As he leans forward, I know my world is about to change. This guy has way too much power over me. What am I even doing? 817Please respect copyright.PENANA4wkBWG79B8
This is not me.817Please respect copyright.PENANAxOsEDkcS1c
817Please respect copyright.PENANAr34Lot2813
I am not impulsive. 817Please respect copyright.PENANA6zfKIs8XNA
817Please respect copyright.PENANAgXjjnT7tEA
I do not lose control.817Please respect copyright.PENANAU5y1PW2otJ
817Please respect copyright.PENANAzL8qiVxdZL
I do not kiss random guys.817Please respect copyright.PENANAPkM2W4yfw8
Okay, so he isn't completely random since his friend is kinda dating my friend, but still... I don't know him. At all. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAcRLSubUF0k
From want Ness has told me, he is a total player. 817Please respect copyright.PENANApZTiJBgq2L
817Please respect copyright.PENANAobvEQfcROH
I run my eyes down his body. A very hot player. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAVCidj0Kj3i
817Please respect copyright.PENANApu0TGOWjHa
With big bulging muscles. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAwjF4VDMiXV
817Please respect copyright.PENANAOnxKuIzCZr
And hair a girl could sink her fingers into...817Please respect copyright.PENANABwvTpkyZL6
817Please respect copyright.PENANALJRfk6S69i
And dimples... 817Please respect copyright.PENANAdDyzAIrqK6
817Please respect copyright.PENANAN30lRv83mP
Encasing a heart stopping smile.817Please respect copyright.PENANARmiF8mC1Zd
817Please respect copyright.PENANATRO9w7vV7E
And deep green eyes... That just so happen to be staring at me. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAYwYHGz2Po2
Crap. He's really close. Is that desire in his eyes? Or maybe he is completely repulsed by the kiss we shared. Oh no, is he going to vomit on me? I really like this dress.817Please respect copyright.PENANAJm6DtoXlCJ
What is he doing? What is he thinking? Would it be weird to ask him? Duh... Of course it would be weird!817Please respect copyright.PENANAOyWblyneuO
Is he waiting for me to make a move? What should I do?817Please respect copyright.PENANAomHU3UX7tF
Crap, he has me over thinking everything. I need to stop. What does 'Ness always say? I sneak a glance in her direction, but she's stuck to Nate like a sucker fish. She is definitely not going to be any help.817Please respect copyright.PENANAQGsLipWGoP
"Just go with the flow." I hear her voice replay in my head. Right... I can totally do that. Easy enough. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ7c5rFIWZ
The flow... 817Please respect copyright.PENANAphMIpkD536
But what is the flow here? Is the flow kissing or not kissing? Does the flow involve talking or not talking? 817Please respect copyright.PENANAhjlmwA8ShB
Gah! I need to know what he's thinking. Would I totally ruin everything if I said something? I have to say something. 817Please respect copyright.PENANA4Leml5CLtE
He pulls back slightly, giving me room to breathe. I immediately miss his closeness. I miss the warmth of his body near mine. My body notices the loss and begins the pull towards him again.817Please respect copyright.PENANAkbInB78d8d
Good god, I have been single for less than a day and I am already craving someone else. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAZsRbADqcHK
I am not this girl. 817Please respect copyright.PENANARXt5a51sqO
817Please respect copyright.PENANA7POuKS6yJ9
I am independent. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAftNpHbZSIX
817Please respect copyright.PENANA8xWFjFt8w9
I am intelligent. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAiLQ9NdWyTU
817Please respect copyright.PENANAo8Q9CWDsGs
I do not crave any guy. 817Please respect copyright.PENANA7Nb1dfS9Rp
817Please respect copyright.PENANAG8C8R2VXeD
I have my head on straight. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAWi0420nRa6
I will NOT fall for him. Or his tricks.817Please respect copyright.PENANAxs1we8OpgJ
"Kat?" His eyebrows draw together, giving him a look of concern. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAmR3aBbiKSS
Shoot. How long have I been sitting here staring off into space? 817Please respect copyright.PENANAj8w5LGQL4G
"Uh... Yeah?" My voice comes out strained. What the heck is wrong with me? I bring my hand up to hide my face. Maybe if he can't see me, he will forget I'm the idiot sitting here. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAIWmobGeugX
Hey, a girl can hope, right?817Please respect copyright.PENANAcA0q2RR5Va
No such luck. He pulls my hand away to gently lay it on the table, but he doesn't release it. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAPJi7SyHJOh
"You okay?" He quirks a brow. I wonder if he feels the flow of electricity between our hands like I do. Does he feel the pull between our bodies, as though they long to be united?817Please respect copyright.PENANA5Rwy9coKAL
Or am I just totally crazy?817Please respect copyright.PENANAUvGF2QN2YG
I glance down at our entwined hands ignoring my brain's plea to pull away. This connection with him is oddly comforting.817Please respect copyright.PENANAfZpvq65koz
My eyes slide up to meet his. "I'm fine." I manage to get the words out, but even I'm not convinced. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAOMcZEwYZhn
He lets out a soft chuckle before leaning forward to whisper in my ear. "I can literally see the wheels turning in your brain."817Please respect copyright.PENANAnm5a5hpmch
I pull back, my mouth dropping open. God, could I be any more awkward? 817Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZKnKoqZtC
I'm not sure what to say, but he continues without prompting. "I didn't realize anyone actually thought that hard." His cocky smirk returns. 817Please respect copyright.PENANASB1pCIAnop
I scoff, yanking my hand from his. "Sorry to burst your bubble, but not every girl is an air brained bimbo." I cross my arms while leaning back to glare at him. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAjSjqAWSUEZ
His eyebrows shoot up in surprise, his hands raised in surrender. "I never said that."817Please respect copyright.PENANAQpt4MiDrAu
"Yeah, well... I have thoughts." Crap. That was really lame. "Deep thoughts." Yeah, that didn't make it better. How much did I drink?817Please respect copyright.PENANA9tle0jP16x
"I bet you do. I didn't mean to imply anything about you... or the entire female gender." He seems genuine, but maybe he's being condescending.817Please respect copyright.PENANAyEoHp3enpk
I can't decide if I want to believe him or not. Being offended is easier than being vulnerable.817Please respect copyright.PENANAATFXszb91e
"Well, maybe you don't know everything." I try to hold onto the indignation, but I feel it slipping away as the confusion fills his eyes. 817Please respect copyright.PENANA2FVApSnrji
I can tell he's trying to figure out where my hostility is coming from and where he went wrong, but I just want to be angry. And it has nothing to do with him.817Please respect copyright.PENANAjhNyNHizlN
"Never said I did." Insecurity flashed across his face amplifying my need to comfort him. Opening up could be a terrible idea. I'm going to blame the alcohol in my system. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAHsPpq1WCAb
"I..." I let out the breath I didn't realize I was holding. "I... uh... tend to over think things. Pretty much everything. And today... actually yesterday, at this point, was not the best day." 817Please respect copyright.PENANAdY4VbRkmWH
"I didn't know..." His eyebrows draw together, the concerned look returning to his beautiful face. "You really can talk to me you know."817Please respect copyright.PENANAkoH8zEYfap
He gently pulls my hand back to his and begins to rub his thumb along my palm. An involuntary shiver runs through my body.817Please respect copyright.PENANA8jMrg6xkGf
I am so screwed. 817Please respect copyright.PENANATkZg1FgNrD
He's not only incredibly good looking with the body of a Greek god, but he seems to be a pretty good guy... 817Please respect copyright.PENANA7a5CFnIzTl
Dang it. I will not fall for him. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAymk57d3196
I feel drowsy, like I'm floating. "But can I trust you?" I whisper. In the back of my brain somewhere, I know that was lame... but I can't filter anymore. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAss7btMVJaI
"Of course." He looks deep into my eyes, like he's trying to convince me, but I'm already convinced. My eyes burn from the need to close them.817Please respect copyright.PENANAyID3u8UYTp
I open my mouth, unsure what's going to come out. "The douche bag knew I would catch him, didn't he?"817Please respect copyright.PENANA9XJresIwxZ
"What are you talking about?" I hear his voice through the haze. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAmqALaLK6nK
I'm not sure how to explain. "He had... she was... he had her... doing that... in our bed. He probably just wanted an excuse to get rid of me. I was too boring. I could never do... that... what she was doing... I couldn't. I wouldn't."817Please respect copyright.PENANANormzaHelR
I hear male voices mumbling. It feels like there's water in my ears. I think 'Ness is talking, but I can't understand her. But she will understand what I'm trying to say. She always understands me.817Please respect copyright.PENANAoy228b2w9P
I can't stop myself now that I've started. "I really thought he loved me... God, I loved him... Didn't help though. I'm not what he wanted." Spots dance in front of my eyes. And my lungs burn.817Please respect copyright.PENANAia6OrK6NIg
"Why am I such a prude? Why wasn't I enough?" It's hard to breathe... and my face feels wet. Am I crying? I really need air. Everything hurts.817Please respect copyright.PENANATdg4d54mQA
I can feel my body giving into the darkness, as my mind drifts to my soft bed. I just want to sleep. I just want this night to end. I feel my eyelids growing heavy. I'm unable to stop them from closing, not that I would want to. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAk2m1Hq4Kjt
"Kat?" I hear Ben's anxious voice in the distance, but all I can feel is my body giving into sweet sleep. My body just wants to shut down and I want to let it even though I know this isn't a good idea.817Please respect copyright.PENANApuUSIIHTpE
As he catches me in his strong arms and his scent surrounds me, he is my last thought before the darkness pulls me under. 817Please respect copyright.PENANAyFziNB0kJo
I will not fall... any more... for him.
