JUST A KISS : CHAPTER 171 – THE END

Nina’s POV

As I gazed at the sky, a profound sense of sadness enveloped me while I watched the stars. Their presence evokes memories of my parents, particularly my mother.

During her lifetime, she found great joy in observing the stars, believing that upon passing, a person’s spirit transforms into a star. She would often sing to them, convinced that her own mother was watching over her.

“I hope you have indeed become one of those stars, Mother,” I whispered, my voice trembling as tears streamed down my face.

“Your little Nina is managing well. I have formed wonderful friendships, and they are taking excellent care of me… Look, I have even gained some weight,” I remarked with a faint chuckle.

“Is Father nearby? Please convey to him that his little mushroom is doing alright,” I added with a bittersweet smile.

“I’m in a big house now, wearing nice clothes and enjoying tasty food…

I just wish you guys were here with me right now. I really miss your hugs, Mom and Dad, and I miss your teasing, especially when you call me ‘mushroom’,” I said softly as I pulled out my phone.

I opened my playlist and hit play on ‘How Do I Say Goodbye’ by Dean Lewis. Whenever I feel their absence, this song helps me express it, and I sing along loudly.

“So how do I say goodbye

To someone who’s been with me my whole life?

You gave me my name and the colour of your eyes

I see your face when I look at mine

So how do I, how do I, how do I say goodbye?”

“You have a beautiful voice,” I heard, and I turned around to find Keith grinning at me.

“Wow, you scared me! How long have you been standing there?” I said, putting my hand on my chest.

“Long enough to enjoy your singing! I didn’t mean to startle you… I just really loved listening to you,” he replied, making me smile.

“So… why are you still up?” he asked while stepping closer to me.

“Well… I’ve just got a lot on my mind, and I really just want to keep looking at the stars,” I replied, and he nodded, standing nearby.

“Mind sharing what’s on your mind? I couldn’t sleep, and trust me, I’m a great listener,” he said with a wink that made me laugh.

“What? You think I’m joking?” he asked, and I quickly shook my head.

“Nope, just laughing,” I said with a sigh.

“I was just thinking about my late parents,” I admitted, biting my lip.

“Oh, I’m really sorry. What happened to them?” he asked, raising an eyebrow, and I took a deep breath.

“Don’t be. That jerk, Giveon, had them killed. I’m sure she’s up there now,” I said, pointing at the stars.

“The stars?” he asked, and I nodded.

“Yeah, my mom always said that if she ever passed away, she’d love to come back as one of them,” I explained with another sigh, and he started staring at the sky too.

“Why are you still up?” I asked, and he chuckled right away.

“I don’t usually hit the sack that early. I was watching TV in my room, but I got bored and thought I’d come get some fresh air,” he replied, and I nodded.

“I’m starting to feel a bit sleepy,” I said, letting out a yawn.

“Really? I was actually enjoying our chat,” he said, making me smile a little and chew on my lip.

“You look so cute when you do that,” he added, which made me blush even more.

“You know… I think it’s the perfect time to say this… ever since I saw you that day, I’ve felt really drawn to you.

You’re beautiful, cute, and just amazing. I like you, and I’d love for you to be my girlfriend,” he said, causing me to bite my lip.

“It’s totally fine if you don’t feel the same way; I get that it’s only been a few weeks, but I know what I feel,” he continued.

“I like you too! Honestly, the moment I laid eyes on you, I felt something inside me, and I’d really like to be your girlfriend,” I said, and he immediately broke into a wide smile.

“Thank you very much for accepting me, I feel so happy…. You just made my day”He said and I smiled looking at how happy he is.

“I was planning to ask you out if you didn’t, and I’m glad you just did”I said and he burst into laughter.

“You didn’t just say that”He said with a grin.

“I meant it, I’m glad you did”I said .

“Can……. Can I kiss you??”He asked and I nodded shyly. And the next thing I felt was his extra soft pink lips on mine.
