Next day
*
Holy fuck. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnDNEZ7yhH
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. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVbc1z07Te
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. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKMQvAMFfD
"Ben?" Her voice barely breaks through the roar of noise as I desperately try to focus on her. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUOFWl8Dee
"Hrrhh?" I think I made a noise, but I can't be sure. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj406fJgLj
"Ben? Ben, are you okay?" Her face is inches from mine as she tries to break through the noise surrounding us. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRvsPzQJcE
Oh shit. She looks really worried. I need to snap out of this. What the hell is wrong with me? 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DyC0FivAq
"Yeah... what?" I try to sound nonchalant, but it comes out a few octaves higher than normal. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ6H817N4Z
"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." 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EWG8e1FU8
"Sorry..." I wasn't sure what to say. To be honest, I wasn't sure what had happened. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWYrAQskvz
"Was it really bad?" She asks, sounding concerned and incredibly insecure. She is so adorable... and stupid. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnWner0SWn
"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? 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7dbkZr8Jg
"The kiss." Her eyes are wide as she looks warily at me. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM90wVGh9kl
"What about it?" I'm feeling defensive for some reason. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKbQNv9Wpz
"Was it bad?" She looks genuinely worried. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHAMfv5DxT
"Bad isn't the word I would use." I smirk. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD5yumKwt3
"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. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2lKbgqD67
"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. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9vy2Aelgh
She sighs. "Okay, if you say so." She still looks unconvinced. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCdvMnq97D
"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. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrhdkXJVkA
"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. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NouW7Xlus
"Honestly?" I want to be completely honest with her and this feeling scares the shit out of me. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmuM7xTlsX
"I think so..." A part of me was hoping she would say no. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jlIcilQs4
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. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSprWBz7nIu
"What?" She looks pretty cute when she's anxious. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrAgHVOQCT
"You wanted honest." She did ask for it, but I still kinda feel bad for scaring her. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORTphRzo4X
"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. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOAxAlGFno
"Really?" I smirk. Maybe she likes me. Maybe I have a chance. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZa166II11
"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. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi1013dnpC
"Oh okay..." It's hard to hide the disappointment. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0AUqEGWKN
"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. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7v87Ct5pC
"Seriously?" Shouldn't she know the answer to this? 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hQaP0RHlK
"What?" She looks confused. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz8GkO8ewH
"You haven't exactly been friendly. I figured you hated-err... didn't like me." I try to defend myself without getting too defensive. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcggbyd1eo4
She sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose. Am I giving her a headache? 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dVgECERwC
"Hey... you okay?" I rub her arm, hoping to comfort her. It feels like there's electricity flowing between us, drawing us closer. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCFhQRgYAt
She just stares down at my hand, without saying anything. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4q4SxZIwg
"Oh, shit. Sorry." I pull my hand away, realizing I probably offended her... again. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHJqk3cpk8
"It's uh... it's fine." She tries to smile, but it looks strained and uncomfortable. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uSWbF7Gld
"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. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsKVar9vJ1
"Right..." She looks skeptical, and for some reason I feel the need to convince her. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSh9EQixpe
"Seriously, I'm totally a good listener." I'm totally full of shit, I barely listen to Nate. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVNnYLpk2l
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. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAWz31Apva
"Okay, that's a total lie, I'm a terrible listener." She laughs louder this time. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MdQ0kZXYE
Yes, jackpot. I love that sound.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRiUhkIpyu
"Now, that I believe." She smiles.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9ycMQk1Yg
"I'm willing to try. For you." And I mean it. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHtIOfEB3o
She rolls her eyes. "Oh my god. Has that line ever worked?"731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jxe51qEQf
I try to hide my surprise. "It's not a line." 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyczXPZbtCU
"Riiiiigggghhht." She rolls her gorgeous eyes.731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7HwQ7Opcj
"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. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKzJ7xihyj
"Nothing but trouble." She smirks, shaking her head in mock disappointment. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTCpm2K1J7
"I'm guessing you don't want to be friends then?" I try to hide my disappointment. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftx4U4Miyj
"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. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZEK1sWKt5
"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? 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWPaTBnTvj
"Oh please. Don't play innocent. I know your type." Damn, she thinks she has me pegged. If only she knew...731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cv183ZEiN
"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. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56eIbPogYg
"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." 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdLmP64Fgm
"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. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowMZBFDYob
She leans in to whisper back. "I didn't say that. Why? What do you think?" 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQiatNSXyf
I lean so close that I my lips brush against her ear. "I asked first." 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GtHUkMo81
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? 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j92LS0i6n
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. 731Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLUuB2S6ub
I'm probably about to make a huge mistake.
