Chapter 101 - 101: Lunch Out?

(Michelle POV)

While waiting for the classroom to be completely emptied, I suddenly realized how stupid I sounded and looked. Who waits for more than an hour standing outside a classroom only to search for a piece of ballpen? Does Anthony think that way? 

Anyway, we walked inside the classroom and Anthony went straight to the whiteboard and looked at the place where the erasers were placed. Why was he searching over there? 

"What does your pen look like?" he asked. 

"Ah… it has a pink tube and heart designs… sorry to trouble you, it's just that it has some sentimental value to me." I answered and explained trying to sound sincere.

"It's no trouble." He answered. Then, not seeing the pen by the board, he looked at the teacher's table and opened its drawer. He pulled out several ballpens from inside seriously looked at them as if wanting to transform one to be the ballpen I was looking for. 

I kinda felt a bit guilty seeing him make the effort when I could just pick my ballpen up as I knew that it's just by the wall, but I want Anthony to be the one to find it. 

I recalled that I still have the shopping bag inside my car with the stuff I bought for him, and with him finding my pen, I would have the excuse to give them to him! Not only that, I could even use this as an excuse to treat him to lunch today! Haha! I'm such a genius. 

Not wanting him to think that he's making the effort while I'm not doing anything, I went to the other side of the room to search at that side. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Anthony walk to the other side and search from there. Just as expected, he saw my pen and picked it up.

"Is it this one?" Anthony asked with a smile.

Ah. Success! I walked towards him and him to me, when we were standing in front of each other, he handed the ballpen to me. 

I accepted it gratefully and looked at it as if it was some treasure. Well, it was indeed a treasure. My ticket to a lunch date and giving him the gifts and… wait, I can even add one more! I looked at him who was still smiling, and I couldn't stop myself. I hugged his waist and said, "Thank you! Thank you!" Ah!!!! I did not hide my joy. This is so blissful!

(Third POV)

Anthony was surprised when Michelle suddenly moved to hug him. Her floral scent assailed him, and her soft body was pressed to him. He felt awkward as he realized that his body was reacting. She said thank you to him twice and the first thing that entered his mind as response was to carry her to the teacher's table and lift her skirt. Well, they were in an empty classroom despite it being noon, so don't blame his imagination.

Thankfully, before he could prolong his thoughts about that, Michelle pulled away from him. "Sorry, I was overwhelmed by my emotions…" she said as she blushed.

Anthony became extra aware of how tight his pants became. He adjusted his bag to cover his tent. Thankfully, he used a sling duffel bag today. Then, he said, "It's ok. Also, you're welcome. So… do you have anything else to look for?"

Michelle shook her head. Then, a bit shyly, she said, "No… it's just this one. Uh… so will you be having lunch now? If you don't dislike it, I want to treat you to lunch as thank you…" Though she had it all planned out, saying the words needed a lot of courage. 

Anthony chuckled seeing how shy she was. "No need to treat me."

Michelle was reminded of Loraine who must have invited him for lunch earlier. Was he turning her down because he's heading there now? Ouch! "Oh… then…" she can't even finish the words. 

Anthony indeed agreed to meet with his blockmates to have lunch out after he helped Michelle. Seeing her expression plus knowing that she's alone, he felt that he should invite her. So he asked, "What time is your next class?"

"It's PE at 3pm… how about you?"

"Same. Say Michelle, me and my blockmates agreed to have lunch at Choi palace outside the campus. If you don't have plans during your 3-hour break, would you like to join us?"

Michelle bit her lip as if contemplating but really, she's just trying hard not to show just how pleased she was with the invite. Ah! Is there anything more perfect than this!? Honestly, she should say 'I don't want to impose' and reject it at least once and let him persuade her. It's not a trick but proper etiquette. However, she was already given this golden opportunity. Why would she reject!? She was not daft. Besides, he was going to introduce her to his blockmates! Hehehe… 

"If your blockmates don't mind… then it's fine with me." Michelle answered with a lovely smile. 

Anthony smiled and nodded his head. Then he brought out his cellphone and made a call. Michelle listened as he just told his blockmate that he's bringing a friend with him. 

She did not mind that he just said friend. Honestly, they haven't levelled up yet, but surely they will later! Haha!

"My car is parked in area 2, let's go?" Anthony said.

Michelle nodded her head.

The two walked to the parking area in silence but inside Michelle's head she was already going bonkers. All she could think of was that Anthony invited her, they will share a ride together, and… it's the first time they will be in an enclosed quarter with just the two of them after that night!

Anthony led them to his car and opened the door passenger seat in front for Michelle. As Michelle sat inside, she looked at Anthony who was walking to the driver's side. It was the second time she was riding in his car and… aish! Should she take this opportunity to make some advance movements so that it won't be too awkward on Saturday? 

Wait. Come to think of it, it was Anthony's idea that led them to this situation. Did he deliberately do this to get her alone without audience? Does that mean… then she recalled that when she hugged him, she felt his tent poke her. Her eyes widened. Did he want something to happen between them!?

Anthony opened the back seat first and placed his bag inside, then he opened the driver's seat door and entered the car. He opened the engine, the aircon, then the radio. All the while he was completely oblivious to what was running inside Michelle's head.

Michelle looked at Anthony who in her imagination was moving awkwardly. She waited for him to do something or say something to her.

Anthony was about to fasten his seatbelt when he noticed that Michelle hasn't fastened hers just yet. He was about to remind her, but felt it awkward to say, so he moved towards her to help her with it.

Michelle who already thought that Anthony has plans with her felt her hormones go wild. They were alone in an enclosed space, and he was already moving towards her maybe to kiss her!? What else was he planning to do!? So, as he used his hand to pull at the seatbelt beside her, Michelle misinterpreted what he wanted to do and not being able to wait, she held his face with both her hands and kissed him.

Anthony's eyes widened in surprise. Should he pull away? Sorry, Anthony is also a hormonal teenager, so, let's be real. He has been dreaming of Michelle since that night and all his common sense and reason flew out of the window, well not really, they all went to his other head. So, what did he do? He grabbed the back of her neck to kiss her deeper.

Michelle has been dreaming of this scenario all day and night after what happened between them. Remembering his sculpted hardness of a body as she hugged him earlier, her hands slipped under his shirt as her fingers and palms touched his smooth skin. 

Anthony felt her hands tracing his bare skin and he groaned. Wanting to feel her body too, he grasped one of her breasts and squeezed. It elicited a moan from her. With her mouth slightly opened, his tongue entered her wet cavern and explored.

It was high noon, the parking area was full, but the car was facing the wall. Drivers were at the waiting shed and, well, not that the two tried to consider the facts. 

Anthony felt that their position with the console between them was not comfortable, so he leaned back without letting go of Michelle, his left hand pulled on the lever on the side to drag his seat as far as it can go backwards.

Michelle took the hint and climbed over him.
