His eyes wouldn't stop ogling Daisy's flat tummy as she walks towards the beach house with her girlfriends - Jupiter, Maya and Leslie. I know it would be hard for them to accept the situation but this, I don't like.

"What the hell, dude? Why you ogling at her body like that?" I stepped in front of him and blocked the view.

Shawn scratched the back of his neck as his cheeks flushed at being caught. "You've got to be fucking kidding me. I mean... that belly is as flat as a flounder and she's already three months pregnant. Why wouldn't I be surprised?"

"That wasn't what bothers me. The fact that my serene, angelic best friend did something more naughty than what I expected. And guess what? With the notorious bad girl!" Eric's eyes were as wide as a saucer.

We just got back from the concert and the captain had already left with the yacht. It was sunset and the sky looks beautiful. The concert was of an upcoming musical artist. I never heard any of his songs but I was impressed by how talented he was. He was young and talented and all the girls were fangirling and crying over him. I'm sure he's going to break dozens of hearts if he becomes an internationally recognized superstar.

His songs were quite alright. Some were that of broken relationships while some were love and shitty stuff like that. I enjoyed the electronic songs too; those that you feel vibrating inside you. It makes you want to shout out and sing along with him. We weren't exactly in the front row but we were at a secure place where we can see what's happening on stage. Most importantly, Daisy savored the concert.

She was happy and that was all that mattered. She sang along some of the lyrics with her girlfriends and recorded what the performance. From time to time, our gaze met and we would happily stared at each other. She offered a soft smile and I returned back all the time.

"But I'm wondering about one thing." Korbin doesn't seemed convinced.

"Yeah?" I said.

He stepped on the deck floor of the beach house balcony and stopped. "Daisy accidentally got pregnant from you the night of my party. You never liked her but I'm not sure whether you currently do or not. What about your feelings for Jenna?"

In the short time I spent with Daisy, I understood how so many things have changed. There were differences and similarities. Jenna's a beautiful bliss with a pure compassionate soul and easy to love. I like her as a soulmate but not in a romantic way. The things I saw in her was what I taught myself was the right choice in choosing the right partner. I lied to myself and pretended girls like her are the normal, sweet girls guys should have in life. But of course, Daisy taught me a lesson.

Sometimes, you can't decide what is good for you. Sometimes, you can't control your heart falling for the wrong person. It doesn't matters that you're perfect. Being perfect is boring. Solving problems is like an adventure and when it ends, the fun dies. And life without adventures is nothing. Daisy proved to me it's not wrong to love the imperfect person. It's we who decide to be happy and not others.

I'm sure Jenna has someone special out there for her but I'm definitely not her type. We don't deserve each other. I've never being in love so I had no experience. I thought my feelings were that of a lover but I was wrong. It was her lively character that intrigued me but I see it everyday in my youngest sister, Eden. I can't possibly romantically like a person that resembles my sister a lot.

"Yes," I started, "I like Jenna but in a platonic way."

Eric dangerously wiggled his eyebrows at me and gave me a knowing smirk. "Attaboy, you found love, hmm?"

"We found love in a hopeless place, we found love in a hopeless place..."

I grabbed Eric's hand and wrapped my arm around his neck playfully. I tightened my grip when he started to struggle out of my grasp. He started to mumble against my arm before I reluctantly let him go. Korbin and Shawn were sneeringly chortling at him.

"Why wouldn't they go crazy about him? He's probably the new Shawn Mendes!" Was the first we heard from a bouncing Leslie the moment we stepped inside.

The girls were in the kitchen around the lovely strawberry cake we baked before we left. I have no doubt they were talking about the singer.

Maya's eyes were fixed on her phone. "According to my research, Knox Everett is a twenty-one year old upcoming singer. Was born in Texas to a third class family and his parents were farmers struggling to provide for their little family. He dropped out of school to persuade a singing career."

"I gathered he has millions of followers on his social media." Leslie said.

"You bet right." Maya smirked. "But he's currently single. Maybe we can..."

I cleared my throat as we approach the table. Like a magnate to a metal, Jupiter hurriedly threw herself on Eric who happily gathered her in his arms. He settled on a stool and grabbed her until she fell on his laps. They were kissing a few seconds later and I couldn't bare to watch.

"We're also humans, guys. I think the PDA is too much for us to handle." Daisy complained as she come up behind me. They turned a deaf ear on her anyway.

Before I could blink my eyes, Daisy stuffed her hand into the amazingly decorated cake and took her a fistful piece. She threw it at the couple making out. They gasped and immediately broke off. The cake was all over their faces and hair and I couldn't hold back the laughter.

"Daisy! Why would you do that?" Maya surprisingly asked.

"It's pretty obvious. They wouldn't listen to any of us. It's what they deserved." Shawn said between giggles. Daisy shrugged in agreement.

Jupiter shook her head furiously and grabbed a piece too. She rubbed her hands on her best friend in revenge and sighed with satisfaction. Daisy chuckles as she rub off the cake. "Want a cake fight? Fine."

And then, it began. These adult teenagers started throwing the poor strawberry cake towards each other. It was like like snow fight unfolding except it wasn't snowing. Those that weren't a part before joined and were having fun. They were hiding behind anything they could find while aiming at each other. I guess the cake was baked for useless purpose.

Smack!

I closed my eyes at the impact of cake icing thrown directly on my face. I wiped it with the back of my hand to see the intruder. Daisy of course smirked and waved at me. I should have known not to stand like a zombie in a battle field. Her upper body and outfit was completely spoilt with the patches of cake.

I walked towards her menacingly and just before I grab her, she ran off to the stairs expecting me to go after her. She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively as if to invite me to come after her. I bolted after her carelessly climbing the stairs but Daisy was too fast. I could hear her giggles as she approaches the bedroom. I almost made it to the door when she shut it and clicked the lock. I banged on the door but she refused to open up.

"Open the door!" I said with a smile.

"Not until I change. Go change!" She yelled back.

"Police! I'm a cop and I'm here to arrest you for abusing Zack Alan Hudson with a cake." I cringed at my own joke.

Her voice was a lot more softer and closer. "Really? I hardly call that abuse, officer. But maybe you'll look sexy in a police uniform."

I inched closer to the door and pressed my hand on it. "Are you trying to flirt with your officer?"

She chuckled. "Would that hurt?"

"No. In fact, I enjoy flirting with you. Perhaps it wouldn't be difficult if we end the day with a simple kiss." What the heck was I thinking? I'm acting like some sex crazed maniac suddenly.

"You promise?" She said without any hesitation.

"Promise."

"Youngblood
Say you want me
Say you want me
Out of your life..."

I emptily stared at my peers as they sang along the lines of the song. I like the song but it wasn't what was on my mind. I was waiting for Daisy to see if she was as eager to kiss me as I am.

I watch as Eric wraps his arm around Jupiter and holds her hand as they dance to the music. Their lips were syncing to the song and were moving according to the beats. There dance isn't just movement but like a form of communication between them. I could see the love and joy in their eyes as they lovingly stared at each other. I could see the beauty in it as they gracefully twisted their bodies and playfully sway their hips. It was the first time I feel jealous of my best friend. He has a beautiful girlfriend that honestly loves him back. Lucky bastard. It was what I want and I hope I get it in the near future.

A moment passed by before Daisy appeared on the stairs. She strode down barefoot and dressed in a red floral wrap dress. Her hair was damp. It made me want to touch it and run my fingers through it. Her face was free of makeup. She has a beautiful smile displayed on her lips and her eyes were staring right into my soul. That new makeover gave her a pure, angelic look I appreciate.

"You push and you push and I'm pulling away
Pulling away from you
I give and I give and I give and you take, give and you take..."

She started syncing to the song with a genuine smile as she approached me. I stood up and took a step forward. She stopped right in front of me, her eyes leveled to my chest. As if feeling the music inside her, she shut her eyes but I could see them moving.

"You promised me a kiss." She softly said with her eyes still closed. A huge grin was trying to plaster itself on her lips but she was forcing it back.

Mindful of my friends, I pulled her closer until our bodies were brushing against each other. Even though she was taller than average, I was still several inches taller. I brought her closer, nuzzling the right side of her face with mine. Her alluring scent filled my nostrils and I've never smelled something more heavenly than hers. It was feminine and lovely and I could smell it all day. I brought a few damp strands to my nose and closed my eyes as I smell the naturally enticing scent. Her breath seemed to catch in her throat.

"Are you guys finally going to kiss?! Please do! I need some entertainment for my social media account!" Maya said with sleek interest in her voice.

The music was soon lowered down and they had form a group.
"Kiss!" They said in a union.

Neither Daisy nor me acknowledged them. Instead, I pulled her up and my mouth descend down to hers. It was a pure bliss. I felt her body went limp and her chest heaved against me. I had wanted to kiss him like this, wanted to know what it would be like, but never in a million years had I thought kissing Daisy Coleman would be this good. It ignites passion and fireworks between us. I pulled her even tighter as my excitement grew and our breaths became quicker.

Her very smell was flooding my senses. Her lips were soft and full against mine and her mouth was warm. It wasn't a fiery, demanding kiss but a passionate first kiss. It was slow and soft, comforting in ways that words would never be. It was as if the world fell away and it was just the two of us. She ran her fingers down his the naked skin of my neck, pulling him closer until I'm pretty sure she could feel the beating of my heart against her chest. My hands drifted to her hips and stayed there.

I kissed several girls during my junior high school but none of them could compare with Daisy - not that I'm comparing. She was an expert and enjoyed every single second of the kiss. Our breath mingled as she grant me access for entrance. I licked the seam of her mouth before delving my tongue inside. It was a very sloppy yet heated kiss. None of us wanted to pull away because of the endless pleasure. I savor her fingers running through my hair and the sweet taste of her mouth.

When we finally parted for oxygen, we were breathing heavily. We stared at each other's eyes and pressed our foreheads together. I beamed with pride when I saw the the mixture of delight and pleasure in her eyes. Not to forget the very swollen lips.

Our friends were wolf whistling and bellowing at us but none of that matters. This was the best kiss of my life and I'll forever cherish this moment.

"I fulfilled my promise. I'll always do."

A kiss?! It seems like Jenna was long forgotten. Do you guys remember the time Zack was all over her? How about when Daisy was called 'Candy'? #sisterlywar😂
