Sleeping peacefully in the bed, Naveah was cradling something to her chest thinking it was a pillow. The sun was beaming through the blinds. She opened her eyes as she felt something weird about the pillow and saw herself grabbing onto Zane like a koala.
She gasped in silence and slowly withdrew her arms and legs so he doesn't wake up. She suddenly glanced at him and noticed his bristly eyebrows and sharp jawline, his silky jet-black hair slid down his ear on the cheekbones that made him look very appealing.
"Did Tessa look this handsome to me before?" Naveah thought to herself when she brushed her hand on his cheek to move the hair and caught the sight of light blue eyes staring at her.
"Y-you're awake!!?" Naveah flinched and was about to take back her hand when Zane grabbed her wrist and placed his silken lips on her hand.
"How can I not be when you're staring at me like that...Baby~?" Zane said while softly biting the tip of her finger.
"B-ba-baby..?! Why're you calling me that?" Naveah turned red and started blinking.
"We're dating from today, that makes you my girlfriend. So who else would I call baby? Or perhaps you prefer honey? Mommy, sweety? Suger baby, cutie p-" Naveah grabbed his mouth "That's enough, stop! Maybe you should become a vocabulary teacher now." She shook her head right-left while smirking.
"I will if you wish that, I love you." Zane licked her hand and moved closer for a kiss but Naveah placed a kiss on his cheek and ran away before he could react. Zane was left dazed and shocked with his eyes widened.
Naveah walked to the washroom and locked the door.
"I never thought I'll end up like this with my friend. Oh my God....! But I'm feeling so warm and she's so sweet. Her lips were.....so soft" Naveah brushed her fingers on her lips as she thought about last night's kiss. "I'm glad we didn't do more than kissing. I wasn't ready for it. Wait, we're both girls...How will we do it anyway?" She got lost in deep thought until zane called out to her "Are you ok in there Naveah? Need any help?"
"Ah! N-no it's fine. I'm almost done."(Navee)

"You look extra pretty today, maybe beacuse of your new hairstyle." Nick said with a straight face.
The dumpling Samantha was holding, fell on the bowl while she looked at Nick with her nose wrinkled and upper lip pulled up "What? You cringe creep, you even notice my hairstyles?"
"....Don't people usually feel happy after being complimented? Why're you making such a disgusting face? Ah! You must be that thing they call tsundere." Nick smirked.
"I'm the opposite of that, and I'll be glad if you button up that futile mouth of your's" Samantha pointed to her lips.
"yeah, your lips are pretty too," Nick rested his face on his hand while staring at her lips.
"Argh for God's sake...! Sho-" She got interrupted by the weight on her back. Samantha turned back to see Navee's face landing on her back.
"What's wrong with YOU? Aren't you supposed to start working today?" (Samantha)
"Yeah but that's not the issue. The main point is, I'm not single anymore." Naveah grabbed her hair into ponytails and covered her face.
"why? Did someone make you pregnant? (Samantha)
"No! Tessa and I started dating from today." (Naveah)
Nick dropped his jaw, Samantha's eyes were about pop out of her head.
"Are you crazy? Like how? What the hell happened in one night? Do you really love her?" Samantha's pupils were spinning.
The two of them sat with their eyes squinted and jaws slacked as Naveah described the whole history except for the part where Oliver was the mafia boss.
Samantha was dazed with a smile on her face.
"I think her brain cells stopped working." Nick squeezed Samantha's cheeks. Suddenly someone came and called out to Nick. So he went out to chat.
"I see...That shit of a CEO succeeded to snatch you away. Sigh...as long as she treats you well and makes you happy..."(Samantha)
"What about you? Didn't you say you'll get married straight?"(Navee)
"Well....I haven't found...anyone yet..probably?" Samantha said while twirling her hair.
"Owwhh?? Your face says otherwise! Who is it hmm??" Naveah nudged her arm.
"It's nothing important though....well...I think I have feelings for Nick...but he's too much of an idiot to get it, so I think it'll never work out." Samantha squeezed her lips together while looking down. "So I don't let it show, I'm sure I can get over it if I try. So don't worry about it, it's normal" Samantha waved her hand while laughing.
"What're you saying? Nick isn't like that! He's only li-" Suddenly Nick popped out and cut her off "Hey I've got a mission now see you guys in the evening. Forgot my bag here" Nick took his bag and left.
"What the.....I thought he left. My heart almost dropped, jeez" Samantha said while caressing her throat. "But why aren't you getting any work today?"
"I dunno, maybe officer David's feeling guilty after sending me in the mafia's zone. What about the investigation?"(Naveah)
"Things are quiet for now...there wasn't any murder for 8 days now, I don't know what the culprit is thinking." (Samantha)
"Hmm....I don't feel like going to the PBI today, I'll just annoy Tessa in her office then" Naveah stretched her arms.

EVENING TIME-
Samantha walked through the quiet street where the evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. She stopped for a moment to look at the sky as the gentle breeze hit her face and she closed her eyes while saying in a faint voice "I'm feeling more helpless after saying it, I hoped he'd get it."
To her surprise, she felt someone grabbing her head from behind. She turned to see Nick who was holding a bag of snacks.
"So Naveah and Ms Juvia are dating now. What're you gonna do about it now?"Nick said while walking along with Samantha.
"We have to wait 2 more weeks to get all the info. Let's lay low and play dumb for the time being. Tch, I was about to ask her about their intimation today but I held back for the sake of purity" (Samantha)
"If they became lovers then what does that make us?"(Nick)
Samantha froze for a moment but then she continued "Single old people, probably?" Samantha scoffed.
The street became even darker and quiet when Nick grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him.
He gazed at her eyes and lips while saying "Nothing more? What if I want us to be something more?"
