53 WARM FACES

"You two should have seen Pierre's face when the Stiff sneezed on him. It was hilarious. It was epic! Their faces were this close." Frankie used his hands to demonstrate how close Ray's and Lily's faces were. Then, he continued, "He was about to kiss her when she sneezed on his face! Achoo— She sneezed like a cat, by the way."

Watching and listening to Frankie share this unfortunate information with Alas and Dan, Ray could only shake his head. His friend simply could not keep his big mouth shut.

Damn! Ray really fucked up his kiss with Lily. Truth be told, the second kiss was a failure. The first one—his ultimate victory! He was comforted by the fact that his first kiss with Lily was only known to them. No one could spoil that—not even Frankie who only saw the second one.

"Shut up, Frankie. It's funny. Can someone shut him up? Like forcefully shut him up?" Ray was looking at Alas, expectantly.
