The Trio

Temptation(Jason's pov)

I couldn't help but fall asleep when Alex started to massage me. Her fingers where as light as a feathers against my skin. I was happy, she was caring for me without being weird about it too much. I hated to see her all beat up though, she was trying her best to help out in anyway she could. She was consistently putting herself in danger, but I admired her for it, for risking everything for Lily and I. I didn't sleep much so I woke up to see Alex's face, she was sleeping quite deeply. I turned and saw Lily snuggling into Alex's side, she was hugging her arm closely. I turned back to Alex's face and gently caressed her cheek. As on instinct, she leaned into my touch and I couldn't help but smile at her. This was her with all her walls down, this was her soft side showing. I trusted her so much even if we barely meet 3 days ago, Lily trusted and loved her right away too. I was barely noticing that the bruises on her face were healing slowly as well as her lip and wound. My eyes kept flicking to her lips though as if the temptation was too much to handle. I was asking myself too many questions about how they would feel like, how they would taste like. I didn't know how long I was in my thoughts until I heard,

"What are you doing, Jason?"

I froze, Lily had woken up and saw what I was doing.

"I was checking her face, Lily ." I said looking away from her.

"Jason, I know you weren't, do you like like her, do you?" Lily said smartly. She was innocent but she wasn't stupid. She knew what was truly happening, she knew what I was feeling better then I do. I looked back at her, then to Alex. I knew that this was happening too fast and I didn't really understand why. I wasn't sure on how to answer her question, I didn't even understand what I was feeling anymore. Lily's eyes seemed to look into my soul, trying to find the answer herself but wasn't having any luck what's so ever. I ran my hand through my hair while I closed my eyes in frustration. I swear I could feel myself start to sweat from the lack of words between Lily and I.

"Jason do you?" She repeated once more.

My eyes locked onto hers and the words slowly flowed out of my mouth.

"Lily... I..I..,"
