Next day

Holy fuck. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzt4VY1Xj5
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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWZZUn6K72
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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gXh3fln3b
"Ben?" Her voice barely breaks through the roar of noise as I desperately try to focus on her. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsQFDWbqJM
"Hrrhh?" I think I made a noise, but I can't be sure. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcZwNyWRzQ
"Ben? Ben, are you okay?" Her face is inches from mine as she tries to break through the noise surrounding us. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXRHylG7MJ
Oh shit. She looks really worried. I need to snap out of this. What the hell is wrong with me? 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9C76ivapi
"Yeah... what?" I try to sound nonchalant, but it comes out a few octaves higher than normal. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmEW1nxrQ9
"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." 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNtEPihZt8
"Sorry..." I wasn't sure what to say. To be honest, I wasn't sure what had happened. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedEC8sD0iY
"Was it really bad?" She asks, sounding concerned and incredibly insecure. She is so adorable... and stupid. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4HyxrCV1g
"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? 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJVDUpCpp0
"The kiss." Her eyes are wide as she looks warily at me. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBZlqjHgpJ
"What about it?" I'm feeling defensive for some reason. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoPnxoPG6R
"Was it bad?" She looks genuinely worried. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nPVuCsYlh
"Bad isn't the word I would use." I smirk. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSb4gklXig
"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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPapUmE1OeI
"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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56MRkZGqTZ
She sighs. "Okay, if you say so." She still looks unconvinced. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIve8pU1H8
"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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX1WMOIYTV
"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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVFqOoP24g
"Honestly?" I want to be completely honest with her and this feeling scares the shit out of me. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa65dxIAD8t
"I think so..." A part of me was hoping she would say no. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7RKuydQAC
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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyvPl8a4Wk
"What?" She looks pretty cute when she's anxious. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mk24Sg6fJ
"You wanted honest." She did ask for it, but I still kinda feel bad for scaring her. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3720yo2hd
"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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVlaM3pQAr
"Really?" I smirk. Maybe she likes me. Maybe I have a chance. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPKouw4YkU
"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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe1ykHDiNE
"Oh okay..." It's hard to hide the disappointment. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKwhpoY4Uh
"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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzNl6VZYjJ
"Seriously?" Shouldn't she know the answer to this? 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZo9zxtjjk
"What?" She looks confused. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8iuvWiMrC
"You haven't exactly been friendly. I figured you hated-err... didn't like me." I try to defend myself without getting too defensive. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLb5ZT1fuA
She sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose. Am I giving her a headache? 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfpYjRLlWZ
"Hey... you okay?" I rub her arm, hoping to comfort her. It feels like there's electricity flowing between us, drawing us closer. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytNIxdzkzP
She just stares down at my hand, without saying anything. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWszjvNwXop
"Oh, shit. Sorry." I pull my hand away, realizing I probably offended her... again. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e1cuKLDnb
"It's uh... it's fine." She tries to smile, but it looks strained and uncomfortable. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdxS8VYMUG
"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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnf0sWg6BN
"Right..." She looks skeptical, and for some reason I feel the need to convince her. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3Hylojyst
"Seriously, I'm totally a good listener." I'm totally full of shit, I barely listen to Nate. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl548iAypG
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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXwZW0p88K
"Okay, that's a total lie, I'm a terrible listener." She laughs louder this time. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ICDXpH8rV
Yes, jackpot. I love that sound.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4otYH24Aqa
"Now, that I believe." She smiles.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2ilNGKIKz
"I'm willing to try. For you." And I mean it. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3QStwI4JB
She rolls her eyes. "Oh my god. Has that line ever worked?"670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHuMo58rcf
I try to hide my surprise. "It's not a line." 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxbTeaReTx
"Riiiiigggghhht." She rolls her gorgeous eyes.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZUjXXiplN
"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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C7LzHrBfX
"Nothing but trouble." She smirks, shaking her head in mock disappointment. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl7FJAvpq0
"I'm guessing you don't want to be friends then?" I try to hide my disappointment. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESFnAFBP8U
"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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIf8x0cUiU
"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? 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZT08L8hYg
"Oh please. Don't play innocent. I know your type." Damn, she thinks she has me pegged. If only she knew...670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCat49DkwJu
"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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3OU55Whay
"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." 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S6w7E4pu6
"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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWduLwjq3Z
She leans in to whisper back. "I didn't say that. Why? What do you think?" 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQPVbZAgIz
I lean so close that I my lips brush against her ear. "I asked first." 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSrgF7wpTN
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? 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzKgjY3Z4P
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. 670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38urt38fsT
I'm probably about to make a huge mistake.
