Lia noticed his gesture and felt sudden disappointment when he didn't touch her. Wait, why is she feeling that way? She subconsciously squeezed his hand.
Why is she squeezing my hand? Letting a soft, deep breath, Kaiden reached and stroked Lia's hair for a moment. "S-Sorry," he stuttered. "I just wanted to touch your hair."
Unexpectedly, she was pleasantly surprised. "Oh," was the only response she can utter. All of a sudden, something hit her and she turned her gaze away from his face. Why are they acting like a couple? She shook her thoughts away, and removed her hands from his. "Uh, want to grab something to eat?"
Lia took a candy and popped it into her mouth. Alex suddenly came from behind, putting her arms around the two of them. "Hey, what are you two lovebirds doing?" She teased, enjoying the expression on Lia's face.
Alex pretended to be hurt. "Must you act this cold towards me?" "Anyway, have some birthday cake!" Alex offered, giving them a slice each. She then left them alone, giving out cakes to everyone there.
"Well, that's nice," said Kaiden, eating a tiny bit of his cake. He nudged Lia. "Enjoying yourself?" Before he knew what he was thinking, he leaned over and kissed her cheek.
