"Ow—"

"Oh my god did I hurt you?" I questioned, looking up from Mili's hand that I had previously been patching up.

And when Mili's lips twitched up into an amused smile, I rolled my eyes.

"You're annoying," I said, confirming that she had faked the pain to mess with me.

Mili only chuckled, "Clearly not enough," she pointed out, leaning into me as I sat on the bathroom counter in front of her.

I only rolled my eyes at her again, focusing back on her hand while her dark eyes seemingly remained on me.

The silence was comfortable and warm—just like her presence.

And her warmness seemed to transfer from her body to mine, especially with how she was standing between my legs—allowing her body to brush against mine.

"Why did you dodge her kiss?" Mili suddenly asked.

And the bold question alone managed to make me look up from her hand, so quickly, I almost caught whiplash.

The question seemed simple.

But the answer is what would complicate things.

Because even I knew it was because of Mili.

"I don't know," I breathed out.

And we both knew it was a lie.

We both knew that I knew why.

"Atiana," Mili said, looking carefully between my eyes—and even the use of my full name managed to make my stomach do somersaults.

I shook my head to myself, looking back down at her bandaged hand, "You—it was you," I breathed out so quietly, hoping she couldn't hear my own breathless words.

But she did, especially when she gently grabbed my chin and aligned our eyes.

"Me?" she questioned, clearly wanting a better explanation.

I blinked a few times, looking between her eyes, "I've thought about you, about us, these past couple of weeks—and I know I shouldn't. I know it's wrong... you're my best friend's sister and I made a promise, but I—"

My rambling was quickly cut short when Mili suddenly pressed her lips to mine, easily sliding her arms around my waist and pulling me into her body.

A hum vibrated in my throat, wrapping my arms around her neck as I tugged her even further into me using my legs.

The kiss was warm and soft—and something that I had dreamed about for the past couple of weeks.

"I thought about you too," Mili said as we pulled back from the breathless kiss.

The reciprocated words alone sent a beautiful warmth throughout my body.

I couldn't help but smile slightly, holding her stare as I said, "Stay the night."

It was bold and definitely not thought out, but I didn't care.

I just didn't want her to leave.

Mili looked between my eyes, "Are you sure?" she questioned, clearly referring to Mya.

I nodded, "I'm positive," I said.

Mili nodded once, "Mya normally isn't up before eight so I can leave early," she determined.

And automatically, I knew that was a good plan.

Mya slept in until at least ten.

Which definitely bought us some time.
