I stared at the bottle in amazement. "This is really good."

Alex laughed. "I can't believe that you've never had pure pomegranate juice before." He laughed. "You look like you're in heaven."

"It's really good." I repeated.

"What's really good?" Taki dropped into the seat next to me.

"This." I showed him the bottle.

He took it from my hand and swallowed a large mouthful. "Very good." He said. Alex and I looked on in total shock.

"Is this what you call an 'indirect kiss?'" He whispered.

I nodded. "I think so." I whispered back.

Taki seemed to have understood and was blushing furiously. He held out the bottle for me to take back, but before I could, Hans (or Frans) snatched it out of his hand.

The twins finished off the bottle of pure pomegranate juice in seconds.

"Ahhh." Frans wiped his mouth.

"Good stuff." Hans tossed me back the empty bottle.

And so I realized that the so-called 'indirect kiss' is nothing more than assuaged thirst and empty bottles. On the romance scale, it was a 1.02 (because anything with hot guys has to be at least a one.)
