Her date was, in the end, ruined, but still, she was somehow relieved to see that somehow she would accept maria into the family, or well, her mind was already running fast.

"Maria, Do you need a ride?" asked Stephan.

But even before she answered, Kilee said faster, "I'll take her home," so her brother had nothing more to say.

"I have to do groceries," said Maria, looking at Kilee, who replied, "Not a problem; I do also have some things to buy." Hearing that, Maria almost laughed, but she was good at maintaining her calm. "All right then," continued her.

Stephan was surprised by how his sister had changed over time; she surprised him repeatedly.

He got up shortly after, and the two looked up at him. " I will see you both tomorrow," he said. "Have a good day, Mr. Stephan," said Maria.

"Have a good day both you of," continued him. "You too, director," said Kilee; she was attentive to not calling him differently so he would have nothing to suspect.

As soon as he left, Kilee took a heavy sigh. She did not dislike him, but he was in her way. He wasted her plan or almost reminded her of the kiss between her and Maria, and it worked as a buster for her umor.

"Are we going for groceries?" asked Maria, making Kilee smile. "Of course!" It took almost nothing to get her all excited again.

They were reaching the counter to pay for their lunch when the waitress approached them. "Your payment went well, miss! This is your takeaway! " she said, leaving Maria speechless. She did not order it.

"Isn't there a mistake? I did not order it," she said, looking toward Kilee. 

"Yes, the man with you who left earlier paid and ordered this for you!" She handed over the package to Maria. Have a good day! See you next time," she said again. "Yes, thank you," Maria replied while getting away with Kilee.

She was suspicious now. Did his brother fall for Maria? It can't be! That would be a total mess, a disgrace! Maria was her crush! Her mind ran wild as she did not even notice they had arrived in front of the car.

"Kilee, you okay?" asked Maria, seeing her space out.

"Ah, yeah, it's all good... that," she said, indicating the cake box. We will eat it later," Maria answered back, surprising her. Now, let's go for groceries," she urged her to enter the car.

Later that afternoon, they finally returned home; both were exhausted, yet she burned from the desire to kiss Maria again; she suffocated it, stroking her face with her hands while sitting on the sofa.

Maria noticed Kilee's distress, as she somehow loved it. She put the groceries in the freezer while leaving the other stuff out for later. Her inner voice won, and she followed what it said.

She was now standing in front of Kilee, who looked at her confused. She crouched and put her head on Kilee's lap, who tenderly caressed her hair.

"Are you fine?" asked her, but Maria rubbed her face against her knees.

"Maria, look at me," she said, raising her head and taking her chin. At that moment, the two were looking at each other in the eyes. Kilee was trying her best to stay calm and maintain control before eating her, yet things went out of control in the blink of an eye.

Maria took the lead and set Kilee back on the sofa, putting her hand on her things while getting near her. Kilee was speechless yet digging her nails into the sofa cushions. She bit her lip, "Maria... this... " trying to keep her composure. But Maria put her fingers on her lips, interrupting her.

At that point, it was clear that Kilee no longer cared. She took her hand from her mouth, but before that, she kissed it and bit it. Maria let out a faint moan, turning on Kilee and disrupting all her efforts to keep cool.

She put the other hand on Maria's neck and kissed her so intensely that an electric shock went down her spine, and her feet became weak.

Kilee noticed it, and that turned her on even more. That reaction meant she was as involved as she was. She put up all her strength and turned down Maria, who was now lying on the sofa with Kilee on top, kissing her passionately.

Her hands ran wild on Maria's bare skin, and every touch set her skin on fire. Maria put her hands on Kilee's back, slowly running her fingers through her hair, making Kilee moan silently. Even if Kilee wanted to go further, she did nothing to put her in a difficult situation, as she set some boundaries to prevent the problem from escalating.
