Next day

Holy fuck. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlMIPtzELS
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka434GrF6r
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaViv1CSfbM
"Ben?" Her voice barely breaks through the roar of noise as I desperately try to focus on her. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxUGVUYbTR
"Hrrhh?" I think I made a noise, but I can't be sure. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJStXX9wUP
"Ben? Ben, are you okay?" Her face is inches from mine as she tries to break through the noise surrounding us. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjNUAfgbnH
Oh shit. She looks really worried. I need to snap out of this. What the hell is wrong with me? 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTwYJmy4zm
"Yeah... what?" I try to sound nonchalant, but it comes out a few octaves higher than normal. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc118g6XP4R
"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." 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKQbFdzBri
"Sorry..." I wasn't sure what to say. To be honest, I wasn't sure what had happened. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGTp55NjgN
"Was it really bad?" She asks, sounding concerned and incredibly insecure. She is so adorable... and stupid. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc1W18UOGI
"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? 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0UyrZG7Af
"The kiss." Her eyes are wide as she looks warily at me. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbWxz8Ff6T
"What about it?" I'm feeling defensive for some reason. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKKPySc44P
"Was it bad?" She looks genuinely worried. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7yC1KAHt3
"Bad isn't the word I would use." I smirk. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV4dCz1nha
"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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdfKyWtx6A
"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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVAdG9kKNc
She sighs. "Okay, if you say so." She still looks unconvinced. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBRRpfDpUx
"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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoZIMOeoGx
"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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DGUYdJFYI
"Honestly?" I want to be completely honest with her and this feeling scares the shit out of me. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHAImfRzAo
"I think so..." A part of me was hoping she would say no. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjNmdHAQBH
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUN3zYxE1v
"What?" She looks pretty cute when she's anxious. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqptzcIMgK
"You wanted honest." She did ask for it, but I still kinda feel bad for scaring her. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpff8x25VX
"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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpPs4Xkx1z
"Really?" I smirk. Maybe she likes me. Maybe I have a chance. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoqGW7tutS
"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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyGMBunR3z
"Oh okay..." It's hard to hide the disappointment. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeBstYL7dG
"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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9b2KS1zOL
"Seriously?" Shouldn't she know the answer to this? 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYfj4vjnh4
"What?" She looks confused. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VnlIP82h1
"You haven't exactly been friendly. I figured you hated-err... didn't like me." I try to defend myself without getting too defensive. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTzyREsBxR
She sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose. Am I giving her a headache? 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBDoVM15ip
"Hey... you okay?" I rub her arm, hoping to comfort her. It feels like there's electricity flowing between us, drawing us closer. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfCVHDlVJO
She just stares down at my hand, without saying anything. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7pMZcVdI6
"Oh, shit. Sorry." I pull my hand away, realizing I probably offended her... again. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8IZAVHFPM
"It's uh... it's fine." She tries to smile, but it looks strained and uncomfortable. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEvj9y0Pho
"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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1fIiTtg3Z
"Right..." She looks skeptical, and for some reason I feel the need to convince her. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98n8nDaoRf
"Seriously, I'm totally a good listener." I'm totally full of shit, I barely listen to Nate. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ50SZhaGmf
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6YJ004vbO
"Okay, that's a total lie, I'm a terrible listener." She laughs louder this time. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvSwhZDSBI
Yes, jackpot. I love that sound.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYS56FnwE0
"Now, that I believe." She smiles.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHznv7gQTJU
"I'm willing to try. For you." And I mean it. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3Wj6gRwiq
She rolls her eyes. "Oh my god. Has that line ever worked?"692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNQN6nWga3
I try to hide my surprise. "It's not a line." 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPaA43a0x7
"Riiiiigggghhht." She rolls her gorgeous eyes.692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHkIh3sevt
"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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3Ne6xoweI
"Nothing but trouble." She smirks, shaking her head in mock disappointment. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlHDwha0RM
"I'm guessing you don't want to be friends then?" I try to hide my disappointment. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhy9eRKHww
"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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G2GyNDNLA
"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? 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW37GT7hIU7
"Oh please. Don't play innocent. I know your type." Damn, she thinks she has me pegged. If only she knew...692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ0uKeReOh
"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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04oRCuyjFp
"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." 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhfEqBdv46
"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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkOHRubjTX
She leans in to whisper back. "I didn't say that. Why? What do you think?" 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRgqDcNaiY
I lean so close that I my lips brush against her ear. "I asked first." 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8bYA28PgQ
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? 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzdY8ghCl7
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. 692Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKHv78muq4
I'm probably about to make a huge mistake.
