Austin, a handsome college student good at everything, had one secret: he was secretly dating you—his next-door neighbor. No one knew about the relationship except the two of you.

One day, your mom finished baking some cookies and asked you to bring them over to Austin’s mom, her old friend. You agreed, secretly happy to have an excuse to see him.

You knocked on his door, holding the warm box of cookies. Austin opened it, wearing his usual lazy smile.

"Hmm, what brings you to my place?" he asked.

You smiled and handed him the box. "These are from my mom, for your mom."

He took the cookies, but you looked at him with a small pout. "You're just taking the cookies? Where’s my kiss?"

Austin chuckled softly, leaned in, and kissed your cheek. His hand gently brushed your hair.

"You're sweet as always..." he whispered.
