Seeing me enjoying the gossip with unconcealed excitement, Olivia looped her arm through mine, laughing. "Looks like you've truly forgotten Vanessa." Her sudden closeness made my breath catch in my throat. Flushing, I pushed her away. "Don't get so close when you talk. It's... not appropriate." "What's inappropriate? You're my boyfriend now." The more I protested, the closer she pressed, until I was helplessly entangled. "I never agreed to that." "Nonsense. You acquiesced." "Honestly, you're incorrigible." I shook my head, but a smile played on my lips. Olivia, recognizing my surrender, was instantly ecstatic. "You finally accepted me!" She jumped up, threw her arms around my neck, and planted a loud kiss on my cheek. I was stunned. Before I could react, she kissed me several more.
