Before she realized what she just said, Cole came closer to her and held her waist. He kissed her lips gently at first but Megan started to respond to his kisses. Their kiss intensifies and they both can feel their hunger for each other. When they were done, they started laughing at each other. They talked about how they are both crazy about each other right from the start. Megan can't believe what she's hearing. She thought that Cole just sees her as his little sister. "Why did you wait for the entire semester?" She asked him as they started working. "Well, my situation was not that great the first time we met. I also want to give you enough time to get over your ex. I don't want to be the rebound guy." He replied. "I thought you just see me as your little sister." "Then I'm good at masking my feelings. Your mom already knows about it though." "Did you tell her about it?" She asked and giggled. "Yeah, she asked me about it when I met them for the first time. She's cool with it but she requested for me to wait until you graduate." Cole got up from his seat and hugged her from behind. He can't seem to stay far from her now. Not now that they already kissed and their feelings got revealed. "But my graduation is not until next month!" She responded looking at him. "I know, but I can't wait anymore. You're starting to friendzone me. I can't take that risk." He said and planted a kiss on her cheek. "Well, you're a good actor! I thought you don't see me the same way I see you." "It's not easy to pretend. I wanted to hold you like this every time we see each other." He said and tightened his embrace. Megan seems to be enjoying it and holds Cole's arms that wrap around her. They stayed quiet for some time. Just enjoying their moment together as lovers. It's very different from what she had with John before. Cole is more matured and he treats her like a princess. "I love you, Megan!" Cole uttered. She wasn't expected to say the L word right away but felt very happy about it. Her heart fluttered with his affection. Something that she didn't experience before even with John. Maybe because she's been crushing on him since they met. "I love you too, Cole!" She replied. She gets up from her seat and faces Cole. This time, she's the one who initiated their kiss. She wanted to do that for a few months now. It's a great feeling now that she can kiss him when she wants to. The alarm went off as they were all over each other. They both jerked from their position and went towards the machine that they are developing. It looks like a booth but it can take you to the parallel universe if it's working. It's only a few months since they started to invent this machine. That's just a part of their challenge to each other. They were able to come up with a solution on how to travel to another universe. So they have decided to just create something out of it. But it doesn't work when they place a small ladybug on it. It's been quiet for a month and they never thought that they would hear the alarm. They are now both standing near the machine and stare at each other. "I'm gonna open it. You may want to stay back. Just in case." Cole instructed her. "What if it works?" Megan asked but not backed away. "Then that means that we're geniuses!" Cole exclaimed ecstatically. "Just opened it! The bug may just trigger the alarm somehow." She said. Cole placed the code from the keypad and then waited for the door to open. They are both holding their breath as the door slid from the machine. But the ladybug is nowhere in sight. Instead, it looks like a puppy with red fur and black spots. "Arf, arf…" the creature made a barking sound. "What happened to the ladybug?" Megan asked. Before Cole was able to answer, the dog-like creature jumped on him. Luckily, it looks harmless aside from its odd fur. It's like a normal dog. Megan picks it up and carries it to the lab table. "Now, this is the type of pet we don't see every day!" She exclaimed. But just when they both thought that it's just a dog, it started to fly with its bug wings. It caught them by surprise and they ran for it. No one should see this creature. At least not until they figure out what happened to it. Cole managed to catch it and place it in one of the cages they have ready for future experiments. They never thought that they would be able to use one of those right away. Megan tries to find some food to feed their new pet. But they only have chips and some salad. She tried to feed it some chicken strips from the salad but the creature doesn't seem to like it. Then she takes a bite from the lettuce while trying to figure out what food to feed it. The creature barks whenever she takes a bite from the salad. "Babe, I think it likes the lettuce," Cole suggested. Did he just call her Babe? She ignores it and gives a lettuce leaf to the creature. They both got confused when its long tongue came out to take the lettuce. It looks hungry so she gave it some more. "It's not a dog!" Megan concluded. "Yeah, it looks like it. But how?" Cole asked himself out loud. "Well, we can have different theories about this. Maybe the ladybug went to another universe and this creature is from there." She responded. "Or maybe, we invented the machine that can transform something into another type of being," Cole added. The creature finished the salad but left the chicken untouched. It's a herbivore and it's a good thing. That means that it only eats a plant-based diet. They are safe from this creature then. But after eating, it looks like it's sleepy and closes its eyes. "Ahhh... it's so cute! We should name it!" Megan exclaimed. "What? No! It's an experiment, not a pet!" Cole responded. "Well, we have created a different creature if your theory is correct. It's our responsibility now!" She explained. "Babe, we don't name experiments," Cole explained. "We have to so we can easily classify them if we already have more! Let's call it Sally because it likes eating salad." She suggested. Cole realized that it's too late. She already gave the creature a name. He decided to just go along with it. After all, it's their first creation even if they have no idea how a ladybug turned into this puppy-like creature. "Fine. Sally, it is then?" He surrendered and wrapped his arm around her waist. "Yey! It's really cute! I hope that I can bring it to my apartment." She exclaimed. "Of course not! We're not sure about what it can do. It's not safe to do that right now." Cole responded sounding worried. "Okay, but we have to buy more salad for Sally! We're not sure when it will wake up." She sounded like a little child now excited with her new pet. Cole can't help but adore her. She's an awesome girl and he's lucky to have her. He kissed her cheek again as she kept her eyes on the creature. "I think we're really on something here, Cole. It's not just theories that we have now!" She stated. "You're right! But we need to understand if this creature came from another universe or we accidentally created it." He replied. "Well, one thing is for sure, we are geniuses!" She declared and faced him to hug him. "Yeah, I guess you're right! We are geniuses!" He agreed and hugged her tightly. "Everything seems to be going according to plan. I guess all our hard work is now paying off. I'm glad I'm working with the greatest mind of all time!" She said excitedly. "Greatest mind of all time huh? Are you talking about yourself?" Cole jokingly asked. "Of course not, silly! I'm talking about you, my genius boyfriend!" She responded. "So, you mean that I'm your boyfriend now?" He teased her. "You're my boyfriend now since we already kissed, right?" She asked with a worried expression on her face. "Sure. But I'm actually thinking of asking you to be my fiance!" Cole informed her. "Whoa, let's enjoy the boyfriend-girlfriend status for now. Then you can propose to me after the graduation." She clarified. "Fine. I made a promise to your mom and dad to wait for your graduation anyway." He responded. "Wait, did you talk about marriage and stuff already?" She asked, feeling amazed on how Cole was able to talk to her parents that way. "They asked me what my plans were about you. I just told them what I'm planning to do in the future." He answered. Megan is speechless and she can't explain how happy Cole made her feel. He already plans to marry her even before telling her his feelings. All she was able to do is to hug him tightly again and hope that they will be together forever from now on.
