“Keisuke-chan~” Kota’s voice appeared from Keisuke’s phone. “Are you nervous?”
Keisuke frowned. “Of course I’m nervous! What if-”
Kota chuckled. “Don’t fret about it. Do you remember the time when we first met?”
Keisuke giggled and nodded. “How could I forget? It was one of the not-so-sweet encounters of my life.” She looked at the stick of lip-gloss in her hand as the flashback replayed in her mind.
-----
“Ah... this is so cute!” Keisuke picked up a stick of lip-gloss from the display counter. The lip-gloss cover had a shiny metallic silver case and the lipstick’s colour was glossy pink, a colour suitable for her sweet lips.
“Miss, may I help you?” A saleslady went up to her. Seeing the lip-gloss in her hands, the saleslady smiled. “This is the latest hot selling lip-gloss we have. So far, we only have one stick left so if you want it, I suggest you to-”
“I’ll take it!” Keisuke squealed as she handed the stick back to the saleslady. But before the saleslady could take it from Keisuke, another hand swopped past and grabbed the lip-gloss right out of her hand.
“Sorry miss,” the guy apologised to the salesgirl, “but please wrap this up for me immediately.”
Keisuke gasped in horror before regaining her composure. “Excuse me,” Keisuke scoffed as she snatched the lip-gloss from him. “But I believe I took this lip-gloss first.”
The guy shot her an annoyed look. “I’m sorry miss, but I think you do not understand the importance of this stick of lip-gloss. This stick here, can affect the fate of this entire department store!”
Keisuke smirked. “So you are telling me that if you don’t use a FEMALE’S lip-gloss on those pulpy lips of yours, this mall is going to close down?” She said mockingly.
The guy just grabbed the lip-gloss back from Keisuke and dashed away before Keisuke could get it back.

“Keisuke! Where on earth did you go? You know that we were supposed to attend an important meeting AND NOW WE ARE LATE!” Keisuke’s mother chided her daughter as soon as the young lady stepped into the house.
“MUM! Forget about the meeting! A guy just bought a lip-gloss that your daughter had been eyeing on ever since I saw it minutes ago!” Keisuke grumbled.
Keisuke’s mother clicked her tongue. “Just come to this meeting and you can have all the lip-gloss you want.” She threw her daughter a dress. “We are meeting some high status people so hurry up and get dressed.”
-----
Later that day, Keisuke’s mother was preparing her daughter to be the most stunning lady anyone had ever seen.
“Stop it mum!” Keisuke hissed under her breath when her mother brushed her dress for the umpteenth time ever since the two ladies entered a huge and empty conference hall.
Her mother frowned. “Keisuke, we will be meeting a very important person. Please be on your best behaviour so as to not embarrass your father and I.”
Keisuke nodded. Her family owns a small company but they weren’t very well-off. It was because her father worked with bosses from other big companies, she wasn’t a total stranger when it comes to high-class events since she would always accompany her father for guests-only parties.
“Later, Yabu-san and his family will be arriving with your father. Yabu-san is your father’s high school friend.” Keisuke’s mother explained.
“But when did dad have the money to book for this-”
“Yabu-san booked this.”
Keisuke’s mother smiled. In the conference hall, a long meeting table was placed in the middle of the room and two long buffet tables, each covered with a piece of white tablecloth, was placed at the sides of the hall. “Apparently, he happened to be a close friend of your father’s. So we have decided to marry you into their family!” Her mother proclaimed the ‘good news’.
“Wait WHAT?!” Keisuke screamed. “But you can’t just marry me off to some random guy just because he is dad’s close friend! I have my life too!”
“What a feisty lady… Just the type for my boy.”
Keisuke jerked around as soon as she heard an unfamiliar voice behind her.
“Dad…”
Keisuke was whispering her father’s name, but truthfully, her gaze was on the man beside her father. He was around her father’s age, but slightly taller, and was wearing a suit. Beside him was a woman who looked slightly younger than the man himself. She was dressed in a sleeveless black party dress which brings out her elegance.
“Dear,” the lady hooked the man’s arm. “I think Mirai-san would be a perfect bride for our boy.” She smiled at Keisuke satisfactorily. “With someone like her, Kota might finally be able to settle down.”
“Talking about Kota,” Mr. Yabu looked around the hall. “Where is that boy?”
“Dear, Kota said-”
“Why…” Mr. Yabu’s voice became gruffer, “how dare that brat-”
“Relax dear.” Mrs. Yabu soothed her husband. “Kota said that he wanted to grab a greeting gift for Mirai-san.” She smiled to Keisuke and her mother, hoping that they would understand.
Just when Mrs. Yabu finished her sentence, the door burst open again.
“I’m sorry I’m late.”
“AH!” Keisuke gasped, pointing at the person who was at the door, giving a perfect 90° bow. “It’s you…” her sentence trailed off.
The guy looked up and his eyes widened.
“AH!!!” He strode over to across the room and stood in front of Keisuke. “Aren’t you the girl who snatched this-” he lifted up the lip-gloss, “-from me?”
“Kota,” Mrs. Yabu unhooked her husband’s arm and went to her son. “Do you happen to know Mirai-san?” His mother asked sweetly.
Kota nodded as he went over and stood next to Keisuke while wrapping right arm around her shoulders.
“It’s fate that brought us together, AGAIN.” Kota chuckled. “Mum, you wouldn’t mind if I bring Keisuke-chan out for a walk would you?”
Mrs. Yabu shook her head. “Take care of Mirai-san! She is a wonderful lady.”
Kota nodded again before leaving the room with his fiancée.
-----
“Did you apply it?” Kota asked.
Keisuke grinned to herself. “Why don’t you wait and see? I’ve got to go. The ceremony is starting.” She blew a kiss into the speaker before cutting the line.
-----
“Now you may kiss the bride!” The priest announced the moment that Kota had been waiting for.
Lifting the wedding veil, Kota came face to face with the most gorgeous lady he had ever seen in his entire life, and thankfully, she is going to be his and only his.
Leaning in, Kota pressed his lips against hers before releasing it after the guests cheered.
“You DID use that lip-gloss after all.” He chuckled softly. “I can remember that cherry-flavoured fragrance anywhere.”
The newly wedded couple chuckled in unison as their parents and relative came up to offer them their heartfelt congratulations.
