On thin ice

~Emma~

Two years ago:

I let my body slouch on the couch next to Charlotte. "I just met a guy." I state as I rethink the moments that have just happened.What a sexy hot guy.

I even flirted.Me.Flirting with a guy. I like him.Or at least the time I spent with him.We almost kissed. I don't really like the 'almost' part of that.

A gasp snaps me back to reality and I turn my head to Charlotte who's face is full of excitement.

"Ooo who is the lucky guy? Is it will?benji?James? I bet it's James,he's so hot.Plus people say he is so sweet,"she starts to ramble. "Plus,he looks so good on the ice,keeping them pucks out of the goal.Now not as sexy as Greyson,but still pretty cute."

"Greyson who?" I ask to clarify if the same sexy god like man is the one she is talking about.

"You don't know Greyson?"maybe I do,maybe I don't.

"Have you attended a hockey game in the two months we have been here?"she asks surprised.

"I haven't actually."by the look on her face,I think I need to justify myself. "I've been really busy lately haven't had a chance."

"Well, I'm going to drag you to every hockey game because my heart hurts that you haven't been to one.You missed out on all the hot boys fighting each other." I chuckle at her tone. "I let her dream.

"Oh I forgot to tell you. I meant Greyson Johnson ."wait.

"Brown fluffy hair,very tall."Johnson?

"He's on the hockey team."davis as in-

"Liv's brother."fucking hell, I almost kissed Olivia's brother.

"And my ex."what?ex?as in ex boyfriend? I almost kissed charlottes ex.

"Well,kinda.we dated for a little while last semester but we ended things cause we didn't really work out as a couple.But that doesn't make him less hot.Quick question,is it weird if you keep making out with an ex? I mean we only make out at parties."she stops. "I'm totally taking over this conversation.Tell me about the guy you met?" I blink.

Fuck.

A stressed laugh comes out. I can fix this.

"The guy I met.Right." I press my lips together.

I can fix this.

Come on,Emma.You can do this.

"Actually, I don't know his name.He gave me a drink but then his friend came before I could ask his name."my tongue spills out lies and my heart jumps hoping she doesn't notice. I shouldn't lie to her,yet I am anyway but the truth might hurt her more than a lie.

"It's still only early."her face in a massive smile showing her dimples.

Guilt hits me like a wave. I almost kissed her ex.

Well done,Emma.Well done.

"I've only known you for a couple of months, but it feels like I've known forever."her words sweet. I finally say goodbye to Liv and Charlotte,the moments of the night still replaying in my head.

"Leaving already,em?" I lift my head. I am meet with a warm smile and my stomach flips. I let my eyes wander all over the body leaning against the wall before looking back at the grin on Greysons lips.

Get a grip,Jesus Emma.Don't cross that line.Not when you could possibly fuck up two really good friendships.What is worse than your friend kissing your ex or brother.Because he is both.Which is why I should walk away,yet my feet don't move.
