Ernest pursed his lips, visibly nervous. "Can I... can I kiss you?" Sherilyn blinked, surprised, her grip tightening though she still smiled. "Of course, you can." "Alright." Ernest stepped closer, lifting his hands to cradle her cheeks gently. Then, he leaned down. Suddenly, Sherilyn's eyes closed, a slight frown on her forehead.

"Sherilyn!" he snapped, "Have you lost your mind? Are there no men left in the world that you need to settle for this this thing!

He scrubbed so hard it felt like he was trying to scrub her skin off! "Ah..."
