What the fuck just happened?616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJq2eaYJGa
I can only register two things as I hide Big Ben from all the extra eyes in the doorway.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv4u0qNKS5
One, Red is pissed.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGB8Dr2VZT
Two, Kat is laughing... for some reason?616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7syxKwvN4H
Now, why the hell is she pissed? The way she eyed my junk earlier, I thought she might try to castrate me. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHod5x7NbDJ
What did I do to her? 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY5VBEDE2P
Well, whatever it is, she can leave Big Ben out of it. I try to hide my smirk at Kat's nickname since this seems like an inappropriate time.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1WONfCbtd
Okay, let's see... 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVRi6YGUlq
Did I say something stupid last night? That seems like something I would do... but I barely talked to her and it's not like I was wasted.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFxytr3jzu
"What the fuck is so fucking funny, Katarina?" Red's eyes bulge as she turns on her friend. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsGEXTkgo6
Kat just continues to laugh. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrB9zhHTTE
"This... This... man-whore..." She gestures towards me. "...is in here stealing your innocence while his idiot wingman is trying to distract me."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiubVdDhhBx
Say what now?616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw3aziettP
"Man-whore?" I get out the same time Kat speaks up. "Innocence?"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRLVxi76G6
Kat looks at me and blushes, but her gaze sweeps back to her friend. "Vanessa, seriously. Nothing happened. Calm down, Mama Bear."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM5IJpDuMc
"Oh right. You are both just sitting in bed... naked for no reason." Red rolls her eyes. "Come on, Katie-bug, I'm a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbJ4hQfci1
"Well, not completely naked." Kat drops the blanket. "You can't have sex with your underwear on, right?" 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRbKN1Di6V
I suck in a breath, suprised by her lack of modesty. "Jesus, Kat." I try to avert my gaze to the wall, but she's so damn sexy, my eyes keep wandering back to her.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHfdwTYf0d
Shit, I'm not sure Big Ben can handle much more... 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOdlMd083A
"Come on, Ness. They are both adults, just leave them alone." Nate speaks from behind Red.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0ArvtvCSh
Kat's entire body turns bright red as she realizes she has an audience. She pulls the sheet back over her body and hides her face.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPM7qt3xSR
I'm conflicted. I'm thankful she's covered, but I also miss the amazing view. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wInkVCtxZ
I need to see her again.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4eKUhZ9ws
Red turns on Nate. "And you! Don't even get me started on you." Her eyes narrow. "Trying to protect your wingman. You knew he would worm his way into her bed and you said nothing."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz5zKwjGF5
"Umm, this is his room, babe." He gives her a pointed look. It's nice to know he always has my back, even in this fucked up situation. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8JXftIaAc
"So what?" Her face contorts with confusion as she tries to understand.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ahEGlcYlW
Sick of being spoken about as if I'm not here, I defend myself. "So, I didn't weasel myself anywhere." 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMcmyGAywS
Kat covers her face with her hands.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vg0Ib8Vdb
...And I immediately feel guilty for speaking up. I should just keep my mouth shut instead of stroking my own ego.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRUCt9BhIH
Even if she did crawl into my bed. I would gladly take all the blame to get another night with her. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrgGCpdjd0
"Yeah, right. She was drunk and passed out, how do I know you didn't just strip her down and put her in your bed?" Red is a determined little thing. I wonder how Nate's going to be able to handle her. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLtk1B9sye
"I told you before, Ben wouldn't do that. If you want to keep accusing him of shit, you can leave!" Nate has my back.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOV9fBC0NP
Before Vanessa can react, Kat's meek voice comes out, as she lowers the blanket from her face. "Ness, he didn't." Her eyes dart to the floor. "He put me in the room next door."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCnHzdLgta
Shit, is she ashamed... of being caught or of being with me? 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T2cqZNWvo
"Oh..." Red's eyes widen as realization sets in. Is this really that weird for Kat?616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKsU1LH4Lw
"Why don't we give them a minute to get dressed?" Nate steps closer behind Vanessa as he slides his hands up and down her arms. "Come on, Babe."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLtMCnJSII
"Uh..." Vanessa clears her throat. "Yeah, we're just gonna... go." Her eyes avoid me completely.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3cByUx0p6
Once they have left the room, I'm not sure what to do. Honestly, I would like to finish what we started, but it's definitely not good timing.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg9ni2nj8K
Kat clears her throat. "I am so sorry about..." She waves her hands toward the door. "...all THAT."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvkhLureb1
"Uh... Yeah..." I can't help the laugh that escapes. "That was... weird." 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nAfRMcsVi
She sighs and flops back on the bed, rubbing her hands over her face. The sheet doesn't go with her. "What a mess..." 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvDRglcjnn
"Uh huh..." I'm having a hard time staying focused with her body exposed again. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtcHBbiBf1
"Okay, we need a plan." She continues to assault her eyes.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOvVihjQkp
"Uh huh..." I know I should be paying attention, but she's wearing see through underwear. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EFcaZNcA4
She moves her hands from her face and looks at me. "You aren't even listening, are you?"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb43sJIlD2E
"Uh huh..." Damn, she caught me off guard. "I mean... yeah. Totally."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62Loekrrux
She giggles, but hits my arm. "Focus, Ben!"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBSIXgvHlS
"Sorry, it's a little difficult." I gesture toward her body. Shit, what was I thinking? Now, she's going to cover up. Keep your mouth shut, stupid.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5fwia7VUL
"Oops..." She looks down at her body and throws me an innocent look. "Is this distracting?"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi0SNZfaC4
Oh, she knows what she's doing. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi0ayn2igG
I reach toward her, needing to feel her smooth skin... Just as a pillow hits me in the stomach. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8y78ew4IG
"Hey now! You almost hit Big Ben." I grin as the blush takes over her face. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAcsfchYRv
"Oh my god! Focus, Ben!" She throws the other pillow at my face. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaReKG5Hkc
"It would be easier if I wasn't being assaulted." I clutch both pillows in my lap so she can't use them to hit me anymore. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY8Dhezcs5
"Okay, I'm done beating you." I try to hide the smirk taking over my face. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvA5kj2opC
"You are into some kinky shit." I would totally let her beat me, you know, if she was into that.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPwpjf26Kb
Actually... I would probably let her do anything she wanted. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmaLEnuTmv
"Wh-what? No... I'm not..." She looks shocked, but I can't tell if I am way off or if I cracked some secret. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpP5Fpvh10
Something flashes in her eyes, so I decide to press it. "Wait, are you really? I was just joking." 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN1unrCr8g
Her mouth pops open in disbelief. I should probably stop, but I also really want to know. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLAza4JlPv
"What is it? Whips? Tied up? Foot fetish? Threesomes?" I'm not sure I like the thought of sharing her with anyone else...616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGl1dCeQzI
Her eyes narrow. I seem to have pushed too far. Curiosity killed the cat, right?616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgThPNILKH
"Oh come on... I will totally do it with you, if you just tell me." Maybe we can do some of my fantasies too, most of them involve her. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zo2QABUUQ
Her demeanor changes completely. "No." Her face stern, like when I first met her last night. "We need to get dressed and go out there and deal with this."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmBuQJg5jD
"Deal with... this?" I can't help but feel a little hurt. I thought we had something, even if it wouldn't last, but apparently not. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCMihFAe5U
"Yes... this situation." She speaks slowly, as though I'm incapable of understanding. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGIqod70ib
"So, now we are a situation?" I shoot back, not hiding my offense.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q9Fhj5GrT
"No Ben, there is no 'we'. This was all a huge drunken mistake." I'm not sure why, but those words sting somewhere deep within. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF72gxOh1S
I feel like someone kicked me in the stomach. My chest physically hurts. What is wrong with me? 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDniYn9Ltz
I didn't want a relationship or anything, but I wouldn't say it was a huge mistake. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjQZXVmNSb
"And this morning?" I ask bitterly. "How are you going to explain that away, Kat? We aren't drunk anymore." I try to unclench my jaw, but I can't.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMAzFaTcYT
"You know what I mean." She grabs her dress from the floor and pulls it over her head.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDiutuvudq
"Oh no, please enlighten me, Kat." It comes out through gritted teeth. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjKVIAb0oO
"You're mad?" She looks at me with complete confusion. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9VKDiQsZm
I glare at her, unsure what to say. Hell yes, I'm mad, but I can't explain why. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTVofmeZ5K
"I thought you did this kind of... thing. You know, like all the time." She looks embarrassed, but after she ripped out my heart a few minutes ago, I don't feel that bad. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OpS5WWJ9w
Wait... Is that what she did? Did I really mean that? If she ripped out my heart... No, it's just a figure of speech.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTSYbKihSc
"Not exactly..." I'm not sure how to respond. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw1dlDQ9KP
"Oh... I'm sorry. I heard... things. I just assumed. Oh god. I'm so sorry." She makes her way to the door, placing her hand on the knob.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3wYC3SkWx
"No... Well... I mean... Yeah... But... No?" Shit. When did my brain stop working. I'm about to lose her and I can't even say something to make her stay.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa55qLotqs
"Please just forget any of this happened." She begs before turning to walk out the door.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy9CpRMFLr
"I don't want to forget." I whisper as she walks out of the room with my heart.
