who’s talking? Why are you here instead of spending more time with your girlfriend?” Kris said mockingly.
“I h@të you” Ricky scoffed.
“I’ll do just that but take your own advise too. You just started dating and you’re making her feel like she’s really dating a celebrity” Kris said.
“But she’s dating a celebrity”
“I know bro. I’m saying don’t make her feel that way,treat her like a normal boyfriend would do. That way she wouldn’t feel you’re too good for her” Kris said.
“I want to. But she’s always working,more like she doesn’t have time for me” Ricky scoffed.
“What more do I need to teach you? You’re too cool,do you need some dating tips?”
“I could really use some”
“You’ve come to the right person” Kris boasted and patted his shoulder.
“So,what do you plan on doing about Charles?”
Kris frowned.
“Don’t mention the @$$hole name again. To think he even took her to his darn house makes me mad. Who knows if he touched her or something,I feel like strangling him”
“Really?” Ricky laughed.
“It’s not funny,I really h@tëd getting involved in this so called love triangle or wh@tëver” Kris scoffed.
“Who’s getting involved in a love triangle?” Trace came in and they both froze.
“Trace?” Ricky called.
“How long have you been here?” Kris asked.
“Just now! Was thinking we could have a quick rehearsal for our upcoming song,what do you think?” Trace said,changing the topic.
“S-sure sure!” The guys replied.
“Will be waiting at the studio. Come out quickly” He started going out but stopped.
Kris and Ricky gulped at once.
“By the way,nice face features you got there Ricky” He smiled and walk out.
“What!” Ricky wondered and Kris covered his face with his hand.
That was when he realized he didn’t had a mask on.
“F*ck!” Ricky cussed and sat back dejectedly.
“You really need to stop this mask of a thing. You don’t plan on hiding your face forever right?” Kris asked.
Ricky said nothing. He grabbed his mask and went out.
“Why’s he always avoiding not talking about it? Did he not trust me enough?” Kris mumbled and left the room too.

•LATER•RICKY’ APARTMENT•KITCHEN•
“You stir it this way.” Lily said to Ricky who was watching her keenly as she whisked the batter in the bowl.
“I wonder how that’s gonna turn into a pancake.” He said.
“Just you watch, it will definitely turn into a pancake.” She said and he simply nodded.
“But didn’t they make pancake just like noodles. We just have to fry it when we buy it rather than go through all these stress.” He added.
“You call this stress when pancake is the simplest dish ever. What would you say when we cook a complex one.” Lily chuckled.
“Who’s the we? I’m never getting into the kitchen to stress myself,don’t play.” He said and Lily laughed.
She shoved the bowl to him going over the cooker.
“Stir that and stop blabbing.” She said and Ricky grumpily began whisking the batter.
“When are you guys releasing a new album?” Lily asked as she lit the cooker.
“Soon. We’re still working on the song.” He said.
“Another bomber! Can’t wait.” She grinned.
“Yeah, being our top one fan. We thought you should be part of the dancing crew.” He said and Lily gasped.
“Me?!”
“Mhm mm.” He nodded and she blinked.
“But I can’t dance…”
“I saw you the other day. You were great.” He said sarcastically and she could feel it.
“You little nosy poky… You’ve been spying on me…” She gritted and he smirked.
“I didn’t intentionally do it, but you always left your windows open so I couldn’t stop myself from bumping to a horrible dancer over and over again. Who did you say is your bias again coz you obviously didn’t learn those dance steps for me.” He said and Lily who had been accvmulating a handful of flour in her palms while he said all that immediately let it out on his face when he was done.
“You slow witted… Jerk! Rascal! I h@të you!” She yelled hitting his chest.
Ricky laughed and turn off the cooker,pulling her away from it lightly.
“What?”
“You might want to try to impress me? Who knows I might change my mind? Show me what you’ve got?”
“What do you mean?”
“The dance? Can you show me again?”
