Next day

Holy fuck. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUK0TZlUoa
My mind can't even comprehend what just happened. That kiss was... there aren't even words. It was like the earth stood still. It took all of my will power to stop myself from taking it further, but I didn't want to give her more of a reason to hate me. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIhQ96Ic3Y
I feel like I'm going to explode. She is incredible. I need to know her. Her mouth, her touch, her scent, it was way too much. I'm struggling to bring my brain back to reality, but all the blood is flowing in the opposite direction. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ7Chh1dfr
"Ben?" Her voice barely breaks through the roar of noise as I desperately try to focus on her. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91aTPGYUcE
"Hrrhh?" I think I made a noise, but I can't be sure. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8OTYldABH
"Ben? Ben, are you okay?" Her face is inches from mine as she tries to break through the noise surrounding us. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZTgwhPw9J
Oh shit. She looks really worried. I need to snap out of this. What the hell is wrong with me? 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcjYLF3Or5
"Yeah... what?" I try to sound nonchalant, but it comes out a few octaves higher than normal. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu960Qf7Pn5
"Oh god. Don't do that to me!" She smacks my arm and all I can do is stare at the place she hit me. "You scared the crap out of me." 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI0wAC0Oc3
"Sorry..." I wasn't sure what to say. To be honest, I wasn't sure what had happened. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlH48MCvV7
"Was it really bad?" She asks, sounding concerned and incredibly insecure. She is so adorable... and stupid. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJljFu5i7Ic
"What the fuck are you talking about?" She flinches from the harshness of my question. I had to stop myself from shoving her onto the table and she's worried that it was bad? Where does she come up with this shit? 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ycHCmS4rG
"The kiss." Her eyes are wide as she looks warily at me. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90Obnp9m08
"What about it?" I'm feeling defensive for some reason. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKncwTT02Kc
"Was it bad?" She looks genuinely worried. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbeHDLvIgR
"Bad isn't the word I would use." I smirk. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSyrFWSK1K
"Oh no... It was worse than bad? What did I do wrong?" Her face falls and her eyes glaze over. Oh shit, is she going to cry? The thought of her crying makes my chest hurt. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5vJInutQ5
"Shit. That's not what I meant, Kat. It wasn't bad, at all. It was pretty good." I look at her, hoping she believes me. I'm seriously failing at being nonchalant. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNcIVxshkP
She sighs. "Okay, if you say so." She still looks unconvinced. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRwtKfgwk5
"Oh, I do say so." I resist the urge to grab her hand and show her just how hard I am since that would probably earn me a slap. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn6ZVlaMuV
"Then... why did you stop?" She blushes. Maybe hurricane was an accurate description of her. She is definitely a whirlwind. I haven't been able to tell up from down since I met her. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7Fs9ETm5M
"Honestly?" I want to be completely honest with her and this feeling scares the shit out of me. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPYZL52gim
"I think so..." A part of me was hoping she would say no. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B4BGzTkKO
I sigh. "I didn't want you to hate me even more than you already do." She tries to hide her gasp. Maybe I shouldn't have been quite so honest. I am totally screwing this up. I think I left my "game" in my car, next to my brain. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdt5ZK7x9f
"What?" She looks pretty cute when she's anxious. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgjRmU6eXl
"You wanted honest." She did ask for it, but I still kinda feel bad for scaring her. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAroGjsOpmX
"I... uh... I don't hate you." As she struggles to get the words out, I wonder if she really means it or if she's just trying to be nice. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSahyRqXe2j
"Really?" I smirk. Maybe she likes me. Maybe I have a chance. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zSAgOq3kv
"No, of course not. I don't hate anyone." Well, shit. I'm just anyone. I should have known I wouldn't mean anything more to her. Wait, do I want to mean something more to her? She has my head all messed up. I can't think straight. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WMFd0JL9y
"Oh okay..." It's hard to hide the disappointment. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNVvEKxXP4
"Why do you think I hate you?" She sounds so sincere, but I don't know how to answer this question. Shit. Why did I have to say I would be honest? I've backed myself into a corner. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGZUpUp1UN
"Seriously?" Shouldn't she know the answer to this? 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeaKDwDamT
"What?" She looks confused. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETIJEe5obY
"You haven't exactly been friendly. I figured you hated-err... didn't like me." I try to defend myself without getting too defensive. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOnjPDMM0s
She sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose. Am I giving her a headache? 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WiKyLIqqo
"Hey... you okay?" I rub her arm, hoping to comfort her. It feels like there's electricity flowing between us, drawing us closer. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2od0BdFzP
She just stares down at my hand, without saying anything. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjhkLauTD6
"Oh, shit. Sorry." I pull my hand away, realizing I probably offended her... again. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE0D0CRvB3
"It's uh... it's fine." She tries to smile, but it looks strained and uncomfortable. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S5hrSqmI4
"Seriously Kat, if you want to talk, I'm here." I try to sound earnest, but I don't usually listen to girls when they talk anymore. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX0dE8TeIJ
"Right..." She looks skeptical, and for some reason I feel the need to convince her. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42PAUswn93
"Seriously, I'm totally a good listener." I'm totally full of shit, I barely listen to Nate. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHGcE63CP5
She laughs, a real laugh. I feel like I won the fucking lottery. It's like music and I can't get enough. I need to hear that again. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeCvN1wwfU
"Okay, that's a total lie, I'm a terrible listener." She laughs louder this time. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh63q4qS2sn
Yes, jackpot. I love that sound.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD8s8SKWqA
"Now, that I believe." She smiles.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKrOEkue7r
"I'm willing to try. For you." And I mean it. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PwNGW0DL5
She rolls her eyes. "Oh my god. Has that line ever worked?"707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxiEJS9yxG
I try to hide my surprise. "It's not a line." 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQamd69prR
"Riiiiigggghhht." She rolls her gorgeous eyes.707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTwIHA1YJG
"Seriously, talking isn't something I usually offer." I try not to look pleased with myself, but it's hard when you are just good at what you do. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6ZJyEUeyQ
"Nothing but trouble." She smirks, shaking her head in mock disappointment. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gjCvQuqEz
"I'm guessing you don't want to be friends then?" I try to hide my disappointment. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXL3kMlJyi
"I never said that, but I have a feeling a guy like you doesn't want to be friends." She gives me a pointed look, like I should know what she's talking about. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzlWH5HkSu
"A guy like me? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" She flinches at the harsh language. I'm guessing she isn't a fan of cussing. Great. What am I getting myself into? 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbBHuCjaFL
"Oh please. Don't play innocent. I know your type." Damn, she thinks she has me pegged. If only she knew...707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8u9PnSvsg
"Listen, I don't know what you are getting at, but I figure if my best friend is hooking up with your best friend, it's in our best interest to play nice." I try to go with the most logical approach. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TFCM61c5d
"Oh." She sucks in a breath. I feel a little victory for catching her off guard. "I guess you have a point. We should be friendly, you know, for as long as it lasts." 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfEwoo4Mci
"Right, obviously." I try to go back to nonchalance, but ruin it by leaning in to whisper in her ear. "Wait, do you think it's not going to last?" I pull back to see her reaction. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw18NBTVR9x
She leans in to whisper back. "I didn't say that. Why? What do you think?" 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAMHR0SApN
I lean so close that I my lips brush against her ear. "I asked first." 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid5RDjGRwj
I pull back to smirk, but she's looking at me through heavy lids. Her lips are parted and she's practically panting. Does she want me to kiss her? Or is it just the alcohol affecting her? 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuNBL6opIJ
Shit, I usually don't have to think about this stuff. She is seriously messing with my head. I lean forward to test her reaction. I can feel her breath on my lips. 707Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwtOviaAMM
I'm probably about to make a huge mistake.
