"Think you broke my nose" Mason whines as Barbie continues on patting his nose with a towelette. I knew she could get the sense I did not like her, so there were times she refused to meet my eyes. She only spoke when spoken to. But..that wasn't the case with her best friend Rita. She wasted no time in scolding me on hitting Mason and asked for the reasons.

It wasn't her business

Simple

Seeing Mason again brought back fury. My mother went through hell getting over the break up. But did he care? No, now he's just snuggled up with Ms Barbie not even asking how my mother is doing. How can he just sit there, with no shame like that? No guilt, nothing. I shake my head in annoyance. We almost had a big scuffle in the parking lot but Rita wanted to diffuse the situation by inviting us to her apartment. I did not want to come, but yet..here I was

In there perfectly organized living room. She had bad OCD and made sure everything was neat and tidy in her apartment she shared with Barbie. Rita was always like that, very organized and clean. I always told her she would make a perfect wife. Hate to admit it, I was very comfortable in her space. Even with Mason sitting across from me, giving me a hard glare. I didn't want to move from the memory foam couch. I could sleep on this couch no problem. It was better then my hard sofa. I take my attention off the injured Mason and stare at Rita pacing in front of me, still scolding "you could have killed him Logan" she continues

Mason snorted "he doesn't have that much strength, he should count himself lucky that I didn't hit him back" he defended, punching his palm as if that was suppose to frighten me. "Oh shut up and continue being pampered like a baby" I said grabbing my nose mocking him "oh I'm Mason, I just got punched and now I'm getting medical attention by a girl I barely know" I made sure to give him a goofy grin. He hates when I give him goofy grins after mocking him. He was soon trying to attempt to strangle me but Rita pushed him back.

Barbie looked so out of it "let me go get more ice"

"Yeah you go do that" I said grabbing a cushion and placing it on my lap just in case Mason tried to be bold again. I'll slap him with it.

As she goes to the kitchen, Rita places her hands on her hips and gives me a look "what is up with you Logan?! It's like you turned into...

"A grouchy single old man, is what he turned into" Mason finishes for her. He leaps up and removes his hand from his nose. It was dark red but not broken. "So how have you been?" He grins and it only made me angrier. How is he so happy? He is suppose to be apologizing to me of what he did to my mother. Rita soon blocks my view of Mason and grabs my shoulder. I lean my head back not expecting her to be so close. She feels my forehead before staring into my eyes.

The goosebumps were back and my heart skipped another beat

What the hell was going on? Why was I suddenly now getting nervous around her? "Is everything okay Logan? Do you want to talk about it"

I fought the urge to stare at her lips, and when I did...

I felt heat coming from my face

Those lips...

I had many experiences with those lips

Beautiful, pink plumped lips

When I suddenly started feeling hard, I pushed her away from me. Her body fell on the other side of the couch, and I immediately stood up "I should get going, this was a bad idea"

Mason got in my face almost immediately "listen man, I'm really worried about you" if you can feel the fire that erupted inside me..it was unimaginable. Why is he acting so clueless? He must want me to break his nose. "I can't let you go without talking to you and making sure you're okay.." I tried my hardest to give him a challenging glance "move" I warn
