Chapter 10: Chapter 10

“Sunscreen …check, sunglasses…check…camera…check…bag….check,” said Marissa packing up her and Sam’s belongings as they prepared to head for the beach.

“Girl, are you going to take things forward with Shane or what?” asked Sam.

“I’m looking to take things as much forward as you are with Kevin!” remarked Marissa with a chuckle.

“Oh…that!” said Sam blushing as she prepared to leave with Marissa for the beach.

As mid-afternoon approached that day, Shane and Kevin met each other on the way just as they had nearly reached the beach. Both of them were wearing jean shorts, and Shane had on him a light green T-shirt while Kevin had on him a light blue T-shirt.

“I’m nervous about today…I think today I’m going to ask Marissa to be my girlfriend finally and we start seeing each other more!” said Shane nervously in a low voice.

“Don’t be! Things are so chill between Sam and me that I’m not nervous about it at all!” replied Kevin.

He continued, “Just keep calm, and hopefully, everything will work out!”

“I sure hope so!” replied Shane, optimistic as they entered the beach, and the soft brown sand touched their flip flops.

“Can you see the girls anywhere!” inquired Shane looking to his right and left.

“Not yet…there they are!” said Shane pointing to his right amidst the crowd of people that stood in front of their eyes.

Shane looked on and saw Marissa dressed up in black shorts and a white tank top with her hair down assembled with a butterfly pendant on her neck carrying a brown leather bag while Sam had on blue jean shorts and had on a black tank top also with her hair down.

“Marissa looks beautiful!” said Shane, who seemed to be mesmerized by her captivating beauty.

“Well, you can’t just stare at her forever! Get a move on and let’s meet them!” said Kevin slapping Shane on the back and leading the way.

“Hey, guys!” waved Marissa as she ran forward with Sam to greet those two.

“Hey! Nice to see you too!” said Shane with a nervous smile. The four exchanged greetings with each other.

“Well, what shall we do first?” asked Marissa.

How about we take a walk on the beach and just talk and enjoy the weather…you know it could be rainy in a few days, maybe even tomorrow!” suggested Sam.

“That sounds great! Don’t you think so, Shane?” responded Kevin to Sam’s suggestion.

“That sounds wonderful!” said Shane with a nervous smile.

“Great! Then let’s get started so that we can have a move on!” said Marissa as the four of them began spending their day together.

They talked to each other and walked for a while across the beach. They spoke about Aberdeen High, about college applications, grades, what it was like to be in the football team and what it was like to be in the cheerleading team. Till they came across some rock pools; they went and explored them.

“Let’s take some pictures! I brought my camera with me in my bag! It’ll be a great way of preserving memories of our outing today!” suggested Marissa taking out her camera from her bag.

“Sure!” agreed Shane.

“Fine by me!” agreed Kevin.

“Cool then! Let’s first take some pictures from my camera, then we’ll do some other activities!” suggested Marissa as the group started getting their pictures taken together.

Sam took multiple with Kevin, some with the sea in the background and some with the rock pools in the background. Marissa took several with Shane with numerous in the seawater as the background, whereas the others were with the rock pools in the background scenery. And they several photos of their whole group with every sort of background scenery possible for them.

“These are neat! And they’ll act as wonderful memorabilia of today’s outing! Now let’s go explore those rock pools up ahead!” said Marissa, who was content with her photos as she put her camera back in her bag and went exploring with her friends towards the rock pools up ahead.

“Check out this crab!” said Marissa holding a hermit crab.

“That’s a hermit crab!” announced Sam.

“It’s got a pretty big shell, and it moves pretty fast as well!” observed Kevin.

“Put it down, Marissa, before it bites!” cautioned Shane.

“You worry too much! Just look at how cute it is! I’ll put it back on the surface of these rock pools so it can be reunited with its family!” said Marissa putting it back down.

“Hey, I know….let’s build a sandcastle!” suggested Marissa.

“Okay!” agreed Sam eagerly.

Shane and Kevin looked at each other with a grin, for they knew what would happen as soon as the girls were done with building their sandcastle.

They sat down on the sand and built a sandcastle. The girls built it with a lot of effort and the boys very eagerly destroyed it after it was built.

“Shaaannneee!” wailed Marissa in annoyance. “Keeevvviiinn!” moaned Sam in annoyance.

The boys just laughed. After a few moments, Marissa and Sam also joined them.

After a few moments, they got up and soaked themselves wet in the seawater. “This is so much fun!” said Marissa laughing, having a good time as Shane threw seawater at her, and she consequently returned the favor. Sam and Kevin followed a similar practice.

All four teenagers were practically soaked in seawater, but they enjoyed themselves while they were.

Time was passing by fast, and so it was finally time for sunset at the beach.

The four of them seated themselves onto the rock pools and enjoyed the beautiful weather they were getting to experience.

“Ah, the weather’s great! And so is the sunset out here at the beach. Look at the sun and how it’s going down. We’re going to have a beautiful sunset!” said Marissa in admiration of her surroundings.

The sunset was upon them as they had enjoyed themselves in mid-afternoon, and now they were to experience a beautiful sunset at the beach.

“It’s so peaceful out here, and so beautiful! I think my favorite place to see a sunset is at the beach!” agreed Sam, who was also quite enjoying herself.

“It is nice out here, and with the calm, cool breeze, it’s exactly the kind of break we need from having all our football practice in our schedule. Man, we needed this!” agreed Shane.

Marissa asked, “Shane, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you see either a beautiful sunset or sunrise?”

Shane honestly replied, “When I look at a beautiful sunset or sunrise, I think of either a brand new beginning to come in some way or the start of an all-new beautiful adventure!”

Marissa replied, “That’s awesome! I feel the same way, too, when I look at a beautiful sunset or sunrise!”

Just then, Marissa spotted an ice cream shop that sold ice cream cones in a small concrete hut.

She suggested, “I don’t know about you guys, but I could surely go for some nice cold ice cream! Who’s with me?”

“Count me in, girl! I’m up for some ice cream!” said Sam, who agreed to have ice cream like her friend.

Shane and Kevin looked at each other, embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

“What’s wrong?” asked Marissa after seeing their facial expressions.

With an embarrassed smile, Shane replied, “Well…you see..thing is…um ..uh”

“Go on!” said Marissa wondering why Shane was stuttering so much.

Finally, Shane let it out “Well….thing is …we didn’t bring any money with us! So we can’t join you for ice cream!”

Marissa let out a small laugh and generously said, “No problem, guys! I’ve got this! It’s nothing to be embarrassed, you two! Ice cream on me for everyone!”

“No, we couldn’t!” said Shane hesitating.

“Yeah, …we couldn’t possibly!” agreed Kevin hesitating.

‘

“It’s no big deal, you two! Now, which flavors do you guys want? I’m having mint chocolate chip. And you Shane?” asked Marissa taking out some money from her brown leather bag.

With an embarrassed smile, Shane said: “I think I’ll have the same!”

“I’ll have a strawberry! What about you, Kevin?” asked Sam.

“I think I’ll have the same, too!” answered Kevin, too, with an embarrassed smile.

Suddenly Marissa had an idea.

“Hey Sam, why don’t you and Kevin go get us the ice creams, Shane, and I will wait back here for you!” suggested Marissa as she handed over the money to Sam.

“I think that’ll be a great idea! Come on, Kevin!” said Sam pulling Kevin’s hand quickly, taking him to the ice cream shop.

The three of them thanked Marissa for their ice creams.

As soon as they were gone, Marissa and Shane were all alone on the rock pools with the beautiful sunset in front of them.

Suddenly Marissa got up.

“What is it?” asked Shane, who also got up with Marissa.

“There’s something I have to tell you, which is why I was so eager to send those two for ice cream!” confessed Marissa.

“There’s something I had to tell you too!” confessed Shane.

Marissa stopped for a second, looked at the sunset behind them, and said, “Fine, you go first…then I’ll go!”

Shane took a gulp, then a deep breath, and then finally started, “Well, Marissa, the thing is…I really, really like you, and I want us to be more than just friends! It’s like when I’m with you, the world stops, and I’m in a beautiful trance! When I look at you, I see rainbows and butterflies in my eyes. I’m looking to give it my all so that I can win that scholarship to Manchester University and spend four years there together with you! I want to be with you that much! I’m not sure if you will say yes, but I was wondering if we could be boyfriend-girlfriend for the time being, at least since my winning that scholarship will be highly dependent on my performances in the final next week!”

He concluded, “Now you say what you were gonna say!”

But to Shane’s astonishment, Marissa didn’t say anything. Instead, she smiled sweetly and happily as if she had just achieved something huge.

She put her arms on his shoulders and then behind his neck and went forward and kissed him on the lips with the beautiful sunset behind them, making for a picturesque scene.

Shane, at that point, didn’t know where he was or what was going on! He was seeing fireworks at that time.

They continued kissing for a good two minutes, not letting go of each other. Finally, when Marissa let go of him, Shane asked joyfully, “So is that a yes?”

“Yes…yes…yes! That’s the same thing I wanted to talk to you about! I’m glad we have the same feelings for each other! And this beautiful sunset has made for the perfect scenario for my first ever kiss!” exclaimed Marissa feeling giddy with joy.

“It was my first kiss too, and I’m glad it was with you! I wouldn’t have wanted it with anyone else!” exclaimed Shane, who was over the moon for that time being.

“Great! And tonight I’m going to dance with you in the beautiful black dress that I’ll wear tonight!” announced Marissa.

“And I’m going to enjoy dancing with you in my black suit and black tie!” announced Shane.

“Looking forward to it!” said Marissa. She continued, “By the way, where are Kevin and Sam? They should be here with our ice creams. Sam does have a crush on Kevin, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re probably making out behind the concrete ice cream stand! I know my friend….she’s capable of doing such things!”

“No way!” said Shane as he and Marissa chuckled as he had his arm around her shoulder as they walked towards the ice cream shop to see where Kevin and Sam were.

As they came near, they saw that Kevin and Sam were not at the front of the shop where people would buy ice cream.

“Let’s check the rear end of the shop, they’re probably kissing each other there!” suggested Marissa that they check the rear end of the shop first.

‘Let’s!” agreed Shane letting Marissa lead the way.

When they had come to the rear end of the shop, to their delight, they saw Sam grabbing tightly to Kevin’s shoulders and kissing Kevin tightly on the lips just like Marissa had predicted.

“Ahem ahem!” Marissa said, breaking up the scene between them.

“Oh my…” said Sam, who felt very embarrassed just like Kevin was feeling at the very same time.

“Where’s our ice cream?” asked Marissa with a sheepish smile showing all her teeth.

Shane laughed hysterically at the scene he had just caught Kevin in.

“Oh, right, the ice cream…well, something’s just happened…so we couldn’t get your ice cream, but we’ll get it now! Come on, Kevin, we need to get everyone’s ice cream!” answered Sam blushing and feeling embarrassed, grabbing Shane’s arm as they dashed to get everyone’s ice cream, which Marissa had paid for.

Shane and Marissa looked at each other and laughed harder even further than before after witnessing this humorous scenario.

“Well, that was fun!” laughed Shane off.

“It was indeed!” said Marissa with a giggle.

Soon when everyone was eating their ice cream, the two newly formed relationships were explained.

“So you guys are girlfriend and boyfriend just like us? And you guys just had your first kiss as well, just like we did right now?” asked Kevin licking his strawberry ice cream.

“Yup, exactly!” answered Shane having a bite of his mint chocolate chip ice cream.

“Then why’d you have to ruin the moment for us?” asked Sam annoyed

“Because it was too much fun to even think of passing up, and besides, we wanted to eat our ice creams!” answered Marissa sheepishly.

“Hmpf!” grunted Sam, annoyed.

“Well, we better eat our ice creams quick because it’s slowly getting dark, and we have to prepare and dress for the Gala this evening!” advised Kevin reminding everyone about the Press Conference Gala.

‘He’s right, it is getting late, and we’d better head home quick if want to dress up and make it on time for the event!” suggested Shane.

“Right!” said Marissa in agreement.

Soon the four teenagers after finishing their ice creams bid farewell for the time being and headed for home as it was getting dark.

“Bye, walk safe and can’t wait to see you tonight!” said Sam waving the boys goodbye.

“Bye, have a safe walk!” replied Kevin waving.

“Oh and Shane…here’s a little something before we meet up tonight!” said Marissa blowing a kiss Shane’s way.

“Bye, Marissa! Can’t wait to meet you too tonight!” replied Shane smiling sweetly at her.

Sam and Kevin smiled at their friends while shaking their heads.

As soon as they had departed from the beach, Kevin popped up the question he had kept bottled up within him all day.

“Uh, Shane…what exactly do you plan on wearing for tonight’s formal event?”

Shane replied with a smile, “A black suit with a white shirt underneath and a black tie to go with it! One of the odd jobs my mom does is work at a fancy restaurant, and one of the waiters had similar height and body structure as compared to me. My mom borrowed his uniform for tonight’s event! Thereby making it seem that I’m wearing formal clothes when in fact, I’m wearing a borrowed waiter’s uniform! Genius, huh?”

“That is genius of you!” remarked Kevin putting his hand on his pal’s shoulder.

“And what are you wearing tonight?” asked Shane.

“I’m wearing a black tuxedo and underneath it a white shirt and a black bow tie to go with it!”

“Great! Can’t wait to see you then!” said Shane with a smile as the two-headed off in opposite directions to go home and change for the evening’s Gala.

The Press Conference

As soon as Shane got dressed and ready to leave, his mum kissed him on his cheek, saying, “You look so handsome tonight in a suit and tie! Have a nice time, dear!”

“Thanks, mum! I will!” said Shane waving her goodbye.

As soon as he reached Chateau Exquisite, Shane first searched for Kevin until he finally found him.

“Dude, you look great in a suit and tie! And no one’s ever going to find out that it’s a waiter’s uniform!” greeted Kevin complimenting Shane on his appearance.

“Thanks! And you don’t look bad yourself! You look pretty awesome yourself!” greeted Shane returning the favor by complimenting Kevin on his appearance.

“Thanks!” said Kevin. “Now, let’s go find our teammates and coach and head down to the Main Hall! That’s where the press conference is going to take place. And you have to be seated next to coach since you’re going to be our captain for next Saturday night!” added Kevin explaining to them where they had to go and what were to be their next moves.

“Right!” said Shane as he and Kevin looked for directions in the grand place they were at and finally arrived and entered into the Main Hall.

Upon arriving, they saw many reporters and camerapeople who had to take pictures of the evening’s press conference. They met up with many of their friends and teammates who were seated waiting for the press conference to start. There were two rows, each containing a large number of seats. One side was for Aberdeen High, and their football players, and the other was for Blackrovers High and their players.

“Hey, how are you guys…looking sharp tonight!” said Benjamin Cross, greeting Shane and Kevin, also complimenting them in the process.

“We’re good, you look pretty decent yourself!” said Kevin with a wink.

Marcus saw those two and, with a frown, said to himself, “Hmpf losers!”

Just then, both coaches entered the Hall informal clothing as they got ready to kick-start the press conference.

It was such a positive change for players of both teams to look at their coaches in formal attire as compared to the usual formal attire donned by them.

Shane shook hands with his coach, then with the coach of Blackrovers High, and then finally with the captain of Blackrovers High Butch Buchanan.

Shane met them all very respectfully, including the opposition captain whom his side would face the coming week. But it was awful the fact that Butch didn’t have the same feelings of respect for Shane as he met him very coldly and even washed his hands with the hand sanitizer bottle he took out from his pocket after having shaken hands with him.

Shane tried not to let it get to him as he seated himself next to his coach on a long table with a white tablecloth spread across it. The table was set up on a stage with the photographers and reporters situated below the stage from where they would ask questions and take photographs. Both team players were seated in front of the stage, with Shane able to see everyone in the big Hall.

There were also water bottle for each member to drink from on the table.

Soon the press conference started, and the reporters started asking multiple questions from both team coaches and both captains. And the photographers started taking pictures of the evening’s press conference.

One of the main questions was that what do both teams have in mind of how they’re to win the match in a week’s time.

The coach of Aberdeen High replied, “Well, we’ve given our absolute focus and priority to maintaining a strong defense, and we’ll look to continue that along with possibly new attacking options to try and score goals in the final!”

The coach of blackrovers High replied ‘We’ve mainly focused on our strong attack thus far in the tournament as we believe that attack is the best form of defense and will be looking to continue with that philosophy!”

A question aimed at both captains was, “How do you plan to win with your teams in the final?”

Shane replied, “Well, my team and I have worked very hard up till now and will be looking forward to continuing that hard work and resilience for the final as well! Also, we plan on maintaining a strong defense and strong organizational skills to operate as a collective unit!”

Butch replied, “My team will be looking to cause their defense all kinds of problems with our strong strike force, and we believe an attack is the best defense, so we will be looking to capitalize on that philosophy!”

Another question was, “How do you plan to play with all the pressure that surrounds you and your team?”

Shane replied, “Well, my team and I have played in some very intensely pressurizing moments thus far in the tournament, and thankfully our hard work has paid off so far. We will be looking forward to continuing with our hard work and looking to enjoy playing football in the final match of the tournament!” He ended his sentence with a smile.

Butch, on the other hand, replied, “My team doesn’t give a toss about pressure! We’ll be looking to demolish their so-called strong defense and score all sorts of goals and look forward to putting the match beyond their reach in the first half only! That’s how much I believe in my team’s attack!”

The press conference ended with the reporters saying, “And we wish both your teams the very best of luck in your final next week! May it be an entertaining event for everyone!”

“Thank you!” said Shane thanking them once the press conference had ended.

“Hmpf!” pouted Butch.

The two coaches shook hands with each other and then with the team opposition team captains and wishing them both luck in the final before heading outside for the dance that had just started outside the Banquet Hall.

There was a slew of reporters, cameramen, and football players leaving that Hall for the Banquet Hall where the dance was to be taking place.

As soon as Shane and Kevin had entered, there Shane asked Kevin in the Hall full of teenagers consisting of Aberdeen High students along with students from Blackrovers High as to where Marissa and Sam were.

“I don’t know amigo. They should be here somewhere! Maybe they’re near the buffet table where the evening’s dinner is being served!” suggested Kevin that they look near the buffet table.

They headed over to the buffet table, and to their pleasant surprise saw Marissa and Sam were talking to each other standing near the punch bowl.

“Hey, girls over here!” waved Kevin to them.

“We’re on our way!” confirmed Marissa waving back to them.

Shane again started to see fireworks in his eyes as he saw just how beautiful Marissa looked in her black lace dress. Kevin felt similar emotions after seeing Sam in her red dress.

“Hey girls!” said Shane greeting them as he hugged Marissa first, and then Marissa kissed him on his cheek. Kevin hugged Sam, and Sam, like Marissa, kissed Kevin’s cheek afterward.

“Seems like a fun evening, huh?” asked Shane trying to get the evening’s festivities started.

“Sure does! Let’s dance!” suggested Marissa.

“I second that! Let’s dance!” said Kevin grabbing Sam’s hand.

The DJ for the evening had just started playing a slow song.

“This is so romantic! I’m glad we got over our shyness and finally started seeing each other officially!” said Marissa while dancing with Shane.

“You look so beautiful tonight! I could agree with everything you say and do tonight!” said Shane with a goofy grin.

Marissa giggled. “Tee hee!”

“I’m having a perfect time! I’m glad we started to see each other openly and make it official finally!” said Sam.

“Whatever you say, so Sam! You know I’m going to agree with whatever you say!” said Kevin feeling heavy emotions of love within him.

“Tee hee!” giggled Sam.

Meanwhile, in the corner of the humongous Hall, there lurked Butch Buchanan captain of the Blackrovers High football team. He was accompanied by his date for the evening Michelle Clarke who was also a member of the Blackrovers High cheerleading team. She was wearing a beautiful hot pink dress that made her look very beautiful. He was figuring out when to carry out his devious and selfish plot to separate Shane and Marissa for his selfish desire to win the tournament cup by finishing Shane off from within.

He looked at his date Michelle and said, “As soon as this dance is over with, I call and distract those two girls, taking them from their dates for some time, and you go over and seduce those two boys! And if they resist, then kiss Shane in front of his date and tell her how you madly fell in love with him and what a player he is! She’ll be so angry she’ll believe you!”

Michelle, after being given her recent instructions, had asked her boyfriend Butch, “You got it! But I thought I was only supposed to seduce Shane, not his friend as well over there!

“He’s got a funny accent! I wouldn’t mind him being separated from his date either!” explained Butch with a sick laugh and an evil grin.

“Buahhahahaha! You always knew how to break up two people and cause a rift between them!” remarked Michelle.

“Yes, I do! Now go out there and carry out my plan!” he said, pushing her forward to carry out his dastardly and evil plan.

As soon as the dance was over, the group headed near the punch bowl to get some punch to drink.

“Dancing sure makes me thirsty!” exclaimed Sam sipping her punch out of her glass.

“It sure is good quality punch as well!” remarked Marissa sipping the punch from her glass.

Suddenly Butch came to the four of them and quickly said: “Hey Shane, Kevin, if you don’t mind, can I borrow both of your dates for a few minutes; it’s urgent and something that needs to be addressed towards immediately!”

“Sure, I guess!” said Shane, who looked on, surprised.

“Just what is this urgent thing that needs to be adhered to?” asked Marissa, questioning.

“You’ll see! Now come with me quick!” he said, grabbing Marissa’s and Sam’s arms and taking them quickly with him to the other end of the Hall.

Just as they left, Kevin remarked, “That was pretty strange of him! First, he’s cold to you. Then he comes to you for help! Something’s fishy here!”

“You’re right! I don’t trust that guy!” agreed Shane.

Just then, Michelle Clarke approached Shane and Kevin running to them, saying desperately, “Please quickly come with me to the terrace on the other side of the Hall! There’s something significant and urgent I want from you!”

“Why do you need us to accompany you to the terrace?” questioned Kevin.

“There’s no time to explain! Just hurry up!” she answered, grabbing both of their arms and forcefully taking them with her to the balcony!”

“Something fishy is going on around here!” said Kevin addressing Shane.

“You know what! You’re probably right on this one!” agreed Shane, who was beginning to wonder whether all of this was a setup.

As they reached the terrace, Michelle introduced herself and how she was a Blackrovers High cheerleader and the background she had with her High school.

“All of this is fine, but why do you need us out here?” asked Shane.

Michelle replied, “Well, the reason is obvious!”

“It is?” asked Shane

“Yes, you see, I go for manly hunks like you two! And you’re girlfriends don’t appreciate you enough, which is why I’m offering to be your girlfriend, and I’m asking you to leave your current girlfriends as I will be better suited to your tastes and desires! And I’m going to make you feel loved and appreciated every single day of your lives! Now give me a smooch! Both of you!” said Michelle in an extremely flirtatious manner putting her arm behind Shane’s neck and shoulders as she tried kissing him.

She kissed him continuously on his cheeks and then his neck, and she even tried kissing him on his lips, but he kept on resisting saying, “Marissa is my girlfriend! I don’t want you! Help!”

If Kevin tried to interfere, she would try and do the same to him till he stopped in his tracks.

Meanwhile, Butch had taken Marissa and Sam to the far end of the Hall where he explained his dilemma.

‘What is this so-called dilemma of yours?” asked Marissa, getting frustrated by his mysterious attitude.

Butch explained “You see, I take great pride in the way that I dress and there’s a piece of loose cloth coming from my right sleeve and I was wondering if you ladies had any cutting material with which the loose cloth could be cut so that I am not made fun of my anyone!” he showed them his right-hand sleeve from where the loose cloth was coming out.

“Ugh! This is your so-called dilemma!” groaned Marissa, annoyed by his insistence to bring the two of them to the far corner of the Hall.

“I got this!” said Sam as she took out small paper scissors from her purse to cut the loose cloth.

She skillfully cut it, and there was no trace of it left as a result.

“There, now we can get back to our dates!” she exclaimed, putting the paper scissors back in her purse.

“Ah, yes! Now you can get back to your dates! And thank you for having just done that! You’re a real lifesaver!” said Butch in a really convincing manner.

They arrived at the punch bowl but saw that Shane and Kevin were not there.

“Strange! Where could they have gone?” remarked Marissa wondering where they went.

“Maybe you should try the terrace! They could be there!” suggested Butch.

“Why would our dates be at the terrace?” questioned Marissa, who was beginning to get sick of Butch’s company.

“Yeah! Why would our dates be at the terrace!” questioned Sam, who sided with Marissa and was beginning to wonder Butch’s level of reasoning and thinking.

“Okay, suit yourself! But I still think they are over there. In fact, I saw them run off with a pretty redhead in a pink dress to the terrace just a few moments ago! Oops!” said Butch hands to his mouth as if he accidentally blurted something out!”

“What!” fumed Marissa and Sam as they made their way to the terrace.

They entered the terrace when they saw that Michelle’s arms were around Shane’s neck, and she was giving him a forceful kiss on his lips!
