What the fuck just happened?690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7gjMWTuo5
I can only register two things as I hide Big Ben from all the extra eyes in the doorway.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZRKH6T2Jj
One, Red is pissed.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04eIo3BTQf
Two, Kat is laughing... for some reason?690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNMo2tiy1A
Now, why the hell is she pissed? The way she eyed my junk earlier, I thought she might try to castrate me. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIaBYk11FH
What did I do to her? 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvtDjavHWb
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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0IHE3b5Rd
Okay, let's see... 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs60XtBkvI5
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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7X1gtM6uh
"What the fuck is so fucking funny, Katarina?" Red's eyes bulge as she turns on her friend. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8zkyl3An1
Kat just continues to laugh. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSMvMXh6RT
"This... This... man-whore..." She gestures towards me. "...is in here stealing your innocence while his idiot wingman is trying to distract me."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZJ20cc5Sw
Say what now?690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL8UUWr5CG
"Man-whore?" I get out the same time Kat speaks up. "Innocence?"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN50veB6drz
Kat looks at me and blushes, but her gaze sweeps back to her friend. "Vanessa, seriously. Nothing happened. Calm down, Mama Bear."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCSnl6VxjO
"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."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JtfS91AAM
"Well, not completely naked." Kat drops the blanket. "You can't have sex with your underwear on, right?" 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJxfKhgFgb
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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrOZCUxYCp
Shit, I'm not sure Big Ben can handle much more... 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD8FMeJFRT
"Come on, Ness. They are both adults, just leave them alone." Nate speaks from behind Red.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpQOtEVLkq
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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnIIGzl4vf
I'm conflicted. I'm thankful she's covered, but I also miss the amazing view. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RPf5MqycQ
I need to see her again.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokV4Xj41zg
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."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVbzgoOmw2
"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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2f41qByOm
"So what?" Her face contorts with confusion as she tries to understand.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTiLkSFI9i
Sick of being spoken about as if I'm not here, I defend myself. "So, I didn't weasel myself anywhere." 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2ZQGCzMX4
Kat covers her face with her hands.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTI0yuDMiW
...And I immediately feel guilty for speaking up. I should just keep my mouth shut instead of stroking my own ego.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sozACROmX
Even if she did crawl into my bed. I would gladly take all the blame to get another night with her. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QsldwYeDN
"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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSN44pju0Z
"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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpzSEIHWwP
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."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoNhCbAZpm
Shit, is she ashamed... of being caught or of being with me? 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y87S1F1Xz
"Oh..." Red's eyes widen as realization sets in. Is this really that weird for Kat?690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm30mZLMSp
"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."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIjHaTPzoK
"Uh..." Vanessa clears her throat. "Yeah, we're just gonna... go." Her eyes avoid me completely.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E6WCLTXXm
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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFZeZhS3Ci
Kat clears her throat. "I am so sorry about..." She waves her hands toward the door. "...all THAT."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlHwQZF9gc
"Uh... Yeah..." I can't help the laugh that escapes. "That was... weird." 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNq6eYgnsR
She sighs and flops back on the bed, rubbing her hands over her face. The sheet doesn't go with her. "What a mess..." 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdohC92xrNG
"Uh huh..." I'm having a hard time staying focused with her body exposed again. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qL0i63vIt
"Okay, we need a plan." She continues to assault her eyes.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gGnSi5eHg
"Uh huh..." I know I should be paying attention, but she's wearing see through underwear. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc37z8nx9c
She moves her hands from her face and looks at me. "You aren't even listening, are you?"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vRZVppHmt
"Uh huh..." Damn, she caught me off guard. "I mean... yeah. Totally."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6963JbUQKk
She giggles, but hits my arm. "Focus, Ben!"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWbW9UBMSL
"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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnznQwCXoOR
"Oops..." She looks down at her body and throws me an innocent look. "Is this distracting?"690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH0KIwINVU
Oh, she knows what she's doing. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJuCJWXcGM
I reach toward her, needing to feel her smooth skin... Just as a pillow hits me in the stomach. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOl4fMWCQb
"Hey now! You almost hit Big Ben." I grin as the blush takes over her face. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrvqIYfH1D
"Oh my god! Focus, Ben!" She throws the other pillow at my face. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAxkr2ZK2h
"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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUezqH9JJg
"Okay, I'm done beating you." I try to hide the smirk taking over my face. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkotuRLqRf
"You are into some kinky shit." I would totally let her beat me, you know, if she was into that.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZupHrb7PZ
Actually... I would probably let her do anything she wanted. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYsXwdwLRX
"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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOLuYfQEjc
Something flashes in her eyes, so I decide to press it. "Wait, are you really? I was just joking." 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZjHdfQZKr
Her mouth pops open in disbelief. I should probably stop, but I also really want to know. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7iMaRAhjm
"What is it? Whips? Tied up? Foot fetish? Threesomes?" I'm not sure I like the thought of sharing her with anyone else...690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3W2xgjZSU
Her eyes narrow. I seem to have pushed too far. Curiosity killed the cat, right?690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvzdcT0KMa
"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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9diXqPUcOP
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."690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0IFd7t0lN
"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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuT376MRIr
"Yes... this situation." She speaks slowly, as though I'm incapable of understanding. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqdJvIMdei
"So, now we are a situation?" I shoot back, not hiding my offense.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkzGKUnIOn
"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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz8vK2SmA1
I feel like someone kicked me in the stomach. My chest physically hurts. What is wrong with me? 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKArY4JFldT
I didn't want a relationship or anything, but I wouldn't say it was a huge mistake. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSceKCsiuTE
"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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vYp8jdgUR
"You know what I mean." She grabs her dress from the floor and pulls it over her head.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiVaMZCtd8
"Oh no, please enlighten me, Kat." It comes out through gritted teeth. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy97114v4n
"You're mad?" She looks at me with complete confusion. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XR33nwc6M
I glare at her, unsure what to say. Hell yes, I'm mad, but I can't explain why. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY9PmHU0xE
"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. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblYsFKaDak
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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU6CpZFLJi
"Not exactly..." I'm not sure how to respond. 690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLIikpRGF1
"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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuqciu6CJf
"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.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYArnkevjb
"Please just forget any of this happened." She begs before turning to walk out the door.690Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNS2ZNLmkY
"I don't want to forget." I whisper as she walks out of the room with my heart.
