Victory?

Colleen blinked up at him, speechless. She trembled as Kaiser let out a sinister laugh, as if he had been waiting for this very moment for a while now.

And in response, Colleen's awkward chuckle reverberated throughout her home, masking her uneasiness as she slowly took a step back. She could feel and hear her heart pounding heavily inside her, like a living dragon that shook the two mountains in front of her chest with each roar.

The look in Kaiser's eyes, she knew what it means. She had seen that look so many times before she couldn't even count how many, and had even experienced the true intent held in those adorable eyes.

Wait, no… those eyes weren't adorable at all! She shook her head in denial as she continued to step back, prompting Kaiser to walk closer until she had nowhere else to run, her back hitting the wooden wall. Those eyes were wild, wild like a hungry beast's.

"Kaiser…y- you should go home now, don't you think?" Colleen finally voiced out, her voice faint. "There…there isn't anything for you to do here, honestly."

As if he didn't hear, Kaiser suddenly pressed both hands against the wall on either side of Colleen's head to keep her from escaping, puckering his lips as he leaned in expectantly for a kiss – and she slapped him, slapped him so hard his head nearly swung off his shoulders.

He tumbled to the side from the force as he tenderly held his reddening cheek with his hand, stinging with Colleen's handprint on it. "Aww! And what the hell was that for?" he groaned, hissing his pain. But when he turned back, she had already disappeared.

"Don't follow me, b*stard!" she screamed. "Go home where you belong!" Colleen bolted down the hall into the bathroom as soon as her hand landed on his face, hoping to get as far away from him as possible. She must run at all costs! Who knows what would happen if either of them stayed put? She might as well lock herself in the bathroom until her parents came back if necessary! And wait…wasn't this…harassment?

Her train of thought was abruptly cut off when Kaiser's hand came between the door and the doorframe right before it closed, and he let out a scream, writhing as his fingers were ruthlessly clamped on.

"Sh*t-!" Colleen cursed.

"H- hey, wait!" Kaiser cried as he pushed against the bathroom door to get it to open. "What are you running for? I just wanted a kiss!" However, Colleen wasn't going to easily let him win, for she here, was holding on with all her strength, fighting for her own life prestige.

"What kiss are you talking about?!" Colleen blurted in ridicule. "How despicable! Go away! Remove your filthy hands! You're invading my personal space and that's a crime!" She grunted, clenching her teeth as she slammed her shoulder against the door, but it moved against her as Kaiser won the battle of strength.

Bogsh!

Colleen fell back, her round butt hitting the bathroom floor as the door flung open all the way. Kaiser entered, sucking in a sharp breath of air as he flicked his hand back and forth, his fingers still throbbing with agony.

"What 'invading personal space' are you even talking about?" Kaiser complained. "I should be the one accusing you of that! Remember inside the dungeon, that hand of yours gone wild and touched my ding-dong!"

Colleen's eyes widened, dumbstruck. She began to remember the feeling of Kaiser's ding-dong in her left hand right before the moment Blaze caught them red-handed, and suddenly, she was itching to look down at her hand. But she can't just admit that now, can she?

"Y- you must be imagining things! I didn't do that!" Colleen shouted. "Even if I did, who's the one that touched my breasts first, huh?! You crazy f*ck!" She tried to convince him otherwise, but to her horror, it only led him to walk closer.

Colleen scrambled further back across the bathroom floor. "No- no- no you don't! Don't come near or else I will shout! I admit it, alright? W- We can talk it out but you have to stay at least five feet away from me! Please, Kaiser, I beg you!" She squeezed her eyes shut, pressing her hands together in front of her face in prayer.

Kaiser came to halt, suddenly realizing the reality of their situation from the other's perspective. "O- oh, I'm sorry!" he frantically apologized, stepping back with his hands raised. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Don't worry, I can wait until we're married!"

"…buuuut I still want a kiss before I go home…please?" Kaiser added, innocently scratching the back of his head, feeling awkward now that he realized how out of line his actions were. He didn't really mean to make Colleen so uncomfortable, scared to the point that she would run away.

Colleen softened, eyes twinkling as she listened to his soft voice murmuring how much he liked her. To be honest, she thought Kaiser would have forgotten about all that after a few days and start once more on his flirting spree with other women.

"Kiss? Hey, you're at fault, too!" she retorted, pointing her finger accusingly at Kaiser's face. "You- you said you were just going to touch! But you...you embarrassed me in front of my best friend! How dare you!"

"I- I'm sorry! Y- yeah, I crossed the line there. But…you liked it, didn't you?" he asked straightforwardly, grinning shamelessly.

Colleen's face burned as red as a tomato. How could he just talk about it so openly? Has he no shame? She couldn't even say what happened out loud even if she remembered it all in detail.

"THAT'S NOT THE POINT, DUMB*SS!" Colleen screamed at the top of her lungs in exasperation. "You crossed the line and so I did, too! Let's not talk about this anymore, okay? Go home now, Kaiser," she begged. "Please!"

"Uh…okay, you're right. But…just one kiss. Just one, and I'll go home." He dropped on his knees, pleading relentlessly.

Colleen gritted her teeth and sighed in surrender. She knew there was no way he was going to leave without one. Besides, they've already kissed once before, it wouldn't hurt her to let him kiss her again, right?

"Okay…okay, just one kiss," she said reluctantly.

Delighted, Kaiser immediately stopped everything he was doing and scooted towards her like a wyrm, leaning in once more for a kiss. A promised one, at that.

A devious grin slowly spread across her lips as she saw Kaiser's face come close, eyes closed and lips wanting for hers. Kiss? In his dreams! She immediately reached for the metal bucket to her right and shoved it over his head before mercilessly banging it over with a staff.

"You stupid sh*t!" Who do you think I am, huh? Who said I'm going to marry you, pervert?!" she stormed angrily, giving Kaiser's bucketed head a few more aggressive whacks.

When she was finally done, Kaiser removed the bucket over his head and fell to the ground, dizzy and dazed, ears ringing, feeling betrayed after what Colleen did to him. It wasn't long before he began to question his life, lying there dejectedly like a limp.

Colleen frowned and poked him with the tip of her staff. "Hey…hey," she said. "Hey, are you alive?"

Kaiser laid there without response, but the tears falling down his firmly shut eyes were enough to let Colleen know.

"Oh, no, no, no…don't cry!" Colleen didn't think twice as she approached Kaiser on the bathroom floor, withdrawing her weapon as she knelt down beside him. "Hey! I was just messing around. Don't cry. You're a big boy already, and big boys don't cry."

But that only made him cry harder.

"Shush! Don't cry now!" Colleen gently caressed his head, lifting it to the two melons of her chest as she tried to console him with a hug.

And with his face right smack in the middle of Colleen's healthy breasts, Kaiser couldn't help but give a smile of victory.
