Stuck in you

Mendes' eyes suddenly lit up. He put the iPad aside, leaned forward towards Rachel's ear and whispered, "Rachel, I want to tell you something. I saw Lucas kiss a girl."

The smile on Rachel's face suddenly faded away. She was stunned with what she heard and then turned to Mendes. "Did you see who it was that he kissed?"

"A beautiful girl."

Mendes rolled his fingers as he tried to describe the girl with his hands. "She has such big lovely eyes! She is fair-skinned, and they kissed each other on the corridor! And then she hugged him tightly!"

Rachel's face became a little blushed, and she quickly reached out and covered his lips. "Okay, I understand now. But, you can't tell anyone else about this, okay?"

"Why?" Mendes asked in an almost muffled voice since she had her hand on his lips.

Rachel didn't know how to explain it to a kid, but she felt annoyed by Lucas' thoughtlessness. 'How could he do it in front of a kid?' she thought.

"If someone else finds out, they will laugh at Lucas. It needs to be kept a secret. So, don't tell anyone else, understand?"

Mendes nodded. "It's our secret?"

"Yes, you're right."

"Okay!" He suddenly clenched his fist and looked excited all of a sudden. "Our secret! And no one else can be told."

The excitement in Mendes' face made Rachel feel a little awkward.

The boy was so excited as if he had found something extremely valuable.

'So, Lucas has a girlfriend?' Rachel wondered to herself.

Mendes suddenly leaned to her as she thought about it some more. "Will you kiss someone too?"

Rachel felt a rush of blood to her ears and cheeks when she heard Mendes' question. "You little brat," she snapped.

But Mendes merely winked at her innocently. His face looked as if he was offering to give her some of his candies.

The idea lingered long in Rachel's mind and it made her speechless for a long time. How could a boy ask such a question at his age?

The mix of innocence and seriousness in the boy's expression made Rachel feel embarrassed. She suddenly raised her hand to cover her face when an image suddenly crossed her mind. An image that she knew she should not imagine.

She couldn't understand why the image of Jack suddenly filled her mind. She cleared her throat to help ease her embarrassment. She felt lucky that a child could not yet identify the expression of embarrassment that was obvious on her face.
