3rd Person POV
"Jade..." Malcolm whispered, and right at that moment, where Jade was still holding her cheeks in between, Malcolm stared at her lips and took the opportunity to claim it.
It was a gentle kiss. His lips slide tenderly on hers, and although it was soft way manner of Malcolm to ask for permission from Jade to kiss him back, the woman was still startled at the moment. She didn't expect that her best friend will kiss her directly on the lips.
Though the television was on and the noise was so loud, the surroundings around went silent. She could not hear anything more than her own heartbeat.
