Assisting Miss Yu - Winrina

Chp. 24

"What the fuck were you thinking, Winter?!"

I slouched in my chair at the bar of my kitchen, watching Karina storm around like a maniac. I knew she was going to be furious, but I hadn't expected her to get this upset. I mean, was dating me really that frustrating?

I shrugged, "I wasn't, apparently, I just didn't want you to get pissed on again Karina! I was trying to help!"

She pointed her finger, "I told you I didn't want to pretend to be anything with you, and then this whole situation happened... oh God this is horrible. There's a huge lie we created and Nikki thinks we're just this happy couple with no worries!"

I stood, attempting to retreat to my room for further safety. I didn't know how Karina was going to get back at me, but since there was a rack of knives close by I wasn't taking my chances.

She stepped in front of me, "Where are you going?"

I looked into her icy dark eyes that were penetrating every ounce of strength I had, "Um, my room."

"No, you're going to help me fix what you've done."

Our bodies were close, and I suddenly remembered how I had touched Karina, and how good it had felt. I crossed my arms in defense, "Karina, it's over. Nikki will be leaving and all of this will be behind us."

She shook her head, "I just... I don't know what to do Winter."

I grabbed her shoulders, "Karina, breathe. Everything will be okay, okay?"

We were standing so close to each other, and the more I touched Karina the more turned on I became. I eyed her as she studied me, realizing we had no idea where to go from here. The longer I stood here in front of her the more I wanted to close the gap between us, but I knew better than to do that right now.

I had already fucked up once today.

I pulled away from her, seeing her loosen up and relax slightly at my reassurance. She shook her head, "I swear I could've killed you when you made the comment about my weak spots."

I smirked, laughing to myself, "It got under her skin, like bad. Did you see her face? She was furious."

She sat on the couch, looking very weary and sad, "Yea, she looked hurt."

I sat next to her, "Karina, she doesn't want you to get over her. She told me that. She's jealous that you're happy without her."

She shook her head, "I'm not happy, Winter, she just thinks I am because of you."

"That's what you wanted right?"

She seemed to zone out a bit, as if she wasn't sure what exactly she wanted. She looked at me, "I don't know what I want any more Winter."

I sighed in frustration, "I mean do you want to go back to your selfish, crazy-ass, ex-girlfriend Nikki?"

She shook her head, "I... don't think so?"

I stood, not being able to take this talk anymore, "You know what you need? Wine."

I stalked over to the cabinet that held the alcohol and poured Karina a glass, along with myself because honestly, I needed to relax too. Karina began to protest against but I forced it into her hand, not allowing her to refuse.

She studied me, "Are you trying to get me drunk?"

I laughed, "No, I'm just trying to get you to relax and tell me exactly what is wrong with you."

"I don't know what's wrong with me."

"That's why we're going to figure it out right now."

She sipped on her wine, almost downing the entire glass before bringing it away from her lips. She sighed heavily, "Winter, this isn't right, and you know it."
