"Please tell me you didn't fuck my sister..." Michael asks sternly.
"Absolutely not. See, I still have my clothes on. She was drunk, which is partially my fault, but I brought her home, she took her dress off, I made her eat and then I put her to bed. I'd never do that to you or her." I quickly explain.
"There isn't anything going on with you two, right?" He asks.
"She doesn't like me." I remind him.
"Do you like her?" He raises an eyebrow.
"We're never going to happen." I simply state.
"Alright... I mean if it did, I'd be cool with it. I rather hear you two fucking than bickering." He chuckles.

Belle came down to join us for breakfast. Her hair was wet so I'm guessing she took a shower.

"Morning." She smiled at us.
"You're not hungover?" I ask surprised.
"Nope. Thank for helping me out last night, though. I promise I won't let it happen again." She sighed.

No. Please let it happen again. I want to see that sight again. I want you to make me sleep in bed with you, holding you close. I liked last night.

But instead I said,"It was funny to watch you shitfaced."
"I didn't do anything stupid, right?" She asked.
"I'll save you some embarrassment and tell you no." I bit my lip.
"I actually want to know what went on." Michael asks intrigued.
"Lots of talk about that Caleb guy." I shrugged.
"That's history. He only wants to fool around, which is fine but in addition to it, I'd like a relationship." She pouted before grabbing an orange juice and heading out the kitchen.

Before she left she made sure Michael didn't see and mouthed, "Meet me upstairs."

"I need to shower." I say and walk upstairs to meet her.
"From the bits and pieces I can remember, you and I had an interesting conversation." She begins.
"Yeah... um, I like you but it's too cliché, ya know? Brother's best friend, natural enemies, all that." I shrug.
"So am I supposed to keep hating you?" She asks.
"I mean if you hate me..." I don't really know how to answer.
"This is all really weird, for both of us." Belle sighs, "Like what am I to you?"
"I don't know."I groan.
"Well what do you know?" She asks.
"Shut up, will you? All of these stupid questions." I groan.
"Sorry, just trying to figure everything out but I think I just did." She crosses her arms and looks away.
"I didn't mean to snap..." I sit down next to her.

I look at her. She was really pretty with her messy natural hair and her makeup free face. I tilted her chin up and kisses her sweetly.

"We've got to stop doing this." She bit her lip.
"Is that what you want?" I ask.
"Far from it." She let me kiss her again.
