Same day

624Please respect copyright.PENANAkJCV2sUQYG
"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. 624Please respect copyright.PENANA2o8qL4OeWu
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. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAaDF4yT9SjE
"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.624Please respect copyright.PENANAhFsdzlz5Jp
He pulls my hands away from my face. His eyes meeting mine. "No, you aren't. You are just hurting."624Please respect copyright.PENANAzf2gs3Ls6N
Is that it?624Please respect copyright.PENANAxyzB3AaqGV
When I caught him with that whore, I was almost relieved. Maybe I'm just not processing my emotions properly... 624Please respect copyright.PENANAs11JL5EUrO
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. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAIX7n9rcaFb
I think he wanted to get caught. He probably hoped I would join in or something.624Please respect copyright.PENANAaYzFmMXQce
What a creep. How could I give so much to him? I cannot let myself get wrapped up in another man like that again. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAkkyMUa98sV
I need to be strong. 624Please respect copyright.PENANADvRf4hSoaH
624Please respect copyright.PENANAQptsdtPIYB
I need to be independent. 624Please respect copyright.PENANA0sh2pOP7DE
624Please respect copyright.PENANA2TdbiSgsvt
I need to make better choices. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAVUWkiB9Eir
I need to... not be here. Crap.624Please respect copyright.PENANAPAFmr1h7A1
Ben makes me feel weak and vulnerable.624Please respect copyright.PENANAEsTmEAoYYM
But also powerful and wanted. 624Please respect copyright.PENANApmIQhqK1cy
Ugh... I am so confused. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAIYYFHc3ueu
I do know that hopping from one guy literally onto another is not a good choice.624Please respect copyright.PENANA1w0q0UamAH
I also know that nothing casual can happen with my best friend's boyfriend's best friend. That would be all kinds of complicated. 624Please respect copyright.PENANABsSX6L2kW1
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.624Please respect copyright.PENANAi2uVxOxwLs
He smirks, tucking my hair behind my ear. "There she is, the wheels are turning again." 624Please respect copyright.PENANAxzJPz487DA
I can't help the laugh that bubbles up. I probably sound insane, but this night is all sorts of messed up. 624Please respect copyright.PENANALeKWix20Nl
His face lights up and his dimples emerge. Crap. His smile turns my insides to jelly.624Please respect copyright.PENANA9X5ONnXlA0
"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.624Please respect copyright.PENANAdfMAwg5TXt
"I think..." I need a light topic. I just want to ignore my problems. "I think this has been the weirdest night."624Please respect copyright.PENANAnfBejRy9Hy
He nods in agreement. "Weird good or weird bad?"624Please respect copyright.PENANAyvuPgBMG8z
"Hah... Both?" I wince, knowing he's going to prod for more and I don't want to go any deeper.624Please respect copyright.PENANAaTmJoPS9Iu
"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. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAculrLBp8JL
I am so weak. 624Please respect copyright.PENANA8GWSZpykY1
"Hmm..." His touch is relaxing and I feel the day catching up with me. The emotions and tears taking their toll on my body. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAQRuRUz4yEx
"You falling asleep on me, Kitty Kat?" I can hear the smile in his voice, but I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open.624Please respect copyright.PENANAlvqKOp8KgL
"I am not a cat." I say, as sternly as I can muster, but it comes out weak. 624Please respect copyright.PENANApfKZvzZRws
"Meow." He chuckles at his own joke.624Please respect copyright.PENANAvuuRk5IF3l
"You are so not funny." I mumble.624Please respect copyright.PENANA4hT4WbkgTF
"Oh come on. You're no fun." He tries to tease me, but he doesn't realize just how accurate he is. 624Please respect copyright.PENANARK5Wn2fVWD
Maybe if I were more fun, things would be different. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAVYUOCdsLEt
"If only you knew..." I snuggle into his hard chest, hoping he won't ask anymore questions. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAdInULyftVP
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.624Please respect copyright.PENANAtBblSe8lzF
In fact, he pulls me tighter. Resting his face in my hair. 624Please respect copyright.PENANA2NDQ6nHlLl
"Don't worry, I will protect you." He whispers and as I drift off into oblivion, I actually believe him. 624Please respect copyright.PENANApkOPxDjQnz
I awake to the sounds of muffled shouting. There is a heated argument somewhere nearby. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAo0wW3eOzWU
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.624Please respect copyright.PENANACkwtyHAS2k
Oh no. 624Please respect copyright.PENANA4lPeucbDEY
What did I do? 624Please respect copyright.PENANAVrzWAT3ONg
Scanning the room, I realize I have no idea where I am or who could be behind me.624Please respect copyright.PENANAPUAlNMorrK
Unless Vanessa is having a really rough morning, that was definitely too deep to be her voice.624Please respect copyright.PENANAx7LReH0fSp
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.624Please respect copyright.PENANAqDdy6IPsJf
I remember crying at some point.624Please respect copyright.PENANAPXnclIrTo2
624Please respect copyright.PENANAk5cEQrruqq
I remember drinking more than I should have.624Please respect copyright.PENANAFOxyWCj7fN
624Please respect copyright.PENANAniI70gRmlo
I remember Vanessa being her usual self. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAILEmacEq51
624Please respect copyright.PENANAfXqKTljOaC
I remember her new boy toy stuck to her side. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAqaDwHtrD5U
624Please respect copyright.PENANA6Zeq8He4Ps
And I remember... Uh oh. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAJCEWFqf81d
It couldn't be... I wouldn't... Would I?624Please respect copyright.PENANA4uQGHulkOH
Am I really asking myself this after waking up next to some random guy? Well, maybe not so random...624Please respect copyright.PENANAzXPvGo8oa2
Oh god, this is all sorts of complicated. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAYpWXhxSbL0
Okay, I just have to know... I try to roll over gently, without disturbing him. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAb59d60byXB
I find a pair of amused green eyes staring back at me. A gorgeous grin with dimples on his stupid perfect face. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAg9jMm3IaSx
Crap. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAxQrQpwfN72
I know I'm blushing hard, I can literally feel my face burning. 624Please respect copyright.PENANA8KfHPoglRl
How did this happen?624Please respect copyright.PENANARwpmNsW61B
"You done freaking out yet?" He asks with a chuckle. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAiJtXWMwQxZ
Is he... laughing at me? 624Please respect copyright.PENANA6p4AN2piFq
"Uh..." And just like that, he has short circuited the connection between my brain and mouth. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAX39oeBc1OY
"Don't panic." He talks softly, like I am some wild animal that might bite him.624Please respect copyright.PENANAcxOK7LCJFq
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. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAJYcxeckHxp
My curiosity wins, just barely. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAaFkkhziF7j
"Nothing happened." I must look really confused, because he feels the need to explain further. "We didn't have sex."624Please respect copyright.PENANAWwVkZXrwGn
"Oh..." I'm not sure if I should be relieved or hurt that he was naked laying next to me.624Please respect copyright.PENANARmf9B0T53e
Nope. Not letting my mind go there.624Please respect copyright.PENANASdKAMe9cDi
I choose to feel relief. I wouldn't have remembered it anyway. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAhFqFV60bUx
"Not for lack of you trying, of course." He flashes a cocky smirk at me. 624Please respect copyright.PENANA3we3MOOqAl
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? 624Please respect copyright.PENANAHT5sTvb3H0
I vaguely remember waking up and thinking I heard my name through the wall and then... 624Please respect copyright.PENANANKdRSifflN
"No way... I... Oh god!" My eyes pop open so wide, they begin to hurt.624Please respect copyright.PENANAfZC1lgco65
Crap. Did I really climb on top of him? Yep, I was totally grinding on him.624Please respect copyright.PENANAP6ODMM1021
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. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAn1Cn8XKBYS
His eyes meet mine. "Reminiscing?" 624Please respect copyright.PENANAfHQQmROf6u
"What! No!" My voice is too high and rushed to be convincing. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAo1jTnSHm5L
I remember licking his defined chest.624Please respect copyright.PENANAAPimEZ8JY1
624Please respect copyright.PENANAXeiaKjRbje
I remember... 624Please respect copyright.PENANARGdT24n2UD
he was naked!624Please respect copyright.PENANAERIyDd2MLA
I inwardly groan. I totally touched him. I know how big he is and... 624Please respect copyright.PENANAdi9229WNnh
Oh god! I know how he tastes. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAHHvqGTV7uR
"Shit." I know it's inelegant, but I can't think of anything else to say.624Please respect copyright.PENANAjmIf1cmpl3
His mouth pops open as his face twists in shock. "Did you just... I can't believe you just said shit!" 624Please respect copyright.PENANAzRTkQkWzuA
"What? Why not?" I sit up, feeling defensive. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAGf7d4AcuOa
Why is he so shocked? He barely knows me. Why does he assume this? Did I say something weird last night?624Please respect copyright.PENANA5Deqw4IXJC
"You seemed kinda offended when I cussed, so I guess I just assumed..." He looks shy, almost like he was caught doing something wrong.624Please respect copyright.PENANAu7HpFHDAji
"Based on?" Sure, I don't make a habit of using curse words, but it's more an ingrained reflex than an actual choice. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAEh3tkHVrFT
He hesitates, like he's afraid to say and I begin to feel slightly nervous. Crap, what did I say?624Please respect copyright.PENANAEbczpeUc9Q
"You... uh... kinda flinched." He blushes and looks around the room. Insecure Ben is totally adorable. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAEDr58zbGjr
"Oh." I'm honestly not sure how to respond because I definitely can't tell him the truth. "Well, I wasn't offended."624Please respect copyright.PENANAyc6VehowrL
"Okay." He blows out a breath, looking up at the ceiling. "If you say so." 624Please respect copyright.PENANAor9spnaYks
He looks completely unconvinced but I can't give him more than that. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAEynOZ2yk3Z
"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. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAd6iqqe2myQ
"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?"624Please respect copyright.PENANAgQFYb1TNw4
I look down at myself, just now realizing I'm sitting here in lacy underwear. 624Please respect copyright.PENANA7tyr6ErnGq
When I don't respond, Ben flashes his smile. "Or not, I mean you look great." 624Please respect copyright.PENANAdIo2yTnzDr
I am unable to hide the look of shock on my face before I snatch the sheet to cover myself. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAWkjwz3oG1Y
Which is no longer covering "Little Ben", if you can even call it that.624Please respect copyright.PENANAQO1WAWPLB6
Oops.624Please respect copyright.PENANAhPv9rHpslv
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. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAEy2N6Gng0m
Unable to stop myself, I have apparently lost my filter completely around this man. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAsNdKzuuq90
"Well hello, Big Ben." I try not to giggle like an immature school girl, but Ben's laugh makes me laugh harder. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAq9T9wFzKbc
"Big Ben, huh?" He grins, making my stomach flutter. He shakes his head, amused. "What am I going to do with you?"624Please respect copyright.PENANA4Uq032Nqum
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?624Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ6GgNCgy9
My gaze returns to "Big Ben", as it seems to grow, straining to reach me. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAd1HdBdi86K
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. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAeEHOl87QjK
"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. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAsNE5Xi0uof
I lick my lips, remembering last night. I can't get my mouth to form words.624Please respect copyright.PENANAp0iIDENDuP
"Because I wouldn't mind seeing a little more." He reaches forward, tugging down the sheet. 624Please respect copyright.PENANARrjSruvYMl
He sucks in a breath. "Fuck, Kat."624Please respect copyright.PENANA2W9x129ssX
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.624Please respect copyright.PENANAjl5mTItLPD
He caresses my breasts through the sheer fabric. "God damn, you are beautiful." 624Please respect copyright.PENANAj2Dx6OrZJf
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. 624Please respect copyright.PENANArIyyGRKh0q
His hands move down my body as his mouth meets mine. His kiss is hungry and desperate and I can't get enough. 624Please respect copyright.PENANA1XjaC3CDMh
His hand grazes me where I'm aching and I nearly explode. I need him. Now. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAgyIA4X56NL
"Do you have a condom?" He has to have one in here somewhere, right?624Please respect copyright.PENANA6oRukkmRBF
He blushes and looks slightly uncomfortable. "Actually..." We both freeze as the sound of yelling grows closer. 624Please respect copyright.PENANAmGOPEm8r6k
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?" 624Please respect copyright.PENANAWb3yzYsvxr
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. 624Please respect copyright.PENANA7G4BBEPJjZ
I can't help the laughter that bursts out of me at the sight of her craziness. "Calm yourself, Vanessa."
