As I entered the empty ladies' room, I realized there was no rush for me to return to the table where my fruends are seated. Taking advantage of the moment, I decided to touch up my makeup. Glancing at my reflection in the mirror, I saw my round face looking back at me. Throughout my life, people had always described me as "cute" because of my full cheeks, Barbie-like eyes, small nose, and pouty lips, all complementing my petite 5ft 4inches frame.Suddenly, someone enters the restroom. Glancing up at the mirror, I flash a friendly smile at the woman who caught my attention. Returning the gesture, she utters a simple "Hi" before disappearing into one of the vacant toilet stalls behind me. Taking a moment to touch up my appearance, I lightly powder my face and delicately apply a thin layer of lip-gloss. Finally satisfied, I step out of the restroom and proceed towards the lobby that leads to the restaurant area.As I navigate my way through the room, my eyes catch sight of a man approac

It's time to go brush your teeth," Mrs. Peterson interjected, guiding them

Yet, her radiant expression reveals a joy that could rival a lottery victory."Give me all the juicy details, right this instant!" she commands with authority, gracefully seating herself in one of the chairs across from my desk. "Spill it!"I chuckle. "Calm down, Jane. It's not as dramatic as you think. Besides, I already shared everything with you.""No, you haven't. Start from the very beginning—when you unexpectedly ran into him at the restaurant, and then... the kiss. How did it happen? Who initiated it? Why would you even kiss someone you've never met before?

I had secretly harbored hopes that he would guide me to his bedroom instead, where he would sensually undress me, and we would engage in a passionate encounter akin to those portrayed in romantic movies.
