Same day

621Please respect copyright.PENANALDeIW41Adp
"That's... not... I wasn't..." I try to explain, but now that the lust haze is gone, I am unable to rationalize my actions. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAwvSwkqsG5U
Was that what I was doing? I wanted to stop thinking about everything and I figured with what I heard about Ben, he wouldn't complain. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAZFqqEy5wIj
"Ugh... I'm such an idiot." I cover my face with my hands. I just want to get out of here. Laying next to him in my underwear after being rejected is so embarrassing. I need to leave.621Please respect copyright.PENANAoYq8jrHvGx
He pulls my hands away from my face. His eyes meeting mine. "No, you aren't. You are just hurting."621Please respect copyright.PENANAsouOfaLDqs
Is that it?621Please respect copyright.PENANAKJy5EebecY
When I caught him with that whore, I was almost relieved. Maybe I'm just not processing my emotions properly... 621Please respect copyright.PENANAcrSFWZLWA2
I should be devastated. I mean, I am really upset, but I feel more like I'm mourning the life I lost, not the person. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAtx2vrmZDJd
I think he wanted to get caught. He probably hoped I would join in or something.621Please respect copyright.PENANA1zYxTD9h6P
What a creep. How could I give so much to him? I cannot let myself get wrapped up in another man like that again. 621Please respect copyright.PENANA2AU6V4ljWk
I need to be strong. 621Please respect copyright.PENANANxeyIVPpeE
621Please respect copyright.PENANA525jd27OSR
I need to be independent. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAareFgTvNqD
621Please respect copyright.PENANAWFlgEdiT4S
I need to make better choices. 621Please respect copyright.PENANA0eZcM26eNy
I need to... not be here. Crap.621Please respect copyright.PENANAVH1ByYxl1r
Ben makes me feel weak and vulnerable.621Please respect copyright.PENANAapCRB0ECGE
But also powerful and wanted. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAdPcPLB5a7U
Ugh... I am so confused. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAjvDOC0ifGN
I do know that hopping from one guy literally onto another is not a good choice.621Please respect copyright.PENANA0DjAJzJgyp
I also know that nothing casual can happen with my best friend's boyfriend's best friend. That would be all kinds of complicated. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAWEsKaCS7vb
Hopefully I haven't made things too awkward. Oh god, what if they get married? I will have to see him all the time. I will be reminded of this night forever.621Please respect copyright.PENANARssZTPaabn
He smirks, tucking my hair behind my ear. "There she is, the wheels are turning again." 621Please respect copyright.PENANAvNLDZ9wigc
I can't help the laugh that bubbles up. I probably sound insane, but this night is all sorts of messed up. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAPnRaaAuEP2
His face lights up and his dimples emerge. Crap. His smile turns my insides to jelly.621Please respect copyright.PENANAqedbMw34W7
"Come on, Katarina, give the poor little hamster a break. Tell me your thoughts." He gives me a reassuring smile. I'm not sure I like him using my full name, it makes my heart flutter.621Please respect copyright.PENANAbGQL5NBJL7
"I think..." I need a light topic. I just want to ignore my problems. "I think this has been the weirdest night."621Please respect copyright.PENANAAUnnU2IwQR
He nods in agreement. "Weird good or weird bad?"621Please respect copyright.PENANA6KaWnleIie
"Hah... Both?" I wince, knowing he's going to prod for more and I don't want to go any deeper.621Please respect copyright.PENANA4iVpJwLNSi
"I am going to have to agree with you." I was not expecting him to agree. "Although, I think yours had a bit more bad than mine." His hand caresses my cheek and I can't help but lean into his touch. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAT2RGFWKTmr
I am so weak. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAH5yicQ5SAv
"Hmm..." His touch is relaxing and I feel the day catching up with me. The emotions and tears taking their toll on my body. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAN7rmPqDCk0
"You falling asleep on me, Kitty Kat?" I can hear the smile in his voice, but I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open.621Please respect copyright.PENANAuz1IXbd5S8
"I am not a cat." I say, as sternly as I can muster, but it comes out weak. 621Please respect copyright.PENANA5gW1uuL5jz
"Meow." He chuckles at his own joke.621Please respect copyright.PENANAqAgpJyQ45F
"You are so not funny." I mumble.621Please respect copyright.PENANAljHO6PmGlZ
"Oh come on. You're no fun." He tries to tease me, but he doesn't realize just how accurate he is. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAWRnP8yTSRx
Maybe if I were more fun, things would be different. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAVycoKy02jF
"If only you knew..." I snuggle into his hard chest, hoping he won't ask anymore questions. 621Please respect copyright.PENANA3hzUyUxyGc
I know I should leave, but I just can't bring myself to part with him. I'm sure he's filling some void and I'm being pathetic, but he hasn't thrown me out yet.621Please respect copyright.PENANAdAbPbc6jvc
In fact, he pulls me tighter. Resting his face in my hair. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAiRAG3uLl5Y
"Don't worry, I will protect you." He whispers and as I drift off into oblivion, I actually believe him. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAmHk5QxcZuY
I awake to the sounds of muffled shouting. There is a heated argument somewhere nearby. 621Please respect copyright.PENANA2rxDFqxhXq
When I try to move, I bump something hard with my elbow and freeze. I hear a groan and feel the bed move slightly. I am not alone.621Please respect copyright.PENANAl46Nlg7oNC
Oh no. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAJo2inINPh4
What did I do? 621Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZQB0vqQ1Z
Scanning the room, I realize I have no idea where I am or who could be behind me.621Please respect copyright.PENANAr2bJhq4xyG
Unless Vanessa is having a really rough morning, that was definitely too deep to be her voice.621Please respect copyright.PENANAsIydPGptGp
Crap. I am too afraid to look, who could it be? Bits and pieces from the night come to me, but not enough to piece together anything solid.621Please respect copyright.PENANANqK6NUSYJz
I remember crying at some point.621Please respect copyright.PENANAdeWtZLh97I
621Please respect copyright.PENANAuPa0HkoSdv
I remember drinking more than I should have.621Please respect copyright.PENANAqcpxBtro0a
621Please respect copyright.PENANAq1afP91Wcx
I remember Vanessa being her usual self. 621Please respect copyright.PENANA9OBraTNQXg
621Please respect copyright.PENANAicY8WfEhi7
I remember her new boy toy stuck to her side. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAGupN64NbwC
621Please respect copyright.PENANAu5SXC05ZK8
And I remember... Uh oh. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAOnchgnrW9U
It couldn't be... I wouldn't... Would I?621Please respect copyright.PENANA3t7ubYX6E6
Am I really asking myself this after waking up next to some random guy? Well, maybe not so random...621Please respect copyright.PENANAkYXdE0e82E
Oh god, this is all sorts of complicated. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAunMxwVcXD6
Okay, I just have to know... I try to roll over gently, without disturbing him. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAnmZYMTmgDb
I find a pair of amused green eyes staring back at me. A gorgeous grin with dimples on his stupid perfect face. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAMgRHpR7bMa
Crap. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAOygzxQkrww
I know I'm blushing hard, I can literally feel my face burning. 621Please respect copyright.PENANApN4LLLF1FV
How did this happen?621Please respect copyright.PENANAmZsNdLKhSg
"You done freaking out yet?" He asks with a chuckle. 621Please respect copyright.PENANA4rD6SJHEKq
Is he... laughing at me? 621Please respect copyright.PENANAXg7tpHv8HW
"Uh..." And just like that, he has short circuited the connection between my brain and mouth. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAhPAJ1IvDg5
"Don't panic." He talks softly, like I am some wild animal that might bite him.621Please respect copyright.PENANAcR9nu8Mmy4
I am totally panicking. I just can't decide if I want to run out of the room or stay and figure out what exactly happened. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAgVfQ9qO9uC
My curiosity wins, just barely. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAz5XWBsKmIC
"Nothing happened." I must look really confused, because he feels the need to explain further. "We didn't have sex."621Please respect copyright.PENANAArAVd97umb
"Oh..." I'm not sure if I should be relieved or hurt that he was naked laying next to me.621Please respect copyright.PENANASskIC5e2xf
Nope. Not letting my mind go there.621Please respect copyright.PENANAj4zGiAzRpb
I choose to feel relief. I wouldn't have remembered it anyway. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAsGHiROTcfT
"Not for lack of you trying, of course." He flashes a cocky smirk at me. 621Please respect copyright.PENANA4jwtaCzQmO
I feel a frown tugging at the corners of my mouth, despite my attempt to keep my face neutral. No, I didn't throw myself at him, did I? 621Please respect copyright.PENANAJrThX5B3jS
I vaguely remember waking up and thinking I heard my name through the wall and then... 621Please respect copyright.PENANAp0GTy7JLWZ
"No way... I... Oh god!" My eyes pop open so wide, they begin to hurt.621Please respect copyright.PENANAHtD41LKPF4
Crap. Did I really climb on top of him? Yep, I was totally grinding on him.621Please respect copyright.PENANAC49afGK2AP
I gasp, my gaze running down his body before I can stop myself. I take in his muscles, but his bottom half is covered in a sheet. 621Please respect copyright.PENANA94CTaCDjvI
His eyes meet mine. "Reminiscing?" 621Please respect copyright.PENANAQxMLWTRFum
"What! No!" My voice is too high and rushed to be convincing. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAfXc29lt0Qs
I remember licking his defined chest.621Please respect copyright.PENANAhfTU1Emfk2
621Please respect copyright.PENANAXOscSm1w7N
I remember... 621Please respect copyright.PENANASHZQ9o5Fyn
he was naked!621Please respect copyright.PENANAj460bWqWKM
I inwardly groan. I totally touched him. I know how big he is and... 621Please respect copyright.PENANA6BLVUYK6it
Oh god! I know how he tastes. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAX8fwRXsxXG
"Shit." I know it's inelegant, but I can't think of anything else to say.621Please respect copyright.PENANAXwJ6ZGQM9Z
His mouth pops open as his face twists in shock. "Did you just... I can't believe you just said shit!" 621Please respect copyright.PENANAWV0hJTWUiF
"What? Why not?" I sit up, feeling defensive. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAZU8WIMLY5e
Why is he so shocked? He barely knows me. Why does he assume this? Did I say something weird last night?621Please respect copyright.PENANAjYXm4s2Cgs
"You seemed kinda offended when I cussed, so I guess I just assumed..." He looks shy, almost like he was caught doing something wrong.621Please respect copyright.PENANABJuez8oNBV
"Based on?" Sure, I don't make a habit of using curse words, but it's more an ingrained reflex than an actual choice. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAtx4ENrMzke
He hesitates, like he's afraid to say and I begin to feel slightly nervous. Crap, what did I say?621Please respect copyright.PENANAsf9FM0BPiD
"You... uh... kinda flinched." He blushes and looks around the room. Insecure Ben is totally adorable. 621Please respect copyright.PENANA0t2saCgc38
"Oh." I'm honestly not sure how to respond because I definitely can't tell him the truth. "Well, I wasn't offended."621Please respect copyright.PENANAJguXONGE38
"Okay." He blows out a breath, looking up at the ceiling. "If you say so." 621Please respect copyright.PENANABEFVOWyrE3
He looks completely unconvinced but I can't give him more than that. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAvEdgpByeiE
"So." He clears his throat. "Not to be totally awkward here..." His gaze drops to the tent of his crotch before his eyes scan the floor. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAqBNFR0Gqwf
"And not that I would mind laying in bed with you all day." He looks down my body and winks. "But, maybe we should get dressed?"621Please respect copyright.PENANA2cjorWP2Rq
I look down at myself, just now realizing I'm sitting here in lacy underwear. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAQPlKDlWlCo
When I don't respond, Ben flashes his smile. "Or not, I mean you look great." 621Please respect copyright.PENANAeGzEURwDdP
I am unable to hide the look of shock on my face before I snatch the sheet to cover myself. 621Please respect copyright.PENANACCVUDDJAuF
Which is no longer covering "Little Ben", if you can even call it that.621Please respect copyright.PENANA961cV4VQbN
Oops.621Please respect copyright.PENANApOavZlaGHS
Of course that would happen to me! I take a moment to look at it in the daylight and wow, it's like a sculpture. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAatqFUnAgL5
Unable to stop myself, I have apparently lost my filter completely around this man. 621Please respect copyright.PENANASnaiKRrJeX
"Well hello, Big Ben." I try not to giggle like an immature school girl, but Ben's laugh makes me laugh harder. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAQtopG9tk7d
"Big Ben, huh?" He grins, making my stomach flutter. He shakes his head, amused. "What am I going to do with you?"621Please respect copyright.PENANA9v3O2hRX05
My mouth goes dry as my mind conjures up all kinds of things he could do to me. It feels like all the air was sucked out of the room as I struggle to control my breathing. Is it hot in here, or is it just me?621Please respect copyright.PENANAz6THGYCnMw
My gaze returns to "Big Ben", as it seems to grow, straining to reach me. 621Please respect copyright.PENANADsxsAEs0KZ
Prying my eyes away, I meet his green gaze. He's no longer grinning or teasing, in fact, it looks like he's in pain. 621Please respect copyright.PENANATvFgFIYcQp
"So, you like what you see?" His eyes never leaving mine. I try to close my mouth and steady my breathing. I need to keep my composure, but my head nods without my approval. 621Please respect copyright.PENANARnKnZbFjMr
I lick my lips, remembering last night. I can't get my mouth to form words.621Please respect copyright.PENANAN6PYQhp2wr
"Because I wouldn't mind seeing a little more." He reaches forward, tugging down the sheet. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAzVq2VmVG2v
He sucks in a breath. "Fuck, Kat."621Please respect copyright.PENANAa796EQCVTa
I close my eyes, my insides turning to liquid fire. I love his cussing, like he can't control himself. Maybe it's because of my background and it makes him seem like such a bad boy, but it turns me on, like crazy.621Please respect copyright.PENANAmfEyOFbiwa
He caresses my breasts through the sheer fabric. "God damn, you are beautiful." 621Please respect copyright.PENANAA4TZmu0KDk
I absorb his words as another wave of lust hits me. I know this is a bad idea. I know we should not be doing this, but I'm not sure I could stop it, even if I wanted to. 621Please respect copyright.PENANA1sBtAON1xO
His hands move down my body as his mouth meets mine. His kiss is hungry and desperate and I can't get enough. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAnAZiB17cmW
His hand grazes me where I'm aching and I nearly explode. I need him. Now. 621Please respect copyright.PENANANGZhqPpUvA
"Do you have a condom?" He has to have one in here somewhere, right?621Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9BDzbFmXt
He blushes and looks slightly uncomfortable. "Actually..." We both freeze as the sound of yelling grows closer. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAFk5v5rrUu1
I pull the sheet up to cover myself just as the door bursts open. All I see Vanessa's fiery hair flying around as she takes the scene before her. "What the fucking fuck is fucking going on in here?" 621Please respect copyright.PENANAcWLgmbEkTe
I know her well enough to know when she can't think, she drops f-bombs. Her gaze drops to Ben's crotch, before he grabs a corner of the sheet to cover himself. 621Please respect copyright.PENANASeEHqZhgQD
I can't help the laughter that bursts out of me at the sight of her craziness. "Calm yourself, Vanessa."
