Last kiss

As I opened the conversation after a few minutes of silence during our journey, I asked, "Why does Yumi so casual to you? Are you close?"

He glanced at me briefly and shrugged.

"She's our family lawyer. Actually, you're the only one who calls me by my last name often," he explained, surprising me.

"Huh? Why? Don't you like your last name?"

"It's not like that. I just hate it some time, that's all."

I winced. "So, I'm forbid to call you by your last name then?"

Rusty tilted his head to the side to look at me. "It's up to you, Celeste. Anything goes."

I nodded and smiled. "Alright then."

Somehow, I'm starting to like the budding friendship between us. He's a good coworker and friend.

One might need to chase him, given his strong appeal and handsome looks.

"Where are we going again?" he asked, nudging me as I seemed lost in thought.

"Mother Theresa Hospital."
