Chapter 444 - First Kiss (2/2)

”It's a special soup which can have noodles, meats such as beef, chicken or shrimp, onions or chopped scallions, a sliced hard-boiled egg and a spicy and salty broth with soy sauce. It's from Country K, and also known as hangover soup.”

”You mean it really works?”

”Yup,” Kay replied, ”Though I never did try it yet.”

Kay wasn't really worried about getting a hangover as she had chosen drinks that were low in congeners, a substance that is known to exacerbate hangovers.

Drinks that were high in congeners were darkly coloured drinks such as bourbon, scotch and tequila while colourless drinks as vodka, gin and rum were low in congeners.

Also, she had been drinking alcohol and alternating it with water and had been snacking on the peanuts. It wasn't to say that she wasn't slightly tipsy, though.

Her actions this night proved it as she was less inhibited as usual.

Or perhaps it was just her wanting to let loose due to the frustrations that had been piling up.

”Why are you being so nice to me?” the lady whispered.

Kay tilted her head, her hair cascading down the side of her face as she thought about it.

”I can't explain it,” Kay said, ”There is just something about you that wouldn't let me leave you alone. You looked so miserable, really.”

”You're so young and beautiful,” the lady said, ”You should be down there, dancing away and having fun rather than taking care of an old lady like me.”

Kay shook her head, putting a hand on the lady's chin and made her look up.

”Look, why are you constantly putting yourself down?” Kay asked, ”You are a beautiful woman, in your own way and in your own right.”

The lady scoffed, turning her face away, ”You don't have to lie to be nice to me.”

”I'm not lying,” Kay insisted, forcing her to look at her again, ”Do I look like I”m lying?”

Kay waited for an answer, but it was obvious that the lady wouldn't say a word. Sighing, Kay then thought that actions would speak louder than words.

The lady obviously felt ugly, and unworthy of attention - more so by a so-called 'beauty' like Kay. Thinking back on what Kyle had said so long ago, Kay brought her face closer to the lady in front of her.

Kay could see the lady's eyes widening a bit in wonder but didn't pull away.

Smiling softly, Kay closed her eyes and gently placed her lips on hers. When there was no reaction, she began giving soft, slow pecks on the lips. Bottom lips, upper lips ... just brief but repeated and constant kisses.

The lady soon began responding and returning Kay's kisses. It was all innocent kisses ... until Kay felt something slippery brushing past her lips, entering her mouth.
