"Tastes good."
Zoey blinked her eyes many times, hearing her brain cells short circuit. "Uh..." Staring back at his gentle yet still intimidating front, she gulped and tiptoed; returning the kiss for a second.
Her sudden action took Matthew Xi by surprise as it happened within a second. "I said you have many things to learn... don't make me look like a liar." Zoey put up her strong front, never backing down because he initiated the kiss.
Despite his sudden gentleness making her heart skip a beat, she wouldn't succumb and act like a little miss. After all, she's the mighty Zoey! She wouldn't run away, she would make him do that.
"Mhm..." Nodding his head, Matthew Xi hummed a tune as he leaned down slowly. Alas, knowing what he was about to do, Zoey stopped him by covering his lips.
"No more!" Almost panicking, Zoey exclaimed which made him frown. "Jeez..." She sighed, shaking her head as she averted her attention to the dish she was making.
