"Maxine looked up at the boy, clueless and afraid of what was to happen next." Ms. Jude paused looked at the two of us and laughed, "I can't go on."

I laughed along with her, then glanced at Lorenzo, who was staring at us like he was the smart one here and we were some random weirdos. It would be nice to humble him. "Why not?"

I shared a subtle smile with the librarian, "It's quite graphic."

Ms. Jude giggled, "18+'

Lorenzo gaped at the two of us, "I'm 17. Isn't that enough?"

I shrugged, "Rules are rules, Mr. Berkshire."

He groaned, then grabbed the book from Ms. Jude, alarming both of us, "What are you doing!" She said, in a harsh tone.

"I'm finishing it!"

"No bloody way-" I tried to grab it out of his hands, but he wouldn't budge. Instead, he walked away from us and behind a bookcase, so we could still see his upper- body (especially because of his height). "Maxine raised her hand to his lips and-"

"Stop it right now!" Ms. Jude cursed, but still was laughing over her words. I smiled along and got up to grab him, but he raised the book out of my reach.

"The boy smashed his lips against hers-"

"Lorenzo!" I laughed, reaching up to try and grab it from him. "Enzo- please! Fuck- Enzo! Give it to me!"

He rolled his eyes and dropped it down on my hands, and I almost fell over him in exhaustion. "You're pretty- fucking bossy." He muttered, giving me a kiss on my forehead.

Wait.

I didn't have time to react, instead walked back to my seat with a confused expression and questions swarming inside my head. What was that supposed to mean? Were we 'friends' enough that Lorenzo had forgotten what had happened the other night? That was two nights ago, but he had acted completely normal today, even in potions class when he didn't yell at me or throw me an unkind look.

Did I like him kissing my forehead?

I guess I did, because my forehead's skin continued to tingle from where his soft lips met my smooth skin, and I wanted to go into a bathroom stall and scream out of joy. Or confusion.

Lorenzo walked back to the table, acting like nothing had happened.

He sat down smoothly, and I didn't meet Ms. Jude's eyes whom I was sure was full of smugness. I stared down at the book in my hands and opened it up. "Should I read it?"

Ms. Jude gave me a stern look, and with that came a serious voice, "Not out loud. Do you know what Dumbledore will make me do if I allow you to read that- or Irma?"

I shrugged, carelessly. "So?"

She laughed nervously, "I would lose my job. Besides, you get to experience this in real life. Isn't that better?"

Lorenzo licked his lips and I stared at the table.

"Lily?"

I whipped my head around and my jaw almost dropped open. Sweet Merlin. I looked back, taking in her perspective. Her best friend and her crush sitting down in the library with a librarian. I turned back and gave her a confident smile. If I acted like what I was doing was something I had been hiding, she would be mad.
