"We were just kids in love."
Nicole is an outgoing senior in high school, hoping to make this year her best yet. She is the new girl in town and is looking forward to new friends and experiences. All seems to be going smoothly until meeting Tessa.
I...

After the initial shock of Tessa's attack, I pushed her shoulders to get her mouth off mine.
Unwrapping her legs from around my waist, I set her on the ground in front of me.
"What the hell was that, Tessa? You know that I'm with Nicole. Have you lost your damn mind?"
Tessa at least had the decency to cast her eyes to the floor as her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
She whispered, "I'm sorry."
I run my hands through my hair in frustration.
"I have to go."
Pushing her out of my way, I rush to my car and race back to Nicole's house to tell her what happened with Tessa.
Thank goodness the lights are still on in Nicole's bedroom.
I pull my car up to the front of the house, taking a deep breath before making my way up the front porch steps and knocking on the door. A surprised Mrs. Myers opens the door.
"William, is everything okay?" she asks, her forehead creasing with concern.
"Everything's fine," I lie. "Can I please talk to Nicole? I promise it won't take long."
"Of course," she replies, opening the door wider to let me through.
Wasting no time, I rush up the stairs to Nicole's room. Her door is open, and she's looking at her phone tucked under her covers.
"Babe?" I say quietly.
Her doe eyes look up as her brows raise, stunned by seeing me.
She jumped out of bed. "William, is everything okay?"
"She kissed me," I blurted out.
Nicole stopped in her tracks. "I'm sorry, what?"
"Tessa, fucking kissed me." I quickly add, "Her dad was there; I made him leave, and she jumped in my arms and kissed me."
Nicole shakes her head in disbelief, so I continue, "Baby, I promise I pushed her off me as soon as it happened and came right back here to tell you."
I reach for her, but she knocks my hand away, and my heart stops.
"I need a minute," she says as she steps away.
It's not easy letting her have her moment, but it's what she needs, so I give it to her and wait.
"What did you feel?"
Nicole's voice was so quiet; I almost missed what she said. Without hesitation, I stepped towards her wrapping my arms around her and pulling her into my chest.
My mouth went directly to her ear. "I felt disgusted and couldn't push her away fast enough. Your lips are the only ones I want pressing against mine, Nicole. Yours and only yours."
